Zhang Yuan and Wu Qigang walked out of the house and saw that the house was full of villagers.

The old village chief took the lead in stepping forward, looked at Wu Qigang and Zhang Yuan, and then bowed and said: "The benefactor has a great favor to us, and I should have gathered the strength of the whole village to thank the benefactor. ”

As soon as the old village chief finished speaking, six people walked out from each side of his side and stood separately.

Zhang Yuan looked at it, and among these people were teenagers and middle-aged people, and they all stood aside and looked at him with awe.

Don't think about it, the old village chief has already explained, and it depends on Zhang Yuan whether these people can return safely.

After thinking about it, Zhang Yuan smiled slightly, bowed his hand, and said: "You are the people who want to be born and die with me in the future, and I will help each other in the future." ”

As soon as Zhang Yuan's words came out, the old village chief was overjoyed, and the twelve people on both sides of him also hurriedly returned the salute and expressed their certainty.

After a few polite exchanges, under the leadership of Zhang Yuan, a total of thirteen people walked out of the village one after another, and the people of the village stood at the entrance of the village one by one, until they couldn't see the figures of a few people clearly, and then turned around and walked back to the village.

And Zhang Yuan and the thirteen people had just walked out of the village not far away, Zhang Yuan suddenly stopped, and then turned to look at the people who followed behind him.

Everyone also stopped to look at Zhang Yuan, and some people who whispered quietly also shut up.

Zhang Yuan looked at everyone and then said: "I am in trouble here, everything I do now is to repay my kindness, you wait with me, after we enter the Nantian Army, I will find a way to let you return to the village, if you have great ambitions, you can also stay, I will make you glorious and rich, and you don't have to answer in such a hurry now, there is a lot of time for you to think about this way, and before you can return to the village, it is your time to think." ”

As soon as Zhang Yuan's words came out, everyone bowed their heads and whispered.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuan didn't say anything, but looked at a sturdy young man and said, "Brother Ning Yuan, I am not familiar with the road to Nanyan City, and I am still bothering Brother Ning Yuan to lead the way." ”

The sturdy young man who was called Ning Yuan didn't dare to grow big after hearing this, and smiled with his hand: "Okay." ”

After finishing speaking, under the leadership of Ning Yuan, Zhang Yuan and his party of more than a dozen people talked and laughed in the mountains and forests along the way, and along the way, Zhang Yuan slowly talked to these people, and everyone slowly became familiar with them, and then, everyone also slowly had a good impression of Zhang Yuan, after all, they needed to snuggle up to each other in the next few days.

Everyone talked like this and slowly walked in the direction of Nanyancheng, there are mountain springs when they are thirsty, and hunters when they are hungry, they are okay along the way, nothing is too difficult, and Zhang Yuan slowly understands the strengths and weaknesses of everyone, these people will be the dependence of his own army in the south in the future!

This dependence depends on the thoughts that Zhang Yuan thought about a few days ago.

Now he and Fusheng have been separated for a while, and whether Fusheng is safe or not he does not know, he knows all the way, and now he is so small that he can't achieve what he wants, and he came to this Ningzhuang by chance, just in time for the Southern Xinjiang Army to recruit the army, and after careful consideration, he decided to lay down his own piece of the world in the Southern Xinjiang Army, so as to control the situation, so as to resolve the disaster of the siege of Lu Xun in Southern Xinjiang, and Chishui Country itself has a plan, but now the first step in front of him is to start with Nanjiang State, and these people in front of him will be his henchmen！

With such a thought, Zhang Yuan quietly began to think about his next plan, leading everyone to shuttle through the woods, pretending to be a good luck refining body when he had a break, and deliberately playing some bells and whistles, so that these Ningzhuang villagers were stunned and yearning.

In this way, finally at noon on the second day of Zhang Yuan's trial, several young men from Ning Zhuang came to Zhang Yuan's side, quietly watching Zhang Yuan's luck refining body without bothering him, but waiting for Zhang Yuan's luck to finish.

And Zhang Yuan, who was lucky, naturally already knew that these young men from Ningzhuang had come to him, and he was unhurried and lucky, and then his luck was double-fisted, and with a wave of both hands, he knocked down the surrounding woods.

Zhang Yuan deliberately collected his breath after he finished transporting it, then looked at the young men in front of him, and said: "You must practice diligently every day, so that you can retreat in the battle, become famous, and return with a beauty." ”

After listening to this, several people's eyes showed a strange brilliance, and they all looked at each other and saw the fanaticism in each other's eyes, among them, the eldest young man looked at Zhang Yuan under the signal of everyone, took care of his courage, instantly knelt on the ground and hugged his fists, and said: "I admire the method practiced by Master Zhang, and I am here today to learn from the teacher, seek to fight on the battlefield, and make meritorious contributions." ”

After hearing this, Zhang Yuan instantly shook his head and refused: "No, once the method I practiced is taught, it will be reused after entering the barracks, so how can I let you leave the Southern Xinjiang Army and return to the village quickly?"

After listening to Zhang Yuan's words, the others also knelt down one after another, and the surrounding villagers of Ningzhuang also saw the sudden situation here, and they all got up and walked over this side curiously, watching everything that happened.

