GENERAL'S LADY

CHAPTER 7

SHEN JIN: "[ CLEAR HER THROAT]  WHOSE RANK IS THE HIGHEST IN THIS CAMP?  TELL US, PANTHER HEAD. "

THE GUARD: " UH, IT'S... IT'S THE GENERAL. "

SHEN JIN: " WHAT DID I TELL YOU THAT DAY? "

THE GUARD: " THAT DAY ..."

CHU XIUMING: " YOUR EXCELLENCY,   YOUR RANK IS THE HIGHEST  HERE.   PLEASE DON'T EMBARRASS THEM. "

SHEN JIN :  " WHO'S THIS MAN? "

CHU XIUMING: " I'M CHU XIUMING, EARL OF YONGNING. "

SHEN JIN: " OH.  SO YOU ARE CHU XIUMING.   MY RANK SHOULD BE  HIGHER THAN YOURS? "

CHU XIUMING: " YES. "

SHEN JIN: " SINCE YOU KNEW I'M HIGHER THAN YOU ,   WHY DID YOU DISDAIN ME? "

 CHU XIUMING: " I DON'T KNOW WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT.  I'M NOT CLEVER ENOUGH.  PLEASE EXCUSE ME.  IF I DIDN'T TREAT YOU WELL .  "

SHEN JIN: " BY THE ORDER OF THE COURT,   I CAME HERE TO GUIDE YOU. IT WAS A LONG JOURNEY.  WHY HAVEN'T I GOTTEN A CUP OF TEA  UNTIL NOW? "

CHU XIUMING: " UNLIKE OTHER PLACES,   THIS CAMP DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH SUPPLIES. OUR DUTY IS TO PROTECT THE COUNTRY , AND WE DON'T  DESIRE A PLEASURE  LIFE.   THE DAILY MEAL  FOR US IS LIGHT PORRIDGE. "

SHEN JIN: " WHAT DO YOU MEAN LIGHT PORRIDGE?  THEN WHERE HAVE YOU SPENT THE PAY  EVERY YEAR? "

CHU XIUMING: " WE HADN'T RECIEVED THE PAY  FOR TWO YEARS.  TO SHARE THE COURT'S BURDEN,  OUR SOLDIERS HAVE  TO FARM  EVERYDAY BESIDES TRAINING.  WE HAVE BEEN  SUPPORTING OURSELVES. "

SHEN JIN: "[TO XIAO SU] YOU HAVE GONE TOO FAR ! "

XIAO SU: " NO POLITICS HERE. "

SHEN JIN: " WELL, I  FEEL PITY  FOR YOUR SUFFERS. I'LL HOLD A BANQUET  FOR THEM TODAY  TO REWARD THE SOLDIERS HARDWORK. "

CHU XIUMING: " NO.  THE SOLDIERS ARE  GETTING USED TO OUR MEALS. I'M AFRAID THEY WILL GET ILL  FOR OVEREATING. "

SHEN JIN: " HOW ABOUT DRINKING?  ISN;T IT ALL RIGHT FOR ME  TO DRINK WITH THE SOLDIERS? DON'T WORRY, I'LL PAY FOR ALL THE EXPENSES  TODAY,   NOT YOU. "

CHU XIUMING: " LIQUOR IS PROHIBITED. "

SHEN JIN: " ALL ARE PROHIBITED.  WHO DO YOU TAKE ME FOR?  ARE YOU SCORNING ME? "

CHU XIUMING : " I DARE NOT. "

SHEN JIN: " I THINK THERE'S NOTHING  YOU DARE  NOT TO DO !  YOU ARE ACTING AGAINST ME PURPOSFULLY!  I'LL DISMISS YOU FROM YOUR POST! DO YOU BELIEVE IT?  DO YOU BELIEVE IT?  YOU ARE BOLD ENOUGH! I'LL TAKE OFF YOUR ARMOUR NOW! "

WHEN SHE GOES EVERYBODY STOPS HER FROM DOING EXCEPT CHU XIUMING. 

SHEN JIN: " THIS CHU XIUMING IS REALLY A GENERAL!  IT'S FINE HE DIDN'T RESPECT ME BEFORE,   BUT I'M A SUPERVOISOR NOW.  AND HE SOESN'T CHANGE AT ALL!  MO. IT COULDN'T BE ENDED LIKE THIS! I'LL RETURN HIS FAVOR TEN TIMES BACK! I'LL SHOW HIM HOW WICKED A WOMAN CAN BE ! "

CUTIE PIE: " THAT IS REALLY ....NARROW MINDED. "

SHEN JIN: " CUT THE CRAP AND THINK!  CHU XIUMING MUST BE SUBDUED! "

XIAO SU: " IT SEEMS  YOU HAD ISSUES  WITH HIM  FOR A LONG TIME. "

SHEN JN: " ISSUES? IT'S HATRED!  LET ME ASK YOU  DO YOU KNOW THE WORDS IF YOU  ARE TOO DIFFERENT,   THEN IT'S BETTER  THAT YOU SEPERATE  AND GO ON  YOUR WAY? "

XIAO SU: " WHAT DO THEY MEAN? "

SHEN JIN: " THEN DO YOU KNOW THE WORDS  ALL WILL BE HAPPY IF SEPERATED?  HE MAY BE HAPPY NOW, BUT  NOT ME! "
