Zhang Yi paused, somewhat puzzled by Lu Chengyuan's sudden question, but still respectfully replied, "Reporting to Your Excellency, it has been five years. I met Your Excellency when I was fifteen years old, and it was at that time that you sent me into the Imperial Guard."
"If it weren't for the Marquis, I'd probably be dead by now, and I wouldn't have become the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards."
Without that, we wouldn't have achieved what we have today.
After Lu Chengyuan was ousted from his position as commander of the Imperial Guard by Xie Jingxuan, he, as the deputy commander, temporarily took control of the Imperial Guard. Although not everyone obeyed his command, there were at least 30,000 men.

He had said that one day he would live in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and now that opportunity has finally come.
He gripped the sword at his waist tightly and walked out of the courtyard.
