Central Plains Swordsman

Chapter 3 Love Triangle

He frowned and stared

his wife. "Within any war can happen. It is difficult to predict who is stronger and who will win. Sometimes the winning troops also lose many soldiers and retainers. If we lose the war, you must leave the battlefield, save yourself and return to the palace to save Jiu Cien. Don't let him get hurt or be a prisoner of the enemy."

Zsu Mei stretched her body, looking at her husband's affection. His eyes shine in love. "I have sworn my allegiance. Life and death are always with you. Brother, if I die in war, then you must save yourself, go to the palace and save our son. But if you die then I die with you, defending my husband is my darma of loyalty and honor as a wife."

"Zsu Mei my lover, I can't possibly escape from the battlefield" the man insisted.

Suddenly Zsu Mei remembered someone, she smiled "Why don't you ask Big Brother Sima Yi to help Jiu Cien. Among all the warriors gathered here, he was the highest of his body's light sciences. It was very easy for him to escape to return to the palace to save Jiu Cien."

"He's a real man, he won't run from the battlefield." Suddenly the man smiled, he remembered something. Hugging his wife, he whispered. "But Sima Yi would have been willing to do that if you had persuaded him. I don't think there will be a man who can refuse your request especially if you persuade and seduce him."

She pinched her husband.

"Including you, brother?" Jiu Shan nodded.

"I am always helpless when faced with your beauty" He whispered as his tongue tickled his wife's ear. "Zsu Mei, do that, you persuade him, do it before this war happens, the sooner the better. If Sima Yi has promised, she will definitely keep it and that means our child's safety is guaranteed."

"What do you mean, Brother?" In Zsu's heart, Mei guessed whether her husband had known about his affair with Sima Yi all along.

"For the sake of our son, do it Zsu Mei, persuade and persuade him to promise to help Jiu Cien should we lose the war or if we both die on the battlefield. At that time he had to return to the palace and save Jiu Cien even though for that he had to run away from the battlefield." He was still holding his wife, hiding his face around her neck.

Zsu Mei gasped. Her heart blossomed gaining the opportunity, but she pretended. "But I was just persuading, talking to him, nothing more than that, brother. Even so it took me a day or two to persuade him. And not necessarily I'll make it."

"Sister, you're my husband, only to you I serve and my body's soul belongs to you. Sima Yi belongs to the past, but Jiu Shan and Jiu Cien are my future. I love you so much, Jiu Shan," he whispered half hissing. Zsu Mei felt she really loved her husband. But inwardly, he could not deny that he also loved Sima Yi.

They're still hugging. Then Jiu Shan stretched his body, looking at his wife's beautiful face. He kissed Zsu Mei's lips. He never knew, this morning the mouth was crushed all out by Sima Yi.

In one of the rooms in the palace, Jiu Cien was looking at a thin sheet of leather bearing the script of ancient and Sanskrit letters. The room was lit by a wall torch.

A man in his thirties was watching. Cao Pi is a young man known as a physician and poison master. He was a court physician who became a confidant of Cao Tao, the younger brother of Emperor Cao Cao.

Cao Tao likes Jiu Cien because he thinks the boy has an amazing talent to be a great swordsman. That's why, he coached Jiu Cien. He even asked Cao Pi to train and prepare Jiu Cien to become a warrior who mastered literature, medicine, and even poison. As for science, the four of him Jiu Shan, Lu Xun and Sima Yi would educate him seriously.

"Jiu Cien, this is an ancient script that people used in ancient times, about a thousand years later. You need to know all this, surely one day this literary science will be useful to you." Cao Pi is not tired of giving clues. The man stroked Jiu Cien's head. "I've been educating you for two years, you've actually graduated. Tomorrow I may no longer need to accompany you. You are good at reading writing, understanding literature, mastering the science of the devil and most importantly, your blood now has the power to resist all kinds of poisons. You are immune to poison. There may be some kind of poison that can break through your body's endurance, but not by much."

The Golden Dragon Party is a great college. It has been a hereditary tradition since the forerunner of Zhang He founded the college in the days of the previous king, the Golden Dragon Party always sent his students to serve the palace. In some instances, these Golden Dragon Party disciples became unofficial royal retainers who were at all times ready to defend the palace from outside threats.

The land of the Golden Dragon Party was quite vast. In the short jungle of the central plains, the Golden Dragon Party was ranked as the most influential and respected college of people. The students who studied at the college reached one hundred and fifty. Some of them served in the Wei Royal court. In the hot burning situation and the war was already resonating before the eyes, around fifty disciples of the Golden Dragon Party were in the palace. Ready to defend the palace. Some others still live in college but are ready to go to defend the kingdom.

Late in the evening the Golden Dragon Party leader, Xiahou Dun, sat down with his younger brother, Wei Hu. The two figures were almost the same age, around forties. Sitting before the two, a grandson disciple, Guo Jia who was Lu Xun's disciple. Guo Jia had not rested since noon. He cleaned his body and changed his clothes that were full of mud, then faced the two grandfathers of his teacher.

Guo Jia recounted the incident she experienced in the forest yesterday afternoon. Xiahou Dun thought for a moment, his forehead wrinkled. He then ordered Guo Jia to summon sixteen other disciples whose names were called one-on-one. They were all the toughest students who were in college back then.
