Chapter 17 — I am the Fourth Thien Co

“Open the Heavenly Machine Formation.”

Following the Emperor's shout. The patterns on the floor of the main hall simultaneously lit up. The ancient lines are intertwined like spider webs, spreading from the dragon's head to our feet. In that moment. I felt a sharp pain in my head. Not normal pain. It's like there are countless invisible hands trying to open every memory and every thought in our heads. The sounds of people on the main hall gradually disappeared. The shouting outside the palace gradually faded away. Before our eyes there is only an endless darkness. I want to step. But don't know where to go. I want to say. But I couldn't hear my own voice. It's like the whole person is being pulled into a bottomless abyss. I suddenly remembered Co Thanh Hoa's words.

“Don't go into battle.”

It turns out this is the Thien Co Formation. It's not like a formation. It resembles a net. A net used to hold people back, then take away what they want. I feel my memories wavering. Knowledge about the previous world. Things we have learned. Being touched by something. I bit my lip. Want to fight back. But the feeling of helplessness still rises in waves. The three sisters also stood here that year. Used to be so lonely. Used to be so helpless. Right at that moment. In the darkness suddenly a ray of light appeared. But very warm. I unconsciously watched. Then I saw a woman wearing a blue dress standing on the riverbank. Behind her are countless medicine tents. It's children laughing. These are roads that have just been repaired. We recognized it immediately. Co Thanh Hoa. She turned her head to look at me. Still that gentle smile.

“Sister.”

“If you're scared, look ahead.”

“Don't look down.”

That moment. I suddenly saw countless images appear. The people she saved. People who still remember her to this day. I suddenly understood. Co Thanh Hoa left me not a map. It's the people's heart. She left the path. For when we fall down. Someone will help. The first light enters our body. The pain immediately subsided to some extent. A second ray of light appeared. A woman wearing a red dress sat on a pile of books as high as a mountain. The corners of her lips carried a familiar smile.

“Sister.”

“Don't forget to take the money.”

I burst out laughing. Even in this situation. Thuong Minh Chau still says that. But this time. We understand the true meaning. Behind her is not gold or silver. It's a business association. It's a silver signal. It's Flower Fairy Little Leopard. There are countless women who have been helped by her. These are the people who stood up outside the palace today. Her silver. Has turned into strength. Turn into voice. Turned into a lamp that lit up the entire capital. I suddenly understood. Thuong Minh Chau never left behind a treasury. She left behind a human network. The second light enters people. The Thien Co Array shook once more. Then a third light appeared. This time it's wind and sand. It's a military flag. It was the sound of horse hooves echoing from far away. Ky Truong Anh stands on the sand dune. War robes fluttering in the wind. She didn't smile. Just look at me. His eyes were still as sharp as the first day.

“The fourth person.”

“If you don't come back.”

“I will fight the final battle for you.”

I clasped the half-piece of the warrior talisman in my hand. Behind her. Tay Canh's old camp appeared one after another. Everyone who still remembers her. All the people who still believe in her. I suddenly understood. Ky Truong Anh left me not a military talisman. It's the will. Be a team The army has never admitted defeat. The third light enters the body. The entire darkness around us begins to crack. In that moment. I finally understand. The three of them did not fail. Co Thanh Hoa left the way. Thuong Minh Chau left behind silver. Ky Truong Anh left soldiers behind. The girls did not lose. The girls just haven't had time to stand together yet. But today. I stand here. Take with you everything you left behind. I am the final point connecting those three paths. Tears suddenly fell. I looked at the three figures in front of me.

“The rest.”

“Let me continue.”

Right then. Three beams of light exploded at the same time. Thien Co Array shook violently. The patterns on the floor of the main hall began to reverse. The light is directed towards us. Suddenly reflected back into the sky. The sound of chanting echoed throughout the main hall. The shouting outside the palace also fell silent. The entire capital raised their heads together. Because in the sky. Huge images appear. It is Co Thanh Hoa's tent. It is the commercial association of Thuong Minh Chau. It is the military camp of Ky Truong Anh. Truths that were once hidden. The merits that were once covered in dust. Appearing before everyone's eyes. No one can cover it up. No one can erase it. Amidst the brilliant white light. I raised my head and looked up. Then I saw three names slowly appearing. Each stroke is as bright as the stars in the sky. First is: CO THANH HOA. Next is: THUONG MINH CHAU. Finally: KY TRUONG ANH. Three names have been erased from history books. Three names were once buried in silence. Appearing high in the sky before the eyes of the entire Dai Chu.
