Chapter Fifty-Eight: Reaching the Next Level
Time passed day by day, and Ao Lie's daily life was the same as when he was in school in his previous life, three points and one line, extremely regular.
Every morning, Ao Lie would get up early and come to Ma Chao's residence, and then under the reflection of the rising sun, he instructed Ma Chao to practice the Nine Transformations of the Heavenly Dragon Technique, and pointed out the deficiencies in Ma Chao's marksmanship from time to time, and then the two competed while perfecting Ma Chao's marksmanship. At the same time, Ao Lie also instructed Pang De and Ma Dai to cultivate the Eight Duanjin, and Zhao Yun often joined in to assist Pang De and Ma Dai in their cultivation. Sometimes Shi A will also come, and several people will compete with each other, and their strength is growing by leaps and bounds. Especially Ma Chao, he is already amazingly talented, and his physical fitness and strength are not much better than Lu Bu, with the Nine Transformations Heavenly Dragon Technique, integrated into the shock force that he comprehended, the two forces complement each other, and there is a unique atmosphere.
After breakfast, Ao Lie will come to the North Palace to explain all kinds of books to Liu Xie, from the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period to the hundred schools of thought, Ao Lie thought of what to say, and slowly instilled the things that Wang Ao Lao Zu handed over to himself. Liu Xie also gradually adapted to Ao Lie's whimsical ideas, and could keep up with Ao Lie's train of thought, and would often ask some questions that Ao Lie couldn't answer. After Ao Lie's deliberate training, Liu Xie already had a faint bit of imperial temperament. Between the gestures, the grace and luxury are extraordinary, and there is quite the potential of a generation of Ming Jun. Liu Xie's changes also made Liu Hong overjoyed, and he loved Ao Lie, the nephew of the royal family, even more.
At the same time, in the process of teaching, Liu Xie also deeply admired Ao Lie's insights and knowledge, and the friendship between the two brothers became deeper. In Liu Xie's heart, he regarded Ao Lie as the eldest brother who was also a teacher and friend, and he had to leave Ao Lie in the North Palace for lunch every day.
Seeing that Liu Xie's condition was getting more and more serious, Liu Hong was about to grit his teeth and prepare to give up Liu Xie, Ao Lie took homemade gloves and masks, walked into Liu Xie's room, punctured the smallpox growing on Liu Xie's body with a silver needle, mixed the pus that flowed out with some herbs, reapplied it to Liu Xie's body, and then guarded Liu Xie's side day and night. Three days later, a miracle happened, smallpox, which was known as an incurable disease in the Eastern Han Dynasty, finally disappeared from Liu Xie's body, and Liu Hong happily shed tears in front of the civil and military officials. After this incident, Liu Hong fell in love with Ao Lie even more, and Liu Xie secretly remembered Ao Lie's life-saving grace in his heart, and every time he walked with Ao Lie in the future, he deliberately lagged Ao Lie half a position behind him to show his respect for Ao Lie.
After having lunch with Liu Xie in the North Palace, Ao Lie will say goodbye to Liu Xie, and then come to the backyard of the Phoenix Building, and ask his uncle Wang Yue for swordsmanship, Wang Yue is also unreserved, and teaches his famous stunt Shangqing Breaking Cloud Sword, after half a year of practice, Ao Lie's swordsmanship has been completed, and he also combines the Taiji swordsmanship and the Shangqing Breaking Cloud Sword two swordsmanship, and creates the unpredictable Void Illusory Sword, which makes Wang Yue praised. In the process of learning swords, Ao Lie often deduced the magic tricks in swordsmanship into marksmanship, and then created new marksmanship after repeated exercises. Often, every time he creates a move, Ao Lie has to go through thousands of drills to perfectly transfer the characteristics of the sword to the marksmanship, so that the newly created marksmanship has both the characteristics of a gun and the spirituality of a sword.
