Liu Wei went up and helped them up.

Seeing that the child was cute, he casually handed over the jade pendant from his waist!

"No, no, you mustn't!"

Li Su and the old woman hurriedly declined.

Liu Wei, with a stern face, said it was a reward given to Li Su for his great service.

The old woman and her family performed another round of three bows and nine kowtows, which surprised Li Su.

He only sold fish and led the way, but he didn't achieve anything!

Just as he was about to ask for clarification, the old woman started chatting with Liu Wei!

It turns out that Li Su's mother was actually a lady from a prominent family in Jiuyuan City.

After marrying Li Su's father and learning that Li's ancestors were actually the Flying General Li Guang, she was filled with many thoughts.

Later, taking advantage of the withdrawal of the Han army and officials from the four commanderies of Yunzhong, the Xiongnu expanded from Meiji and sent out cavalry to seize territory in all directions.

In less than a few decades, the four counties of Yunzhong, which were no less prosperous than those in the Central Plains, were turned into places for the Xiongnu to graze their sheep.

The Han Chinese who remained here became the lowest class of people, even worse off than the Xianbei, Qiang, Di, and Jie people.

Left with no other choice, Li Su's parents led their family away from Jiuyuan and fled to the shores of Daihai.

During this time, Li Su's father died of illness, leaving only these few women who made a living by fishing and selling fish in Daihai Lake.

Liu Wei reassured him gently, "Don't worry, old man. I've come here to bring these four prefectures of Yunzhong back under the administration of the Han people!"

"Those Huns, I will either subdue them or drive them out!"

"Lord Marquis, you are truly a great hero!"

"Su'er, come here!"

The old woman was extremely excited and suddenly got up and asked Li Su to dig up her father's grave.

Li Su was shocked, while Liu Wei and the others were puzzled.

The old woman persisted.

With the help of Xue Rengui, Liu Du, and others, a box was eventually dug out from beside Li Su's father's grave.

Upon opening it, they found a long spear and a powerful bow!

"Su'er, these are the weapons passed down through our Li family. Take them and follow the Marquis to kill the Xiongnu and make a name for yourself!"

Having already held Liu Wei in high esteem, Li Su now felt as if the bloodline of the Flying General had awakened, now that his mother's command was at stake.

He took the bow and spear, knelt before Liu Wei, and acknowledged him as his lord!

"Hahaha!"

Liu Wei was overjoyed!

On the way here, he had Xue Rengui observe Li Su.

Although this person currently makes a living by fishing, he possesses the talent of a military general.

With proper guidance and training, he can definitely grow into a brave and capable soldier!

Now, led by his mother, he has pledged allegiance to Liu Wei and become his sworn brother.

Liu Wei has gained another loyal and devoted subordinate!

"I hereby appoint you as Deputy Commandant, to serve by my side! Learn from Commandant Xue in your spare time!"

Li Su rose to express his gratitude, and then greeted Xue Rengui, Liu Du, and others.

When he learned that Liu Du was actually Budugen, the Xianbei leader from Yehuling, he was extremely shocked and had even greater respect for Liu Wei.

"Your mother is so righteous and loyal to her country, she is truly admirable. May I ask her name?" Liu Wei asked.

"My lord, my mother is a young lady from the Lü family of Jiuyuan!"

"After fleeing to Daihai, I lost contact with the Lü family!"

"However, I remember a cousin named Lü Bu, we've been playing together since we were kids!"

What!

Liu Wei was shocked on the spot.
