Chapter 77 Yang Lin was extremely excited upon learning the news from Yanmen.
Li Yuanba grabbed Li Shimin's sleeve and said, "Second...Second Brother."
"Yuanba, what's wrong?"
Li Shimin turned his head and asked, puzzled.
"I...I want to go back...back to the mountain..."
During their trip to Yanmen, Li Yuanba was intimidated by a single glance from Lü Xiao, and for the first time, he felt that he was not strong enough.
Moreover, he now lacks a suitable weapon, making him feel even more powerless.
I need to go back to the mountain to find my master and continue to learn martial arts from him, and have him forge me a better weapon.
"Alright, your second brother will take you back."
Li Shimin readily agreed.
He dared not let Li Yuanba stay in Jinyang any longer, otherwise Li Yuanji would definitely take advantage of him.
If they cause a major disaster, the Li family will be completely finished.
"Wait, wait, wait until I go down the mountain again, and I'll fight everyone without being able to defeat them."
Li Yuanba said with a smile.
When he returns next time, armed with weapons, he will no longer fear Lü Xiao.
When that time comes, I must find Lü Xiao and have a match with him.
At this moment, Lü Xiao was traveling south with Yang Guang.
"My lord," Yuwen Chengdu rode up and said to Lü Xiao, "Have you noticed that young man from the Li family?"
The appearance of Li Yuanba made Yuwen Chengdu somewhat uneasy.
He felt extremely awkward the moment he saw the other person.
"That kid is no ordinary person. If General Tianbao were to face him, he would be no match for him."
Remembering Yuwen Chengdu's fate, Lü Xiao couldn't help but give him some advice.
These two are sworn enemies, the kind who love and hate each other.
If one dies, the other cannot survive either.
Eh?
They seem like a pair of star-crossed lovers.
"Thank you for your advice, Your Excellency."
Even Lü Xiao said so, which made Yuwen Chengdu even more wary of Li Yuanba.
"Brother, what are you afraid of? You're the second fiercest warrior of the Sui Dynasty. With me on the team, we'll take the top three!"
Yuwen Chenglong approached, clearly displeased with his elder brother's cowardly behavior.
With both brothers attacking together, how could they possibly defeat a single general?
That's invincible, okay?
"You think you deserve to be in the top three?"
Pei Yuanqing was indignant upon hearing this, as he hadn't even claimed to be the third fiercest warrior of the Sui Dynasty.
This Yuwen Chenglong, a cunning and deceitful fellow, dares to show off like this.
"I don't want to argue with you, kid."
Yuwen Chenglong was too lazy to pay attention to Pei Yuanqing.
This kid doesn't know his own strength. If he were to fight back and accidentally kill himself with one punch, who would he be left to complain to?
With everyone laughing and joking, the journey wasn't so boring.
At this moment, Yang Lin truly couldn't smile.
Just a few days ago, he received a fast horse saying that more than 300,000 troops had gathered at Yanmen.
However, there were still many troublesome matters to deal with within the court, which could be described as both internal and external troubles for him.
"King Kao Shan, let me go to the north."
Yu Juluo stood up and stretched his limbs.
He might never have gone to the battlefield. If the Turks dared to invade, he could have used the head of the enemy general to offer a sacrifice to his own sword.
"That's the only way, old man. You'd better watch out."
After a moment's thought, Yang Lin realized that Yang Yichen, Yuwen Shu, and others could still help him in the court.
Only Yu Juluo, that reckless brute, was far more helpful to the battlefield than to himself.
"Hmph, even if you old fogies die, I won't. Just wait for my good news."
Yu Julu laughed and turned to walk out of the mansion.
He had to go back and make some preparations before rushing to Yanmen.
Yang Lin put his hands behind his back and sighed silently.
The question of what kind of successor the late emperor left behind is truly a source of great concern.
An emperor, instead of sitting comfortably in the rear, insisted on running to the front lines.
Do you have that ability?
Should you run forward?
Now, a whole mess has piled up on my head, making it really hard to breathe.
"Father, you haven't eaten for two days. I just cooked some porridge. Please have some."
Yang Yu'er carried a bowl of porridge into the main hall and said softly.
"As a father, how could I possibly have any appetite?"
Yang Lin shook his head. Even if there were delicacies in front of him, he simply couldn't eat them.
"Father, if you starve yourself, how can you govern the court?"
Yang Yu'er tried to persuade her earnestly.
"Sigh." Yang Lin sighed heavily again, his brows furrowed with worry, and he had absolutely no appetite for a single bite of porridge.
Just then, a series of hurried and heavy footsteps came from outside the mansion, accompanied by a loud shout:
"Old man! Old man!"
Yu Juluo's voice was so loud that it made Yang Lin's eardrums buzz.
"Weren't you already preparing to set off for Yanmen? Why have you come back?"
Yang Lin frowned, his mind filled with confusion.
Are these old buddies still reliable in a critical moment?
"Haha! Go to Yanmen? Go to Yanmen my ass!"
Yu Julu strode into the main hall, his face not showing any sign of seriousness, but rather filled with ecstatic joy, and he burst into loud laughter.
"Are you fucking insane?!"
Upon seeing this, Yang Lin was filled with rage, his chest heaving violently, wishing he could smash the bowl of hot porridge on Yu Juluo's head right then and there.
What time is it? This old man is still spouting nonsense!
"Don't be angry, don't be angry! Look, quickly look at this!"
Yu Juluo's smile vanished. He strode forward and threw a letter at Yang Lin.
It turned out that he had just left the palace and reached the gate when he encountered a messenger on horseback who had come to deliver a message.
The courier had rushed from the north to the eastern capital without stopping, and was already exhausted. After handing him the letter, he suddenly fainted.
Seeing this, he took the place of the courier and hurriedly delivered the letter to Yang Lin.
On the way, worried about the dangers of the battle ahead, he couldn't help but secretly open it and take a look.
Upon seeing this, they were so shocked they were speechless.
His Majesty not only returned alive, but also captured the Turkic Shibi Khan!
That's great, not only do we not have to fight in the north anymore.
Those in the court who harbor ulterior motives and want to take advantage of the situation should also honestly restrain their thoughts!
"This...this...this!"
Yang Lin took the letter with trembling hands. His eyes fell on the handwriting on the letter, and the more he read, the more excited he became. His hands trembled uncontrollably.
He could hardly believe his eyes, and for a moment thought that he had become dizzy from working hard and being hungry for days.
After all, the news in this letter was so shocking, who wouldn't be astonished after reading it?
"That kid Lü Xiao is really good."
Yu Juluo clearly remembered that his eight hundred children were also mentioned in the letter.
He only lost a little over two hundred men in this battle, he really had to kowtow to Lü Xiao.
"Yu'er, porridge! I want porridge, one bowl isn't enough!"
Yang Lin put down the letter and drank the porridge on the table in one gulp.
At that moment, he had a great appetite.
He could eat a whole bowl of porridge, let alone a single person.
"Godfather, please wait a moment!"
Yang Yu'er listened to their conversation and finally felt relieved.
Especially upon hearing that Lü Xiao was safe and sound, she couldn't help but smile with joy, and turned to leave quickly.
After finishing a bowl of porridge, Yang Lin felt much better and paced back and forth excitedly in the main hall.
