Chapter 6 — I Don't Believe That Humanity Has Gray Heads

"At dusk, a carriage came to pick me up... My wife packed her things... then followed them. I wanted to stop her, but she said that if I stopped her, she would crash her head into the column. General, I... I don't dare stop her!" Then... Where could a woman like her go? Not even a word of farewell? "Who are you going with? Who dares to come to the general's palace to take my wife away?" Tham Tranh was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot. T. Tu To shook his head: "I don't know... I don't know anything." Tham Tranh's mind was blank, he impatiently roared: "Which direction is the carriage going?" "Go... go outside the city. I secretly followed for a while, saw them exiting the southern city gate..." Tham Tranh turned around and rushed out of the courtyard, shouting in a serious voice: "Prepare the horses! Summon the bodyguards, blockade the southern city gate, search the entire city! If you can't find the husband!" people, you all must be buried together!” In the darkness, the general's palace immediately became chaos. Tham Tranh rode his horse and rushed out of the palace, behind were dozens of guards. The cold wind cut his face painfully, but inside he was even more panicked. She is Tham Tranh's wife. How can you just leave? The southern gate is closed. The soldiers defending the city saw General Tran Bac and quickly opened the door to let them go. Tham Tranh took the lead and rushed out, flying quickly on the official path. Tham Tranh's heart gradually sank. Ten miles out, the mandarin road was still empty, not a single person in sight. Tham Tranh reined himself in, looking at the vast night ahead, a bit confused. The woman who had only her heart and mind was only him, the one person he thought that even if everyone left him, she would not go. But now she's gone... Leaving him alone. What should he do? "General, there are three turns ahead, I don't know which way they went..." The captain of the bodyguard stepped forward to report. Tham Tranh was silent for a long time, then slowly raised his hand: "Split into three paths to chase. No matter what, we must find her." "Understood!" The bodyguards split up and left. Only Tham Tranh stood alone, looking at the cold moon in the sky, suddenly remembering a sentence Giang Van Tu had told him a long time ago. At that time, they had just gotten married not long ago. She leaned in his arms and softly said: "Tham Tranh, if you betray me, I will leave. Heaven and earth in this world are vast, there must be a place that can accommodate me Giang Van Tu." At that time, he smiled and kissed her forehead: "How could I betray you? You are the only wife in my life, Tham Tranh." That's right. He once swore. She is his only wife. It was he who betrayed his promise. He lost all hope and returned to the palace. On a small road, a horse-drawn carriage covered with an unattractive green cloth was running very steadily. In the car, Giang Van Tu leaned against the soft cushion, the wound on his shoulder was bandaged. The man sitting opposite took off his mask, revealing a face as gentle as jade. "Does the wound still hurt?" He gave her a cup of warm herbal tea. Giang Van Tu took it, shook his head: "Ah Dien, thank you very much." The man smiled slightly. "Between you and me, what need to say thank you? Three years ago you saved my life. I said, the horizon is broken, as long as you need me, I will definitely protect you." Giang Van Tu looked out the window and asked in a low voice: "Where are we going?" "Giang Nam. I have a building in Su Chau, leaning on the mountain near the river. Most suitable for recovery. Wait until the storm passes, if you want to go somewhere else, I will make arrangements." Giang Van Tu nodded and did not say more. Now she is free. From now on, the mountains are high and the rivers are long, she is just Giang Van Tu. And in the general's palace, Tham Tranh sat motionless in the study room. In front of him was a letter of separation left by Giang Van Tu. "From today, I and you will forever separate. From now on, we will go our separate ways, both sides will be together."

Be free, find your own joy." On the table, there was also a jade pendant made of white jade that she often wore. It was a token of love that he gave her. Even this thing she left behind. Tham Tranh reached out to take the jade pendant. The jade in his hand was still warm and smooth, but no one would wear it close to his body anymore. Outside, the bodyguard's report came from outside: "General, we have searched everywhere, there is no trace of his wife..." Tham Tranh's voice was hoarse. special. “Continue looking. Even if we have to turn the whole Dai Yen upside down, we still have to find her." "Understood..." 8 Tham Tranh sat motionless like that all night. "General..." Outside the door came a cautious voice. To Tuyet Nhu stood at the door holding the child, his eyes were red, sobbing. The child slept very soundly in her arms, his small face was rosy. Tham Tranh did not raise his head, his eyes were still locked tightly on that piece of paper. To Tuyet Nhu carefully stepped forward and brought the child in front of him. “General, you haven't slept all night. I ordered someone to cook ginseng soup... You see, last night Lan Nhi slept very well and her fever has subsided. The doctor said that as long as you take careful care, there will be no scars." The child seemed to feel the movement, his small mouth muttered and he snuggled into his mother's arms.
