The Assassin And The Bodyguard

The Decision

     Yunlan was bit confused on who to choose, if he choose Da quing he can come back to their kingdom, back in the arms of his family who wanted to marry him to someone he never love, but he would leave normally. But he have doubt that Shen Wei will let Da quing live if he choose him.

      And if he choose Shen Wei, he would live happily but without the protection of his family and friends. And he might never  see them ever again. As he suddenly let go of Da quing hand. "I'm sorry Da quing, you may leave now! I command it!" As Yunlan turned his back to Da quing and went to Shen Wei embrace. Da quing can't believe his childhood and best friend let go of his hand and turned his back on him, while he looked at Shen Wei who just smirk at him. As he caress Yunlan's shoulder and kiss his head. And the two went back to camp. "He has bewitched him." Da quing told himself. As he gritted his teeth. As they came back in their carriage. Yunlan cried to his shoulder. Shen Wei just embrace him, "Do you regret your decision?" Shen Wei ask. "No! If I come back there, I won't ever see you again and might be force to marry another. As he cling to his arms. Shen Wei smile on that, as he took something from his pocket, the bracelets that Yunlan had taken off when he was kidnapped and place it again in his wrist. "For now on you are mine!" As he lift Yunlan up and carried him back to his bed.

      As Da quing came back to his team he looked defeated and can't looked at them. "Da quing! Did you find him? Where is he?" They didn't know that some one is following them as he send a fire message to the General.

       As the General read the message he can't believe what just happened. He called a few of his army and Yunlan secound brother Yam. "Yam! Your brother has been bewitched by a man! I want you to retrieve him no matter what! Your an expert in crushing small tribe, aren't you? Obliterate everyone there! I want them to know no one crosses with the Zhao!" As his son bow to his father and left. Xin CI crushed the piece of paper and burned it in the fire place. "Yunlan you disappoint me!" He told himself. But he never know a servant heard everything and told what happened to prince Guo. He write a fire message and delivered it to Da quing.

     As Da quing and his team was about to leave a fire message was given to them. As Da quing read it, his eyes went wide. As he quickly ran back to the carriage of Yunlan without knocking back first as he opened.  "Leader we have an emergency!" He shout and saw the scene before him. Da quing went red and shout while Yunlan shriek as he tried to get Shen Wei off him. As Yezun and the others was awaken and also went inside the carriage to know what's the ruckus as they also we're shocked but not Yezun. "Way to go Gege!" He shout. His Gege was furious and order his men to get out! But Da quing shouted to them, "Your brother is coming Yunlan! Your brother Yam!" Yunlan eyes went wide. As he told to Shen Wei that they must leave. His brother Yam has no heart and will crush anyone on his way. He once went with him when he was younger to train. As his brother captured a village he obliterate everyone their even a child. Yunlan was shocked and remember his words. "Remember dear brother! Let no one escape! Destroy them all or they will kill you back!" As he laugh and slashed everyone of his enemy with one stroke of his sabre. A large sword with one swing it can slashed or chopped an enemies head.

      When the Assassin clan about to leave. "Da quing you must go back to our kingdom so you and our team might not get entangled in this fight! Go!" Yunlan command. First Da quing hesitate to leave his friend but as he look to his men he have no choice for they are only train to defend and retrieval and not for war. He have no choice but to leave Yunlan. "I'll come back for you, Yunlan! You know that?!" As Da quing left. "Your stupid friend knows I won't give you to him no matter what!" Shen Wei said furiously. Yunlan just kiss him on the cheek to calm his husband. "You know I won't let go of your hand." As they prepared to leave before Yunlan's brother come.

     In a minute or two as they journey toward the bank of the river, one of Shen Wei's men shout for they see a few armies coming their way. They hurriedly run farther away from them. As they disguise as merchants. Shen Wei order Yunlan to stay inside the carriage, so his brother might not seen him.

     But Shen Wei was surprised that some of the soldiers collided with them. As one of the soldiers approach them. "What's your cargo merchant?! We need to inspect it!" He ask. Shen Wei bow to him, we only sell garments and our wives are in our carriage. But one of the soldiers quickly check it luckily Yunlan was envelope with a blanket while surrounded by women. As one of the soldier ask why one of them is almost wrapped with a blanket. "She is sick! That why we wrapped her with a warm blanket!" One of the women said. As Yunlan cough non stop so the soldiers might not get near to him. The soldiers don't want to get sick. As he let the the groups go. But suddenly his leader Yam came with his soldiers. The soldier said he had already inspect it. But still he went inside the carriage and look to the women. Yunlan is sweating. His brother is very keen in seeing if something is wrong. While Shen Wei sign his men to ready for their blades. Yam laugh, "You have beautiful women here, can I have one of them?" He ask Shen Wei. "I'm sorry sir but all of them are already married. You can pick at the next carriage if you like?" Shen Wei said. As Yam sigh, "Too bad, I love pretty brown eyes like that women! She's just my type!" As he pointed to Yunlan. Yunlan swallowed hard as he look the other way. "Sir! She's my wife you can't have her!" Shen Wei said. "Look little man!" As he towered Shen Wei. "Just give me your wife and  I will spare your people, how's that for a bargain?!" Yam shout. The men of Shen Wei got tense. As Yezun ready his blade. While Yunlan about to comply with his brother. Shen Wei suddenly slashed him with his dagger but it only deflected by Yam huge sword. "You think you can fool me little man?! Do you not think that I don't know what my brother looks like?! We both have the same brown eyes!" As he shout to Shen Wei  and thrown him to his men. While Yam pulled Yunlan to him. Yunlan suddenly flipped him up. But he forgot that Yam is bigger than him. As his the one been lift up in one hand and accidentally his foot collide with Yam's belt. As he shout in pain. "Well hello there little brother! Is that how you greet your elder brother! Yunlan!" He angrily said. As Yezun suddenly graze  Yam with his blade on his arm to let go of Yunlan. Yunlan was thrown in carriage as Yam and his soldiers started to fight the assassins.

     Shen Wei suddenly help Yunlan up, "Get out of here quickly! Take the women to safety we will rendevous at the meeting place!" Yunlan was about to protest. Shen Wei suddenly shut him up with a kiss. As he called Yezun to accompany them and to drive their  carriage.  When Yam saw the carriage is leaving with his brother it made him furious as he thrown any man that comes his way even his soldiers. As he ride his horse toward them. Shen Wei suddenly ran after them as well as he tried to push Yam to his horse so he might out balance him. But Yam only took his foot as he easily thrown Shen Wei away from his horse. And as he catch the carriage. The women scream behind. Yunlan have no choice but to fight his brother. So he might let go of the carriage, as Yezun gave his blade to him. He faces his big brother, "So, do you want to dance my little brother remember who taught you that?!" As they both deflect each other sword. Yam had an advantage for his sword is much larger than him. As the sword easily thrown the small sword of Yunlan. Yunlan suddenly hold the upper bar of the carriage and kick his brother outside . All the women cheered for him. But they never knew that Yam's horse is waiting outside. As Yam got back to the horse and  pulled Yunlan injured foot. Yunlan suddenly shriek in pain as he  suddenly lost his footing. That made his brother yank Yunlan toward him. As he knock out the struggling Yunlan on the side of the neck. Yunlan suddenly black out. As Yam stop chasing the carriage for he have the prize he want as he called back his soldier and gallop toward the Emperor city.

     Minute pass as Shen Wei had lost half of his people. The carriage came back he looked puzzled, "Why did they came back? He quickly scan were Yunlan is. His brother took him back!" Yezun say.
