Hu Zhenbang said: "Dashuai but it doesn't matter, my father-in-law recommended me to Dashuai, just hoping that I will make contributions to Daliao and do a career. ”

Jelu Kokand laughed and said, "Okay, well, since you have this determination, then I shouldn't worry, I'll tell you." After that, Yelu Kohan paused slightly, and then said: "General Hu, I have inquired, you have not yet made a marriage with someone, this marshal is the master today, and you will be married to the little girl Yelu Aoshuang, I don't know what you think?"

Hu Zhenbang thought to himself: "If I refuse this family business, Jelu Kokand will never trust me again, but if I want to agree, it is really undesirable." It's hard to choose. His mind was racing, but his face was silent.

Yelu Hao rarely hesitated, he was not surprised, and said secretly: "My son is both civil and military, young and beautiful, and it is something that many powerful children of my Daliao can't dream of, and now I am optimistic about your literary talent and martial arts, and I want to marry her to you, but you hesitate here." Just as he was about to ask, he saw Hu Zhenbang stand up and arch his hand to himself: "How can you be in Xia, thanks to the great handsome's love, the young general is only afraid that he can't climb high." ”

Jelu Kohan smiled and said, "I saw that you were silent for a long time, and said that you don't want to." ”

Hu Zhenbang hurriedly said: "Meng Dashuai raised his love, but he just listened to what Dashuai said, and he felt that he was matched with golden branches and jade leaves, which was like a dream, and he couldn't believe it." His remarks covered up his gaffe to the fullest.

Yelukohan smiled and said, "This is very good, without further ado, I want the two of you to get married in three days, and after you get married, you will go to complete a task together." ”

Hu Zhenbangqi said: "Dare to ask what is the task of the big handsome?"

Jelu Kokand said: "There is no need to be in a hurry, I will arrange it myself." It's just that your father-in-law is now the head and the tail of the dragon, I don't know where he lives in seclusion, and I am afraid that it will be too late to inform him if he finds him, so I have to ask him to drink this cup of wine another day, now you go to the room to rest and rest, and I will explain to the county lord. ”

After Hu Zhenbang gave up, he did not retreat immediately, Yelu Haohan said: "What else do you have to do?", Hu Zhenbang hesitated: "The young general has no objection to this family business, it's just that the old general Kulun has just passed away, and I and the county lord will get married within three days, I don't know if it's appropriate?"

Yelu Kokand said: "You can rest assured that the Khitans are by no means as conservative and formal as the Han people." Hu Zhenbang took the order and left.

Yelu Kokand summoned Yelu Aoshuang into the room again, Yelu Aoshuang only said that his father wanted to blame him for breaking the task, and he was worried, but he saw Yelu Kokand and asked with a pleasant face: "Aoshuang, what do you think of General Hu?"

Yelu Aoshuang didn't know why his father asked this question, and replied truthfully: "General Hu is a good martial artist, and he has a life-saving grace for me, both wise and brave, and he is really a rare general in my Daliao." ”

Yelu Kohan laughed and said, "Your father and I are not deaf or blind, I naturally know everything about what you said." Yelu Aoshuang said: "Then Daddy still wants to ask me, isn't it too much." Suddenly, his heart moved, he guessed something, his face turned red, and his expression became timid.

Yelu Hao rarely did her like this, and said with a smile: "I guess, you are interested in him, right?", although Yelu Aoshuang is a woman among women, she is bold and generous, but she is still a little shy about her father's sudden inquiry, and she just blushed and bowed her head and said nothing.

Yelu Kokand said: "Then Daddy will make the decision for you, and you will marry Hu Zhenbang in three days, are you willing?" ”

Yelu Aoshuang replied softly and shyly: "It's all up to Daddy. With that, he turned and ran out the door.

The third day is coming. Although the happy event of Yelushuai's Mansion came in a hurry, it was not hasty. The Marshal's Mansion has strong financial resources, a large number of people, and everything is done aggressively. Send wedding cards to invite distinguished guests, put up lanterns, welcome guests, wedding banquets, and pile piles of everything, all of which are handled by special personnel. Jerukokand had only been ordered to go down almost the night before, and when he woke up the next day, he saw a huge handsome mansion, already decorated with flowers and beaming with joy.

Everyone knows that Yelu Kokand is very fond of the county lord, and as soon as the news of the marrying daughter of the Shuai Mansion spreads, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty came to congratulate them. Even those who didn't receive the invitation prepared a generous gift to curry favor.

The wedding banquet was held in the back garden of the Shuaifu. The scenery in the park is all imitation of the south of the Yangtze River, the small bridge of Jiudian, a pool of clear water, and the rockery pavilion, which is very pleasant. Because of the wedding banquet, the stone railings on both sides are made of various colors of wind lanterns, silver light and snow waves.

It was early winter, and the trees planted in the garden had already fallen off their flowers and leaves, leaving only dead branches, but they were glued to the dead branches with various colors of silk silk and grass flowers. There are dozens of hanging lights on each tree, and there are various lanterns mixed in it, which are reflected by the lake water in the garden, and it is more up and down to compete for brilliance, the water and sky are colorful, a school of jewelry world, and the glass is beautiful.

The people who ran the wedding errand in the Shuai Mansion also invited all the famous opera troupes and jugglers in Beijing, plus the original musicians and girls in the Shuai Mansion, which made them extremely entertaining. A stage was set up in the garden, hundreds of tables and feasts were set up, the sound of wine was noisy, sheng songs were everywhere, cigarettes were around, and the flowers and shadows were colorful. Endless wealth and prosperity, pleasing to the eye.

