Chapter 10 — Two Fathers

The sword collided with the long sword, sparks exploded in the darkness. Co Chieu's strength is terrifyingly great. My father was shaken back half a step, the sole of his shoe dragging on the stone floor made a shrill sound. Thuong rushed forward with his knife, but was stopped by another old armored man. Those people are not like living people. The sword slashed their shoulder blades, but they did not retreat. There was no blood flowing out, only thick black juice flowing down the wound. Uncle Tan supported Ta Vo Cuu, his voice was so urgent that he was hoarse. “Master, go.” Ta Vo Cuu did not go. That person's hand still covered my eyes. But I felt my fingertips were cold and trembling slightly. The fake crown prince stood behind the group of servants, slowly ringing the bell. "Commander Co, the Crown Princess is in front of you." "The child in her heart is the bloodline of the Crown Prince." "If you kill him, no one will be able to reverse the old sins of the East Palace." A low, broken roar emitted from Co Chieu's throat. His sword stance suddenly became chaotic. I looked through Ta Vo Cuu's fingers and saw that his blue-gray eyes seemed to sparkle with water. He is struggling. Even though he was trained into a monster and controlled by the bell, he still remembers. Ta Vo Cuu called out to him in a low voice. “Co Chieu.” The sword in Co Chieu's hand stopped. The fake crown prince's laughter turned cold. “Don't listen to him.” The bell suddenly rang loudly. Jingle jingle jingle. Co Chieu tilted his head back hard, the blue veins on his neck appeared like crawling worms. He was in so much pain that his whole body convulsed, but the tip of the sword stabbed again. This time, he didn't stab me. But stabbed Ta Vo Cuu. My heart clenched and I pushed Ta Vo Cuu's hand away. “Uncle Uncle.” As soon as that word was uttered, the tip of Co Chieu's sword stopped three inches from Ta Vo Cuu's chest. All were stunned. I poked my head out of Ta Vo Cuu's lap and stared at those gray-blue eyes. “Isn't he the one who saved me?” “If you still recognize that person, you will also recognize me, right?” Co Chieu's hands shook violently. The long sword made a small ringing sound. The pretend prince's face finally darkened. “Shut up.” With a flip of his wrist, a very small silver needle shot out from the bronze bell. The silver needle pierced the back of Co Chieu's neck. The light in Co Chieu's eyes immediately disappeared. He screamed, turned his hand and slashed a sword at my father. My father raised his sword to block, and the sword immediately shattered. The wind sword grazed his arm, carrying with it a patch of blood. "Father." I cried out in fright. Tham Hac Tranh did not frown. He used his bare hand to hold the edge of Co Chieu's sword, his palm was cut and bleeding profusely. “Co Chieu.” “The person you risked your life to protect is here.” “Open your eyes and see clearly.” Co Chieu stiffly turned his head. He looked at my father, then at Ta Vo Cuu, and finally at me. I don't know if a dead person can still cry or not. But at that moment, the corner of his eye rolled down a tear of red and black blood. The fake prince suddenly stopped smiling. He raised his hand, and all the old armored druids pressed forward at the same time. The secret passage is narrow, we are blocked in the stone chamber, we cannot retreat. Ta Vo Cuu bowed his head and looked at me. “A Dien, give me the jade button.” I was stunned and immediately took the jade button engraved with the word Ta from inside my chest. The jade button was stained with that person's blood and also stained with my sweat. Ta Vo Cuu grabbed the jade button and raised his hand to press on his wound. Blood quickly stained the jade's face red. Ba Tan's face changed greatly. “Master, no way.” Ta Vo Cuu did not pay attention to him. That person held up the jade button before Co Chieu's eyes. “Try to dominate.” “This is a thing that Your Highness personally tied on my wrist.” “If you still remember the Eastern Palace, please help me one last time.” Co Chieu stared at the jade button. An extremely low sound came from his throat. Like crying. Same as laughing. The fake crown prince suddenly rang the bell. “G.i.c.” Co Chieu moved. But his sword did not stab towards us. He suddenly turned around and cut off the bronze bell in the fake crown prince's hand with one sword. The bell immediately turned off. The pretend prince's face turned pale. Immediately after that, all the old armor drugs stopped at the same time. Co Chieu stood in place, his spine straightening little by little. He seemed to have turned back into the commander of the Eastern Palace guards twelve years ago. He knelt on one knee in front of Ta Vo Cuu, his voice broken to almost inaudible. “The end of General Co Chieu.” “Escort the lady v

Your Highness, come out of the palace." Ta Vo Cuu's eyes turned red. My father also turned away. But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, a wisp of green smoke suddenly emerged from the broken bronze bell. The fake crown prince held his broken wrist, revealing a malicious smile. “It's late.” "As soon as the bell breaks, the pharmacist will lose control, and all the organs in the secret passage will open." The four lost stone walls heard a heavy rumbling sound. The stone slab under my feet suddenly cracked. Before I could scream, my whole body fell down and the ground collapsed. 10 When I fell, my ears were filled with the sound of rocks breaking. Ta Vo Cuu raised his hand to catch me. I also risked my life to reach out to that person. But between us are falling rocks and dust. His fingertips grazed my sleeve. Immediately afterwards, the whole person splashed into the icy cold water. The cold came from all directions, like countless small needles piercing into the bones. I don't know how to swim. From a young age I knew how to ride a horse, shoot an archery, climb walls and steal meat, but I never learned to swim.
