Chapter 12: The Robbery of the Scriptures

Yelu Kokand turned his head and instructed the captain of the guard: "You go to the Kulun Mansion to ...... quickly" Before he could finish his sentence, the masked woman interrupted him and said: "Wait, don't ask your subordinates to do this kind of waste, I want you to send him!"

The captain of the guard was waiting to receive his order, and when he saw her insulting words, implying that she was a waste, he immediately became angry. It must be known that the Khitan warriors have strong personalities, and they can't stand such contempt and verbal insults, and they are extremely angry, and they can't care about Yelu Kokand beside them, so they roared angrily, rushed forward with an arrow, drew their swords and slashed at the masked woman on the horse.

The masked woman sneered, her right hand moth eyebrows stabbed her left hand, flicked her fingers, only heard the sound of "ah", the captain of the guard roared into a scream, his eyes were wide with anger, and he fell backwards to the sky, when everyone looked, they saw a deep hole the size of a chess piece in the middle of his forehead, and all the guards were shocked, and two guards rushed forward to check, and found that in the middle of the guard captain's eyebrows, an iron lotus seed was embedded, and he had already been killed on the spot.

When the guards saw that the captain was killed, they shouted, and they all rushed forward to surround the masked woman even tighter, but they were a little afraid of the martial arts of the county lord and the masked woman, and they just shouted and scolded there, and no one dared to do anything to her again.

Yelu Kokand and Hu Zhenbang glanced at each other, and knew in their hearts that this woman's martial arts were extremely high and she was extremely fast, if she wanted to go forward to besiege, she would immediately hurt Yelu Aoshuang, and it was inevitable to throw a mouse bogey. The masked woman's eyes were awe-inspiring, and she shouted, "If any of you want to go up again, this is the end." ”

Yelu Kokand said to the masked woman: "Who are you?" The masked woman smiled and said: "There is no name junior in the lower class, there is a handsome man Lao who cares, and if you ask again and again, you may as well tell you that you might as well take a cold coat in the lower clothes." ”

Yelu Kokand and Hu Zhenbang both said in their hearts: "This person is young and has good kung fu, but he has never heard of a name." ”

Yelu Kohan said: "Then there is Miss Lao Mu waiting here for a while, and I will ask General Hu to go to the Kulun Mansion to pick up the book." He turned his head and glanced at Hu Zhenbang and said, "General Hu, you should go and return quickly." Hu Zhenbang knew what he meant, but he wanted to act on his own, and he couldn't really take the book and hand it to her.

The early guards on the side prepared the horses and sent them, Hu Zhenbang was ordered to get on the horse, and went to the Fengqiumen Maxing Street where Kulun was located, and came to General Kulun's mansion in a short time. From a distance, you can hear the noise of people inside, and when he approached, he saw that the door of the general's mansion was wide open, and the two guards fell on the stone steps outside the door, and there was no bloodstain, obviously they were injured by a hidden weapon, Hu Zhenbang didn't have time to take a closer look, and dismounted and rushed into the mansion, but saw that the guards in the courtyard were busy all around, and kept shouting: "Quickly take the assassin!", "No trace of the thief was found in General Ku's room!", "Hurry up and search the gang's room!" ......

When everyone saw Hu Zhenbang arrive, they were all overjoyed, and a small team leader stepped forward and said: "General Hu, you came just in time, and only the thieves entered the mansion and injured General Ku." Hu Zhenbang said secretly: "Sure enough, it is a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain." The squad leader said, "The little one has let some of the guards guard the front and back gates, and no one has escaped. Hu Zhenbang said: "You wait for a careful search, and take me to see General Ku Lao." ”

Hu Zhenbang entered Kulun's bedroom, saw Kulun half lying on the bed, his left shoulder had been wrapped in a white cloth, saw Hu Zhenbang enter the door, and hurriedly beckoned, Hu Zhenbang grabbed it and said: "How is General Kulun injured?" Kulun coughed a few times and said: "Don't get in the way, you came just in time, quickly help me to the study." Hu Zhenbang hurriedly stepped forward to help him up. Cullen was old, he had a knife wound on his shoulder, and he was moving slowly, Cullen took Hu Zhenbang through the bedroom and walked into the study, but saw that the door of the study was open, and there were several guards on the ground, all of whom had died, Cullen stumbled and said, "It's not good, go and take a look." Hu Zhenbang's heart moved, "Didn't someone steal the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts", and said at the moment: "General, don't worry, go check it out first!"

The two entered the study, Cullen walked to the front of the case, groped under the case for a while, only heard a few rolling sounds, the wall behind suddenly opened inward, and a row of bookshelves appeared, but seeing that the bookshelves were empty, Cullen saw that he couldn't make a sound, and a mouthful of blood gushed out, and he immediately fainted. It turned out that he had already suffered a knife wound, and when he saw that the strange book that he regarded as a treasure was gone, he was in a hurry to attack his heart, and under the surging of qi and blood, where could he still support it.

Hu Zhenbang hurriedly ordered the people in the house to find Lang Zhong to check his pulse for him, and after pouring a dose of medicinal soup, Kulun woke up slowly, and sighed: "It's really about old age to capsize, tonight's assassin is clearly coming for this twelve-volume "Wujing General Essentials", I was careless." ”

Hu Zhenbang said: "The old general Hugh should be anxious, the young general will definitely recover this book for the general!" He was so comforting, but he was really unsure in his heart, secretly wondering that the book had been stolen at this moment, how to go to Jelu Kokand to get his life, and how to rescue the county lord.

Just when Cullen fainted and Lang Zhong treated him, Hu Zhenbang asked the guards to inquire, and learned that after searching up and down the general's mansion, he did not find any trace of the assassin, but only said that he only heard Cullen shouting "take the assassin" in the room at that time, and everyone rushed to save people, and when the guards saw Cullen, Cullen had been stabbed in the left shoulder, and half of his body was bloodily leaning on the seat. Some of the people saw the back of the assassin, saying that they were going to the women's house in the west wing, and they were afraid that they were thieves; some said that a dark shadow went up to the beam of the room and went to the guest room of the east wing; some people said that they went to the gang's room, and some said that they went to the stables, and they all said that they had noses and eyes, but they couldn't tell the appearance of the person, only that they saw a back, Hu Zhenbang knew that it must be someone who had come to do his martial arts, and everyone was afraid of being blamed for not doing things well, so they prevaricated indiscriminately, and they didn't blame the guards for their incompetence, but only said that the assassin who came was very good at martial arts, and it was definitely not that everyone was not able to protect him。 At that time, he ordered them to carefully guard the gates of the General's Mansion, and immediately clean up the dead and wounded guards in the Mansion.

Hu Zhenbang carefully looked at the wounds of the dead and wounded, and found that in addition to the hidden weapons of the plum blossom needle, many were sword wounds, and the assassin was most likely Kou Yun. Seeing that time was passing bit by bit, Hu Zhenbang had no choice but to explain his intention to Kulun again, saying that the county lord had been robbed and urgently needed to exchange the twelve volumes of "Wujing General Essentials". Kulun hurriedly said: "How is this good, the county lord is still in the hands of the villains, but the book is really gone at this moment, alas, I ......" Before the words fell, another mouthful of blood spit out and fainted.

Hu Zhenbang hurriedly called his family and instructed him to take care of Kulun, and then rushed to the study and took twelve irrelevant books, mostly the Han people's "Spring and Autumn", "Zuo Chuan", "Analects" and the like, rolled them up in a bag, straddled them diagonally on his back, and rode his horse to the palace of Marshal Yelu Kokand.
