Chapter 17, the three eagles of the party
After a while, a team of people rushed to the two of them, and the people on the horses were all dressed as Jurchens. When one of them saw the county lord, he rolled the saddle and dismounted, knelt down on one knee and bowed: "Mu Tie has seen the county lord." After everyone dismounted, they bowed down and saluted Mu Hanyi respectfully.
Mu Hanyi said happily: "Everyone, get up quickly, Mu Tie, you came just in time, do you know if there is an inn around here? ”
Hu Zhenbang saw that Mu Tie was about thirty years old, with a ruddy complexion, sharp eyes, and a height of no more than five feet, but he looked fierce and mighty, and secretly thought that he must be a powerful warrior in Mu Mansion.
Mu Tie saw the county lord asking, and hurriedly got up and replied: "Back to the county lord, the villain is entrusted by the lord, and the road has been carefully investigated and checked, and now it belongs to the territory of the Song people, please follow the villain for a few more miles, after entering the city pass, there is an inn in front, and the villain will take the county lord to stay in the tip." ”
Mu Hanyi was first overjoyed when he heard this, and then frowned slightly, and said angrily: "Could it be that I have traveled all the way, and everything I have done is not under your noses? ”
Mu Tie said with a smile: "County Lord, we are not watching, the lord has always been at ease with the county lord's actions, the lord only instructed us to arrange the county lord's accommodation along the way, and did not let me interfere with the county host's affairs, the villain should have informed the county lord a long time ago, there are very few inns in this area, and you need to enter Bianjing to have a place to live, but first, the foot strength is not as good as the county lord's 'white dragon', and it is really impossible to catch up, and secondly, the villain has been in Bianjing before to inquire about the news, delaying some hours ....... ”
As he spoke, he suddenly noticed Hu Zhenbang standing behind the county lord, at first he also said that this person was the county lord on the way to find the groom, did not pay attention, but now suddenly realized that he has an extraordinary bearing, carrying a long sword, it seems that he is not an ordinary entourage, he glanced at him a few times in succession, and his face showed surprise.
Hu Zhenbang said in his heart, it turned out that the horse of the county lord of Jinguo was called "White Dragon", this name is also appropriate, Tang Li Bai has a poem "White Horse Chapter" has a way "Dragon Horse Flower Snow Mao, Golden Saddle Wuling Hao", originally praised the heroic man, although Mu Hanyi is a woman, riding the white horse, but also heroic.
He saw that Mu Tie's words suddenly paused, and he couldn't stop looking at his side as he spoke, as if he was on guard, and immediately said: "Lord Mu, you two talk, I'll retreat first." ”
Mu Hanyi grinned and said, "Brother Hu doesn't have to avoid suspicion. He said to Mu Tie again: "Mu Tie, you can rest assured, this is a friend I found to work with, called Hu Zhenbang, martial arts are very tight, you don't have to be restrained in everything." It turned out that the two of them had traveled all the way and called him brothers to the outside world, so Mu Hanyi called him "Brother Hu" here.
Hu Zhenbang couldn't cry or laugh, and said in his heart, he was obviously coerced by her to go to find out the whereabouts of "Wujing General Essentials", how did he become a friend she found to work together.
Mu Hanyi pointed at Mu Tie and said to Hu Zhenbang: "He is Mu Ying, the general of my Mu Mansion, not only is he a shrewd person, he knows everything about the news, and he is also a hero among our Jurchens, who has killed a hundred-pound leopard with his bare hands, and you two can make friends." ”
Hu Zhenbang saluted Mu Tie and said: "I've seen Mu Hero, the younger generation is so polite." ”
Mu Tie replied: "The county lord has a reputation, I really dare not be it, since Brother Hu is a friend of the county lord, he is naturally our friend, may I ask if Brother Hu is Han?"
Hu Zhenbang said: "Although I grew up in Liao since I was a child, I am indeed a Han person, and Mu Hero has good eyesight!"
