"Your subjects thank Madame," the two men chorused, kneeling before me.
I handed them their decrees as their Deputy Commander, congratulating them on their promotion.
In order to handle the situation in Ping He Prefecture, Zheng and I decided to promote two people to man the Gold Squad.
Since Yi Liang and Nian Qu didn't even entertain the idea of staying in Ping He, there would be no Commander or General left in-charge of the Gold Squad.
Yi Liang was the obvious choice, but he had kneeled before Zheng and pleaded to follow him when the Emperor's decree had been read out three days prior.
Thus, it was only right to find people we could trust to watch over our home after the year at Chang Jie was over.
"General He Lin Feng, Lieutenant Shen Yong Shi, Ping He Prefecture is now in your hands. There won't be another Commander taking over until we return. Work with the other four squadrons to keep the civilians safe."
