"Hello, sir!" Li Gangzheng and the guards saluted.
"Brother Li, you and I are of the same rank. There's no need for such a formal salute." Wang Ye smiled as he approached his 'sponsor'.
When he first met General Xu, he was Brother Li's distant nephew.
Li Gangzheng was momentarily stunned before realizing it. "Wang Ye! D*mn, you've made something of yourself!"
Li Gangzheng was delighted. He opened his arms and gave Wang Ye a hearty hug, proudly shouting to his soldiers, "See that? This is my brother, Wang Ye, appointed as an ensign by Senior General Ke!"
All the soldiers looked at him with respect.
Wang Ye's achievements had already circulated throughout the encampment, bringing great prestige to the Xu Wolf Guard and the Third Army!
Such tales of rising from the grassroots had always been the most popular.
"Isn't he the distant nephew... Sir, how did you become brothers?" a soldier asked in surprise.
