Chapter 4 — Pick up the Bridegroom

Normally he would have returned from the military camp by this time. Ah, that's right. Now he no longer follows the merchant group to the foreign mandarins. Five years ago, I forced him to read books, learn to read and take care of his health. Then he joined the Tran Bac army. Trieu Hang has a talent for leading soldiers. In his early years, he used to bleed blood on the blade of his knife, fighting for his life with bandits. He is familiar with the routes outside the border gates, has made achievements in exterminating bandits, and is now a heavenly guardian. While we were looking outside. One of Trieu Hang's younger brothers ran over in panic. He breathed heavily and said:
"Ngo Tao Vuong! This is not good! Big brother is fighting with the young master of the small department!"

Inside the Binh An headquarters was noisy and chaotic. Trieu Hang and Tran Van Thang fought, each punch hit meat, but no one next to them dared to stop them. Trieu Hang is famous for being someone who doesn't need a life. If it was a few years ago. Even the desperate group in the bandit den who encountered him had to think about whether to confront him head-on or not. But in the last three years, as soon as bandits met Trieu Hang, they turned and ran away. There is only one reason: Trieu Hang has come to value life. A person who values life is scarier than a person who doesn't need life. Trieu Hang is able to sit on the position of heavenly protector thanks to each sword he produces. He once said:
"How could I die in the hands of you scum? My sister is still at home waiting for me."
As for Tran Van Thang. No one can advise him. This young master of the Binh An bureau is famous for his eyes being higher than his head. He comes from a rich background, has a hot temper, and has an uncle who is a Prime Minister. Trieu Hang punched him down and said fiercely:
"Stop farting with me! If you dare to ruin my sister's reputation, today I will definitely beat you to death!"
Tran Van Thang kicked out and smiled coldly:
"Vuong Phan and I have been going back and forth for three months! Who doesn't know about the whole family? I came to propose to her because I value you! What are you in a hurry for?"
Trieu Hang's eyes swept over. The people in the bureau didn't dare to look directly at him. Trieu Hang gasped:
“What is it that the whole department knows?”
Mrs. Truong couldn't look at the rice anymore, frowned and said:
"Ngo Tao Vuong often goes in and out of the house, anyone with eyes can see it. Moreover, she is a seventeen-year-old girl, has no father or mother, and has to take care of her own marriage anyway."
Trieu Hang spat a mouthful of blood onto the ground. He only felt pain in all his internal organs. That pain is clear and intense. Unlike five years ago, when he escaped from the bandits' den with his whole body covered in wounds. At that time, he only heard that Duong Giao Nguyet had gone to the capital to get married. It also hurt then. But the pain is so blurry and empty. Trieu Hang looked at Tran Van Thang's proud face and said with difficulty:
“But everyone said…”
Everyone said that Vuong Phan was his wife. Ly A Dai sells fish, shopkeeper Vuong sells jam, all say the same thing. Today, Ton Nhi Nuong even asked when they would get married. Tran Van Thang sarcastically asked:
"What are you talking about? Don't you, Trieu Hang, always say that Vuong Phan is your sister? Since you're a sister, she has a good place, shouldn't you be happy? Or do you have evil intentions in your heart that you can't let others know about?"
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw someone entering. Tran Van Thang rolled his eyes and immediately thought of it one thing. He leaned close to Trieu Hang's ear and whispered:
"Trieu Hang, you consider for yourself what you are. Vuong Phan is beautiful and elegant, and he is a good man in the palace, very respected. She could have left you long ago. As for you, you have never had a home before. It's all just your delusion."
Tran Van Thang is sure that the last sentence will anger Trieu Hang. Sure enough, Trieu Hang punched straight ahead. Tran Van Thang fell to the ground, covered his face, looked behind Trieu Hang and accused:
"Phan Phan, you saw it too! I have tolerated him everywhere, yet Trieu Hang is still such an arrogant, disrespectful, wild and untamable beast!"

Trieu Hang suddenly turned around. As soon as he saw me, he instinctively hid his bloody hands behind his back. He wanted to explain, but didn't know how to open his mouth. I looked at his dirty face, sweat and dirt mixed together. I hate throwing my handkerchief into his lap. Trieu Hang immediately quickly wiped his face. He looked at me and was about to return the towel. But after bowing his head to look at the towel, he stuffed it back into his chest. Tran Van Thang is still lying on the ground. I raised my eyebrows at him:
“If you don't get up yet, are you planning to cheat and get money?”
Tran Van Thang stood up and pointed to his face:
"Look at how Trieu Hang beat me! Phan Phan, I just asked him one question, how much bride price does he need to propose to you? He didn't know right from wrong before he took action."
Trieu Hang heard the words "bride price" and gritted his teeth. He looked at me. Wait for me to speak up. I lazily said:
"We broke up eight hundred years ago, so what's the point of mentioning the bride price? Tran Van Thang, if you're crazy during the day, go find Kim Bat Hoan and drink some medicine."
