Chapter 72 The Power of the Complete Four Symbols
That's right, from now on this world belongs to the young people.
These old fogies should just pack their bags and get out of here!
Following Yuwen Huaji's lead, Yang Guang said, "The Prime Minister is right. I do indeed intend to bestow the title of King upon Zilie."
Upon hearing this, Yuwen Huaji was completely dumbfounded.
No, are you serious?
Why should I?!
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Yuwen Chenglong reacted extremely quickly, sliding in to get close and shouting in agreement:
"Wenhou's talent is comparable to that of Huo Qubing, the General of the Flying Cavalry of the Han Dynasty!"
"Today we have captured Shibi Khan alive, demonstrating our national power. Tomorrow we will surely lead our army eastward, conquer Liaodong, and spread the might of our Great Sui Dynasty!"
Yuwen Chenglong admired Lü Xiao from the bottom of his heart.
He had long seen that Lü Xiao was no ordinary person and that he would one day lead them, the younger generation, to create a new world for themselves in the imperial court.
"Hahaha! Jackie Chan is absolutely right! It suits my purposes perfectly!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Guang immediately clapped his hands and laughed, his brows furrowed with excitement.
Since ascending the throne, he had longed to have a peerless general like Huo Qubing.
To expand his territory and sweep across the land?
After so many years of conquering east and west, they still had to rely on those old-fashioned noble families.
Now, he finally has his own Huo Qubing!
"Brother! Say something!"
Pei Yuanqing also squeezed in excitedly, his baby face full of excitement.
His sworn brother is about to be crowned a king!
Wouldn't he, as the younger brother, also benefit from this rise in status and gain some recognition?
"Zilie, when the army returns to the capital, I will announce to the world that you will be made a king."
May the whole world know that you are my meritorious subject!
Before Lü Xiao could reply, Yang Guang made the final decision.
"Your Majesty, I thank you. From this day forward, I will go through fire and water for you!"
Having come this far, Lü Xiao no longer refused.
When the food is practically offered to you, how can you not eat it?
"I'll give you more official positions and rewards beyond titles. What else do you want?"
Yang Guang spoke again, revealing that he had a second surprise in store.
"Then let's have some gold and silver!"
Lu Xiao stroked his chin and grinned.
He has no other hobbies, except for liking to save money.
It's not that he loves spending money, but he enjoys seeing his home filled with mountains of gold and silver, which gives him an unprecedented sense of fulfillment and security.
"Gold and silver?"
After hearing this, Yang Guang nodded slightly, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes.
It's better to be greedy for money than greedy for power.
A greedy minister is easily satisfied and also easier to control.
"Too narrow-minded! Too narrow-minded!" Yang Guang shook his head, deliberately keeping everyone in suspense. "Think again! Think hard! There are so many wonderful things in the world!"
Upon hearing this, Lü Xiao frowned slightly and began to ponder deeply.
After a long pause, he chuckled and said, "I think it's time to settle down and start a family."
The saying "When you're full and satisfied, you start to think about sex" doesn't entirely refer to matters between men and women.
But at this moment, this was the only thought that popped into Lü Xiao's mind.
He thought of Da Yu'er, her turbulent beauty always lingering in his mind.
"It's good to be married! It's great to be married!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Guang immediately slapped his thigh and beamed with joy, finally getting to the point!
He had been waiting for those words for a very long time!
"By the way! Which family's girl have you taken a fancy to? Just tell me! I'll personally decide for you!"
"I have taken a liking to Princess Yang Yu'er, the adopted daughter of Prince Yang Lin."
Lu Xiao got straight to the point, without hiding anything.
If Yang Guang hadn't sent Yang Lin to capture Yang Xuangan earlier, which delayed things...
He probably already married Yang Yu'er and entered the bridal chamber long ago; they might even have children by now.
"Yang...Yang Yu'er?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Guang was taken aback at first, then couldn't help but chuckle.
This kid has a good eye, but his personality is just too honest.
"My lord! Besides Princess Yang, you might also consider the princess!"
Upon seeing this, Yuwen Chenglong immediately stepped forward to speak up, and his words struck a chord with Yang Guang.
Upon hearing this, Yang Guang couldn't help but look at Yuwen Chenglong with even greater respect.
Look at this kid, he's got a good eye!
He's a hundred times better than his old father!
The people around them were talking enthusiastically, their spittle flying everywhere.
Two entirely new choices suddenly appeared in Lü Xiao's mind.
This reward is once again extraordinary, leaving him no choice but to consider it carefully.
[Option 1: Three's Company, I Want Them All! Reward: Dual Elephant Power (combined with previous rewards, granting complete Four Elephant Power)]
Option Two: A lifelong partnership for two. Reward: Unyielding Spirit (Increased stamina and endurance)
Whether it's option one or option two, the reward is extremely tempting for Lü Xiao.
Increased physical strength means he can expend his energy more recklessly and fight for longer on the battlefield.
And that enhanced durability is related to his future happiness, so its importance is self-evident.
As for the complete power of the Four Symbols, it was of utmost importance to him.
Now, he possesses the power of his ancestor Lü Bu, plus the power of two elephants, making him virtually invincible throughout the world.
But Li Yuanba, who was born with superhuman strength, was an absolute monster.
If they were to truly clash, even with the power of the second stage activated, it's uncertain whether they could match him.
Lu Xiao composed himself and suppressed the thoughts in his mind.
He looked up at Yang Guang, his tone somewhat tentative: "Your Majesty, if I wish to marry the princess as well, is that permissible?"
Lü Xiao could easily see through Princess Yang Ruyi's feelings.
She visited him several times on her own initiative, and even sewed amulets for him by hand. Her girlish thoughts were already quite obvious.
If Yang Guang really agreed, then he wouldn't need to think about becoming Yang Guang's godfather anymore.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to become a father-in-law directly?
"Why not?" Upon hearing this, Yang Guang stood up abruptly, waving his hand with extreme arrogance.
"Marry her, marry her as you please, she's my daughter, I decide!"
Good guy!
This kid has finally figured it out!
For an emperor of supreme status to have to go through so much trouble to marry off his daughter, it must have been quite an ordeal!
"I choose one!"
Since Yang Guang had agreed, Lü Xiao did not hesitate to choose the power of the two elephants again.
Anyway, he has the strength of a fierce tiger, so even if he runs out of strength, he can quickly recover his stamina.
Moreover, with the power of the Four Symbols, if he cannot defeat his opponent before he runs out of strength.
That just means they ran into Li Yuanba.
However, with his second stage, he was not afraid at all.
If Li Yuanba also goes into overdrive, that's fine too; we can just keep adding points.
This is the difference between natural talent and having a system.
The difference in quality is immediately apparent.
"It's a promise, may double happiness come your way!"
When Yang Guang saw that Lü Xiao had made his choice, his smile grew even brighter, and the weight that had been hanging over him was finally lifted.
The throne has been given.
The princess was also given one.
And the Sui Dynasty, is it safe now?
