After wiping Ao Lie's sweat, Mrs. Ao reached out and took the teacup held by the maid, handed it to Ao Lie, and said, "Taste it, this is the new tea that my mother has just brewed, you have been very talented in tea tasting since you were a child, see how the tea tastes this time?" Ao Lie stretched out his hand to take the teacup, first lowered his head and smelled the aroma coming out of the teacup, and then put it to his mouth and drank a small sip, then raised his head and said to Mrs. Ao with a smile: "Mother, this is the newly picked sprouts this year, although it is slightly green, but the taste is excellent. ”

Mrs. Ao chuckled and said, "You kid, you have a sweet mouth, as a martial artist, you should have an upright temperament, but you are flamboyant." Ao Lie retorted with a smile: "Mother is bad, who said that martial artists can't read poetry and books?" Should martial artists be outspoken? ”

"Ha Luha, what Lie'er said is right, practicing martial arts is certainly a good thing, but you also have to read a lot of books and cultivate your temperament, otherwise wouldn't you become a brave man?" With hearty laughter, Ao Lie's father, Liu Yu, strode in from outside the courtyard. Ao Lie immediately tidied up his clothes, then stood with his head down, saluted Liu Yu, and said, "Father." Liu Yu patted Ao Lie's shoulder twice, and then said with satisfaction: "Yes, it is much stronger again, it seems that you are not lazy these days." Mrs. Ao said angrily: "You are still lazy, you are busy with government affairs and have little leisure, so naturally I don't know how hard Lie'er works on weekdays." This kid sometimes works hard to make me feel distressed to look at as a mother. ”

Liu Yu laughed twice when he heard this, and then continued: "Okay, don't practice today, your grandfather has come to see you, come with me to the lobby, I heard that your grandfather also brought you a treasure." "Really?" Ao Lie suddenly cheered and jumped up, and Ao Lie had an indescribable sense of affection for his grandfather. Speaking of which, it is still my grandfather's credit to be able to continue to use the name of my previous life in this life. Without waiting for his father to say anything more, Ao Lie spread his legs and ran towards the lobby as if flying.

Looking at Ao Lie's galloping figure, Liu Yu had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and shouted in his mouth: "You are more steady!" But Ao Lie didn't seem to hear it, and ran faster. provoked Mrs. Ao to cover her mouth and snicker. Liu Yu looked back at his wife's smiling face, and said with a wry smile: "This child is spoiled by you." Mrs. Ao retorted: "Doesn't the husband spoil him? You often say that Lie'er was born with a vision, and he will be a pillar of the Han Dynasty in the future, and let him do whatever he wants, you and I are just advising him to prevent him from going astray, why did he blame the concubine today? Liu Yu had a satisfied smile on his face and said: "Yes, in the past few years, Lie'er has made great progress in both learning and performing martial arts, and he will definitely achieve great things in the future." ”

Ao Lie didn't hear these words said by his parents later, and his heart had already flown to the lobby. Walking into the lobby, Ao Lie saw his grandfather Ao Lao sitting on a chair in the middle hall, and on the left side of his hand slightly, there was also a scribe about forty years old, with three strands of beard under his chin, looking otherworldly. His eldest brother Liu He was standing on the side, pouring tea for his grandfather and middle-aged scribe. Ao Lie walked to the lobby, saluted Ao Laozhang, and said, "The outside world is good." Then he turned to the middle-aged scribe and bowed, and said, "All right." ”

Since Ao Lie saw him, his eyes have never shifted and he has been staring at Ao Lie's body. After Ao Lie finished saluting, he said with a smile: "Lie'er, this is the great Confucian Cai Bojiao, you will be called uncle." When Ao Lie heard this, his brain was shocked, Cai Bo? Isn't that Hongru Cai Yong? This is the first celebrity of the Three Kingdoms that he has seen since he was reborn, in addition to his parents and eldest brother. Ao Lie didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly saluted again and said, "Uncle Cai is well." Cai Yong stroked his beard and smiled: "The virtuous nephew doesn't need to be polite, I often hear people say that Brother Bo'an has two sons of Dragon and Tiger under his knees, and the eldest sons Liu and Liu Zhenjun are outstanding in literature and are geniuses in the sky; The second son, Ao Lie, is both civil and military, writing poems at the age of three, writing at the age of five, and being a master of swordsmanship at the age of seven. ”

"Don't praise Brother Bo, don't praise these two little guys to the sky." Liu Yu strode into the lobby and said while offering his hand to Cai Yong. Cai Yong also bowed his hand to Liu Yu and said: "A few days ago, Yong went to the Western Regions to learn about the customs and customs, and wanted to sort out the materials for the revision of history. Liu Yu hurriedly waved his hand and said in a loud voice: "Where is it, Brother Bo can come, it is the only way to make the cold house shine." ”

At this time, Mr. Ao took over the conversation and said: "Speaking of which, on the way to business this time, the old man saw that the chaos in the Western Regions at the border of our Han Dynasty had been born, and the border chapter guarding the border seemed to have the intention of self-reliance, and I am afraid that a big chaos will arise." The tone was full of embarrassment. The lobby suddenly fell silent, everyone didn't know what to say, and Liu Yu was even more distressed and sighed.

