Li Yuan had special privileges as a Duke. Although he was at the front line, he had brought his family with him, so he did not live in the army. Instead, he had a house in town.
Li Yan brought Li Rui to the front door of the Li Residence, threw the reins of the horse to the servant, and pulled Li Rui into the door.
Behind Li Yuan's mansion was where his family lived, and in front was where he handled official business. Li Yan brought Li Rui to the open front office and found a kind-looking old man sitting inside. It must be Tang Gong Li Yuan.
Li Rui had no experience in officialdom, and he didn't know how to greet Li Yuan, so he simply stood there and didn't move. Anyway, Li Yan still had to go up and reply.
Li Yuan sized up Li Rui, then asked with a smile,""I heard from Li Yan that you are also from Zhao County. Do your ancestors have any relationship with General Han Fei?”
Li Rui knew that in order to flaunt his origin, Li Yuan had deliberately linked his family tree with the Han Dynasty Flying General Li Guang. In fact, that was not the case at all. This old fellow was purely a sinicized Xianbei or a Xianbei Han. In short, he was not a proper Han.
Li Rui also knew that the reason why Li Yuan asked him this question was to build a relationship with him. He also wanted to build a relationship with Li Yuan, but he didn't know the family tree of his host. In fact, he was his host. As a farmer, he probably didn't know the family tree.
Li Rui didn't want to lie, so he told the truth,""I was born in a poor family and can't remember my family tree.”
Li Yuan smiled and nodded. He was very satisfied with Li Rui's answer. As the clan leader of the Li family of Zhao County, Li Yuan naturally knew if there was a person like Li Rui in the family. If Li Rui climbed up the pole and insisted that he was also a descendant of General Fei of the Han Dynasty, he would look down on Li Rui instead.
After laughing, Li Yuan said,"Since we're both from Zhao County and are from the Li family, I'll take advantage of you. Can I address you as my nephew?"”
This was to make it clear that he wanted to rope in Li Rui. Li Rui naturally wouldn't be polite. He took a step forward and bowed to Li Yuan, saying,""Junior Li Rui greets Uncle!"
Li Yuan sat up straight and received Li Rui's full bow. Then, he asked,"Nephew, do you have a name?"
Li Rui chuckled and said,"A child from a poor family, it's good enough to have a name. How can there be words?"”
"Since that's the case, how about I give you one?" Li Yuan smiled.”
Li Rui once again cupped his fists and said,"Uncle, please give me your name."”
Li Yuan pondered for a moment and said,"In my opinion, the word 'broken bamboo' is the best."”
Li Rui knew that Li Yuan meant " unstoppable, unstoppable," but couldn't he come up with a better name? Although he was not very happy, he did not show it on his face. Instead, he smiled and said,"Thank you, Uncle."
After acknowledging his relatives, Li Yuan stood up and walked to Li Rui. He held Li Rui's hand and said with a smile,""Ever since General Han Fei, our Li Clan has been practicing archery. I know a thing or two about archery. I don't want to hear Li Yan say that your archery is much better than mine.”
Li Rui grinned and said,"I was born in poverty. How could I have the money to learn from a master?" To tell you the truth, before yesterday, I didn't even touch the bow…"
"Really?" Li Yuan wasn't the only one who asked this question. Li Yan was also asking this question.
"Of course it's true. How would I dare to lie to Uncle?”Li Rui said sincerely. Of course, he wouldn't tell Li Yuan that he had the system as a cheat.
"Is Po Zhu the reincarnation of General Fei?”Li Yan couldn't help but sigh.
Li Yuan also laughed and said,"It must be, it must be." I didn't expect that one of the Li family's ancestral divine skills would be able to reappear today.”
"Uncle, you flatter me!" Li Rui said modestly. However, he was cursing in his heart,[Don't just talk. Can you give me something practical?] The main mission only had a time limit of three days, and the time limit was already the second day. If you still don't promote me, what am I going to do?
Perhaps he heard Li Rui's criticism, but after Li Yuan laughed, he said,""With your godly archery skills and the fact that you killed an enemy general, you should be given the title of lieutenant. But this old man is only a fifth rank army treasurer, I don't have that much authority. How about you be a colonel for the time being?”
"Thank you, Duke Tang!" Li Rui immediately cupped his fists and said. Why not? Li Rui had already learned from Wu Shi and the others that Li Yuan only had a total of 1,200 men under his command, divided into four regiments and twelve brigades. Almost everyone who could become a captain, captain, brigade commander, or lieutenant had their own background. He originally thought that he would only be able to get the position of a gang leader, but he didn't expect to be promoted three levels in a row and become a brigade commander. He could be considered to have a hundred brothers under him.
