Blood from Daming

Chapter 223 Talking about Numbers
Zu Dashou raised his head and saw Lord Sun Chengzong arrived, so he avoided answering Xue Yun's topic and stepped forward to meet Lord Sun, Sun Chengzong got off his horse, Xue Yun also left Wulongju when he saw this, stepped forward and knelt down on one knee and said: " Deputy General Xue Yun of Shanxi Datong pays his respects to Lord Jinglue."

Zu Dashou originally left first, but fell behind Xue Yun. Seeing Xue Yun kneeling and saluting, Zu Dashou hurriedly followed him. He didn't choose a good place when he got up, only to find that the hem of his skirt was soaked with blood, making it very uncomfortable. Zu Dashou was very embarrassed and glanced at Sun Chengzong with his eyes from time to time.

Sun Chengzong originally thought that Xue Yun was a prickly pear, but now that he was very respectful to him, he felt a lot better about Xue Yun. Sun Chengzong said: "Today's great victory at Hongluo Mountain is the time to report to the emperor. However, your subordinates have done some outrageous things, how are you two going to deal with the aftermath?"

Both Xue Yun and Zu Dashou heard Master Sun Chengzong's hope that the big and small things would be turned into small ones. Where the two faced each other silently, Sun Chengzong said: "Master Yu, Mr. Mao, let's go and see, General Xue and Zu Shen will you I'm done with work, come here and I have something to say." After speaking, Sun Chengzong led a large number of his men and walked towards the north.

Xue Yun and Zu Dashou looked at each other for a long time, and finally Zu Dashou said: "Fuck it, these things are actually misunderstandings, why don't you pay me [-] silver so that everyone can step down."

Xue Yun stood there without speaking. Zu Dashou waited for a while and saw that Xue Yun did not respond. Afraid that Sun Chengzong would be dissatisfied with him and knowing that Xue Yun was a murderous devil, Zu Dashou stretched out a slap and said with a guilty conscience: "Really! No, 5000 taels of silver is also fine."

Xue Yun shook his head, Zu Dashou opened his mouth wide and said, "Xue Yun, I only want you 5000 taels of silver, it's too much for you to think too much."

Xue Yun smiled and said: "Zu Shen misunderstood me, I will give you 1 taels of silver, but it should be called condolence money. If you agree, everything will be fine."

Zu Dashou pursed his lips and said: "The loss of money and the condolence money are not for the same thing, just according to what General Xue said."

Xue Yun: "That's the best. In addition, it's better to clarify the matter between my Xue family and your ancestor's family."

Zu Dashou said: "What else is there to say when everything has come to this stage?"

Xue Yun: "Yes, Zu Shen said that the conflict between our two families has affected the safety of the Ming Dynasty. As the heads of the two families, you and I should put the interests of the country and the people first, and put the world first and then ourselves. The people ask for their lives, and Zebei is the common people."

Zu Dashou: "General Xue, Liaodong is now the official future owner of the Xue family. I really don't know which of the two of you can make the decision."

After listening to Zu Dashou's words, Xue Yun's face turned green: "It seems that Xue has a high opinion of Zu Shenjiang."

Zu Dashou hesitated to pull his horse and leave, Xue Yun: "General Zu Can Xue has some heartfelt words to say, please listen carefully to General Zu Can."

Relying on Yuan Chonghuan's strength, Zu Dashou didn't want to reconcile with Xue Yun in private. Xue Yun had to listen patiently when Xue Yun had something to say. However, a gentleman loves money and obtains it in a proper way, and he must have principles in everything he does. My principle is that I will never betray my country and people, and I will not betray my country and people at any time. Xue will never allow the enemy family to leave behind any grass or tree."

Zu Dashou said solemnly: "General Xue is saying that someone from my ancestor is suspected of treason for personal gain."

Xue Yun: "You and I are both hereditary clans. Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish which is more important for the interests of the family and the country, but today Xue introduced an old friend from Liaodong to Zu Can general."

Xue Yun beckoned behind him, Zu Dashou didn't understand that Xue Yun would know the person who was very close to him, anyway, no matter how fierce you Xue Yun is, you are still in Datong, but I can't help someone from my ancestor, and follow Yuan You to participate in politics under the big tree to enjoy the cool.

After a while, Xue Yun's general manager, Peng Langjun, brought Li Yongfang to the two of them. Peng Langjun took Li Yongfang's habit of riding his horse on the ground and retreated a few steps. Zu Dashou looked suspiciously at what Xue Yun said about himself. An old friend, this is clearly a prisoner captured by Xue Yun, he is huddled in a pile of dirt and can't tell who it is.

Zu Dashou looked suspiciously at Xue Yun's silence, Xue Yun laughed and said, "Xue forgot that General Zu Can, an old man from Liaodong, is very sloppy now, and it's normal that General Zu Can not recognize him, but this guy didn't fall into Xue Yun's hands." When a certain hand lived like a dog in Shengjing, Jin Guo Da Khan had a grandson-in-law of Han nationality, the ancestral general surnamed Li must have known him."

