Mu Hanyi said: "You keep saying that my sister is the princess of Xixia, and you also say nonsense that the two of us are going to take him to Li Yuanhao, where did your words come from, if you don't be honest, we will never let you go." ”

Sandor trembled and stammered, but he did not dare to speak. Hu Zhenbang stepped forward with a smile and slapped him twice, and the acupuncture points on Sando's arms and legs were immediately solved.

Then he picked up the sharp sword that he had been knocked to the ground by Mu Hanyi before, looked it up and down, and said, "This sword is hidden in the handle of Dongbula, if you hadn't taken it out today, you really wouldn't have been able to see it." It turns out that this beautiful musical instrument can also be used as a murder weapon. It's a pity that the heat of this sword is a bit underquenched. As soon as the words fell, I suddenly heard a few sounds of "pop papa", and the sword body made of pure steel was broken into four pieces and fell into the snow.

It turned out that Hu Zhenbang was understatement, and the internal force of the dark luck broke this sword made of pure steel. Seeing that he had shown this skill, Sando was so frightened that he dared to hide it anymore, so he honestly told the words of the two Western Xia lamas that he overheard that night.

After that, he repeatedly kowtowed to Ayimu and said, "Hagul, I really don't know if you are this 'princess of Western Xia', but only by the dagger you carry with you, you guess that you may be a princess from a rich and noble family." Also, these two lamas both said that the eyes of the princess of Xixia are the most beautiful, and you, girl, you have such a pair of eyes that make people and hearts move, so I will be confused for a while, and think that you are, the 'princess of Xixia' mentioned in their mouths, and I am also tempted by the desire for profit, so I want to take you to Xixia while the chaos...... In exchange for some reward. He was so frightened that he stammered and trembled.

Seeing Sando kowtowing repeatedly, Ayimu thought that when he fainted by the stream, he was the one who woke him up, and kindly reminded her to cover her face with a veil to prevent wrongdoers, and to take her to join the traveling team, after all, it was a favor for him. Seeing him like this, he couldn't bear to take more responsibility, so he said to Hu Zhenbang: "Big brother, this matter will be handled by you, no matter what, I will listen to you." It's just that as you said before, he will not die for his crimes, and for the sake of him helping us, spare him. ”

Hu Zhenbang said: "The second sister is kind-hearted, repays grievances with virtue, and is very moved by my brother, I will definitely deal with it well, although my sister can rest assured." ”

Seeing this, Mu Hanyi also said: "My sister is still kind-hearted, unlike some people, who are interested in profit and have a bad conscience, which is really a big annoyance." ”

Sando knew that she was talking about herself, her face was red, how dare she fight back.

Mu Hanyi said to Hu Zhenbang again: "Big brother, Sandor will be handed over to you to dispose of, and my sister and I will go over there to see if these bandits have returned all their things to us." With that, he took Ayimu and rode the white dragon with him and went to the tent.

Hu Zhenbang said: "Sando, let me ask you, are you truly repentant, or are you greedy for life and afraid of death?"

Sang Duo said: "Shaoxia, I am natural, naturally sincere repentance, I am really blinded by lard, my cultivation is not enough, I can't withstand the temptation, please give me a chance to make meritorious service and atone for my sins." ”

Hu Zhenbang said: "You get up, I expect that you are a devout Buddhist, and you must hope that your soul will be able to enter the kingdom of heaven after death in the future, but you are tempted by that interest for a while, and now you will be given a chance to reform yourself, and you must take advantage of it." ”

Sando kowtowed again and again and agreed, treating Hu Zhenbang as a living Buddha.

Hu Zhenbang asked Sando to gather the scattered people, and counted the number again, the original twenty-seven people, eight were hacked and killed by the bandits, and there were still nineteen people, among which there were five wounded, all of them were minor knife wounds, Hu Zhenbang and Mu Hanyi took out the gold medicine they carried with them and applied it to the wounded, and mobilized everyone to bandage them and stop. In addition, the mules and horses that were carrying goods and baggage were counted, but fortunately not one was missing, and the stolen luggage was also returned by the robbers.

The bandit leader, Lao San, led the remnants of the bandits to ask Hu and Mu for their guilt, and Hu Zhenbang reprimanded him again, asking him not to rob people and property and kill innocents indiscriminately. The third man reluctantly agreed, and did not operate such a business again, dispersed the remnants on the spot, and left in the snow overnight.

Hu Zhenbang asked how Sando's itinerary was arranged. Sando looked at the sky and said that the snow did not stop, and it was difficult for the team to get out of the valley overnight, so he suggested that everyone rest until the next day to see how the weather was going to make plans.

Hu Tuobang asked Sando to count the number of tents in which he camped, and only five or six of them were burned down, so he taught Mu Hanyi to arrange everyone into different tents according to their genders.

Seeing that he had a good plan, Ayimu was righteous and stern to those bandits, and influenced the bandits to stop doing evil, and suddenly felt a lot of good feelings in his heart.

Seeing that I had been tossing for most of the night, it was almost ugly. Everyone squeezed into the tent to rest according to the arrangement of the cold clothes.

Hu Zhenbang deliberately shared a tent with Sando to prevent him from changing again. Mu Hanyi and Ayimu lived in the tent next to him, and Hu Zhenbang and Mu Hanyi agreed that they would take turns on duty every other hour to take care of each other.

After this great change in the first half of the night, Ayimu was quite uneasy in his heart, and he put his palms together and recited Uighur scriptures for the deceased.

