139 TOURNAMENT {I}

By the time the steamed buns arrived the empress had lost her appetite. "It took you so long to make just ten of it? I don't want them anymore, I want..." She seemed to think. "I want dumplings, make sure it's yummy!" Once the command reached the head maid's ears she went to quickly get started.

Meanwhile as all these was going on, Ruqin had knocked four guards down. She twirled the wooden sword in her right hand and used her left to beckon on more guards. Two went forward ready to attack, but Ruqin made a flip into the air and attacked them from behind. They were moments shocked, then fell to the ground with a big thud. She looked up to see Master Su glaring at her, his jaws clenched and unclenched with anger.
