In no time at all, news of Xu Yi becoming a centurion spread throughout the entire village.
Not only the village, but even the town knew about it.
However, only the town's garrison knew about it.
"Damn it, I patrol so hard every day, and someone else just picked up this captain's hat."

At the guards' quarters, a man cursed and then picked up a wine jug from the table and took a big gulp.
This man is Qian Dayong, the deputy commander of the garrison, a position he held for five years.
I thought that was the end of it, but then the commander was promoted, and the position suddenly became vacant.
Based on seniority, Qian Dayong is the most suitable person to be a commander.
After the commander was transferred, he did indeed adopt the demeanor of a commander, taking charge of everything and trying to do something to impress his superiors.
However, I just received inside information today that the person in charge of Qian Zong has already been chosen, and it has nothing to do with Qian Dayong.
Qian Daqi was so brave that he didn't even have to be on duty today, and just found someone to patrol for him.
Then he made a few friends with the guards, and they're drinking now.
The guard next to him also chimed in with curses, "Our Brother Dayong is so diligent and senior, why should someone else get it?"
"Yeah, I heard he's just a country bumpkin who came back from the army. What does a greenhorn like him know?"

"To be honest, the higher-ups are really confused. How can that country bumpkin compare to our Brother Dayong?"
"If you ask me, we should go and make a scene at the higher-ups. I'm not going to stand up to that country bumpkin."
Listening to their cursing, Qian Dayong took a big gulp of wine from the flask, feeling bitter.
He's not only furious, but also feels incredibly ashamed.
I initially thought the position of Thousand General was rightfully mine, and several people who flattered him even called him Thousand General in private.
Although he said it was unreasonable to shout like that, only he knew how happy he was inside.
The title of "deputy" has finally been dropped after so many years.
But this situation is even more shameful and embarrassing than having the title of "Deputy" hanging over his head.
The most important thing is that he unintentionally or intentionally revealed his position as a centurion to his father-in-law after he got drunk last time.
His family background was already lower than his wife's, so revealing this made him feel quite proud.

But now all of this has become embarrassing for him. He can even imagine how his father-in-law's family will react when he goes home and tells them about it.
The thought of all this made Qian Dayong unable to suppress his anger, and he felt that the wine in his mouth was more bitter than bitter herbs.
As he was drinking, he suddenly threw the wine jug to the ground, his face turning bright red with anger.
"Brother Dayong..."
The people talking nearby were startled and looked at him helplessly.
Qian Dayong frowned deeply. "I'm just angry. I overestimated myself."
Otherwise, we wouldn't be in this predicament where we're stuck in a limbo, unable to move forward or backward.
"Brother Dayong, don't say that, this isn't your fault."
These men were all guards who were close to Qian Dayong, and they were hoping that Qian Dayong would give them a promotion after he went up the ranks.
Therefore, he felt a deep-seated aversion to that country bumpkin he had never met before.

“Brother Dayong, don’t be sad. That kid doesn’t know anything. With us brothers here, we won’t let him get away with it.”
The group exchanged glances. They had been guards for several years and were convinced that a country bumpkin couldn't handle it.
Qian Dayong clenched his fists, but still said, "Brothers, don't be impulsive. The appointment documents have already been sent over."
“Since that person was able to become a commander, he must have some skills. I, Qian Dayong, am ashamed to admit that I am not as good as him.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the others felt sorry for him. "It's not about feeling inferior. We've all seen what Brother Dayong has done."
"I don't think any of us guards would be satisfied with making that kind of kid a captain."
“I don’t care about others, but if that kid comes, I definitely won’t listen to him.”
"Yes, if he tells me to go east, I'll go west. What can he do to me?"
"If I yell at him a few times, that kid might be so scared that he'll cry and want to go back to the countryside to cry to his mother."
Qian Dayong took another swig of his drink without saying a word, and only stood up after everyone had finished talking.

"Brothers, I'm so glad I have brothers like you in my life."
"Let whoever wants to be the commander-in-chief take the job."
"Being a deputy commander is fine too. Although it's not as good as being a commander, if any of you brothers ever need my help, just come to me."
These heartfelt words immediately resonated with the men, who all stood up.
"Brother Dayong, we only recognize you as our commander, we don't recognize anyone else."
"Don't worry, leave this country bumpkin to us, we'll get rid of him sooner or later."
"We are convinced by your leadership; no one else can be a good commander like you."
The drinking party ended as it was getting dark, with everyone quite drunk except for Qian Dayong, who was still a little more sober.
He only returned to his own room after escorting each person into their house.
"Damn it."

After closing the door, Qian Dayong finally couldn't hold back any longer. He pushed the table with both hands, knocking all the wine pots and dishes to the ground.
"Deputy Commander, Deputy Commander, your wife is here to see you." The shouts from outside the door suddenly snapped Qian Dayong out of his daze.
He quickly adjusted his expression, pushed the door open a crack, and used his body to completely hide the mess inside the room.
"Okay, thanks bro, I'll be right there." He smiled broadly, showing no sign that he had just smashed things and lost his temper.
After the man left, Qian Dayong retreated back into the house. The moment he closed the door, his face turned extremely sour.
"Qian Dayong, why did it take you so long to come out?" Cui Ruhua asked in an unfriendly tone after waiting for a while at the gate.
"A few brothers were eating in my room, so it only took them a little while," Qian Dayong said kindly.
Cui Ruhua leaned closer and sniffed, her brows furrowing. "Drunk again?"
"Well, men can't just eat, so I had a few sips of wine with them."
As soon as Qian Dayong finished speaking, Cui Ruhua glared at him and said, "If you delay going home for dinner, I won't let you off the hook."

"It won't be delayed, it won't be delayed." Qian Dayong said as he drove the carriage over from the side.
Then, bending slightly, Cui Ruhua reached out and supported herself on his shoulder, using his strength to get into the carriage.
After Cui Ruhua finished, Qian Dayong sat on the carriage shaft and asked, "Have the children all gone to their parents' place?"
"Yes, Dad said he'll pick the child up today, so we don't have to make the trip."
"By the way, have you prepared the birth gift for Dad?"
Cui Ruhua peeked out from behind the carriage curtain and asked.
"Everything is ready, so don't worry. I had someone bring this birthday gift back from the capital, and I'm sure Dad will like it."
Upon hearing this answer, Cui Ruhua pursed her lips. "That would be best. This time, we can't be worse than others."
"You've been promoted again, and you can buy Dad a nice birthday present. Dad's so happy, I wonder how much money he'll give us this time."
The Cui family has two daughters but no sons, and they are a business with some wealth.

This little bit of family wealth will be divided between the two daughters, and now everyone is trying to get the first share and get more money.
Cui Ruhua was the eldest daughter, and she had a younger sister named Cui Siyu. The man Cui Siyu married was not as good as Cui Ruhua.
However, the second son and his wife were extremely smooth in their words and actions, showering Old Man Cui with flattering words.
So it seems that Cui Siyu has more face at home and is more favored by her father.
Cui Ruhua naturally wouldn't allow it, because if she did, the family's wealth would fall more into her hands.
She was still racking her brains trying to find a solution to this problem when Qian Dayong was promoted, and she felt that the problem was solved immediately.
Qian Dayong is a leader, after all. Compared to her brother-in-law who only knows how to talk, he has a lot more face.
"By the way, Dayong, when will your appointment letters come through?"
"When the time comes, I'll bring it over to show my parents and make them happy."
Besides, Cui Ruhua naturally wanted to show off in front of her second sister.

Qian Dayong's expression immediately changed, and he glanced at the excited Cui Ruhua.
"I am not the commander-in-chief."
