"A change in personnel?"
Everyone in the hall stirred when they heard this. Everyone looked at Bo Yue with a serious expression, then at Xiang Baigong. They realized that Vice Director-General Xiang also had a heavy heart.
Everyone understood after a moment's thought. A change in personnel that could make the Domain Chief personally visit was definitely not at the level of a Grand Commander. It had to be at least a Vice Commander or above. And if it was a change in Vice Commander, it was unlikely that the Domain Chief would make a personal visit. He could just summon the person to the Big Dipper Army and have a talk. With the Grand Commander keeping things under control, nothing would go wrong. Hence, it was more likely that the Black Dragon Division would be changing its Head.
In other words, one of the two Vice Commanders would most likely be promoted to become the new Head of the Black Dragon Division.
Who would it be …? Everyone's hearts began to race. Their gazes constantly shifted between the two Vice Commanders. If there was a change in their positions, it could lead to a series of changes.
From the two Vice Presidents' lack of confidence, it could be seen that this matter might be too sudden. It was obvious that the two Vice Presidents were not mentally prepared at all. If they had known earlier, they would definitely have mobilized their superiors. It was unknown how they would have mobilized their superiors, but they would definitely have sought the support of their subordinates. At least, they would not have let everyone know about it.
Miao Yi couldn't help but glance at Zhan Ruyi standing opposite him. He was the only one here who knew that Zhan Ruyi had done a great deed in the phantom city. Could this woman be directly promoted to Head of the Black Dragon Division?
He felt that it was highly possible. Things like meritorious deeds depended on how important they were. To put it bluntly, it depended on how important they were to the higher-ups. They were both risking their lives. Going out to exterminate bandits and fight to the death could not compare to doing something meaningful to the higher-ups. Even the slightest bit of it would be a great reward for them.
Zhan Ruyi seemed to realize that Miao Yi was sneaking glances at her. She glanced over and met Miao Yi's gaze, then continued to stand there with her head lowered, as though she was at ease. In fact, she also faintly felt that this change in personnel meant that she was going to be promoted. She also knew that the contribution she had made this time was not something that ordinary fighting and killing could compare to. This was something that the Sky Emperor was personally watching behind the scenes. As long as the Sky Emperor nodded his head, As long as the Celestial Emperor nodded, it would not be an exaggeration to be promoted to a Grand Commander.
The more they thought about it, the more they felt that it was possible. They had both gone to the Ghost City to take the same risk. It was just a matter of priority, but their fates were very likely to be completely different. Miao Yi was already cursing in his heart. Now that this woman had become his direct superior, he didn't know what kind of tricks she would come up with to torment him. Moreover, he had offended this superior to death. Why was his life so bitter!
Everyone in the hall had their own thoughts.
After waiting for a while, Mayor Nie Wuxiao accompanied Lord Yu Zhongzhen out of the back hall. Behind them were several men from the Big Dipper Army.
Yu Zhongzhen sat on the main seat, Nie Wuxiao stood beside her, and the others stood on the side of the stairs to listen.
The people below hurriedly stood neatly and saluted in unison, "Greetings, Lord Lieutenant."
Yu Zhongzhen raised his hand, gesturing for them to dispense with the formalities. He swept his gaze across the crowd below, first stopping at Miao Yi's face, then finally at Zhan Ruyi's. There seemed to be an indescribably strange look in his eyes. After pondering for a while, he lightly said, "All of you have worked hard for the Big Dipper Army all these years, even if you may not have made meritorious contributions. Nie Wuxiao has been the commander of the Black Dragon Division for many years, and he has done his duty diligently. I have spoken with Mayor Nie just now, and we are preparing to transfer him out of the Black Dragon Division. It can't be considered a promotion, just another appointment. "
The people standing below immediately exchanged glances. You look at me, I look at you. Some of the thoughts in their hearts were basically written on their faces. As expected!
If Nie Wuxiao was transferred, then who would take the position of Mayor? Bo Yue and Xiang Baigong looked at Yu Zhongzhen eagerly. Their expressions were one of nervousness and anticipation.
Looking at everyone's reaction, Yu Zhongzhen continued, "I know what everyone is concerned about. You must be concerned about who will take the position of Black Dragon Division's Mayor. I also climbed up from the bottom. I understand everyone's feelings! However, everyone should be clear about the rules of the Left Military Supervisor. Qualifications, cultivation, strength, and ability are all part of the criteria. However, the most important thing is still the military achievements. There is no reward for no merit, and there is a reward for meritorious service. If we can't do this, who will risk their lives to kill the enemy in the future? Everyone has equal opportunities. Whoever makes a great contribution will be rewarded. No one has anything to say. Isn't that right, everyone? "
"Yes!" Everyone answered in unison.
Yu Zhongzhen nodded and continued, "Previously, the Heavenly Court made a big move at the phantom market. I'm sure everyone has heard about it. The Left and Right Supervisory Guards joined forces to attack, and the battle was fruitful. The reason why they could achieve such a result is because our Big Dipper Army sent a batch of vanguards who risked their lives to set up a trap. It can be said that they made a great contribution! Some of you even fought side by side with the Governor, and the Governor is very impressed! I heard from the Governor that even the Heavenly Emperor praised them time and time again! Someone has brought glory to our Big Dipper Army! "
"Phantom market …"
Everyone was in an uproar. They didn't expect such a big incident at the phantom market to be related to the Black Dragon Division. Someone even fought side by side with the Governor, and even the Heavenly Emperor praised them. This was practically a promotion. Who was it?
