Chapter 6: An enemy inside your Ally
2 years later after the battle of Fairthere, the Jia clan surrender all their land to the Zho Kingdom exchange for then to keep their ways of peace. I agreed and doing that many in my land claimed that I was evil, my father was evil and brother was evil. The more months came by the more fuel was put into the fire, and an enemy was growing inside my own kingdom. A rebellion grew against me for a different reason than to separate, they wanted my kingdom to fall to its knees. I was called many things like, wicked or evil tyrant. It's not true and it's time to deroot this madness and put out this rebellion, so I moved my Forces to Feing Province's capital Chi, to meet with Jia Liang and Jia Han,whom I have stationed there to guard. Jia Xi,Rose,Vincent,Diang Xi, Xiang Cao and myself all went but that day was a huge blow to our kingdoms morale. It went like this.....
We arrived to Chi and it was empty, not a soul to be found and I was getting worried."Let's hurry up and meet Jia Liang and Jia Han's forces"I said rubbing my horses mane. We have bring a small unit of 80 foot soldiers and 20 Calvary with us as we walk through the city.Jia Xi,was acting strange today more than ever. For the First time he was not talking about the surroundings"Jia Xi? What's wrong? You've been quiet lately" I spoke up as I startled him alittle."No Lord Zhoa Pi,I'll ensure you I'm fine" He answered not looking back at me. We enter the castle palace and the Doors shut behind us. Our troops began to panick and We tried to calm them down when I noticed Jia Xi starting to walk forward as I Dismounted my horse."This Castle is empty!" Diang Xi shouted out walking over to me voice bouncing off the walls."I think we should leave My lord, masters Jia Han and Jia Liang are not here"Vincent said. "No their here!"Jia Xi said continuing his path forward. He sounded guilty and like a tratior "Jia Xi,what's going on?"I shouted over to him as he reached the other side,"Lord Zhoa Pi, I'm so sorry, for the sake of my family. I must do this"He jumped up a ledge and pulled himself up. He pressed a button on the wall and the roar of water came rushing in. He had set us up into a trap, but luckily I survive the small flood and only lost minium trip lost. I coughed up the water struggling to breathe when Diang Xi came to help me up,"My Lord are you ok?" He asked limping over to me, holding his club."I'm fine are you ok?" I replied getting up and unsheathing my sword. Jia Xi jumped of the ledge and said "You still live Zhoa Pi, well our assassins will make sure you don't leave this room". He snapped his fingers and some men ran from the door way the water came from, and Jia Xi ran over towards them. "Kill Zhoa Pi! He must not live!" An assassin yelled before all of them ran towards me, Diang Xi stepped in my path and elbowed the closes one in his reach causing the others to fall back temporarily."You want my lord,you..."an arrow struck Diang Xi in the Chest can knocked him to his knee. "The rein of the Zho kingdom will end here, and I Jia Han will ensure it" Jia Han walked from the doorway behind the assassins. The remaining soldiers of my unit scurried over to help me and Diang Xi,"Diang Xi NO!" I shouted as I cradled him in my arms. After a few minutes of nothing happening Diang Xi died in my arms and I fought back the tears."You Dare stand in front of the Zho Kingdom, we will avenge Diang Xi! Jia Han come feel the power of the Zho Kingdoms might!" I said before charging me forces at the enemy. I quickly stabbed an assassin in the chest and elbowed another for a critical stun before unwedging my blade from his chest and cutting the stunned one chest. I was panting heavily before I noticed Jia Han locked in on me and firing a arrow. Xiang Cao jumped in the way and took the arrow in the arm,"Xiang Cao!" I shouted before charging towards Jia Han dodging his arrows, and slicing at him with my sword. I nipped part of his hair off before completely disarming him by breaking his bow and knocking him to his feet,"Get up!" I said picking him and cutting his throat killing him. Xiang Cao walked over to me patting the armor on his arm where the arrow hit him. A smile escaped my face as I knew he was okay,"Come on let's get out of here"I shouted."We can't leave the way we came" a soldier reported, I looked towards the way Jia Xi left and ran that way. "Zhoa Pi stop!"Vincent said blocking my path "I can't let you go first, Rose and I and our unit will go ahead and clear a path for you, while Xiang Cao falls back and protects our rear." Vincent said and I nodded. Vincent and a couple soldiers ran ahead while Rose ran over to me and hugged me" You stay safe Pi" Rose said before running ahead to catch up with the others. "Ok you eight with me" I said before running to keep pace and Xiang Cao's unit followed.
