Lu Lingqi X reader

Your the important person in my life now

The rain pelting the war torn ground, the shouts of war from soldiers and her own heavy breathing as she flees. These are the three things a fleeing Lu Lingqi could hear and see as she flees into the darkness of the night from the combined armies of Liu Bei and Cao Cao.

By her father wishes, the young female warrior flees from the battle of Xipni leaving behind her childhood and the man and women who raised her. Riding hard from the Xu province and into the deep lands ruled by Cao Cao in her mind she knew she to escape, so that like her father she could one day become a warrior that men would fear.

However in her current position the daughter of Lu Bu could do nothing but keep running from her pursuers. As a wanted women she would never be able to rest until one of the lords of the land took her in or she became a warlord herself. A task that feels far beyond her reach as the loneliness and fear of the task ahead pulls the female warrior into a state of despair as she rides on through the countryside of China.

Meanwhile in a small village miles ahead of the fleeing women you awaken to another hard day of work as a farmer. Yes with no skill in weapons, but a small piece of land to your name. The life of a farmer suits you to the ground with many of your neighbours and officers of your lord agreeing with what skills you show.

For the hours of tilling give you a strong upper body making you a great labourer who can lift more then most people. Your time with plants has lead to you understand what is necessary for a bountiful harvest from your fields and your cooking is said to make even the most hungry traveller feel fit to burst.

It is these reasons why so many merchants pay a visit hoping to buy your healthy crops and why some of the officers of your lord Cao Cao come to visit you so often. One in particular being the large and happy man Xu Zhu, who comes to watch you work your fields, sometime helps and enjoy the soup which you present to him as a gift for gracing your fields with his presence.

“Wow you really are great at cooking Name. You know I bet even lord Cao Cao's servant girls couldn't match the taste and texture of your food” Xu Zhu comments happily before drinking the hot soup in the bowl your present before him.

You can only thank the bodyguard of Cao Cao for his kind words before offering him some more making the happy large man accept your kind offer. It is days like this that you make you glad to live in a province under the command of such a wise man like Cao Cao as not all your guests in the past came in peace to farm like yours. Luckily the officers in this wise man's army seem to respect the work of the people and simply did not disturb them unless necessary which could not be said about the young daughter of Lu Bu.

For hours later with your fields watered, your animals cared for and the departure of the large Xu Zhu. The evening sun rest upon the mountains behind your home giving you a beautiful view to enjoy outside your front door and the chance the wanted women needed to strike.

For having been hiding in the shadows the village building for hours, she had spent some of that time scouting out a place to get some food and rest. A place like your farm which lacked any defences and only a single man in her way. An easy target for the warrior who emerging from the shadows of your own home and creeps up behind you.

Weapon in her right hand and a determination within her chest burning like fire, you have no chance to react as suddenly a blade comes from behind dancing closely to your throat and a stern womanly voice orders you to go inside. You quickly do as your unknown attacker commands, opening your front door and stepping into your humble home along with your attacker behind you each step of the way.

Once inside you hear your attacker shut your own front door behind you both before pushing you forward with a mighty shove. Taking this opportunity you manage to turn yourself around on your heel to be greeted by the edge of blade of your attacker and her beautiful face.

Her yellow topaz like eyes glaring at you with determination and a stone like expression on her unblemished face.

“I require a place to stay and some food. Give me these things tonight and I will leave you alive to see tomorrows dawn” The young women tells you in her stern tone of voice making you in response bow before her like a servant to a lord. This is not the first time you'd be put in a position like this, after all living in a war ridden country you'd lost count of how many times bandits or invading forces forced you to given them food and shelter.

As such you do as the young female warriors asks calmly making your way into your kitchen with the eyes of your attacker watching your every moment. As you had already had dined a guest today all you had left in your cupboard is a few vegetable which you slice and peel before boiling them with water in an iron pot over a cooking fire which also severed to warm your wooden and straw home.

“Your food may take a few minutes. Would you care for something to drink?” You ask your guest seeing the young warrior still following you around with her weapon drawn and her eyes locked onto you as if you could strike at any time.

“No the food and shelter will be enough” She answers back sharply showing signs of being on edge as her weapon hand twitches and her ears wiggle a little at every noise. You take these signs into account deciding it be best to stay quiet and return to your cooking letting your uninvited guest slowly start to settle down.

