Han Liong moved near the girl. He whispering something
Han Liong: Gobi Queen is a tarantula, i catched it in Gobi desert, i used it's poison to hunt animal.
But there is someone who wants it very much. His name is Han Liong, a crazy bastard who want to steal my Gobi queen. He is planning to give it to Li Jun hoping he can have a job here.
Han Liong looked around as if he fears that someone from his imagination hearing what he just said.
Han Liong: Don't trust him if he ever talk to you. What is your name little girl? Can i trust you?
Little Lady Xiao then said; "My name is Xiao."
"How did you catch one? I wanna know how~"
Little Lady Xiao asked; "Is it secret? Is it safe?"
"You can try to trust me, just have a little faith~"
Little Lady Xiao tilted her head and gave a smile
Looking at the man, idly wondering for a short while~
Little Lady Xiao then asked; "What is your name?"
"Are you hiding from Liong, is that why you came?"
Evolta
Without paying attention to the little girl the man keep talking to his imaginary opponent.
Han Liong: what did you say?
...ridiculous!! Why would you want to give it to that hairy eight legged creature maniac? No!!
As if there is someone trying to take his box, Han Liong moved to grab the box when he see a little girl peeking it
Han Lion: Watch out!! You don't want to be eaten by that Gobi Queen inside that box!
Little Lady Xiao gave a little "Eek!"
Just before she made the sneaky peek~
Little Lady Xiao covered with her arms and all
Trying to get up, yet stumbling like a ball~
Little Lady Xiao asked; "What gobi queen?"
Looking all around, there's nothing to be seen~
Little Lady Xiao raised her eyebrows in suspicion
Is he living in truth or is he living on fiction~?
Evolta
At the front of Li Jun's Audience hall, sit a man playing chess by himself.
Like a crazy man he laugh and shout out of angry. Beside him there is a wooden box with two holes at it's sides.
Han Liong: ha ha ha...checkmate!
i'm sorry it's not your lucky day. The thing in this box won't be yours
he talks like there is someone playing chess with him
Little Lady Xiao crept out from the side
Curiously smiling, not just for the ride~
Little Lady Xiao heard the man shouting checkmate!
Yet only two of them sitting, at the front of gate~
Little Lady Xiao gently scratched her cheek
Noticing a wooden box and gave a little peek~
Little Lady Xiao did wonder what was inside
Just as she said; "Where did your playmate hide?"
Little Lady Xiao saw the untidy prefect coming
Standing just beside and heard him asking~
Little Lady Xiao made introductions without ado
"Lord Li Jun of Yunnan, this is Ma Ryo of Chengdu~"
Little Lady Xiao said; "Sir Liu Dai found him at the gate."
"Bloody and unconscious, how he got there is a debate~"
Little Lady Xiao then added; "He do wishes to speak with you."
"Shall we prepare the rooms and a hot green tea for two?"
Little Lady Xiao's unit passed by with their laughter
Gossiping as usual, the early morning chatter~
Little Lady Xiao noticed a young guard waving
Puzzled and polite, she then waved back smiling~
Little Lady Xiao saw the guard make a frown
A letter in his hand, she then felt like a clown~
Little Lady Xiao came by, the whole unit in tow
Spoke gently with the guard, twenty men in a row~
Little Lady Xiao quickly skimmed the silent man's letter
And smiled as she nod, ended the speculations thereafter~
Little Lady Xiao bowed and said; "Good sir, you are expected."
"Welcome, welcome, do come with us to be properly escorted~"
Little Lady Xiao beckoned at the guards to make a good escort
"I will inform Lord Sheng of your arrival. This, I will report~"
Little Lady Xiao then sent a guard, for the Guardian of the North
Just as they made a wrong turn; "Oops, wrong way, abort, abort~"
Little Lady Xiao brought old silent Mao before a set of bronze doors
Stuffed animals all around, birds, tigers and what's that? oh, the boars~
Little Lady Xiao then did a gentle stop and made a little knock, knock
"Please wait here. I'll be back." her voice now echoing, "..back.. back~"
------
Meanwhile lo~..
