Then the people under Yelu Kokand were surrounding Tie Hanyi. Mu Hanyi's eyebrows did not leave his hand, only a few inches away from the vital point of Yelu Aoshuang's temple, and Yelu Kokand and the guards did not dare to shoot arrows or cast hidden weapons, and the two sides were frozen there.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of horses' hooves getting closer, Mu Hanyi and Yelu Kokand looked in the direction where the sound came, only to see Hu Zhenbang galloping on horseback, he could see it really in the moonlight, he had a burden on his back, and he thought he had brought a book.

Mu Hanyi couldn't help but be overjoyed, but Yelu Kokand was mixed, happy that his daughter's crisis was lifted, and worried that the important book "Wujing General Essentials" was given away, which was really unwilling.

Hu Zhenbang rode his horse forward and bowed his hand to Yelu Kokand and said: "Great Marshal, I have obtained the twelve volumes of the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts" from General Kulao. Yelu Kohan nodded, turned to Mu Hanyi and said, "Let's exchange!"

Mu Hanyi smiled: "This is a happy business!" stretched out his hand and said, "Bring it!" Hu Zhenbang said: "If you get the book but don't let it go, what will happen?" Mu Hanyi smiled: "You reminded me that your book must also be tested for authenticity?" Hu Zhenbang said: "If you don't believe it, then I will let you test it first." With that, he turned over and dismounted, walked to Mu Hanyi, untied his burden, and handed it over with both hands.

Mu Hanyi saw that his movements were clean and neat, and there was no hidden weapon in his hand, so he immediately relaxed his guard and reached out to pick it up, and when he was a few inches away from the burden, Hu Zhenbang threw the burden higher than the top of Mu Hanyi's head, and when Mu Hanyi raised his eyes. Hu Zhenbang pointed to a little Yelu Aoshuang shoulder well, Yelu Aoshuang was unobstructed, and shouted: "General Hu save me!" Hu Zhenbang made a successful move, and immediately backhanded Yelu Aoshuang was hugged off Mu Hanyi's horse, he threw the book and saved people, and he did it in one go.

Mu Hanyi immediately waved out the moth eyebrow thorn in his hand, breaking the burden that fell in the air, and many books flew out of the baggage, which could be seen in the firelight, and it was actually some irrelevant books such as "Book of Songs", "Analects" and "Spring and Autumn". She knew that she was deceived, and said angrily: "The dignified general of the Liao State is so treacherous. ”

Hu Zhenbang said with a smile: "The art of war is cloudy, and soldiers are not tired of cheating, don't you know?" Mu Hanyi snorted and said: "Only Han people love to make these tricks the most, but I didn't expect you, the Khitan, to be so treacherous." It turned out that she only said that Hu Zhenbang was a Khitan.

Seeing this scene, Yelu Kokand also knew that Hu Zhenbang handed over not the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts", and saw that Hu Zhenbang saved his daughter, he was overjoyed and shouted: "Catch this person quickly." Don't let her run. ”

Mu Hanyi sneered, jumped up, the white horse was not only tall and abnormal, but also magical, even more than one person tall on the spot, the four hooves were like four swarthy hammers, smashed from top to bottom, how dare the guards block, scattered to avoid, Mu Hanyi rushed out of the encirclement, galloped to the southeast, and disappeared in an instant.

Jerod Kohan knew that she was a horsepower, and he did not send anyone after her. appeased his daughter at the moment and praised Hu Zhenbang. Yelu Aoshuang stepped forward to thank Hu Zhenbang, and saw Hu Zhenbang looking at him with a smile, waved his hand and said, "The county lord doesn't have to be polite. I was grateful, and I thought of being hugged by him at the right time, and my face couldn't help but turn red.

Hu Zhenbang informed Yelu Kokand of the assassination of Kulun and the theft of the 12 volumes of the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts". Jerukohan sighed, "I told you that this book had been preserved, but it was stolen." ”

Hu Zhenbang said: "Don't worry, although this book has been stolen, but the young general has instructed the city gates to be closed, and those who want to steal this book have not escaped from Kyoto overnight. ”

Yelu Kohan praised: "General Hu is running back and forth tonight, outwitting the little girl, it is really brave and strategic, and I and the old general Kulun did not look away." Hu Zhenbang said: "The marshal has won the award, this is the responsibility of the next one, and if you fail to complete the task today, please punish the marshal." Yelu Kokand said: "General Hu's words are serious, he is the commander who underestimates the enemy, and he is a step late to help, and he didn't expect that a Mu Hanyi would come out of it to make an obstacle." ”

Hu Zhenbang said again: "I don't know if the reinforcements sent by the marshal have taken the Song people carefully?" Yelu Kohan said: "Shicai has received the military report, saying that the people from the Fuliang Tea Shop went to the empty building, and I have already said that this is the commander who underestimates the enemy, and it has nothing to do with you, you don't have to blame yourself." He paused, and then said: "General Hu, you must be tired too, so you don't have to go back to the barracks today, just rest in my marshal's mansion." At that moment, he ordered someone to arrange for Hu Zhenbang to live in the Shuai Mansion, and Yelu Aoshuang was very happy when he saw his father arrange it like this.

Early the next morning, Yelu Kokand sent someone to recruit Hu Zhenbang to discuss going to Kulun to visit the injury, and suddenly received a report from the Kulun Mansion, saying that the old general Kulun was too seriously injured, and the volumes of the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts" that he usually regarded as treasures were stolen.

Yelu Kokand and Hu Zhenbang were taken aback when they heard the news, and hurriedly led people to mourn. As soon as I entered the Kulun Mansion, I saw the white flags, the cigarettes lingering, the old and the young in the Kulen family crying, and everyone's faces were full of sadness. After Yelu Kokand and Hu Zhenbang mourned, Mrs. Kulun took a letter and handed it to Yelu Kokand, Yelu Kohan opened it and looked at it, his eyes were solemn, and he said to Hu Zhenbang: "General Hu, the old general Kulun has a last word to confess, please obtain the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts", and then equip the army of our Liao State with the ordnance developed by his life, in order to unify the world. ”

Hu Zhenbang bowed respectfully and said: "I will definitely do my best to help my Da Liao obtain the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts" and serve the Da Liao, so as to comfort the spirit of the old general Ku in the sky." ”

Back at the Shuaifu, Yelu Kohan asked Hu Zhenbang: "Since your father-in-law became qualified, he has been living alone in the border of the Liao and Song Dynasties, I don't know if you want to visit his old man's house, he never imagined that the twelve volumes of the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts" lent to Kulun would be stolen. ”

Hu Zhenbang said: "My father-in-law is indifferent to fame and fortune, and he has no study of the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts", he once promised to return the book to the Great Song Dynasty for my biological father, and now the book is missing, I am afraid that his old man will know it, and it is just to increase his troubles, it is better to let him take this book as still in the hands of the old general Ku, and when I take back this book one day, it is not too late to visit him." ”

Jelu Kokand pondered for a while and then said, "You are right. Now Ben Shuai still has a task for you and the little girl to complete, I don't know if you want to. Hu Zhenbang said: "Although the commander commands." Yelu Kokand said: "General Hu, this matter should have been discussed with your father-in-law, but without further ado, I think that in the future, if you become famous, and then report to him, his old man will not blame you." ”
