The fear of being close to home has existed since ancient times.
After Xu Yunyan and his group quickly approached the village in front of them, Xu Yunyan finally managed to deal with the discomfort in his eyes and then led the team forward to the front of the village.
When the scene that vaguely appeared in his mind many times in his sleep appeared in front of his eyes again, Xu Yunyan did not express too much emotion.
Things have changed and people have changed, and we can no longer return to the original days.
Regardless of whether he recognized them in his memory, they have all disappeared now. Even if he did, he probably wouldn't recognize himself, right?
Who made me the stupid son of the Xu family in the first place?
Just when Xu Yunyan was laughing self-deprecatingly, suddenly the door of the courtyard where his childhood friends lived opened with a creak.
A young man came out with crutches. His originally neat body looked so inappropriate because of the crutches and the missing leg.
The moment this man came out, Xu Yunyan couldn't help but be stunned.
The face was so familiar. Although it was extremely thin, it was still somewhat similar to the face he remembered from childhood.
Xu Yunyan was riding on a tall horse, and the man who came out didn't even raise his head as he moved to the side from the entrance of the courtyard. Xu Yunyan looked at him and turned away. I couldn't help shouting on the horse.
"The dog left behind!"
Uneducated people choose names very casually, giving them a nickname in the hope that their children can be well-provided for.
If there was nothing wrong with his legs in front of him, this man would definitely be a good farmer. Suddenly, he heard someone calling his name when he was a child. He couldn't help but be startled. He turned around and looked at the group of people riding on the tall horses. The person immediately fell to his knees with a plop.
"Grandpa, good man, have mercy on me. Grandpa, good man, have mercy on me. I'm not running away, and I'm not going to sue anyone. I'm not going to do anything bad. Grandpa, good man, have mercy on me!"
The sudden movement of Gou Sheng made Xu Yunyan's heart skip a beat.
"What happened to Gou Sheng? It's me! It's my silly boy."
When Xu Yunyan told him that he was a silly boy in the village, Gou Sheng was still trembling and praying.
"Hero, please spare his life, really! I didn't say anything bad about him, let alone say anything about him. I hope he can spare his life."
Gou Sheng seemed to be stimulated and couldn't help but kowtow and howl, hoping that the person in front of him could spare his life.
Xu Yunyan sighed and hurriedly got off his horse.
Following his movements, the soldiers behind him also dismounted uniformly.
They are indeed elite soldiers, even their dismounting movements are so neat and uniform.
After Xu Yunyan dismounted, a soldier next to him hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold the reins of Xu Yunyan's horse. Xu Yunyan nodded to him and then stepped forward, squatting in front of Gou Sheng to support him.
"Gou Sheng, you see clearly, it's me! It's my stupid kid who's back. What's going on with you? Tell me! Who bullied you? Who is the hero you mentioned?"
While Xu Yunyan kept talking to Gou Sheng, Gou Sheng was trembling and still begging for mercy.
Xu Yunyan was so angry that she hugged his shoulders and raised his head.
"You see clearly who I am!"
Following Xu Yunyan's roar, Gou Sheng immediately looked at Xu Yunyan in fear, and did not dare to say anything for a moment. But then he saw that Gou Sheng finally calmed down, and Xu Yunyan looked at him again and said.
"Gou Sheng, it's me! It's my silly boy! I'm back. Why are you like this? Where are your legs?"
When Xu Yunyan was talking, Gou Sheng finally saw the person in front of him clearly.
"You...are you a stupid kid from Mr. Xu's family?"
"it's me!"
Xu Yunyan didn't have any embarrassment, and none of the soldiers around him would laugh at Xu Yunyan.
How could it be because their chief governor, chief protector, and general are stupid? He should be charitable, but in their eyes he is a fool?
Otherwise, he could be called a silly boy?
If they had known that the general they were following was not very bright in the past, and if Xu Yunwen's soul had not traveled through time and space to possess him, it would be a problem whether he would still be alive now.
Gou Sheng in front of him was sure that the person standing in front of him was his childhood playmate. Although his head was not bright, he was recognized as the silly child of Xu Langzhong's family. After Gou Sheng looked at him and cried.
It’s just that I didn’t cry twice and spoke immediately.
"I don't have anything to do. It's because the Turks invaded the border some time ago."
Xu Yunyan was shocked a while ago, but suddenly he was involved in the Turkic invasion. It must have taken several years.
Xu Yunyan looked at Gou Sheng waiting for Gou Sheng's answer. Sure enough, Gou Sheng had been a little limited a while ago.
When Gou Sheng finished speaking, Xu Yunyan knew that this was not the time when he fought against the Turks in Yunzhou. Gou Sheng finally escaped the chaos and returned to his homeland. Living in the courtyard, I encountered wandering Turks, and when I retreated, I was shot with an arrow and my leg couldn't be saved. Is it like this in the end?
After understanding what happened to Gou Sheng, Xu Yunyan patted him on the shoulder.
"Okay, okay, nothing will happen. The Turks have been defeated by us."
Although they only defeated the Turks who brought harm to people like Gou Sheng, but they were able to defeat the Turks of Jieli and Tuli, is it still a matter of time before the remaining Turks under the control of Zhishisi Li will perish?
It must be a matter of time!
