Sui and Tang Dynasties: You were driven out of Wagang, but you surrendered to Yang Guang and were ma

Chapter 317 The Golden Eagle is in Hand, Leading a Yellow Crocodile on the Left and Capturing a Falc

The system voice sounded again, clear and pleasant, echoing in Lü Xiao's mind.

Lu Xiao felt a little nostalgic; the system hadn't appeared in a long time, and he had almost forgotten it existed.

Now, his own strength has become terrifying.

With the combined power of the Four Symbols and the Fierce Tiger, there's also a chance to escape death, and it's comprehensive with almost no weaknesses.

He himself didn't know how to improve further, but the external rewards were also quite good, supplementing him with some things he didn't have.

Harpy eagles are not native to China, and Lü Xiao had previously preferred the native tiger over the lion, choosing the tiger instead.

Even now, when choosing between golden eagles and harpy eagles, he still chooses golden eagles from his native region.

The king of the skies over the land of China, mighty and fierce, with fully awakened intelligence, will surely be a great help.

He then directly chose one.

"Very well, the situation is urgent. I will immediately gather my men and set off."

After making his choice, Lü Xiao spoke to Yang Guang in a calm voice.

He had to go to the Northwest no matter what.

Even if it weren't for Yang You, it would have to be for the 300,000 Sui soldiers trapped there.

Those are all soldiers of the Sui Dynasty, citizens of the Sui Dynasty; they cannot be left there unattended.

"Zilie, I thank you."

Yang Guang stood up and was about to bow deeply in respect, his waist bending low.

He was pleading with Lü Xiao to save his grandson as a grandfather, not as an emperor ordering his subjects.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. It is getting late, Your Majesty should return to the palace to rest first."

Lü Xiao quickly stopped Yang Guang, holding his arms with both hands and gently helping him up to prevent him from bowing down.

"Alright, I await your news."

Yang Guang nodded, and as he turned around, his back was bent much more, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

He walked out with faltering steps, his back view desolate.

"Uncle, please take care of me. Aunt, I'll be going now."

Yang Tan bowed deeply, showing utmost respect.

He then caught up with Yang Guang, reached out and helped him away, supporting him carefully, as if afraid his grandfather would fall.

"Go, drag Luo Cheng and Yuwen Chenglong away."

Lu Xiao spoke to the guard beside him, his voice not loud, but carrying an undeniable authority.

"promise!"

The guard obeyed and hurried away, disappearing into the night.

After the guards left, only Yang Ruyi and Lü Xiao remained in the hall.

Yang Ruyi sat in the chair, unable to hide the smile on her face.

"Lu Zilie, why did you agree? You really want to save him?"

Yang Ruyi sat down and began to berate Lü Xiao, her voice full of dissatisfaction and complaints, her cheeks puffed out like a toad.

Seeing that Lü Xiao remained unmoved, sitting there drinking tea and completely ignoring her, she had a sudden inspiration. Her eyes darted around, and she said again:

"I understand, you're just pretending to agree, aren't you?"

That must be it. She even coughed on purpose to remind Lü Xiao, how could he not understand?

The couple were of one mind, and he certainly didn't want to save Yang You either, but he just couldn't say it in front of Yang Guang.

"Your father is almost crying with worry, but you're not worried at all."

Seeing Yang Ruyi's carefree attitude, Lü Xiao was so angry that he laughed.

Since he began following Yang Guang, he had never seen Yang Guang lose his composure like this before.

Rebellions broke out in various places, war raged everywhere, and the country was on the verge of collapse.

He also maintained the demeanor of an emperor, exuding authority without anger.

Tonight, however, he has lost all composure and has no trace of imperial demeanor; he is merely a grandfather worried about his grandson.

"Alas, it pains me to see my father like this."

Yang Ruyi sighed, lowered her head, and the smile on her face faded slightly.

Although she wished Yang You would get into trouble, seeing her father's appearance made her feel uneasy.

Changing the subject, she looked up again, a smile involuntarily spreading across her face:

"But I really want to laugh!"

She forced herself to hold it in, her cheeks puffing out and her shoulders shaking, as if she were afraid she would actually burst out laughing.

Lu Xiao looked at her demeanor and shook his head helplessly.

This woman is hopeless.

"Your Highness, what is it? I'm dreaming about marrying a wife!"

Not long after, Yuwen Chenglong's voice rang out as he swaggered into the hall, rubbing his eyes and yawning as he walked.

He looked sleepy, and his hair was messy.

His robes were askew, and he looked as if he had just been dragged out of bed.

Luo Cheng followed closely behind, but compared to Yuwen Chenglong, he was much quieter, remaining silent and calm.

After the fall of Beiping, he was homeless.

Thanks to his father's former subordinates who risked their lives to rescue his mother, the mother and son were able to reunite after traveling to many places and settle down in the Eastern Capital.

"Marry my ass! Pack your things, we're going to the Northwest."

During this time, Lü Xiao had already put on his armor.

The swift Red Hare and the tiger had been waiting outside the hall for quite some time.

One snorted, and the other squatted on the ground, both waiting for their owner to leave.

"Who would they rescue in the Northwest in the middle of the night? He won't live to see dawn!"

Upon learning where they were going, Yuwen Chenglong couldn't help but complain, his voice filled with resentment.

He was so sleepy.

My eyelids were drooping, and nobody would be happy to be dragged out of bed.

"If you're not going, then stay in Dongdu."

Lu Xiao shoved Yuwen Chenglong aside, blocking his way.

"Of course I'm going! How could I not go!"

Yuwen Chenglong merely grumbled and complained, but his steps showed no hesitation.

Even if Lü Xiao ordered him to go through fire and water, he wouldn't say a word, not even flinching.

Luo Cheng remained silent, simply following behind Lü Xiao.

He didn't need to ask where they were going or what they were going to do; he just needed to follow Lü Xiao.

"My husband."

Yang Ruyi chased after him from inside the hall, her skirt fluttering, and threw herself into Lü Xiao's arms, wrapping her arms around his waist and whispering, "Be careful."

Although she resented Lü Xiao for saving Yang You and was extremely unwilling, she was more worried about Lü Xiao's safety.

Seeing this, Lü Xiao lowered his head and whispered in Yang Ruyi's ear, his voice so low that only she could hear:

"Don't forget what you said on the tatami mat: let me enjoy myself properly when I get back."

"Get lost!"

Yang Ruyi's ears turned red as if she had been burned. She gently pushed Lü Xiao and glared at him angrily.

What a shameless person! What kind of time is this?

With a formidable enemy at hand, you're still thinking about this? Can't you put something serious in your head?

"Hehe, I'm off."

Lü Xiao chuckled, then nimbly mounted his horse.

The Red Hare galloped forward with a long neigh, and in the blink of an eye, it was out of the mansion, its hooves clattering rapidly before disappearing into the night.

Yuwen Chenglong and Luo Cheng each went back to fetch their horses, and they did so very quickly.

Before long, the three men and the tiger reunited and headed towards Daxing after leaving Dongdu, speeding all the way.

After passing several checkpoints, the sky was already brightening, and the east was beginning to show the pale light of dawn.
