Chapter 8 — After Rebirth, I Will Not Be a Widow Anymore

17

Tough versus tough, of course I'm not as good as Yen Chinh. But my martial arts skills were taught by him in my previous life. During the competition, Yen Chinh discovered that I used a very familiar move, so he was stunned for a moment. The moment he was surprised, I quickly controlled him. The cheers throughout the stadium were even more resounding than before.

"Very good! Miss Tham was able to knock down our general, it's truly hidden!"

"The general usually trains us harshly, but today we finally met our enemy."

“…”

When the whole arena rang with applause one after another, Dung Hinh arrived at the military camp. From afar, he saw me among the group of men. Her hair is shorter, her body is darkened by the sun, she wears the short cotton shirt commonly worn by soldiers, and there is no longer any timidity that should be expected of a concubine. Only the smile on his face was unusually brilliant. He stood in place, looking at me generously talking and laughing with everyone, a thick sour taste rising in his heart. The soldiers who led him to the military camp shouted toward the battlefield, bringing his thoughts back.

"Miss Shen, your brother-in-law is here to find you!"

Hearing the words "husband", I unconsciously followed the call. The smile immediately stiffened at the corners of his lips. Dung Hinh standing on a high place seemed a bit nervous. He adjusted his shirt and forced a smile.

"Thanh Uyen... I'm here to take you home."

Tieu Ngu poured tea for Dung Hinh. Knowing that he was my brother-in-law, Tieu Ngu was very enthusiastic. He endlessly told stories about how I cleverly broke up the racket and protected the military camp, as if he was the one who discovered the racket. In fact, he also achieved success thanks to this. Right now he is my loyal tail. Dung Hinh listened quietly, as if the first day he met me, his face became more and more ugly. After Tieu Ngu withdrew, he frowned and said:

"Thanh Uyen, how could you run to the military camp in anger because of evading marriage? Do you know how cruel the Huns are? They flayed people to make war drums. Moreover, this place is full of men, you are an unmarried woman and mixed in the military camp, where is the reputation of the Tham family?"

"I also heard that you and the general here have an endless relationship. The person who can be a general, I don't know how many years older than you. Look at your appearance now, don't you need reputation anymore?"

Different religions, incompatible strategies. The generals here have an upright character. Praise is praise, scold is scold. Unlike the harsh writer like Dung Hinh, scolding you for not knowing how to keep yourself is a lot of beating around the bush.

"How is my sister? Is she coming?"

Duc Hinh avoids my eyes.

"She's very nice. She's in the capital, she won't come."

He wanted to drink water, but as soon as he lifted the teacup, he saw a layer of mud floating on the water's surface. Looking at the simple environment of the military camp, he put it down. His heart aches again, he wants to come and hold my hand. I was so disgusted that I dodged around and jumped away. At this moment, Tieu Ngu's high-pitched voice came from outside the tent.

"Miss Shen and her husband are drinking tea inside!"

As soon as Yen Chinh arrived, the gloomy room immediately brightened. I immediately jumped behind him and took his hand. Yen Chinh is confused. I glared at him, determined not to let go. Dung Hinh saw the attachment in our eyes, held each other's hands, and my heart sank more than half.

“This one To be?"

“Yen Chinh.” Yen Chinh reported his name.

For the time being, Dung Hinh did not associate the word Yen in Yen Chinh with the Yen family in the capital. A trace of discomfort and frustration arose in his heart. Seeing that Yen Chinh is young and handsome, at best he is just a station chief. As for himself, the entire court of twenty-year-olds who held seventh-rank officials could be counted on the fingers of one hand. He is also a royal courtier, his future can be said to be limitless. He arrogantly looked away. When he looked at me again, his voice became a bit harder, not allowing for any rebuttal.

“Don't panic anymore. Follow me home. The marriage with the Lam family can still be resolved. If she doesn't marry Lam Loan..."

He stopped, seemingly not knowing who he should marry me to. Whoever I marry, he will be a little unhappy in his heart. I squeezed Yen Chinh's hand and looked straight at Dung Hinh.

“I told you, I won't marry Lam Loan. It's so good here, I won't go back."

“Very good?”

Dung It seems like I heard a big joke. He glanced at the simple tent, his eyes fell on Yen Chinh's ordinary cloth shirt without armor, his disdain was not hidden.

“Tham Thanh Uyen, look at your current appearance! Mixed with this group of rude soldiers, they still dragged and dragged. Does she not care about her wife's reputation and the Tham family's reputation? She really doesn't know how to keep herself!”

I was so angry that I clenched my fist, but was pulled back by Yen Chinh. Twelve-year-old Yen Chinh went into battle to kill the enemy. His majestic aura made Dung Hinh unconsciously take a step back.

“First, under Yen Chinh, the chief general of the border army defending Luong Chau, the third rank general of Tran Bac.”

Dung Hinh's contemptuous face immediately turned white.

“Second, Miss Tham is a hero of our army, respected by the entire army. The rude military men in Lord Dung's mouth are men who protect the country, bathing in blood in battle. Lord Dung reads books of saints and sages, so he must know that righteous people often come from ordinary backgrounds. The two words respect, probably don't need to be taught by Yen."

The Face of the Image is sometimes green and sometimes red.

“Third, whether Miss Tham stays or not, it's up to you to decide. If you want to go, I will send someone to escort you, ensuring your safety along the way. If you want to stay…”

He grabbed my hand and said in an iron-cold voice:

“As long as I Yen Chinh is still here, this Luong Chau camp will have a place for you to live. No one can force her to do something she doesn't want to do."

Outside the tent, flags were blowing in the wind. Along with the pounding of our hearts. My nose is stinging. Yen Chinh, you really know how to talk too much, why do you always say things that touch my heart? I playfully pinched Yen Chinh's palm. Yen Chinh pretended to be serious, holding my hand upside down, not letting me move. At that moment, Tieu Ngu's voice was filled with surprise from outside the tent. Seconds later, the curtain was lifted. An impatient female voice rang out:

“Thanh Uyen!”
