Chapter 259 – Sudden Promotion of Sun Jian
A messenger walked into the military camp of Sun Jian in the county. He dressed in an official green robe, but he was treated as if he was a royal eunuch.
"Sun Jian of Xiapi, accept the royal mandate of Heaven!"
Without confirming the identity of Sun Jian, the green robe messenger bellowed.
Sun Fang, Li Jing, and Huang Gai frowned upon seeing the man, wondering what this new empress was planning for them.
Huang Gai pretended to be Sun Jian. He knelt down and cupped his fist, "I'm Sun Jian of Xiapi! May the Empress live a long and prosper life!"
The messenger nodded, "Good! Sun Jian of Xiapi, you've contributed greatly for eliminating the bandit lord Zhang Yan. We have heard about your bravery and your leadership, and we judged that you are wasting your talent as a commander under a noble family!"
