Chapter 21 Yuwen Chenglong: My grandfather was swinging on a swing in his study.
"Get out of here."
Yang Lin grabbed the reins of Xue Liang's warhorse and said expressionlessly.
"Oh, oh." Xue Liang dismounted and looked up to ask, "And then?"
"And then?" Luo Fang caught the reins Yang Lin tossed to her, cracking her whip with her right hand. "Then you can run back to Dengzhou, so you won't speak without thinking!"
"drive!"
The group cracked their whips and disappeared in a flash.
"You guys, you're all fucking scum!"
Xue Liang ran for a while in his armor, then turned and looked in the direction of Hulao Pass.
"Fourteenth brother, fly! Fly as high as you can!"
"Make those who look down on you look up to you!"
Those corrupt officials have reached the end of their rope.
Lü Xiao is an eagle; he can soar through the sky with a single flap of his wings.
One day, you will make a name for yourself.
In the Guanfeng Hall, Yang Guang looked at Lü Xiao, who was somewhat reserved as he left Yang Lin, and couldn't help but smile.
The boy sat there with his body ramrod straight, like a child waiting to be taught by a teacher.
"Zilie, you are the old imperial uncle's man, so you don't need to treat me like you would other ministers."
"Really...really?"
Lu Xiao asked tentatively, "If you had just told me earlier, I wouldn't have been so reserved."
"certainly."
Yang Guang nodded; he disliked people who were rigid and rule-bound.
The next moment, he heard a snapping sound in his ear.
Turning around, I was shocked to see that Lü Xiao had slammed a sword onto the table.
If he wasn't mistaken, this was the Zhenyue Sword that the late emperor had given to Yang Lin, wasn't it?
This sword is of extraordinary significance, not only because the late emperor valued Yang Lin, but also because of his expectations for him.
Furthermore, this sword possesses considerable power, capable of easily slaying royalty and nobles.
It's called a sword, but it's more like a silent form of imperial power, capable of controlling one's own destiny.
Now that it has been given to Lü Xiao, it can be said that the old imperial uncle has found a successor.
"Your Majesty, is there anything to eat? I'm hungry."
Since Yang Guang had spoken, Lü Xiao no longer held back.
"Someone, bring the food."
At Yang Guang's command, palace servants filed in carrying delicacies from land and sea.
Lu Xiao was truly amazed; this was even better than soup noodles!
The phrase "like a whirlwind sweeping away the clouds" was Yang Guang's second impression of Lü Xiao.
He suspected that Lü Xiao was a reincarnation of a starving ghost in his previous life.
The entire table of food was devoured in the blink of an eye.
Even the soup on the porcelain plate was wiped clean with a flatbread by Lü Xiao, as if it had been scrubbed.
Are you full?
Seeing Lü Xiao pat his stomach, Yang Guang couldn't help but ask.
"Is there anything else?"
Lu Xiao loosened his waistband, how come he was only half full?
"Hehehe." Yang Guang chuckled, finding it amusing. He waved his hand and said, "Serve the meal! Continue!"
He refused to believe it and wanted to see just how much Lü Xiao could eat.
When the news spread, those in charge of the imperial cuisine were completely baffled.
I haven't heard of any banquet today, so why are they ordering meals so frequently?
After finishing two tables of food, Lü Xiao finally let out a satisfied burp.
I must say, royal food is delicious.
Looking at the mess on the table, two words came to mind.
big eater.
But this rice bucket is different from ordinary rice buckets.
Having eaten the food of the Sui Dynasty, they were truly dedicated to their work.
Guan Fengxing walked along the road, stopping frequently, and soon crossed Hulao Pass and arrived in the Eastern Capital.
Following behind Yang Guang, Lü Xiao also enjoyed the treatment of a leader.
Wherever he went, he was surrounded by courtiers who bowed and greeted him.
He never received such treatment in Wagang.
Sometimes he felt that this so-called brotherhood was not as real as power.
"Your Majesty, shall we return to the palace?"
