Chapter 4 — Beauty B/Illness? With one kick I will kick away the Lord of War

I dreamed that my master had returned. He told me that Thien Co Cac had been destroyed by Ve Chieu. I dream that I don't have to pretend to be sick anymore. You can stand righteously under the sun. I still dreamed about... He held my hand. Take me to walk in the middle of a field filled with blooming flowers. He told me.

“Hoa Dien.”

“From now on, I will protect you.”

When you wake up. I discovered that I was actually leaning on Ve Chieu's lap. His arms hugged me tightly. He slept very soundly. I look at the face right in front of my eyes. The scar under the morning sunlight no longer seems as fierce as before. Can't control it but beats faster. Do you already like him? That thought just appeared. Even we were startled. I quickly escaped from his arms. Run straight onto the field. Risking his life to fight a full set of Phuc Ho Fist. Only then did the racing heart gradually calm down. The days that followed. Everything is peaceful. There was no movement from the Crown Prince's side. People from Thien Co Cac did not appear again. Me and Ve Chieu continue our life of "acting in plays during the day, practicing martial arts at night". The relationship between the two of us seems to be getting darker and darker. He always remembers which store I like to eat cinnamon flower extract from. It will also quietly help us block eyes full of bad intentions. Every time he practiced swordplay, he would give him a cup of tea. When he read the military book. I will also sit quietly next to him. No one said clearly. But they both understood in their hearts. There are some things... It's different from before. Ve Chieu returned from outside. His face was extremely unsightly.

"What's up?"

I went up to greet him.

“I have found a stronghold of Thien Co Pavilion.”

“But... it's a step too late.”

“What do you mean?”

“The base has been destroyed.”

“The people inside... are all dead.”

He looked at me. His eyes were extremely heavy.

“It's being killed by people to destroy the language.”

My heart tightens.

“Is it the Crown Prince?”

“That's eight or nine parts.”

Ve Chieu said.

"People sent information to the Crown Prince's palace."

“Recently, the Crown Prince has been interacting very closely with a mysterious person.”

“It seems he wants to borrow Thien Co Cac's hand to eliminate you.”

We analyze.

"Now that the matter is exposed, he will kill everyone and kill everyone."

“Not only that.”

Ve Chieu said.

“I doubt…”

“The masters of Thien Co Cac are right in the capital.”

The owners of Thien Co Cac. The character in the legend of the dragon can see its head but not its tail. If he is really in the capital. Then things will become troublesome.

“What do you plan to do?” I looked at Ve Chieu and quietly asked.

“Lead the snake out of the cave.” He looked at me, a cold light flashing in the bottom of his eyes.

“How to lead?”

“Use her.”

"She is the target that Thien Co Cac is chasing, and is also the person that the Crown Prince always wants to have."

Ve Chieu looked at me and slowly said: "As long as you are alone, they will definitely take action."

“So, you want me to be bait?” I frowned slightly.

“I know this is dangerous.” He held my hand, his voice extremely sincere:

"But this is the only method at this time. Don't worry, I will always silently protect you and absolutely will not let anything happen to you."

I quietly looked at him, unable to help but hesitate. This is indeed the best way, but... it's also really risky.

“Hoa Dien.” He softly called my name, his voice gentle: "Do you believe me?"

I looked into his sincere eyes, and for some reason, as if possessed by a ghost, I nodded slightly.

"Okay." I replied softly: "I will help you."

The plan is set for 3 days later. That day was the Thuong Nguyen New Year, all over the capital, there would be an extremely bustling flower lantern festival, crowded with people, it was the most suitable opportunity for the opponent to take action. During those 3 days, Ve Chieu almost never left my side. He taught me many techniques to use to escape, and also gave me a poisoned dagger, telling me to always carry it with me.

“Remember this carefully.” He warned me time and time again: "If you are truly in danger, the most important thing is to preserve your life."

I looked at his tense appearance and suddenly felt an indescribable warmth in my heart. On the night of the Thuong Nguyen New Year, I changed into normal clothes and quietly snuck out the back door of the Hau palace.
