Hu Zhenbang followed the maid, turned east and west, passed through the cloister garden, came to a wing room in the east, the room has been lit with candles, the light is bright, Hu Zhenbang looked around the house, saw that this house is very large, there are several Han people's landscape pictures hanging on the surrounding walls, most of them are painted with peach lotus birds and beasts, all lifelike, obviously from the handwriting of famous artists. On the table on the side of the window, pen, ink, paper and inkstone are readily available, and there is a Xiaoxiang bamboo bookshelf and a large bed against the wall, which is no different from the general guest room. The maid burned sandalwood, made a pot of tea and put it on the table, and bowed to Hu Zhenbang to retire.

Hu Zhenbang latched the door, took down a copy of the Book of the Later Han Dynasty from the shelf, and after turning a few pages, he felt sleepy, blew out the candle and fell asleep. I don't know how long it took to be in a daze, but I suddenly heard someone whispering in my ear: "General Hu wake up." Hu Zhenbang jumped up, and through a little light outside the window, he saw a black-clothed masked man standing next to the bed, not very tall, holding a long sword, apparently sneaking into the room with the sword to pick the door bolt while he was asleep.

Hu Zhenbang secretly shouted: "I'm ashamed, I didn't find out when this person entered the house, it seems that this person's martial arts are not under me." At that moment, he shouted: "Your Excellency, who dares to trespass on the Shuai Mansion!"

The person who came "shh ”

Hu Zhenbang saw that this person's figure was not as tall as the Khitans in the north, but it did look a little like the southerners, but he may not conclude that this person was a Song person, not to mention that he seemed to know his identity very well, so I am afraid that he is suspicious.

As his mind turned, he asked in a low voice: "It turns out that you are from the Song Dynasty, so how did you find out that the twelve volumes of the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts" are in the hands of Kulun?

The person who came was stunned by Hu Zhenbang's question, and said hurriedly: "Without further ado, I will explain to you slowly when I go back, and then I don't take this opportunity to retrieve the scroll, if Cullen wakes up, this matter will not be easy to handle, General Hu, hurry up and follow me." ”

Hu Zhenbang listened to him deliberately lower his voice and squeeze his voice to speak, although it was indeed with a Song accent, but it was inevitably a little deliberate and unnatural, and he suddenly understood in his heart. So he smiled and said, "Okay, let's hurry up." After saying that, he turned to the person who came, and suddenly reached out to clasp his wrist, and the person who came was obviously wary of him, and hurriedly dodged and said, "General Hu believes me?"

Hu Zhenbang said loudly: "You Nanban, scheming, dare to break into my Daliao Shuaifu, and want to ask me to help you steal books, you are really bold, come here, and I will hold this Song people!"

When the man saw Hu Zhenbang shouting, he immediately swung his sword forward, and slammed three swords in a row, intending to force Hu Zhenbang back, Hu Zhenbang praised: "Good swordsmanship, but it's a pity that he worked hard for the Song people." "Instead of retreating, he advanced, dodging left and right, and actually bullied forward in the opponent's extremely powerful sword.

It is necessary to know that at this moment the room is extremely dim, and his eyesight is extremely limited, he can rely on the skill of listening to the wind in the dark, and use this empty-handed kung fu, the man saw that he was forced not to retreat, jumped to the window, and wanted to retreat, Hu Zhenbang picked up a brush on the case and threw it to the man in black, the martial arts of the man in black was also good, and he heard the sound of the secret weapon breaking the air in mid-air, and made a move "willow with the wind", the body bent, leaned back into an arch bridge shape, and only listened to the "sneer" With a soft sound, the pen pierced the hem of his shirt and flew out of the window with a strong wind only through the window paper.

The man in black was shocked, knowing that Hu Zhenbang would never let him escape easily, and immediately said: "General Hu, since you are unwilling to do things for my Great Song Dynasty, then each is his master, why bother to kill them all, it is better to let me live, in the future, the mountains and rivers are far away, and everyone will not bother!"