Messenger Guard: "Guardian of the North, oh Guardian of the North~
Oh where are you please, I have something to report~"
See Wichai
Liu Dai was about to kiss the man on his lips to give him the breath of life, suddenly the man stood up proclaiming he is fine by now. Liu Dai was suprised and somehow..... sad that he did not manage to give him the mouth to mouth first aid.
jiangbao
He signalled the guard to look for his brother
Little Lady Xiao came back running empty handed
Unable to find Lady Sun, and now she's dumbfounded~
Little Lady Xiao gaped her mouth in shock and surprise
A witness to an act of great love, that made her bile rise~
Little Lady Xiao then heard Lord Li An's quick instructions
To find his brother, perhaps to continue some discussions~
Little Lady Xiao can hear her men still grinning, mumbling
Clapped her hands sharp, sent ten of them fetching, running~
Little Lady Xiao came with healers for some quick medication
Walking in with the other men, to relieve the boy's condition~
Little Lady Xiao bowed to Lord An, the prefect's second brother
And gently asked Liu Dai, some bandit information to gather~
Little Lady Xiao stopped by, one fine evening
Then noticed a young woman eating, crying~
Little Lady Xiao then wondered what's going on
For she felt something was really, awfully wrong~
Little Lady Xiao walked by and took a sit
Ordered a simple green tea and took a little sip~
Little Lady Xiao's thoughts wandered oh so silly
For her mind was now crafting, a fancy little story~
oh goodbye, oh hello
the little lady said so~
hello pork, hello rice
oh goodbye, slim figure
goodbye jeans, goodbye mirror
oh hello, new fat figure
oh goodbye, oh hello
the little lady cried so~
Little Lady Xiao was sitting down in her black pants
Murmuring as she watched, a long line of red ants~
Little Lady Xiao noticed the big angry soldiers
Bulky red and armed, guarding all ant workers~
Little Lady Xiao suddenly jumped like a kitten
Scratching at her feet, found it red and bitten~
Little Lady Xiao paused as an idea smiled unto her
Now standing as she mumbled; "intruder~ intruder~"
Little Lady Xiao happily skipped towards her room
Inside patterned walls, spring flowers in full bloom~
Little Lady Xiao then sat down, thinking oh so quiet
Munching at her snacks and forgot she was in a diet~
rotk maniac
Another peaceful day in Yun Nan...
Suddenly there is something bothering the guards on that city's north gate. They found a young man laying in front of the gate, he is unconsious and he is bleeding.
When the guards trying to help, he faintly speak
"please...i must see the prefect..."
See
Liu Dai motioned his men to carry him to a shelter near the gate. After which, he asked someone to call for lady Zhang Sun who are well versed in the art of healing. He spoke to the man, "I am Liu Dai, the gate commander. Stay calm, we had sent for a healer. What had happened to you and the purpose of meeting the Prefect?"
[thegrandmystic will reply to you shortly. But please response to the gate commander's question]
Little Lady Xiao nodded at the message delivered in haste
A man was found unconscious, bleeding in front of the gate~
Little Lady Xiao towed twenty armed guards from the north
Searching, finding, to serve as lady Zhang Sun's main escort~
Little Lady Xiao sat upon a patch of green grass
Singing to herself and letting her time just pass~
Little Lady Xiao gently poked a leaf of bamboo
Began talking to it, just because she wanted to~...
Xiao Xue's Honesty Lo~
will i ever be able to finally see?
beyond words, meaningless and empty~?
to put sense to all the rhymes i make
a path to which i so desire to take~
a thing that started when i was five
a gift, a curse, an idea.. kept alive~
a call for help for those who can hear
please come.. come and help me here..~
what to do, i wanna know, i wanna know
never wanting to see it die and just let go~
to be only able to play words like a ball
a form, a body, yet one without soul~..
flowers of hope that never die
barely alive, yet i really try~
every letter written down with love and care
a little part of this from me to you i share~
oh how i love the beauty of the written word
so i guess ill stay walking down my own road~
and as i say these words, i shed a tear
these odd fleeting moments, i keep it here..
Little Lady Xiao says; "Xiexie, sayonara, bye bye."
Shrugged her little shoulders and heaved a sigh~
Little Lady Xiao looked once again down below
Frowned at little at them for not saying hello"~

Lu Pei was enchanted by the rich melodic voice. He was going to enjoy working with this woman - for a bit at least. He couldn't help but reply in a similar tones.
I'll use my sword, you use your eyes
My weapons are warriors, yours are spies
But work is a task to be started tomorrow
Tonight we shall sing without any sorrow
He looked around seeing everyone enjoying themselves.
Li Jun has been so kind
Tonight we should unwind
Please O sweet one, let me find you a drink
we can raise our glasses and let them, clink, clink
((Sorry for my lack in poetry skills))
Little Lady Xiao softly smiled with appraising quiet
For Pei, speaking in rhymes; a lieutenant poet~?
