Before he could finish speaking, suddenly a person rushed out of the tent, pulled him and rushed into the tent, that person was Mu Hanyi. It turned out that she was unexpectedly informed that this righteous sister Ayimu was actually the "princess of Western Xia" that the king of Tubo wanted to exchange for 12 volumes of "Wujing General Essentials", and she was overjoyed, so she wanted to tell Hu Zhenbang, but it happened that Hu Zhenbang came to her tent outside, and in a hurry, where to take care of what men and women were guarded against, rushed out of the tent and pulled Hu Zhenbang into the tent.

Ayimu was taken aback when she saw Mu Hanyi suddenly pull her eldest brother into her tent. Listening to what she said before, "This thing is so coincidental", I was also speculating in my heart, I don't know what this sister is doing.

Hu Zhenbang smiled: "What's so urgent, do you have to say it tonight?"

Mu Hanyi said: "Hurry, I have to say it tonight, you sit down quickly, and wait for me to talk to you slowly." ”

On the side, Ayimu also felt funny and strange, and said, "Since the eldest brother is here, then please tell the younger sister, what is so coincidental?"

Mu Hanyi said: "Big brother, who are you Sister Ayimu, she is the 'Princess of Xixia'!"

As soon as she said this, the other two were very surprised. Hu Zhenbang said: "Little sister, you said that Sister Ayimu is the princess of Western Xia?

Ayimu also said curiously: "Sister, didn't I tell you that I am the princess of the Uighurs?" 'Princess of Western Xia', that is just Li Yuanhao's declaration to the outside world to achieve his goal, I don't admit it. ”

The two spoke at the same time, Mu Hanyi touched his head and smiled: "Look at me in a hurry, there are some things that the eldest brother doesn't know yet! So he told Ayi Mushi about himself, and told Hu Zhenbang one by one.

Hu Zhenbang suddenly realized: "So that's the case, then it couldn't be clearer." It turned out that Li Yuanhao named his second sister the so-called 'Princess of Western Xia', in exchange for the twelve volumes of "Wujing General Essentials" that were snatched by Song Zanpu and intended to be given to the Tubo prince as a dowry. ”

Ayimu also nodded and said: "Yes, it's good to say that, it turned out that Zina came to tell me that day that Li Yuanhao wanted to marry me to Tubo in the name of 'Princess Xixia', in the name of the marriage between the two countries, in exchange for some benefits." It's just that we didn't know what the benefits were back then, and now it seems that Li Yuanhao just wants to get this strange book. I don't know how the little sister and the eldest brother got the news?"

So Hu and Mu told Ayimu how Song Zanpu, the first master of Tubo, took up the 12 volumes of "General Essentials of the Martial Scriptures" that Kou Yun recaptured from the Liao people, and planned to dedicate this scripture to the Tubo monarch in exchange for the title of the first national teacher of Tubo, and told Ayimu that the news they had found at the beginning was that the prince of Tubo wanted to use this scripture as a dowry to marry the 'Xixia princess', and the purpose of their trip was to intercept Song Zanpu and prevent the scripture from falling into the hands of the Tangut people. It was really a coincidence that there was no book, and I was able to meet Ayimu, who was regarded as the "Princess of Western Xia", in this Tibetan prairie canyon.

After listening to it, Ayimu also felt that things were too coincidental, which was really incredible, but after listening to what the two said, he told himself with Zina that Li Yuanhao's desire to marry him to the prince of Tubo happened to be right. It's just that Li Yuanhao actually wanted to exchange himself for "Wujing General Essentials", she still just learned about it.

"Before, Sando said that he heard the two lamas talking at night that Li Yuanhao was angry with the monks of the Jietan Temple because I fled, and killed them all. Now it seems that this Li Yuanhao was angry and killed innocents indiscriminately because he couldn't exchange me for "The General Essentials of the Martial Arts" from Tubo. Speaking of this, she thought of Zina's willingness to return to the palace at the risk of killing in order to help her escape, and she thought that she must have suffered an accident at this moment, and she couldn't help but feel sour in her heart and shed tears.

