Xiao Feng's words woke everyone up, yes, if there is a war, the first to suffer is them, the common people, strong young men will even be conscripted into the army, they still have to fight, and they can't avoid it.

Xiao Feng continued: "If you don't want to, you can go down the mountain, I won't stop you, but if you are willing to follow me, you will definitely teach you in the future, so that everyone has the power to protect themselves, and on the premise of protecting themselves, they will protect others." ”

"Soldiers are also formed by ordinary people like you, they can do things to protect their families and defend the country, and they are loved, why can't we do it? Can we only be bandits who are unsightly and reviled by others? Do you think so? ”

Everyone's emotions were completely mobilized by Xiao Feng, every good man has his own retribution and heroic dreams in his heart, and they also want to become respected and loved people, instead of struggling for survival and being scolded, and now Xiao Feng is willing to lead them and even teach them skills, this is their opportunity.

Instead of being conscripted and sent away by conscription and sent to death to be cannon fodder in vain, it is better to follow Xiao Feng now to learn skills and do things for the people, which is valuable and meaningful.

One couldn't help but say, "I—I don't want to be a bandit!" Because of the war, my family died, in order to survive, I had to go up the mountain to become a bandit, I was forced to be helpless, but I don't want my children and grandchildren to be unable to hold their heads up for the rest of their lives! ”

"That's right! I am also an orphan, my parents died at the hands of the enemy, and many of you here are displaced and homeless, do you still want to see such an unfortunate thing happen? Anyway, I don't want to see it again, I want to learn skills, I want to protect my family, Boss Xiao, I want to follow you! ”

"A dignified man is spineless for food, but it is better to fight for the people and for ourselves! I don't want to be a bandit, I want to protect the people with Boss Xiao and do a respectable good deed! ”

Everyone is a man with strong blood, one person takes the lead, and the others naturally don't want to be left behind, and they all say that they want to follow Xiao Feng and them to do big things.

Hearing these words, Song Yuan was a little relieved, and the blood that had been silent for a long time in his heart boiled again, he waved his hand, and everyone quieted down.

He said loudly: "Don't hide it from everyone, in the lower Song Yuan, it was the Song Dutong who once followed under General Xiao, because the general died, and he was also dismissed in the lower part, I used to fight bloodily to protect the people, and I was confused for a few years, and now the troubled times are coming, and I have to stand up." ”

"Seeing everyone so enthusiastic, it reminds me of the days when I used to fight with my brothers, not only do we not be bandits, I want to take everyone to be a rebel, Your Majesty does not protect us, we will protect ourselves, are you right!"

Xiao Feng glanced at him in surprise, these words are not in the arrangement, this guy, how can he be stronger than me.

He showed helplessness, and did not blame Song Yuan for revealing his identity, whether he said his identity, it would be easier for everyone to identify with this rebel army, and if he became famous in the future, those former brothers could also be found.

As for his identity, if it is exposed, it will be exposed, there are pros and cons.

Someone found the key and couldn't help but say: "You are Song Dutong?" You said that Boss Xiao is your boss, and his surname is Xiao, so Boss Xiao shouldn't be General Xiao, right? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone gasped, and their faces were shocked, and their mouths were so big that they could stuff an egg.

Hearing this, Song Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he seemed to have said something wrong, he looked at Xiao Feng with a little weakness, and saw that his face was calm, and his heart calmed down a little.

The two of them didn't speak, but the others couldn't help but step forward one by one and take a closer look at Xiao Feng, all of them were like little fans.

Song Yuan cleared his throat and said, "You forgot, General Xiao has died a long time ago, this is the news announced by His Majesty, is it possible that Your Majesty will deceive everyone?" ”

"Who is Boss Xiao?"

"There are many generals under the general, and Boss Xiao is one of them, and I was a soldier under him before, so I said that he was my boss." Song Yuan made up nonsense.

He thought to himself, anyway, everyone doesn't know what positions are in the army, and they can be fooled by making it up casually.

Everyone was a little disappointed, thinking that it would be good if General Xiao was still alive, with him, Chengqi would be stable and peaceful, and they would not be attacked by the war, but it was a pity that the hero died early.

Song Yuan knew that General Xiao's status in the hearts of the people was very lofty, and if he confessed Xiao Feng's identity, the people would certainly support Xiao Feng, and more and more people would follow, but after all, there were still risks.

They don't have the strength now, once these ordinary people encounter a serious army, it will definitely be a fiasco, they can't confront a country now, so Xiao Feng's true identity can't be exposed yet.

Xiao Feng saw him say this, and he didn't stop it, now is indeed not the best time to reveal his true identity, and these people are not deliberately completely trustworthy, having Song Yuan's identity can at least make the eldest sister feel more at ease.

Song Yuan saw that everyone's morale was a little low, and said: "Although General Xiao is dead, his belief is still alive in our hearts, I and Xiao Laohui will uphold the general's belief and continue to guard everyone, are you willing to follow us?" ”

"Yes!"

"We do!"

The crowd spoke, and those who were willing were in the majority, and only a very small number of people did not speak, and they did not force it, it was all voluntary.

Song Yuan nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay, if you are willing, you will stay, if you are unwilling, we will not force you, you can go down the mountain at any time, if you are not willing to follow us now, please stand up." ”

The crowd looked at each other, and none of them dared to take the lead in standing up, because they were afraid of being looked down upon and blamed.

"Fear is human nature, no one will blame you, this is your way, it is up to you to decide, become a rebel, not only have to face danger, because each other does not recognize each other, and even will be purged by the imperial court, you can choose for yourself now." Xiao Feng said lightly.

After a few seconds, a thin man stood out from the crowd with his head bowed, and everyone was talking, of course, he himself was not feeling well.

He lowered his head and said, "Yes, I'm sorry, I still have relatives at home who need me to take care of ......"

"What we are doing is also an act of protecting our loved ones." Someone complained.

Song Yuan shook his head, "Whether it's protection or care, it's all right, fighting a war requires people to stand in front, and it also needs people to guard the rear, if you want to stand up, we will teach you skills, if you want to be an ordinary person, you are also the person we want to protect, how to choose, it's up to you to decide." ”

Some people took the lead, and then they all came out one by one, but the number of people was less than a quarter of the total number of people, and there were so many people who were willing to stay, Xiao Feng and they were already very satisfied.
