Hoa Lu was the name of the town 600 years ago. Vu’s way of speaking was also old. Minh cried because he didn’t understand what he meant.
Minh thought, “It’s time travel.”
They talked and soon became friends.
When Minh woke up, he thought, “Where am I?”
A young man named Vu said, “You are in Hoa Lu.”
After talking and talking, Vu said, ”My father and mother died.” The king died and the queen said, “Vu’s family did it.” Then Vu’s family was killed. Vu’s mother told Vu, “We did not do it.”
This is the Le Chi Vien case. Vu’s mother helped Vu escape.

Minh wanted to help Vu. Minh and Vu practiced martial arts hard, so they could work at the palace as guards.
Fortunately, Minh and Vu were able to join the palace guard. They searched for the real reason why Vu’s family died, but they lost their way in the palace grounds. They were spotted in a restricted area, so they ran. Then they found a beautiful box, but it was locked. Minh thought it must be from Vu’s father. But they were caught. The queen was angry at Minh and Vu.
At that moment, a man from the palace hit Minh and the darkness came over his eyes again.
When Minh woke up, he was in the present world. Minh was able to give his presentation on the Le Chi Vien case. The teacher said, “Very good, Minh!”
While preparing his presentation, Minh was worried about his friend, Vu – but he didn’t want to travel through time anymore.