"At present, so many people have lost their lives at the hands of Li Yuanhao because of me, if I only care about my own escape, Li Yuanhao, the evil thief, will continue to kill people, then I am not a big sinner, and what kind of face will I have to return to Ganzhou. ”

Mu Hanyi hurriedly took Ayimu's hand and said: "Sister, this matter is all caused by this barbaric and murderous Li Yuanhao, how can I blame you, besides, you are also one of the victims of it, there is absolutely no need to blame yourself." ”

Hu Zhenbang also said: "Yes, the little sister is right, the second sister, you must not take these sins on your body, this is really a heinous evil act committed by Li Yuanhao." As a matter of urgency, let's think about what we might encounter first!"

He was afraid that Ayimu would be immersed in a sad atmosphere and would not be able to extricate himself, so he changed the topic in time: "Now that the 'Xixia Princess' is missing here, Li Yuanhao must have two choices, one is to send people around to search for the news of the second sister, and the other is to conceal the news and deceive the scriptures in Tubo's hands first." ”

Mu Hanyi nodded and said: "Yes, now that we are trapped here, when we have to rush to Tubo, I am afraid that Nasong Zanpu has already handed over the "Wujing General Essentials" to the hands of the king of Tubo, and I don't know when they plan to send this dowry to Western Xia." Sister Shicai said that Li Yuanhao was originally scheduled to hold a state banquet to marry the princess after March, but now more than a month has passed. Looks like we're going to have to get out of here as soon as possible. ”

Hu Zhenbang frowned, and said: "Judging from the situation revealed by Sando, I can still learn the news of the disappearance of the 'Princess of Western Xia' in such a remote place, and I am afraid that Tubo will also get the news sooner or later, if it reaches the Tubo Palace, it will be impossible for Tubo to send this book to Western Xia." ”

Mu Hanyi said: "If this is the case, then my eldest brother and I must divide into two routes, all the way to Tubo, all the way to Western Xia, to find out the whereabouts of the scriptures." ”

Ayimu said: "My sister and eldest brother have martial arts, but whether it is Tubo or Western Xia, there are many strong enemies, how can you two be able to fight thousands of troops when you enter the den of tigers and wolves alone? ”

Hu Zhenbang said: "The second sister is right, if this book is still in the hands of the Tubo people, it will be extremely difficult to deal with Song Zanpu alone." If this book has reached the hands of the Western Xia people, then Li Yuanhao will definitely be heavily guarded, and I am afraid it will become more and more difficult to get it. ”

Mu Hanyi frowned slightly, and said: "I don't know where Mu Tie and the others are now, it is estimated that if you want to get the information, you will have to wait until you get out of this prairie and the Grand Canyon." No, we have to keep an eye on Sando tomorrow, and ask him to do everything he can to get us out of this dangerous situation as soon as possible. ”

Ayimu was worried when he saw the righteous brothers and sisters, and he didn't feel the ups and downs of thought. Thinking that his father and family were killed by Li Yuanhao's army, and he was imprisoned by Li Yuanhao for three years, he wanted to take revenge but never got his wish. Thinking that he is now out of the matter, he can't help but secretly blame himself in his heart.

Although she was a Uighur princess and was born into a wealthy family, after all, her father, Akmunai, was the king of Ganzhou who shook the Uighurs in Hexi, and had led his people to repel foreign invasions countless times. Although she doesn't know martial arts, but since she was a child, she has been exposed to the heroic spirit of her father and clansmen, and she has a heroic spirit in her heart.

"Sister, big brother, I have an idea, would you like to hear from me?"

Mu Hanyi said: "My sister has any ideas, but it doesn't hurt to say it, my little sister listens to it." ”

Hu Zhenbang also said: "Second sister, you can tell me and listen to it." ”

So Ayimu said what he thought.

