"Do you have anything else to say besides that? Don't forget this is my room!"
Although a little guilty, Han Mo didn't back down with his words.
"Get out!"
As she spoke, the woman flicked her wrist and produced the small dagger from her sleeve again.
"Fine, I'll get out. What's the big deal!"
Han Mo said, curling his lips.
Although this woman wasn't his match, she was injured. Until she recovered, she was a ticking time bomb.
Besides, his most important task was done, so there was no need to waste any more time here.
"Hmph!"
Seeing Han Mo walk towards the exit, the woman let out a cold snort.
"What are you hmphing about? If you weren't injured, I would have already..."
"Would have what? I killed two Tie Yaozi when I was thirteen. If I weren't injured, do you really think your mediocre skills are any match for me?"
Seeing her angry expression, Han Mo's pupils contracted.
Tie Yaozi never operated alone. Being able to kill enemies on the battlefield at thirteen meant this woman's background was indeed not simple...
Seeing Han Mo lost in thought, the woman immediately realized she might have said too much.
Gritting her teeth and stamping her foot, she lay down on the bed with her clothes on, then covered her head with the fur blanket on the bed.
"You sleep soundly, and I'll read here tonight. We'll mind our own business!"
Han Mo became even more curious about this woman. To be on the battlefield at such a young age, could she be from a military family?
If so, that would narrow down the possibilities significantly.
There were only a few famous military families in the Great Song Dynasty.
But if she was from a Great Song military family, why would they send someone to trouble Cai Jing?
Weren't they afraid of Cai Jing's retaliation if the matter was exposed?
Cai Jing's methods were notoriously ruthless.
The Yuan You Party Tablet was his masterpiece.
Even Sima Guang couldn't escape this fate, let alone those military families.
"If you dare to have any ill intentions towards me, don't blame me for being rude!"
Hearing Han Mo's words, the woman stretched out a jade-like hand from under the covers, shaking the dagger she held.
"Look at your figure? What's the difference from a washboard? You can't even tell the front from the back without a close look. Does everyone fancy you?"
"You are shameless!"
As the woman spoke, she suddenly threw the dagger. Han Mo was truly startled.
"I say, this is murdering your husband! Do you know that leads to being drowned in a pig cage!"
Han Mo's words only made the woman angrier. She suddenly sat up from the bed.
"A true man doesn't fight with women. You're injured, and I don't want to fight you!"
Han Mo immediately raised his hands in surrender.
"Too late!"
Being so insulted, even though she knew this fellow was deliberately provoking her, the woman still couldn't remain calm.
"Let me say this first, I'm not afraid of you, I just don't want to hurt you!"
Seeing the woman charging towards him, Han Mo turned around and ran out of the room.
"You stop right there!"
"Only a fool would stop and let you hit them!"
The woman was injured, after all. She hadn't taken two steps before her wound was aggravated, and her movements involuntarily slowed down.
She couldn't stay in this room. Would she have to make do in the study again tonight?
Standing in the small courtyard, Han Mo felt helpless.
"Second brother, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Hearing Han Mo open the door, Chun Tao's voice came from the small room next door.
"I can't sleep, I'm just out for some air. You guys go to sleep, don't mind me!"
It seemed he would have to make do in the study for another night. Han Mo was quite frustrated.
He had wanted to get some useful information from this woman, but he hadn't expected to have underestimated her.
Under the clear moonlight, Han Mo hummed a tune as he walked towards the study.
However, before he reached the study, he saw that the light inside was on.
Han Mo's heart sank. Who could it be at this hour?
Only Han Jiayan and he had the right to enter this study. Even the regular cleaning was only done by Chun Tao.
Now, with someone else in the study at this time, things were getting more and more interesting!
The fact that the woman could enter the study and hide things there in broad daylight had already surprised Han Mo. Now, there was another person!
Clearly, this person was either an accomplice of that woman, or had heard something!
But either way, it seemed like good news for Han Mo.
Creeping towards the study, he reached the vicinity and peered through the crack in the window. Indeed, a man in black, holding a fire starter, was carefully searching something on the bookshelf.
After listening closely and confirming that no one was around, Han Mo suddenly kicked open the door.
"Swoosh—"
To Han Mo's surprise, the man reacted extremely quickly. Just as he broke in, the man threw a scroll of book at him.
At the same time, his body moved like a civet cat. With just a flash and two leaps, he actually broke through the window and escaped.
"Hiding your head and tail. Since you've come, are you too afraid to even meet me?"
Although Han Mo possessed astonishing divine strength, his speed was significantly lacking.
In just a few leaps, the man had vanished.
Watching the man disappear into the darkness, Han Mo dejectedly returned.
He hadn't expected to encounter martial arts experts consecutively just a few days after arriving in the Great Song Dynasty.
This had greatly piqued Han Mo's interest in Jin Yong's "Sea Sounding Tide Melody" and "Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms."
However, his joy was short-lived. Although spring had arrived, the nights were still cold.
With the window broken and the door damaged, it was naturally impossible to stay in the room...
Was he going to be homeless within his own house?
Lighting the lantern, Han Mo chuckled at himself as he examined the book that had been thrown by the man.
"The Wonderful Wizard of Oz," this was likely a rare leisure read in this era. However, this item was clearly placed on the bookshelf for miscellaneous writings.
Moreover, the areas where the man had been searching seemed to be all in the sections for miscellaneous essays and travelogues. If that were the case, then he and that ghostly woman didn't seem to be part of the same group...
ps: The Yuan You Party Tablet was inscribed by Cai Jing in the first year of Chongning during the reign of Emperor Huizong of Song. After becoming prime minister, he sought to suppress his political enemies by engraving the crimes of 309 officials, starting with Sima Guang, on a tablet. It was located outside the Duanli Gate. The 309 officials, along with their descendants, were forbidden from participating in the imperial examinations and were never to be appointed. This was known as the Party Member Tablet.
Because these individuals were all punished for abolishing Wang Anshi's new laws after Sima Guang became prime minister during the Yuan You period, it was also called the Yuan You Party Member Tablet.
Tie Yaozi was the heavy cavalry unit of the Xixia people, founded by the Xixia emperor Li Yuanhao of that era. They were called Tie Yaozi because they wore iron armor all over their bodies.
"The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" is a fantasy novel from the Northern Song Dynasty, not a foreign film.