After thinking this deeply in Xu Yunyan's heart, he looked at Gou Sheng again.
"Gou Sheng, tell me what you mean by a good man."
At this moment, Gou Sheng's face became a little unnatural again, and he pointed to a slightly better courtyard ahead.
This was something Xu Yunyan didn't know. He didn't expect that there wasn't such a courtyard when he was at home. How long ago did such a courtyard appear? It seems that people here live a good life.
Just when Xu Yunyan was thinking this, Gou Sheng looked at the courtyard in front of him and started talking in front of Xu Yunyan.
"I don't know where this mountain king came from. He fell in love with the woman from Liu Yuanwai's family in front of him. Why does he come here every now and then? After killing Liu Yuanwai, he didn't let go. He also bullied their orphans and widowers. Didn't this happen for a while? Are you misbehaving in Yuan Liu's house?"
Xu Yunyan couldn't help but touch it this time.
"Where did this robber come from? How dare you do such a thing?" But just as Xu Yunyan said this, he looked at Gou Sheng.
"Didn't you report it to the official?"
Gou Sheng shook his head, "Who dares to report to the official? This person is not a good person, that is Liu Heitai's original brother-in-law."
"What?"
But others may not know who Liu Heitai's brother-in-law is, but how could Xu Yunyan not know him?
Zhang Xuanyang didn't expect that he didn't catch Liu Heitai when he defeated him, but he actually dared to act recklessly here.
Xu Yunyan's face was very ugly, and he looked at Gou Sheng and asked.
"The brother-in-law of Liu Heitai you mentioned, the guy who is causing mischief here is Zhang Xuanyang?"
Gou Sheng nodded hurriedly after Xu Yunyan asked.
"Although I don't know who is misbehaving in this courtyard, it seems that his surname is Zhang."
After Gou Sheng said the target's surname was Zhang, Xu Yunyan nodded.
"The surname is Zhang, and he is Liu Heitai's brother-in-law. It can't be anyone else. It's Zhang Xuanyang."
After Xu Yunyan confirmed the identity of the other party, he couldn't help but feel happy.
I never thought that I would be able to make such a contribution to my hometown folks just after I returned to my hometown.
Xu Yunyan looked at Gou Sheng randomly.
"You find a place to hide first. How many people are there? I will take people to deal with them first."
Xu Yunyan casually pointed at the dozen or so burly guards following behind him, and after they heard the terms Liu Hui and his brother-in-law, they immediately drew out the weapons beside them.
Seeing these ten or so people with extraordinary momentum, even though Gou Sheng was a layman watching the excitement and an expert looking at the door, even though Gou Sheng didn't know who the people in front of him were, he still nodded here looking at their elite appearance.
"I believe you will be able to catch all the guys in that group. There are more than a dozen of them."
Hearing this, Xu Yunyan nodded.
It's very simple. Since there are only a dozen people, there is no need to be fickle. But just as Xu Yunyan was about to move forward, Gou Sheng grabbed his arm again.
"Silly boy."
It's just that when he just said this, the guards next to him finally couldn't listen anymore.
"What are you yelling about? This is our Grand Governor."
??????????????????But as soon as I said that Xu Xu Yunyan was the Grand Governor, I felt that I was wrong.
"This is the Protector-General of our Anbei Protectorate, the champion general and champion of the dynasty."
After a guard said Xu Yunyan's name, Xu Yunyan looked at the dog in front of him and smiled.
"These are all false names, don't worry too much."
Gou Sheng really didn't care about Xu Yunyan's identity.
"Silly boy, when did you have so many people following you? Are you stupid? If you become a general and a champion, I will write my name upside down!"
"Leftover dog?"
After Gou Sheng finished speaking, this word flashed through Xu Ta Moyou's mind.
But who is Xu Yunyan? He just patted Gou Sheng on the shoulder playfully.
"Okay, go back quickly. After you go back and burn incense, go and see if you can gather the people in the village. I finally came back to the village, and the folks in the village don't know what happened. , just bring them together to meet."
It was just that when Xu Yunyan burst into tears thinking about seeing fellow villagers, Gou Sheng shook his head.
"It's not necessary. Although there are still some people in the village, they are all outsiders.
Thanks to Mr. Xu's favor, I was the only one who knew you, silly boy. The others either fled to death or were never heard from again. "
Xu Yunyan felt even more uncomfortable at this moment. All the people he knew before were gone, only one was left, and he was in such a state that his life might be affected in the future.
Xu Yunyan felt a little uncomfortable, but the guards beside him did not give Xu Yunyan a chance to feel uncomfortable.
Suddenly a person with quieter ears took a step forward.
"General, there seems to be screams coming from the courtyard ahead."
"What?"
At this moment, Xu Yunyan was not thinking about whether there was anyone who knew him, and then he looked at Gou Sheng and said it again.
"Protect yourself well."
After Xu Yunyan roared and waved his hands and made several gestures, the elite Anbei Army in front of him hurriedly divided into different teams and moved forward quickly.
The courtyard was quickly surrounded by water.
After everything was ready, Xu Yunyan nodded and quickly changed gestures with his hands. After everyone nodded, Xu Yunyan made a three-two-one gesture with his fingers, and at the same time climbed up the wall and entered the courtyard.
