My older brother said I'm invincible.

Chapter 357 The Dog-Fooled Emperor!

"Step aside!!"

When Yuwen Shu stormed into the camp, Sima Dekan's eyes were filled with despair.

Here it comes again?!

You were the one who drove me away first, then you summoned me back, and now you want to drive me away again?
Is it over yet?
But when he saw the murderous aura emanating from Yuwen Shu, Sima Dekan instantly sobered up. He hurriedly stepped back and made way, and his guards also quickly made way.

Yuwen Shu's soldiers occupied the camp again, and Yuwen Shu, clad in armor and armed, stormed into the building.

When he entered the room, the emperor was enjoying a song and dance performance.

Indeed, several dancers were gracefully performing, while the emperor sat on the throne, talking to Yu Shiji beside him.

After Yuwen Shu burst in, the dancers screamed and ran away.

Yang Guang looked astonished. He raised his head and saw Yuwen Shu.

Yuwen Shu pressed closer and closer to the emperor.

Yang Guang's expression changed instantly. He leaned back, trying to escape, but the dignity of being the emperor prevented him from moving or speaking.

Just as Yuwen Shu was about to rush to the emperor, Yu Shiji stepped out from the side and quickly grabbed Yuwen Shu's arm.

"Duke!!"

"You mustn't, Duke!!!"

Yu Shiji shouted, and Yuwen Shu shoved him hard, causing Yu Shiji to fall to the ground.

However, Yuwen Shu also regained his senses and stared straight at the emperor.

Yang Guang watched this scene and calmly met Yuwen Shu's gaze.

"I have indeed wronged the people, but you people, who have reached the end of your wealth and honor and are the most favored by me, why do you still do this?"

"Favor? Is this what Your Majesty calls favor, sending us to our deaths?"

Yang Guang was taken aback. "Is this the reason you rebelled?"

"Your Majesty, we have not rebelled. Pei Yun plotted a rebellion, and we were merely suppressing the rebels!"

"The Minister of the Imperial Secretariat has already issued an edict to all the armies."

"The army shall set off today to return to the Central Plains."

"Please calm down, Your Majesty. We will definitely protect you."

Yang Guang remained seated, sneering at Yuwen Shu, "Protect??"

The next moment, a figure rushed into the inner room. Yuwen Shu was stunned for a moment, and then saw Li Xuanba holding a golden mace and barging in. Yuwen Shu was shocked. Li Xuanba's expression was even more excited than Yuwen Shu's just now. Obviously, he had also seen the two corpses outside.

Yuwen Shu hurriedly stepped in front of him and held him tightly.

Yuwen Shu pulled him a few steps outside, leaning close to him, and said in a very low voice, "He can't die yet."

“We still need to bring the army back in his name. If he suddenly dies, the court in our hands will be meaningless. Although the generals are willing to follow us, once the emperor is murdered, many of them will probably turn against us. Even if they don’t fight us directly, they will leave us.”

"The officials in the rear will also be thrown into chaos. Things will become very unfavorable."

"Now that the emperor and the court are in our hands, we must protect them. Let's go back first, assist Lord Su, stabilize the affairs of the world, and then do other things. Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive."

Yuwen Shu comforted Li Xuanba and snatched the golden mace from his hand.

Yang Guang remained seated, watching this scene unfold.

Yang Guang felt incredibly bitter. He had always wanted to recreate the glory of the Han Dynasty and accomplish an unparalleled feat. To achieve this, he spared no effort in his struggle, diligently governing the country every day, unifying the country, defeating Tuyuhun, and conquering Liuqiu. Now, with a million-strong army pointing towards Liaodong, he was almost about to take it over.

Unexpectedly, there were so many treacherous villains within the Sui Dynasty.

Those troublemakers in the country are cunning and vicious, always going against me. Now they are even taking advantage of my military campaign to rebel in the rear and disrupt important matters!
These generals at the front lines, who were all enjoying wealth and luxury, are now rebelling, which is detrimental to them.

How miserable my life is!
Yuwen Shu finally calmed down the agitated Li Xuanba. He looked at the emperor and said again, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, all the rebels inside and outside the city have been killed. You are completely safe."

Yang Guang raised his head, "I was actually deceived by you and failed to see through your deception."

