"He didn't allow me to go into battle and said he wanted to protect him safety, but in fact he stayed in the camp, and there was no danger. I slipped out of the camp while he was unprepared and participated in the battle. This was to fulfill my long-cherished wish for many years, but he was furious and drove me out."

Yuwen Chengdu sighed, "It's such a shame and humiliation that a real man actually wants to serve such a villain."

The two sat down on a big rock, looking up at the bright moon, Yang Yuanqing whispered: "Brother Yuwen, I have a question, I don't know if I should ask?"

"Just ask."

Yang Yuanqing pondered for a moment and said, "I heard that Brother Yuwen was a nobleman of the Southern Dynasty, and was a Han man of noble blood. Why did he change to the surname Hu of Xianbei?"

Yuwen Chengdu was silent for a moment and said, "I am just a devastating household in the Xiao family. I committed the death penalty for murder in Longyou. It was Yuwen Shu who saved my life. His condition was to recognize me as his adopted son, and I agreed."

"Since Yu culture is unkind, you can change back to the surname Xiao and simply stay in the army to make achievements. Isn't that okay?"

Yuwen Chengdu shook his head and said sadly in his eyes: "He can be unkind, but I cannot change my surname unless I return this life to Yuwen Shu. I once made an oath in front of him to redeem his surname by death. Every Yuwen's adopted son has made such an oath."

Yang Yuanqing was silent. Men should not make oaths lightly. Once they swear, they should not disobey them. He could feel the helplessness and sadness in Yuwen Chengdu. After a long time, he asked again: "Then do you have any plans in the future?"

Yuwen Chengdu was speechless. After a while, he sighed, "As soon as I entered the family, the mark of the Yuwen Valve was already engraved, and who would dare to use me? Yesterday, General Changsun implicitly advised me to go back and serve Yuwen Shu. The implication was to tell me that I had no way to go except to serve Yuwen Shu. This is true, I can't get military registration at all. Alas! When will this shackles of this family that make people breathless?"

Yuwen Chengdu's eyes were full of resentment. He thought things were too simple. He thought that if he stayed on the frontier, he could make meritorious service and promoted, and gradually got rid of the control of the Yuwen clan. However, the ruthless reality told him that not only did he not even have the chance to make meritorious service. Even if he made great contributions, he would not be recognized without military status. No wonder Yuwen and he was so full of disdain, saying that he would go back to beg him sooner or later. Thinking of Yuwen and his ugly face, Yuwen Chengdu threw a stone away. Even if he died, he would never ask Yuwen and that kind of despicable villain.

Yuwen Chengdu's eyes shot with a firm look, "Although I can't change my surname, I can leave him. I want to defect to Xiao Cong, Duke of Ju. He is my distant relative, but my goal is to serve those with higher power."

"That's your right path!"

Yang Yuanqing was a little disappointed. He knew that the higher power that Yuwen Chengdu was referring to was Yang Guang. He originally hoped that Yuwen Chengdu could stay on the border and fight side by side with him, but after another thought, with the courage of Yuwen Chengdu, no one in the world could afford him except Yang Guang. Yuwen Chengdu could think of seeking favor with Yang Guang, which was also his vision.

Yang Yuanqing praised, "I also heard that Xiao Cong is the closest relative of the Princess of Jin. You can indeed approach King Jin through this way and become his guard. With your martial arts, King Jin will definitely value you."

Yuwen Chengdu had completely calmed down at this time. He smiled faintly. It was still Yang Yuanqing who understood his thoughts. He actually wanted to join Yang Guang's disciple through this relationship.

He patted Yang Yuanqing on the shoulder, took out a yellow booklet from his arms, and handed it to Yang Yuanqing, "I promised General Yu to teach you the spear method, but I don't have time to guide you. I will go back to Beijing tomorrow. This is what my master taught the spear method. It is unparalleled in the world. I will leave it to you. You practice it yourself and make a souvenir, so we will have a meeting with you."

"Brother Yuwen won't go back to Beijing with the army?"

Yuwen Chengdu shook his head, "I don't want to see that person's face again. I'll leave tomorrow and leave him far away."

After saying that, he got up and stretched his waist long and smiled, "I want to have a good sleep and forget all my worries."

He strode towards his tent, "General Yuwen!" Yang Yuanqing called him again.

"Is there anything wrong?" Yuwen Chengdu stopped and smiled.

"Change your name! Don't call it Yuwen Xiao, just call it Yuwen Chengdu, how about it?"

Yuwen Chengdu looked at him strangely for a while, and suddenly he raised his head and smiled, "Okay! Then the surname is Yuwen and his name is Xiao, and his courtesy name is Chengdu."

He laughed and walked towards his tent. Yang Yuanqing couldn't help laughing. How could he ask someone to change his name?

The matter of Yang Yuanqing's atonement for his men seemed to have grown wings and quickly spread throughout the army. When Yang Yuanqing returned to his tent, the first thing he saw was two burly men kneeling in front of him. Their knees that he never wanted to bend were kneeling down for him because he did not use his young marshal's power to save them from the crime of desertion, but used his military achievements to redeem them for death.

There is only deep emotion and gratitude in their eyes.

After three days of rest, the 100,000 Sui army began to return to the south and escorted prisoners of war to Beijing to offer prisoners. Yang Su left behind three thousand troops, led by the general Yu Juluo, stationed in Wuyuan. Yang Yuanqing also stayed. He was promoted to commanding a hundred scouts. Although his military position was not high, his scouts were the elite soldiers of the entire army.

