Chapter 11 — Female General Tu Kiss

Halfway there, she saw a pomegranate tree, only then did she realize that this road was very familiar. In the past, every time he went to the palace to look for Yen Chap Khuyet, So Nguyen Tu always liked to go this route. She also likes to climb trees and throw ripe pomegranates into his hands. Later, when she became Queen, he was cold to her, and she often sat under this tree. Pomegranate flowers bloom and then wither, the pomegranate fruit turns from green to red. Year after year, So Nguyen Tu advised himself to endure, to be patient, thinking that everything would be fine. In the end, she endured until death. Before she could get any more emotional, a voice suddenly rang out from behind. "General Chu, what a coincidence." The voice was clear, calm, with a bit of coldness. So Nguyen Tu turned around and indeed saw Ta Dung Du. "Lord Ta, I haven't had a chance to talk to you before." So Nguyen Tu bowed to him. "Lord Ta's letter is very useful, thank you very much." Below Ich Chau citadel, our army besieged the city for seven days, three forced attacks failed, and two thousand casualties. So Nguyen Tu ordered someone to deliver Ta Dung Du's letter into the city. Adding to the rumors that had been prepared months ago, three days later, Truong Dien sent a messenger to surrender, agreeing to cooperate with her internally and externally. The final siege was nothing more than a stage to make King Ich lose his guard. The corner of Ta Dung Du's lips slightly curled up: "The general's proper use is important." "But Truong Dien's appetite is very large, he must have asked for the position of Governor of Ich Chau." So Nguyen Tu nodded: "Lord Ta takes care of things like a god. But Truong Dien has a wolf's heart, if he can betray Ich King, he can also betray the court. I have sent someone to secretly monitor. If there is any movement, immediately report it." Hey, General So did a really nice job." As soon as he finished speaking, Ta Dung Du coughed a few times. While he wasn't paying attention, So Nguyen Tu couldn't help but observe. He still kept his slightly windy appearance, but his face was whiter than before. So Nguyen Tu couldn't help but say: "Lord Ta, the autumn is cold, you should pay attention to your health." Ta Dung Du was a bit stunned, then smiled. "General So, are you taking care of me?" It was originally just a normal question, but when he asked it on purpose, So Nguyen Tu felt his back heat up. She was about to refute, but saw Ta Dung Du turn away and continue coughing for a long time. So Nguyen Tu's heart suddenly became tense. She instinctively reached out to help him. Ta Dung Du is not as skinny as she thought, but not very healthy either. He took advantage of the situation and grabbed So Nguyen Tu's wrist, borrowing a little strength. When Ta Dung Du stopped coughing and turned around, the color of his lips became even lighter. "Thank you, General So, for your concern." So Nguyen Tu looked up. His eyelashes were very long, thin and gently drooping, his eyes were also looking at me. She didn't understand why she was panicked, quickly looking for something to say: "Thank you, sir, when I finish handling everything, I'll invite you to drink." Before she could hear the answer, urgent footsteps were heard in the distance. "General Chu, it turns out you're here! Let me keep looking for you!" A eunuch panted and ran over. Seeing So Nguyen Tu standing with Ta Dung Du, he was stunned and immediately bowed respectfully. "This servant pleases General So, please rest in peace, Lord Ta." So Nguyen Tu withdrew the hand that was being held and calmly asked: "What's the matter?" "The Queen Mother has an edict, please invite General So to come to Tu Ninh palace to talk!" So Nguyen Tu's heart was tense. Ta Dung Du looked at her, his eyes lowered slightly, he lowered his voice and said: "I'm afraid the Queen Mother's coming doesn't have good intentions. General So, everything must be careful." Because of his concern, So Nguyen Tu was stunned for a moment before saying: "Thank you for your reminder." "No need to thank me, I'm still working."

Waiting for General So's wine." So Nguyen Tu went straight to Tu Ninh Palace. Inside, there was still sandalwood smoke. The Queen Mother sat upright on the phoenix chair, her head full of pearls, extremely majestic. So Nguyen Tu knelt down to ask for comfort as usual: "The Lord So Nguyen Tu paid a visit to the Queen Mother." "Very good, your current status has indeed changed." The Queen Mother's cold eyes pressed on So Nguyen Tu, not allowing her to stand up. "You are a woman." If you die, you go out and show your face again, slaying and fighting on the battlefield, what kind of system is there? Do you know what the people in the palace say about you? They say you are a reincarnated god-slayer! Why didn't the Queen Mother say these words before she went on the expedition? "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your concern." So Nguyen Tu raised his head to meet her eyes, neither arrogant nor obsequious. "The evil one on the battlefield is the traitor, the one I save is the people, the one I protect is the country. If killing the enemy to protect the country is also a crime, I have nothing more to say." The Queen Mother just wanted to use her status as a woman who could not lead soldiers to oppress So Nguyen Tu. She did not expect her to be so tough, she could only soften her voice.
