Chapter 46 The Silver Hammer Protector, Pei Yuanqing
"what?"
Yuwen Chenglong scratched his head, feeling that something was not quite right.
I thought I was one in a million, one of the few truly evil people in the world.
Compared to Lü Xiao, I'm practically a saint.
His grandma's.
Who would have thought that this seemingly harmless kid, with his handsome face, could be so vicious!
He really is a pretty boy, with no good intentions whatsoever.
"Aww!"
The tiger, which had been lying down, roared at Yuwen Chenglong again.
"Are you trying to harm me again?"
Lu Xiao removed his hand from the tiger's head, and the tiger suddenly leaped out.
In an instant, Yuwen Chenglong was tackled to the ground, and the saliva from the tiger's mouth dripped onto his face.
"My lord, how could I? I would rather harm my own father than harm you."
Yuwen Chenglong was truly afraid of Lü Xiao.
Why keep a tiger when there are so many other animals to raise?
"It can distinguish between the loyal and the treacherous, the good and the evil in the world. You are no good person."
"My lord, I never said I was a good person! Please don't make false accusations!"
Yuwen Chenglong struggled; he had just been chosen as the vanguard and didn't want to die in the tiger's mouth.
"What you said actually makes a damn good point."
Lu Xiao was truly helpless against Yuwen Chenglong, after all, he was a demonic being.
The tiger flicked its tail and left, somewhat unwilling.
It was just a hair's breadth away from eating a person.
Although the meat supplied by the manor was delicious, it still paled in comparison to the people.
It especially likes to eat evil people, the more evil the better.
"My lord, I have made extensive preparations for this campaign to sweep the north. Please proceed with confidence!"
Yuwen Chenglong patted his chest.
Although he is indeed somewhat unreliable in terms of personal martial arts skills, he is an absolute expert in logistics.
He knew everything about the terrain and the location of the royal court in the north.
"As long as I don't get lost, it's fine."
Lu Xiao said confidently.
He was afraid that once he arrived at his destination, he wouldn't know the way and would wander around aimlessly like a headless fly.
As for encountering enemies, strength connects with the brain, and the halberd replaces thinking!
"Then there's even less to worry about. I, Yuwen Chenglong, am known as the living map."
"Fine, you said it yourself. If you fail, I'll throw you into the tiger's den."
Lu Xiao trusted Yuwen Chenglong only once.
Although this kid is crazy and acts without any rhyme or reason.
However, he felt that it was still credible in terms of reliability.
"Just you wait and see!"
Yuwen Chenglong left happily and went home to continue his preparations.
Following that heartless Lü Xiao, success is practically a given.
Furthermore, he didn't take the blame himself; it was Lü Xiao who gave the order to massacre the Eastern Turkic people.
Where can you find such a good marshal?
While sipping his tea, Lü Xiao pondered how to make Yuwen Chenglong take the blame.
Since Yang Guang was already planning to make the Yuwen family take the blame, it wouldn't be unreasonable for him to make Yuwen Chenglong take the blame for a minor one, right?
What's that saying again? "The more pots you have, the less burden you carry; the more capable you are, the more you can shoulder."
It has to be said, Yang Guang was truly wicked; I'm much kinder.
At this moment, in the study of the imperial palace, Yang Guang was observing the topographical map of the north.
"Achoo!"
He suddenly sneezed. What happened? Why did he suddenly sneeze?
Could it be that someone is thinking of me?
"Father!"
Yang Ruyi's voice rang out, and she stormed into the study.
She truly had no way to deal with Lü Xiao.
"What, didn't you go looking for Lü Xiao?"
Yang Guang turned around and saw that his daughter was crying with tears streaming down her face.
He frowned and quickly asked, "Did Lü Xiao lay a hand on you?"
"..."
Yang Ruyi rolled her eyes. She wanted to!
It was just a piece of wood, a piece of wood that knew nothing.
After hearing the whole story, Yang Guang burst into laughter.
Their own daughter is really something, a princess of the Sui Dynasty, of noble status and stunning beauty.
Unexpectedly, she repeatedly ran into obstacles while pursuing a marquis.
"Father, stop laughing! Quickly, think of a solution!"
Yang Ruyi grabbed Yang Guang's sleeve and kept swinging it.
"I...I have no other choice."
As the emperor, Yang Guang could have any woman he wanted.
But asking him to find a way to get his daughter a man is a huge problem.
"Father, if I have no other choice, I will not leave!"
Yang Ruyi came to the dragon desk, picked up a brush and started scribbling randomly, determined to vent her anger no matter what.
"Why don't you use your skills on Lü Xiao?"
Yang Guang pinched his brow helplessly; he had a terrible headache over this daughter.
After a moment, he spoke:
"If all else fails, then you might as well use force."
Everyone says that it's wrong to forcibly abduct women, but it's not wrong to forcibly abduct men either.
"Won't this be a little embarrassing if word gets out?"
At that moment, Yang Ruyi actually felt that there was nothing wrong with this method.
The only problem is that it gives people something to talk about, as if she, a princess, has never seen a man before.
"What's so embarrassing about it? You got it, that's all that matters."
Yang Guangcai ignored these rumors and gossip.
In his mind, there is only success or failure.
"Very well, then Father Emperor, give your four great generals who guard the palace to your son."
Yang Ruyi stretched out his hand, demanding the tiger tally to mobilize these four people.
"Take it, take it. They are no match for Lü Xiao. You'd better be careful."
Yang Guang took off a bronze tiger tally from his waist and placed it on the table.
The world only knows that he had the Heavenly Treasure General, Yuwen Chengdu, under his command.
Little did they know that within this imperial city, there were four generals guarding the palace.
Although these four men were skilled in martial arts, even if they attacked together, they were no match for Yuwen Chengdu.
Therefore, he kept it hidden among the golden-armored warriors.
"And there's Yuwen Chengdu too."
Yang Ruyi gripped the bronze tiger tally tightly. She still refused to believe that Yuwen Chengdu, along with the four palace generals, couldn't defeat a mere Lü Xiao.
"Your Majesty, Pei Renji and his son are already outside the palace."
The Golden Gourd Warrior entered the study and spoke.
"Please come in."
Yang Guang said in a low voice.
He wanted to see what extraordinary skills this person recommended by the Pei family of Hedong possessed.
"Your subject Pei Renji, accompanied by his son Pei Yuanqing, pays his respects to Your Majesty!"
Pei Renji entered the study and immediately bowed.
"No need for such formalities."
Yang Guang looked Pei Renji up and down, but there was nothing particularly special about him.
The young man behind him, though young, exuded a sharp and spirited aura.
His eyes were full of fighting spirit; he was indeed a promising general.
No wonder the Pei family of Hedong has always recommended Pei Yuanqing, saying that this son is no less capable than General Tianbao.
"General Pei, how much does your weapon weigh?"
Following Yuwen Chengdu and Lü Xiao, Yang Guang had become accustomed to using the weight of weapons as a standard to measure the strength of his generals.
After all, Lü Xiao's halberd was heavier than Yuwen Chengdu's Phoenix Wing Gilded Halberd.
Therefore, it is reasonable that Lü Xiao is more powerful than Yuwen Chengdu.
"Your Majesty, my weapon is a pair of hammers, each weighing three hundred catties!"
When he said this, Pei Yuanqing's face lit up with pride.
In terms of weapon weight, his was much heavier than Yuwen Chengdu's.
