Chapter 258 Yuwen Chenglong's Sudden Enlightenment
"Your Excellency, how is Sister Yu'er?"
Remembering the important matter at hand, Lü Xiao asked.
He remembered that Yang Yu'er was already pregnant when he left, and judging by the days, it would be soon.
Yang Lin has always dreamed of having a grandson, so we really have to grant this old man's wish.
"Great! Excellent!" Yang Lin's face lit up with a broad smile again when he talked about Yang Yu'er. "She can eat and drink a lot! She can eat two big bowls of rice in one meal, more than I can eat!"
With such a large appetite, the baby in her belly must be chubby, healthy, and chubby.
After he gets out this time, when he goes back, he will probably be able to see the child being born.
Whether it's a boy or a girl, a grandson or a granddaughter, Yang Lin will raise them as if they were his own grandsons and granddaughters.
After he passes away, the throne of the King of the Mountain will be directly passed down to him!
"That's good."
With that, Lü Xiao felt relieved.
Although he couldn't be by their side, he was at ease knowing they were safe and sound.
"In a few days, let's return to Dengzhou together and take a look, shall we?"
No matter what, Lü Xiao is the child's father, and he should go and see his own flesh and blood.
"In Jiangling, Xiao Xian has declared himself king and is poised to revive the Western Liang dynasty. He is ambitious and ambitious." Lü Xiao shook his head and sighed.
"Your Excellency, I cannot return for the time being. The Jianghuai region has just been pacified, and Jiangling is still unconquered. I cannot leave."
How could he not want to witness the birth of his child and stay by Yang Yu'er's side?
However, compared to the foundation of the Sui Dynasty, resolving the rebellion was more important.
Romantic feelings for one's children must be put aside for now.
"Yes, Yu'er will understand."
Yang Lin nodded; these words resonated with him.
The greater good comes first, then the individual family.
Lu Xiao's actions showed that he prioritized the overall situation, proving that Lu Xiao's judgment of him was correct and that his affection for him was not wasted.
"Alas!"
Just then, a strange cry rang out from behind the pillar, startling Yang Lin.
Yang Lin and Lü Xiao both looked over. They saw Yuwen Chenglong, his face flushed, standing up unsteadily, swaying like a candle in the wind.
He was still carrying the jar of wine, which was almost empty.
"Wine! Fine wine!"
As he spoke, he staggered out, his steps unsteady, as if he might fall at any moment.
Lu Xiao didn't pay too much attention and continued chatting with Yang Lin about everyday things.
But a short while later, Yuwen Chenglong returned again, this time with a bright silver spear in his hand, its tip gleaming coldly in the candlelight.
"General Yuwen! How dare you bring a gun into the palace!"
Zhao Chong was still desperately trying to stop him from behind, spreading his arms to block his way, sweating profusely with anxiety.
"It's alright, don't worry about him."
Seeing this, Lü Xiao waved his hand and gestured for Zhao Chong to step down.
He wanted to see what Yuwen Chenglong was up to.
"Hey! This is fun! Let's get this party started!"
Yang Lin turned around and stared intently at the figure wielding the silver spear inside the hall, his eyes fixed on the figure.
He would occasionally pick up his wine glass and take a sip, becoming one of the onlookers, watching with great interest.
Lu Xiao could see that the Yang family all had a gene for gossiping.
Whether it was Yang Guang, Yang Ruyi, or Yang Lin, they all loved watching the excitement and weren't afraid of a high stage.
Yuwen Chenglong's steps were unsteady and his body swayed, but he wielded his silver spear with great force.
Gunshots flashed and gleamed, enveloping the area completely.
As he danced, he muttered incantations in a low, hoarse voice.
"The wine is poured out, but the mood is not yet over; the cold light reflects the shadow of the Wu hook."
Half a lifetime of worldly dreams are poured into a cup, a silver spear is sheathed in drunkenness.
"His marksmanship is impressive."
As a veteran of the older generation, Yang Lin was knowledgeable and had collected many martial arts manuals. He also had a keen eye for talent.
He could tell at a glance that Yuwen Chenglong was drunk and staggering.
Yet his marksmanship was more ruthless and unpredictable than that of a sober person, with each move surprising the opponent.
"There's some skill involved."
Lu Xiao nodded, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
He had only ever seen Yuwen Chenglong's low-class spear technique, which specialized in attacking the most indecent targets.
They stab kidneys, pierce gallbladders, and pull out intestines—it's all incredibly insidious.
This set of drunken spear techniques was unheard of and unseen before; its grand and sweeping movements concealed countless variations.
Could it be that this guy pushed himself to the limit and had an epiphany?
It really proves the saying: you'll never know your potential until you push yourself.
"Strong liquor penetrates the intestines and clears the mind; fleeting clouds pass before the eyes and one understands a thousand years."
Why fight for victory on the battlefield? A life of carefree elegance awaits in drunken revelry.
As the poem ended, Yuwen Chenglong's silver spear suddenly flew out of his hand.
The silver spear transformed into a streak of silver light and, with a thud, pierced straight into a nearby pillar, its butt trembling and buzzing.
He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with surprise, as if he had discovered a new continent.
"Hahaha! I've got it! I've had an epiphany!"
Yuwen Chenglong clenched his fists and shouted repeatedly, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement.
Although his strength hadn't increased—he still had that pitiful amount of strength—he had learned a new set of marksmanship.
This marksmanship, compared to his thrusting into the kidneys or gallbladder, is more respectable and honorable.
"Your Highness! Your Excellency! Did you see what happened just now?"
Yuwen Chenglong rushed to the table, asking with anticipation and a desire for approval.
"Good marksmanship." Yang Lin nodded, giving a fair assessment, before changing the subject.
"It's a pity that the force was a bit lacking. If the force were more, the power of this spear technique could be doubled."
"That's the power again!"
Yuwen Chenglong was initially overjoyed, but then his smile froze, as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water.
After all, to be praised by Yang Lin as having good marksmanship is a rare honor in the world, and it is extremely high praise.
In the end, however, his strength remained a fatal weakness that he could not overcome no matter what he did.
"Old Thousand Years, you are so knowledgeable!" Yuwen Chenglong suddenly rushed to Yang Lin's side and said expectantly.
"Is there anything that can increase strength if I eat it?"
Even if it shortens my lifespan, that's fine. It would be even better if it could shorten other people's!
When the righteous path failed, he turned to evil ways, resorting to any means necessary.
No, not at all.
Without thinking, Yang Lin shook his head and said.
If such a wonderful thing existed, wouldn't it train hundreds or thousands of experts? The world would have been at peace long ago, and there would be no need for him to do it.
"Your Highness! The garrison commander of Jiangdu has returned! The families of the rebels Li Zitong, Du Fuwei, and others have all been arrested!"
Just then, Gao Le, a general of the Chixiao Army, strode into the main hall and bowed to report.
"We're finally back!"
Release Du Fuwei, Li Zitong, and other traitors, take them outside the city, and behead them together!
Lu Xiao suddenly stood up, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.
There are system rewards for killing the rebel king.
He had been waiting for this day for a long time.
Hopefully, the system will open its eyes and give him something substantial, instead of just empty platitudes.
Currently, he possesses the complete power of the Four Symbols and the power of the Fierce Tiger, which is already strong enough.
If it could increase the strength of those loyal under his command, that wouldn't be a bad thing.
