"My lord, something big has happened."

As soon as he returned with Shanjian Village, Li Changgong came running over in a hurry.

Fengyun wondered:

"What's wrong? What's the big deal?"

"A lot of people have come to our village, and they say they're looking for you. They look fierce and vicious, and I'm afraid they might cause trouble. Please go and take a look."

"Where are they? Take me there."

Feng Yun was not surprised at all, he knew that Zhang Yan and the others had arrived.

"It's at Zhang Jiao's place. I'll take you there."

Fengyun didn't need him to lead the way, he just trotted over on his own.

…

"Great and virtuous teacher, you can't just abandon us like this."

"Chu Yan, I can't do anything about this anymore. You should take care of yourselves from now on."

Feng Yun didn't want Zhang Yan to leave when he heard this, so he hurried into the house and said:

"Chu Yan, the Great Sage Master actually wants you to stay here first. Although he doesn't care about the Yellow Turbans, he will still fight for us in the future."

Chu Yan immediately turned to look at Zhang Jiao, wanting to verify the authenticity of Feng Yun's words.

Zhang Jiao laughed and said:

"You don't have to look at me. He is my lord. I will definitely fight for my lord."

"Ah? My Lord? Great Sage Master, you call him my Lord?"

"Yes, my life was saved by the Lord. Isn't it normal for me to serve him?"

Chu Yan was conflicted at the moment. Since the Great Sage Master had joined Qiubai Village, he should have known that something like this would happen.

Feng Yun took advantage of the moment when he was still struggling and said:

"Chu Yan, this matter has no impact on you. If you continue to follow the Great Sage Master, then you can stay. If you waver in your determination to follow him, then just leave. If you have already lost your original faith, then there is no point in staying."

Fengyun's method of provoking is still very useful to Chu Yan at this moment.

"What a joke! Would I still come if I had lost my faith? I just can't bear to see the Great Sage Master submit to someone."

"Haha, there's nothing wrong with surrendering. The Yellow Turban Army is illegal, but my Qiubai Village is legal. As long as you follow me, you don't have to worry about the court doing anything bad to you. Not everyone you bring is suitable to join my army, but my Qiubai Village can offer them a way out and allow them to join my village and work."

"Can your village accommodate so many of my brothers?" Chu Yan asked doubtfully.

"It can't accommodate us for now, but it will be soon. My Qiubai Village is already a medium-sized village, and it will soon become a large village."

"So fast?" Chu Yan was also surprised that Qiubai Village could develop so fast.

"Don't look at me like that. For me, breaking through the village's restrictions is not difficult at all."

Fengyun is not bragging when he says this.

Now his Qiubai Village has almost formed a primary circulation system, and it is more than enough to make money.

After so many of their soldiers joined and arrived at the big village, it was indeed not difficult to break through.

"I..."

Chu Yan was speechless for a moment.

He just wanted to join Zhang Jue's army and didn't want to join anyone else.

At this time, Zhang Jue spoke.

"Chu Yan, don't worry. If you want to follow me, then follow me. Just do whatever I do. I know you look down on the lord now. When the lord becomes stronger in the future, it's okay for you to officially join."

"yes!"

Zhang Jue's words were like an imperial decree to Chu Yan.

Chu Yan may ignore Feng Yun, but Zhang Jiao can definitely command him.

Fengyun still has one thing to resolve, and said:

"What should I do with all these men of yours? Since you don't recognize me as your master, there's no need for me to support them."

"Then I will become a bandit."

"Aren't you going to follow Zhang Jue? How could you possibly become a bandit? Besides, there's no one around here. If you rob me, I'll be the one to blame."

These words left Chu Yan speechless, not knowing what to say.

"I...what about them?"

Fengyun didn't want to make things difficult for him, for fear that he would suddenly return and leave.

"I can provide them with jobs, but your men will have to leave you. Not all of the over 10,000 people you brought with you are suitable to be soldiers. It would be best if they were transformed back into villagers."

Chu Yan had no objection to this.

"Yes, that's true. But I have a few questions. One is that there may be a large number of people eliminated, but can your village accept all of them? And what about the soldiers who are left behind? I don't have the ability to support them."

Feng Yun smiled and said, "This is very simple. If you don't have the ability, then leave it all to me. I have the ability."

You have to know that as long as they are NPCs, they need to be paid a salary to a certain extent, unless you want to give them other benefits.

But now Chu Yan has no way to meet the supply needs of his soldiers.

But he was reluctant to give up his military power.

"This...this...can I become their commander?"

Feng Yun shook his head and said, "Why?"

This is very realistic and hurtful, but there is no way to avoid it.

"I..."

Chu Yan hesitated to speak, as he really couldn't ask for too much.

Since he does not recognize his master, he must not be allowed to maintain an army.

Seeing Chu Yan like this, Feng Yun didn't want to force him too much, and said:

"Actually, it's not impossible for me to give you command. But only when you follow Zhang Jue into battle."

Feng Yun's words made Chu Yan feel that this was feasible.

Anyway, he only commands them during battles, which is no different from his own thoughts.

"Very well then. Then I'll leave my more than 10,000 men under my command to you. Just remember your promise to me."

"Haha, don't worry. I, Fengyun, always keep my word. If you're worried, you can observe slowly during this period of time."

Chu Yan nodded.

At this time, he actually had no good solution and could only accept Fengyun's conditions.

“How many people are coming here now?”

"About two thousand people. It will take about half a month for all of them to come here."

"Um."

Fengyun still feels that his current transportation capacity is too weak.

This transportation takes too much time.

But at this time, he thought of his Magic Shark.

If it could be transported, then these people could be dealt with easily.

So he asked Li Changgong to select people and transfer those unqualified soldiers to other professions.

It's been so long now, I think Ruan Xiaoer should have figured out the Magic Shark enough.

He directly summoned a carrier pigeon and sent him a message.

"How well do you understand the Demon Shark? Can we operate it now?"

Ruan Xiaoer's reply came soon.

"My lord, I have almost figured out the entire battleship. I can control it now, but I still can't drive it because we still need an energy stone."

Fengyun was a little surprised at Ruan Xiaoer's reply.

"What energy stone? Is it the energy stone used in the teleportation array?"
