After the Heavenly Master truthfully explained everything he knew, everyone present was in an uproar.
"What? This Heavenly Master is actually a swindler?"
And the old man rushed forward in an instant, "My child, it was grandpa who harmed you and almost sent you to the point of no return. Grandpa is sorry for you."
However, after the old man cried and howled for a while, he reacted instantly and turned around to bow to Xu Yunyan again.
"Thank you very much, Governor. If the Governor hadn't solved such a mystery for us, my father-in-law would have done such a treacherous thing and sent his grandson to the point of no return with his own hands."
Xu Yunyan hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man up, "What did you say, old man? We are fellow villagers in Yunzhou. We must take care of each other. How can we watch our son be harmed by this monster?"
After Xu Yunyan finished speaking, he waved his hand, "Since the Heavenly Master wants to use this method to liberate this young master, then we will also use this method to liberate this Heavenly Master. What do you think?"
Xu Yunyan's proposal was instantly recognized by the villagers, and the Heavenly Master was completely frightened. "Sir, have mercy on me, my lord, have mercy on me. I don't dare to do it anymore. I am obsessed with it. I will never dare to do it again in the future."
The angel said this, and Xu Yunyan laughed, "Hey! This Heavenly Master admits that he is obsessed with ghosts. How about we rid this Heavenly Master of the demons and monsters on his body? Come on! Send the Heavenly Master up, and follow the arrangements of the Heavenly Master first. Light a fire for him."
Soon, a hysterical howl came continuously in the fire. Gradually, as the fire became stronger and stronger, the scream died out.
However, although this scene was terrifying, all the villagers present were not afraid, and they kowtowed and saluted Xu Yunyan.
"Your Excellency is very knowledgeable, and you are worthy of being the Commander-in-Chief."
The old man stepped forward and complimented Xu Yunyan.
"I'm so polite, I just did what I was supposed to do."
After Xu Yunyan finished speaking, he clapped his hands and said, "Brothers, it's time for us to set off on our journey."
Wang Laiyun, who had been by the side all the time, couldn't help but said, "My Lord Governor, aren't we here to recruit soldiers? Why do we have to leave without recruiting soldiers?"
When the old man heard Wang Laiyun's words, he couldn't help but feel happy.
"Sir, you are actually here to recruit soldiers? There happen to be some young men in the village who want to make contributions. I wonder if the Governor can take them away?"
When the old man said this, Xu Yunyan beamed with joy. He did not say anything about recruiting troops but used other people's words to raise the issue, which was even more effective with half the effort.
"Then I'll be bothered by my father-in-law."
After the convoy set off again, more than 20 good guys were added to the team of several hundred people, and Xu Yunyan's mouth was filled with joy.
With this progress, no one can say whether there will be another one or two hundred after reaching the Chinese army camp.
After the convoy solved the supernatural incident in this remote village, it continued on its journey.
Stopping and walking, we passed one village after another. Although some villages were dilapidated and some were quite wealthy, after Xu Yunyan and the others passed by, there were always a few people who came there due to the pressure of life or other purposes. Xu Yunyan's strength has been strengthened in Xu Yunyan's team.
After Xu Yunyan brought the convoy to the Chinese army camp, he looked at the mess of the Chinese army camp, shook his head and sighed.
Look at the team behind you again. This is a strong army, a serious army that can protect the country and the people.
With your appearance, you still want to defend Hebei and compete with the Tang Dynasty for the world. What a dream.
Even if you already know history, even if you don't know how to see it like this, you still know that your climate will not last long, even though you have defeated several encirclement and suppression campaigns by the Tang Army.
After Xu Yunyan came to the Chinese army camp to deliver food and grass, Liu Zan appeared beside Xu Yunyan with a smile.
"Brother Xu, I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect that this time, Brother Xu would personally escort the grain and grass."
Hearing this familiar voice, Xu Yunyan hurriedly turned his head and looked, "Brother Liu, I didn't expect to see Brother Liu here again. It's really disrespectful."
As Xu Yunyan said this, he quietly walked forward, took out a relatively beautiful jade pendant that he had copied from his house and used it as a personal decoration, and stuffed it into Liu Zan's arms.
"Brother Liu, this is just a little bit of my brother's wishes. I hope that Brother Liu won't see anyone outside."
Liu Zan, who originally wanted to get close to Xu Yunyan, suddenly accepted such a gift and laughed happily.
"Brother, I have you. If anything happens in the future, just tell me. Anyone who can help Brother Xu will definitely help Brother Xu."
At this moment, Xu Yunyan's eyes flashed: "Brother Liu, this is what happened. Since His Majesty appointed me as the governor of Yunzhou, I went to Yunzhou and found that the situation in Yunzhou is not optimistic.
With a full attack of five hundred soldiers, how can we defend Yunzhou? Although His Majesty allows me to recruit some soldiers, these soldiers cannot be recruited just by recruiting.
The army has been here for several months, and it's almost time to recruit soldiers. Where else can I recruit soldiers? "
When Liu Zan heard Xu Yunyan crying here that he had no soldiers, Liu Zan, who still wanted to have a good relationship with Xu Yunyan, said it directly.
"This is easy to handle. There should be some old Xus in the wounded barracks who can recover and fight. If it's not enough, brother, I will allocate five hundred soldiers and horses from this food camp to my brothers. How about this?"
Xu Yunyan was happy at this moment, "Thank you very much, Brother Liu. When my brother comes to escort the grain and grass again, I will definitely find more good things on the road to honor Brother Liu."
Liu Zan was also very happy that Xu Yunyan was so successful. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, let's go to see General Liu now. This General Liu misses brother Xu very much. I don't know if General Liu still wants to go." I can help our brothers solve these manpower problems."
After Xu Yunyan paid homage to Liu Shishan in the Chinese army camp, he returned to Yunzhou with two thousand soldiers with satisfaction.
Xu Yunyan felt quite comfortable at this moment. The two thousand men and horses supported by Liu Shishan and Liu Zan, plus the remaining Yunzhou and the dozen he had recruited now, finally had enough for three thousand men.
Although there are not many, compared to before, this is a huge change, not to mention that many of these many soldiers are serious veterans.
However, just when Xu Yunyan was returning to Yunzhou with a happy spring breeze, he met several merchants on the way to the Turkic side to traffic supplies.
The moment the merchants passed by each other, Xu Yunyan heard something they said, which almost frightened Xu Yunyan to the point where one Buddha, Chu Qiao, and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.
"This Turk is really not a toy. Every year before it snows, he always comes to our place to plow the grass."
Hearing this sentence, Xu Yunyan counted the days and found that it was not long before it snowed.