Hu Zhenbang sneered: "You treacherous and slippery Nanban, sneaking into my Daliao Kyoto, wanting to do the thing of roosters and dogs, and you still want me to let you escape at this moment, that is not to be imagined." ”

The man in black said again: "General Hu, as a Han Chinese, why do you have to serve the Khitans, is it possible that you have forgotten your bloodline? ”

Hu Zhenbang thought to himself: "This is obviously tempting me to be fooled." At the moment, he shouted angrily: "Bah, you Nanban, although I am a Han Chinese, but I grew up in the Khitan, how kind of Han people are to me? If it weren't for my biological father who repaired books for the Song people's official mansion, how could he have caused death, Hu is definitely not a person who covets wealth and wealth, and if he wants me to return to the Song Dynasty, it is absolutely impossible." ”

As he spoke, he jumped into the air and slashed out his palms, striking directly at the man in black.

The man in black saw that his palm was fierce, and hurriedly dodged sideways, and at the same time the long sword swung to cut his palms, Hu Zhenbang flipped his palms, as fast as lightning, to hit the wrist of the man in black, the man in black changed his sword horizontally, and swung his left palm to hit Hu Zhenbang's shoulder well, and the long sword turned around and stabbed the opponent's eyes. Hu Zhenbang saw that although his moves were fast, they were not fatal moves, his heart turned sharply, and he said secretly: "What kind of road is this, could it really be that the Song people sent to find Neiying?" Thinking in his heart, his hands and feet did not hesitate, and when he leaned over slightly, the sword sound of the man in black could pass by several inches from his head, and he kicked back with his right foot, and hit the left palm of the man in black with a move "Qinling Turning the Clouds", and the man in black snorted in a low voice and dodged a somersault backwards.

Hu Zhenbang had scruples at the beginning, and he did not use all his strength, just because he did not know whether the person who came was friend or foe. At this moment, knowing that although the other party's skills are strong, he is under himself, his mind is racing, and he secretly said: "Yes, if he is really a Song person, how can he easily sneak into the generalissimo's mansion of the Liao State, this must be Yelu Kohan secretly trying me, if I don't use all my strength, he will think that I want to let the tiger return to the mountain, and I am suspected of fornicating with the Song people." ”

As soon as he made up his mind, he shouted loudly: "Come on, quickly catch the Song people!", the man in black was frightened and wanted to flee, but Hu Zhenbang blocked the door and window before he jumped every time, and the man in black had no choice but to swing his sword to attack, Hu Zhenbang dodged left and right, and in the dark it was like entering a no-man's land, and gradually approached the man in black.

Seeing the man in black approaching the wall and having no way to retreat, Hu Zhenbang kicked a step forward and used the Shaolin small grappling technique to snatch the long sword in the hand of the man in black, the man in black saw that the enemy was approaching, and the long sword in his hand could not be used, so he simply put aside the long sword and used his fists and feet to fight with Hu Zhenbang. Then the footsteps came closer.

The black-clothed man was in a hurry, stepping on the Bagua step, his palms flying, and the attack became more and more fierce, making it the Wudang faction's dragon palm technique, the palms were like a dragon head and tail together, and the palms were floating, and it was difficult to distinguish the landing point. Hu Zhenbang shouted, without waiting for his palm to hit, volleyed and kicked the face of the man in black, the man in black dodged and avoided, but Hu Zhenbang's fists came again, the man in black has been forced to the corner of the house, there is no way to retreat, a squatting step to avoid Hu Zhenbang's palm force, raise his fist and sweep Hu Zhenbang's face, Hu Zhenbang reversed his right palm, a move "dragon claw hand" held his right fist, homeopathic reversal, the man in black was twisted by him, the left palm reversed, so that a move "hand wave pipa", Hu Zhenbang quickly raised his left hand like lightning and buckled his left hand, showing the trend of cutting both hands back. The man in black shouted: "Let go!", Hu Zhenbang smiled: "And ask if you accept it?"
