Chapter 8: Chase For Zho Zhu
After escaping Chi, The entire Zho kingdom cried for revenge by hanging this woman we have captured. Her name in Xia Zhang, and woah she was a feisty one. She didn't like the idea of surrendering to us at all and denied anyone's help on ambushing us. "Xia Zhang" I said "Who put you up to this?" I asked in the interrogation room. She frowned at the very sight of me and turned her nose up, I laughed and continued "I've heard tremendous things about you.. Zho..."."Zho Zhu? He eat me out didn't he?!" She cut me off and flipped her chair backwards onto the floor. I order to pick her up and said "I was going to say Zhoa Fei was my father, but since you said Zho Zhu please explain". She stuck her tongue out at me and frowned again,"I ain't talking to you or your pathetic Zho kingdom losers". I smiled and sat in the chair in front of the table,"Really Zho Zhu, has been funding your rebellion against us, a woman of your level could never raise an army of your current level... He has sent you troops and in return you tried to kill me and instead killed my friend Diang Xi" I said placing a knife on the table. "Untie her" I ordered as the guards did. She looked at me puzzled and felt her wrists "what are you doing?!" She said looking back and forward between the knife and me. "Zho Zhu wants me dead so I'm going to let you do it" I closed my eyes and heard my guards gasp. I reopened my eyes to find the knife positioned against my throat "I outta kill you, but I wouldn't be alive to lead my rebellion" She said putting my knife in her pocket. "You are right l.., if you would die right now who would lead your rebellion? Zho Zhu would! He would claim responsibility of my death also taking all your credit." I said. She grabbed my neck and gave me a stern look"That's a lie! My partner would lead the rebellion he will continue!"."No after hearing that you died in the hands of the Zho Kingdom, all your hard work would be for nothing, as he would surrender to us" . She released my neck and flopped into her chair crossing her arms. "You Zhoa's think you're so smart, but in reality tell your citizens about Zhoa Yang!" She yelled smiling. "Really Zhoa Yang, technically is just a memory and a traitor like yourself" I said responding to her insulting tone. "But traitors do exist for a purpose..." I stood up and wielding my sword "Where is Zho Zhu!". She frowned again and stood up, "Just kill me, you're to annoying for my taste Zhoa, find him yourself". Very gutsy she was, no wonder those rebels followed her. She was annoying, disrespectful and careless but I still found myself attracted to her. That was a bad thing, I was falling for the enemy... A woman who tried to kill me, but didn't for some reason, she had to chances to do it but she didn't take either. I spread a map on the table and made her watch as I circled Ji Fi, a native city outside Han Province. I learned how to read body language when I was younger and I could tell she's connected to that city somehow. "What's wrong Xia Zhang? Afraid of something I teased" I teased sitting back down. She said nothing and looked away from the map, "Guard.. Tell Vincent to head down to Ji Fi and bring me everyone there head. Spare no one!" I said and she shouted in denial. " No please, my younger sisters lives there! I'll talk!". He stopped and I nodded as he got back into position. "Zho Zhu and I we're suppose to meet at his capital city SuLu next week... He's there waiting for my news" she starting sobbing. "Your not so tough now are you?" I said walking out the room as the guards followed. "Okay... You two make sure she stays here don't let anyone in without my permission got it?" I said before walking outside to my palace.
