Chapter 30 The Spirit Pearl and Demon Orb of the Yuwen Family
"Father, your son is not blindly filial."
Although I contradicted you today, I was justified in doing so.
If you die, your son will take care of you in your final moments and fulfill his duties as a son.
Yuwen Chenglong glanced at Yuwen Huaji, hesitated for a long time, and then turned and left.
Yuwen Chengdu silently turned his head, looking in the direction his brother had left, his eyes filled with admiration.
He couldn't be as carefree as his brother, nor did he dare to disobey his father.
For example, there was once an official who had a dispute with his father in the imperial court, and was forced to resign and return to his hometown.
His father ordered him to ambush and kill them on the way, and in the end, all fifty-odd members of that official's family perished in the attack.
If he had the courage to defy his father like Yuwen Chenglong, he wouldn't have done so many things against his conscience.
"puff!"
In less than three days, Yuwen Huaji suffered repeated blows from his own son, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
He just couldn't understand how the eldest son of the most powerful warrior in the Sui Dynasty, with his extraordinary abilities, could be so completely submissive to him.
But this kid is just impossible to control.
"Father!"
Yuwen Chengdu stood up from the ground and strode over to Yuwen Huaji's side.
"It's nothing, it's nothing..." Yuwen Huaji waved his hand, saying that spitting out a little blood was nothing to die from.
"Chengdu, the Hundred Nations Martial Arts Tournament is extraordinary; you must seize this opportunity!"
Yang Guang was determined to continue his suicidal eastern expedition, and the Yuwen family had no choice but to follow suit.
As the Tianbao General, Yuwen Chengdu had to seize opportunities to demonstrate his abilities and even gain control of a certain amount of military power.
This way, in case of an emergency, we won't miss the opportunity.
"Yes, I understand."
Yuwen Chengdu verbally agreed, but he didn't really think so in his heart.
Whether it was Lü Xiao or any other general.
As long as it can contribute to the country, isn't it a good thing for anyone to show their abilities?
"You're someone who doesn't cause you any trouble."
Yuwen Huaji wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. In just three days, he had been angered by Yuwen Chenglong to the point that he had lost ten years of his life.
While the father and son were locked in a fierce battle, Lü Xiao also exerted tremendous effort to finally send Yang Ruyi away.
He stood in the courtyard; indeed, being handsome is a sin.
However, he has a bad stomach and can't live off a woman.
"Master, a letter from Dengzhou."
The steward rushed over and took out the two letters.
"understood."
Lü Xiao took it and opened it to take a look.
The first letter was jointly written by Yang Yu'er, Luo Fang, Xue Liang, and others.
They asked him if he was doing well in Dongdu, whether he was hungry, and whether he was used to being alone.
Lü Xiao picked up a pen and paper, and quickly wrote a reply with swift, flowing strokes.
Although he joined the Taibao, he did not spend a year or two with Luo Fang, Xue Liang, and others.
But from the words in the letter, it was clear that his brothers cared about him a lot.
The second letter was written by Yang Lin, and it was quite long.
First, he informed Lü Xiao that although Zheng Kun was dead, the Zheng family would not let the matter rest.
In Dengzhou, no one dared to touch Lü Xiao.
But in the Eastern Capital, his reach couldn't extend that far.
If you encounter difficulties, you can seek help from the other nine veterans who were also part of the founding of the Sui Dynasty.
With them and the Zhenyue Sword, ordinary people simply cannot shake Lü Xiao.
"That's very thoughtful."
Lu Xiao had a smile on his face; it felt really good to be cared for.
Immediately afterward, Lü Xiao's smile vanished.
How come people were still urging each other to get married in the Sui Dynasty?
Yang Lin wasn't in a hurry to bring Lü Xiao and Yang Yu'er together, but instead told Lü Xiao to keep an eye on Princess Yang Ruyi in the court.
This princess, though not yet married, is already deeply loved by His Majesty.