Little Lady Xiao clapped with the people rejoicing
For Pei, her comrade lieutenant; a poet in hiding~?
Little Lady Xiao then said "Now its time to parteh!"
"Come lets dance, what better way to start, eh~?"
Little Lady Xiao rocked her head, now she's ragin'
Waved up her hands, great body dancing engine~
Little Lady Xiao's dancin' feet stomped up to the beat
Clapped as she turned round, round and then repeat~
Little Lady Xiao smiled and laughed a cheerful tone
Then she gave a walking handstand saying "Bring it on~"
OOC: guhaha my stupud poems lo~ *@&#*(@&
Little Lady Xiao was playing at the gates, right on the top
Holding a big white kite, newly purchased from a shop~
Little Lady Xiao wanted it to fly up, up and very high
To soar along the fluffy clouds, she daydreamed with a sigh~
Little Lady Xiao then heard a voice booming out loud
A mighty voice striking, like a thunder from a cloud~
Little Lady Xiao almost dropped the kite with a squeak
Clutching her heart jumping, drumming a frenzy beat
Little Lady Xiao heard the guards talking and mumbling
For right in front of the gates were two men waiting, standing~
Little Lady Xiao then puzzled, she looked down below
And said a little "Hi, who are you, and hello?"~

“Xiao Xue, please step forward. You will be appointed as the Lieutenant of the Crimson Phoenix Division (朱雀部) and taking care of the Hall of Justice (仁政廳). You will lead the Crimson Phoenixes in collating information and on counter-espionage matters." A scroll of appointment was handed to her.
kingpin
Lu Pei was honoured at receiving his seal of office. It was not the captaincy he wanted but no doubt that and more would follow in the years to come. He would have to get to know his fellow Lieutenant, Xiao Xue. He never liked working with women as few had the competance to complete their jobs to an acceptable degree. Yet this one was pretty enough. She must be kept away from the men who didn't need them distracted by unatainable women. Perhaps he should introduce himself.
He wandered over to Xiao Xue. "Congratulations on your appointment Lady Xiao," Lu said bowing his head. "It appears you and I will be working together from here on. I look forward to your company."
Lu looked at her. She was a young girl perhaps half his age. She had a thin figure and quick eye that hid something dangerous and perhaps deadly. Lu pei was intrigued.
Little Lady Xiao walked away from the thick of the crowd
All of them clapping, singing, and rejoicing out loud~
Little Lady Xiao gently took the scroll with a honored bow
Laughing as she did, savoring the moment called now~
Little Lady Xiao turned, oddly feeling this was important
And the smile on her face, was both clear and triumphant~
Little Lady Xiao quickly left and tried to avoid attention
For now she was Lieutenant; Crimson Phoenix Division~
Little Lady Xiao moved in the hubbub of various accents
Silently directing, nodding at their hidden secret agents~
Little Lady Xiao then noticed Lieutenant Lu Pei speaking
Bowing in return; "A pleasure to meet, lets start working"~

The full moon soars into the night sky
The cold wind blows snow and ice
In the garden, no flowers bloom
The scholar in the prime of his life watches
The beauty scenery allows one to forget
The myriad chaos within the world of man
Alone, I ponder the world
I wonder where is there shelter?

Zo heard of an area in which scholars convened to discuss anything from philosophy to politics. He found interest in such ideological pursuits. He arrived on a very pristine night, and heard the lines of a pome recited. "Interesting poem." Zo remarked, from the back of the man "I suppose I found my refuge in meditation and religion." He paused, as he moved in front of the man and bowed, "I am Zo. Have you too come here for scholarly discussion? Your poem would suggest so."
Little Lady Xiao heard the soft voice speaking
A sad poem from a scholar's heart crying~
Little Lady Xiao was hidden from above
Up in a tree and nestled like a dove~
Little Lady Xiao heard one speak of religion
And something about, a bit of meditation~
Little Lady Xiao expected to hear some debate
Quietly listened along as the night gets late~[ Topic Entered ]

[Li Jun was standing by listening
So happy that the lady giving her service
He walked over to give her a hug
And subse......... @&#@*#&^@&^#]
Rephrased
Li Jun was standing nearby somewhere when he heard the lady agreed to assist him in rebuilding Yunnan. He broke all manners of courtesy and protocols, he walked and thank Lady Xiao profusely, "I am Li Jun and I am so glad you decided to assist me. Thank you so much Lady Xiao!" Li Jun uses his sleeves to wipe his tears of joy away.