In the process of deducing the swordsmanship, Ao Lie also often made changes to some of the moves in the Formation Breaking Overlord Gun that he had created before, in order to make these moves more subtle. A new move, Ao Lie will and Wang Yue moves, in order to verify the advantages and shortcomings of marksmanship, at the beginning, Wang Yue only with the left hand sword can easily break Ao Lie's marksmanship, as time goes by, Wang Yue gradually began to use the right-handed sword to compete with Ao Lie's gun moves, Ao Lie found his own marksmanship in the confrontation with Wang Yue, and then devoted himself to research, practice, and strive to achieve perfection in every detail. After fighting with Wang Yue, Wang Yue gradually couldn't resist Ao Lie's marksmanship. After the most reluctant, Ao Lie re-modified all the formation-breaking overlord guns, plus the newly created moves, a total of eighteen styles, each style is divided into nine variations, and then use this set of marksmanship and Wang Yue's moves, often forcing Wang Yue to be overstretched, and was miserable by Ao Lie's Breaking Formation Overlord gun, and even sometimes, he couldn't even take a complete set of marksmanship, so he was forced by Ao Lie to admit defeat.
Of course, the contest between the uncle and nephew was just a simple move, and neither of them used any strength, and the victory or defeat was determined purely by the subtlety of the moves. At this point, Ao Lie himself occupies a certain advantage, the gun is longer than the sword, as the so-called inch long and one inch stronger, so Wang Yue often gave up the sword and admitted defeat. Otherwise, no matter how rebellious Ao Lie was, he would not be able to easily defeat Wang Yue, who was known as the world's number one swordsman. Of course, it was when Ao Lie did not use Wuji Jiuyang Gong. Otherwise, it's really hard to say, Wang Yue can hold on a few times in Ao Lie's nine dark strengths.
After practicing swordsmanship and marksmanship with Wang Yue, Ao Lie returned to Cai's mansion leisurely, had dinner with Cai Yan, and then discussed topics such as the subset of scriptures and history with Cai Yong, Ao Lie found that his father-in-law seemed to be very interested in history books, and Cai Yong said many times after drinking that he wanted to repair a history book to pass on to future generations. Ao Lie searched carefully in his mind, and he didn't remember which history book was written by Cai Yong in later generations, which made Ao Lie feel very strange in his heart, through gradual contact, Ao Lie knew that Cai Yong was a person who did what he said, and he also had the talent to compile history.
This also made Ao Lie secretly keep his heart, thinking of finding an opportunity to take Cai Yong to Youbeiping in the future, so that he could cultivate history with peace of mind in order to fulfill his lifelong wish.
The next time is rarely inappropriate, Ao Lie will take Cai Yan back to the room, and every other day he will stage a memorabilia of the lineage, and Ao Lie has been practicing martial arts for many years, and he is full of physical strength, so he often tosses Cai Yan three or five times at a time, so that Cai Yan habitually begs for mercy, and finally has to use a cherry mouth to help Ao Lie solve the problem; When Ao Lie was in high spirits, Cai Yan even numbed his small mouth, but he still couldn't let Ao Lie enjoy himself, so he had to contribute his crisp breasts and let Ao Lie ravage at will. However, after the nourishment of love, Cai Yan became more and more beautiful, Ao Lie was not a lustful person, but watching his wife become more and more delicate, he always couldn't help but make love. This also made Cai Yan have the idea of letting Ao Lie marry another flat wife to get rid of the current predicament of the two.
The half-year holiday passed quickly, and on this morning, Ao Lie, Ma Chao and others finished learning martial arts, and rode the night snow dragon horse to the North Palace. Looking at the palace gate of the North Palace, Ao Lie was in a very complicated mood. To tell the truth, he was really reluctant to leave Luoyang, his third brother Ma Chao, and Liu Xie in the palace in front of him. But the Han is about to be in chaos, he has been delayed in Luoyang for half a year, it is impossible and there is no reason to stay, and Youbeiping is his foundation, only when he returns to Youbeiping, with the help of a group of military officers and 20,000 male soldiers, he has the confidence and capital to help Liu Xie successfully ascend the throne and become the emperor in the future, so as to revitalize the dynasty and avoid the situation of chaos in China in the future.
Sighing softly, Ao Lie turned over and dismounted, and slowly walked towards the palace.
As in the past, Liu Xie stood quietly at the gate of the palace with his hands down, waiting for Ao Lie's arrival. When Ao Lie's figure appeared in Liu Xie's sight, Liu Xie hurriedly greeted him and said jokingly: "Brother Huang, you are late today, how should I punish you?" ”
Ao Lie smiled reluctantly and replied casually: "You can punish you like this." Feeling that Ao Lie's mood was a little low, Liu Xie tilted his head and thought for a while, his face also showed an inseparable look, and said in a low voice: "Brother Huang, is it that your holiday is almost over?" ”
Ao Lie touched the top of Liu Xie's head, although Liu Xie has grown a lot taller in the past six months, Ao Lie still hasn't changed his habit of touching the top of his head: "Yes, I plan to resign to the saint in the next few days." After all, it is not appropriate to stay in Luoyang for a long time. ”
Liu Xie's little face drooped, and his eyes were instantly filled with tears, constantly rolling in his eye sockets, and he was about to shed tears.
