58“先生生平最爱之人，叫什么名字?”宫女接着问，虚竹如实回答不知道，引起众人一阵哄笑。“这位姑娘肯定美丽非凡了?”宫女又问，虚竹仍告之她自己从没见过。顿时之间，石室中笑声雷动，众人都觉虚竹讲的是天下奇闻。
58 “What is the name of the person you love most in your life?” The maid then asked. Xu Zhu answered truthfully that he did not know, causing a burst of laughter. “This girl must be very beautiful?” the maid asked again. Xu Zhu still told her that she had never seen her before. Suddenly, the stone room was full of laughter, and everyone felt that Xu Zhu was telling the world’s wonders.
59哄笑声中，就听到一个女子低声问:“你可是梦郎么?”虚竹大吃一惊，忙问:“你可是梦姑么?”不由自主向前跨了几步。这时，他的手被一只温软的少女手掌握住，只听她说:“咱们到里面说话去。”虚竹便被她带入了内室。
59 In the laughter, a woman was heard to ask in a low voice, “Are you a dreamer?” Xu Zhu was surprised and asked, “Are you a dreamer?” He took several steps forward involuntarily. At this time, his hand was held by a soft girl’s palm, and she only heard her say, “Let’s talk inside.”.
60宫女尽数问完，才说:“现在请各位到外面用茶，公主殿下如愿和哪一位相见，自当遣人前来邀请。”等众人一出大厅堂，四周环顾，却不见了虚竹的踪影，他们做梦也没想到虚竹此时已当上了西夏驸马。
After asking all the questions, the palace ladies said, “Now, please go outside to have tea. Your Royal Highness Royal Highness Princess will send someone to invite you if he wants to meet anyone.” When they left the hall and looked around, they found no sign of Xu Zhu. They never dreamed that he had become the Emperor’s Son in Law of the Western Xia.
61这时，梅剑和兰剑两姊妹进来对段誉说她们得到消息，有好几个人设下陷阱要加害他爸爸。段誉一听，心里着急，连忙叫上木婉清、钟灵和家臣，星夜离开灵州城，去敫父亲。
At this time, Mei Jian and Lan Jian came in and told Duan Yu that they had news that several people had set traps to harm his father. When Duan Yu heard this, he was very worried. He hurriedly called Shangmu Wanqing, Zhong Ling and his family to leave Lingzhou City at night and go to his father.
62段誉一行人日夜兼程往南赶去。一天，他们走到了一片树林里，林中有七八间木屋，一个又聋又哑的老妇人在烧水做饭。大家细细查看了一遍，觉得并无异样，便决定在此歇息。
Duan Yu and his party drove south day and night. One day, they walked into a forest. There were seven or eight wooden houses in the forest. A deaf and dumb old woman was boiling water and cooking. We checked it carefully and found that there was no difference, so we decided to rest here.
63半夜，那老太婆不知去向，众人随身带的打火石也被她偷走了。房中一片漆黑，大家这才意识到肯定是中了敌人的诡计。他们赶快找来些木屑，用双刀碰撞火星溅到木屑之中，使它燃烧起来，再借火种点亮了油灯。
In the middle of the night, the old woman disappeared and stole the flint that everyone carried with her. The room was dark, and everyone realized that it must have been the enemy’s trick. They quickly found some sawdust, hit the spark with two knives and splashed it into the sawdust to make it burn, and then lit the oil lamp with kindling.
64过了一会儿，忽然听到一阵声音，外面一阵风卷进来，成千上万只蜜蜂冲进屋来，向各人刺去。顿时，众人手上、脚上、臂上、腿上全被蜜蜂叮得痛痒不止。过得一会，几人一齐晕倒，不省人事。
After a while, a sound was suddenly heard. A gust of wind swept in outside, and thousands of bees rushed into the house and stabbed everyone. Suddenly, all the hands, feet, arms and legs of the crowd were tickled by bees. After a while, several people fainted and became unconscious.
65原来这个圈套是姑苏王夫人，也就是王语嫣的母亲设下的。她也是段誉父亲的旧情人，后被段正淳抛弃。她这回是为了捉段正淳才精心设计了这样一个计划，没想到却捉到了段誉他们几个人。
It turned out that this trap was set by Mrs. Wang of Suzhou, that is, Wang Yuyan’s mother. She was also Duan Yu’s father’s old lover, and was later abandoned by Duan Zhengchun. This time, she carefully designed such a plan to catch Duan Zhengchun. Unexpectedly, she caught Duan Yu and several of them.
66段誉食过莽牯朱蛤，没多久便醒过来了。这时，他看见慕容复走了进来。慕容复本来就深恨段誉，这回趁机建议舅妈王夫人先杀了段誉，然后再以段誉为诱饵捕杀段正淳。王夫人一口答应依慕容复之计去行事。
Duan Yu ate Manggu Zhu clam and soon woke up. At this time, he saw Murong Fu come in. Murong Fu originally hated Duan Yu. This time, he took the opportunity to suggest that his aunt Mrs. Wang kill Duan Yu first, and then use Duan Yu as bait to kill Duan Zhengchun. Mrs. Wang agreed to follow Murong Fu’s plan.
67恰在他们商量着如何处置段正淳父子时，就听外面有人说话。来者正是段延庆。他左杖柱地，右杖横掠而出，七八下便把慕容复手下的包不同、风波恶几个打倒。慕容复知道段延庆的厉害，叫道:“且住!”
Just as they were discussing how to deal with Duan Zhengchun’s father and son, they heard someone talking outside. It was Duan Yanqing who came. His left staff was on the ground, and his right staff was swept across the ground. Seven or eight strokes of his staff brought down Bao Bu and the evil men under Murong Fu. Knowing Duan Yanqing’s strength, Murong Fu shouted, “Stay!”
