Chapter 4 — The Street They Live in Nhan Hoi Quan

"All of them were wearing normal merchant clothes. The Queen changed horses at the service station. They pulled us into the backyard and asked how many troops were stationed at Nhan Hoi Quan recently." "Did the Queen see?" He nodded, then quickly shook his head. "Before getting on the carriage, the princess looked at the backyard once. The villain had called for help, you must have heard." "What did you say?" The bowl in his hand stopped moving. "You told them not to. harm our lives." "What happens after that?" "They said, you can rest assured, just borrow your clothes and identity for a little bit." Dich Duc lowered his head, looking at his hand wrapped in cloth. "If we don't say the command to enter the city, they will..." He did not continue. I ordered someone to get him a thick shirt. Before leaving the tent, he suddenly called me back. "Lady Luc." "When the lady left, she left a sentence." "You said you must reach Nhan Hoi Quan before dawn, otherwise your majesty's people will catch up, everyone will die." My footsteps stopped. "Who are you?" Dich Cao smiled bitterly. "At that time, the villains thought they included us." Those Huyen Giap guards had changed into Dich's mandarin uniforms, very may have infiltrated the city. What they need to do is not difficult. Burned the grain warehouse, opened the city gate, and assassinated Co Thinh Loan. Any incident is enough to give Tieu Tan a reason to send troops. I left his tent and met my father's deputy, Trieu Khac. He had just returned from Bac Linh, his armor was covered with ice. "The general is still pursuing the Ho cavalry in Bac Linh, he will return in two days at the earliest." Trieu Khac threw the horsewhip on the table. "Luc Kien Yeu, have you imprisoned the queen?" "Detained." "And hung her private letter on the wall?" "Hang it." Trieu Khac looked at me for a long time, so angry that he burst out laughing. "Before leaving, the general gave you temporary custody of the documents, not telling you to replace him." creating a rebellion." "I am not creating a rebellion." "Arbitrarily imprisoning the mother of the country, closing the city gates, is this any different from creating a rebellion?" "When Tieu Tan arrives, the difference will be very clear." Trieu Khac lowered his voice. "Let her go. There is still time to get her out of the city." "Where to take her?" "You can go wherever you want." "She wants three hundred cavalry escorts." Trieu Khac was stunned. "How do you know?" Trieu Khac was also in his previous life. used to stand here. He said that the queen's status is noble, and a few people cannot protect her. Among those three hundred horsemen was his only son. When the head of the little general of the Trieu family was placed on a spear by the Huyen Giap army and brought back to the city, Trieu Khac did not cry even if he cried. That night, he opened the armory, distributed all the weapons to everyone, and himself died at the south gate. I looked at his sideburns, which were still not gray. "This morning you told Tran Tinh that you want three hundred cavalry to take you to the North." Trieu Khac's face darkened. "You brought a fire signal and a map to defend the pass, and you want us to send three hundred cavalry to escort you." "Do you still think you should let her go?" He didn't answer. Outside the tent came the sound of hurried footsteps. A soldier rushed in. "Deputy general Trieu, the western food warehouse is on fire!" Trieu Khac and I rushed out of the military tent at the same time. Thick smoke rose into the sky. All around the grain warehouse are wooden houses. In the dry winter, once the fire spreads, even half of the citadel cannot hold. Many people carried a bucket of water and ran towards it. I grabbed the soldier and reported the news. "Where is the man guarding the grain warehouse?" "His throat was cut." "Where did the fire come from?" "The east and west were on fire at the same time, and someone threw oil inside!" Huyen Giap Guard took action. I threw myself onto the horse. "Deputy General Trieu, lead people to put out the fire. Tran Tinh blocked the nearby streets, only letting in, not letting out." Trieu Khac held my reins. "Where are you going?" "Dich Lau." Burn the warehouse.

salary is just the first step. If something happened to Co Thinh Loan at this time, the entire play would be considered complete. When we ran to the enemy castle, four soldiers guarding the citadel fell outside the gate. Someone wearing military armor climbed out of the second floor window. I drew my bow and immediately shot. The other person was hit by an arrow in the shoulder but did not stop. After falling to the ground, he immediately rolled into the alley. "Chase!" The female soldier broke through the door and rushed in. The room was full of smoke. Co Thinh Loan fell to the ground, her hands and feet tied. A palace maid lay prone next to her, with a sword stuck in front of her chest. The remaining palace maid has no trace. I squatted down and cut the rope. Co Thinh Loan coughed violently and grabbed my arm. "Someone wants to kill me." There was finally genuine fear on her face. "Tieu Tan wants to kill me." I checked the side of her neck. There was only a very shallow blood stain. But the other palace maid had already stopped breathing. The murderer rushed in, killed the palace maid, tied up Co Thinh Loan, set fire to the canopy, giving her enough time to escape. It's more like an assassination performed for others to see. "Who did it?" "I didn't see clearly." She gasped, pointing at the dead palace maid. "Thanh Hoa blocked a knife for me." I turned the palace maid's hand up. Her palms were stained with black ash, and between her fingernails there were bits of red wax.
