He could hardly tell what the man was hinting at, but Yongrui was somewhat assured by the man's benign intentions. The fire of his anger died, and the stewing frustration pent up in him simmered away, slowly. He finally took a seat across from Lu Zhi, before he spoke again. "Well then, Lu Zhi,...

Yongrui shook his head at the news, for it was grim indeed. "I am Lao Yongrui, former Lord of Qufu. It seems that debilitating illness runs in the family, for I was bedridden for nearly four months, put down by a killing poison. If we were family of course. Surely you know Xia Xi is my godfathe...

Yongrui follows the guards into the office. It was by no means small, but it was no audience hall. The man looked around the room, mildly confused. "I don't believe the guards heard me correctly. I wish to speak to the ruler of this place, not his man, Li Zhu. Surely you remember me?" Yong...

The guard looks at this man, pale from being inside at months at end, and spoke, "I can let you see lord Li Zhu, if you hand me that sword you are clinging to." Paranoia was not a trait Lao Yongrui had claimed before, but he eyed the guards suspiciously as they requested his sword. A war ...

It had been several months before Yongrui could take a step out of his bed, and so much has happened since then. It was in the deep winter snow of January when he had last seen anything outside of his own bedroom, in the village of Shantian. His closest advisers expected poison, and many did not exp...

Shing Kong smiled. "That's fine. The decision will not be made on something like this, but it's still good to know. Thank you for your frankness Manager." Kong turned. "Gan Lu. Anything to add?" Gan Lu sort of shrugged. "No. You know what we need to know, nothing else is ne...

Kong patiently listened as Lao Yongrui responded. When asked about his second question, he looked over to Gan Lu, as if silently asking him if he should not ask. Gan Lu didn't do much anything in response, which helped embolden him. He turned back to Manager Lao and asked, "My second question ...

Shing Kong noticed the snow falling and frowned a bit. He thought he left the stuff behind. It's not that he had a problem with snow, but there was quite a bit up north at times and it was a pain to travel through. Hopefully it would stay light... "I'm afraid I cannot promise you anything at t...

"Gan Lu here taught me since I was a wee lad. Took me in, pushed me to learn. Taught me how to ride, how to fight. I'll admit I'm not that bright, but Gan Lu taught me enough on how to live and be a man. He is a man of honor. A true asset to anyone he deems worthy of him. I'm grateful to him f...