Not a word is shared between you both and the young female warrior takes this time to look around your home. The ragged cloth curtains that hang over your small windows, the cold stone floor covered only with more ragged cloth and with what little furniture you have made of wooden that looks to be rotting.

It is not what she is used too being the daughter of a lord and seeing as her father never let her see how the peasants of his land lived, she could not help but start to feel sorry for you seeing the condition you had to live in even if you are the reason most people ate.

Still she does not air this view and instead continues to look over your home for the next few minutes before you come to her. Presenting your female guest a bowl of soup cupped between your two hands, you bow your head to the women making her with caution rest her weapon against one of the chairs in your front room closet at the time before taking the meal from you.

She blows gently on the steaming soup before guiding the bowl to her pale lips where she begins to drink the soup. From the silence between you both, all that could be heard is the young female warrior swallow the soup down mouth full by mouth full until she finishes with a smile gracing her face.

“Your soup is a delight to taste. Why I can feel it warms my tired bones and fills my stomach to the brim” The female warriors complements making you once again bow your head before thanking her for her all the while holding your hands out to take back the empty bowl from your guest.

She hands you back the empty with care before watching you calmly walk back to your kitchen to wash up the bowl.

'I am concerned. This farmer is being very acceptive of being made to make food and proved shelter for a stranger.' Lu Lingqi thought to herself watching as you take out a bucket fall of water from another cupboard before starting to wash the dirty dishes of the day.

'He maybe playing along to find a chance to report to his lord or to try to kill me when my back is turn. I must take caution in this situation.' The daughter of Lu Bu thinks to herself as picking up her weapon again she starts to wonder about your house once again peeking out the small windows and coming back to check on you.

Sadly after a few hours of this, the tired and full young women found it hard not to sleep. For taking a seat on one of your wooden chairs, her eye lids start to close on the young warrior. Not used to such a harsh living standard and with all the fear catching up to her from the last few days, she cannot help but slowly fall asleep in the chair. Her arms dangling off the arms of the chair and her head tilting to the left a little to rest her head on its back, most at this time would have sneaked out their house to report about the house invader to the local guards.

However seeing her like this and remembering that this young women did say she would leave tomorrow. You instead quietly cover her up with a spare cloth blanket you have before creeping to your bed to catch some sleep yourself as your own eyelids start to close on you and yawns escape your mouth.

Your sleep is undisturbed that night allowing you to awaken bright and early the next morning ready for a new day of work and to finally see the back of your unwanted guest. However after changing into your work clothes in your bedroom, you enter into the front room of your home to see the female warrior still snoozing away in the chair.

“Hmm I guess someone is not used to early mornings.” You says to yourself with a smile seeing your unwanted guest sleep sound fully in the chair like she was in her own home. Feeling it would be rotten to awaken such a peaceful sleeper as she breaths lightly in the chair, you instead leave your guest to sleep before staring to get to work on your fields with some more hoeing and watering.

Hours pass with your working hard on your growing crops making sure the right amount of water is given to them and that you remove the plants showing signs of being eaten. It is however as you do this that a gang of bandits comes into the small village knowing it to be too early for the guards to be awake enough to stop them. The four buff men make a bee line straight for your farm armed with swords and their hunger driving them to forward the group quickly surrounds you in your field swords at the ready and their demands for food coming quickly out their mouths.

Sadly for you and the bandits your crops are not ready. Still just sprouts coming out from the soft soil this leads to the bandits to start to get rough by pushing you to the ground and starts to kick you while your down. It is their answer to you as you start to cry out for help knowing you stood no chance being unarmed, it is then to your surprise that a stern female voice calls out.

“Fighting a farmer? What sort of low class warrior are you men? I've seen server girls with more muscles then you scum.”

Hearing such a comment makes the four bandit turn their attention away from you and toward their new foe. Who to your surprise is no other then the warrior women who hours ago slept soundly in your home. Yet now she stand tall in her black as night armour, her weapon in hand and a confident look on her face that makes one of the bandits start to shake at the sight in fear.

Not a single word is said back by the bandit as they charge there new foe like a pack of wolves ready to strike only to then be cut down like dogs. A few swipes of the females warrior weapon is all it take to end the lives of the bandits leaving you stunned in awe at her skill and a little frightened as she walks towards you.

Quickly you get up and start to walk back as the female warrior comes closer and closer wearing the same confident face that she wore moments ago when she cut down the lives of four men. You however do not get far as with an order of stop from your female guest, you freeze mere inches from her wearing a fearful look in your eyes as finally she stands before you.

