Hu Zhenbang said in his heart: "Yes, she shouldn't hurt Yelu Aoshuang, the county lord wakes up, takes food on the morning of the month, and can still continue her life, but she uses a trick to contain me, and her intentions are also extremely sinister." Although a heart is half of it, it is quite disdainful of what Mu Hanyi did.

Mu Hanyi seemed to see through his thoughts, and said: "You must see that I use this method to blackmail you, it is not bright enough, whatever you think, but you can rest assured, I have always kept my promise, and I promised not to harm her life, and I will do everything possible to save her life, but you must help me get those "Wujing General Essentials". ”

Hu Zhenbang asked, "Even if I am willing to believe you, how can I help you to get these scriptures? Could it be that you already have clues?"

Mu Hanyi said: "I have found out that the twelve volumes of the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts" were taken away by Kou Yun, and I plan to return them to the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Hu Zhenbangqi said: "You kidnapped the county lord that night, and I concluded that you were Kou Yun's accomplice." Now, it seems that you are not accomplices. ”

Mu Hanyi said with a smile: "When Kou Yun has been lurking in Bianjing for a long time, the place where the scriptures are hidden has already been discovered, why should I take the risk to investigate again, I deliberately tried to contain you and let him succeed that day." ”

Hu Zhenbang's heart moved, and said: "It turns out that you intended to make a wedding dress for others, first borrow his hand to obtain the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts", and then wait for the opportunity to seize the income in his hand afterwards?"

He thought to himself: "This Kou Yun is the Great Song Dynasty Zhongliang, and she is bent on regaining this important book, and it must be handed over to the imperial court, and she wants to take it from the Great Song Palace, isn't it even more difficult to get it?"

Mu Hanyi was really quick-witted, and when he saw that his expression was different, he smiled slightly: "We Jinren have a saying, called 'The child of the eagle may not be an eagle, if he is blinded by the light of gold and silver treasures, he may become a family sparrow', then Kou Yun got the whole book of "General Essentials of the Martial Arts", and he is bent on dedicating it to the current Song Dynasty court, in exchange for high-ranking officials and Houlu, it is not known. After you say that he is loyal and good, you know that he has other plans?"

Hu Zhenbang said: "You mean, Kou Yun's move is not to serve the country, but also to make money?"

Mu Hanyi smiled but did not speak. Hu Zhenbang said in his heart: "Yes, she must have been exploring the Song Capital for a long time, and she already knows all the forces that covet this book, but Kou Yun is loyal and good, if she is really seeking money, it is really sighing." ”

Mu Hanyi saw Hu Zhenbang's brows frowning slightly, knowing that he would be suspicious of his words, so he said: "The top priority is to find Kou Yun, and General Hu needs to help me in this matter." ”

Hu Zhenbangqi said: "You Jin people covet this book, why do you want me to help you get the book? You expect me to help you?" At this time, he thought that his father was killed by the warriors of the Jin Kingdom, and he couldn't help but feel a little in his chest. Suppress your anger.

Mu Hanyi asked rhetorically: "Then are you willing to see that Kou Yun take this book for money?"

Hu Zhenbang said: "Of course I've heard of it, but now I'm the Liao State, you are the Jin State, and everyone is their own master, why do you have to ask me for help?"

Mu Hanyi said with a smile: "Because I know that although you are a general in Liaoying, you are actually a Han Chinese." So you have to help with this. “

Hu Zhenbang was secretly frightened, and said in his heart: "This person is well-informed, and even my Han blood has been discovered, so you must be careful." But he said quietly, "What if you and I work together to win the scroll?"

Mu Hanyi said: "This is a later story, now you and I don't care about grievances for the time being, only the two of us work together to recapture these twelve volumes, as for who this book belongs to in the end, I will have a fair duel with you again, what do you think?"

Hu Zhenbang said in his heart: "Now the county lord's life and death are in her hands, if it is because of my grand ambition, but the county lord loses his life, it is a big sin." But if this book is really in her hands and fuels the momentum of the Jin people, it will be a hidden danger to the Great Song Dynasty in the future, and it will also be a big failure for me. So in any case, I had to work with her to try to get hold of the book. ”

was hesitating, and saw Mu Hanyi smiled again: "Could it be that you said that I want to use your bride to blackmail you, you can rest assured, although I am a woman, but I also know the principle of fairness, if you can help me take back the book, I can compete with you fairly, the winner will get the book, and will never break his word." ”

Hu Zhenbang saw that she saw through her own thoughts, and secretly exclaimed: "This woman is quick-witted, and she is by no means an ordinary person. At the moment, he also smiled slightly: "Then I believe that you are, and if you are a Jurchen clansman, you will also do what you say." ”

Mu Hanyi smiled and said: "It's nearly five watches, and if we don't leave, I'm afraid that we will alarm the people of the Shuai Mansion, so let's go to Bianjing and find out Kou Yun's whereabouts before making a decision." ”

Hu Zhenbang said in his heart: "After this time, Yelu Kokand will definitely doubt my identity, and many previous efforts will come to naught, but it is my task to recapture this scripture, and I must not lose it because of a small one." only pity Yelu Aoshuang, this matter has nothing to do with her, but she was involved in it, if she really lost her life, it is really unbearable. ”

Mu Hanyi saw him looking at Yelu Aoshuang on the bed, as if he couldn't bear it, and then smiled again: "It seems that you are still reluctant to give up your bride, afraid that I will kill her?" If I have the heart to use her to blackmail you, why should I promise you that after this scripture is successful, you and I will have a fair duel?"

Hu Zhenbang said: "Your antidote is enough to renew her life for half a year, if you can't renew the antidote within half a year, won't it kill her?"

