"To help me find the answer, or rather, to tell you that I don't know the answer, magistrate" He takes the wine and seated himself, after he sips his wine, he turns to Lin Xin and said: "I can' answer that, not as yet. Because I don't know what you need, I can virtually do everything, well, maybe not everything, but I can do anything, limited to human capabilities of course. It's only depends about what I do best, and what I do worst. What I do best is in battlefield, but maybe I'll do much worst in Political. Is that clear, magistrate?"

The Marquis nodded, ignoring the slip in his title. "You do look like a fitting warrior," said Xin as he studied the stranger who spoke around the subject. "What are your experiences on the battlefield? The men of Yue are hardened fighters and will not just follow anyone."

He snapped his fingers as he suddenly got a great idea. Xin motioned for his friend and bodyguard, Aoi, to approach. Turning back to Guan, Xin says with a smile, "Master Fu, may I ask for a demonstration of your skills. My bodyguard here is one of the great fighters from my village. This will allow me to assess your talent if you will accept a friendly duel."

((Friendly duel challenge. Send tactics to me. Ro Aoi (29) 35-81-66-43-72 Faze I, Engineer I, Instructor I, Public Planner I, Rupture I, Volley I))

"Well, if you asked my experience in the battlefield, I was defeated. But there was a reason for that. My Lord gave me an ill-trained and ill-equipped army, and their lack of fighting morale has turn the knot of the battle. As many wise men said, numbers is but only a small portion portion of what is necessary in the battlefield."

Fu Guan turn to the guard, his face turn pale, and said: "Well, of course. But since I kind left my axe, I'll just use my bare hands then".

Xin sits back in his seat and claps. The guards in the room clear out an area in the middle for a make-shift octagon, growing in anticipation at a rare display of combat inside the Audience Chamber.

Aoi takes off his shirt, cracking his knuckles while rippling his pectorals as he enters the ring with a smirk.

Fu Guan, a powerful man in his own right, squares off with a little bit of doubt showing on his face but then set in determination, rolling his neck and stretching his arms to loosen up.

The opponents bow to each other before approaching, circling as each gauges the stance and style of the other. Approaching closer, Guan tests Aoi's defenses with a couple of quick jabs, which were easily blocked. However, that only served to lulled Aoi to believe his opponent was less skilled than he looked. Thinking he had an opening, the Marquis' guard attempts a right cross, aimed at Guan's nose. With lightening quick speed, the warrior ducked under what would be a powerful blow and connected Aoi's sternum with a punch of his own followed by a leg sweep that sent Aoi flying.

A little dazed, Aoi quickly flipped himself upright as Guan came charging in to try to take advantage of the situation. Weaving to the left, Aoi avoided a right hook while slamming his fist into Guan's side, causing Guan's face to grimace in pain. Undaunted, though, the stronger warrior turned with surprising grace to wrap is arms around Aoi's back, again focusing on the Yue man's stomach area with a knee, doubling him over. Raising both arms up in the air and clasping his fists, Guan delivers a bone cracking blow down on Aoi's back, further draining his strength.

Staggering a bit, Aoi rolls away to gain some distance and time to recover his breath. Seeing an opportunity to take a decisive victory, Guan takes a couple of large steps, preparing to kick Aoi before he could get up. Sensing the incoming attack, Aoi twists to grap Guan's leg and gives a mighty jerk, throwing the guest off balance. However, the man's powerful blows had drained much of Aoi's strength, slowing him down. Panting heavily, the guard gets to a knee as Guan recovered his balance.

Again, the two men clashed in the center of the octagon, resorting to brute strength as each struggles to gain control of the other. Finally, after some deft maneuvering, Guan slipped around Aoi and threw the man to the ground, standing over him ready to deliver the final blow.

The Marquis stands and shouts, "Stop!" while clapping. Aoi lay panting on the ground as the Marquis steps down with a smile. "Master Fu," he says, "I think you don't give your talents enough credit. You are a skilled figher and I would be honored to have you lead the men of Yue."

Fu Guan breaths heavily, it was a challenge because he doesn't usually go to bare handed brawl. It was quite a fight though. "Well, maybe I'm skilled fighter, but skilled fighter doesn't guarantee skilled general, although you can say I'm doing my best in what I do. And I would gladly serve under your banner, and lead the people of Yue. So..." Fu Guan bow low, then rise again, smiling: "Where's my quarter?"

Xin laughs as he claps the man on his shoulders. Leaning over to help Aoi up, the Marquis gives his bodyguard a slap on the back as well.

"That was a good fight my friend," said Xin as he signaled for a servant.

To Guan, he says, "This servant will take you to your temporary quarters until a more permanent one is assigned. Someone will be bringing you your stuff, including your weapon. Welcome to Yue."

((Fu Guan joins Yue! Post OI here and PH access will be granted.))

Zhao Feng approached the gates of Lin Xin's administrative building, flanked by the grotesque Gronchi, who walked huddled over with a cloak over his head, and the beautiful, Sun Lian. Zhao stopped short of the guards and announced, "I am Zhao Feng, come to speak with the honorable Lin Xin. With me are Gronchi and Sun Lian. We wish to speak to him about terms of service.

((Gronchi and Sun Lian are also PCs. I have the permission of Rayne and YoungBoi to RP with their character here.))

(OOC: CC's Edit: 'Permission' is insufficient to leave and join kingdoms, they need to post their departure and their joining as well.)

One of the guards, a captain as it would appear, steps forward and bows to the small band and says, "That shouldn't be a problem. You of course will have to relinquish all weapons before being admitted and, once a search has been conducted, an audience will be granted."

((No worries. They'll RP before anything official happens. Ann said the joining is the only RP she's really concerned about.))

"Of course," Zhao replied, handing the guard his sword, while the others were similarly stripped of their armaments. "We have nothing to hide."

He waited patiently while the guards conducted their search.

Once the search had been conducted and each of the three were found to not have any more weapons, they are soon escorted to the chambers of the Marquis. Once they have entered the guard announces the visitors and proceeds to take a position at the doorway, thus allowing the group to address Lord Lin.
