"Wonderful!" Yi Lian exclaimed, "Welcome to Huainan!"Trimotar wrote:Lu Hou was impressed by the display put up by this woman. He was convinced indeed. There were no other letters that convinced him, and he was going to stay.
Hou: I will help you in achieving your goal and ambitions, Lady Yi. Your goals are aligned with mine, and I will do what I can to help you.
If agreed, the guards at the gate would perform a search and remove all weapons. One of them says, "I will go with you with your weapon, but this is customary. Forgive us, but you look imposing and if we have trouble in there, we would have our heads cut off."Timeless wrote:Zhang Lu made his way to Huainan after receiving a letter from Lady Yi. The trip had taken longer than he expected, much longer, but now finally he stood at the gate to Lady Yi's Audience Hall. After going up to one of the guards he speaks
Zhang Lu: "Greetings, I am Zhang Lu. I received a letter from Lady Yi, and would like to speak with her. If that is ok, and the invitation has not expired."
"Tu brothers?" The guards wrinkled their eyes a bit, and thought about this situation. One of them step forward and said, "If you wish to speak to the lady, you must submit to a search and give all your weapons to us. We will hold it while you're inside, and will return it to you when you're done. You two look like warriors."Dongli wrote:Two imposing men arrive at the entrance of this city. They look exactly alike, except for some minor details. One of them goes forward and standing upright close to six feet, he speaks to the reason why he's here. We have received a letter from Yi Lian. Please tell him that the Tu brothers are here.
After the search and the disarmament, the two brothers are escorted inside to the Audience Hall. Yi Lian was sitting there when the two came in. She looked at the brothers with intrigue, as they are alike in every way. Wondering what's going on, she asked, "How may I help you?"Dongli wrote:One of the handed over his weapon and the other nodded. They were warriors and big at that. One of them said, We submit to the search and here is my sword. Make sure you take good care of it. It is my family's heirloom.
"Ju brothers!" She exclaimed and shook her head. "My guards informed me that it was the Tu brothers that wanted to see me. I'm sorry that there were some misunderstand. Yes, of course, Sir Ju Nuo, and and Sir Ju Tao, it is good that you have come to meet me. Let me extend an invitation of hospitality. Please, sit down." She pointed to chairs that are near them.Dongli wrote:Ju Nuo frowned a little, but he stayed back. His brother, Ju Tao spoke on behalf of the two. I am Ju Tao, this is my brother Ju Nuo. We were born on the same day, though my brother was born a little before me. You had invited us to speak with you? We are responding to your letter.
Yi Lian looked at the two, intrigued by the way they are. There will be time when she would ask how this could be, but for now, she went straight at the task at hand. "From what I hear, you two aren't brutes. If I understand correctly, you two are warriors, trained in the art of combat. The way you stand and the way you carry about yourself, you must be one who hold great martial prowess."Dongli wrote:Ju Nuo's expression changed. He shook his head, thinking that it was him and his brother that caused the misunderstanding. Ju Tao also laughed. He moved forward and bowed. We apologize, apparently, I didn't know how to pronounce my own name! Thank you for the wine.
Ju Nuo took the wine and drank a little of it. Tao sat next to his brother, he speaks. Our trip was uneventful until we received your letter. Thanks. But you invited us here for a reason. We have gotten many other letters as well. My brother Nuo and I were born one after the other, that's why we look alike. The doctors couldn't explain it, but ever since we were young, we were looked down upon. So we improve on our physical martial arts and my brother Nuo is a better combatsman than I am. What does a lady need from two brutes?