“Are bandits attacks like this normal for you?” She asks rather calmly making you answer back with a stutter that it is. Hearing this and looking around at the bodies of the bandits she cut down, the young warrior women finally introduces herself as Lu Lingqi and asks you if you would hire her to guard your fields?

Shock, horror and strangely excitement hit you hearing the young female warrior introduce herself as even the lowest class of people had heard of Lu Bu and his daughter who lord Cao Cao wanted to capture. You find it hard to answer her at first knowing in your mind that if anyone found out you had hired an enemy of your lord to guard your fields then you would be seen as a traitor.

Then again you look at the four bodies of the bandits behind her and can't help but think how wonderful it would be to be able to not have to worry about bandits wreaking your fields or trying to steal your crops.  

“Fine. But if I do you have to wear a mask you understand.” You say to her making Lu Lingqi nod in agreement as you and her go back into your home to discuss the terms of her employment. Bed, breakfast and a small cut of the profits from your sales is all that is required to get the legendary daughter of a warrior to guard your crops and boy would you start to notice the improvement.

For three mouths later standing in the filed wearing a rag cloth over the bottom of her face, the daughter of Lu Bu seems to have become a common sight for the village people who have come to call her the field warrior. Your crops not missing a single leaf and merchants starting to find some more coin for your goods seeing now that your farm is protected and very prosperous with the amount of goods your could present them.

The mouths had lead you to new riches which you share with your new bodyguard who too seem to enjoying her work as night after night the two of you would sit down and share a glass of wine together as business partners even if sometimes the pair of you came rather close to your lips meeting and your words turning to more of what a young lovers would say to one another playing the game of love.
The good times however could not last forever as soon the deeds of this field warrior reach the ears of Cao Cao who comes with his cousin to recruit this warrior into the ranks of Cao Cao's army one evening when you and the daughter of Lu Bu are in your fields.

Tall, menacing and with sharp eyes, lord Cao Cao stands behind his one eyed cousin who calls out to you both making you quickly run over to your lord and get on you knees before him while Lu Lingqi stays within the tall rice plants of your field. She would never bow before the man who took her father life and yet it is that belief that would lead the young warrior to come to a cross road as not responding to the calls of Cao's Cao's cousin the Wei lord takes matters into his own hands.

As you find yourself at the edge of your own lord blade as he calls out to your guard that he knows who she is.

“Very clever I will admit. No one would expect the daughter of the beast to reside in service to a farmer Lady Linqi. Expect me of course. After all like your father, your fame as a warrior has spread throughout my lands like a wild fire perhaps even faster then your fathers. As such let me offer you a choice, serve me or join your father in death.”

You knew the answer Lu Linqi would give as such you call out to her to flee. Making you Cao Cao next problem to deal with as he states that for hiding an enemy of his land your punishment would be death. A moment of silence is brought before you all finally making Lu Bu's daughter remove her cloth mask and step before the cousin of Cao Cao with a new offer for Cao Cao.

“Lord Cao Cao, my father wished to serve you and your killed him on the word of another. As such if you wish me to serve you then I will need you to forgive this farmer crime. If you can do that I will serve you till the day I die for that man is the one who has shown me love and in return I will love him even if it is as a shadow that watches him from afar.”

The strong word of Li Linqi certainly stun you as it does Cao's Cao cousin yet for the wise lord the words of the warrior make him comment that unlike her father lady Linqi has a wise head on her shoulders. As such he will gladly forgive this farmers crime and will want to her to come with them now.

A sad if not touching way of good bye, all you can do is knee on the ground as passing by you. Lu Linqi kisses you on the head telling you that she is sorry that she could not express her feelings in a more comfortable way.

“Lu….Linqi” The soft and sad words that escape your quiver lips as with a final bright smile the daughter of Lu Bu leaves with her new lord leaving you and all your good times behind. Some would say it is the fate of a warrior to one day lose all they love in order to become their best and yet  I wonder how scholars would explain your actions.

For within days you sold your farm, pack you bags and head to the camp of Cao Cao where you would go on to serve under the women who protected you for thirty long years before finally you die in her arms leaving her your memories but also a son. A young man bearing the name of Lu Bu and a strong will that would one day lead him to serve within the Jin dynasty allowing him to finally see the land of war become a peaceful one.
