More than ten days later, Cai Yong's arrival temporarily ended Ao Lie's miserable cultivation life. Cai Yong came this time at the invitation of Liu Yu to discuss the marriage between Ao Lie and Cai Yan.

Wang Ao Ancestor was also happy in his heart, and naturally he would not force Ao Lie to practice anymore. This also gave Ao Lie time to get tired of being with Cai Yan again.

In the lobby of the county guard's mansion, Liu Yu sat on the main seat, Wang Ao Laozu sat in the first position under the left hand, and Cai Yong sat in the first position under the right hand. Liu Yu took the lead in raising the wine glass and said: "Bo Ji came from afar, the carriage and horses were tired, and he drank this cup full, and the right to catch the wind." ”

Cai Yong said: "Bo'an, don't be busy drinking first, this time I came, and I also brought the edict of the Son of Heaven." You let Lie'er, General Lu Bu, and General Zhang Liao come to the lobby. ”

When Liu Yu heard this, he suddenly understood in his heart, more than ten days ago, he wrote to the court to show the great military exploits made by these three people, and now he should be rewarded. So he immediately sent for the three of them to come to the lobby.

After a while, the three of them walked into the lobby. Cai Yong first glanced at Ao Lie, and saw that Ao Lie had grown a lot taller and stronger, and his heart was happy. When I turned my head to look at Lu Bu, I saw that Lu Bu was holding his hands up, not only showing talent, but also majestic and extraordinary; Looking at Zhang Liao, his face is like purple jade, and his eyes are like stars. Just looking at their appearance, you can see the extraordinaryness of these three people, none of them are mediocre and inactive.

Cai Yong stood up, walked to the middle of the hall, and read aloud: "Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty said: The Xiongnu have repeatedly violated the border, and the crime is extremely heinous. Captain Ao Lie, the first soldier, bravely crowned the three armies, led the troops to break the Hun cavalry, and specially added the title of General Weiyuan; Buyi Lu Bu, brave and good at fighting, was crowned Fenwei Lieutenant, and was ordered to serve in the Department of Assassination and History of Bingzhou within three months; The military marquis Zhang Liao, with a degree of command, was crowned as a captain of the Yue cavalry, and listened to orders under the account of General Weiyuan. Chin this! ”

The three of Ao Lie knelt on the ground and said in unison: "The ministers are grateful!" ”

After reading the edict, Cai Yong handed the edict of the Son of Heaven to Ao Lie, and said with a smile: "The virtuous nephew was ten years old, and he was named the general of Weiyuan, which can be described as an unprecedented thing. The three nodded yes.

Nodding with a smile, Cai Yong turned to face Liu Yu and said with a smile: "Brother Bo'an, there is another edict issued to you by the Son of Heaven, please accept it." Liu Yu was stunned when he heard this, then immediately got up and walked to the bottom of the hall and fell to his knees. Cai Yong took out the second edict and read it aloud: "The edict of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty said: Jiuyuan is too guarded by Liu Yu, diligent in government for the people, outstanding political achievements, and in this battle against the Xiongnu, he commanded well and beheaded 10,000 elite soldiers of the Xiongnu. Liu Yu was promoted to Youzhou pastor, led the post of general of Suibian, and took up his post within a month. ”

Liu Yu took the edict with both hands and said, "Minister Liu Yu, thank you for the order!" ”

After that, everyone sat down again, pushed the cups and drank happily. At the banquet, Liu Yu said to Cai Yong: "Brother Bo, you see, did the marriage between Lie'er and Yan'er take this opportunity to decide?" Cai Yong stroked his beard and smiled: "Okay, well, Brother Lao Bo'an ordered someone to choose an auspicious day, and before you go to work, let them set a kiss." ”

Ao Lie listened to the conversation between the two, and was very happy in his heart, but he was suffering from the inconvenience of interjecting, although he was itching, he didn't dare to speak rashly. Lu Bu and Zhang Liao saw Ao Lie's expression in their eyes, the two of them had been with Ao Lie for a long time, and naturally knew Ao Lie's thoughts, glanced at each other, and then laughed at the same time. Ao Lie's face was red from the laughter of the two, and he hurriedly lowered his head to hide his embarrassment.

Three days later, the county guard mansion ushered in a great event, that is, the marriage ceremony of the second son, Ao Lie and Cai Yan. The county warden's mansion was flooded with a festive red color inside and out, and festive objects such as red curtains and lamps and candles could be seen everywhere.