Zu Dashou was shocked when he heard Xue Yun's words, and immediately looked seriously at the man paralyzed on the ground. He saw that the man's limbs were twitching and his mouth was wide open, gasping for air, but he couldn't see a single tooth in his mouth. Zu Dashou thought to himself Is it Li Yongfang, the famous concubine of Jianlu Jindao in Liaodong and Shengjing, former Daming Fushun guerrilla Li Yongfang? Li Yongfang was not even given the chance to commit suicide.

Zu Dashou looked at the man on the ground and believed that it was Li Yongfang. Xue Yun, a dignified lieutenant general of the Ming Dynasty, no matter how poor his character was, he would not engage in any tricks. As a result, it's really unlucky. How did my ancestor Dashou encounter such a vicious bully? If he had a grudge with the Xue family, if it fell into Xue Yun's hands, it would be many times more painful than Li Yongfang.

Zu Dashou said indifferently: "General Xue, you really are ruthless. Isn't it too much to deal with a prisoner like this?"

Xue Yun laughed: "General Zu Shen, I didn't see any captives, but I saw an animal under my feet. Now the big animal is half dead, and one of the small animals died. In fact, I love animals very much, so I let go of my kindness. The mother of the domestic animals was given to this subordinate of mine in advance, and now this subordinate of mine is the reserve golden sword son-in-law of the Kingdom of Jin."

Zu Dashou said in his heart that this Xue Yun was not only cruel and poisonous, but also cut grass and roots. My ancestor Dashou thought he was already a villain, but he did not expect to meet the ancestor of the villain today. No wonder his subordinates Xue Polu, Lu Yaojin, and The captain of the personal army learned from Xue Yun, a lunatic. Alas, my ancestor Dashou palmed red and eats black sitting on the ground. Today depends on the face of Xue Yun, a dragon crossing the river. Let’s walk in 30 years in Hedong and 40 years in Hexi voila.

Zu Dashou adjusted his mood and said to Xue Yun: "Li Yongfang, this bastard, I hate traitors who seek glory the most in my life. I wish I could eat his flesh alive. I hope that General Xue will keep his word and set an example for everyone."

Xue Yun could hear Zu Dashou's tone of resignation, so he stopped embarrassing Zu Dashou and said: "Everyone should work together in harmony as ministers in the same palace. I believe that Liaodong and Datong can still accommodate two people's bodies."

Xue Yun also fooled Zu Dashou first, otherwise he would not only benefit from the trouble, but he might also be forced to rebel. Xue Yun himself didn't want to be a sinner of the Han nation, let alone Zu Dashou now If you don’t rebel and turn to the enemy, try your best to hold these Liao people at both ends of the Liaodong to fight against Jianlu. Anyway, if Ming is stronger, Jianlu will be weaker. In turn, these people will go to Jianlu. It’s not me. Can people get along with their own people?

Zu Dashou naturally understood what Xue Yun said, and now he had nothing to do with Xue Yun, so he let him go, so he said to Xue Yun: "General Xue, since our two families have talked about it today, I will try my best to restrain my subordinates in the future, I hope General Xue can also put more restraint on his troops."

Xue Yun: "That's easy to say, but Xue still hopes that you and I can be friends, and don't become enemies if it doesn't work. I hope General Zu will think about it."

After Xue Yun finished speaking, he beat the horse and left. Mr. Peng Lang carried Li Yongfang across the horse. It may be that Li Yongfang had heard the wife and children Xue Yun had dealt with. He reacted fiercely and kept twisting on the horse. The subordinates were very impatient, and directly threw Li Yongfang to the ground, and dragged Li Yongfang away by holding Li Yongfang's hair upside down.

Zu Dashou was taken aback when he saw it. Xue Yun's subordinates are full of ruthless characters. It seems that Xue Yun is really not easy to mess with. Zu Dashou was out for a while and was about to leave. When they came to the front, the two soldiers put down a box each, and one of them said to Zu Dashou: "General, under the order of General Xue, I sent you 1000 taels of gold, please check it."

Zu Dashou knew that it was Xue Yun who gave him the condolence money, so he waved his hand and let Xue Yun's two cavalry leave. Zu Dashou secretly thought that Xue Yun was really rich, so he immediately took out the money, and it was gold. In this war-torn place, the price of gold keeps going upside down for the convenience of carrying. This 1000 taels of gold can be exchanged for at least 1000 more taels of silver in Liaodong.

After Xue Yun drove his horse away from Zu Dashou, he ran towards the place where Master Sun Chengzong was. Sun Chengzong didn't ask Xue Yun about the war with Zu Dashou, but asked Xue Yun, "I don't know how General Xue knew that I came to help after a fierce battle in Liaodong."

Xue Yun: "Master Jinglue, I'm not a god, how could I know about the war in Liaodong? The last general was actually ordered to chase down the Mongolian rebels. The team went deep into the vicinity of Horqin and Liaoxi. This morning, I was preparing to leave camp and return to the west. I received a message from Mr. Jinglue." Only then did I come to Hongluo Mountain to help, and then I knew that Master Jinglue had planned a strategy and won a complete victory."