If Lü Xiao wants to gain the Emperor's trust, he will not have the opportunity to make achievements and show his abilities in the short term.
But if one could win over Yang Ruyi and become His Majesty's son-in-law, wouldn't that be a shortcut?
Especially with Lü Xiao's handsome appearance and promising young age, which woman wouldn't take a second look?
"Well, you don't even have a wife, yet you're telling me to live off a woman?"
While chirping about Yang Lin, Lü Xiao began replying to the letter.
The letter was very simple, just a complete account of recent events at court.
Lü Xiao also discovered this, and it is stated in the book.
Although His Majesty is autocratic, he is not inflexible.
If it is beneficial to the Sui Dynasty and to the imperial power, Your Majesty will listen.
However, given his current status and position, he is unable to persuade him.
Once he becomes His Majesty's confidant, he will surely offer many words of advice.
"Send the letter to Dengzhou."
Lu Xiao sealed the reply and handed it to the steward.
Time flew by, and during his stay in Dongdu, Lü Xiao kept a close eye on the affairs of Wagang Village.
Qin Qiong became the chieftain, but Wagang Village did not make any changes and remained the same as before.
The letter that Lü Xiao had written soon arrived in Dengzhou.
"Father, it is a letter from the fourteenth prince."
While opening the letter that Lü Xiao had written to his brothers, Xue Liang placed the letter that the Emperor himself would open on the table.
"Hmm?" Yang Lin frowned as he looked at the letter. "Didn't I say it was for Father? Why did you open it?"
"Father, I'm innocent!"
Xue Liang felt as if the sky had fallen. He hadn't even opened the letter; it arrived in this state.
Even his letter looked like it had been opened.
"I understand, you may leave."
After a moment's thought, Yang Lin suddenly understood.
Lü Xiao was in Luoyang, and everything was arranged by Yang Guang.
Even the letters sent out had to pass through Yang Guang's hands.
I never imagined that Yang Guang had this penchant for peeping.
After reading the letter, Yang Lin breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Lü Xiao didn't comment much on Yang Guang in his letter; otherwise, it would have been read by everyone.
"Father, have you heard about the letter from my fourteenth brother?"
Yang Yu'er rushed over and asked in a somewhat anxious tone.
"Yeah, your second brother took it."
Yang Lin said.
"Yes, Father. If you send another letter, please give this peace charm to my fourteenth brother as well."
Yang Yu'er took out the peace charm she had embroidered herself and placed it on the table.
"Okay, Zi Lie will like it too."
After Yang Lin finished speaking, he picked up his pen and began to reply.
After finishing the letter, this time he did not deliver it to Lü Xiao, but instead sent it to the palace to be given to Yang Guang.
Your Majesty is a wise man and understands his meaning.
Moreover, Yang Lin is a member of the Yang family, and he would never harm his own family, nor would he allow others to harm the Sui Dynasty.
I hope Your Majesty will put away this little hobby and stop doing such things.
"Godfather, we've found out what happened."
Just as Yang Lin handed the letter to his confidant, he heard Yin Yue's voice.
"Is someone really rebelling openly?"
Yang Lin opened his tiger-like eyes, his expression full of murderous intent.
"Yes, a man named Wang Bu has led a rebellion. He has already killed the local county magistrate and is recruiting soldiers, intending to expand his power."
"You're courting death!" Yang Lin picked up the Water-Fire Dragon-Binding Staff from the weapon rack and said, "Gather troops immediately and come with me to quell the rebellion."
"Then, godfather, what about Wagang Village?"
Just before, Yang Lin had discussed with these Taibao how to attack Wagang Village.
In the blink of an eye, the target changed again.
"Deal with Wang Bu first."
If Yang Lin's guess was correct, given Lü Xiao's personality, he must also be keeping an eye on Wagang Village.
If he cannot take revenge himself, Lü Xiao will not get his wish.
