Simple and small place with a front yard spacious enough for practicing martial arts with several different types of weapons arranged neatly on the racks. A small living room with a square table for honoring guests. A small and cramped bedroom just for himself. Xiang Long lives alone. No attendants, no dogs. Xiang Long travels very often. If no one answers the door, he is away and it would be best to leave a message or letter, he is not illiterate!

"Why restore something that has shown not to work? What has the Han done? It steals from its people, it lets bandits run with impunity, it leaves the army weak and ineffective. We shall erase all that and more! We will combine western ideas and eastern ingenuity to create the greatest empire the world has ever seen. But it needs your help. Won't you join me to create this new era? |

"The western rule of law that is firm yet fair." The idea of a highway system, cris-crossing the country to for better transportation. Western architecture that has a unique design. Finally, an efficient military that has no equal to keep the country safe" |

"That sounds ideal. However, when a war breaks out, economy and manpower declines. How do you intend to build your infrastructure, your laws or even recovering from lost from war? How does the western ideas in military differs to that of our own?"

"The highways built ensure the army can react to outside threats quickly. They also make it easier for the merchants to travel just boosting the economy. The removal of the old guard and influx of new talents such as yourself with bring new ideas and increased loyalty. No longer will the generals sacrifice the country's needs for themselves. Manpower can be reserved by a show of force. A quick, fierce strike shows the surrounding enemies they are up against impossible odds. More likely to surrender or peace, thus reducing manpower loss" |

"Putting these aside since they can be only done when you have total control." Xiang Long raises an eyebrow "Does that mean you have the intention of claiming the throne for yourself?" |

" The nation needs a strong ruler. One who listens to his advisors, his generals, and his people. A ruler who is not blind to what is going on around him. Thus the Han dynasty will be destroyed, and the Eastern Empire replacing it. With me as emperor to guide the empire into the new era" |

Gold can't buy happiness? No, but it sure helps

Chung Mon had contacted a number of those adventurous few he had the pleasure to see that fateful day in the strange old tavern however he had not gotten the chance to talk to the elegant, wine swilling, warrior who sat observant in the corner. After much bribing, persuasions and motivation he had finally found the man, Xiang Long's, small cottage. During his travels he had heard this man was famed for his ability with a variety of weapons and the way he was a thoughtful and perceptive man - rare for a warrior, let alone a mercenary. *knock, knock, knock, knock* |

"I understand your points and your ambition but perhaps I would need some time to consider this carefully. It is a long road after all, if you allow me the chance, maybe I can join in one of your battles someday." Just then, the knock of the door came. "It seems that I have another visit today. If you would excuse me now. Please do write to me." Xiang Long walks Zhang Xing to the door where another man appeared, Xiang Long bows and greet "Greetings, I am Xiang Long. What can I help you with?" |
