Chapter 50: What kind of treatment did they give the child?
A moment later, Yuwen Huaji slowly woke up.
He touched his forehead, wondering how he ended up lying here.
I remember hearing a noise earlier, it sounded like the courtyard wall was crooked, so I came over to check.
Before he even got close to the smoke and dust, it felt like a brick or stone flew over, and then he fainted.
"Father, you're not dead?"
Yuwen Chenglong's words almost sent Yuwen Huaji, who had just returned from the brink of death, back to his doom.
"Then I'll die?"
Yuwen Huaji held his forehead, thinking to himself, "This unfilial son really doesn't want me to be happy."
It has to be Yuwen Chengdu; he always obeys my orders.
"There's no need for him to die." Yuwen Chenglong trotted back, his face beaming with joy. "My lord, my father isn't dead! He's alive and well! Hahaha!"
"Is that so..." Lu Xiao pouted, feeling quite disappointed.
Yuwen Huaji was like a shackle, firmly binding Yuwen Chengdu.
Only when Yuwen Huaji dies can Yuwen Chengdu truly become the Heavenly Treasure General of the Great Sui Dynasty.
As for Yuwen Chenglong, that kid is a demon, and Yuwen Huaji couldn't restrain him at all.
"Should I try harder?"
Pei Yuanqing noticed that Yuwen Chenglong looked happy, but why did Lü Xiao look a little regretful?
Use more next time.
Seeing Pei Yuanqing's keen observation, Lü Xiao felt that Pei Yuanqing's beating was worthwhile.
"What are you using so hard for?"
Yuwen Chenglong asked, puzzled.
"You don't need to worry about it. Since you're both alive, that's double happiness. Congratulations!"
Lu Xiao hung the money bag he had originally intended to give as a gift back on his waist.
Now we don't need to pay our respects, and we've even saved money.
Congratulations!
Yuwen Chenglong clasped his hands in a fist salute and bowed.
Although he didn't know what the joy was about, everything Lü Xiao said was true.
"What happened?!"
Yang Guang arrived with Pei Renji and the Golden Gourd Warriors.
Upon witnessing this chaotic scene, he was momentarily stunned.
Arriving a little late, it feels like I missed a wonderful show!
"Father, this is what happened..."
Yang Ruyi jumped out from the corner, excitedly recounting what had just happened.
As for taking down Lü Xiao and doing whatever she wanted, she had already put that out of her mind.
After all, enjoying the spectacle should always be the top priority.
"What!" Yang Guang was filled with regret upon hearing the whole story.
They should have come sooner!
I've heard people say that nothing beats the thrill of seeing it with your own eyes!
What a pity, what a pity!
"Your subject Yuwen Huaji..." Yuwen Huaji, supported by others, came to see the emperor.
But why are there double images in front of him? There are five or six Yang Guangs in total. Which one should I worship?
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
In the end, Yuwen Huaji randomly chose a gift.
"Prime Minister, are you alright?"
Seeing Yuwen Huaji bowing to thin air, Yang Guang inquired with concern.
"I was blind for a moment, I am guilty, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Yuwen Huaji turned around and immediately knelt down in front of Pei Renji.
Pei Renji, who had been watching the commotion from the sidelines, immediately turned green.
No, he didn't offend Yuwen Huaji, did he?
Why would that old scoundrel want to harm himself?!
"You old scoundrel, you dare harm my father? I'll punch you to death!"
Pei Yuanqing was proud and arrogant, except for Lü Xiao.
He still didn't take the rest of them seriously.
Yuwen Chengdu reacted quickly, reaching out and grabbing Pei Yuanqing's fist.
Otherwise, Yuwen Huaji would have had his skull cracked open again on the spot.
"Father, His Majesty is over here."
Yuwen Chenglong picked up Yuwen Huaji and turned his father around.
"No need for formalities. Since you have a mental injury, you should go home and rest."
Yang Guang was too lazy to argue with a sick person, and if word got out, it would make him seem unreasonable.
Besides, he will need the Yuwen family to take the blame for him in the future, so they must be treated well.
Finally, Yang Guang asked Pei Yuanqing, "Yuanqing, now that you've fought against Zilie, what are your thoughts?"
This kid is arrogant and proud; he definitely needs to experience some setbacks.
His clothes were tattered and he had many wounds on his body.
Lu Xiao's clothes were only slightly dusty, and his face was rosy, clearly indicating that Pei Yuanqing hadn't gotten much benefit from it.
"Brother Lü truly deserves to be called the number one warrior of our Great Sui Dynasty."
My admiration for him is like a surging river, endless and unstoppable, like the Yellow River overflowing its banks!
Pei Yuanqing didn't utter a single lie; he was truly defeated by Lü Xiao.
Pei Renji kept looking at his son, whom he had repeatedly advised against being too arrogant.
As a result, the kid verbally agreed but continued to act as before.
Now that he's been beaten up by Lü Xiao, he's actually changed his ways. That's really strange.
"Oh?" Yuwen Chenglong immediately perked up and interjected, "You also hold the Marquis in such high esteem?"
He sensed a crisis, as if someone was competing with him for the position of Lü Xiao's lackey.
"What?" Pei Yuanqing tilted his head back, still acting as if he owned the world: "Can't I have respect?"
He was completely convinced by Lü Xiao, but he still looked down on everyone else.
He especially disliked the Yuwen family.
"Have you forgotten what you just said?"
Lu Xiao grabbed Pei Yuanqing's shoulder and exerted a little force.
In just a short while, the kid seemed to get cocky again.
You can't just be loyal to yourself, otherwise you'll still be sent away by Li Yuanba with three blows.
"In response to Brother Lü, I had another episode just now!"
Pei Yuanqing stood ramrod straight and spoke loudly.
"Good, keep it up. A strong person should be humble. I would never say in public that I am the number one in the Sui Dynasty."
"Yes, sir! I'll learn from Brother Lü!"
Yang Guang could hardly believe what he was seeing.
No, what settings were changed for the child?
The Pei Yuanqing in the palace was so arrogant and proud, he was completely different from who he is now. It's as if he's a different person altogether.
If Yang Ruyi had even half of Lü Xiao's skills, she would have already won him over.
Seeing that there was nothing entertaining to see, Yang Guang immediately lost interest in staying there.
"Zilie, tomorrow there will be a court meeting, after which I will announce my inspection tour to the north. You should go to court early."
Before leaving, he gave Lü Xiao some instructions.
Other court officials, without much explanation, obediently and dutifully attended the court assembly.
On the contrary, Lü Xiao was not only late, but once he even fell asleep standing up in the court.
"Understood, understood!"
Lu Xiao's voice gradually became more agitated.
They're finally sending troops!
He had been looking forward to this day for a long time, to see just how proficient the "experts in foreign affairs" really were.
"Brother Lü, see you later!"
Before leaving, Pei Yuanqing bowed deeply to Lü Xiao at a ninety-degree angle.
One must treat one's elder brother with this level of respect.
Yuwen Chenglong narrowed his eyes. Good heavens, they really are here to compete with him for the position of lackey.
He immediately prostrated himself completely, muttering, "My lord, see you later!"
