Chapter 392 Disciple, just tell me whose grave you want to dig up, and your master will help you!
But their methods are the most ruthless and vicious, resorting to any means necessary.
Although some people disdain Yuwen Chenglong's methods, considering them the actions of a petty person and not the behavior of a great man.
But in the end, no one can compare to it.
Those people may say they're disdainful, but if you actually let them fight, they wouldn't stand a chance.
Following this, Yang Guang bestowed titles upon all the other civil and military officials, from top to bottom, leaving no one out.
It was Shan Xiongxin who followed Yang You on the western expedition, although he suffered a defeat and lost many soldiers and generals.
But he fought desperately on the battlefield to protect Yang You's escape, and his merits and demerits canceled each other out. He was promoted several ranks, so it wasn't a wasted trip.
At the victory celebration banquet, all the officials in the court benefited.
Some people were promoted, some were granted titles, some received rewards, and some were commended.
The entire hall was filled with a joyous atmosphere, with toasts being made and laughter echoing throughout.
The person who reaped the greatest benefits was Lü Xiao, who not only became a trusted minister entrusted with the care of the young emperor, but also held the highest position among officials, second only to the emperor.
Yuwen Chenglong, one of his subordinates, became the Duke of the current dynasty, enjoying unparalleled prestige.
Pei Yuanqing was also a Duke, but in the eyes of others, although the Pei family was close to the Lü family, they did not express their stance like Yuwen Chenglong.
"Hahaha, from this day forward I am also a Duke!"
Yuwen Chenglong held the wine cup, gently toying with it, turning it between his fingers, his head almost tilted back to the sky.
What does it mean to feel triumphant and elated?
That's what you call finally getting your head held high!
What does it mean to be superior to others?
That's what it means to be superior!
From now on, anyone who sees Yuwen Chenglong must respectfully address him as Duke.
"Oh, aren't you going to sit with your dad?"
Pei Yuanqing arrived at Yuwen Chenglong's place, knowing the answer already, and asked a gloating smile on his lips.
Besides the two Khans, this father and son also impressed everyone today.
The father is drinking alone over there, while the son is drinking to celebrate his victory over his son.
They were separated by several tables and didn't even glance at each other.
The family members were more divided than anyone else, and when they met, they acted like enemies, which was quite a scene.
"Young man, my lineage is small."
When Yuwen Chenglong saw Pei Yuanqing coming over to tease him, his eyes lit up and he immediately came up with a plan, a sly smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
"Then give birth."
Pei Yuanqing said casually.
"I'm afraid it's too late. Go back and discuss with your father about giving you to me as an adopted child."
"Then you can be called Yuwen Yuanqing. With two Dukes from the same family, wouldn't we be invincible?"
Yuwen Chenglong grinned slyly, his eyes narrowed into slits, and his mouth stretched almost to his ears.
He's not at a loss if a good son falls from the sky.
"I really want to teach you a lesson on behalf of your father."
Upon hearing this, Pei Yuanqing understood and clenched his fist, his knuckles cracking.
Why didn't that old fellow Yuwen Huaji just be ruthless and drown Yuwen Chenglong when he was born, so that this guy wouldn't cause trouble for people all day long?
"Let's talk about disciplining your father after you become my son."
Yuwen Chenglong didn't care about Pei Yuanqing's words at all and said leisurely.
Pei Yuanqing was speechless for a moment. He opened and closed his mouth repeatedly, but after a long time, he couldn't utter a single word.
He had intended to disgust Yuwen Chenglong, but instead, he was disgusted by the other party instead.
All the words in my mouth were stuck in my throat, I couldn't spit them out or swallow them down.
He still needs to work on how shameless he can be.
Even a hundred of them couldn't compare to one Yuwen Chenglong.
Their skin is made of iron and cast in bronze; it's impervious to swords and spears, and unaffected by water and fire.
"Master, you're so shameless!"
Lu Yan suddenly appeared from the side, lay down next to Yuwen Chenglong, looked up at him with a grin, and said.
"Haha, of course, otherwise how could I be your master?"
If it were someone else being called shameless, they would definitely be furious, their face turning red and their neck thickening, wishing they could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Yuwen Chenglong, however, didn't care. He wasn't ashamed; on the contrary, he was proud.
If I can't be the fiercest general of the Sui Dynasty, then being the most shameless person in the Sui Dynasty isn't a bad thing.
Whether it's being the fiercest warrior or the shameless one, it's still being number one!
"I've learned it, I've learned it."
Today, Lü Yan learned his first move from his master: ruthlessness.
There is absolutely no other person in the world who would dare to kick himself out of his home.
This courage, this boldness, this ruthlessness that disregards even family ties—it's something he'll need to ponder for quite some time.
"But you can't just learn anything you want, okay?"
Yuwen Chenglong patted Lü Yan's head and said earnestly.
The Lü family held extremely high positions in the government, and Emperor Yang Guang greatly favored them.
If Lü Yan wanted it, he could pluck the stars from the sky.
You don't need to work as hard or compete as I do.
He was different from Lü Yan; he knew what he wanted and he had to fight for it.
Yuwen Chenglong owes his success to himself, to Lü Xiao, and to his shameless spirit.
"Know."
Lü Yan nodded, her little face full of seriousness.
He only needs to learn Yuwen Chenglong's ruthlessness; that will be enough for him.
As for the traditional concepts of fatherly love and filial piety, there's no need to learn them from a teacher.
If he dares to learn even a little bit, his older brother's fist will come flying at him, and it will be accurate and ruthless, showing no mercy.
"You're a promising young man. I'll take you to dig up graves another day."
Yuwen Chenglong lowered his head, leaned close to Lü Yan's ear, and whispered something so low that only the two of them could hear it.
He used to dig up the Yuwen family's graves secretly, like a thief, and had to do it under the cover of darkness.
Now that he's formed his own faction, he's no longer one of us.
The Yuwen clan of Shuofang and the Yuwen clan of Daijun are two different things.
To him, Yuwen's grave was just someone else's grave; he could dig it up or plunder it at will.
"Very good!"
Lü Yan was extremely excited.
Dig up the grave!
This is his master's specialty, and he is determined to learn it so that this craft can be passed down.
"Do you have a goal? Give your teacher one!"
Yuwen Chenglong scanned the surrounding officials with eyes as sharp as a hawk's, weaving through the crowd as he searched for new prey.
"The Pei family, perhaps."
Lü Yan is now also entering and leaving the Imperial Academy, and is receiving the same treatment he received from his elder brother.
Some classmates didn't get along with him at all; they were polite to him on the surface, but kept their distance from him behind his back.
Some people even led the way in isolating him, refusing to sit with him, play with him, or even speak to him.
Among them, the Pei family members left the deepest impression on him.
"From Pei Yuanqing's clan?"
Yuwen Chenglong raised an eyebrow, thinking, "He really knows how to pick a fight."
"right."
Lu Yan nodded without explaining the reason, but the word "yes" contained all his resentment.
"Let's dig up his own family's property!"
Yuwen Chenglong made his decision immediately without any hesitation.
Even though the apprentice didn't explain the reason, the master had to do it once the apprentice did.
Otherwise, would he even be qualified to be someone's teacher?
What is a master craftsman used for?
They are there to teach skills, to provide support, and to stand out.
