Chapter 39: The Liu Family of Nanyang

  Instead, someone was practicing archery and managed to hit the red heart with seven or eight arrows out of ten, which shows that their archery skills are quite good.

  That man shot a few arrows and threw down his bow and arrow, just in time to see Liu Bu-yi. He immediately came forward and paid his respects: "Your humble servant Liu Wei has seen the true man!"

  Liu Wei? Isn't he that very capable official?

  Liu didn't forget that clearly, last time those bald donkeys framed him, this guy performed very well.

  He was moved in his heart and said, "No need for more courtesy, how is your child's illness from last time?"

  Liu Wei pushed the door open with reverence and made a bow, saying: "I'm disturbing your quiet cultivation, I really can't bear it. My family's dog son has already recovered from his wind chill, and we still have to thank you for bestowing us with the divine elixir..."

  He spoke with great caution, not daring to look up at Liu Bu's face, appearing extremely frightened.

  Liu was taken aback, but his heart skipped a beat. This really was a case of "as soon as the pillow is laid down, the head finds it". He immediately laughed and said: "Why be so polite? You and I share the same surname. I am from the Liu family of Nanyang, what branch of the Liu family are you from?"

  Liu Wei's face suddenly showed a look of being honored and surprised. Now, in the entire Yincheng County, who doesn't treat Liu Bu as a living god to worship?

  At this time, talking about family trees and surnames is the fastest way to get close.

  He carefully said: "This humble one is also from Nanyang Liu family, a descendant of Emperor Guangwu."

  Liu Buji's face lit up with joy, and he clapped his hands: "What a coincidence! Oh, I'm also from the Liu family of Nanyang, and I'm also a descendant of Emperor Guangwu! We're really from the same ancestral family."

  This is not nonsense either. Liu Bei was indeed a member of the Nanyang Liu clan in his original world, but which specific branch? How could he possibly figure that out?

  This is clearly an arbitrary claim of kinship!

  Moreover, Liu Bu was more than 1,500 years later than the Sui and Tang dynasties. Even if he really had a blood relationship with these people like Liu Wei, they would all be his ancestors.

  However, how could Liu Wei have thought of this? His face revealed an extremely surprised expression. In ancient times, blood ties and clan relationships were the most important. Being able to establish a relationship with the real Liu Bu, would not only benefit him, but also bring advantages to the entire Yin City's Liu family!

  "Alas, what a pity. I followed my master to learn martial arts in the mountains too early, and now I'm not even clear which family or generation I belong to. All I remember is that before going up the mountain, we were just not far from the foot of the mountain."

  "Maybe I'm from Yin City too. If you have time, you should help me check it out!" Liu Bu Yi said with a somewhat nostalgic tone.

  Liu Wei was overjoyed and hastily said: "I'll go help Zhenren investigate right away!"

  "Wait, how's your child's illness? Do you need me to take a look?" Liu asked with a smile.

  Liu Wei hastily said: "Thank you, Immortal, for giving me the two pellets of medicine. My son is already better. How dare I trouble the Immortal?"

  Liu Bei also pretended to be humble. Since Liu Wei said so, it's settled then. In this world, if you want to get by, you have to find an identity for yourself.

  Although Liu of Nanyang is not a big family name, it is the number one surname in the world. After Han Dynasty, there is no second Liu.

  The Liu family of Nanyang originated from the descendants of Liu Fa, the King of Changsha, and later gave rise to Emperor Guangwu of Han, Liu Xiu. It is also a surname that has branched out and dispersed, although it lacks strong cohesion, but scattered throughout the world, still possessing extremely powerful potential forces.

  Later on, when he came into contact with high society, Liu revealed his origins as a member of the Nanyang Liu clan. Others also didn't dare to look down on him!

  After all, the so-called noble families are basically from the Two Hans and were vassals of the Han dynasty. In terms of noble bloodlines, even the seven surnames and ten families in real history today do not dare to compare with Liu Bei.

  It's said that in the future, when it comes to surname rankings, including the later-compiled Hundred Family Surnames, the Liu surname is ranked extremely low. It's precisely because other surnames, if they were to be compared with the Liu surname in terms of bloodline, would find it too embarrassing!

  Liu was not prepared to take advantage of the Liu family's surname from Nanyang to gain fame for himself, and Liu Wei was even more enthusiastic, without even entering his own home, he simply entrusted someone to send the medicine back home.

  He rode a horse all the way to Liu's family gathering place in Liuying.

  He is now working at the county government office and can be considered a respectable person. As soon as he returns to his hometown, he immediately attracts attention from passersby.

  Here is the translation:

  Having arrived here, Liu Wei was anxious but didn't dare to urge his horse to gallop. He had to exchange pleasantries with a smile, otherwise the spittle stars on the back of his tribesmen could also kill him.

  "Gentlemen, uncles and brothers, I have an urgent matter today, so I won't chat with you all. I'm looking for Fifth Master..."

  With that said, the surrounding crowd dispersed, and everyone said: "Since there's something going on in the government office, you should go ahead and take care of it first!"

  Liu Wei burst out laughing: "This matter is not a government affair, it's a great thing for our Liu family. I'll discuss it with Fifth Master first, and then tell everyone!"

  Wu Ye is the patriarch of the Liu family in this small town, although he can't be considered a big shot. However, when he was young, he also went to Daxing City to take the imperial examination, and although he didn't pass, his vision and knowledge are far superior to those of rural farmers.

  Liu Wei rushed to Liu Wugong's house, where he was reading a book. Seeing Liu Wei rushing over in a flustered manner, he couldn't help but scold him: "You're also an official now, how can you be so reckless and impetuous? What kind of demeanor is this?"

  "Old Fifth," Liu Wei hastily put on a smiling face: "This time it's really a big deal, you know? Is Liu Bu-yi a real person?"

  The place where the Liu family lived in seclusion, although dozens of miles away from the county town, was isolated from news. But could it be that such a big piece of news as the bandits' attack on Yincheng and their near capture of it was unknown there?

  "Is Liu Bu-yi a real person?" Wu Ye immediately realized something: "What are you saying?" His eyes suddenly lit up.

  Liu Wei couldn't help but sigh, indeed old ginger is still spicy! Having followed Liu Bu Yan for so long, he hadn't thought of this possibility, and yet the moment his clan leader heard it, he immediately thought of it.

  "Yes, the real person said that he was taken to Wudang Mountain by his master since childhood to practice. Although I don't remember clearly, it must still be one of our Nanyang Liu's branches, and maybe even from our Yincheng Liu's branch!"

  As soon as he said this, Liu Wugong's spirit was shocked, and he said: "Wudang Mountain is only a hundred miles away from our Yincheng. Since the immortal was taken up the mountain from under the mountain, it must be our Yincheng Liu family. Let me check..."

  Originally, according to the system of rites, the Son of Heaven had seven temples, feudal lords had five temples, high officials had three temples, and scholars had one temple. Commoners were not allowed to set up temples. Even ordinary people compiling family trees did not begin until after the Yuan Dynasty.

  But Liu's family was of imperial descent at the time, and they had also compiled a genealogy before. However, after all these years, it has long since been lost, so where can we find the genealogy to look at now?