Mu Hanyi was dumbfounded when she heard this, and said: "Sister's plan is really unexpected, but I'm afraid it's too risky, and the little sister really doesn't dare to let my sister try." ”

After hearing this, Hu Zhenbang first nodded and praised: "Although the second sister is a woman, she has the morale of Yan Zhao's tragic song, and she can be said to be a heroine among women, and the eldest brother really admires it." Then he shook his head again and again and said: "The little sister is right, this move is too risky, I am afraid that if I can't deceive the enemy, I will give my own life, I will never let the second sister enter the mouth of the tiger and wolf again." ”

Ayimu Zhengse said: "I know that the younger sister and the eldest brother are worried about me, afraid that I will be imprisoned again, and it will be difficult to get out, but, you see, although this Li Yuanhao is extremely brutal and extravagant, he has not dared to touch my little finger for three years before I have been imprisoned, which shows that he is still extremely jealous of me, as long as I gain his trust, try to find out where the "Wujing General Essentials" is placed, and then cooperate with the two of you, steal this book, and finally send it back to Bianjing, the capital of the Song Dynasty, wouldn't it be a great thing!"

Mu Hanyi said: "The method proposed by my sister is indeed ingenious, I am afraid that Li Yuanhao is cruel and cunning, if he is well guarded, even if my sister is trusted by him, but how much can I grasp, this can not be said, no, it is too risky to do so." ”

Ayimu hurriedly said: "If you don't give it a try, how do you know if the plan will succeed, if the situation is not good, I have my own way to deal with it, and I must not embarrass my sister and eldest brother." ”

The three of them discussed for a long time, Hu Mu and the others were always worried that Ayimu's plan was too risky and unwilling to let her implement it, and Ayimu couldn't persuade the two to follow the plan.

In the end, Hu Zhenbang said: "Two sisters, if you still recognize me as a big brother, then listen to me, it's not early now, let's rest, the top priority is to get out of this Tibetan land, and then after we get out of here, we will judge according to the situation, whether to act according to this plan, if at that time, this book is still in the hands of Tubo, then it will not be possible to let the second sister take this risk." ”

Seeing that he was relieved, Ayimu smiled and said, "Yes, it's not early, let's let the eldest brother go back and rest." Besides, it's going to be dawn!"

The next morning, Hu Zhenbang got up early, but saw that several feet of snow had accumulated on the ground, blocking most of the tent doors, and the valleys on both sides were even more than a foot of snow, and the road was completely gone. Hurriedly called out to Sando and asked him to judge the situation.

Sang Duo looked at the sky, his face became very heavy, and said: "This snow will have to fall for at least three days, and as soon as winter enters this area, snow like this will fall, at least three days, and more than half a month, and the most afraid is not that the road will be blocked, but that the avalanche will be afraid." Alas, I think everyone should stay there and wait for the snow to stop before making plans. ”

After a while, a group of people came out of the tent one after another, and suddenly someone exclaimed, Hu Zhenbang and Sando ran to take a look, it turned out that two mules and an old horse had been frozen to death. This is really worse than a problem.

However, Sando had seen a lot of such situations, and instead grinned and said, "I am worried that I am running out of dry food these days, but now it is good that I have horse meat and mule meat to eat." ”

On this day, Sando and Hu Zhenbang together instructed the men among the travelers to clear the snow in front of the tent, and then skinned and washed the frozen mules and horses, lit a fire and boiled some mule meat and horse meat for everyone to eat, and the rest were frozen and stored for later use.

Hu Zhenbang was worried that if the weather continued, more mules and horses would freeze to death, so he led a few sturdy men to spend four or five hours to build a snow wall, slightly blocking the wind outlet of the Qingbeastkou mountain pass, and drove all the mules and horses behind this snow wall, so that the wind blowing in was greatly reduced, and after another day, these mules and horses did not freeze to death. Everyone was extremely convinced of Hu Zhenbang, and many people even had to follow him all day and night, waiting for him to be sent at any time.