That morning, the army crossed the South Yellow River and entered the Hetao Plain. Yang Yuanqing rode on his red horse, which was the war horse of Datou Khan he seized. He silently watched teams of Sui soldiers passing by him and headed for triumphantly towards the capital, but he wanted to stay in the grassland, and he didn't know when he would return.

"Major General!"

A cavalry rushed over and slammed the horses and shouted to him: "Master General, please come over."

Yang Yuanqing nodded and urged his horse to go to the central army. He saw the red flag of the Sui army from afar. Under the army, Yang Su, Yang Yichen, Zhou Luohu and others were walking side by side, talking and laughing?

Yang Yuanqing rushed up and bowed to salute, "Yang Yuanqing meets the generals! See you all the generals."

Yang Yichen smiled and said, "Yuan Qing, we are talking about you. When will we bring a Turkic bride back?"

Zhou Luohu also laughed and said, "Yuanqing, don't listen to this guy's nonsense. He said he was wrong. We are worried that you will take a Turkic bride back."

Yang Su smiled slightly and urged him to come forward, "Yuan Qing, accompany me for a walk."

Yang Yuanqing clasped his fists at several generals, turned his horse's head and followed his grandfather slowly.

"Yuanqing, I left you a box of books, all of which are books I often read. The books contain my annotations. You must read them carefully. Grandfather hopes that you will be a person with both wisdom and courage, rather than being brave but not being brave."

Yang Su sighed long, "Hey! You want you to go to the Imperial College, but you refuse. It's fine, I won't force you, but you have to study and plan by yourself, do you understand?"

Yang Yuanqing nodded silently. Not only military books, he also wanted to learn Turkic and Sogdian from Combasse to expand his horizons.

Yang Su glanced at his grandson again, and saw that he was worried, she smiled faintly and said, "I think you are a little sad. Don't you want to stay here?"

"No, I just felt an inexplicable melancholy when I saw everyone coming home."

"Inexplicably melancholy?"

Yang Su smiled, "I think you really don't look like a ten-year-old boy, but like an adult. Your thoughts, tone, and appearance are the same as an adult. When I was twenty-five, I would feel an inexplicable melancholy."

He shook his head, and the grandparents and grandchildren walked slowly side by side. Yang Su looked at the fertile Hetao Plain and sighed, "Actually, I won't let you go back, because I have deeper considerations. The court is about to enter a troublesome situation. Do you know? The emperor may want to depose the prince."

Yang Yuanqing was surprised, "Grandfather, where is this news?"

"Silly kid, who can tell me this kind of news? It depends on your own observation."

Yang Su pointed to his head and sighed, "Actually, at the end of last year, the emperor killed the Liangzhou chief supervisor Wang Shishi, which was a signal. Who is Wang Shishi? Gao Yang's confidant, the prince's confidant and foreign aid, I thought at that time that if he killed Wang Shishi, it would be Gao Yang's turn next! Sure enough, I heard from Changsun Sheng that the emperor's close minister was already impeaching Gao Yang to lead his army to fight, and he was going to rebel, hum! This is the usual style of the emperor. If he wants to get rid of an important person, he must first cut off his wings."

Yang Yuanqing was speechless. He understood the meaning of his grandfather. Gao Yang and the prince Yang Yong were in-laws and Yang Yong's first supporters. If the emperor wanted to depose the prince, he would first eliminate the prince's supporters and make the prince isolated and helpless. Gao Yang was the first to bear the brunt.

Of course he knew that Yang Yong was indeed deposed in history, and then Yang Guang became the crown prince. He always thought that Empress Dugu didn't like the crown prince. Now it seems that it was Yang Jian's decision.

"The relationship between the prince and the Guanlong Group is too deep."

Yang Su sighed slightly again: "Do you know Mr. Liu?"

"I know, Liu Chang's son is a vicious person, and his grandson has fought with him."

"It's this person. Most of his followers are children of Guanlong nobles. In order to win over Guanlong nobles, the prince did not hesitate to secretly interact with this person, which made the emperor particularly angry."

"Forget it, don't talk about these!"

Yang Su patted his shoulder and smiled and said, "I tell you this, just to let you understand. I let you on the frontier, just to not want you to be involved in these right and wrong. Now many important officials in the capital know that the emperor likes you very much, and you are the Yang family I value the most, so many people will try every means to get your friendship. I put you on the frontier to protect you."

Yang Yuanqing nodded, "I understand my grandfather's painstaking efforts. I will stay on the frontier with peace of mind, just to ask...."

He originally wanted to say, 'I only ask my grandfather to take care of my aunt and sister for me'. In a moment, he suddenly remembered that Hongfunu was Yang Su's concubine. He immediately swallowed this sentence and changed his words: "I only ask my grandfather to take care of himself. Please tell my father that he should take care of himself!"

Yang Su smiled with relief. It was rare that the grandson thought of his father. He pointed to the Eighteen Iron Shadow Guard who was following behind, "I will leave them for you and protect you!"

"Need not!"

Yang Yuanqing refused without hesitation, "The grandson is already an eagle on the grassland. He can soar thousands of miles and no longer needs the wings of his grandfather."

“It’s a promising future!”

Yang Su stared at him and said in a deep voice: "This is my Yang Su's grandson, so be careful!"

Yang Yuanqing turned over and got off the horse, knelt down on both knees and kowtowed three times to his grandfather. He turned over and whipped the horse with a fierce whip, and ran away with a "drive!"

Yang Sutiao looked at her grandson's agile back and left, feeling infinitely moved in her heart. With such a great grandson, why worry about the family's unrest?

"Yuanqing, I hope you will become a pillar of the country as soon as possible!" Yang Su murmured in a low voice.
