They talk and there is compatibility between them. Also Soan Cu became familiar with Swi Nio. This Hell Island girl who is still green is very happy to hear Swi Nio's experience, on the other hand Swi Nio is also amazed at the beautiful girl who turns out to be a person from Hell Island who is only known in fairy tales, amazed at the prowess of Soan Cu's intelligence and also horrified to witness powerful and ferocious weapons. The four of them departed back east to Tian-an, the city of the first king that had fallen into the hands of An Lu Shan.
After successfully occupying Lok-yang through intense fighting, An Lu Shan led his main army towards Tiantian. Again he had to face staunch resistance in the Tung Kuan Valley, but after he occupied this valley, his troops continued to press and marched towards Tianhan. Thus, Tiang-an, the magnificent capital city, was attacked and occupied very easily, with almost no resistance at all.
This was because many of his accomplices and spies, led by Ouwyang Cin Cu and The Kwat Lin, had already caused chaos that weakened the defense. What's more, the Emperor had also fled and left the king's city of Tian-an, this made the guard troops lose heart and most of them declared surrender without going through a long battle, some fled following the Emperor's entourage to the west.
As always happens in times of war, from ancient times before recorded history until now, terrible consequences have occurred and befell the losers of the war. Likewise the fate of the nobles in the king's city who did not have time to escape. Many people were killed simply by the fingers of other people who slandered them, saying that the person was a spy for the government. Corpses lay strewn along the streets and members of the rebel forces that won the war feasted on transporting the property and women of the losing side.
The screams of women who were forced and raped soared high into the sky, mixed with cheers and laughter of victory. And An Lu Shan, who was an expert in commanding troops, deliberately let it happen so that the blood that was surging in the chests of his men could be cooled down. A few days later, after his men had their heart's content and had their fill of harassing women and seizing property left to run away, an order appeared prohibiting such behavior.
But An Lu Shan also did not forget his promises to his servants who had served him well. Royally he then distributed the ranks, the former residence of the nobles who fled or were killed, distributed the property and the beautiful princesses who became captives. So for several months of partying, An Lu Shan's henchmen received the gifts. Of course An Lu Shan paid more attention to the formidable helpers and whose help they still hoped for. To these he gave still greater gifts.
He did not break his promise to the maids who made great contributions like The Kwat Lin, the former Queen of the Ice Island. So after the occupation of Tiang-an, the son of The Kwat Lin named Han Bu Ong passed

awarded the rank of prince! The Kwat Lin himself was appointed commander of the guard, while Ouwyang Cin Cu was appointed koksu (teacher of state adviser). You can imagine how excited The Kwat Lin's heart was. His dream has been achieved, his son has become a prince and if he is good at managing it, who knows, there will be opportunities for his sons to become Emperor! It is not surprising what The Kwat Lin has in mind as this ideal.
It is normal for us humans in this world to always be slaves of our own ideals. This whole life seems to be controlled and regulated by our respective ideals. We are immersed in fantasies and dreams, not knowing how much dreams can destroy our lives. Ideals make our eyes always look far ahead full of hope to achieve something we aspire to. Eyes that are always aimed at a future that doesn't yet exist, hands that reach forward to always pursue what we don't have yet, make us live like in a shadow.
It is impossible for us to enjoy life, even though life is moment by moment, now, not a future which is an imaginary shadow, nor a past that has died. Once we give ourselves up to ideals, we will be bound by them for the rest of our lives because no goal can be completely fulfilled, and we are dragged into a vicious cycle that never ends. Getting one wants two, getting two chasing three and so on, that's the goal!
We will continue to pursue all of that until death takes our lives, even at the threshold of the grave even when death approaches, we are still gripped by our ideals, namely aspirations for the future after death! How is it possible for us to enjoy this life if our eyes always look to the future that doesn't exist yet? On the other hand, a person who is free from ideals, free from past and future, can live life moment by moment!
Likewise with The Kwat Lin. His dream was achieved by appointing his son to become a prince, but where did his dream end? Not at all! far from enough or sold out! She had just started her new, even greater dream, which was to see her son become emperor! Because of this dream, the situation at that time did not feel happy, it even felt very lacking. Only prince! Only the commander in chief! Far compared to her son becoming the emperor and her becoming the queen mother!
Many people argue, saying that ideals bring progress, without ideals we will not progress. What is that goal? What is progress? Aspiration is a desire for something that is not yet available to us. And this kind of desire is an impulse of lust that knows no satiety, the more it is obeyed, the more hungry and thirsty it is, wanting more. And finally it will be difficult to distinguish from greed, greed that brings conflict, hostility and misery.
And what is progress? It is a common opinion that progress is worldliness, possessions, position, fame. Does 'progress' like this bring happiness? Only those who already have a well-known name are able to answer, and the answer is definitely NO! On the contrary, the more positions or big names, the tighter we are attached to the world, the more the tribulations of life we suffer in the form of disappointment, conflict and worry. Because what is certain, only those who still have an inner heart will lose! Loss means disappointment, grief whereas before the loss, we are gnawed by worry.
