Chapter 3 — The Street They Live in Nhan Hoi Quan

In addition to Tien Thi, there was also the shopkeeper, a few teaching gentlemen, and many ordinary women. They knew the emperor's army might be coming, and they all had fear on their faces. As soon as Thien Thien saw Co Thinh Loan appear, she immediately knelt down. "Niang Niang, you have suffered." The crowd also knelt down in one piece. Co Thinh Loan's eyes quickly turned red. "Everyone, quickly get up. This happened because of me, I cannot implicate Nhan Hoi Quan. I will immediately leave the city. Your Majesty will naturally retreat when he sees me." Tien Thien cried and said: "Your Majesty is kind!" I stood next to her, waiting for everyone to finish crying before ordering soldiers to carry two wooden boxes. The wooden box is placed on the snowy ground. Fire signals and military defense maps were taken out one after another. The cries of the people gradually subsided. Tien's face was unsightly: "These things could also have been put in by bad people." "It's possible." I nodded. "So I sent people along the queen's road to investigate." "Before the investigation is clear, whoever opens the city gate will be accused of being an enemy." Tien was frantic: "Lady Luc, you can't gamble with people's lives! If the emperor really comes, what can we do to stop him?" "If you open the gate, you can live?" I looked at her. ta. Thien Tien's lips moved. "The lady has said it, she will pray on our behalf." "The people of Sung Chau have also heard this sentence." I ordered someone to bring a wooden chest. In the chest are military reports from various places that I have managed on behalf of my father over the years. I pulled out Sung Chau's copy and gave it to a teaching teacher. "Read it." The teacher did not dare to accept it. Tran Tinh pulled out his knife and stood next to him, trembling as he opened it. "In August of the seventh year of Showa, the queen went missing in Sung Chau. The emperor led his army to blockade the city, killing the Governor Trinh Xuong and seventy-two of his family members. During the pursuit of fellow party members, he injured four hundred and thirty-one people, causing one hundred and ninety-six people to die..." The crowd was completely silent. The second version is Thanh Ha. The third version is Phong Duong. Every time there is a queen who escapes the palace. Every time there was her request. Each time, the dead were written as rebels, partisans, and rebels. Co Thinh Loan's face turned pale. She suddenly rushed forward and grabbed the military newspaper. "That's enough!" The paper she squeezed wrinkled. Tien Thi raised her head to look at her. Co Thinh Loan's chest heaved, tears fell freely. "These people didn't die because of me. Tieu Tan wanted to kill them, but I couldn't stop him." "So why did you still go to Nhan Hoi Quan?" Someone in the crowd asked. The person who spoke was an old man selling coal. His son went to Sung Chau to trade horses two years ago and has not returned since. Co Thinh Loan looked at him, her voice hoarse. "I have no choice." The old man took off the felt hat on his head and held it in his hand. "My son also has no choice." Co Thinh Loan's lips trembled. "I am willing to pay for my life." She suddenly pulled out the wooden hairpin from her hair and stabbed it towards her neck. There were screams all around. I immediately held her wrist tightly. The wooden brooch stops before the skin. Co Thinh Loan looked at me with tears in her eyes. "A Yeu, can't you even die?" I grabbed the wooden brooch and broke it into two pieces. "Your highness died in Nhan Hoi Quan, Tieu Tan has even more reason to massacre the city." "If you are dedicated to saving people, then live a decent life." "Wait for him to come, right in front of the whole city, to explain everything." Tears in her eyes immediately froze. hard. I turned around to look at everyone. "I can't guarantee whether the city gate will be destroyed or not." "But what will happen after opening the gate? The previous six citadels have already tried on our behalf." "Whoever is willing to stay should go prepare water, prepare food, and follow the arrangements of the city guards." "Who wants to stay?"

Go to the north gate to register, before dark you can go to the nearby villages to take refuge." No one said anything. A moment later, the old man selling coal picked up the military newspaper that had fallen on the ground and brushed off the snow on top. "I'll stay." He put his felt hat back on. "My son died in Sung Chau, not even his remains could be found." "This time I want to see if the queen's tears can finally stop the knife." 3 The cavalry team followed. The queen came back to search at dusk. A total of twelve things were brought back. Five pieces of jade engraved with phoenix patterns, three red silk strips imbued with the scent of cinnamon flowers, two dead carrier pigeons, and four maidservants tied behind a dry tree. One of them had three fingers cut off. The first thing she said after waking up was: "Next to the queen was Huyen Giap. guard.” Co Thinh Loan guided two palace maids into the city. Where Huyen Giap Ve went, no one knows. Tran Tinh immediately ordered a blockade of hotels, restaurants and vacant houses in the city. When I went to meet that good guy, he was huddled in the military medical tent drinking hot soup. The mouth of the bowl collided with the teeth, making broken clicking sounds. "How many of them are there?" I asked. “Six people, maybe eight.” Dich swallowed the soup, his face gray and white.
