The year is 202 BC. Dwelling in rural China is a flourishing
tribe derived from the Manchu. They're a self sufficient community
that focus their efforts on farming and martial arts and
traditions. They are led by a man named Delun. He is a wise man
with a great devotion to his people. Over the past few years Delun
had led his tribe through the unification of Middle China and into
the Han Dynasty with reasonable success. But now he feared for
their future.
Though the tribe had remained relatively unaffected for the
remainder of Emperor Ziying's reign and the last of the Qin
Dynasty, China was now beginning to develop, making hugeadvances in
the arts but in particular in the sciences. The Han Dynasty had
begun to push China into a new modern era and Delun feared that the
modernisation arriving in China would force his people to abandon
their ways and traditions and in so doing lose what was a
harmonious and easy way of life, but more seriously given the news
that he had received of late, he feared that the new Han Emperor

By the time Jiao heard what Wu had done she was too late to warn

Jiao now decided to change her plan. She danced for the Emperor as
always but it would be the last. She poured her heart and soul into
the performance. When she had finished she took a glass of wine and
toasted the Emperor. She raised the glass and then put it to her
lips. She drank the entire glass in one gulp and continued to
dance. A very short time after that Jiao's dancing began to flow
oddly. She seemed disorientated and Wu began to feel threatened by
her movement. Suspecting she had found out about his military
decision, Wu took his sword and lunged at Jiao. But he was too
late. He realised quickly that what lay attached to the end of his
sword was already dead. Wu took her glass smelling the arsenic and
realised it had been meant for him. Wu couldn't help tears rolling
down his cheeks, both in relief and sadness,
