Think cross-country running, maybe scrap the running and replace it with a uncomfortable horse and limited rest time. Cross-country horse riding was quite literally what Xing Cai had endured. Her long ride to the gates of the aptly named Golden Horde was nothing pleasant, save the wind and the stillness of the night. Xing Cai used the many minutes and hours to reflect upon life and death, victory and defeat. As pathetically sentimental as that sounds, it was all that would keep her in a awake state. The young female warrior of Shu wanted to be alone, she was sick and tired of the city of Cheng Du, sick and tired of the constant duties, sick and tired of it all. She needed a break. For some reason, she saw Xi Liang as a ironically golden opportunity for a breath of fresh air.
Everything was gold this morning. The sun, the maple wood upon the trees, even the slight traces of dew upon the tips of the grass. There was something...eerie about this whole set up. The Golden Horde was aptly surrounded by pure golden beauty. Golden beauty in both physical and sentimental forms. Xing Cai could not help but admire at the still and quite of the land.
The maple coloured steed came to a steady trot, and then stop. As if switching to park and throwing the clutch. Xing Cai slowly brought her left leg over and jumped off on her right side. She was before the gates of Xi Liang. Leaving her weapon on the stallion, she moved forward. Bowing once to the guards, she spoke strongly and full of pride...that would change when she would come face to face with the Splendid.
"Morning. I am Xing Cai, daughter of Zhang Fei and warrior of the kingdom of Shu. I'm here by my own free will, I've come to meet Ma Chao the Splendid."

Xing Cai's perception of Xi Liang was correct and the land was golden in all aspects. The sun was shining its glorious rays upon the nicely kept fields. Upon the ramparts of the city were large golden banners with black dragon insignia upon them. They blew wildly in the winds which was symbolic of the ruler’s uncontrollable nature.
The people loved Ma Chao because he defended them for years, risking his life and that of his riders for their safety. He had all the makings of a hero and a notable family history as well.
However, the people also feared him. His power and unpredictable actions kept them in check but some in their hearts wished Ma Teng were still around. It was still not confirmed if the elder leader had fallen prey to Cao Mengde’s schemes. There was no doubt that Cao Cao saw Ma Teng as a threat due to his substantial following, so it could be true. The only way to find out would be if Cao stated it himself or someone witnessed it.
The two guards at the gate noticed the young woman from Shu approaching and then fixed their attire. It was not due to their elite training and discipline, but rather they thought she was pretty. Ma Chao had many ladies who wished to meet him and there was no way he could entertain them all. That meant……..
“Leftovers bro!”
The two exchanged a handshake before Xing Cai got to them and they listened closely as she announced herself.
“So yeah, did you hear that Ma Chao is on another rampage? Man, he can get crazy!” the guard said to his comrade, totally ignoring Cai.
“Yeah, as long as I can keep ducking him when he comes around I feel fine.”
Finally, after a few minutes of random blather and very long stares at Xing Cai’s chest region the two answered her.
“Ma Chao is not here so take a hike!”
If Xing Cai did not beat the guards face in by the time the gate opened behind them then Yan Xing would!
A swift left hook caught the soldier in the face as he looked back to see his superior. The shot sent him flying onto the ground where he rolled around in pain. Maybe he would learn his manners and the proper way to handle himself as a part of the powerful Golden Horde. Actually, he was not even part of the military as he was clearly not worthy. His duties were opening the gates and shoveling the horse shit in the stables.
“I apologize for the actions of these two. I assure you that the people that matter do not act in such a way to offend ladies or turn away visitors, especially from the Shu Kingdom” Yan Xing stated, giving another evil look to the other guard who was standing.
“My lord, Ma Chao, is not present in the city but I can accompany you to the guest houses if you wish. He should be returning over the next couple of days and in his absence you are welcome to tour the city.”
Xing Cai was waved forward and allowed to enter with her weapon.

(Heh, we used the same picture for our NPC's...Better incorporate it!)
Xing Cai's anger, something that was passed down to her from her father, began to steadily rise. Just the voices of these men were frustrating her. They sounded like typical alcohol ridden slags that only cared about money and sex. To Xing Cai, every word that came out of their mouth was like the squeaking of a pathetic sewer rat.
Just before Xing Cai could retaliate to their clearly googling looks, a man had struck the particularly dickheaded one. Now, this man looked almost exactly like Gao Jin. It struck Xing Cai quite hard, she narrowed her soft eyes as she took a look. The features were almost staggering, he looked like a younger, and more tenacious version of her 'older brother'. Regaining her composure, she silently bowed and followed Yan Xing into the city. As she directed her stallion towards the inner gates, she mumbled as she walked past the guards.
"Sewerage rats..."

"Hm.. I did not see him in Chang An... I wonder where he is... No matter. I can't think of that now... Hmm... I wonder where I am now"
The deep voice of the traveling warrior was not very loud, but it resounded far enough for it to be heard by the guards of the city of Xi Liang, letting them know of his approach. Soon the man dressed in all green, atop of a magnificently Red coated horse approached the gate and looked down at the gates. He looked down at the men who was gaurding the gate, from atop his horse, and ran his left hand through his long beard, as his right held his treasured polearm, the Green Dragon.
Before he spoke he looked at the walls of the city, seeing the golden banners flying and he immediately recognized where he was. So this is Xi Liang... I've travelled pretty far northward. He thought to himself as he stroked his beard again before speaking to the gaurds.
"Defenders of Xi Liang. I am Guan Yu of Shu. I have come here to check on a maiden who has recently been living here... will you allo wme access into this city so that I may speak with her?"

The guards could not believe that the famed Guan Yu was before them and like little girls they almost pissed themselves with excitement. One of them moved over toward Yu and started to pet Red Hare with his left hand while raising his right with a thumbs up to his friend. After a quick few camera flashes, where the guard was making different poses near the Bearded One, it was over and both went back to their business.
Immediately, the guards went from Guan Yu groupies back to straight up bad ass Golden Horde punk wannabe dominators. In these parts they worshipped the Xing Cai action figures, especially the accessories which included larger breasts and booty implant. Hell, if you ordered the Ma Chao one also there was a triple headed fun machine that came with them!
Anyway, the guards were wondering why Shu would send Guan Yu to retrieve Xing Cai. That had to be his reason for being there and the problem was that Cai was now Golden Horde. She was Ma Chao's girl and even though they had not banged yet, there would probably be a marriage in the near future.
"Lady Xing Cai, if that is who you are referring to, is now part of the Golden Horde. Master Guan Yu, if you are trying to take her from us I am afraid that Lord Ma Chao may have a major problem with that."
The guard looked to his comrade and cut his finger across his throat as if symbolizing Yu getting killed if trying to remove Xing Cai from Xi Liang.
"I heard he was really pissed about something too and was beating the crap out of a traitor in the square. If you hurry up, you may be able to catch him there. However, good luck big man" the guard said, waving toward the walls for another to open the gate from the other side. The Big Green Machine was let into Xi Liang.

Guan Yu stroked his beard as the camera was being flashed. I guess... everyone lives only once so... let them enjoy it... though.... this can not be a more than one time thing. Guan thought to himself as the men went back to their positions.
"The square eh? Do not worry. The rest of Shu does not know of me being here.. I had just wandered here from Chang An and when I saw the golden banners I thought to see my missed niece. Thank you for permitting me."
Guan said to the men as he nodded his head from atop of his Red Hare. The horse seemed to had enjoyed the pictures and had nearly taken the camera, if Guan hadn't jerked the reigns when he did.