[YEAH~~~ Welcome Green! Please post your OI please in the officer's OI thread]
Little Lady Xiao almost stumbled in her seat
For coming out of nowhere, was quite a feat~
Little Lady Xiao quickly regained her composure
Only to find the prefect's face, now filled with moisture~
Little Lady Xiao says; "Prefect Li Jun, please do not cry."
"I'll try to help with what I can and so, I will try."
Little Lady Xiao then lowered down her head.
Already thinking now, of the complications ahead~
Little Lady Xiao's own sources, knew a thing or two
Of the living horrors out there, can be scary true~
Little Lady Xiao said; "People suffer while we sit.."
And then she mumbled meekly; "Oh, can you do it?"~
LDW
The scroll had the words inscribed in detail,
all the benefits which joining the Yun Nan force entailed
There is good pay, ranks, riches and protection offered,
and a note which says to put in anything else preferred.
There is freedom of speech, and protection from disgrace
There is equality of rights for man and woman of every race
"Here we will treasure your service and serve you as you serve
"Here you will gain everything you rightfully deserve."
"With all dear respect Lady Xiao," he added
"There is great danger in everyplace inhabited,
we only seek your loyalty, which we place highest among virtues
here we seek it, and when given, we give it back to you."
Little Lady Xiao laughed again, just like before
Having read an offer, she couldn't ask for more~
Little Lady Xiao could do nothing but agree
Finally a real chance, to set some hearts free~
Little Lady Xiao spoke; "Of loyalty and such, there is no problem."
"I only wish a guard or two, to work with in tandem~"
Little Lady Xiao added; "The safety my family, is all my heart's wish."
"Promise me that and nothing a task I cannot accomplish~"
Little Lady Xiao then gave a slight little pause
Keeping to herself, as if in eternal repose~
Little Lady Xiao tells; "I'll promise to tell you, friend from foe apart."
And the thief wonders now; "So, when can I start?"
LDW
Stern Marshal Peng shook his head in reply
"Though its better to have come with the sun up high"
A sigh escaped his lips, observations at full bloom
amidst the cold night air filling the room
"Would you like some tea, my dear?" he asked gallantly
"or perhaps some fruit to sate you if you're hungry"
because stern Marshal Peng would not downplay her long journey
troubling as it is that she arrived so quickly
"You must know why I asked you here," he began after a while
He took a long scroll from his neatly folded files
I'd like you to see what we have to offer you
that we may convince you to serve my brother Jun
Little Lady Xiao's smooth brows did slightly raise
Yet an expression on her face, there was no trace~
Little Lady Xiao spoke a little word of "Thank you."
"Yes, the travel has made me, a little parched too"~
Little Lady Xiao then gave a thought and pondered
Took sight of the scroll, what the marshal offered~
Little Lady Xiao was glad, it's straight to business.
Taking the offer; "Now let's see what this is.."~
a humble rhyme to say our little thank you
for all the big things and stuff that you do~
may simrtk last till three-oh-oh-one
the romance be told, time and again, to everyone~
LDW
The captain nodded, and led the way towards the depths
Making sure to caution the little lady's every step
The darkness may be intimidating and scary for little Lady Xiao
and so he determined to bring her to Peng's quarters then and now
The torches blazed with orange crackles against the walls,
upon which the history of the past beckon and call
The armors proudly in display seemed to clatter with their past
Making the humble guard move carefully but fast
Touching a great bronze door after an eternity of night,
he opened them, and what greeted was warm and bright
The young Marshal Li, on his desk at this late hour
thanked the guard and told him to close the door
"Welcome milady, to Yun Nan" he greeted with a stern smile,
"Surely you have crossed before you many a li and mile;
rest, and find comfort in our safe havens,
and let us then discuss why this0 road to us you have taken."
Little Lady Xiao looked at this way and that
Black eyes staring, observing, like a cat~
Little Lady Xiao took her passage rather slowly
Of the paths they walked, duly noted in memory~
Little Lady Xiao laughed and offered a greet
Bowing once again; "A pleasure to meet"~
Little Lady Xiao then stood on her ground
Can't help herself but start looking around~
Little Lady Xiao's mouth then mumbled simply
"Have I gone a long way? Oh, not really.."~
Little Lady Xiao suddenly felt her mind perturbed
"Im sorry, its quite late, I may have disturbed.."~