"That's it, even if it's a big chaos, that's for the future, He'er, Lie'er, you two come forward." In the end, it was Ao Laozhang who broke the silence. Liu and Ao Lie took a few steps forward in response and stood side by side in front of Ao Laozhang. Old man Ao took out a book with a sheepskin cover from his arms, handed it to Liu He, and said: "This is a rare book of "Western Regions Benji" handed down from the Western Regions decades ago, which records the customs and customs of various countries in the Western Regions, as well as the landforms of mountains and rivers. It was the old man's accidental acquisition this time, so he gave it to you. Liu He was overjoyed, took the book with both hands, and said happily: "Thank you grandfather." ”

Ao Lie saw that his eldest brother got such a treasure, he couldn't help but feel itchy, staring directly at his grandfather's placket, hoping that his grandfather could take out a similar treasure from his arms. Uncle Ao felt Ao Lie's hot gaze, couldn't help but laugh, and teased Ao Lie: "What do you see, such a rare book, the old man only has one piece." Liu He, who was on the side, heard his grandfather's words, looked down at the rare book in his hand, and then handed the rare book to Ao Lie without any hesitation, turned his head and said to his grandfather: "Grandpa, the second brother is still young, how about giving this rare book to the second brother?" Ao Lie didn't wait for others to speak, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Absolutely not, the eldest brother is at the age of studying, how can you give me this rare book?" Besides, my brother is still young, and as the saying goes, the future will be long, and my grandfather will give it to me the next time he gets a rare book. Big brother, if the elder doesn't dare to resign, you can accept it. ”

Looking at the two brothers' concessions, Ao Laozhang and Liu Yu were both open-minded and very relieved. Even Cai Yong, who was sitting on the side of the guest, couldn't help but admire: "Brother Bo'an, the second son of the dragon and tiger, is really enviable, it's not a pair of dragon brothers and tiger brothers." Liu Yu smiled and humbly said: "Where is it, Brother Bo has praised it, and the praise is too much." Liu He turned to Cai Yong and saluted, and said: "Uncle Cai doesn't know, I can be called the dragon and phoenix among people, only my second brother is the only one, and his talent is less than one-ten-thousandth of the second brother." ”

Old man Ao stood up with a smile and said with a smile: "You don't have to be humble back and forth, this rare book was given to He'er by the old man, and this matter is settled." As for Lie'er, hehe, you all go out with the old man to have a look. After that, he walked out of the lobby first. Everyone followed behind Uncle Ao and walked out together.

Outside the lobby, I don't know when there was an iron cage, in the cage was a young horse, the whole body was snow-white, only on the forehead, there was a tuft of three-inch long golden mane, shaped like a crescent moon, and the mane under the neck was particularly strong, like a male lion. Old man Ao said loudly: "This is the old man's trip to the Western Regions, with 10,000 taels of gold to buy back the good horse, don't look at it is now a young foal, it is the descendant of the Western Regions Horse King, a purebred sweat and blood horse, called the night snow dragon horse." Lie'er, this is a gift from your grandfather, but whether you can surrender him or not depends on your ability. ”

Ao Lie was overjoyed when he heard this, his goal was to be like Huo Quai, the general of the hussars in the early Han Dynasty, and leave a strong mark in the history books. Walking quickly to the iron cage, Ao Lie looked at the snow-white colt and said softly: "I have wronged you, I will let you out, and we will gallop together in the future!" After speaking, he held the iron bars on the two iron cages with both hands and shouted: "Open!" The two iron bars were as if they were made of paper, and they broke in Ao Lie's hands. The crowd watching from the periphery of the lobby couldn't help but cheer in unison, and shouted enthusiastically: "The second son is mighty!" And the maids who served tea and poured water invariably grew up with small cherries, and their surprised appearance was extremely cute.

Ao Lie didn't pay attention to the reactions of others, looked intently at the colt in the cage, then stretched out his hands again, grabbed two more iron bars, and shouted again: "Open!" "Two more iron bars were wrenched. Ao Lie took two steps back and said to the foal in the cage, "Shine the night, come out." The foal seemed to sense Aolie's intentions, and leaped out of the iron cage, and then, like a wild horse, ran around the yard at the speed of the wind. Ao Lie looked at the running Zhaoye Ha Lu Ha and smiled, then galloped a few steps, jumped on the back of the night horse, and shouted: "Hurry! Zhaoye seemed to understand Ao Lie's meaning, and the figure running like the wind suddenly accelerated a little, as fast as lightning. After running for more than ten laps, he felt that the venting of the night was almost over, Ao Lie suddenly strangled his legs and shouted: "Xu! Teriya suddenly retracted his strength in the gallop, and the horse's hooves trampled the ground a few times, and his body suddenly slowed down. Ao Lie straightened his upper body on horseback and shouted again: "Don't move! "Illuminating the night is like an extension of Ao Lie, obediently stopped moving, a long roar in his mouth, a pair of hind hooves slightly bent, a pair of front hooves are soaring into the air, and even people and horses are stranded in the air for a moment, which looks mighty and extraordinary. The people around were dumbfounded, no one thought that this young foal of the Western Regions Horse King would be such a divine horse, and no one thought that Ao Lie, who was only eight years old, would have such superb riding skills.

"Good!" The first to react was the great Confucian Cai Yong. At this moment, this world-famous Confucian stroked his long beard and praised it in his mouth: "Swift as the wind, invaded like fire, Xu is like a forest, and immobile is like a mountain, this person is really eye-opening." Breathtaking, breathtaking! After Cai Yong finished saying this, the rest of the people came back to their senses, not to mention the expressions on the faces of Uncle Ao and Liu Yu and Liu Yu and the father and son, just the shouts and cheers of those subordinates, and the peach blossoms in the eyes of the maids, you can know how powerful Ao Lie is at this moment, how domineering and domineering he is.

The next moment, the entire county guard resounded with the shouts of "mighty" and "mighty", which lasted for a long time.
