Although Xiao Mu Chen had a strange personality, he was indeed very honest. His words were filled with righteousness, but in Zhou Yan Li's ears, they had a different meaning.

Who was this Xiao Mu Chen? A Sun God! Previously, when he waved his hands, he was already crippled. And it was because the other party showed mercy to him. Now, he had actually ended up with Qingyang! Was this the legendary charm of character?

At this moment, Zhou Yan and Li Shi's gaze towards Xiao Mu Chen had softened by quite a bit, but their hatred had completely disappeared. They did not make a sound and just stared at the green sun with determined eyes.

"Then how do you explain to Junlong in the main hall?" After frowning and pondering for a long time, Qingyang asked.

"Ever since he abandoned us, I no longer viewed him as my lord. Although he should be commanded to serve as cannon fodder to protect my tens of thousands of brothers, he is not worthy to be my lord!" With a cold snort, Zhou Yan's face seemed to be covered in a thin layer of ice, or perhaps he was thinking of the tens of thousands of his brothers that had died on the battlefield, the chill on his face was unmistakable.

"What are your subordinates planning to do now?" Qingyang nodded his head. He naturally understood that it would be difficult for a hot-blooded soldier to not feel discouraged when facing such a selfish general. Therefore, he did not say anything and only asked this question.

"If you are willing to follow me and follow Mister, then bring them away. If you aren't willing, then send some silver taels back. In short, there's no need to work so hard for Junlong." As if he had already planned this beforehand, Zhou Yan said.

"When the general was training earlier, I had already asked the other brothers, and almost everyone is willing to follow Mister." Seeing that Qingyang still had some hesitation on his face, Li Si suddenly called out to him respectfully.

Not only was Qingyang surprised, but even Zhou Yan was a bit surprised. He hadn't expected that Li Si would actually investigate this matter in secret.

"Sir, why don't we go and ask him immediately. Whether he wants to or not, how about we do as I said just now?" Zhou Yan looked at the azure sun and said softly.

"Your body ?" Qingyang frowned as he stared at Zhou Yan. He felt that even though his body was much better now, he was still quite weak. He then asked worriedly.

Feeling warm in his heart, Zhou Yan shook his head and said with a smile: "It's alright, my injuries have already healed quite a bit. Mister, you don't have to worry.

Zhou Yan had steeled his heart to follow Qingyang, and the determination in his eyes was clear. However, if these soldiers were truly willing to follow him, it was a good thing, but how they were going to settle this was a problem. This matter could not be left in a rush, but first, he had to see the will of these soldiers.

"Alright, then we will immediately ask the soldiers about their decision." Qingyang finally nodded his head, and Zhou Yan's face lit up, quickly ordering Li Si to gather all the soldiers in the valley.

"Sir, please." Li Si accepted the order and ran away. Zhou Yan stood up and bowed to lead the way, followed by Qingyang, Xiao Mu Chen who was hanging at the very back. His eyes were filled with admiration as he looked at the Azure Sun in front of him.

Zhou Yan's body had yet to fully recover, but how could a person who cultivated in such a way be weak? Although he was weak, he had the demeanor of a great general, causing Qingyang to sigh in his heart.

It was the first time that Qingyang had seen so many soldiers holding long spears in their hands. Each of them had a sturdy stature and a bright light that was reserved; although their armor was not very neat, and they were also somewhat damaged, an iron-blooded aura instantly gushed forth, causing Qingyang to be shocked in his heart.

"Well, sir?" Seeing the surprise in Qingyang's eyes, Zhou Yan also felt extremely proud.

"Worthy of being called an Iron-Blood Soldier, this aura is definitely not something an ordinary officer can possess." Nodding his head, Qingyang praised.

Only soldiers who had experienced the baptism of blood and fire and climbed out of the piles of corpses time and time again could have such an imposing aura. They were unyielding and unafraid of death, and compared to those who crossed blades all day long, the soldiers who leisurely walked and showed off their might everyday in the prefectures and counties, only such soldiers were the real soldiers.

"The reason why I called everyone here today is because I have something that I want to discuss with many of my brothers." Under Qingyang's instructions, Zhou Yan walked to the front of the soldiers with large strides. His fierce eyes darkened as he said in a clear voice.

However, no one made a sound, they all looked at Zhou Yan with serious expressions, waiting for him to continue.

"I think Mr. Yang Chou doesn't need me to mention it anymore. He knows what we owe him." Pausing for a moment, Zhou Yan continued: "He saved me twice, and the second time he almost died to save me. I, Zhou Yan, will never be able to repay a favor like this."

As the soldiers listened, they turned to look at the smiling and silent Qingyang at the side. Naturally, they also felt admiration for this expert who had helped them.

"And right now, everyone should know about our current situation. I believe that not long in the future, the Nan Rong Royal Family will send an army to annihilate us, and there should be quite a few strong ones among them." With a sudden change in tone, Zhou Yan said in a deep voice: "Nan Rong and Junlong abandoned us and left us, close to 30,000 brothers, to act as cannon fodder and run away by ourselves. Now, we don't even know where they are hiding, I want to ask, if you are willing to follow us, the masters of life and death!"

"I refuse!" He only replied with a single word. However, he shouted out from the mouths of the soldiers without the slightest hesitation. The loud sound also caused Qingyang to be slightly startled.

"It is our honor to see the soldiers die in battle! But it also meant who would die in battle! "For a master like that South Rongjun Junlong, it's not worth it!" Nodding his head in satisfaction, Zhou Yan suddenly turned around, knelt on the ground, and said respectfully: "Mr. Yang Chou has saved me one after the other, I, Zhou Yan, have no way to repay you, so I hereby swear an oath that in my name, I am willing to brandish my blade and ride my horse, and follow by Mister's side!"

Qingyang was startled by Zhou Yan's sudden kneel and wanted to rush forward to help him up, but the thousand soldiers in front of him all knelt down and shouted together: "In my name, I am willing to brandish my blade and drive my horse, and follow beside mister!"

This action caused Qingyang to be at a loss of what to do. He quickly stepped forward to help Zhou Yan up, "General Zhou, please do not do this, please get up and speak."

However, he didn't expect that Zhou Yan would remain motionless, as if his knee was embedded in the ground. Qingyang was worried that Zhou Yan would be injured, so he also exerted a bit of strength, but this time he froze for a moment.

"Whatever, little brat, it's better if you agree to Zhou Yan's request, otherwise they won't do it." Xiao Mu Chen said softly as he looked at Qingyang with a smile in his eyes.

Qingyang had naturally intended to use it for himself since long ago. Previously, he had wanted to use it, but now, everyone was willing to be his subordinate. How could he not be? It was just a moment of panic before he forgot about it.

Nodding his head, Qingyang actually stopped pulling Zhou Yan along and instead walked in front of Zhou Yan. After a moment of silence, he said: "The road ahead of me is destined to be built with countless piles of bones. Do you really not regret?"

At this moment, the aura of a person who was one of the strongest in Qingyang City was being emitted from his body. A faint voice that contained an irresistible dignity.

Qing Yang understood that other than rallying the soldiers' morale, you also wanted to intimidate the soldiers. After all, no matter how good you were, how many people would sincerely believe you? Therefore, at the right time, instead of trying to persuade him, he had to intimidate him.

"I vow to die without regret!" After a breath of time, the entire sky above the WindSoaring Valley echoed with the four words of a thousand people shouting at the same time. It was filled with passion, and the crowd's emotions surged!