However, at that time no one was seen, because at that time the people living in the capital city were gripped by great fear. As usual after the war ended, it was the people who were their target who obtained the victory. The new troop members roamed in and out of the village, going in and out of people's houses as if they were their own, it was not uncommon for them to enter other people's bedrooms as if they were entering their own bedroom while dragging the young mistress of the house or their daughters! Like the superiors who throw a big party, the lowly people also have a party with their own style. As usual, the residents are only good at crying and complaining to Thian as their only entertainment.
By midnight, the party was still very crowded. Ouwyang Cin Cu as a person with a very high position now, a koksu, came just to say goodbye and didn't stay long. But the new bodyguards, of course those with officer ranks and above, were still having a big party

because indeed The Kwat Lin wanted to win the hearts of these colleagues, who later he hoped for their help. Even when the guests of important people had left the party venue half drunk and the place was getting quiet, The Kwat Lin still detained the dignitaries who numbered dozens of people to be invited to negotiate about their new duties as palace guards, even they were its governing council.
After midnight, the guests had gone home and all that was left were the fourteen chief bodyguards who were now being entertained and consulted in the inner room, while the outer room where the party was being held was being cleaned by a number of servants who looked tired and sleepy. It was at that moment that the shadows of three people flashed. The maids who were cleaning the place where the former party was held only saw a flashing shadow and suddenly in that place two beautiful women and a manly man were already standing in a haunted manner!
Of course the maids were very surprised and thought that these strange people who moved very fast must be friends of their master who was also famous for being shrewd. So one of them greeted while juggling and said, "Dear Sam-wi is a little late because the party has broken up."
"We don't want a party," the middle-aged woman answered coolly. "We want to meet your master."
Seeing this cool and dignified demeanor, the servants became frightened and two of them quickly entered the inner room where The Kwat Lin was negotiating with his colleagues.
The woman, Liu Bwee, was silently signaling with her eyes to Swat Hong, her daughter. Swat Hong nodded and with a very fast movement this girl had jumped and slipped away from there, while her mother and Ouw Sian Kok had already dashed into the room when she saw the maid had gone to report. Just as the two maids entered the inner room and before they could utter a word, the door was wide open and Liu Bwee and Ouw Sian Kok had jumped inside.
"Hey! Who...?!" The Kwat Lin's screams stopped and his face turned pale when he saw the appearance of the woman who of course he knew very well.
She turned pale with fright at the thought that her ex-husband, Han Ti Ong, the King of Ice Island whom she feared so much, had appeared. However, when he saw that the man who came with Liu Bwee was not Han Ti Ong, his heart was relieved and he bravely jumped forward. Twice he kicked, sending two of his servants flying out of the room, then faced Liu Bwee with a mocking smile. "Aih, I think the outcast woman who came to stir up and take lives!" he snapped.
"A despicable woman who has a devil's heart! You have received kindness from my husband, raised you from the valley of humiliation to a place of glory, instead you repaid him with betrayal! You and your illegitimate child must die in my hands!"
"Foul mouth!" The Kwat Lin cursed back and as soon as his hand moved, a red light appeared from the Ang-bwe-kiam Sword in his right hand, then without waiting any longer, the red light had rushed forward to attack Liu Bwee.
"Cringgg...!!" sparks flashed and The Kwat Lin took two steps backwards while looking at Ouw Sian Kok who had parried his sword with a sword in hand, a block that made his arm tremble, a sign that the man who had come with Liu Bwee was also very intelligent.
"Who are you?!" he snapped, while his colleagues, fourteen officers and the commander in chief of the bodyguards, had already drawn their weapons and locked themselves in, waiting for The Kwat Lin to need their help.
Ouw Sian Kok, who understood that he, along with Liu Bwee and Han Swat Hong, had entered the tiger cave and were in grave danger, deliberately bought time to give him a chance.

to Swat Hong, who was assigned by his mother to sneak into the palace to find and reclaim the Ice Island heirlooms. Only in this way could the inheritances be reclaimed. He laughed and stroked his beard, while Liu Bwee was ready and standing back to back with Ouw Sian Kok, knowing that they would certainly face beatings and therefore had to be able to protect each other.
"Ha-ha-ha! You ask who I am? I'm an outcast too! My name is Ouw Sian Kok from Hell Island!"
Hearing this The Kwat Lin was secretly surprised and astonished as well. She had heard from her ex-husband, the King of Ice Island, that the exiles on Hell Island weren't just random people, and many of them were even highly intelligent. But because he believed in his own cleverness, also felt safe among the guards and more so now that he was in his palace in the king's city, he looked down on him. "Humph, presumably the lowly and despicable castaways of Hell Island."
Ouw Sian Kok who wanted to stall for time laughed again to distract The Kwat Lin. "Ha- ha-ha! Even though we residents of Hell Island are outcasts, it would be difficult to find one of us with such a low character to betray someone who has helped and bestowed kindness on us like you did, The Quat Lin!"
