Chapter 378 East Meets West, Two Turkic Dance Kings
They're capable of all sorts of despicable acts, from betraying their fathers and digging up ancestral graves to stabbing people in the back and stabbing them in the scrotum.
What if one day this good grandson also learns from Yuwen Chenglong and digs up graves? Wouldn't that be terrible?
Especially since the Lü family doesn't have many graves to dig up, if they want to practice, they'll definitely have to take the Yang family's.
The thought that his grandson's ancestral grave would one day be desecrated by someone, and that the person who desecrated the grave would be his own grandson, sent chills down Yang Guang's spine.
No, we need to resolve this matter quickly.
If all else fails, exile Yuwen Chenglong to the frontier to stop him from causing harm to people.
"So, am I right, Grandfather?"
Yang Guang lowered his head, about to ask a question, but found that his little grandson had fallen asleep hugging his legs.
What else is there to say?
You can't exactly wake the little one who's sleeping soundly, can you?
Alright, let's talk about becoming Yuwen Chenglong's disciple another day.
There's no rush. Let Lü Xiao handle it when he gets back.
the other side.
Yuwen Chenglong, who was being talked about by Yang Guang, looked excited.
He rode his horse, enduring a bumpy ride, but felt no fatigue whatsoever; on the contrary, he was full of energy.
"Your Highness, what do you think of giving this to the Second Young Master as a gift?"
He raised his arm, holding a gray wolf cub in his hand, and waved it around in front of everyone as if showing off.
After all, the Prince of Shuo's mansion was large and wealthy, so money was never a problem.
Other gold, silver, and jade artifacts were so numerous that they couldn't even be displayed openly; the warehouse was overflowing with them.
The warehouse was also overflowing with good-looking and useful daggers.
So instead of giving away things that everyone else already has, it's better to give away some living creatures.
This wolf cub was given to him by local barbarian people when he passed through the ancient Loulan Road.
It is said that the Turks used wolves as totems and held these creatures in great awe, worshipping them as deities.
He presented this Turkic totem to his young apprentice as a gift, which made him very proud.
"Whatever you want. To be honest, I don't even know what the second son likes."
Although Lü Xiao is a father, he neglects to discipline his child, and Yang Ruyi is the one who takes care of him.
He roughly knew what his eldest son, Lü Zhen, liked.
But he really couldn't say what his second son, Lü Yan, liked.
"Alright, if the Second Young Master doesn't like it, then feed this little wolf cub to the Big Tiger."
As Yuwen Chenglong spoke, he threw the wolf cub into a sack and casually buttoned it up.
Watching this scene, Big Tiger couldn't help but drool from the corner of his mouth, his eyes darting around.
Hopefully, even if the second young master doesn't like it, it can still have a treat.
Although this wolf cub is small, it is tender and crunchy when you bite into it.
"We're traveling very fast; we'll be back in Dongdu soon."
During the break, Pei Yuanqing ate and drank while talking, his mouth stuffed full and his cheeks bulging out.
"Without troops traveling together, it's naturally faster."
Lu Xiao took the water pouch, took a sip, and wiped his mouth.
He arrived with only a few riders, and he is doing the same on his way back, traveling light and simply.
"Master Shan, what are your plans after returning to Dongdu?"
Lu Xiao looked at Shan Xiongxin, who was standing silently to the side, and asked.
Along the way, Shan Xiongxin spoke very little, spending most of his time traveling in silence, unlike Yuwen Chenglong who chattered incessantly.
Lu Xiao knew what he was thinking; it was simply how to face Yang You when he got back.
"I will obey the King of Dai's decision."
Shan Xiongxin didn't seem to have much thought about where he was going; his tone was flat, revealing no emotion.
Anyway, since he was under Yang You's command, he could also help Lü Xiao find out Yang You's movements.
As long as Yang You doesn't do anything detrimental to Lü Xiao, he won't betray Yang You.
After all, Yang You had shown him kindness in coming to the imperial court, and he remembered this kindness in his heart.
"Very well, the Prince of Dai suffered a great loss this time, which will surely change many things."
Lu Xiao nodded without saying anything more.
People learn by experiencing setbacks. Yang You's trip to the Western Regions resulted in heavy losses, the loss of cities and territories, and he himself became a prisoner.
This kind of lesson is more effective than a thousand words from anyone.
"Hehe, Your Highness, do you think the Prince of Dai will still be able to become the Crown Prince this time?"
Yuwen Chenglong chuckled slyly, moved closer to Lü Xiao, and asked in a low voice.
Who told Yang You to be so arrogant? Back in the Northwest, he relied on being the crown prince and wouldn't listen to anyone.
Look, they've gotten themselves into a mess.
He lost 300,000 troops, was captured, and will be criticized when he returns.
"It's not like he can't become the crown prince."
Lu Xiao pondered for a moment and then said.
Who in the court didn't know that Yang Guang favored Yang You?
That was Yang Zhao's son, Yang Guang's beloved grandson, and the crown prince of the Sui Dynasty whom he had personally groomed.
As long as Yang You doesn't commit any heinous crimes, his position as crown prince remains secure.
Besides, being captured isn't exactly shameful, but the fact that the first crown prince was captured was indeed somewhat embarrassing.
But as long as you're not embarrassed, then it's others who will feel awkward.
Yang You is a bit thick-skinned; he eats and drinks as usual, attends court as usual, and he can still hold onto his position as crown prince.
The fear is that Yang You himself might not be able to overcome his mental hurdle and would voluntarily relinquish the position of crown prince.
"What if the Prince of Dai is killed by the Turks..."
As Yuwen Chenglong spoke these words, he stared intently at Shekui Khan, who was bound to his horse.
This guy isn't ruthless enough. Instead of killing Yang You, you could have crippled him.
Break an arm, break a leg, or simply render him infertile.
A crown prince who cannot have children is a disgrace to the emperor and would definitely not be able to hold onto the throne.
"What, what are you going to do now?"
Seeing Yuwen Chenglong's ill intentions, Shekui Khan's legs trembled and his face turned pale.
Although the Sui Dynasty people didn't kill him, he was beaten quite a bit along the way.
Yuwen Chenglong would kick him every few days, specifically targeting his still-healing leg.
He grimaced in pain, but dared not retaliate, and could only grit his teeth and endure it.
"You weren't ruthless enough!"
Yuwen Chenglong raised his foot and kicked Shekui Khan's leg, which was not yet fully healed, with a force that was neither too light nor too heavy.
Just enough to make him wince in pain, but not enough to actually kill him.
"Alright, let's keep going."
Lu Xiao was genuinely afraid that Yuwen Chenglong would go too far and kick Shekui Khan to death.
It would be quite a pity if we couldn't give this gift to Yang Guang.
"You got off easy."
As Yuwen Chenglong turned around, he didn't forget to give him another kick before finally mounting his horse with satisfaction.
"By the way, stop tormenting him and get him fully recovered as soon as possible."
Lu Xiao looked at Shekui Khan's miserable appearance and said.
Why did he capture Shekui Khan?
Wasn't it just to gather the Khans of the Eastern and Western Turkic Khaganates and cultivate two dance kings?
Yang Guang was a man who loved to watch a good show. What a sight it was to see two Turkic Khans dancing in the court!
Just the sight of those two men standing there was enough to make Yang Guangle slap them.
