Lords Agreement Chapter 1

Kee Woh-Su partly stood staring intently at a huge map. His hands planted to the far east and the far west of the map. His brow furrowed with deep calculation.

"I can smell your brains cooking, Lord. You have a plan, have you?"

"I think I do.

We will send an distraction out, riding fast, avoiding capture. Then, release the peasants to go out and fetch water as per our arrangement with Lord Dergrido. We have some friends that have sent word through secret means. Place a good spy in disguise to pass the letter to someone that will be in the water. Be discreet. The distraction will only work to pull some of the eyes away."

The Lord of this City, Kee Woh-Su, stated in addition to the instructions given below, "Make sure the riders are good horsemen. Loyal. But they must appear to be runaways. Lots of people have tried, as the seize as gone on, to escape. We will use this to our advantage."

"Someone is meeting us at the water, my lord?", asked the Captain of the Guard.

"Yes.", Kee said with a hint of smugness.

"We have some friends, Jun Gwai-khan. Friends we had been waiting for. Don't give it away."

Despite Jun's pure ecstasy permeating his being at the sound of good news, he kept his military bearing. And carried out his lord's orders as best as he could, and Jun Gwai-Khan was good at his job.

Blood Jive was a sneaky yet unassuming fellow that Gwai-Khan felt was just right for the job of passing the message.

The three riders were chosen after talking to the Master of Horsemen that knew who the best riders were and the fastest, most agile horses.

The plan was coming together.

Soon, thought General Jun Gwai-Khan, we shall be free of this seige allowing us to attack the emperor openly. Our people will be the ones calling the shots in this empire. Soon, he thought to himself with some satisfaction amd some caution. Soon.