Li Xuanba leaped up.

"Boom."

Then they saw Li Xuanba raise his fist and smash it hard into Yang Guang's face.

Yang Guang had only spoken half a sentence when he was struck in the cheek by a fist. He was thrown back in an exaggerated posture, as if several of his teeth had been knocked out. He was almost sent flying. He was thrown up like that, and then crashed heavily to the ground, motionless.

Yuwen Shu was dumbfounded. He stood there, as if he had been electrocuted, unable to move.

Yu Shiji, who was kneeling on the ground, almost fainted when he saw this scene.

Li Xuanba withdrew his fist and coldly looked at the motionless emperor.

"It's much quieter now."

Even if Li Xuanba had simply thrown his hammer and killed Yang Guang, Yuwen Shu wouldn't have been so shocked. He still couldn't believe what he was seeing: Li Xuanba flying up and punching the emperor directly.

The previous dynasty had punched the emperor three times, but that was just shoving him a few times.

Yuwen Shu never even dared to imagine throwing a punch at the emperor's face.

He stood there frozen, stunned, for a long time before he reacted. He rushed over to check the emperor's breathing and, finding that the emperor was not dead, breathed a sigh of relief. He then hurriedly sent someone to find the imperial physician and take the emperor back to the side room to rest.

Having done all this, Yuwen Shu angrily returned to Li Xuanba's side.

"What are you doing?! If you want to kill, then kill! Why humiliate me like this?"

"You!!"

Yuwen Shu wanted to curse him for his treason, but thinking about what he had done, he couldn't bring himself to do it. He took a deep breath and tugged at his beard. "What if someone wants to see His Majesty?"

"I can't take this breath."

Li Xuanba said.

Yuwen Shu looked at Li Xuanba with a newfound respect. He was utterly convinced of Li Xuanba's audacity. He was completely lawless, utterly lawless. He dared to jump up and beat up even the emperor. There was nothing in the world he wouldn't dare to do.

Yuwen Shu didn't want to think about that question anymore, so he asked, "What about Guo Rong?"

"He's outside, leading people to collect the bodies of General Mai and the others."

"What a pity. Although I don't like Mai Tiezhang, he was still quite a brave warrior."

Yuwen Shu remarked with a sigh, "Guo Rong is willing to surrender?"

"He said he was willing to lead the army back with us. Now that he has agreed, there is no room for regret. Duke, the matter inside the city has been successfully completed. We can withdraw now."

"Alright, let's begin the evacuation today."

The two talked for a long time before leaving the inner room. Duan Da hurriedly ran over, and Yuwen Shu ordered Duan Da to guard the place and not allow anyone to enter or leave. Then he led Li Xuanba to continue walking out.

The outside has been cleaned up.

The soldiers of the Right Guard also withdrew. When Guo Rong saw the two men come out, he quickly stepped forward and saluted.

Yuwen Shu stayed behind to talk with Guo Rongpan.

Li Xuanba mounted his horse and hurriedly left.

When Li Xuanba returned to the government office, Su Wei was leading a group of officials in a busy work.

Su Wei already held multiple positions and managed various tasks. Now that the emperor was no longer involved, he was even more adept at it. He temporarily reorganized his officials, promoted some new people to temporarily assume certain official positions, and everyone was preparing for their return.

Su Wei wrote one edict after another, working diligently and concentrating on his work.

When Su Wei saw Li Xuanba arrive, he put down his pen, smiled, and stood up to greet him.

"General Li, I have already written the imperial edict. You can send it out as soon as possible."

"I wonder what His Majesty's situation is?"

"The mission has been accomplished. Guo Rong has agreed to follow us, and Mai Tiezhang is dead."

Su Wei was taken aback, a hint of reluctance in his eyes. He murmured softly, "The general shouldn't have killed him."

But as soon as he finished speaking, he quickly shut his mouth, afraid of offending the demon in front of him.

Li Xuanba heard this sentence very clearly.

He pursed his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

"The important matter has been accomplished. Next, Lord Su can formally issue the edict."

"The army in Liaodong City can withdraw to Liuhe City to replace the army outside the city. In addition, let the Xiaoguo Army enter the city, and the Imperial Guards should be responsible for protecting the emperor's carriage."

"it is good."
