Meishan Su family, Su Yun is the most virtuous

Chapter 276 Why is it here again? It’s not over yet, right?

The scene of three thousand horses galloping was quite magnificent. Even Li Binglin and Yelu Ziming, who were used to big scenes, felt refreshed.

They stayed in the ravine for two days. The autumn weather on the plateau was extremely cold at night. The makeshift tent was drafty on all sides. There was no wine or women, which made them feel suffocated.

The arrival of these three thousand horses meant that they could go to Yanzhou City. Although it was definitely not as comfortable as at home, there would naturally be no shortage of wine, delicious food and women.

Three thousand horses appeared in the blink of an eye, escorted by hundreds of men armed with swords, guns, bows and arrows. Leading the team was an old shopkeeper who called himself Lao Lang. After confirming the true owner of the contract, he asked Li Binglin to sign and then left in a hurry.

Although Li Binglin felt a little strange, he didn't think much of it. He thought that his group was strong and not easy to mess with, so he ran away after the handover and got the matter over with.

The first thing Li Binglin did was to ask Yelu Ziming to arrange someone to come and select the horses. Yelu Ziming was not very happy, but fortunately he still abided by the rules. He agreed that two thousand was two thousand, which made Li Binglin feel relieved.

After the horses were divided, the envoys from both countries quickly packed up their tents, packed up their belongings, tied up their horses, and prepared to set off for Yanzhou.

Then, just as they were about to set off, they saw a scene that made their eyes burst with anger. They saw the 3,000 cavalrymen galloping over again, and leading them was that 'son of the Liang family'!
Li Binglin was shocked and asked, "What are you doing here again?"

'Liang's son' chuckled and said, "Get off the horse! Pack your things and give us the horses."

Li Binglin was filled with shame and anger, wailing, "Why are you here again? You're not done yet, are you?"

This made Su Yun stunned. No, this seems a little familiar. What's going on?
But he didn't remember it for a moment. Su Yun always believed that "things that can be forgotten are generally not important", so he smiled and said, "The New Year is coming soon, and I have to prepare more New Year goods. I have spent all the stock without paying attention. Hehe, it is definitely not targeting you, it just happens that you are still here.

Okay, okay, meeting is fate, let's hurry up, do it quickly, and when we're done, you guys can do whatever you need to do, we should just stay here for the winter, don't make things unhappy!"

Li Binglin gritted his teeth and said, "You are short of money, right? Well, I still have several hundred taels of gold here. You can take it and leave the horse to us. Is that okay with you?"

Su Yun's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "There is also gold. Fine, take it. But we also need the horse."

Li Binglin: “…”

Li Binglin said angrily: "You don't follow the rules! You really deserve to die!"

Su Yun sneered: "I don't follow the rules, do you want me to follow the rules?"

Li Binglin said angrily: "Don't you Song people always say that even thieves have their own code of conduct? If you don't follow the rules, won't you bring shame to the Song people?"

Su Yun laughed loudly upon hearing this and said, "Can someone tell this fool what the rules of the bandits on the Loess Plateau are?"

Someone behind him laughed and said, "I want to tell you that the men who make a living on this plateau will never care about life or death when they see a fat sheep. They will not leave anything behind. They will kill people, rape women, rob gold, silver and jewelry, and will not let go of horses and donkeys. In other words, they will not leave a single blade of grass behind!"

Su Yun turned back to look at Li Binglin and said with a smile: "Do you really want me to follow this rule?"

Li Binglin suddenly became depressed and begged, "Brother Liang, please leave some mounts for us. It will be so embarrassing to walk over here. After all, we are a delegation from a great country. We can't lose face!"

Su Yun laughed and said, "You guys always have a way, right? I don't want to waste my time talking to you guys, hurry up."

Li Binglin had no choice but to wave his hand and ask everyone to dismount and pack up their things. Then he watched with a broken heart as thousands of horses were taken away. The same thing happened to the Liao delegation behind him. Yelu Ziming knew that it was useless to say more, so he did not rush to embarrass himself. He asked everyone to dismount with an expressionless face and let Su Yun and others take the horses away.

Three thousand knights took away three thousand horses, oh, and also searched them for the valuables they were carrying. Well, this is really banditry.

After Su Yun and the others disappeared from his sight, Yelu Ziming turned around and said to the Liao envoys, "Let's abandon the heavy objects and leave Yanzhou first. When we get to other states, we can buy some mules and go directly north. We will return home!"

Li Binglin was immediately anxious when he heard this, and said, "Brother Yelu, Brother Yelu! How can you return to your country? Things here are not over yet!"

Yelu Ziming laughed and said, "Su Yun has been humiliating us repeatedly. It is obvious that he is going to provoke us, hoping that Liao and Xia will be angry and raise troops, so that border officials like him can take the opportunity to make meritorious deeds. Therefore, our Liao country's idea of ​​increasing the annual tribute is definitely impossible to achieve. Why should we go there? Will we be humiliated by Su Yun again in Yanzhou? Or maybe we will be slaughtered as Han envoys? Why bother?"

Li Binglin was confused and asked, "What Han envoy?"

