"Stay your hands!" Jiang Wei bellowed, taking off at a full sprint from beside the throne where he stood. Breaking through the loose circle of hesitant men that was beginning to form, Jiang Wei spitted the minister with a cold stare.
"This man has entered the city as a messenger, he delivered his message and now must be allowed to leave. Any who defy this order will be bought to trial and executed." There was no mistaking the deadly edge in his voice. If they assaulted Wei Yan, they only proved themselves to be worthy of his ire, of his spite.
"Master Wei Yan... have a safe journey to your new home."

The Minister gritted his teeth and spoke loudly in an angered,but respectful tone.
"Prime Minister! He insulted and angered our lord! He must be made to pay! No matter who he is! We are lucky that Master Guan or Master Zhang are not here or he would be dead already!"
The Guards did not lower their weapons,they merely waited and watched the exchange.

"So you attack him and turn us into the very fools that he has proclaimed us to be. You assault him and lord Liu Bei earns nothing but mistrust and anger from the other feudal lords of the land from this day forward or worse, if Wei Yan is in the employ of another, you will be responsible for bringing war to this kingdom. Are you prepared to be held accountable for that minister?"
In a single, fluid motion, Jiang Wei produced his spear and pointed it at the minister.
"You may believe you are ready, that what you have seen is enough, but I as the Strategist do not have that luxury. Masters Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are not here at this time, Jiang Wei is and since my word carries the weight of authority, you will concede and allow him to pass or I will lead you away in chains myself."

The Minister stared at Jiang Wei for a moment before waving off the guards.He then turned to Wei Yan and snarled out words that he would make good on.
"If you EVER disrespect my lord again i WILL kill you! That is a promise!"
With that said,the Minister turned on his heel and walked away.The Guards however,did not.They would not leave Jiang Wei alone with Wei Yan.

It was a bitter compromise, but one he was forced to accept. I will have to work on this authority thing... but then I cannot truly fault them too much. His words demand an answer... but it is an answer we must not give.
"As I said earlier, Master Wei Yan, have a safe journey. Perhaps the next time we meet, I just may agree to that offer you made to me."

A cold stare fell to all the remaining guards, of the 36, 8 lay dead at the Beast's feet. You couldn't except a man of Wei Yan's Caliber to just stand there and watch as he was attacked. He'd been knicked once atop the shoulder, and that small trail of blood was moving down along his collar by now. Raising a hand to it, the warrior touched the trail lightly then took a look at the blood. A sigh left his lips as the two ministers of Shu bickered. Nodding to the ill of mind minister that had attacked him with guards, he sighed.
"Kill me? You never even drew your blade, you will never kill me. Your men are all you can rely on, and," he paused looking down at the dead at his feet, "Even they fail to stand up to The Beast of Chang An. Practice your blade and I will give you that chance whenever you wish, child."
He'd never raised his voice. He'd never got angry. He merely was honest. Then he heard the voice of Jiang Wei again. Am I wrong about this man? Who is this mind? Rai, bring your shield to him. Let him live to speak to me again, thought the warrior as he stared at Wei in disbelief.
"Thank you, Master Jiang Wei. I believe I will talk to you again. It is something that I feel I must do. Heaven's be with you while you remain here in Shu, for I don't think they deserve your talents. If you are to come to T'se lands. Make sure to find me. It'll be good to see you again. A shield always be with you." stated the warrior slowly, before nodding again with respect and walking out of the Palace, out of Cheng Du, out of Shu's grasp.
