Chapter 7: Going to the mission together
At this moment, the door of the house was opened, the firelight illuminated the room, and a group of guards poured in, and then a person came out, it was Yelu Kokand, and he laughed and said: "Aoshuang, you have made enough trouble, can you be convinced now?"
Hu Zhenbang was shocked, although he had expected that this was Yelu Kokand's temptation, but he didn't expect that the person who pretended to be a Song man was actually Yelu Kokand's daughter Yelu Aoshuang. At that moment, he let go of the hands of the man in black, and arched his hand: "The young general really doesn't know that the county lord is visiting, but it is the Song people's meticulous work, which is offensive, it is really rude, please forgive the marshal and the county lord." ”
Yelu Kokand said with a smile: "General Hu is loyal to Da Liao, what a crime. It's not really a deliberate temptation, it's just that the little girl didn't succeed in the competition with the general that day, and she wanted to compete with the general, but she was afraid that the general would take care of the identity of the county lord and let his subordinates be tolerant, so she came up with this method to force the general to show her real skills. Today, it seems that General Hu is a step ahead!"
Under the light, the man in black took off the masked black cloth, revealing a pretty face, Hu Zhenbang looked at it, it was not the county lord Yelu Aoshuang! I saw her starry eyes turn, and said with a little shyness: "What my father said is extremely true, Aoshuang is convinced." After that, he saluted Hu Zhenbang and said: "General Hu is very good at kung fu, Aoshuang really admires it!"
Hu Zhenbang said with a smile: "The county lord is also very good, not only is he unaware of the county lord's entry into the room, but he also failed to hear the county lord's voice change and deceived me, and you should be regarded as a Song person's meticulous work, and offended the county lord, and asked the county lord to bear with me!"
Yelu Kohan said with a smile: "It's not a secret, it's not that General Hu is lax, it's actually because I asked people to light the 'Ecstasy Soul Quiet Sandalwood' in the house, so the general fell asleep without defense, if it was an ordinary person, he would not wake up within twenty hours, but General Hu was so vigilant, and he could also take the lead in the fight with the little girl, which shows that the skill is profound." ”
Hu Zhenbang suddenly realized, no wonder there is a sweet smell in the house, it turns out to be the smell of this incense.
Yelu Kokand ordered the guards to retreat, and said to Hu Zhenbang: "General Hu, the hour is not early, there will be a moment before the third watch, you have just received the incense, and you have a fight with the little girl, your body must be tired, tonight's mission will be canceled, and you will act another day." ”
Hu Zhenbang saw that although he was talking to himself in a consultative tone, his eyes were blazing at him, obviously expecting that he would still be able to be ordered to go, so he immediately smiled and said: "I am not at all guarded in the marshal's mansion, I slept at the right time, but it is also sweet, the county lord woke me up and practiced with me, and now I am even more energetic, it is better to complete the task overnight." ”
Yelu Kokand stroked his palms and smiled: "I know that General Hu's martial arts are brave. In that case, proceed with caution, and I am here to wait for your good news. After a pause, he said: "By the way, the person you want to take tonight is about thirty years old, has a long beard, is thin, and speaks with a Bianjing accent. ”
Hu Zhenbang secretly exclaimed: "This Yelu Kokand is really powerful, even the appearance of the fine work has already been clearly detected, it seems that this operation is not only the last test for me, but also the use of me to eradicate the Song people's ambush, it is a plan to kill two birds with one stone." ”
In fact, he also knew that this tea shop was used by the Song people as a place of contact, but now the Liao and Song Dynasty are friendly, and the owner of the shop has not moved, so there is no need to investigate it.
Hu Zhenbang thought again: "Yes, the matter must involve the posthumous volumes of the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts" at Kulun. He deliberately told me in detail about the appearance of the Song people, thinking that he was afraid that I would be soft on the Song people, and I would kill someone casually and come back to restore my life, which should really be a good plan. At that moment, he said to Yelu Kokand: "Don't worry, Dashuai, you will never take the wrong person." ”
Yelu Aoshuang said suddenly: "Father, I want to go with General Hu. ”
Yelu Kohan said: "What are you going to do, this time it's not hunting, this person is a martial arts master, with your martial arts, is it possible that you still want to help General Hu?"
