Chapter 315 Urgent Military Situation in the Northwest, Yang Guang Personally Goes to the Prince of
"Go, make a copy and send it to the Prince of Shuo's residence."
Such a joyous occasion naturally deserves to be shared with Lü Xiao, so that he may also be happy.
When the letter reached Lü Xiao, Yang Ruyi was also watching it, leaning very close, almost touching Lü Xiao's face.
"A conspiracy! There's definitely a conspiracy here!"
Yang Ruyi used the same old trick, pouting and speaking in a sarcastic tone.
She simply didn't believe Yang You was that capable; there must be something fishy going on.
"Look, he won again. I told you to let me lead the army to Hebei."
Lu Xiao put down the letter, said with a hint of helplessness, and rubbed his temples.
He had previously volunteered to go to Hebei to attack Qin Qiong, and Yang Guang had agreed.
Yang Ruyi disagreed, saying that Yang You would fall into a ditch sooner or later, and then he would have to clean up the mess in the Northwest.
Besides, the Li family in Hebei is currently locked in a standoff with Qin Qiong, so there's no need for him to take action; he'd only be futile if he went.
After going back and forth for a while, they never actually made it, and it's been delayed until now.
"Don't rush, there's definitely a conspiracy here~"
Yang Ruyi stood behind Lü Xiao, constantly massaging his shoulders with a moderate pressure, trying to soothe him while still spouting the same old clichés.
Over the next three days, battle reports from the Northwest came one after another.
One fast horse after another, with good news arriving almost every day.
After reading it, Yang Guang had it copied and sent to the Prince of Shuo's residence, but that wasn't enough.
Even the Yuwen family received this battle report, as if they were afraid others wouldn't know how powerful their grandson was.
"Your Highness, something's definitely wrong here. Yang You is going to lose."
When Yuwen Chenglong arrived at the Prince of Shuo's residence, he didn't say a kind word. He sat down in a chair with his legs crossed, looking completely confident.
If Yang Guang were here, this kid would have been dragged out and beaten dozens of times, his buttocks bruised and battered.
"Great minds think alike!"
Upon hearing Yuwen Chenglong's words, Yang Ruyi immediately felt she had found a kindred spirit. Her eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait to high-five him in celebration.
How come she never noticed before that Yuwen Chenglong also disapproved of Yang You?
It's such a shame we didn't meet sooner!
"With you all cursing him like this, it's going to be hard for him to win."
Lu Xiao was utterly exasperated by these two; each of them was more adventurous and more prone to cursing than the other.
I wish Yang You would die in the Northwest and never come back.
He had not heard of Xiong Kuohai or Wu Tianxi in the battle report.
The two men disappeared without a trace and did not appear in Xue Ju's camp.
Therefore, Pei Yuanqing alone, plus the battle-hardened veteran Zhang Xutuo, was enough to deal with Xue Ju.
"By the way, Your Highness, why did you make the young master take my brother as his teacher?"
Yuwen Chenglong had another matter to discuss with him, and before he could even settle in, he started making a fuss.
He looked indignant, feeling that there was something wrong with Lü Xiao's arrangement. Why should Lü Zhen become Yuwen Chengdu's apprentice?
What's wrong with Yuwen Chenglong?
With his silver spear, he was invincible. Apart from Lü Xiao, everyone present was a scoundrel who would sell his head for a pittance.
Is Yuwen Chenglong unworthy to be Lü Zhen's teacher?
"If I don't take your brother as my master, am I supposed to take you as mine?"
Lü Xiao was so angry he laughed. He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and shook his head.
When Yuwen Chenglong was being beaten by Yuwen Chengdu, Lü Zhen was present and saw it all clearly.
If Lü Zhen isn't stupid, he probably wouldn't choose Yuwen Chenglong, who's so unreliable, right?
How can someone who's always acting crazy produce any good disciples?
"I am only inferior to my brother in martial arts, and besides, I have other things I can teach the young master."
