"Oh, is it true?" The officer's eyes showed a look of astonishment as he walked to Ye Shikai's side, carefully sizing up the young man.
"I dare not lie, he repelled the robbers, and I was merely leading people to catch them. The villagers of Shangshui Village can all testify." Shangguan Jian seemed to intentionally recommend Ye Shikai to his superior, which was quite considerate.
"Raise your head." The officer ordered, and Ye Shikai then stood up.
"Hmm, indeed quite spirited. If well-cultivated, he is sure to be a pillar of the empire." The officer slowly turned his head, pointing at Ye Shikai, and looked at Shangguan Jian, "What is this person's position now?"
"Just a soldier under my command."
"Since he is a young hero, he should be promoted. From now on, he shall be a Centurion, with the rank of Shang Zao." The officer said in front of everyone, "Oh, and Shangguan, I've already reported to the Prefectural Governor, and you are promoted to Hundred Generals."