Mu Hanyi's face sank and said: "How can you be such a mother-in-law, you really don't look like a Khitan person, I have my own way to keep her from dying, if you can't believe me, don't go, I will use my strength alone, and I won't be able to get this book." ”

Hu Zhenbang smiled: "Didn't you say it, I am not a Khitan, I am a Han." ”

Mu Hanyi was stunned: "Yes, I forgot that you are not a Khitan, but you are a general in the Khitan army?"

Hu Zhenbang said: "I grew up in the Khitan since I was a child, and it is not impossible for outsiders to say that they are Khitans. It's just that in my heart, I always think of myself as a Han ganger. ”

Mu Hanyi said with a smile: "No matter who you are, in short, the most important thing for you to help me get the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts", the hour is not early, and if you don't leave, you won't be able to leave." ”

At that moment, the two of them quietly went out of the door, jumped over the backyard, and after turning around, Mu Hanyi whistled, and under the starlight, he saw a white horse rushing to the front like a gust of wind, and when he came to her, he bent his four knees down, and waited for his master to mount. Hu Zhenbang said secretly: "This horse is extremely human, it is really a good horse." ”

Mu Hanyi stepped over the door, beckoned to Hu Zhenbang and said, "Come on!" Hu Zhenbang used to see her dressed in men's clothes, this night Mu Hanyi pretended to be Yelu Aoshuang and pretended to be a bride, the red bridal makeup on his body was not changed, and he rode on a white horse like a bride, Hu Zhenbang thought that he was married to Yelu Aoshuang tonight, but unexpectedly mixed up with Mu Hanyi in a new wedding dress, and now this situation, it is as if he wants to escape marriage and marry another, which is quite funny, and he shook his head and smiled bitterly at a thought. When he turned over and jumped on the horse, and with a reins of his cold clothes, the white horse opened its four hooves and galloped out of the city to the south.

The white horse is a famous horse, even a divine horse, it can really travel thousands of miles a day, from the Liao capital to Beijing Linhuang Mansion, through a large grassland, woods, mountain roads, mud all the way to the south. Along the way, Hu Zhenbang saw that Mu Hanyi was taken care of everywhere, and everywhere he went, only one word "Mu" was mentioned, and those herdsmen or villagers immediately resigned themselves and were in awe, and they were very enthusiastic about hospitality. I think she has a lot of background, and someone has already helped her find out where she is going, and the places where she stays have been properly arranged. He didn't ask much, just kept an eye out for it.

At the beginning, Hu Zhenbang was vigilant, and when he rested, he leaned on the bed, or he was lying on the ground, and he was not undressed, but fortunately, the people who practiced martial arts knew how to practice the exercises in retreat, although the journey was tiring, but the rest was good, and there was no feeling of discomfort. Later, I saw that although Mu Hanyi was a woman, she behaved generously everywhere, and her behavior was not appropriate, so I gradually felt relieved.

Along the way, Mu Hanyi shot very boldly, with good wine and good food, and never pulled down. I wanted to buy another horse and share two rides with him, but I didn't see a horse to buy along the way, and the white horse was one of the best horses in a thousand miles, so I bought other horses, and I am afraid that the foot strength will not be able to keep up with it.

The two always rode together, but fortunately, the people of the Khitan and Jurchen tribes did not pay attention to the defense of men and women like the Han people. In addition, Mu Hanyi has already changed into a man's dress, and only says that he is a trader who sells furs, and outsiders all say that these two are brothers, and they don't ask much, but everywhere they go, those people in the inn and inn see that the two "brothers" live in the hotel and want to open two bedrooms to rest, which is really wealthy, and the innkeeper is happy to earn more money, and he doesn't care how he lives together.

Along the way, Hu Zhenbang and Mu Hanyi didn't talk much, occasionally talked, and only talked about some topics in the far and near directions of the route, but Mu Hanyi found some topics to ask him from time to time, and he didn't seem to know much about the customs of the Khitan and Han people. The two rode together, although they didn't care, but the horse's back was bumpy, so as not to touch each other, the two inevitably felt a trace of embarrassment and subtlety, often speechless for a long time, but fell into silence.

After walking for a few days, the yellow sand along the way gradually decreased, the green space gradually increased, as far as the eye could see, the desert wind and sand, the mountain ice and snow scenery gradually turned into fields and forests, village houses and buildings. The farmland on the side of the road is gradually increasing, and the post pavilion is seen every few miles, which is obviously the border of the Song Kingdom, and it is getting closer and closer to Bianjing, the capital of the Song people.

On this day, the two traveled hundreds of miles, and when it was close to unitary, although the white horse was a divine horse, it was also panting and tired, and the white horse was heartbroken for days, and there was no supply, so he discussed with Hu Zhenbang to find an inn to play the sharp.

I didn't want to have the heart to look for an inn, and the two ran for dozens of miles in a row, but they still didn't find the inn. It turned out that the capital of the Great Song Dynasty was built on hundreds of miles of plains, the two hurried away, deep into the hinterland of the Central Plains, never thought that they could not find a place to stay at this moment, and saw a round of red sun falling far down the horizon, and there was no edge around them, and there was no family.

Barely walking for several miles, the white horse could no longer support it, bent its front knees, knelt down, the two had to dismount, led the white horse slowly forward, at this time the sky had gradually darkened. Hu Zhenbang and Mu Hanyi glanced at each other, and they both sighed in vain.

Just as he was hungry and hungry, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from behind, as if someone was shouting "Lord Mu".

Hu Zhenbang said in his heart: "It turns out that she is the county lord of the Jin Kingdom, and the family power is not small, no wonder there are people who have made arrangements along the way." ”

Mu Hanyi's face was happy when he heard this, and he shouted to the rear: "Is it from Mu Mansion? ”