Yuwen Chenglong was very dissatisfied, feeling that Lü Xiao was superficial and only judged by the level of martial arts.
He admitted that his martial arts skills were indeed inferior to his elder brother's, but he was ruthless and cunning.
The things he knows are things that Yuwen Chengdu could never learn in his entire life.
Moreover, Lu Zhen already holds a very high position—the heir apparent to the Prince of Shuo, who will inherit the throne in the future. Learning martial arts would be useless for him.
Why not learn some ruthless tricks and underhanded tactics from him?
Yang Ruyi, who was standing to the side, listened to the conversation between Yuwen Chenglong and Lü Xiao, her eyes darting around and rolling.
Since the eldest son has become Yuwen Chengdu's disciple, hasn't the younger son become his disciple yet?
If the youngest son becomes Yuwen Chenglong's apprentice, then the new generation of the Yuwen family will all be under the tutelage of the Prince of Shuo.
When Yuwen Shu and Yuwen Huaji die, the Yuwen family will all be members of the Lü family, so what is there to be afraid of?
"Lord Yanjin, do you want a disciple?"
Thinking of this, Yang Ruyi immediately spoke, her voice filled with a mixture of urgency and anticipation.
"I want it, I dream about it! Princess, could you possibly win back the Crown Prince's heart?"
Yuwen Chenglong was incredibly excited, almost jumping off his chair. It seemed there was still a chance for things to turn around!
He knew it; how could no one possibly admire Yuwen Chenglong's abilities?
"Zhen'er is definitely out of the question, but you could consider Yan'er."
Yang Ruyi raised her hand and pointed to Lü Yan, who was watching the show with wide eyes.
The little one was sitting on the blanket, tilting his head and looking at the adults with a blank expression.
"this……"
Yuwen Chenglong scratched his head, looked at Lü Yan, then at Yang Ruyi, and hesitated for a moment.
Isn't it a bit small?
But it's not impossible.
With Yuwen Chenglong around, how could he not teach good disciples?
He will teach her from a young age, laying a solid foundation, so that when she grows up, she will be Yuwen Chenglong's direct disciple, rightfully and legitimately!
"I'll teach you!"
Yuwen Chenglong immediately agreed, patting his chest loudly, his face full of pride.
"Okay, it's a deal. Double happiness!"
Yang Ruyi was overjoyed. She then used her two sons to effectively control the Yuwen family.
Yuwen Chenglong already had a good relationship with her husband, and now she has become Lü Yan's teacher.
When Lü Zhen ascends the throne, how could the Yuwen family remain unscathed thanks to Lü Yan's connections?
If he stands directly on the side of the Lü family, Lü Zhen will gain another ally!
"hiss……"
As an observer, Lü Xiao opened his mouth, but ultimately failed to stop Yang Ruyi.
Yuwen Chenglong was loyal to Lady Lü, and he did not tell Yang Ruyi, fearing that the woman would cause trouble if she found out.
Well, now there's no need to tell her anymore; she took care of it herself.
As Yang You continued to send good news, Lü Xiao also finalized the date for his troops to set off for Hebei, setting the departure date for three days later.
On the night before the troops were to be dispatched, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and all was quiet.
Several fast horses from the Northwest delivered battle reports to the Eastern Capital, their rapid hoofbeats breaking the stillness of the night.
Upon reading the letter, Yang Guang's expression changed drastically; the color drained from his face instantly, leaving him as pale as paper.
He didn't even have time to change his clothes, only putting on an outer robe, before hurriedly leading his men out of the palace.
At this moment, Lü Xiao was lying on the couch, whispering to Yang Ruyi.
However, someone had already knocked on the gate of the Prince Shuo's mansion.
Each sound was more urgent and heavier than the last.
The visitor was none other than Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty.
His face was ashen, and his eyes were bloodshot.
Upon seeing the steward of the manor, he neither inquired nor informed Lü Xiao, but went straight to the backyard.
