The Queen Mother was surprised for a moment, then looked at me with a flat stomach. "But your body..." "Your body is fine." I rubbed my belly and smiled softly: "I believe, this child definitely wants to save the people of the Yellow River." The Queen Mother was finally convinced by me, and within a few days she gave me the decree, announcing that I would take the status of a guest and a water manager to go to the Yellow River. Also accompanying was the great general Tu Thanh Hoan. On the day of departure, the front gate was filled with people saying goodbye. I was preparing to leave with the company when I saw Giang So Uyen leading a horse coming. Behind her, there was Ve Lang Tu, full of self-pity. I didn't look at him, my face was cold and I didn't speak. Giang So Uyen immediately got off his horse, strode in front of me, and explained to me. "I obey the emperor's orders to join you in investigating the case. Lang Tu's hometown is on the edge of the Yellow River, he wants to return to visit his relatives, not on the same road as us." "After breaking up with you, I carefully thought back over everything you said. You care very much about the relationship between Lang Tu and me, right?" "I never liked him, you really don't need to pay attention to him." Listening to her explanation, My voice didn't change at all. "Lord Jiang, I don't care who you're with." "If sir comes to investigate, don't get involved in your love affair anymore. I hope that no matter how you and he are, don't disturb my work, okay?" Giang So Uyen's expression paused, her eyes became serious. "No one will bother you." She guaranteed: "I will help you achieve anything you want to do." I nodded freely. don't say believe or not believe. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, his shoulder was held by Giang So Uyen. Her eyes softened and she looked at me and asked: "How is your body lately?" "I have prepared a lot of medicinal herbs. This time you will have to endure a lot of suffering on your trip. I have no way to stop you from going, I can only nourish your body well." "Doctor, did you say your body is suitable for traveling far? I have prepared a more comfortable carriage..." She babbled, unlike the cold and distant Khanh Dai Ly Tu, not moved by external things. before at all. I panicked for a moment. If in the past five years, she had treated me with such meticulous care, rather than just superficial questions, I would have been so happy. But now, I quickly escaped her hands. "Thank you, Lord Giang, for your concern, I'm okay." After saying that, I went to find Tu Thanh Hoan. Tu Thanh Hoan was in charge of escorting everyone to the Yellow River. She is calm and trustworthy, and does everything very well. Before leaving, she deliberately ordered someone to check my carriage many times. Seeing me approaching, she immediately took a warm hand warmer and put it in my hand. "The long journey will be a bit tiring, the carriage has prepared a lot of snacks for you, all of which are things you like to eat." "I've asked the doctor, you don't have to abstain too much right now, but the long journey is tiring, easily making your body uncomfortable. If you can't stand it, you have to tell me immediately, we can slow down a bit." She didn't say anything fancy, but every One sentence makes people feel at ease. I smiled, nodded and agreed: "Okay." The two of us looked at each other and smiled, the atmosphere was clear and pleasant. No one noticed, not far away, Giang So Uyen looked at this scene, her eyes darkened. Waiting for us to return to the Yellow River to deal with the water problem, while staying at a roadside inn, it suddenly started to rain heavily. The sound of rain falling, getting louder and louder. There was a risk of landslides ahead. Tu Thanh Hoan, worried about my safety, decided to stay at a hotel for the night. I was tired, so I went into my room and got ready to go to sleep. In the middle of the night, I was awakened by loud crying. As soon as I went out, I heard the chant

The counter said, not far away, there was a people's house that was crushed by a landslide, and there were children inside. I worriedly walked to the lobby, just in time to see Tu Thanh Hoan and Giang So Uyen both changing into raincoats, intending to lead someone to save people. I frowned and walked forward: "I'll go too." Tu Thanh Hoan immediately refused: "No, it's too dangerous outside." But I stubbornly said: "I once followed my father to the Yellow River, and know more about mountain landslides than you guys." Without saying another word, I put on my raincoat and followed them into the heavy rain. When we arrived at the village, the surrounding area was already chaos. People were crying and wailing non-stop, and people were constantly being lifted out from under the collapsed house. I found a few children locked in the ruins, and based on the little experience I had, I hesitated to find a way to live. A baby was rescued, Tu Thanh Hoan and Giang So Uyen both breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, a child's cry rang out from the collapsed house next door. I was so scared that I didn't have time to think too much and rushed forward to pick up the crying baby. Immediately after that, he turned around and ran away, but in the next second, the child's leg was held back. Looking down, I saw Ve Lang Tu's legs covered in blood falling to the ground, looking at me and begging: "Save me." "Bang" there was a loud sound.