It turned out that Mu Tie saw him dressed as a Khitan, but his appearance was not like a Khitan, so he asked casually, and he regretted it in his heart, afraid that he might not be willing to admit it, but it seemed that he was exposing the privacy of others, which was rude. Seeing that the other party admitted without hesitation, he had a good impression of him in his heart, but he felt that he was so trusted by the county lord at a young age, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised in his heart.
Mu Tie and the others took off the dry food and water bag from the horse, handed it to Mu Hanyi and Hu Zhenbang, and even a cadre of entourage took off the big bag of hay on the back of the accompanying horse, and fed the white dragon, the white dragon is also a divine horse, after eating and drinking, he hissed and was full of energy.
Hu Zhenbang secretly thought, with the pomp and posture of this Mu County Lord, he must be a big man in the Jin Kingdom.
Mu Tie and his entourage got on the horse to lead the team, Hu Zhenbang still rode the white dragon with Mu Hanyi, and the two of them slowly followed behind. After another hour, they entered the Bianjing City, the city gate was originally closed, I don't know what means Mu Tie used to negotiate with the guards, and actually opened the side gate to let them enter the city.
At that time, the sky was already dark, but the lights in Bianjing City were dim, the teahouses and wine shops were lined up one after another, the shops were also one by one, the night market on both sides of the official road was a vendor or selling melons and fruits or selling rouge gouache, jewelry bracelets, the south and the north were shouting loudly, lively and extraordinary, and the pedestrians stopped to stop.
On the road, there are different dresses, the blonde and blue-eyed people of the Western Regions lead the camel team through the period, Mu Hanyi heart road, long heard that the Song capital Bianjing is prosperous, the city is majestic, the palace is magnificent, the streets and alleys are open, the fragrant car BMW, endlessly, see it today, it is really worthy of the name.
It turns out that since the establishment of the Song Dynasty by the Han people, the curfew of the Tang people has been abolished in the capital, attracting all kinds of small merchants and hawkers and wealthy businessmen to gather, and the prosperity is extraordinary.
Although Hu Zhenbang left Bianjing when he was young, his father-in-law Suo Longtu was familiar with the customs of the Han people, and often told him about the customs and customs of the Han people, because he knew the customs and systems of the Song people very well. Along the way, as long as Mu Hanyi asked him about the interesting things he saw, he could answer them all the way, and Mu Hanyi nodded frequently in surprise.
This way to see the flowers, unconsciously has come to an inn, the inn is magnificent, built with three floors, not only has guest rooms, but also has a luxury restaurant, the horizontal plaque on the top of the gate building reads "Hongyun Inn" four big characters, iron hook silver stroke, the strength of the warehouse, each word has the size of the desktop, all with gold paint whitewash, it is really a golden signboard.
Xiao Er saw the big team of people arrive at the store, and hurriedly stepped forward, Xiao Er has been through personnel for a long time, and has already seen that the two people who came down on the white horse are extraordinary, thinking that the rich patron has arrived, and hurriedly asked the guy to lead the horse to the stable, and beckoned everyone to arrange accommodation and rest.
Mu Hanyi said to everyone: "These days, we are in a hurry, sleeping in the open air, everyone has worked hard, and tonight I will invite everyone to have a full meal with good wine and meat." Mu Tie and all his entourage applauded.
Mu Hanyi called Hu Zhenbang, sat down with Mu Tie and his colleagues in the wine hall, called for many good wines and dishes of beef, mutton and fish, and surrounded three tables.
During the banquet, Mu Tie and his entourage all toasted to Mu Hanyi and Hu Zhenbang, Hu Zhenbang did not refuse, drank fifty or sixty bowls of spirits without changing his face, talked and laughed freely, everyone applauded in unison, the Jurchen people are similar to the Khitans, they have lived in the grassland desert for a long time, drink more spirits to drive away the cold, almost everyone can drink, that is, people with excellent drinks, drink those twenty or thirty bowls, it must be unable to support, seeing that Hu Zhenbang, who seems to be a Han scholar, has such an amazing amount of wine, I am not surprised.