"Despicable human! Die!!" "Sing-sing-singgggg...!!"
Ouw Sian How come you understand this woman's shrewdness. So he quickly dodged, parried and counterattacked while exerting all his strength and agility. He took out his savings. There was a very great duel between these two highly knowledgeable people. Seeing how Ouw Sian Kok, as planned, had to face The Kwat Lin while keeping up with his opponent, Liu Bwee quickly turned his sword and faced the mob of dozens of bodyguards. His sword moved violently, and in just ten moves he had knocked down two bodyguards. The others still surrounded her as none of them dared to help The Kwat Lin, seeing how the woman's shadow and her opponent's shadow vanished into one rolled by their sword beams.
The Kwat Lin's heart began to worry when he found out that Ouw Sian Kok was a formidable and equal opponent to him. Meanwhile, even though there were a lot of his colleagues, they were unable to keep up with Liu Bwee's fury, so that several of them fell down in succession!
"Seek help from the fortress!" forced The Kwat Lin to scream loudly.
Hearing this, one of the guards immediately ran outside to ask for reinforcements. Seeing this dangerous behavior, Ouw Sian Kok became worried too. Why isn't Swat Hong back yet?
"Quickly knock them down and help me defeat this him!" he said to Liu Bwee when he saw how Liu Bwee was not so difficult to push his bullies.
Liu Bwee also understands the shrewdness of The Kwat Lin. He knew that no matter how shrewd Ouw Sian Kok was, it was still very difficult to win against that woman. So he spun his blade even faster, knocking down three more people. At that moment a nimble shadow flashed and we saw Swat Hong who was carrying a sword and on his back was a bundle of red silk.
"Mother, I did it...!" shouted Swat Hong as he lunged forward and knocked down the two men who beat up his mother.
Seeing this, The Kwat Lin became very angry. It is known to him that he got tricked. He could guess what was in the red silk bundle, the red silk he was so familiar with. The Ice Island Relics are in the hands of Swat Hong!

"Bastard! Give back the relics!" he snapped and his body suddenly lunged at Swat Hong, his sword piercing his throat his left hand reaching towards his back.
"Tranggg...!" Liu Bwee staggered and almost collapsed after parrying The Kwat Lin's sword. A bodyguard bumped into him, but the bodyguard was thrown with his chest broken because he was kicked by Liu Bwee.
Meanwhile, Swat Hong was able to fend off The Kwat Lin's sword that was attacking him again. Ouw Sian Kok had also jumped and lunged at The Kwat Lin so they had another great match.
"Hong-ji, you save the relics first!" suddenly Liu Bwee shouted to his daughter. "We'll catch up quickly!" Ouw Sian Kok also said to Swat Hong.
Swat Hong saw that there were only five bodyguards left and they were not a big opponent for his mother, while Ouw Sian Kok was also able to restrain Kwat Lin. He therefore nodded, and with a flash he jumped out.
"Hold him...! Don't run away from the Ice Island heirloom...!" Kwat Lin screamed angrily, but he couldn't catch up because Ouw Sian Kok's sword beam blocked him with powerful attacks.
The Kwat Lin was forced to muster his strength to push Ouw Sian Kok and in this very great anger his strength increased so that Ouw Sian Kok cried out in surprise and backed away because his left shoulder was bleeding, slightly injured when he was grazed by a reddish sword beam.
When Swat Hong ran outside very fast, he was shocked to death to see an army of guards rushing into the palace from the outside door, fully armed, led by Ouwyang Cin Cu himself! Confused him. Pusaka must be saved, but how could he leave his mother who was in danger of death?
While he was hesitating and peering from where he was hiding, he suddenly saw the flashing shadows of four people. He was overjoyed when he found out that two of them were Kwee Lun and Soan Cu. Quickly he jumped out, calling out softly, "Kwee-toako! Soan Cu...!!"
Soan Cu and Kwee Lun were surprised and stopped, as well as Swi Nio and Liem Toan Ki who came with them. When he saw that the person who had appeared from behind the tree outside the palace was Swat Hong, Kwee Lun became overjoyed, but Soan Cu scowled. How could his heart feel excited to meet the girl who caused envy in his heart before?
However, the excited Swat Hong of course couldn't see the sullen face in the dimly lit place, so he quickly said, "Soan Cu, your father is inside with my mother, being surrounded by guards."
Immediately Soan Cu's face went pale and he stared blankly, until he stuttered for a long time, "My... my... father...?"
"Right! We have to help him," said Swat Hong again.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's help your parents!" Kwee Luna said.
"Wait a minute... who are these two people?" Swat Hong asked while pointing at Swi Nio and Liem Toan Ki.
"My name is Mrs. Swi Nio, Han Swat Hong's younger sister. I have heard your name from these two brothers and I feel amazed. You know that I used to be a student of The Kwat Lin, but now I want to find and kill him." Swi Nio said excitedly. "And I was General An Lu Shan's spy, but I fought not for rank, but for revenge. Now I want to help him... er, my fiancé is to face The Kwat Lin."
