The empress of war (Lu Xun x Reader x Guo Jia)

Chapter 8: A little whim

Note: It was planning to be a story with only 10 chapters but because I cannot find a way to end the story in the chapter 10 and with the addition of that mysterious new character, the history will continue a little more.

While (y/n) was returning whit Guo Jia, she managed to see at the distance, a boy walking cautiously at the forest. He has brown hair and was dressed with red clothes.

'A Wu officer here? What's Sun Quan thinking to send an officer alone to Wei's territory?' She though stopping the horse and go to follow that officer —can you please wait here, nii-san? I want to check out something— she said before leaving the horse close to a tree. With extreme silence she approached to the Wu officer and for her surprise that officer from Wu was Lu Xun. 'Why is he doing here?'

—Oh~ what's a Wu officer doing here alone? Are you lost, little swallow? —she teased him taking the advantage that she was dressing like a man but what she really wanted to know were his reasons to be here, in a place so away from Wu kingdom. —Did your Lord finally lost his mind and send you here to die? —

Lu Xun stared at the Wei general in front of him. Who was he? Is he a new member of Wei's main army? He must be because Lu Xun never seen him in battle.

—No. I'm here on my own, my lord now considers me as a traitor. I you are here to kill me, then do it. I don't care anymore— He replied. (y/n) noticed that Lu Xun wasn't carrying his swallow swords but if the strategist doesn't care about his life anymore then she can take him to Wei as a prisoner, right?

—I won't kill you. Instead, I have plans with you— she smiled and pointed her sword towards the disarmed man— will you come by your own or I need to force you? —Lu Xun was confused by that officer attitude but if he is thinking in take him to Wei, maybe he can see (y/n) again in case that she returned to her real kingdom.

—Fine. I will go with you...—Lu Xun totally surrendered and walked to Xun Yu who tied his hands behind his back and began to pull him to where she left the horse previously. When she returned, Guo Jia stared at her with a curious look but if she takes her time capturing that officer from Wu, she must have a reason so he avoided asking her. (y/n) loaded Lu Xun behind Kirin like a loading bag and ordered the horse to return to Wei without her.

—What are you doing? How are you planning to return? —Guo Jia shouted at the distance.

—Please don't worry about that, Guo Jia. I will wait the others and return with them so while I return, please lock Lu Xun in a cell...— because the horse was so fast, Gou Jia only managed to hear those words from her.

(y/n) waited a bit until the other finally decided to appear. At that moment, she had already released her hair and was now showing herself without all the makeup she used before. From all the three officers, she decided to ask Cao Pi.

—Can I return to the kingdom with you? Cao Pi...— she asked.

—Just call me nii-san like before— he commented extending his hand so that she can take it and get on the horse and resumed his way—If you don't want to takes Cao Jie identity again, I don't care. But can you keep acting like you used to do when you were still my sister? —she hugged him from behind and recharged her head on Cao Pi's back.

—Ok, but can you promise me to keep my return to Wei as a secret? I still don't want Cao Cao to know...—

—Well only if you promise to spend time with me too—

—It's a deal then...—

~Time skip~

When they returned Guo Jia was waiting for her in the entrance; he was surprised to see her with Cao Pi instead of Xiahou Dun but if she decided to do that, then she must have a reason. He approached to the horse and helped she descend from it.