Mu Hanyi knew that Hu Zhenbang was excellent in martial arts, and he grew up in Liao since he was a child, and the amount of alcohol was not a problem, seeing that everyone couldn't stop toasting Hu Zhenbang, as if he didn't get drunk and he wouldn't stop, he immediately raised his glass to everyone: "Everyone, I and this Hu brother still have important things to do, just drink almost enough, don't delay Ming'er's business." ”
When Mu Tie saw Mu Hanyi greeting him, he also raised his hand to make a gesture, and his subordinates no longer coaxed to toast Hu Zhenbang.
Just as everyone was about to settle the bill and disperse, they suddenly saw three people walking in outside the door, all dressed as Xixia people, the first one was a strong man in his forties, and he wore a golden earring the size of a wine glass on one ear, which was very eye-catching. He was dressed in a brown robe, half of his shoulders were exposed, and a wolf's head was tattooed on his arm, which was quite fierce; he was followed by two people, one fat and one thin, and the fat man was about forty, with a bare head, and a smile on his face, and he was on a swarthy cane, and he did not know what it was made of, but he struck the ground with a loud sound; the thin man was a head taller than ordinary people, and his face was sallow, and he looked sickly, but his eyes were shining, and his temples were slightly raised.
Hu Zhenbang's heart froze, looking at the appearance of these three people, could it be the martial arts master "Dang Xiang Sanying" of the mighty Xixia that his father-in-law had mentioned to him?
The first person must be the Sky Eagle Tuoba Hongfei, the fat man behind him should be Pan Tianluo, the longitudinal falcon, and the thin man should be the star kite Ma Qing.
It is said that the martial arts of these three people were passed down by Song Zanpu, the first master of Tubo, and they were the first-class masters of Western Xia.
Thinking in his heart, he wanted to remind Mu Hanyi to act carefully, but when he saw Mu Hanyi take out a silver ingot, he just shouted for Xiao Er to come to settle the bill, and it seemed that he did not take the future in his eyes. Instead, she caught the attention of the three men.
I only heard the fat man grin and said, "This little brother is young, but he is generous!" It turned out that Mu Hanyi was a man.
The man at the beginning opened a photo to Mu Hanyi and Hu Zhenbang, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly laughed and said: "I didn't expect that the brothers of the Jurchen clan also arrived here, the news is really well-informed." ”
Mu Hanyi was about to speak, and Xiao Er on the side had already stepped forward to laugh and said to the three people: "A few guest officers, sit down first, what kind of wine and food do you want?"
It turned out that he saw that the three of them looked around left and right after entering the door, talking to people indiscriminately, but he didn't sit down to order food and wine, for fear that there would be trouble between customers, and if there was a fight, it would affect the business, so he couldn't help but say hello.
The thin man among the three said, "Do you have any meat here?" ”
The thin man smiled sadly: "This is very good, do you have fresh human flesh in your store?"
Xiao Er only said that he was joking, and said with a smile: "The guest officer said that he was joking, the small shop only has pork, beef, mutton, chicken, fish, where does human meat come from, and we are not a black shop." ”
The thin man looked up and laughed, he looked like a sick person, and when he laughed, he seemed even more out of breath, as if he was about to lose his breath at any moment.
Everyone was inexplicable, and somehow, a black shadow flashed in the ground, and the shopkeeper suddenly wailed, covering his right eye with both hands, and blood gushed out from between his fingers.
But I saw that the thin man wiped the corner of his mouth and said: "Hehe, your eyes are really fresh, but it's a pity that there are no beads", which means that this little two has eyes and no beads.
It turned out that he was laughing, and he didn't know what trick he used, and he gouged out the right eye of the shopkeeper as fast as lightning and devoured it.
Everyone was shocked, knowing that there was a powerful character, some diners wanted to sneak away, but they were afraid of alarming the three people, but they became the target of their attack, one by one, they were stunned, and they didn't dare to make a sound, and the shopkeeper of the Hongyun Inn was also bluffed behind the counter, so that he wanted the guys to report to the official, but found that those guys were crawling behind the counter and couldn't get up.