Above the lobby, Ao Lie was dressed mainly in black and embroidered with red trim, looking more heroic and upright. Cai Yan is also dressed in a light red auspicious dress, which sets off her face when she first saw the city and the country, and it is even more delicate and incomprehensible. The two stood side by side in front of Liu Yu and Cai Yong, Ao Lie stepped forward first, picked up a cup of fragrant tea, and handed it to Cai Yong with both hands: "Father-in-law, please taste tea." Cai Yong smiled and said, "Okay, good." Then, Cai Yan also picked up a cup of fragrant tea and handed it to Liu Yu, and said shyly: "Father, please taste tea." Liu Yu laughed a few times and took the fragrant tea. Cai Yan picked up another cup of fragrant tea and handed it to Mrs. Ao, this time the shyness in her tone subsided a lot: "Mother, please taste tea." After all, in private, Cai Yan and Mrs. Ao get along very well these days, and in private, Cai Yan has already changed her name to Mrs. Ao's mother. Mrs. Ao smiled and took the fragrant tea and praised: "Yan'er is so good, you are very beautiful today." One sentence made Cai Yan's little face even more embarrassed.

Next, the two sides exchanged love with each other, and Ao Lie took out a rare jade pendant made of red warm jade engraved with a giant dragon and handed it to Cai Yan. This jade pendant was made for Ao Lie by Ao Lie's grandfather Ao Lao Zhang, according to the vision that appeared in the sky, when Ao Lie was born. Ao Laozhang went to Jiangdong to do business, and he didn't have time to rush back for a while, so he didn't appear at Ao Lie's marriage ceremony. Cai Yan took out a golden hairpin, which was carved with the scenery of mountains and flowing water. After the two exchanged love tokens with each other, the marriage ceremony was completed. When Ao Lie reaches the age of sixteen, he can marry Cai Yan. This was discussed by Cai Yong and Liu Yu at the beginning.

Another day after the marriage ceremony, Cai Yong offered to leave, in fact, he wanted to stay a few more days, but Emperor Ling's edict was very clear, asking Liu Yu to go to Youzhou within a month. Now because of the marriage between Ao Lie and Cai Yan, it has been delayed for nearly ten days, and Cai Yong naturally cannot delay Liu Yu's time, and according to the law of the Han Dynasty, Cai Yong, as the angel who issued the edict, must return to the court as soon as possible after issuing the edict.

At the moment of separation, the most uncomfortable thing was undoubtedly Ao Lie and Cai Yan, who had just been married, the two stood hand in hand and face to face, speechless for a long time, and no one could bear to say goodbye first.

Finally, Cai Yong sighed and said to the other two: "Okay, Lie'er, you should go back and help your father pack up, your father is not far from taking office." Liu Yu said on the side: "Yes, Lie'er, Yan'er, you are already married, are you still worried about the day when you will see you again?" Brother Bo is also going back to the court, so don't delay Brother Bo Jiao's trip. ”

Hearing the persuasion of his father-in-law and father-in-law, Ao Lie squeezed out a smile at Cai Yan that was not much worse than crying: "Yan'er, you should go back to Luoyang with your father-in-law." Cai Yan's eyes suddenly slipped two pearls like tears, and he sobbed softly: "I'll wait, you come to Luoyang to find me." Ao Lie nodded vigorously and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely go to you, Yan'er, if the relationship between the two is long, how can it be in the morning and twilight?" Cai Yan muttered and repeated: "If the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight." Then, Yan'er was in Luoyang, waiting for her husband to meet. After speaking, he endured the reluctance in his heart, turned around and got into the carriage.

Seeing Cai Yan get into the carriage, Liu Yu smiled and said to Cai Yong: "Brother Bo, have a good trip, and in addition, take care of a certain daughter-in-law." Cai Yong shook his head and smiled: "You guy, it's only serious to take care of my aunt for me!" After that, the two couldn't help but laugh.

was so troubled by the two, the atmosphere of parting was diluted a lot, Ao Lie walked to the carriage and bent down to salute Cai Yong: "Father-in-law has a safe journey." Cai Yong reached out and patted Ao Lie's shoulder, and without saying anything, he turned around and walked into the carriage.

In the sound of carriages and horses, the carriage of Cai Yong's father and daughter was far away after all. Although Ao Lie was difficult to let go in his heart, although Cai Yan kept turning back on the carriage, he couldn't stop the wheels from turning forward.

