Mulan - Shan Yu Returns

Chapter 18: Forgiveness

Shan Yu assigned the five new soldiers to different rooms and sent the main five huns back into their own rooms. "In your assigned room, please make yourself at home," Shan Yu said as he left them to be in their room.

"Thank you," the five replied.

"Also, after the sundown, please do come to the dining hall for dinner," Shan Yu offered that was never going to happen. 

"You're so kind, you're majesty," the five thanked.

"But for now, rest," Shan Yu said. "It must've been a long journey for you people."

"How can I repay you?" The five asked.

"...Kindness..." Shan Yu replied and walked away. Thank you, your highnesses, Shan Yu thought. I learned how to trick people with respect.

The first one entered his room and out popped Mulan! Mulan, without waiting, quickly grabbed him and tied him so that he cannot move and Shang tied his mouth and body. The soldier was confused about what was going on, so he was not able to resist or do anything to fight back Mulan and Shang. "Sorry, but we're gonna have to capture you," Mulan said as she finished tying him up.

"And you'll have to stick around in a dungeon for a while," Shang said. 

********

The second one entered in a different room. In this room, Yao and Ling popped out from nowhere and captured the same way Mulan and Shang captured the first one. Yao took him down and Ling tied his mouth and body. Even though this one tried to resist, he was still not able to free himself or make a large sound. 

"MMMMMMMMMFFFF!" The tied-up soldier aggressively flapped himself like a fish out of water.

"Hold still," Yao said as he struck the side of his neck to make him faint.

"Straight to the dungeon with you," Ling said. 

********

The third one entered the room he was assigned to, and then there was Chien-Po. "This will be your room, sir. I hope you enjoy your stay," Chien-Po greeted him, pretending to be the servant who works at a palace.

"Why thank you," the soldier replied. As soon as he turned his back to Chien-Po, he struck the soldier's back of his neck and made him faint.

"I sincerely apologize, but this is a process of bringing China back into our hands," Chien-Po said as he tied the soldier, just like the previous ones. 

********

The fourth one entered his room, where the three princesses were waiting for them, or at least they were pretending to, as Chien-Po did. 

"Welcome to the room," Su said.

"We cleaned the room for you," Mei said. 

"And we have acupuncture service for you today," Ting-ting said.

"Oh? That's nice of you," the soldier replied.

"Now if you'll lie on your stomach," Mei said.

"Mind if I do," the soldier said. 

Before this, they received a lesson from Wang Wei on how to make people faint just by acupuncture. Because they are not able to fight, they needed to find a way so that they do not have to fight physically, because if they did, they would lose even if it is three versus one.

Just as she learned and planned, Mei stuck the needle at the right point and a few moments later, the soldier fainted. Mulan and Shang came in just in time and tied the soldier up.
