[ "impossible - the marquis of rorder was exterminating bandits in the northwest! how could--"
you cut that statement off, shaking your head, pityingly, bitingly sarcastic when you speak. mocking. ] If you're going to attempt to rebel, you should read more. Have you not heard of the Eagles in the East?
[ you are, of course, lying out of your ass.
but it doesn't matter, because your plan is perfectly in place. there's a scream from outside, and panic rings through the smuggling ship. "Black Eagles! There are Black Eagles!"
huang qiao's face turns to yours, again. panic crosses his face. "How can there be Black Iron Camp soldiers and the Marquis of Order in the Eastern Sea?! Impossible! Shoot the arrows! Use the Baihong arrows to shoot down these fakes!"
you tilt your head back - a man in black armor flies just over huang qiao's head, dropping a rain of arrows that fall onto the deck. he whips around to look, and then back at you, and you smile, further, fingers wrapping around the dagger in your hands.
"So- so what, even if Gu Yun is here, what could he possibly do?! I don't believe he could bring the entire Black Iron Camp from the desert! Kill him! Who else does this dog emperor rely on?! Come on!"
at once, every private soldier and traitor in the room draws their weapons. chang geng steps closer to you, but not a single one of them is brave enough to rush you.
you stride forward, unharmed, untouched, towards huang qiao. ] If I recall correctly, your teacher, isn't he an uncle of Wei Wang, of the palace? Why, that year when the former Emperor passed away, he wasn't able to use the imperial guards to start a rebellion. Is he trying to use the sea route, instead?
[ you've uncovered an entire conspiracy, and huang qiao knows it. the look in his eyes is desperate, a trapped, cornered animal. he screams, at the top of his lungs, and launches himself in front of you, as chang geng meets him there, steps out from behind your back and blocks his strike with his own sword. six iron puppets - robot like statues - screech to life around the room, armed, dangerous, descend, and the cabin descends into utter chaos.
and you are unflappable, unstoppable, a whirl of silk and dark hair, as you disarm weapon after weapon, dong ying dagger in your hand, chang geng at your back.
you are the demon black crow - the head of the black iron camp. the marquis of order. great defender of great liang, and your reputation proceeds you.
and today, you and the rest of your allies on this ship, are unbelievably lucky it did. ]
