Chapter 14 — After Reconciliation, I Was Appointed County King

She forcibly stuffed a bowl of medicine into my hand. "Be good, drink the medicine first, then go rest." Looking at her concerned eyes, I rubbed my tired, sore forehead, finally nodded: "Okay." After drinking the medicine, Tu Thanh Hoan took me back to the room to rest. When we got to the door, we discovered that there was a lotus lamp at the door. The lotus flower lamp is made extremely delicately, with a few words wishing for peace written on the surface. I glanced at it and immediately knew it was Giang So Uyen's handwriting. Tu Thanh Hoan also saw it. The two of them were silent for a moment, Tu Thanh Hoan looked down at me: "Do you need me to help you put it in?" I shook my head: "No need, throw it away." Tu Thanh Hoan was very obedient, took the lotus lamp and threw it into the corner of the wall. I pretended not to see him and went into the room to rest. After resting for half an hour, my body actually felt a lot better. After that, I took the dike drawing and went to find the official in charge of water management to negotiate, going once until night. When I returned, Giang So Uyen was waiting outside my room. When she saw me, she immediately came forward. "Why are you so late?" She saw my face was a bit pale, and hesitantly raised her hand, wanting to help me into the room. But as soon as I got close, I avoided him. "Don't bother Lord Giang." Giang So Uyen's eyes were gloomy, she stood there looking at me for a while. After a long time, he lowered his eyelids and said to me: "I know, no matter what I do now, you won't like it, won't believe me." "But I don't know what to do, so I can learn to love you." I had no interest in continuing, just coldly asked: "Have you investigated Ve Lang Tu's matter clearly?" Giang So Uyen saw that I was willing to talk to her, her eyes lit up again. "It's been investigated clearly. He hates you, and used me as an excuse. All along the way. took the opportunity to use the chaos to stop him. He has now admitted his guilt." Giang So Uyen's eyes stopped, her fingertips trembled. "You don't like her." She stared at me, gritting her teeth at every word, not knowing if she was convincing her or convincing me. I laughed sarcastically: "I don't like her, why do I like her?" "General Tu likes me, respects me, has never forced me, has always been quietly by my side. I am used to having her by my side." "Lord Giang, perhaps you will never understand her feelings for me. She cherishes me, loves me. The love I have from her is something she can never give me." Having finished speaking, I said. Turning around and entering the store, in front of her she bought that lovebird jade pendant. On the way back to the official residence, Giang So Uyen did not say another word. Even because she was afraid of facing me, after taking me back to her room, she immediately ran away and left. I watched her back disappear, but she did not return to the bedroom, but went out again. I pretended to be alone and had just forgotten something at the night market, pretending to search, paying attention to the people around me from the corner of my eye. The bait was very successful, and soon there were people surrounding it. A black cloth was covered over my head, my arms were twisted hard behind me, I was pushed and thrown into a room. I fell to the ground, my wrist hurt, and the door behind me closed. The black cloth was removed, and I was faced with Ve Lang Tu's malicious face. "Bui Tac Du, you made So Uyen be cruel to me, did you ever think that I would beat you to death today?" He sneered at me and slapped me fiercely. I couldn't avoid it, but I reached out and grabbed his wrist, then slapped him back. "Pop!" The crisp sound of the slap echoed throughout the room. Facing Ve Lang Tu's wide eyes full of disbelief, my voice was cold. "The one who deserves to be beaten to death is you." Ve Lang Tu was so angry that his face was fierce: "This place is a stronghold of refugees, surrounded by my people, do you think you can still be arrogant?"

Come here, quickly, keep him for me, I want to kill him!" Ve Lang Tu called out to the exiles outside, his voice extremely sharp. But as soon as the words ended, there was suddenly a commotion outside. The sound of clashing weapons rang out, someone shouted coldly: "Everyone, don't move! The soldiers have surrounded your stronghold, you can't help but be tied!" With a loud shout, the door was kicked open. Giang So Uyen and Tu Thanh Hoan rushed into the door side by side. Seeing the situation in the room, Giang So Uyen immediately pulled me to her side, squeezed my shoulder, eyes filled with worry. "Tac Du, how could you deliberately anger me and leave, then go out yourself as bait?" "If it weren't for me?" promptly discovered and mobilized Hoang Chau's officers and soldiers to save him, he was already in danger." Her voice trembled, with fear in her tone after the danger. "Thank you Lord Giang for your concern." My face was very calm again, avoiding her hand, looking at Tu Thanh Hoan next to me, revealing a reassuring look. "But about being a bait, General Tu and I have already discussed it. She still follows me silently and won't let anything happen to me." Giang So Uyen's face froze. She pursed her lips and said softly: "Then you should tell me. You face danger alone, I'm very worried." I didn't say anything.