It wasn't hard to guess who it was. If the Black Dragon Division's troops were stationed separately, they might not have been able to guess. Now that everyone was stationed in the same place, everyone knew who was there and who wasn't. In that instant, everyone turned to look at Miao Yi and Zhan Ruyi, who were standing at the back. Only these two had disappeared. Was it them?
As expected, they were going to be promoted because of the incident at the phantom market! Miao Yi sighed inwardly, then turned to look at Zhan Ruyi.
Because of his reaction, everyone's gaze also fell on Zhan Ruyi.
Zhan Ruyi lowered his head, acting as if nothing had happened. However, his palms were a little sweaty, and he was nervous and excited. He tried his best to not appear too nervous.
The two Vice Governors, Xiang Baigong and Bo Yue, wailed in their hearts. 'It's over! My dream is shattered! '
The Governor had already said this much. How could the two of them not know what he meant? The two of them hadn't gone anywhere recently, let alone caused such a big commotion at the phantom market. The position of Governor was not fated with them anymore!
Yu Zhongzhen continued, "I'm sure everyone wants to know who it is? Who is it? Come out yourself, Niu Youde! "
Zhan Ruyi abruptly raised his head, his bright eyes staring at Yu Zhongzhen in disbelief. He thought he had misheard, so he slowly turned back to look at Miao Yi.
Everyone thought they had misheard as well. Their gazes all shifted to Miao Yi. They had been misled by Miao Yi's reaction earlier.
"..." Miao Yi also thought he had misheard. He froze on the spot, then pointed at his own nose and said in disbelief, "Me?"
He had been following Zhan Ruyi around the phantom market all this time, and had been used by Zhan Ruyi as a tool. He didn't think it was possible!
Yu Zhongzhen calmly said, "Niu Youde, listen up!"
This time, even those with hearing impairments could hear it clearly. Miao Yi was stunned for a moment, then braced himself and stepped forward, cupping his fists and saying, "Here I am!"
Yu Zhongzhen solemnly announced, "Niu Youde saw through the enemy's trap at the crucial moment and reacted accordingly, preventing the Black Tiger Banner and Blue Tiger Banner's forces from being completely annihilated. He managed to salvage the situation against the Heavenly Court in a timely manner, and contributed greatly to the Heavenly Court's subsequent counterattack. He is hereby rewarded! Great Commander of the Black Tiger Banner, Niu Youde, is promoted to Head Commander of the Black Dragon Division, and promoted to Second Segment Purple Armored High General. He will be handed over immediately! "
"Ah …" Miao Yi was dumbfounded on the spot. He didn't even know what he had done to get promoted. He was a little confused and couldn't wrap his head around it.
The group of Commanders, on the other hand, was in an uproar. Their eyes were filled with envy. Not only had he been promoted by two ranks, directly skipping the position of Deputy Commander to Commander, even his rank had jumped by two ranks, from a Six Segment General to a Two Segment General. This was a generous reward!
Xiang Baigong and Bo Yue's expressions were downcast.
Zhan Ruyi was also a little confused. He stared blankly at Miao Yi, a little confused. This bastard had almost returned right after him. What had he done in between? Yu Zhongzhen made it sound like Miao Yi was quite amazing, and had contributed much more than him. What was going on?
She was a little regretful that she had come back so early. If she had known earlier, she would have stayed behind to take a look. She wouldn't have left so early.
Yu Zhongzhen raised her brows and said, "What? You don't like it?"
"Uh …" Miao Yi regained his senses. Only an idiot wouldn't be happy about being promoted and getting rich. He quickly cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Commander!"
Yu Zhongzhen tilted her head, and the entourage beside her immediately took out the Two Segment General's armor and official documents and handed them over to Miao Yi.
"Niu Youde, there will be a new mission for the Black Dragon Division. Hurry up and hand it over to your superiors. That will be all!" Yu Zhongzhen slapped the armrest and stood up. She then turned around and led the group of people to the back.
"Farewell, Commander!" The group of people cupped their fists and bowed.
Miao Yi was still holding a pile of things in his hands, and was still thinking about what had happened. Suddenly, the people around him bowed and said, "Greetings, Commander!"
Bo Yue and Xiang Baigong had complicated expressions on their faces. They were mostly disappointed. Never in their wildest dreams did they think that Miao Yi, who had only been here for a few years, would suddenly become their superior. Two ranks had become their superior, and the two of them couldn't react in time.
The Commanders present were also caught off guard. In the past, regardless of whether they looked up to Miao Yi or looked down on him, they each led a different banner. They rarely met each other, so they felt that Miao Yi wasn't a threat to them and wouldn't become their competitor. That was why they were still able to get along with each other. Who would've thought that Miao Yi wouldn't even give them the chance to be their competitor, and would immediately jump to a higher position?
It was a bitter feeling. Zhan Ruyi was probably the most disappointed one. She watched helplessly as Yu Zhongzhen disappeared. She thought that after Miao Yi had been rewarded, it would be her turn next. Who would've thought that the Commander wouldn't even mention her, and directly ignored her contributions? What kind of situation was this?! Didn't they say that contributions would be rewarded?
"Everyone, please go back first! If there's anything else, let me sort out the current situation first. "
After Miao Yi dismissed the group of people, he entered the rear hall and went to the backyard. There, he bumped into Nie Wuxiao, who was waiting for him with his hands behind his back.
Nie Wuxiao seemed to have known that Miao Yi was coming. True to his name, he usually didn't smile much, but this time, he had a slight smile on his face. He seemed to be teasing Miao Yi as he said, "Congratulations, Commander Niu, on your promotion to Commander."