Jelu Kokand and the newlyweds are sitting on the chairman, there are many guests, the newlyweds can not toast at every table, the guests who are far away from the seats have come to congratulate the handsome and the newlyweds, these guests who come to congratulate themselves still dare to come only if they can afford to be identical; more guests can only follow the newlyweds from afar to watch the newlyweds, and everyone praises the newlyweds as talented and beautiful, born a pair of wall people.

Among the congratulatory guests, there were many Khitan generals, so at the banquet, the topic naturally came to Hu Zhenbang's defeat of twelve Liao masters in a row during the martial arts competition a few days ago, and everyone was amazed that he had such skills at a young age, but they never thought that everyone's praise for the groom would annoy a Khitan warrior.

This Khitan warrior's name is Shu Dalu, who was originally a captain of the guard under Yelu Kokand, and his martial arts are also considered to be a first-class good hand in the guards, and Yelu Kokand also loves him very much, but he has always coveted the beauty of the county lord, and after a drunkenness, he actually broke into Yelu Aoshuang's tent and verbally molested, Yelu Aoshuang annoyed him for being rude, and immediately reported to his father Yelu Kokand, who remembered that he had repeatedly made military exploits in the past, exempted him from capital crimes, but removed him from the position of captain.

Later, when the Liao people fought with the party members, Shu Dalu fought hard to block an arrow for Yelu Kokand, and regained Yelu Kokand's trust, promoted him to the captain of the guard, and the official was reinstated.

Since then, Shu Dalu has restrained a lot, and he does not dare to be rude to the county lord, although so, seeing that the county lord and Hu Zhenbang are married today, his heart is extremely unhappy, and he said: "You all only know how to praise this newcomer Hu Zhenbang, how can this person be virtuous, and he can actually let the marshal promise the county lord to him." Although when he was competing in martial arts, he defeated the 12 Khitan masters in a row, but he may not be able to beat me. ”

It turns out that this Shu Dalu force is not this poor, born with amazing strength, can pull three hundred pounds of strong bow, has the Khitan "first divine power" said, when Hu Zhenbang and the Khitan master moved, he was in the field on an errand, did not catch up, after coming back to hear about Hu Zhenbang, the heart was greatly dissatisfied, this time I saw the groom and the bride at the wedding banquet is very matched, and I heard the groom and bride in my ears A voice of appreciation, the heart is jealous and hateful, plus after drinking a few bowls of spirits, I can't help but think of a mouthful of evil in my chest.

At that moment, he made up his mind, first poured himself a bowl of wine, walked up to Hu Zhenbang, said some congratulatory words, and then drank the wine first, and said: "General Hu, in Xia Shudalu, I heard that you have defeated the twelve Khitan martial arts masters, and now you are famous in Beijing, it is rare to be so happy today, how about you show your hands here to open everyone's eyes?"

Hu Zhenbang knew that the comer was not good, but he couldn't be too weak, so he smiled at the moment: "I have heard the first divine power of the Khitan for a long time, and I admire it below, but I am just doing this little trick, how dare I show ugliness here?"

Shu Dalu laughed and said: "General Hu is really too modest, our Khitan warriors, the most important thing is the word happy." You don't have to be polite, if you are embarrassed, I will accompany you to practice!"

The Liao people have good customs and martial arts, and on festive days, it is common for the host's family to perform martial arts and entertain guests. At this time, the guests at the wedding banquet were all a little drunk, and when they heard that someone was going to perform martial arts, they immediately applauded.

Yelu Aoshuang didn't want to see Shu Daru, but when he saw that he was looking for trouble again, he immediately said: "Shu Daru, are you here to say goodbye or to make trouble?"

Shu Dalu was drunk, how could he care about so much, and said with a grin: "Your Excellency, the county lord, just passed the door, did you protect your husband?" haha. Jerukokand frowned, and his face was a little unhappy.

Hu Zhenbang saw that the atmosphere was not right, and said in his heart: "If I don't make him majestic, I'm afraid I won't be able to get off the stage today." Immediately arched his hand and said: "So I have to ask for advice, but in front of this full house, why don't you stop at the point?"

Shu Dalu only said that he was scared in his heart, and of course smiled: "That's nature, that's nature." With that, he took Hu Zhenbang's hand and walked to the open space in the field. On the surface, he was holding hands with Hu Zhenbang, but in fact, he secretly used "stone crushing skills" and "diamond fingers" in his hands, wanting to crush Hu Zhenbang's hand bones and make him make a fool of himself on the spot.

Unexpectedly, Hu Zhenbang let him hold his palm, completely silent. Shu Dalu said secretly: "This kid really has a bit of kung fu. He didn't know that Hu Zhenbang had secretly used his internal strength to dissolve his palm power, but he didn't fight back. Therefore, he still doesn't know the depth of Hu Zhenbang's internal strength.

The two walked hand in hand to an open space in front of the banquet, and Shu Dalu said loudly to the guests: "In Xia Shu Dalu, today I will take advantage of the joy of the county lord to practice martial arts with the groom to help the fun, and I hope everyone will enjoy their faces." ”

The Khitan people are good at martial arts, and they like to be lively, and it is also common for them to wrestle and practice martial arts at various wedding banquets, and they do not think they are angry. Seeing that at this moment, a Khitan warrior known as the "first divine power" was going to compete with the groom official who was a new young general, and he applauded at a sky-high price at the moment.
