boat riding over the waves as if all was perfect calm。

〃The northern people are riders and the southern people sailors。 It is said quite true;〃 sighed Liu Bei。

Sun Quan hearing this remark took it as a reproach to his horsemanship。 Bidding his servants lead up his steed; Sun Quan leaped into the saddle and set off; full gallop; down the hill。 Then wheeling he came up again at the same speed。

〃So the southerners cannot ride; eh?〃 said Sun Quan laughing。

Not to be outdone; Liu Bei lifted the skirts of his robe; jumped upon his horse and repeated the feat。

The two steeds stood side by side on the declivity; the riders flourishing their whips and laughing。

Thence forward that hillside was known as the 〃Slope Where the Horses Stood;〃 and a poem was written about it:

Their galloping steeds were of noble breed;

And both of spirit high;

And the riders twain from the hill…crest gazed

At the river rolling by。

One of them mastered the western mountains。

One ruled by the eastern sea;

And the hill to this very day

Still is the Slope Where the Horses Stood。

When they rode side by side into Nanxu; the people met them with acclamations。 Liu Bei made his way to the guest…house and there sought advice from Sun Qian as to the date of the wedding。

Sun Qian advised; 〃It should be fixed as early as possible so that no further plications could arise。〃

So next day Liu Bei went to the State Patriarch Qiao and told him in plain words; 〃Many the people of the place mean harm to me; and I cannot stay here long。 I must return soon。〃

〃Do not be anxious;〃 said the State Patriarch Qiao。 〃I will tell the Dowager Marchioness; and she will protect you。〃

Liu Bei bowed to express his thanks。

The State Patriarch Qiao saw the Dowager; and she was very angry when she heard the reason for Liu Beis desire to leave。

〃Who would dare harm my son…in…law?〃 cried she。

But she made Liu Bei move into the library of the palace as a precaution; and she chose a day for the celebration of the wedding。 But his soldiers could not keep guard at the library and were removed from his mands。 Liu Bei explained to his hostess; and when she understood this; she gave her son…in…law and his people rooms in her own palace so that he might be quite safe。

Liu Bei was very happy; and there were fine banquets; and the bride and bridegroom duly plighted their troth。 And when it grew late and the guests had gone; the newly wedded pair walked through the two lines of red torches to the nuptial apartment。

To his extreme surprise; Liu Bei found the chambers furnished with spears and swords and banners and flags; while every waiting…maid had girded on a sword。

Walls hung with spears the bridegroom saw;

And armed waiting…maids;

His heart fell back on all its fears
