0032: Family Secrets

"The ancestor of this family is actually the grandson of the former flying general Li Guang, Li Ling!" Li Yan looked at Li Yi and said in a deep voice.

In fact, Li Yi, the ancestor of the Li family, has guessed many times, but most of Li Yi's understanding of the entire Han Dynasty is concentrated in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, to put it bluntly, it is the extended understanding after watching the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

He has studied those poems of the Three Kingdoms, the official history, the wild history, and many materials of the Three Kingdoms, but other periods of the Han Dynasty? I'm sorry, but he really wasn't very clear. The only thing I know is what I learned from watching the TV series [Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty] before. The only one who knows the surname Li is Li Guang.

It's just that although Li Guang is also a famous archer, he is from Longxi, and most importantly, Li Guang's descendants are still living in Longxi. This is what Li Yi learned from Zhang Huan and Huangfu Gui, and he also knew that the current Li family had already been defeated.

Of course, even if it is defeated, Chengji County is still the base camp of the Li family, after all, even if the Li family is spurned and despised by the imperial court at that time because of Li Ling, but after all, it was more than 200 years ago, not to mention that there was also Wang Mang's new dynasty in the middle. So in Li Yi's mind, the reason why the Li family in Longxi is still only the landlord of Chengji is just because there are no decent talents.

So after that, Li Yi didn't think about his family to Li Guang, but now, looking at Li Yan's serious face, Li Yi was really a little confused.

"Father, that Li Ling...... Didn't the ancestors surrender to the Huns, and later generations lived in the Huns? Li Yi asked strangely. Although he knew that his father would not lie to him, and there was no need for him to deceive himself in such a place, Li Yi still couldn't help but want to ask. After all, a possibility that has been ruled out by oneself has now become the correct answer? Li Yi felt that his reasoning had been challenged.

"It's true that the old ancestor deceived and surrendered in the past, no matter what happened in the middle, but he did live in the Huns after that." Li Yan nodded and said, "But the ancestor never forgot that he was a Han person, and although he married the daughter of the Xiongnu Shan Yu, he still accepted a Han girl as a concubine and left a testament, in addition to the one you know, there is also the descendant of this bloodline, you must marry the Han people as wives and give birth to the sons of the Han people." ”

Later, the Xiongnu were in civil strife, and Emperor Guangwu let the dependent Xiongnu build a court in Wuyuan, and set up a guardian of the Xiongnu Zhonglang General. Since then, our Li family has followed the Huns back to the land of the Han Dynasty and has been living in Jiuyuan County until now. Li Yan stroked the bow and said very melancholy, as if he was lamenting the fate of the Li family?

"......I see," Li Yi echoed, although this story seemed a bit nonsense to him, but theoretically, it didn't seem to make sense. Of course, the most important thing is that he finally understands why the Li family has such a pit for his ancestral teachings.

But it's no wonder, although Li Yi doesn't know whether Li Ling's surrender to the Xiongnu was true or false, but the fact is that he did bear the reputation of a traitor until he died, and because of his surrender to the Xiongnu, Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, also killed his mother, brother, and wife. Under such circumstances, how could Li Ling want his descendants to serve the court of the Han Dynasty?

"This bow is the bow used by the grandfather of the old ancestor, that is, the flying general Li Guanggong, named Lingbao, and has been passed down. Today, I'm going to pass it on to you. Li Yan held the Spirit Treasure Bow and put it in Li Yi's hand.

“??!! Father, you ......" Li Yi immediately reacted when he heard this, but just as he wanted to say something, he was stopped by Li Yan.

"Needless to say, my body knows that this time, my father can't survive......" Li Yan looked at Li Yi and said lightly, "Perhaps, since Ah Xue left, Ah Father has already left with her, but Ah Yi, you are still young, how can Ah Father leave it"

"Ahem!!" In the middle of speaking, Li Yan suddenly coughed violently, which frightened Li Yi and patted his back and handed water.

"Father, don't say it! Rest well, trust the child, and it won't be long before you get better! Li Yi choked up and persuaded, the man didn't flick when he had tears, but he didn't get to the sad place. Looking at Li Yan's appearance, Li Yi felt that his heart was about to break.

"Ayi, you're very different. When you shouted to learn martial arts when you were 1 year old, when you learned to read and write in a short time, when you invented the double-sided stirrup...... Father already knows that you are not an ordinary person......" Li Yan stroked Li Yi's hair and looked at him lovingly and said. "Father knows your ambitions, and he also knows that your future cannot be trapped in small Jiuyuan County, but Father has always hoped that you can grow up safely and healthily, marry a wife and have children......"

"Father, the child is not a general, tomorrow! Tomorrow, the child will marry Ah Hua, and Ah Hong! As long as you get better, Father, you can see that the child is getting married and having children......" At this time, Li Yi has already been silent, Wang Tu hegemony? If you can exchange the life of your loved one, why lose it?

"No...... Don't give up your ambitions for the sake of your father. Father agrees with you, as long as you have the opportunity, Ayi will go to the official. Although the ancestor left a legacy, more than 200 years have passed, and it is time for him to change, and my father will also intercede with the ancestor on behalf of Ayi......" Li Yan kept saying.

It's a pity that Li Yi couldn't speak anymore at this time, he lay beside Li Yan's bed and cried, like a child. Although, he is indeed a child.

"By the way, Ayi, although a boy can only be crowned at 20, but now, Father can only give you a word first, how about Zikang? Healthy ......and healthy," Li Yan was still talking over there.

"Abu and Ashun are both honest and reliable children, and their father has always been a father, and they will be your best helpers in the future......"

"Although Ah Liao is not very old, his talent in martial arts is very good. And he seems to like reading more than Abu and Shun......"

On the bed, Li Yan kept talking, using that somewhat weak and deep voice, while Li Yi kept lying on the edge of the bed and crying. However, Li Yan didn't seem to care about this, just kept talking, talking......

I don't know how long it took, the crying gradually disappeared, only Li Yan was still talking to himself, and after half a sound, Li Yan seemed to react, looking at the sleeping Li Yi with a loving face, his expression was full of love, reluctance and relief.
