Chapter 35 Look at your mother, she doesn't recognize your father.
That makes sense.
Lu Xiao gave Yuwen Chenglong a thumbs up, saying that the child had been smart since he was a child.
Yuwen Huaji swallowed back the words he was about to say, after all, he had just said that beasts were not human.
But the person who finished him off was his own son!
"Your Majesty, I am very fond of this beast. May I have it?"
Immediately, Lü Xiao took the opportunity to speak.
This system is really something, can't it just be placed in the Lü residence?
He has to ask for it himself, which is too much trouble.
"This beast is friendly to you, so I will give it to you."
Yang Guang was not a petty person. It was just a wild beast. How could it compare to a fierce general?
Let alone wild animals, even if Lu Xiao said Yang Ruyi, he could give her away.
However, this brat doesn't seem to be interested in romantic relationships, which will make it hard for him to grow up.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Lu Xiao thanked him and patted the tiger between his legs.
It feels so good to pet a big cat.
Afterwards, Lü Xiao bid farewell to Yang Guang and rode his tiger out of the palace.
Along the way, the number of people turning their heads to look at them was off the charts.
People have seen tigers before, but they have never seen one this big.
With the tail included, wouldn't it be a full ten and a half feet long?
"Master, you're back..."
When the steward saw Lü Xiao riding on the tiger's back, he was dumbfounded.
"It's intelligent and won't harm its own people, so prepare more meat to feed it."
Lu Xiao waved his hand, saying there was no need to make a fuss.
"Yes."
The steward wiped the sweat from his brow and hurriedly ordered someone to prepare meat, and it had to be fresh.
In the courtyard, Lü Xiao was deep in thought, trying to come up with a name for this guy.
"Big Tiger is not bad."
Thinking of this, the image of Da Hu from the Three Kingdoms Kill game came to mind for Lü Xiao.
Like this tiger, the big tiger is indeed quite large.
"Okay, you'll be called Big Tiger."
Lü Xiao sat down on the ground, his back resting against the tiger.
The left holds the yellow, the right holds the blue.
If we add a goshawk, it will be absolutely perfect.
Even though this big tiger isn't a yellow dog, just ask him if he has yellow stripes.
Yellow stripes are also yellow.
Two more days passed, and without Yang Ruyi disturbing him, Lü Xiao could wake up whenever he wanted.
Today, however, he woke up earlier than anyone else, because it was the day of the Hundred Nations Martial Arts Tournament.
You can be late for the imperial court, but you absolutely cannot be late for the martial arts competition.
The martial arts competition was arranged outside the city, and Yang Guang agreed with Lü Xiao's suggestion.
He ordered his men to dig a huge pit, with steps leading up and down all around the bottom.
To watch the martial arts competition, simply sit in the spectator seats around the pit.
Yang Guang, accompanied by the civil and military officials of the Sui Dynasty, sat facing south, while foreigners gathered on the other three sides.
"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty, the Khan has sent us to extend our greetings to you."
An envoy from the Eastern Turks approached, placed his hand on his chest, and spoke to Yang Guang.
Behind him stood three tall and incredibly strong grassland warriors.
"hehe."
Yang Guang chuckled softly, suppressing the murderous intent in his eyes.
"The Khan says His Majesty enjoys traveling; when will he travel to the north?"
The Eastern Turkic envoy spoke politely, but was more sarcastic than anyone else.
The previous massacre of the Eastern Turkic envoy by Emperor Yang Guang had already enraged all the tribes.
They came here to compete in martial arts, hoping to provoke Yang Guang as well.
If they dare to go on an inspection tour to the north, I will make sure they never return.
Yang Guang picked up his wine cup, drank it all in one gulp, and said, "When I toured the north before, I never forgot the way your Khan prostrated himself before me."
Upon hearing this, both the Eastern Turkic envoy and the warriors behind him clenched their fists.
