Be Just or Be Dead

[Mint]

It was really... quite literally; the same where ever he went. No one was familiar with him nor recognized him as a soldier thus he simply walked in with the rest of the cities populous. His dual spears, one of his many unknown trademarks were all that could even slightly!...possibly!!....give him away as a fighter. Mint Yu had responded to the Order's commands with a simple "Wu isn't for me." The Order replied back with a simple "Go find another friggin army then." And with that little note in his mind Mint simply moved on to the next kingdom... Wei.

He wasn't the type to judge people, and didn't really care who he served as long as he got paid to fund the building of his own army. What the hell did Mint want an army? Simply put, he thought it'd be awesome to command a bunch of troops. He was apart of the Order after all, therefore being a silent force to be reckoned with throughout the land was his job. More or less concealing his identity was an even bigger job. So who accompanied Mint Yu to Wei's capital? His trustworthy twin swordsman body guard. The guy was dependable as long as Mint was there to protect him. And thus the guy walked around with his twin swords upon his back followed by Mint, and three of their archers. All of them looked like normal civilians aside from the weapons the twin swordsman had, and the spears Mint possessed. But none the less they blended in quite well. Weapons were far from unknown to the chaos which engulfed the land...

The five of them took a seat along a street where various trades were going on, and simply ate apples as they watched the main palace in the distance. Mint assumed the main palace equaled an audience hall which equaled the commander of Wei... but to him it seemed kind of dumb to have the audience hall in the main palace. It killed the purpose of precautions. Eh... Without thinking about it further he just took another bite from his apple as the five of them waited for an authority figure to pass by. Generals..troops...whoever they may be were always suspicious of people with weapons which was just want Mint needed.

After showing the relatively famous Yu Jin to the palace for a meeting with Mengde, the two guards; Re Sui, the younger, higher ranked man, and Huan Sheng, the older acolyte, continued their patrols. As usual, the bustle of the city was steady, farmers bringing the fruits of their labor to the market, merchants doing anything to make some gold, and craftsmen displaying their artworks for potential sale. It was a routine that Sui and Sheng had become quite accustomed to, and they both enjoyed their jobs, dealing with petty thieves here and there; but mostly, there was peace. There was peace for it was the city of Xu Chang, and Cao Cao was a man capable of keeping things under control.

As the two were strolling along at a somewhat relaxed pace, Sui turned and spoke to his friend and inquired, "You think something big's about to happen Sheng? I mean, first Li Dian and his entire family came to offer their services to Lord Cao, and now even Yu Jin has come seeking a place in Cao Cao's ranks. I'd say things are about to heat up." The older man, who wasn't much of a fan of words, turned his head slightly toward his superior and friend, and shrugged. "Eh, who can say? Either way, so long as this city is safe, I don't really care."

The two had been working together for a long time, and Sui always tried to get Sheng to talk more, to no avail. despite this, they had become close friends, a sense of comradeship that overcame the lack of words shared between them. Sui sighed at his friend's apparent disinterest on the subject, he was used to it, but he still wished that he could have an engaged conversation once in a while.

Sui was about to say something else, but Sheng cut him short, for once. "Sui, look at those men over there. I have never seen them before, and they are carrying weapons. I'd say it'd be best if we questioned them about their motives here." Sui, slightly stunned, managed to mutter, "Yeah... you're right, uhh, let's go then?" The guards walked briskly up to the men, apprehensive looks upon their faces. Sui spoke up, "Excuse me, but it seems that you are new to this city, or at least this part of it. May I ask what you require here? No disrespect meant, but your weapons and numbers cause some need for caution."

[Mint]

The one with two swords upon his back stood up as he tossed his apple aside. "The name is Mint Yu, and I'm here to see Cao Cao! Hehe... Got a problem with my weapons or my friends weapons then you'll have to answer to me buddy." He stood tall, far taller than the other four who remained sitting down eating away at their apples. He was a slender, tall, muscular man, but like a majority of Ruffians; would run if his life was coming close to an end, but at this very moment the guy had no worries. He knew he could take on these two guards, and if he couldn't the white haired one... the real Mint had his back.

Speaking of which, the real Mint remained sitting, but leaning over biting into his apple allowing his hair to leave his face a mystery to the two guards. His spears were at his left side within a reach no more than five inches, but he didn't plan on picking them up, heh. His all white clothes made him a major sore thumb among the group of five, but yet at the same time he seemed to fit in...

The three archers didn't bother to move or even acknowledge the guards. Everyone was in a lazy mood except for the twin swordsman who apparently felt like starting drama for no reason. u.u

Sui immediately became annoyed with the one talking. He may be a guard, but he wasn't a jackass, nor was he a fool. He did not appreciate it when people were unnecessarily aggressive for no reason. It only made them look foolish. But it was not Sui's job to inform others of their terrible manners, it was his job to keep the city peaceful. Sheng simply stood there, not showing any emotion, as usual. Though, he was extremely wary of the men, especially the stupid one that insisted on talking.

Sui cocked his eyebrow, not intentionally, but instinctively as he always did when he was annoyed or pissed off. "Uhh, well thanks for that extra little bit of information that I didn't need." The sarcasm and annoyance was apparent in his voice, he could not help it. He had no patience for unruly, uncouth barbarians. "...Anyway, if it is Cao Cao you seek, then why do you not go to the palace and request a meeting with him? That would certainly make sense, ya know. Just sayin'."

[Mint]

OOC: Gah, sorry Kyle. Been busy.

The twinswordsman looked at the guard curiously for a moment then balled up his fist and put it in the guy's face. "HEY!? You trying to mock me pal!? You got sum sort of a death wish don't ya?" It was obvious the twinswordsman intelligence was below par, and his understanding was quite limited. Mint had indeed chosen a horrible double... but this man would have to do for now.

The real Mint, the white haired one, stood. "Allow me to apologize for my friend. We decided to try some of Xu Chang's apples before proceeding towards the main palace. Would you mind escorting us there?" Mint possessed kind, and soft words unlike his double who thought it'd be cool to abuse power...eh. Pulling the tough act would get them nowhere, and for now enough was enough. Mint had finished his apple so it was time to pause thi situation before it manifested itself into something worse.

The archers stood up finally, and all five of them awaited the reponse of the guard who would still be kind enough to escort them or kind enough to put the so called leader in jail. Mint picked up his spears as he stood behind the twinswordsman who had now shut up completely. Understanding what the white haired one wanted to do. And that's make peace not war craft...errr.. war.