The commander of the Golden Melon Warriors led his men to clear the way, and as long as Yang Guang gave the order, they would clear the streets.
"No need, let's go to the Yuwen residence first."
During this eastern expedition, Yuwen Shu's army suffered a crushing defeat and returned to Luoyang before him, awaiting their fate.
In case this old man does something rash, it's time to give him an answer.
Soon, Lü Xiao followed Yang Guang to the Yuwen residence.
Outside the mansion gate, a tall, golden-armored general stood with his head bowed.
"Your Majesty, I, Yuwen Chengdu, pay my respects and am willing to take the punishment in place of my grandfather."
Upon seeing Yang Guang, he knelt on one knee.
One glory and one glory.
My grandfather returned defeated, his army lost and his country humiliated.
The Yuwen family is full of sinners.
He would have no regrets if he could take his own life in place of his elderly grandfather to be punished.
"Zilie, General Tianbao is a tough guy, help him up."
Knowing his own General Tianbao's temperament, Yang Guang smiled and said...
Lu Xiao stepped forward and grabbed Yuwen Chengdu, only to find that the other man was also exerting force.
The next moment, he exerted force with his right arm, and Yuwen Chengdu was slowly lifted up.
Yuwen Chengdu was utterly shocked; this man's strength was astounding.
Moreover, he knew all the powerful generals in the court, so where did Lü Xiao come from?
"General Tianbao, victory and defeat are common occurrences in war. The Left Guard General is getting on in years, and I will not be too harsh on him."
The Yuwen family was still useful to the Sui Dynasty, especially Yuwen Chengdu.
Emperor Yang Guang valued talent, and out of respect for Yuwen Chengdu, he pardoned Yuwen Shu's crimes.
Just then, a young man rushed out of the mansion, shouting loudly.
He was going too fast when crossing the threshold and tripped, stumbling and rushing towards Yang Guang.
"There's an assassin!"
The leader of the Golden Gourd Warriors shouted and raised his Golden Gourd Hammer.
Lu Xiao showed no mercy and kicked the other man to the ground.
"Your Majesty, this is my second brother, Yuwen Chenglong, not an assassin!"
Yuwen Chengdu, fearing that Lü Xiao would add insult to injury, quickly explained.
"Yes, I'm not an assassin!"
Yuwen Chenglong staggered to his feet, nearly breaking himself apart from the kick.
Lu Xiao glanced at Yuwen Chenglong, somewhat surprised.
He used at least three-tenths of his strength in that kick, if not his full power.
An ordinary person would be kicked to death instantly, so how come Yuwen Chenglong has such a good physique?
Could he be a master as well?
Is this the legendary dual supreme beings from one family?
"Brother, Grandfather is swinging on the swing in the study, and no matter how much Father tries to persuade him, he won't listen."
Yuwen Chenglong disregarded everything else and hurriedly explained.
Yang Guang frowned. What did that mean?
Instead of reflecting on his defeat, Yuwen Shu had the leisure to play swing.
Swinging in the yard isn't enough; you have to go to the study to swing.
Is life really that comfortable?
"Your Majesty, I will go and take a look."
Yuwen Chengdu's heart skipped a beat. He remembered his grandfather saying that he had hanged himself. Could this be the swing that Yuwen Chenglong had mentioned?
"Ahem... I'll go see the hot... no, I'll go see the old minister."
Yang Guang immediately became interested; there was probably something interesting to see here.
Lü Xiao followed closely behind Yang Guang, if he hadn't misheard.
Your Majesty, you mean you want to go see the excitement, right?
Alright, so it turns out you, Yang Guang, also enjoy gossiping.
Soon, the group arrived at the study in Yuwen's residence, led by Yuwen Chengdu.
Upon entering the gate, one sees a white silk ribbon hanging from the beam, with an old man swaying leisurely above it.
Yuwen Huaji knelt silently to the side, clearly having tacitly accepted his father's suicide to protect the Yuwen family.
