When Xue Ruhong and Feng Xiyan heard the soldier's shout, they stopped in their tracks.
Turning to the soldier, Xue Ruhong frowned slightly and scolded him, "Presumptuous! How dare you behave like this in front of the Great General? Have you forgotten the rules?"
The soldier took a few deep breaths to calm himself, then clasped his fists and said, "This subordinate greets the Great General and General Xue."
Feng Xiyan, who was less strict than Xue Ruhong, said calmly, "No need for the formalities. What is going on? Why are you in such a hurry?"
The soldier wiped his sweat and replied, "Reporting to the Great General. This subordinate doesn't know the exact reason, but thousands of men showed up today wanting to enlist. The captain couldn't manage the situation and requested General Xue's presence."
Upon hearing this, Feng Xiyan's eyes lit up. He turned to Xue Ruhong and said, "General Xue, you should go take a look."
