Chapter 2: Rebirth at the end of the Han Dynasty

In 173 A.D., that is, the second year of Emperor Xiping of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and in the Lingfu of Wuyuan County, Bingzhou, three men, one old, one middle and one young stood side by side in the courtyard, looking at the closed door of the bedroom with a nervous face.

It was evening, the sun was about to set, and several red and bloody fiery clouds were hanging in the sky. The old man inadvertently looked up at the sky, and suddenly noticed that the fiery clouds that had been hovering in the sky had changed, converging towards the sky above his courtyard at a speed visible to the naked eye. The old man said to the middle-aged and young people beside him in amazement: "Bo'an, He'er, look at the sky. ”

After hearing this, the middle-aged man and the young man called Bo'an raised his head and looked into the sky, only to see the rapidly converging fire clouds stranded in the sky above his courtyard, and then began to change various shapes, and finally turned into a mighty dragon shape, with the dragon's head looking up to the sky, the dragon's tail pointing straight to the sky, and a dragon's claw pointing straight to his bedroom. The old and young were surprised and inexplicable, looking at each other, but no one could speak.

At this moment, a loud cry of a baby came from the bedroom, breaking the silence in the courtyard, and at the same time, the vision of heaven dispersed, as if the shocking scene had never appeared. Soon after, a sweaty midwife opened the door and walked out, and said to the middle-aged man with a happy face: "Congratulations to the county commander, Mrs. has successfully given birth to a little son, and the mother and child are safe." ”

The middle-aged man said with a smile on his face: "Okay, good, good, you can go to the housekeeper to receive the reward in a while." The midwife shook her head with a smile and said: "The county commander loves the people like children, so that we, the ordinary people, have a good life, and it is right to do something for the adults, and what kind of reward do you want to talk about?" After saying that, he turned around and walked into the bedroom again, regardless of anything else.

"Father," a crisp child's voice broke the temporary silence, and the young man happily ran to the middle-aged man's side, pulled the middle-aged man's sleeve, and continued while shaking: "I have a younger brother, I have a younger brother!" The middle-aged man looked down at the young man shaking his sleeves, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, his eyes were full of love, but he said in his mouth: "He'er, you are a member of the Han clan, and you should have the demeanor of the clan, how can you be so happy and lose your etiquette?" The young man let go of his hand and replied in a low voice, "No, the child knows, remember his father's teachings." ”

"Okay, Bo'an, you are good at everything, that's it, obviously you love He'er very much, but you just want to pretend to be a strict father." The old man walked over with a smile and interjected. The middle-aged man said: "I, Liu Yu, am a relative of the Han family, and I take it as my responsibility to help the Han family and benefit the people, if I can't even teach my own son, how can I talk about it" "Okay, okay," the old man waved his hand to interrupt Liu Yu's words, "I know that you have ambitions in your chest, but with a certain observation, this big man, I'm afraid that the sky is going to change, relatives and eunuchs are fighting endlessly, and loyal ministers have taken refuge in the mountains, your ambitions have a long way to go." Well, let's not talk about these today, is it time for you to promise your promise to the old man? ”

Liu Yu's face was suddenly full of bitterness, and he responded carefully: "Father-in-law, you see, the vision that appeared in the sky just now is shocking, and it is clearly in response to the newborn young son, presumably this son will be able to make a career for the Han Dynasty in the future, you see, is it going to be discussed later?" When the old man heard this, his face immediately became like water: "Liu Yu! The old man has no children under his knees, only a daughter marries you as his wife, you let go of the high-ranking officials left by the ancestors, don't want to start from the young officials, the old man has no complaints, only proposes to choose one of your and my daughter's children to inherit the old man's inheritance in the future, you are full of promises, and now I see a lot of visions, my daughter's young son has an unlimited future, but you have to regret it? ”

It turned out that Liu Yu was originally a member of the royal family of the Han Dynasty, and when he was young, he gave up inheriting his father's fiefdom and came to Bingzhou alone, starting from a small official, and usually used the support of the old father-in-law, and the old father-in-law had no children under his knees, so he discussed with Liu Yu that he would choose one of his sons in the future to inherit the family business of the old father-in-law, that is, let the newborn son follow his mother's surname and change his surname to Ao.

Liu Yu said embarrassedly: "Father-in-law, if this is not the case, wait for the next child to be born, and let him inherit your family business?" The old man surnamed Ao angrily reprimanded: "It's nonsense, the old man is sixty-eight years old this year, can you wait until your next child is born?" Hugh has to say more, the old man has already thought about it, and he is going to be the newborn child, surnamed Ao, Minglie, the next generation of the head of my Ao family. Liu Yu saw that his old father-in-law was angry, and hurriedly responded: "Okay, it's called Ao Lie, but it's up to the father-in-law to decide." The old man surnamed Ao nodded with satisfaction and said: "One and one martyr, one static and one moving, one article and one martial arts, let He'er learn literature in the future, let Lie'er play martial arts, wonderful, wonderful!" After speaking, he looked up to the sky and laughed.

