Cao Cao Gets Knocked Down, But He Gets Up Again, You're Never Gonna' Keep Cao Cao Down!

Share

Every adventure needs a good old Tavern Brawl!


Cao Cao and friends stop at a tavern at the crossroads on their way back home and there bear witness to the musical skill of the local songstress, Bian Yuexiang. Young Cao Cao is wonder-struck by this unique and talented woman. The first encounter, however, turns a little awry when a brazen lord, drunk with wine and possessed of no class, accosts the radiant musician and offers money for favours of a very different variety. When Bian Yuexiang replies she's not that sort of performer, her pursuer turns forceful. Before he can make any move, however, Cao Cao steps in and blows ensue. The lord calls for his men, Cao Cao falls for his friends and...well, was there any doubt?

In an effort to wrest the good lady out of harm's way, Cao Cao and Bian Yuexiang find themselves in a...curious position...Not that either of them mind one bit.

Meanwhile, Cao Cao's brother Bin, sister Boshi, cousin Hong, family-friends Qin Bonan and Qin Yilu, close companions Wei Zi and Xun Yu and, of course, his massive new bodyguard Dian Wei, busy themselves clearing house!


Trying to get better at motion effects and mid-action scenes. It's a work in progress.


I'm mostly just happy I got to reference one of my all-time favourite Bri'ish tunes! :D
