Chapter 31 Yang Guang's pancakes are so delicious, I could eat 1 of them!
"General Lü, General Lü, this princess is here again."
Early in the morning, Yang Ruyi appeared outside Lü Xiao's door.
"what!"
Lü Xiao sprang out of bed with a somersault.
During her time in Dongdu, Yang Ruyi would wake her up from time to time.
He was furious and wanted to open the door, drag Yang Ruyi in, and execute her on the spot.
Fortunately, the larger head controlled the smaller head and stopped the car in time.
"Princess, what brings you here again?"
After washing up, Lü Xiao appeared before Yang Ruyi.
"General Lü, Grand Tutor Lü, you seem rather unhappy."
Yang Ruyi squatted on the ground, elbows on her knees, hands supporting her chin, and asked with an innocent look.
"You noticed?"
Lu Xiao stretched, knowing that no one would be happy to be woken up from their sleep.
If Yang Ruyi were someone who was grumpy in the morning, she would have already gone back to her mother crying!
"Hehe, Father said we should get up at the crack of dawn to practice martial arts, where are your chickens?"
Yang Ruyi smiled; she too strictly followed her father's teachings.
"The chicken is inside my belly."
Lu Xiao patted his belly; it tasted delicious.
"No wonder you can't get up every day."
Now Yang Ruyi finally understood why Lü Xiao got up later than a dog.
At this moment, Lü Xiao really wanted to throw Yang Ruyi out.
Compared to Yang Yu'er, Yang Ruyi was like a little girl.
As long as he makes a move, he can make Yang Ruyi fly!
Thinking of this, Lü Xiao was eager to try.
"Princess, do you know why I ate that chicken? It was because it disturbed my sleep!"
As Lü Xiao spoke, he began to sized up Yang Ruyi, considering how best to make his move later.
"Now that you're awake, my father will be coming over later, and you'll get to see him."
Yang Ruyi was completely unaware of Lü Xiao's intentions and continued talking to herself.
"Really? Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Lü Xiao stood up straight, placing his hands behind his back.
He was having a fit of hysteria just now, and he actually tried to throw the princess out.
A moment later, Yang Guang arrived at the door.
"Zilie, the old imperial uncle has sent the letter to the palace. I specially sent it to you."
Yang Guang took out Yang Lin's letter and said somewhat embarrassedly.
Since Lü Xiao was able to stay in the place he arranged, the person in charge was naturally one of his people.
He had only peeked at Yang Lin and Lü Xiao's letters out of sheer curiosity.
This time, he can swear to God he hasn't seen it.
However, the matter of Lü Xiao and Yang Ruyi mentioned in the old imperial uncle's letter is quite plausible.
First of all, it is an indisputable fact that Yang Ruyi has a good impression of Lü Xiao.
Secondly, marrying Lü Xiao is better than marrying a scion of a prominent family.
After all, Lü Xiao was alone and capable, so he didn't have many worries about future troubles.
Once he married the princess, he would be completely tied to the Yang family, which is why he did not object to Yang Ruyi searching for Lü Xiao.
"I'm sorry to trouble Your Majesty to make this trip in person."
Lu Xiao took the letter and found that the seal had not been touched. He silently gave Yang Guang a thumbs up.
What a kind person! He didn't even have the thought of peeping at other people's letters.
"Just something I happened to be doing," Yang Guang said casually, then immediately changed the subject: "Zilie, I've heard about the humiliation you suffered at the hands of Wagang. Do you want revenge?"
"Yes, I do."
Mentioning Wagang immediately energized Lü Xiao.
Once he has the time, he will definitely wipe out Wagang Village.
"You're still young."
Yang Guang shook his head and said.
"What does Your Majesty mean?"
Lü Xiao did not understand what he meant.
"From the moment you became a Taibao, you were no longer on the same level as the people of Wagang."
"True revenge is not about killing your enemy, but about gaining a status they can never achieve."
"Even if Wagangzhai becomes emperor, it's a fake. The one recognized by the imperial court is the true king."
When the throne of Wagang was mentioned, Yang Guang scoffed and didn't take it seriously at all.
It's laughable that they're fighting over a fake king.
"Father, then please bestow upon General Lü the title of True King."
Yang Ruyi spoke decisively, interrupting Yang Guang.
"cough……"
Upon hearing this, Yang Guang coughed incessantly.
This daughter is truly a perfect match; they've hit it off.
"Zilie, fight well in the War of a Hundred Kingdoms, and I will rightfully grant you a title of nobility."
Yang Guang felt it was too early to bestow titles upon him.
First, Lü Xiao's merits do not meet the requirements.
Secondly, given how highly the old imperial uncle regards Lü Xiao, this young man must be a promising talent.
Third, Yang Ruyi liked it.
Once Lü Xiao achieves great feats in the future, with the right timing, location, and popular support, what's wrong with being made a king?
"Your Majesty, I will not disappoint you."
"Lu Xiao said."
"Don't worry, I won't mistreat you. Do a good job."
Before leaving, Yang Guang patted Lü Xiao's hand to show his affection.
Lu Xiao felt something was off. Why were these words the same as what those bosses said?
Oh no, Yang Guang is messing with the CPU!
They've started making empty promises!
"This was sent along with the letter; it's for you."
Yang Ruyi took out the peace charm.
She didn't get it on purpose; she just couldn't suppress her curiosity.
The fact that the amulet also emitted a faint, feminine fragrance made her feel even stranger.
Could it be that Lü Xiao is having an affair?
Thank you.
Lu Xiao tied the amulet directly to his waist; Sister Yu'er was truly thoughtful and considerate.
Even though they are so far apart, they still remember the peace charm.
"Was this a gift from a woman?"
Yang Ruyi seemed to sense the crisis.
"Yes, she was given to me by Sister Yu'er, the adopted daughter of the King of Kao Shan."
Lu Xiao did not hide anything and told her that Yang Yu'er would embroider peace charms for every expedition.
"Oh, I understand."
Yang Ruyi nodded and quickly left with her maid.
"This princess is really... seriously ill."
Lü Xiao complained.
They're usually impossible to shoo away, but now they just run away without warning.
That's good, that way no one will bother me.
In the days that followed, Lü Xiao witnessed the bustling activity of Dongdu.
The foreign envoys who had left not only returned, but also brought back their king.
Even at the very least, he's still a prince, an heir.
Clearly, they were extremely interested in the martial arts competition.
After all, if they win, they can get 10,000 artisans from the Sui Dynasty.
They can also learn various crafts, which money can't buy.
To Lü Xiao's surprise, even the Eastern Turks, who had been repeatedly humiliated by Yang Guang, sent people to help.
This spirit of "a gentleman takes revenge even after ten years" truly impressed him.
Even Goguryeo, which defeated the Sui Dynasty's million-strong army, sent people over; they really had no shame.
Furthermore, Lü Xiao discovered a species that he found most repulsive.
Japanese country.
The Japanese delegation was originally in Goguryeo territory. When they heard about the martial arts competition among a hundred nations, they came with the Goguryeo people.
When Yang Guang heard that the Goguryeo people had arrived, he did not get angry.
He was defeated on the battlefield in Goguryeo, but in this tournament of a hundred nations, Goguryeo will surely suffer a crushing defeat.
Lu Xiao's focus, however, was on the everyday life of ordinary people.
Since we're already here, let's not even think about going back.
To prevent the land of the Sui Dynasty from being defiled, he chose to grind his bones to dust.