"Zhang Shi, I and several others are lonely and widowed people, there is no concern in Ningzhuang, my father has long replaced Ningzhuang to go on the expedition to this point and did not return, most of them must have died on the battlefield, even if we can retreat from the southern Xinjiang army to Ningzhuang for daily suffering, the husband is determined in all directions, I have been privately discussed when I was selected as one of the conscriptions, and now I see Zhang Shi is so powerful, I will only have some simple hunting methods, and there is no day to get ahead in the army, and now I am fortunate to have Zhang Shi, I have come to apprentice. The young man at the head said sonorously.

Zhang Yuan saw these people with such affirmative eyes and knew that these people were determined to leave Ningzhuang, that is, in the future, he would find a way to let them return to Ningzhuang, and these people would not leave, after thinking about it, Zhang Yuan nodded.

After seeing Zhang Yuan's order, everyone looked at each other happily, and their joy was very high.

After Zhang Yuan nodded, he looked at the young man led by him and said, "Ning Shou, you have thought about it, if you want to worship me as a teacher, you must first have an unswerving spirit." ”

After hearing this, several people nodded yes and said yes, determined not to give up.

Zhang Yuan snorted coldly after seeing it, his face sank, and said: "If you want to really worship me as a teacher and follow me, once you worship, don't give up, no matter what." ”

As soon as these words came out, several people who were full of confidence turned their heads to look at each other, and the young and strong man named Ning Shou never flinched in his eyes, and was interrupted by Zhang Yuan waving his hand when he was about to say something after listening to Zhang Yuan's words.

After Zhang Yuan looked at everyone, he said: "Don't be in a hurry to answer, just give me an answer when we sleep out tonight, if you don't want to, it doesn't matter, my promise has always been effective, if you want to complete the will in your heart, then you must first promise me, once you want to start, there is no way back, if you have other worries in your heart, give up the idea, and wait for the time to return to Ningzhuang." ”

Zhang Yuan's last sentence deliberately amplified his voice, so that the surrounding Ningzhuang villagers also heard it, and couldn't help but make everyone start to think deeply.

Seeing that everyone was not talking, Zhang Yuan got up and continued to practice his physical skills, deliberately increasing his power, which became a stark contrast to the villagers of Ningzhuang who were silent on the side.

After a while, Zhang Yuan waited for everyone to finish repairing, and then set off again under the leadership of Ning Yuan.

Few of the people along the way were talking, and they were silent, as if they were thinking about something.

And Ning Yuan, who was walking in the front, suddenly glanced back at Zhang Yuan, and then said, "I don't know how long Master Zhang has been practicing?"

Zhang Yuan's face did not change after hearing this, but looked at the people around him and said, "This matter is confidential for the time being, you can ask about some other things." ”

Ning Yuan thought about it again after listening, and then said, "I have observed you for the past two days, and you have to set up a horse for half an hour every day, which is the foundation?"

After listening to this, Zhang Yuan nodded and said: "After finishing the foundation, the most bitter thing is also the foundation method, if the foundation is stable, it will naturally be easy to practice any other method." ”

As soon as these words came out, the people in Ningzhuang who followed behind them pricked up their ears, and none of them were muttering quietly, but listened attentively to Zhang Yuan's words.

"In fact, the art of refining the body is not so terrible, as long as you are willing to endure hardships and practice diligently every day, you can also have a high probability of surviving on the battlefield in the future, if you don't know anything, it will definitely not be easy, and the person who teaches is most afraid that someone will quit during the practice and disturb the method of cultivating the mind and cultivating the mind, if so, it is better not to join. ”

Zhang Yuan's words echoed in everyone's hearts, and a few simple sentences have already explained everything, it depends on whether everyone is willing to want the pain of refining the body that is glorious and rich.

After listening to Zhang Yuan's words, Ning Yuan stopped asking questions, and everyone silently followed behind Ning Yuan and walked forward.

Everyone walked until dusk before stopping, encountered some fierce beasts on the way, Zhang Yuan did not let everyone shoot, his body moved, and when everyone did not see it clearly, he beat a beast back, raised it with one hand, and never let people help him along the way, and held it until he was now repaired before putting down the beast and handing it over to a few villagers in Ningzhuang, and then they began to be busy making a fire and roasting meat.

Everyone gathered around the bonfire, eating the beasts that Zhang Yuan had brought back, and eating with relish.

After Zhang Yuan finished eating, he got up and came behind everyone and continued to start refining his body, and after a while, the young men who were preparing to apprentice during the day slowly walked in front of Zhang Yuan, waiting for Zhang Yuan to finish practicing.

And Zhang Yuan's eyes were not opened, so he asked, "How is it, have you thought about it?"

As soon as these words came out, several people instantly knelt on the ground, and Ning Shou said: "I am determined to follow Master Zhang to learn art!"

Before Ning Shou's words were finished, three more men from Ningzhuang came and knelt down, saying that they wanted to follow Zhang Yuan to learn art, so that seven of the twelve people wanted to follow Zhang Yuan to learn art, and the remaining five people stood by the bonfire and watched here, not knowing what they were thinking in their eyes, and among these five people was Ning Yuan.

And just as Zhang Yuan was about to answer, a few wails suddenly came from a distance, and the silent night field instantly became irritable and restless, and everyone got goosebumps together, got up and looked at the wailing place, and leaned closer together.
