Chapter 8 — Trung Trinh Guest

We stayed for two days, and finally the rain stopped. Heard me say I want to go to the ferry to Tu Chau. Two old women advised me to stay a few more days. "Looking from the outside... it doesn't look peaceful." Because it's not peaceful, I can't stay longer. There was famine ahead, and later there was still war. If we stay one more day, we will waste another day of food for both of us. What's more... if the pursuing army comes here. That would be a great disaster for the two of them. Before parting, I quietly left half of the gold brooches and jewelry in the house. The remaining half was given to Buffalo Dung Tu. Even though it's not as valuable as food, it's still more or less useful. "If there's a chance..." "You two should still go to the South sooner rather than later." I advised. The two old women looked at each other and shook their heads and sighed. "Our two sons... are still defending the Northern Cuong." But soon, the two of them smiled proudly again. "Now it's just a famine." "We will overcome it." "They are all under the General's command." "The reputation of the General and his wife is illustrious everywhere." "With those two people here... we will absolutely not let the Ho people violate our people." Confidence was evident on their faces. them. Those glowing eyes... made my heart ache even more. I put the veil back on and said goodbye to the two of you and continued on our way. Look far away. What is the path to life? In my previous life, I only knew how to wallow in my own pain. The road ahead always has an coffin and Vien Tu Quan takes care of it. Even on the escape route to the South... I traveled with the convoys of the noble families, without worrying about anything. Just follow the flow of people and overcome hardships. And now I'm the only one left. "Miss!" I turned my head in surprise, Dung Tu Buffalo was carrying a small bundle on her shoulder. Panting, I ran after him. "Aren't you going back to the city?" I asked in surprise. For her, going to Vien Tu Quan to receive his protection... is the best choice. She shook her head. "Or is it lack of money?" I touched her body. But there's nothing worthwhile anymore. She still shook her head. "According to me... it's very dangerous." "I'm afraid I can't protect you." I didn't try to act strong but spoke honestly. Dung Tu buffalo blushed and bowed his head slightly. "I..." "I can also protect you." Seeing that I was still hesitant, she impatiently said: "I know the way to the ferry to the South." "My hometown... is in Tu Chau."... In the end... I still took her with me. Getting closer to the ferry station. The news they heard made people feel even more uneasy. "Have you heard?" "Luoyang has sealed the citadel!" "The Tinh and Du provinces are conscripting soldiers." "Are they about to fight each other?" "Aren't these kings all of the same family?" "What else are you fighting for?" "What else are you fighting for?" "The royal throne!" In the citadel near the ferry wharf. Most of the people passing by are traders. Everyone was impatiently jostling in front of the station at the wharf. Up ahead there are soldiers checking travel documents. Me and Zou Dung Tu smeared ash on our faces and mingled in the crowd. Take a look around. Didn't see any familiar faces. My heart immediately sank. In the middle of jostling, someone suddenly bumped into my shoulder. As a tall man wearing a conical hat, he bent down to help pick up the fallen fake travel document. The voice was low, it was Lac Duong's mandarin. "Sorry." At first I didn't pay attention. But at that moment, under the brim of his hat, a piece of his neck accidentally appeared. On it… there was a tattoo. They are the wings of an eagle. My pupils shrink. We are tightening our grip on Dung Tu Buffalo. Hanzi stood up. Glanced at the travel document and then handed it back. Casually started a conversation: "Going to Tu Chau?" "We also go shopping." "The road is not easy." "How about we go together?"Zu Dung Tu looked at me. Quickly took the passport. Then he smiled and replied in a low voice.

Ngo: "No need, no need." "We two sisters are just going back to the hometown to visit our relatives." "Our family is ahead!" She said it matter-of-factly and then smiled and pulled my hand. I even pretended to call out loudly to the front: "Father..." "We're here!" I was about to pull her hand away. But seeing the eyes of the man behind him still clinging tightly and not letting go, cold sweat immediately poured down his back. I lowered my voice. "Go quickly." "Split up!" In the letter... my father once said. Only foreign tribes on the outskirts consider tattoos as beliefs. Tay Nhung people worship... the Ung God. Dung Tu buffalo refused to let go. She held me tightly. Despite the complaints of everyone around, they desperately rushed forward. Her voice was also trembling, but she still tried to comfort me. "It's okay." "Hurry up." "Just get on the boat and we'll be fine." I was so impatient that I was sweating. "You don't need your life anymore?" "Don't let me get involved." "Quickly let go!" In panic, I secretly turned my head to look. Tay Nhung, pretending to be a Han, had a gloomy face and was striding through the crowd, walking straight towards us. Damned. In an emergency, I suddenly shouted loudly at the soldiers: "There is a Nhung enemy!" "There is a traitor!" In the blink of an eye, chaos everywhere. The sound of swords being pulled, the screams, everyone scrambled to get on the boat and escape. The lights and swords were chaotic. I pulled Dung Tu Buffalo and ran away. Feeling like my heart is about to jump out of my chest. The criminals... there's not just one name. There were even... soldiers rushing to arrest me. Surely King of Jin Liu Shao knew that he had a jade sister and a decree on his person. In my previous life, I only knew that Ha Gian Vuong colluded with the people of Tien Ti Doan. Unexpectedly, Liu Thieu also colluded with Tay Rong people! Hurry... Faster... Just get on the boat. Just need to get to Jiangnan. Unexpectedly, the hand that was holding tightly suddenly loosened.