Yelu Aoshuang smiled: "Exactly, maybe General Hu is equal to the masters of the Song people, and it is unknown if he lacks my help." ”
Hu Zhenbang also smiled: "Dashuai, the county lord's martial arts are outstanding, and he is not under me, only because he knows my identity and shows mercy to my subordinates, I have taken the lead, if I can bother the county lord to go with him, the young general will be more confident to complete the task." ”
Yelu Kohan groaned slightly, nodded and agreed: "Then the two of you will go together, no matter whether you succeed or fail, you must come back before the fifth watch." ”
Yelu Aoshuang was overjoyed and said: "Thank you father!", she was not convinced by Hu Zhenbang at the beginning, since a few days ago in the tent with him in the martial arts competition did not have the upper hand, and saw that he commanded the Khitan soldiers to retreat from the wolves when he was calm and calm, he felt that he did have the ability, and this night he tried to fight and was captured by him, and his heart has long respected and admired him, and now he sees him everywhere to speak for himself, and his good feelings are suddenly born.
As soon as she heard that Yelu had agreed to her request and was allowed to carry out the mission with General Hu, she was overjoyed, and the girl's heart was revealed, and she couldn't help but jump for joy. Suddenly, Hu Zhenbang looked at him with a smile, his face couldn't help but turn red, and he lowered his head. Yelu Kohan laughed and said, "The hour is near, you can go!"
Hu Zhenbang and Yelu Aoshuang rode two fast horses and headed towards the central avenue in the city. After the second watch, in the dead of night, only heard the horse's hooves along the way, the two were speechless all the way, seeing that it was only half a mile away from the central avenue, Hu Zhenbang suddenly stopped the horse, Yelu Aoshuang immediately took the reins, and said: "General Hu, how?", Hu Zhenbang said: "The marshal and the old general Ku are all Dao Huanghe Hutong lurking is a master of the Song people, I think it must be very vigilant, if you ride a horse, I am afraid that he will be detected and escaped, now the time is less than three watches, it is better to go on foot?"
Yelu Aoshuang admired it in his heart, and couldn't help but praise: "You are still careful." So the two dismounted, Hu Zhenbang whistled, and the two horses turned around and ran back, turning back in the direction of the Great Marshal's Mansion.
The two of them quietly walked side by side in the direction of Huang Hu. At that time, the third was not enough, and it was even more quiet, and there was silence in all directions, Yelu Aoshuang suddenly broke the dullness and said: "General Hu, two battles, I think your kung fu is broad and profound, and you have learned a lot, where did you learn this good martial arts, I don't know if you can tell me?"
Hu Zhenbang said: "I followed my father-in-law Suo Wangye to practice martial arts, my father-in-law had traveled to the Great Song Dynasty and the mountains, and made friends with Han martial arts masters, so I also learned a lot of Han Shaolin, Wudang, Emei and other internal martial arts and martial arts, and also dabbled in hand-to-hand combat wrestling of the Khitan people. He paused and asked rhetorically: "The county lord's martial arts were learned from the commander?"
Yelu Aoshuang said: "Yes, it was given by my father. But now I am not your opponent, it seems that either the old man is higher than him, or my father has not taught me all his knowledge. ”
Hu Zhenbang laughed and said: "The county lord is joking, Dashuai is the first master of martial arts in Liao, if my father-in-law is thirty years younger, he may not be your father's opponent, and besides, the strength of women is weaker than that of men, not to mention that I am many years older than you, and I have been practicing martial arts for a longer time than you, and when you study hard for a few more years, I may not be your opponent!"
Yelu Aoshuang saw that he spoke humbly, and he had a good impression in his heart, but he pretended to be disdainful on his face: "Don't rely on the old and sell the old, I see that you are not a few years older than me, maybe you are not as old as me." ”
Hu Zhenbang said: "My old man is exactly twenty years old this year, are you as old as me?" He deliberately said this in an old man's tone, and pretended to be serious, and his tone and appearance were extremely funny.
Yelu Aoshuang was amused by him and laughed coquettishly, and said breathlessly: "That's because you are older than me, your old man is above, and my granddaughter greets you, I wish you happiness like the East China Sea, longevity than Nanshan, and longevity." ”