When Emperor Yang Guang last made his northern tour, the Eastern Turks were too weak and had no choice but to kneel down to greet him.
But things are different now!
The Sui Dynasty's million-strong army suffered a crushing defeat on its eastern expedition, resulting in the loss of troops and national humiliation.
The Sui Dynasty is no longer the Sui Dynasty it once was.
They, the Eastern Turks, will certainly want to learn from them.
"Your Majesty is right. If you were to make another northern tour, the various Turkic tribes would certainly give you a grand welcome!"
The Eastern Turkic envoy gritted his teeth and said.
"After the Hundred Nations Tournament, I will naturally pay you a visit."
Yang Guang had long wanted Yuwen Chengdu to march into the northern grasslands, but the plan was changed because of the martial arts competition.
We should rest and recuperate for a while, and then march north next year.
"We await Your Majesty's arrival."
Once the Eastern Turkic envoy had achieved his goal, he left with his men to prepare for the martial arts contest.
Another group of people came, and upon seeing Yang Guang, they smiled and said:
"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty, you still have some discarded ceremonial regalia in the east that you haven't retrieved. Would you like us to help you return them?"
The visitor was an envoy from Goguryeo, and he spoke of the recent battles.
All nations are present for this martial arts competition.
Yang Guang would not dare to lose his manners in front of the civil and military officials of the Sui Dynasty and the people of the hundred kingdoms, and thus take action against them.
If Yang Guang really ordered their execution, then this trip would not have been in vain.
"No need," Yang Guang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I will go and fetch it myself!"
The repeated humiliations had already enraged him.
But today, he must remain rational no matter what.
"It is good that Your Majesty remembers. If possible, please also retrieve the items left behind by Emperor Wen."
The Goguryeo man spoke slowly and deliberately.
Before Yang Guang, Yang Jian had already launched an eastern expedition.
Just like Yang Guang, they suffered a crushing defeat.
Of the 200,000 soldiers, only one in ten survived.
Sui Dynasty soldiers died in the east, leaving corpses strewn across the fields.
They built a mound of Jingguan (a type of ancient Chinese mound) around these Sui Dynasty soldiers, which still stands today.
"presumptuous!"
Before Yang Guang could speak, several old generals with white hair standing to the side couldn't hold back any longer.
"I think you all have a death wish!"
"Damn it, I'll chop you all up!"
These people were all veteran officials of the Sui Dynasty. They had followed the late emperor on his campaigns and witnessed the rise of the Sui Dynasty.
The disastrous defeat during the late emperor's eastern expedition, with only one in ten of the 200,000 soldiers surviving, remains an insurmountable obstacle in their hearts.
How could we not be angry when the Goguryeo people bring it up again?
"All of you, step back."
Upon seeing this, Yang Guang raised his hand and addressed the crowd.
Today, kings and princes from all the kingdoms are present, and it can be said that everyone is watching the Sui Dynasty closely.
In any case, the outcome must be decided through the martial arts competition.
Killing them now would be a loss of integrity.
"How hateful, how hateful!"
An old general with double pupils sat back down in his seat, panting heavily.
If all else fails, let him handle the duel; he'll go after the Goguryeo people!
"Hehehe."
The Goguryeo people knew that the Sui Dynasty people valued face and would not take action against them.
After chuckling a few times, he headed towards his seat.
Excuse me, could you move aside?
Just then, a voice rang out, and Yang Guang quickly looked over to see that Lü Xiao had arrived with Da Hu.
Lu Xiao charged headlong into their path, repeatedly bumping his shoulder into the Goguryeo man while shouting:
"A good dog doesn't block the way."
"Oh, it's a person! It's so big, I thought it was a dog."
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. You're so magnanimous, you can forgive and forget."
Lu Xiao was tall and deliberately bumped into people, knocking the Goguryeo group over.
Seeing these people glaring at him angrily, he slowly spoke:
"Look at your mother, don't you recognize your father?"
