Chapter 15 — The day I returned, the entire General's Palace was afraid

At this moment, Tran Bac Vuong's face finally showed fear. He wants to run. But his legs seemed to be nailed to the ground, unable to move at all. Because he saw a centipede with a completely black body. At some point, it had crawled onto the instep of his foot and was heading towards him, raising two giant poisonous fangs that flashed with cold light.

“This… this is…”

“My other companion.”

I smiled and said:

“It's called 'Black Magic'.”

Tran Bac Vuong let out a desperate scream. Then, his sound suddenly stopped. His body took a strange posture and stiffened in place. The seven holes on his face began to bleed black blood. With a bang, he fell to the ground. Dead. The rebellion was quelled. The capital restored its peace as before. The General's Palace also became the place that received the most attention and respect from Dai Yen. In order to reward us for our merits, the Emperor sent down countless amounts of gold, silver, jewels, brocade and silk. My father, Lam Uy, restored his original position, and was also ordained as "Ho Quoc Cong". Big Brother Lam Tu Van became the new Minister of Military Affairs. Second brother Lam Tu Vo also became Commander of the Forbidden Army. Even Lam Thanh Tuyet, because she was "terrified" during the rebellion, was sympathized by the Emperor and bestowed a marriage to the new Faculty Poinsettia, her future was wide open. The General's Palace can be said to be the whole family enjoying glory. Just me, don't need anything. When the Emperor asked me what I wanted to reward. I only ask for one thing.

“I want an army of women, completely under my control.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole dynasty was shocked. From ancient times until now, we have never heard that women can also join the army to go to war. What's more, he wants to establish an army made up entirely of women. This is truly the most ridiculous thing in the world. The civil and military officials all protested, my father remained silent, and even the Little Emperor looked awkward. I don't argue with them. I just looked at the Little Emperor on the dragon's chair and calmly said:

“Your Majesty, the person who can sit in this position is not them, but me.”

“My soldiers saved lives.”

“Now, I just want a place where I and my soldiers can live in peace.”

“Is this request too much?”

The Little Emperor was silent. After a long time, the new person nodded.

“I'm right.”

I became the first female general in Dai Yen history, and was also the only person to own an independent female army. The emperor on the outskirts of the capital gave me a piece of land to build my own barracks. My army also has an official title —— “King Hong”. I accepted all the women who had no homes left to return to after the rebellion into the army. There are people who were abandoned by their husbands' families, there are peasant women who were oppressed by landlords, there are also prostitutes in the palace who have suffered all kinds of humiliation and trampling... They are just like me. They are all people abandoned by this world. I give you food to eat. Give the girls clothes to wear. Teach them to read, be literate, and practice martial arts. I tell you that women are not just vines that rely on men to survive. We can also become a giant tree that covers the sky, blocking the wind and rain for ourselves. Day Lam Thanh Tuyet got married, she sent someone to bring me the invitation. I came to attend her wedding. She wore a bright red robe and smiled more radiantly than ever before. New graduate Poinsettia Lang has a dignified appearance, outstanding demeanor, and is also extremely attentive to her. At first glance, they are indeed a well-matched couple. When she saw me, she proactively stepped forward and raised my glass of wine.

“Sister, thank you.”

She said sincerely.

“Thank me for what?”

“Thank you for not killing me.”

She paused for a moment, then continued:

"Thank you also for making me see clearly what I really want."

“I won't fight against you.”

“I don't want to continue fighting anymore.”

“Now, I just want to live out this life in peace and quiet.”

I look at her. After a long time, he raised the glass of wine.

“I wish you all the best.”

Since that day, we never saw each other again. Perhaps, that is the best outcome between the two of us.