Zhang Erbai quickly explained: “During the Han Dynasty, Han envoys went out on missions. In order to establish meritorious service, they did not hesitate to anger the kings of small countries and make them kill them, so that the Han Dynasty would have a reason to send troops to destroy the country.

Prince Yelu meant that if Su Yun wanted to provoke the Liao Kingdom, he could arrange some accidents to kill Prince Yelu, so that the Liao Kingdom would be angry and raise troops, and then the border officials could make achievements. "

Li Binglin thought of the 'smile' of 'Liang's son' and suddenly felt a chill.

Because it was unlikely that Su Yun would kill the Liao envoy, because if the Liao Kingdom raised an army, it would be the Northern Army that would go to fight, what did Su Yun have to do with it? But if Su Yun wanted to make achievements, he would naturally have to fight against Daxia. If he wanted to anger Daxia, the person he would have to kill would naturally be... him, Li Binglin!

At this moment, his thoughts were the same as Yelu Ziming's - escape quickly!
But the Liao Kingdom was just trying to fish in troubled waters. They would just run away if they didn't want to talk. They even took benefits from the court. It was not a loss for them to run away. They would definitely find a reason to blackmail the court later...

But Li Binglin had a mission to accomplish. First, he had to stop the war and recuperate. Second, he had to try his best to protect Luowu City. Third, he had to take back tens of thousands of captured soldiers!

If he can accomplish two of these things, he will be considered to have made a great contribution, but if he fails to complete any of them, he may be held accountable. If he runs away without saying anything, hehe, then his head will not be his own!

No, Yelu Ziming cannot run away. If he is present, Su Yun might be a little afraid. If he runs away, Su Yun might become unscrupulous!
Li Binglin quickly went up to grab Yelu Ziming's arm and begged, "Prince Yelu, you can't leave. If you leave, what will I do?"

Yelu Ziming laughed and said, "You have a responsibility on your shoulders, but I don't. If I can't come to an agreement, I'll just leave. Why take that risk?"

Li Binglin said quickly: "In fact, there is no particularly big risk. Even if Su Yun wants to cause trouble, he will use me as a scapegoat. He will never provoke the Liao Kingdom. Otherwise, he will not be able to bear the criticism from the Song court alone."

Yelu Ziming still shook his head and said, "There is no need for me to take this risk. Wouldn't it be better for me to go back and be an idle noble? Why should I risk my life to get something out of the fire for you? Besides, even if I can gain some benefits for the Liao Dynasty, what does it have to do with me?"

Li Binglin said quickly: "That's not the case. If you can really gain benefits for the Liao Dynasty, it will be a great achievement for you. Maybe you can become a prince in the future!"

Yelu Ziming sneered and said, "I can't eat such a big cake. Goodbye!"

Li Binglin gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Yelu, I can give you something more sincere!"

Yelu Ziming glanced at Li Binglin and said calmly, "Tell me about it."

Li Binglin said: "I can give money."

Yelu Ziming nodded and said nothing.

Li Binglin gritted his teeth and said, "Ten thousand strings of cash. If you stay, I'll give you ten thousand strings of cash."

Yelu Ziming shook his head and said, "This little bit of money is not worth the risk."

Li Binglin gnashed his teeth and whispered, "When the time comes, we can leave a channel for Brother Yelu to negotiate with the Song Dynasty.

This time, among the markets that Xia Song agreed to open, I will reserve one for myself. I will leave a channel for you at that time. Brother Yelu can give it to the family or keep it for himself."

Yelu Ziming was a little surprised when he heard this, and asked, "Are you really willing to do this?"

Li Binglin gnashed his teeth and said, "If Brother Yelu doesn't stay, this won't work. It's just a mirage. If you don't want to give it up, you won't get it."

Yelu Ziming showed a friendly smile and said, "Brother Li and I hit it off right away, so I'll naturally help you. OK, it's settled."

Li Binglin breathed a sigh of relief, held Yelu Ziming's hand tightly and said, "I will never forget the help that Brother Yelu has given me!"

Yelu Ziming laughed and said, "That's the best, that's the best. Oh, yes, I'm building a courtyard in Zhongjing and I'm a little short of money."

Li Binglin's back teeth were about to break, and he forced a smile and said, "Of course, of course, I'll give you the ten thousand strings of cash as well."

Yelu Ziming laughed loudly and said, "Well, then we two brothers will go meet that young Su Jinglüe and young Su Xueshi. Haha, we want to see what kind of person he is that can make your Xixia so embarrassed."

After these words were spoken, Li Binglin, Zhang Erbai, and the Eight Hundred Iron Harriers of Western Xia all looked unhappy.

The matter was settled, but the problem still remained: how to get to Yanzhou City?

Of course, the journey is not very far, only twenty or thirty miles. If you walk slowly, you can get there quickly. But if you just walk there, that would be too embarrassing!
However, after a brief discussion, Li Binglin and Yelu Ziming decided to go over.

——This must have been done by Su Yun. Maybe the so-called son of the Liang family is Su Yun. At this point, there is no face left. Just walk away.

Being so humble and submissive might have set the right tone, and Su Yun would not be able to say much. If he still insisted on making trouble after what had happened, even his subordinates would be suspicious.

Just do it!
