***********************
***After 'Cao-Ce', 'Jade-Phoenix', and 'Housekeeper-Lin'.. enter the 'county-seat' 'Qiao-Town' and walked to the 'public-square'..***
/povMC/
After the 'four-hour' long 'trudge'.. following a 'ox-cart' to the seat of the county.. we had finally arrived at the 'public-square'.. where I will have the 'head-servant' of my family Lin.. put up the 'sign-board' with the 'recruitment-notice' carved on its face..
"Alright I doubt these poor 'peons' can even read.. make sure you let people know what it says when they come Lin.. Jade!.. come fan me.. it's quite 'humid' today.. we still have a few hours till 'sun-down'.." I said ordering my demands..
"Yes!.. 'Eldest-Grandson'!.." I hear two replies of the same words coming from my followers mouths.. at the same time..
"Good!.. haha!.. come one!.. come all!.. man!.. young man!.. woman!.. young woman!.. come all!.. 'Cao-Clan' of 'Qiao-County' is recruiting!.. shelter will provided!.. meals will be provided!.. you will even recieve 'coin' for your service to my family!.. come all!.. while positions are still available!.." I shouted at the 'peasants' causing all hell to break lose.. I only wanted fifty but there was well over a hundred already crowding the 'public-square'.. rushing and shoving each other..
"'Bolt'!..Order!.. Order you fucking peasants!.. I might be 'five' but I'll 'gut' you like a fucking 'fish'!.. then I'll string your fucking 'dead-corpse' and hang you in a fucking tree!.. for the 'crows' to 'feast-upon' you!.. how will you ever face your ancestors!.. acting like dogs!.. I know you are hungry!.. but I tell you this moment!.. you do not have to be hungry ever again!.. you all pledge your 'loyalty' to my family!.. you will never 'regret' it!.. thats a 'promise' from the 'eldest-grandson' of the 'Cao-Clan' myself!.. now line up!.. have some fucking decency!.. do not shove those fucking children!.. you!.. I'll fucking eat your gods damned eyeballs right off your fucking face you harm a child in my fucking 'presence'!.." I screamed out at all of them.. throwing a sneaky 'Bolt-skill' out for good measure.. to shut them up..
"Yes!.. 'Eldest-grandson'!.." some of them shouted whilst all of them nodded their heads..
"Look!.. on these carts is 'pots' and fire-wood!.. theres corn and rice and even bran.. we will make porridge for everyone here.. this is what you have to look forward to tasting every day if you join the 'house-guards'.." I tell them all.. as 'house-keeper' Lin 'uncovers' the cloth material covering the 'ox-cart'..
"Men help move the pots and get fires set up for us to cook.. we will need fresh water from a clean-well!.. make sure it's fucking clean!.. or I'll toss you in the well my fucking self!.. no one ruins my cooking!.. let that be 'known'!.. but other than that Im easy to 'please'.. I'll tell you all about myself and what I'm hoping to achieve!.. whilst we are eating and taking down everyone's informations.." I tell them my orders as they all get to work making a temporary 'camp' in the 'public-square' of the 'county-seat'..
"It's the 'county-magistrate' and his men coming!.." I hear one of the 'peasants' say as i start hear shouts coming from the path leading into the rest of the town..
"What is going here!?.. what are you all doing!?.. is this rebellion?.." a fat older man dressed in 'official-robes' shouted asking..
"Magistrate!.. You honor us with your presence!.. I am the 'eldest-grandson' of the 'Cao-Clan'.. 'Cao-Song' is my Grandfather.. I am sorry for any inconvenience my 'recruitment' has caused you and your 'town's-people'.. I guarantee this is ordinary recruitment for 'clan-guards'.. no rebellion I assure you Magistrate!.." I said to answer the questions he had asked..
"You are 'Mengde's' 'eldest-son'.. ah yes!.. I remember now!.. wow so how many will you recruit?.. can you feed so many?.." the man said to ask..
"There will only be fifty recruited to be 'clan-guards' any others after fifty have been recruited will be assigned other positions within the 'Clan'.. such as farmer, 'wood-cutters', 'black-smiths', carpenters,.. 'cooks'.. positions like those.. I forgot to mention my given name is 'Cao-Ce'.. what is yours if you do not mind me asking. Magistrate?.."
"I am 'Pei-Tong'.. I am from the 'Pei-Clan' of Jingzhou.. It has been a long time since I've been home.. you are a very great speaker young 'eldest-grandson'.. you remind me much of your father 'Mengde'.. he is quite a 'poet' himself you know?.." he tells me his name then proceeds to ask if I knew 'Cao-Cao' was a 'poet'.. whilst I was thinking to myself in my head 'yea I know.. I know he probably fucks your wife too.. see ol' pops has a 'fetish' for fucking other men's wives you see.. 'historically' my father's fetish resulted in the death of my 'twin-brother' at the young age of 'twenty-years'.. also his most esteemed personal body-guard 'Dian-Wei' also lost his life protecting his 'liege-lord' at 'Wan-Castle'.. almost fifteen years from now.. if history would be the same but it won't.. not with me here.. it is known..
***********************
***After recruiting over fifty 'clan-guards' and the families that will follow them.. to return to the 'Cao-Estate***
/povMC/
After we had gathered the almost a hundred of 'reruits'.. and made it back finally to the 'Cao-Estate' just as soon as the sun was 'going-down'.. for the day to turn into evening..
"Get the recruits settled in.. then we shall go over the information and decide which 'jobs' to assign everyone on the 'morrow'.. with 'God-Speed' ol' Lin.. I thirst for sleep.. I miss my bed.. my ass hurts from riding this horse back home.. best gift I've recieved from someone not related to me at all.. haha! Isn't that right 'Sleipneir!'.. haha!.." I tell Lin to handle the peasants as I speak to my new all-black 'courser' 'war-steed'.. I named 'Sleipneir' after the 'All-Father's' 'stallion'..
