When he saw the ugly boy in the cage, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but think of his own son.
It's obviously just a bit similar, but why does he always remind me of Li'er?
Dong Zhuo was also puzzled by this, but no matter what, when he saw Li Yuanba, Dong Zhuo felt a sense of intimacy in his heart, and the more he looked at him, the more he liked him.
Seeing Dong Zhuo approaching, Li Shimin immediately put down his lunch box and said respectfully: "Greetings, my lord."
As soon as Li Yuanba saw Dong Zhuo, he jumped up in surprise and said, "Dad, let Yuanba out quickly. This place is not fun at all. Yuanba promises not to fight again."
Dong Zhuo's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this, and together he injured more than a dozen of his generals. In the eyes of this boy, it was just a fight. He was really a terrifying boy.
"What's going on?" Dong Zhuo looked at Li Shimin and asked knowingly.
Hearing this, Li Shimin smiled bitterly and said: "For my information, my lord, after my brother recovered from his illness, he suddenly became gifted with supernatural powers for some reason. He even learned martial arts without a teacher. He just went crazy often for some unknown reason, so he injured many generals and generals.
The servant and my father had no choice but to lock him up temporarily to prevent him from hurting others again."
Seeing Li Yuanba who was giggling in the cage and kept calling his father, Dong Zhuo asked: "Why does Yuanba always mistake his general for his father?"
"This..."
Li Shimin actually didn't know either, but in the end he gave an ambiguous answer.
"Maybe it's because my father's appearance ten years ago is very similar to that of my lord."
"Oh?" Dong Zhuo looked surprised.
Seeing this, Li Shimin explained: "My father was also a martial artist ten years ago, but his martial arts skills became sparse after he entered politics."
To be fair, Li Yuan and Dong Zhuo are nothing alike. One is gentle and the other is mighty and majestic.
However, what few people know is that Li Yuan was also a martial artist ten years ago, possessing excellent martial arts skills, especially archery.
Ten years ago, Li Yuan was also a tall and powerful Liangzhou man. But after ten years of hard work in officialdom, Li Yuan's whole temperament has changed. He is no longer mighty and wild, but has become restrained and elegant.
Li Shimin believed that it was Li Yuan's change that made Li Yuanba unable to recognize Li Yuan. After all, Li Yuanba's memory was still ten years ago, so he still remembered Li Shimin and Li's mother.
Dong Zhuo nodded and agreed with Li Shimin's statement in his heart. After all, compared to resurrecting a dead body, Li Shimin's words are more convincing.
"Dad, second brother, what are you talking about? Can you let me out first?" Li Yuanba said.
Dong Zhuo turned back to look at Li Yuanba, then turned his head away and said: "Yuanba, why did you call me dad?"
Dong Zhuo didn't even dare to look into Li Yuanba's eyes, because when he looked at him, he would think of Dong Li, and he would feel unbearable.
Li Yuanba scratched his head and said blankly: "Dad is just dad, there is no reason why."
There is no way for normal people to communicate with mentally retarded people. In the past, Dong Zhuo would have just thrown away his sleeves and walked away, but after what happened to Dong Li, Dong Zhuo has become extremely patient... especially when dealing with mentally retarded children.
After hearing what Li Yuanba said, Dong Zhuo seemed to understand something. He raised his head and laughed and said: "Yuanba, you are right. There are so many reasons in this world. But you must also remember that I am not your father.
My father is Li Yuan. I, Dong Zhuo, only have one son, his name is Dong Li, but he died in Hulao Pass."
When Dong Zhuo's words reached Li Yuanba's ears, all he heard was that you are not my son.
For Li Yuanba, this was like the sky was falling. He immediately cried: "Dad, I am Yuanba, don't you want Yuanba anymore?"
Li Yuanba cried bitterly like a child, but this scene felt extremely familiar to Dong Zhuo. Dong Li often cried like this in front of Dong Zhuo before.
"Yuanba, don't cry. Although I am not your biological father, I can accept you as my adopted son and be your adopted father." Dong Zhuo said softly.
Li Yuanba was stunned and asked blankly: "Father? What is that?"
"Dad too." Dong Zhuo smiled.
"That's great. Dad didn't abandon Yuanba. Yuanba is still dad's son."
Li Yuanba didn't understand the difference between an adopted father and a biological father. He just thought that Dong Zhuo didn't want him, so he was naturally very happy.
Looking at Li Yuanba like a child, Dong Zhuo regained the feeling of being a father. His heart was full of tenderness, and then he said to Li Shimin next to him: "Open the cage."
When Li Shimin heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and he advised: "My lord, no, Yuanba will go crazy at some point, and if he hurts my lord..."
"No, he won't hurt me."
Seeing this, Li Ru and Li Shimin tried to persuade him, but they still couldn't get rid of Dong Zhuo.
Li Shimin had no choice but to open the cage, and Li Yuanba jumped out with joy, and then came to Dong Zhuo's side.
Seeing this scene, Li Shimin was extremely puzzled. There was no reason why Li Yuanba was so close to Dong Zhuo.
Li Shimin couldn't help but think of a rumor that had been circulating in the house recently.
Is it really a resurrection of a dead body?
After the death of Master Dong Li, his soul possessed Yuan Ba?
It’s absolutely impossible, there are no ghosts and gods in this world.
Just when Li Shimin was thinking wildly, Dong Zhuo weighed the iron chain on Li Yuanba's body and found that it was really heavy. Then he said to Li Shimin: "What are you doing standing still? Let's open the iron chain too."
"Lord, this..."
"I'm not afraid of this general, so what are you afraid of?"
Li Shimin had no choice but to untie Li Yuanba's chains.
Then, Dong Zhuo took the freed Li Yuanba to find Li Yuan. Along the way, everyone in the Li Mansion hid away when they saw Li Yuanba, for fear that he would suddenly burst out and hurt others.
After Li Yuan saw Li Yuanba, he initially thought it was Li Shimin who let him go without permission. He was just about to get angry, but when he saw Dong Zhuo, he understood everything, so he didn't dare to say anything more.
Dong Zhuo wants to accept Li Yuanba as his adopted son, so Li Yuan will naturally not object.
After all, Liangzhou Governor Dong Zhuo adopted Li Yuan's foolish son as his adopted son, which was a great thing for both Li Yuan and the Li family.
With Dong Zhuo as his backing, not only will Li Yuan's career be smoother, but the Li family will also grow rapidly, so Li Yuan has no reason to object.
What's more, Li Yuanba now only has some familiarity with Li Yuan, his biological father, and has no impression of him at all.
Li Yuanba only recognizes three people now, his mother, second brother and Dong Zhuo. Among these three people, Li's mother and Li Shimin have to rely on coaxing, but they obey Dong Zhuo's words.
Therefore, Dong Zhuo accepted Li Yuanba as his adopted son, which solved a big problem for the Li family.
Witnessed by Li Yuan, Li's mother, and everyone in the Li family, Li Yuanba formally bowed down to Dong Zhuo.
Of course, Li Yuanba didn't understand the meaning. He only knew that his father asked him to kneel down, so he knelt down.
Dong Zhuo helped Li Yuanba up, laughed heartily, and said: "Yuanba, from today on, your name is Dong Yuanba, and you are my son, Dong Zhuo."