*********************

In the master bedroom of the county mansion, Liu Yu looked at his wife Ao Xue's pale face with pity, and said gently: "Madam, it's hard work." Mrs. Ao gently pushed the newborn baby boy next to her in the direction of Liu Yu, and said softly: "Husband, look, this is our young son, you can give it a name." Liu Yu looked down at the young son in Mrs. Ao's arms, and saw that although the child was still in swaddling clothes, for some reason, Liu Yu could really feel a deep, sharp and restrained aura on the child. With a sigh, Liu Yu turned his head to look at his wife, with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth: "Don't think about it, the father-in-law has already named the child, called Ao Lie, with your surname." "Huh." A faint laugh interrupted the conversation between the husband and wife, and the two hurriedly looked down at the young son, only to see the young son's mouth open in surprise, and while smiling indistinctly, he tried to shake the two little hands together, as if he wanted to applaud and welcome.

Mrs. Ao couldn't help but chuckle, reached out and tucked the quilt that had been scattered by the young son, and then said to Liu Yu, "Did you see it?" The child seems to like this name very much. Liu Yu nodded helplessly, as if he had accepted his fate: "Okay, if he likes it, he can call it this name, anyway, I can't beat my old father-in-law." Mrs. Ao couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, and said angrily: "What? Isn't it good to take my last name? Liu Yu shook his head and reluctantly said, "It's not bad, it's just"

Mrs. Ao stretched out her jade hand, put it on the back of Liu Yu's hand, and persuaded softly: "Don't worry, husband, think about it carefully, no matter whose surname this child is, it's your blood and blood, isn't it?" You are still the father of the child, and this can never be changed. Liu Yu lowered his head and thought seriously for a while, then said with a smile: "What Madame said is not bad, I think too much, is it possible that I am still afraid that this little thing will not be called Dad in the future?" ”

In this way, Ao Lie, who is a fan of ancient martial arts and an adventure fan in the 21st century, came to the Eastern Han Dynasty by mistake and became Liu Yu's second son, and he followed his mother's surname by mistake, and is still called Ao Lie!

Time flies, time flies. Eight years later, the time came to Guanghe four years, and Liu Yu had been promoted to the Taishou of Jiuyuan County because of his outstanding political achievements.

The summer afternoon sun pours down, making people feel warm and unable to lift their strength. But in the backyard of the county guard's mansion, there is a burly young man who is tirelessly practicing swordsmanship. Between offense and defense, it is natural, and the sword momentum seems to be flowing water, and there is no intention of stagnation, which shows that this young man has worked hard in the art of immersing himself in swordsmanship. This is Ao Lie after the crossing, in his previous life, he was an ancient martial arts practitioner with excellent martial arts, after being reborn, after a short period of entanglement, he quickly lost his previous everything, and quickly integrated into the new life. A good man should carry a three-foot sword and make an immortal reputation, isn't this exactly what he pursued in his previous life? Now that I have the opportunity to come to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, to this era of smoke and hegemony, how can I live up to the good intentions of God? Five nonsense? With Ao Lie's rebirth, the disaster that made the Han people suffer will be eliminated!

Since his rebirth, Ao Lie has insisted on practicing the stunts he learned in Wudang Mountain in his previous life every day, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, regardless of the cold and heat. In the early morning and night, practice Wudang's peerless heart method Wuji Jiuyang Gong; Practice Tai Chi Sword and Tai Chi Gun during the day; In the evening, various methods and herbs are used to boil up the strength and strengthen the muscles and bones. Combined with the experience and experience of his previous life, coupled with eight years of hard training, Ao Lie's exercises, swordsmanship and marksmanship are in a class of their own, although they are still far from the realm of the grandmaster, they can also be called a master. What especially surprised Ao Lie was the change in his body, and he didn't know what Lu Dao was for, since he was reborn, he felt that his strength was several times greater than in his previous life. Then, after various 21st-century training methods and the cultivation of various rare herbs in this life, and the potential energy was stimulated to the maximum, Ao Lie felt that he could now easily kill a cow with one punch. This was not possible before.

After practicing swordsmanship, Ao Lie put away the long sword in his hand, and as soon as he finished wiping his sweat with a towel, he heard a sound of footsteps from far and near. No need to ask, it must be Mrs. Ao, my mother, who is familiar with her habits, who brought her tea. In the past few years, whenever she has been practicing, Mrs. Ao will seize his short rest time and bring over tea made by herself, or tea such as honey water. Sometimes his father Liu Yu, eldest brother Liu He, and grandfather Ao Laozhang will also follow. This made the reborn Ao Lie feel the warmth of family affection more and more deeply. As an orphan in his previous life, he could only feel a little bit of such warmth in his dreams.

Sure enough, after the courtyard door was pushed open, Mrs. Ao's plump figure appeared in Ao Lie's sight. Mrs. Ao slowly walked to Ao Lie's side, picked up the coat on the hanger and draped it on Ao Lie's body, then reached into her arms, took out a white silk handkerchief, and gently wiped it on Ao Lie's forehead. Ao Lie felt the mother's inadvertent maternal love, and a happy smile appeared on his face: "Mother, the child has already wiped his sweat just now. Mrs. Ao said "um" lightly, but the movements in her hands did not stop, and she helped Ao Lie wipe it again seriously and carefully.