Just when Ao Lie was still staring blankly, the Yiren who had disappeared from sight, a deep voice sounded in his ears: "Everyone is gone, what are you looking at?" While there are still a few days to go to Youzhou, hurry up and practice for me, and make up for all the shortcomings of the past few days for the old man. When Ao Lie heard this, he suddenly looked bitter, turned his head hard, looked at Wang Ao Ancestor who came to him at some point, and said with a wry smile: "Master, do you want to be so ruthless?" ”

Wang Ao's face froze, and he said in a deep voice: "What? Do you want the old man to drive you to practice by himself? Ao Lie hurriedly shook his hand vigorously and said, "No, no, the disciple will go, go immediately, go immediately." "Joke, let Wang Ao Ancestor do it, isn't that looking for abuse? Therefore, Ao Lie walked very obediently to the courtyard where he practiced on weekdays.

Then came another torturous day. Wang Ao took Ao Lie to do his daily homework repeatedly, which made Ao Lie miserable every day, but Ao Lie never said a word of complaint, and the experience of practicing martial arts in his previous life told him that only by suffering hardships can he become a master. There is no end to martial arts, so what Ao Lie can do is to grit his teeth and work the road of martial arts, constantly moving forward and moving forward.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another three days have passed. On this day, Liu Yu decided to go to Youzhou to take office, without bringing any subordinates, only the whole family, young and old, and of course, Shuang'er and Wang Ao followed. The group took advantage of the early morning to set off quietly, and I have to say that Liu Yu is a qualified Taishou, and he doesn't want to have a farewell party that costs people and money, so a scene of quietly setting off happened.

But when they walked to the city gate, they found that a large number of soldiers and people were already standing at the city gate, quietly waiting for Liu Yu and others. Standing at the front of the farewell team is the current Fenwei Captain Lu Bu. After Lu Bu saw Liu Yu and others coming, he walked to Liu Yu's car and bent down to salute: "Yu Taishou, the last general Lu Bu, lead the army and civilians to see off Taishou!" After speaking, he didn't forget to glance at Ao Lie from the corner of his eye.

Ao Lie turned over and dismounted, walked in front of Lu Bu, and was full of emotion for a while. After getting along for more than two years, the relationship between Ao Lie and Lu Bu is not inferior to that of the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang, who were commendable later. The two brothers practiced martial arts together, went to the battlefield together, destroyed the invasion of the Huns together, and on the battlefield together, completely handed over their backs to each other, and shouted the oath of life and death together. Scene after scene of the past, bit by bit, resurfaced in the hearts of the two.

Stretching out their hands and holding each other's arms tightly, both of them had a lot of things to say to each other in their hearts, but when the words came to their mouths, they couldn't say anything. A thousand words, all in the tight grip of the two brothers, the water ** melted.

"Congratulations to Liu Taishou!"

"Mrs. Liu, you must remember us villagers!"

"Liu Taishou, during your tenure, we ordinary people have lived a good life, we thank you!"

"In the future, when the baby of my family grows up, I must let him go to Youzhou to join the army and follow Taishou!"

The people shouted in unison, but the seemingly chaotic shouts were all filled with gratitude to Liu Yu. The people of this era don't care who the emperor of heaven is, what they care about is that they can have enough food and clothing, who can bring them such a good life, who is the hero in their minds!

With the shouts of the people, under the rule of Liu Yu, the elite soldiers of Jiuyuan, who have always been known for their strict military regulations, thousands of people hula lala knelt together, their faces full of reluctance. These elite soldiers are all brought out by Liu Yu, although Liu Yu's specialty is to manage political affairs, but his frank personality and broad mind deeply moved these proud soldiers and fierce generals all the time. I don't know who took the lead in whispering: "Bo Fa Xirong, Bo Yan returned, out of the car Peng Peng, the spring is late" and then thousands of soldiers followed and whispered: "Now I see the gentleman, I will think about it now"

Liu Yu, who was sitting on horseback, was in tears at the moment, and he sang softly in his mouth: "The Son of Heaven ordered me to go to the city in the square, the king's life is difficult, and the king's affairs are difficult."

At the end, everyone sang along: "Fierce and ruthless, snow and rain, ugly in the execution, from the Son of Heaven!" ”

After singing a song out of the car, Liu Yu turned over and dismounted, and said to the onlookers and the soldiers who knelt on the ground: "Yu has all the fathers and colleagues to respect and cherish each other, and death is enough!" ”

When thousands of sergeants heard this, they couldn't help but shed tears, and shouted bitterly: "Congratulations to Taishou!" ”
