Chapter 10 As long as one serves my Great Sui Dynasty, I, the King, do not care about their origins.
Yang Lin glanced at Lü Xiao and nodded slightly.
Without uttering a word, the two simultaneously charged towards the Zheng family members on the dueling platform.
Although Yang Lin was old, he was still powerful and heavy, and his spiked club smashed into his opponent's brains, causing them to splatter.
Lu Xiao moved with agility, thrusting, parrying, and slashing with his halberd, causing his opponents to fall to the ground one after another.
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen corpses appeared on the dueling platform.
"Brother Huchen, you...you!"
Zheng Ji pointed at Yang Lin, his fingers trembling uncontrollably.
He thought Yang Lin would give him face, but he never expected that Yang Lin would kill all his men.
"The waiver of liability has been signed. Are you going to break the rules?"
Yang Lin stared at Zheng Ji with his tiger-like eyes, radiating a powerful aura.
Even as a member of an older, established family, Zheng Ji felt powerless in the face of Yang Lin.
This is the Prince of Kao Shan, the Prince of Kao Shan of the Great Sui Dynasty, a white jade pillar reaching the sky and a purple-gold beam spanning the sea!
Even His Majesty the current emperor would have to respectfully address him as "Old Imperial Uncle".
Zheng Ji looked at Lü Xiao. Since he couldn't avenge his grandson himself, he could only rely on Yang Lin.
"Brother Huchen, do you know his background?"
Upon hearing this, Lü Xiao did not show much emotional reaction.
When he decided to challenge Zheng Kun, he already knew his identity would be exposed.
"I don't know, tell me."
Yang Lin returned the spiked club to Yin Yue and put his hands behind his back.
"This man is a leader under Zhai Rang of Wagang; he is a Wagang bandit!"
Upon hearing this, the surrounding soldiers immediately focused their attention on Lü Xiao.
Good heavens, these are people from Wagang! They actually dare to come to Dengzhou for a martial arts contest?
The key point is that he also wants to be one of the Thirteen Protectors. Is this something he conspired with Qin Qiong to play the trick of the Prince of Kao Shan?
Luo Fang, Xue Liang, and the other bodyguards, who knew Lü Xiao's identity, were not so surprised.
Zheng Ji thought that these words would enrage Yang Lin, but to his surprise, Yang Lin's expression did not change at all, as if he had not heard them.
"Brother Huchen, he's a bandit from Wagang."
The immortal Zheng Ji repeated it again.
"Heroes have always come from all walks of life, so what does it matter if someone is a bandit?"
Yang Lin raised his head and loudly proclaimed to the surrounding soldiers, "I do not care about the origins of anyone who serves my Great Sui!"
Yang Lin was waiting for Zheng Ji's words, and at the same time, he wanted to tell the world what he had said.
We recruit talented individuals regardless of their social status or rank!
Anyone who is capable is welcome to come and serve, as long as they are not morally corrupt like Zheng Kun!
"You, you!"
Zheng Ji coughed violently, spitting a mouthful of blood onto the ground.
He never imagined that Yang Lin was letting Lü Xiao rise to power by stepping on his own grandson.
Murder, but also punish!
"Guards, collect Young Master Zheng's body!"
Yang Lin waved his hand, and the soldiers rushed onto the arena.
In the blink of an eye, Zheng Kun's corpse was placed in front of Zheng Ji.
When they arrived, they came in a large and impressive procession.
Nowadays, there are only two or three people.
The other two helped to place Zheng Kun's body onto the carriage.
"My dear grandson, let's go home..."
Zheng Ji, sitting on horseback in the carriage, spoke to Zheng Kun inside.
Before leaving, he glanced at Lü Xiao.
The hatred for killing Sun is irreconcilable.
"Clean this place up. Lü Xiao, come with me."
After the martial arts competition ended, Lü Xiao's brilliance was fully revealed.
Yang Lin was also very satisfied with him; this person might really be able to replace Qin Qiong.
"Yes."
Lü Xiao responded and followed Yang Lin's steps.
Upon entering the main tent, Yang Lin plopped down in the main seat, with Yin Yue standing beside him.
The remaining twelve bodyguards stood on either side of the tent, gazing intently at their future thirteenth brother.
Yang Lin slowly spoke, "Zilie, you are exceptionally brave and skilled in martial arts. Would you be willing to officially become my thirteenth bodyguard?"
At that moment, he already had the answer in his heart.
Since Lü Xiao was unwilling to collude with the Zheng family, he would inevitably have to join their ranks.
Next, Lu Xiao will be extremely excited and willing to become one of the Thirteen Protectors.
"I don't want to."
Lü Xiao's answer surprised everyone.
The gangsters around him really couldn't understand Lü Xiao; they just felt that this kid was a bit off.
Yang Lin's hands, which were resting on either side of the chair, suddenly clenched tightly.
He was extremely puzzled; these were the Thirteen Protectors!
"Zilie, you may not have heard me clearly. I asked you if you were willing to become one of the Thirteen Protectors."
Yang Lin asked again.
"I don't want to."
Yang Lin was completely dumbfounded.
Is this kid messing with me?
You neither side with the Zheng family nor are you willing to become one of the Thirteen Protectors; are you trying to ascend to heaven?
"Your Excellency, could you let me be one of the Fourteen Bodyguards? I really don't want to be Qin Qiong's stand-in."
Lu Xiao disliked Qin Qiong, because this thirteenth bodyguard was something Qin Qiong didn't want.
If he were to accept this offer, wouldn't he be ridiculed to death by Qin Qiong if they were to face each other one day?
"Why the hell didn't you say so earlier!"
Yang Lin slapped his thigh. This kid is breathing heavily when he talks!
"Haha, Fourteenth Brother is really good at joking."
Luo Fang and Xue Liang were naturally happy to see Yang Lin so pleased.
"Godfather, the thirteenth prince is missing."
When the order was suddenly broken, Yin Yue felt a little awkward.
"Qin Qiong is not coming back. Since we're missing one, you might as well fill the gap!"
Yang Lin pondered for a moment, but couldn't find anyone as outstanding as Lü Xiao or Qin Qiong for the time being.
Yin Yue was his adopted son, but he never joined the Thirteen Protectors.
"I have no objections; I will follow my godfather's arrangements!"
Yin Yue said honestly.
"From this day forward, Zi Lie will be the fourteenth Grand Protector, your little fourteenth brother!"
Yang Lin grew increasingly fond of Lü Xiao. Could it be that Heaven, seeing that he had lost Qin Qiong, sent Lü Xiao to him?
"Don't worry, Godfather, we, as the elder brothers, will definitely dote on our fourteenth brother."
As the chief bodyguard, Luo Fang's age and seniority speak for themselves.
Although he wasn't very strong, he was the one Yang Lin trusted the most and who made him worry-free.
"Hehe, Fourteenth Brother, now it's time to win the heart of the beauty."
Seeing that Lü Xiao was still there and seemed a little reserved, Xue Liang went up to him and put his arm around Lü Xiao's shoulder.
It's unclear whether Lü Xiao has made up his mind about whether or not to marry Yang Yu'er.
"Your Majesty, regarding the matter of marrying Sister Yu'er, shall we go back and ask her again?"
Lu Xiao didn't seem to be in a hurry, after all, he had said before that he was just helping out.
"Return to Dengzhou, return to Dengzhou immediately!"
Yang Lin smiled and addressed the crowd.
After all, Lü Xiao is one of the Fourteen Protectors, so it's time for him to go back and familiarize himself with the place.
If Yang Yu'er also gets married, that would be a double blessing.
