Chapter 7 — The Street They Live in Nhan Hoi Quan

Before going down the citadel wall, he told the soldiers: "Please return to the enemy tower. Without my military orders, you will not be allowed to enter the citadel again." Co Ting Loan's face changed slightly. "Trieu Khac, you dare to put this palace under house arrest?" Trieu Khac did not turn around. "The last general came to rebel against the city and already did it, keeping another queen under house arrest is not worth much." After Co Thinh Loan was taken down, Tran Tinh quickly ran over. "Lady Luc, the eunuch Tu is dead." "The body is right between the two soldiers." I leaned over and looked down at the citadel. An empty carriage slowly approached. The carriage arrived in front of the city gate and stopped. The eunuch was impaled with a spear on the plank of the cart, with a wooden board hanging in front of his chest. On the wooden board were written four words: "Working helplessly." In his previous life, before attacking the city, Tieu Tan also killed someone. He sent a Huyen Armored Guard to escape back to the front of the battle, telling everyone that backing down would have the same outcome. Today the person who died was Tu eunuch. He was telling Co Thinh Loan, and also telling the people hiding in the city. An hour has passed. In the Huyen Giap army camp, the heavy sound of war drums rang out. The first row of archers walked out of the barracks. They did not shoot arrows towards the city wall. Countless rockets flew through the battlements and fell on people's houses in the city. Tieu Tan did not wait for morning. He wanted to cause chaos in Nhan Hoi Quan tonight. 5The first series of rockets fell on West Street. There, houses are close together, most people make a living by trading leather and wooden products. As soon as the fire broke out, the water carrying teams that had been waiting everywhere immediately rushed forward. Wooden barrels are connected in a long row, well water is passed one barrel at a time. Some roofs were hit by arrows, and the fire that had just started was extinguished by a wet felt sheet. Tieu Tan waited half a moment, but couldn't wait to see chaos in the city. The second series of rockets immediately fell. This time, he fired towards the military barracks and hospital. Trieu Khac stood on the city wall and commanded the crossbowmen to counterattack. Nhan Hoi Quan was in a high position looking down, Huyen Giap Quan temporarily did not dare to approach. I lead people to patrol the city. But Tien Thi's silk shop is closed. Everyone around her was fighting the fire, only inside the walls of her house it was strangely quiet. The old coal seller ran over carrying a bucket of water, lowering his voice. "Lady Luc, just now I saw Mrs. Tien leading a few foreigners inside." "How long has it been?" "The war drums just sounded." I signaled the city guards to surround the silk shop. The door is locked from the inside. Tran Tinh kicked off with a kick. The front yard was filled with silk, all the juniors hid in the corners. Tien Thien stood in front of the door leading to the backyard, her face pale. "What are you doing?" "There are assassins in the city, check according to the rules." "There are no assassins in my house!" "Get away." Tien Thien spread her hands. "I am the Queen's benefactor! My daughter serves at Phuong Nghi Palace, she herself promised to keep the Tien family safe." Finally, she turned over her trump card. In his previous life, Tieu Tan truly did not hate the Tien family. Because Tien Thi hid sixteen people for the Huyen Giap army in advance, and also opened the West Street sewer when the citadel was destroyed. A huge fire broke out, people had no place to get water, that's why so many people died. I pulled out my knife. "Tien Thi harbors enemy soldiers, capture them." She shouted shrilly. "Luc Kien Yeu, why did you arrest me! The Queen is in the city, you dare to touch me, she will not forgive you!" The army guarding the city pressed her down. Suddenly there was a sound of window breaking in the back yard. Six men dressed in popular clothes climbed the wall and rushed out. Two of them carried oil bottles in their hands. Archer

The ambush outside the wall immediately shot arrows. Four people fell on the spot, the remaining two retreated into the hospital. I led people to rush into the backyard. The smell of oil was so strong that it choked my nose. Next to the well were more than ten wooden barrels. There was no water in the barrels, all was kerosene. Under the silk shop floor, an underground sewer was dug, connecting directly to the public well on West Street. They prepare to pour oil into the well. Once people scoop water to put out the fire, what is pulled up will be barrels of oil to help the fire burn stronger. Tien Thien was escorted in. As soon as she saw the wooden crates, her legs immediately became weak. "I don't know." She knelt on the ground. "They said they only borrowed my house to hide for one night." The old coal seller was so angry that he was trembling. "Just now you said there was no one in the house." Tien Thien cried and hugged his legs. "Elder Trieu, I'm also for everyone. Your Majesty's people have said, just help them work, after the citadel is destroyed, the whole West Street can be saved." keep it.” The old man bowed his head and looked at her. “Pho Tay can keep it, so why pour oil into the well?” Tien Thi opened her mouth, her cries choked. The remaining two Huyen Giap guards retreated into the firewood room and pulled out a woman. That woman, wearing the uniform of a female official of Phuong Nghi Palace, was Tien Tu, Tien Thi's daughter. The blade was on Tien Tu's neck. Tien Thien rushed forward crazy. "Don't harm my daughter!"
