Chapter 3 — Thien Ha Vo Nam

I said: "Tong Can, if I hadn't sent you out of the palace to do business and trouble, I wouldn't have encountered this unexplained disaster. Do you repent?" Her eyes brightened and she asserted: "Disasters will still come without cause. You should go out to widen the world, seeking the ability to defend yourself." 22 I set out again. This time, he gave most of his money and manpower to Tong Can, clearly telling his father that he wanted to travel to the mountains and water, and then only brought along Thuy Doanh, security guard Tieu and a few trusted people. The wind and sand are so foggy that they cannot cover the hearts of simple people. Together with the herdsmen, they drink milk and eat meat, and their days are extremely spacious. Vien Mao took his parents to the desert and often debated important matters with me, his face turning red when talking. I answer each question one by one, not to be outdone. At the end, he lamented: "You... are very similar to Giang Cong." But I have never met my grandfather: they passed away before the day I was born. Realizing that he had spoken out loud, he bowed his head: "Forgive me, I hurt you." Bac Di harassed, the dark guards gathered the herdsmen, formed a team of "Bao Gia Quan" to look like, and repelled the foreign people several times. "Bao Gia Quan" gradually grew stronger, became famous on foot, causing the enemy to gather a large army to surround us in the middle of the desert. When the water ran out of food, suddenly a strange soldier attacked and relieved the siege. The leading general is a handsome young man with the qualities to descend to earth. With just a glance, I knew: people were waiting, they had arrived.23I "picked up" another man, his name was Ly Hanh Ha. He is different from the previous people. He saved me when I was lonely; In conclusion, he was grateful to me, saying that he could "pick" me up. He and I looked at each other, said that his army was inconvenient to enter the capital, so he followed me home alone. I righteously led him into the Marquis Palace and told my father frankly: "I want to marry him." Father tested all my abilities, both literary and martial arts were superior. It's just a pity that the setting is lacking, an orphan in the desert. Father nodded: "Yes. But it's inconvenient." (in-law) After being away from the capital for more than three years, Tong Can married a woman and established his name. People say she doesn't talk about her family's appearance, doesn't discuss her virtues and virtues, she only talks about books and ethics. She was contentedly walking through all walks of life, finally choosing her favorite path. I was happy for her, but she was worried about me: "You really want to get married, so... break yourself?" I didn't answer, so on the wedding night I took her to the wedding room. She quickly waved her hand: "Big sister, I once said, I don't ask for anyone's heart and mind, I just want to follow my heart's direction. Besides, that's the person you love, I absolutely won't compete with you!" I scolded: "You have studied with the best people in the academy for three years, and you still see yourself in front of a man, only taking the form of a servant?" She regretted: "You are foolish." The night of the wedding did not sleep, the three of them talked until dawn. 24 The next day, on the big wedding day, the palace was still high in red lights, the new prime minister Luc Minh Vong came to propose, asking to marry the Thien Kim Marquis. Without hesitation, his father pushed Tong Can away. Tong Can filed a complaint against his father for mistreating his daughter; The letters were covered in blood, the back was full of whip marks and the documents of the servants of the Marquis Palace. Even though she was famous in the capital, the result was only to cut off her father and children and send Concubine Thuyen out to live alone. Breaking mountains is difficult. But she was excited and came to see me off, her whole body feeling light and airy. She was only confused: "Big sister, you just came back, why did you leave?" Luc Minh Vong insisted on marrying me and asked for a decree; He said he didn't mind me bringing Ly Hanh Ha into the Prime Minister's Palace. Except for the first few days I "picked up" him, there was no interaction between him and me; I don't believe even half of the "deep love" words he said. Who knows why he married me? But he and my father, one is the emperor's favorite, the other is an old lover, have made a great enemy; The fiercer this play, the happier I am. I'm just sorry I couldn't stay in the capital to watch, how frustrating! Ly Hanh Ha urged him to leave; behind, Thuy Doanh,

Tieu Hieu, my confidant, along with the servants of the Marquis and his family to testify for Tong Can, are all ready. Tong Can whispered: "Big sister, wait for the day to return." 25 Snow outside the pass piled up wall after wall. In the capital, the Marquis of Truong Binh and Prime Minister Luc Minh exchanged arrows and arrows and went back and forth many times. My father used to hunt down Luc Minh Vong, and when he retaliated, he was absolutely merciless. A new love is often difficult to beat an old love, my father gradually fell into disfavor, was oppressed by him every step of the way, and was eventually stripped of his title. As for Ly Hanh Ha and I, we huddled in the grass house, watching martial arts training and soldiers training. Bac Di was constantly harassed, the district orders reported several times to the court, but still slowly came to aid. The district commander lamented: "The matter of dust and dew drops, how can the heavens have the leisure to care about it?" I countered: "Bac Di sent troops to besiege my Bao Gia Quan, is it just dust and dew drops?" Thinking for a moment, I doubted: "Or is it the matter of Bac Di's military deployment, you have never reported? Is the court taking it so lightly?"The district commander was silent, just sighed.