Mu Hanyi also turned over and over again and couldn't sleep, there was a butter candle lit in the tent, the candlelight reflected in Ayimu's pair of incomparably clear big eyes, the eye waves flowed, and it was even more charming and moving, although her veil was not removed, but this pair of beautiful eyes alone was enough to make men in the world lose their souls and women be jealous. Mu Hanyi looked at Ayimu in a daze, his heart was full of thousands of conjectures and curiosity.

Seeing Mu Hanyi's eyes staring at him, Ayimu smiled unconsciously and said, "Sister, you must be curious and want to see the true face under the veil?

Mu Hanyi was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Sister, you are really a fairy, you can actually guess what I think in my heart." However, even if I am so curious, I dare not ask my sister to let me see your true face, unless you voluntarily let me see it. However, I do want to know if you are really the 'princess of Tangut' as they call you. ”

Ayimu turned around, faced Mu Hanyi, slowly took off the white veil that covered his face, Mu Hanyi suddenly saw a beautiful and vulgar, beautiful and moving face, and with a pair of eyes that were brighter than the stars, as beautiful as a fairy.

Mu Hanyi couldn't help but look stunned, Ayimu smiled, covered the veil again, and said: "Sister, you and your eldest brother treat me sincerely, I naturally can't hide it from you, in fact, my real name is not Haguli, my real name is Ayimu, I am indeed a princess, but not a princess of Western Xia, but a Uighur princess." I haven't found a chance to tell my brother and sister, so now I tell you, you won't blame me, right?"

Mu Hanyi said strangely: "Sister is outside, how can the little sister blame the sister." It turns out that your real name is Ayimu, and this name is easy to hear. It turns out that you are a Uighur princess, so why did you appear here alone when you were returning to the Uighurs this time?

Ayimu sighed and said, "It's a long story, sister listen to me and tell you slowly." I am the daughter of the Uighur king of Ganzhou, Akmu, and the Hexi corridor where my people are located, moistened by the snow and water of the Qilian Mountains, the water and grass are fertile, and they can be cultivated and pastured, and it is a treasure land for the Uighurs of Hexi to live and nourish......

Mu Hanyi interjected: "Yes, this silk road is not only a transportation artery for merchants from the east and the west, but also an important place for the northwest frontier of the Central Plains Dynasty. Ayimuqi said: "Yes, sister, you know?"

Mu Hanyi said: "I heard my father say that this 'Hexi Corridor' has always been a battleground for soldiers, and it turned out to be in the territory of your Uighurs." ”

Ayimu nodded and said: "Yes, yes, this was originally the place controlled by our Hexi Uighurs, but Li Mingde, the king of Western Xia, has been looking down on my Hexi region for a long time, and Li Deming has attacked Ganzhou six times in a row, but he was defeated by the Ganzhou army and people led by my father. Until the sixth year of Tiansheng, Li Deming sent the crown prince Li Yuanhao to lead his troops to attack Ganzhou again, and this time, he broke through the city of Ganzhou. Because of this battle, he also ascended to the throne of Western Xia not long after. It's just that my father was always unwilling to surrender, and finally died in the city of Ganzhou. At this point, a pair of eyes welled up with tears.

Mu Hanyi persuaded softly: "Sister, don't be sad, your father Ganzhou Wang would rather die unyieldingly, his loyalty and righteousness are commendable, and he will definitely leave his name in history in the future, and the people who want to come to Ganzhou will definitely remember his benefits." ”

Ayimu nodded and continued: "My father had a premonition before the war, so he asked me to put on ordinary people's clothes and hide in ordinary people's homes to escape, but I didn't want to steal my life, so I took advantage of the chaos to return to Ganzhou City, wanting to find my father and family. Unexpectedly, Li Yuanhao personally led a team of men and horses to patrol the city, and after I was captured by him, I was taken captive by him to Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Western Xia, intending to violate me, and I was forced to die. Later, he kept sending people all kinds of gold and silver treasures, trying to make me change my mind, which is ridiculous!"

When he said this, Ayimu's eyes revealed a sacrosanct cold light. Mu Hanyi secretly praised: "My father once taught me that the Han people have a saying that 'wealth and nobility cannot be lewd, and power cannot be bent', from this point of view, the father and daughter of the Uighur Ganzhou king are really admirable!"

"How did that sister later become regarded as the 'Xixia Princess'?" Mu Hanyi asked again.

Ayimu then told him how Li Yuanhao had lost confidence in himself and named herself the 'Princess of Western Xia', intending to marry the Tibetans in exchange for certain benefits, and how he heard from the maid Zina that Li Yuanhao wanted to marry him to Tibet in three months, and how, with the help of Zina, he escaped from Xingqing Mansion by burning incense at the Jietan Temple, and as a result, on the way to the Uighurs alone, all the encounters with Sando were finished

I told her all of them.

When Mu Hanyi heard her say that Li Yuanhao was going to marry her as a "princess of Western Xia" and Tubo, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, it turns out that there is such a coincidence!"

Ayimu was surprised to see her suddenly react like this. Just as he was about to ask, he suddenly heard a voice outside the tent saying, "It's not early, sister, aren't you sleeping yet? It's almost time for a shift change!" It was Hu Zhenbang's voice.

Mu Hanyi said happily: "Big brother, you came just in time! Come in quickly, you really have nowhere to find it when you step on the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get here! This thing is so coincidental, it is really incredible!"

Hu Zhenbang yawned outside and said: "What is such a coincidence, I'm sleepy, let's talk about it tomorrow, the boudoir of the two sisters, it's inconvenient for me to go in." ”