"Don't be like this, it's just a temporary separation, and there is a chance to see each other in the future." Ao Lie comforted Liu Xie softly.
Just when the two were inseparable, a eunuch hurriedly ran in, and after seeing Ao Lie, he hurriedly said: "General Huwei, the Holy Lord has summoned you to Deyang Hall quickly, there is a disaster!" ”
Hearing this, Ao Lie turned around and walked outside the palace, and said to Liu Xie: "Remember, no matter the ends of the world, no matter the sword mountain and the sea of fire, if you are in trouble, you will definitely come to help!" ”
Looking at Ao Lie's back gradually moving away, Liu Xie could no longer hold back the tears in his eyes, and let two lines of hot tears slide down his face. When his vision was blurred by tears and he could no longer see Ao Lie's heroic figure clearly, Liu Xie closed his eyes and muttered to himself: "Brother Huang, no matter the difficulties and obstacles, there is no chaos and vicissitudes, where you are, is where the hope of my brother lies!" May you and my brothers join hands and work together to prosper the Han River! ”
Ao Lie hurried all the way and came to the Deyang Palace. As soon as he entered the hall, Ao Lie felt that the atmosphere in the hall was very different from the past. All the Wenchen frowned, looking worried. On the side of the generals, most of them were terrified, as if some danger was about to befall them. Sighing secretly, Ao Lie thought in his heart: Is this the appearance of my Han minister? The hateful two generals, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, were framed by the Ten Standing Servants and removed from their official positions, and the generals standing here now owe even a little bit of the courage that a warrior should have.
Sighing and sighing, Ao Lie still walked to the middle of the hall with his head held high, and saluted Liu Hong and said, "Ao Lie, my nephew, see the saint." ”
When Liu Hong saw Ao Lie coming, the melancholy on his face decreased slightly, and he said, "I summoned you here today because I have something to tell you." The son of the Yellow Turban bandits, Zhang Jiao, gathered a crowd to rebel in Nanyang Wancheng, killed the local Taishou and established himself as the king, and the soldiers pointed directly at Luoyang, I don't know what your opinion is on this matter? ”
Ao Lie was stunned, what else could he think? Didn't you get it soon after killing Zhang Jiao's son? For those who rebelled, Ao Lie has always hated it. Ordinary people are forced by life to rebel, but where is the direct cause? It's just that some people take advantage of the emotions of the people, stand up and fan the flames, and treat this kind of person, it's not a pity to die!
So, Ao Lie said loudly: "Nanyang Wancheng is a military powerhouse, adjacent to Luoyang, and guarding Wancheng is too much of a threat to Luoyang. For the sake of safety, the nephew thought that he should send troops quickly to quell the rebellion. ”
Although the general He Jin looked at Ao Lie unpleasantly, but now when he burned his eyebrows, he couldn't care about talking to Ao Lie, and stood up and said: "Why didn't you send troops, before Yuan Taifu Baoju his son Yuan Shu led the troops to the battle, and the saint crowned Yuan Shu as the general of the Tiger Ben Zhonglang, and led the 8,000 Xiyuan army to go out to fight, but the result was a big defeat, and the 8,000 elites were killed and wounded!" After that, the saint ordered Changsha Taishou Sun Jian to flank the Wancheng traitors, who wanted to fight with Sun Wentai's bravery, but also a big defeat and a loss, and fled! ”
Ao Lie frowned and said, "How can this be? ”
Taifu Yuan Kui hurriedly stood up to defend his son Yuan Shu: "The reason why our army lost two battles is not that the soldiers are incompetent, but that Zhang Shao, the son of Zhang Jiao, has a very high reputation in the Yellow Turban Yu Party, and Wancheng alone has gathered more than 100,000 people, plus the Yellow Turban thieves in Mount Tai, Montenegro and other places are vying for the scene, echoing each other from afar, and now the traitors under the command of Zhang Shao have reached a million people." ”
After listening to He Jin and Yuan Kui's narration, Ao Lie also felt the seriousness of the problem, and his sword eyebrows couldn't help frowning slightly.
