Yên Dông province, Imperial Kingdom of Hôinôm | Septem, 1593
Bûi Thành Quyên suddenly woke up, struggling to remember where he was. He could feel his right leg wounded and his own hair stained with blood, and his hands hancuffed behind. All he could remember is how they convoy, in the withdrawing from the northern district of Yên Dông, was hit by enemy artillery, either a rocket or an airstrike, and then his memories started to fade away. He only remembered that he recovered conscience only a few minutes later, surrounded by Bhmer militiamen and several Hoinomese soldiers either dead or wounded, and how he received a bow with a rifle bow on the head, and several men started to beat him while on the floor. He expected to be killed, but a man for some reason ordered them to stop. He did not remember how he ended in that room or where he was exactly. His fate was not very promising, but at this point he didn't fear death.
General Bûi Thành Quyên had spent most of the conflict in the northern region, trying to end the anti-government revolt first and later fighting the separatist insurgency, after being appointed by Prime Minister Quang Công Quang as military governor of the region. He had not been part in General Lê Công Thuân's conspiration, although rumours of a coming coup d'etat were known in some military circles for weeks. Bûi didn't disapprove them, although he expected that the military leadership was going to act only to pressure the Empress to accept a military government, instead of the failed coup d'etat on Dein 1590. While he had not supported General Lê, he saw no point in resigning or opposing the coup, and remained in his position coordinating the war effort in the northern provinces with General Kiêu Công Trai.
Suddenly, the door opened. Three men entered. One of them gave orders to the other two, but Bûi was not able to listen to what he had said. He thought that his ear could have been damaged during the attack. Or maybe he was beat on the head too harshly. Although he did not feel any pain, Bûi thought, just he couldn't hear as well as before.
The men forced Bûi to stand up, while he was barely able to do, and put some dark bag on his head. He fear his life was going to end soon, or maybe they were going to torture demanding some information. When he protested, one of the men punched him on the face. They forced him to walk, but he was close to fall several times. Already on the street, they put him into some car, likely a truck or a van, he thought, which soon started to move.
At some point, he felt asleep. When he woke up, he had not idea how much time they had been travelling, as he didn't know if it was day or night. About two hours later, they car finally stopped. He could hear one of the men in the vehicle talking with someone from outside, but either he couldn't listen anything or he felt that they weren't talking in Hoinomese. They car continued the travel, but this time slowly. A few minutes later the car stopped again, but this time the other men left the vehicle. They left him there about twenty minutes. Then, they forced him to leave the car and move again.
Bûi could hear how a door was open, and also the sound from some birds - which made Bûi to think that maybe his hearing was not that affected. They removed the bag which covered his head and push him inside. Bûi fell and hurt his forehead with the ground. Suddenly, they could hear how the door was closed and locked up. Still handcuffed, Bûi struggle to stand up and move toward the nearby bed.
He looked around and saw that he was alone in some kind of small cabin. He approached one of the windows, but it was too dirty to see anything clearly. The only thing he could see were some mountain range on the backgroud, but Bûi was not able to recognize. It was not similar to any place that he had seen during his travels in the northern region.
He sat down again in the nearby bed, which covered by dust. In any case, he was too tired, and soon he fell asleep.
