It was a very dark night. The clouds were covering the moon as a black blanket, it was impossible to know if it was full or not, the only evidence is that without the silver night light, it was an horrible night. There was no guards pratrolling the walls of the castle of Xin Ye, but only someone who doesn't value life would stand there with this weather. A door opened in the largest tower and a cloaked man began walking on the castle walls. But after a few seconds, the door reopened and a man came running after the other.
Second man: Sir! Please! Don't leave us! Our kingdom still needs you!
Cloaked man: You must be kidding... Your pitiful kingdom is falling apart. It would never have been this worse if you would have had at least half the skills of your father. After loosing battles accross the lands, you suffered from internal problems. The only reason that this capital is still holding is because I decided it would. But now I've had enough of you, I will go find someone worthy of my knowledge!
The man then continues to walk in the opposing direction of Sun Mao.
Sun Mao: Wait! What if I give you my kingdom! You could rule it to your desire!
Without turning back,the mysterious man answered the request.
Cloaked Man: If I would have wanted this land, I would have taken it already. Farewell, son of a noble man!
Before finishing his sentence, he jumped over the castle walls. It was so dark, that it looked as if the castle was flying for a man looking from the castle walls. After the departure of that person, the rain became more and more calm. More and more, until it became just a for as pure as milk...

Cheng Pu had heard about the mysterious man who had deserted the Wu ranks. The news had come at breakfast one morning.
Scout: Report, one of Wu's most powerful has deserted his kingdom.
Cheng: What is the name of thsi so-called fantastic warrior?
Scout: I have no idea, but I saw him walking through the fields of one of our provinces.
Cheng: Which Province?
Scout: Han Zhong sir.
Cheng: Prepare my steed and spear. I think I will pay a wisit to this cloaked man.
With that, Cheng Pu strode fro the room. As he left he whispered to himself, "We are quite short on warriors at the moment. Perhaps he could hired by us."
About 30 minutes later, Cheng Pu approached the stables and found his spear leaned against a wall near his favorite steed. He mounted, reached down to his spear and rode away.

Jian Yong sat in his study. The night was old and the stars were starting to dim.
The young Shu advisor was currently reading a very humorous letter from an officer of Shu, King Duosi.
Jian Yong: Hmm, King Duosi is quite the-
His sentence was cut short as a messanger burst through the door. The messanger's travelling cloak was torn and frayed in some places. He was breathless as he tried to speak.
Messanger: I-I...There's...
He keeled over, panting desparately for breath.
Jian Yong: Calm yourself! What is going on!
The messanger regained his composure.
Messanger: There have been reports of an extremely dangerous man leaving Wu territory.
Jian Yong rubbed his chin. He stood up and walked slowly to the messanger, his cloak swishing deftly behind him.
Jian Yong: What else do you know?
Messanger: Deng Ai, newly appointed ruler of Wei is after him! Lord Deng Ai will surely be killed!
Jian Yong stared into the messanger's pale, fearful face. He paced about the doorway for a minute or so and turned to the messanger.
Jian Yong: You may go.
The messanger looked throughly disappointed. He shuffled out of the room muttering under his breath. Jian Yong watched him walk down the long hall, and then returned to his desk. He pondered his thoughts. There had not been this much fear invoked in Jian Yong's heart for as long as he could remember.
Jian Yong: Deng Ai is a childhood friend of mine. He may be the enemy, but I cannot let him die to the hands of this man. I will go. Deng Ai must be stopped.
Jian Yong took his spear off of it's rack on the wall. As he headed for the stables, he could only hope that Deng Ai could be stopped before he was killed.

(OOC Comment: Deng, unless your messengers are stupid, there is no way I could be around Han Zhong. I was around Wan a little earlier. I am now around Luo Yang. Also, you are currently battling Lu Meng at Qiao, so you can't be in your castle at the same time.)
The golden sun was high, it was a beautiful day. The man was slowly walking on a small road on the outskirt of Luo Yang. He had a target in mind. Someone he wanted to meet as soon as he heard of the accomplishments of the man.

OOC: Matrixxa, I was going to recruit him, not fight him.
And fine. I'll RP as Cheng Pu.
Cheng Pu had just entered Han Zhong. When he looked around, everything seemed to be in order. He asked a gurd if he had seen a strange man walking the streets.
Guard: No, I have not seen any such man around here.
Cheng Pu: Thank you. Continue your patrol.
Cheng Pu then decided to head for Wan, where the man had last been. On the way he muttered to himself, "My guards are completely unreliable. They will be punished upon my arrival if Deng Ai allows it.
After 2 days of travel, he arrived at Wan Castle. He approached the gate, but at the sound of the horses hooves, the guards came running out, pleading for him to spare their lives.
Guard: Please, don't hurt us. If it iss the castle you want, then take it.
Cheng Pu: Why do you not fight? Are you that powerless without that man?
Guard: He was the only thing that had kept this kingdom together. Without him, we are falling apart.
Cheng Pu: When this man left, did he mention his destination? Or did you see the direction in which he headed?
Guard: He did not mention a specific place, but our leader, Sun Mao, saw him jump off of that wall over.
Cheng Pu: Thank you. I do not wish to harm you or your kingdom. however, I will also not stay to help.
With that, Cheng rode away back the way he had come in. If that was the direction he was headed, then there were only a few places he could be.
After a day and a half of travelling, Cheng finally caught a glimpse of a cloaked figure. He dismounted and srode forward toward the figure.
Cheng: May I ask your name.
Wei wishes to hire the cloaked figure! (KC: Edit this yourself)
(KC: Sorry, but SOE made his move already.)

(OCC: I'll just start from the end of your post.)

Cheng: May I ask your name.
The man was acting has if he was the only soul on this road. Walking foward, not even looking back at the one who tried to speak with him. It seemed on Cheng Pu's face that he was a little contriarated by his ignorance.
