As my dynasty continues to prosper and Peking continues to grow, I begin to wonder, are we the only people in this world? Except for the barbarian animals challenging our greatly trained Chu Ko Nu's, is there anyone else? I continue to wonder, the life of our people and what we are here for and I remember, ahhh, the Yellow River is beside us, though we are yet to sette there. I call my advisor through a gong, she comes yet a shadow and a half later.
"Sorry Master, it took me a while to run a 100Li, I heard the gong all the way across Peking!"
"I am all but mad, I am confused, I need a suggestion." I asked.
"But yes, of course Master, what is the question?" She asks.
"How is the best way to learn about the land around us?" I asked.
"Well, we have our elite Chu Ko Nu's settling in groups" She replied.
"No another way, which would be faster!" I said.
"Ahhh yes! Explorers! I call it, explorers! They would be sent out and draw thier seeings in a stone tablet!" She happily replied.
"Yes! Thats perfect! Send a note to everyone in Peking that wants the job!" I demanded.
"Yes Sir!" She yelled.
Days and days go by until they finally get an answer from two people.
"They are so hard to choose from, I cant pick!" I said " I only need one!"
I decided for them to duel, each one will start with a spear and a bow and arrow. The winner is the one that survives.
The fight goes on, one dodges and attacks the other one flips and shoots in the air and the fight goes on for hours.
Just untill one of them trips and falls beneath the other one's spear, its over.
"We have a winner! One that can defend itself from danger will succeed in this adventure, what is your name young one?" I asked.
He said "My name is Leng He."
"Ahhh yes, Leng He is a great name for a future explorer like you! I am going to send you Leng He on a search for mankind. I want you to start exploring south then to what our Philosophers say is the Middle East. Offer peace from the Great Empire of China and small gifts of rice from goodwill. If you see any animals like the ones around us, run away, I will send 10 soldiers with you to your aid, remember what I told you and bring back positive!"
"Yes Master! I will give my all, thank you! Leng He replies.
Leng He leaves the room.
Finally the day is over and tommorrow will bring better.

-Send Leng He on an andventure as describes above.
