"Reckless Saber Chen Ping'an has been promoted to Northern Cang Deputy Garrison Commander!?" Feng Chengxiu's face was filled with shock, his eyes flashing with profound astonishment.

The moment he received the news, he had repeatedly verified its authenticity through numerous channels. In the end, the announcement issued throughout Azure Dragon Province Territory by the Azure Dragon Province Town Pacification Office completely confirmed that it was true.

Northern Cang Stronghold stood along the Dragon Peace Trade Route, occupying a strategic choke point. It was one of the Dragon Peace Three Great Strongholds. The forces within were tangled and diverse, with interests from every side intertwined; its complexity far exceeded that of ordinary places.

Northern Cang Stronghold fell directly under the jurisdiction of the Azure Dragon Province Town Pacification Office. It was a special-case institution, ranked a level above ordinary counties. Though the Northern Cang Deputy Garrison Commander was nominally a deputy post, it was unquestionably at the Brigade Commander level. Furthermore, due to the institution's special nature, the Northern Cang Deputy Garrison Commander ranked faintly half a step above an ordinary Brigade Commander.

From a certain perspective, Reckless Saber Chen Ping'an's promotion could be considered a rise of one and a half ranks. After his promotion, he would stand a head above the likes of Fan Zhengheng.

"A Deputy Garrison Commander not yet twenty-three." Wu Dazhen's face was full of shock, the astonishment in his eyes refusing to fade. "At such an age, he has already reached this position. Looking across the entirety of Azure Dragon Province Territory, there may not be more than a few like him. And if we consider Reckless Saber Chen Ping'an's family background, then..."

Wu Dazhen did not finish his sentence, but Feng Chengxiu understood his meaning with perfect clarity.
