The reason why Xiao Tianxing said these things was to comfort them on the one hand, and to make them understand one thing on the cover.

That is, if they don't come, they will be captured if they want to.

This kind of argument can also limit the thinking that they will not come to a certain extent.

Although Xiao Tianxing's words did hide this meaning, he and Ran Yun still decided not to do it.

Because of the two of them, even if some of the soul bodies will not come back, as long as not all of them will come, then there is room for reversal in this matter.

No matter how much they can get back, as long as they officially start working, and they can get their due remuneration.

Over time, other souls who are in a wait-and-see state will also come to find work on their own.

Although this method will take a lot longer, Xiao Tianxing and Ran Yun both understand one thing.

In order to build real trust, it is not only necessary to become sincere first, but also to run in over time.

After dealing with these things, Xiao Tianxing and they stayed in Shayu City for one night.

The next morning, after letting Sha Yuan find a guide who was familiar with geography, Xiao Tianxing and the others also decided to go to the villages around Shayu City to see if they could recruit some soul bodies in the village.

Just as Xiao Tianxing and his party were about to set off, an old man with a soul body found them and expressed his willingness to be a guide for Xiao Tianxing.

After inquiry, Xiao Tianxing learned that this soul body old man had lived in Shayu City for nearly seventy years before his death, so he was very clear and understood about the situation in all the villages around Shayu City.

Although the soul body in front of him was a citizen of Dongming before his death, Xiao Tianxing didn't care about this.

When Xiao Tianxing took out the money and was about to pay for it, the soul body old man shook his head and refused.

It turned out that this old man with a soul body was an old widower when he was alive, and there was no one in the family except him, so money no longer meant anything to him.

Under the leadership of this soul body old man, Xiao Tianxing and his party walked forward for a distance of more than ten miles, and saw a village that was not too big in the distance.

Looking at the scale of this village, Xiao Tianxing couldn't help but find a regular thing curiously.

That is, when they were in a hurry, they didn't seem to see a relatively large village.

After thinking about it in his heart for a long time, Xiao Tianxing also raised his own questions with the soul body old man next to him.

"Grandpa, why are we all small villages in the rain all the way? Aren't there any larger villages around?"

"Alas!" Hearing Xiao Tianxing's question, the soul body old man sighed and asked Xiao Tianxing a question.

"Child, what do you think the population of a place that experienced the war of annihilation more than ten years ago?"

Hearing the old man's question, Xiao Tianxing immediately understood the truth.

Although the current national strength of the Principality of Western Qin is very good, most of the population in the country has migrated.

It is true that there were many remnants of the Dongming Empire, but under the ravages of war, these remnants of the Dongming Empire also took out of this homeland where they had lived for a long time.

As for the rest of the people, there is only a very small part.

The combination of various reasons has also caused the population of the seven principalities to be quite sparse now.

Thinking about the truth in this, Ran Yun couldn't help but let out a sigh that didn't match his age.

"War is like a disease, because it affects not only those who are in war, but also those who are after war. ”

"If there weren't so many wars, I'm afraid we wouldn't be fighting the Demon Soul!"

"Hehe!" heard Ran Yun's sigh. The soul body old man also smiled bitterly.

"If man's own desires do not disappear, then war does not disappear. ”

"And this war is even more terrifying now, because you are facing demon souls, and I think you can understand the truth yourself!"

"Well, we understand, after all, there are always more dead than alive in this world! If this war cannot be won, the whole world will be turned upside down. ”

Looking at Sui Ran, Xiao Tianxing and Ran Yun, who were deeply touched, but had a calm face, also showed a smile on the face of the soul body old man.

"Maybe only you have a chance to stop this war now!"

"I didn't expect you, old man, to have such expectations for us! Is this the reason why you reprimanded and helped us?"

Looking at Xiao Tianxing, who had a calm face, the soul body old man smiled faintly.

"Oh, yes, because you are the ones who have the best chance of stopping this war!"

"We are already dead, though we have reappeared in this form for this special reason. ”

"But after all, the place where I gathered is no longer our world, so we don't have any reason to take this place that belongs to the living. ”

"Although I think so, just as there are good and bad people in people, some souls still want to possess this world, and they have become demon souls who fight against you. ”

"Frankly speaking, the road in front of your group of little guys can be said to be a thorny road!"

"Hehe!" After listening to the words of the soul body old man, Xiao Tianxing chuckled and gave his own answer at the same time.

"Grandpa, you're right. But it is not up to us to be born in such a world, but it is up to us to decide how to live in this world. ”

"Hehe! I didn't expect the superintendent to have such a state of mind at a young age!"

Just when Xiao Tianxing was chatting with the soul body old man beside him, Ying Fei'er and Yao Xue, who were flying in the air and were in charge of reconnaissance, also slowly fell.

"There is no trace of the demon spirit in the vicinity of the village in front of it, and there are indeed soul bodies working in this village. ”

"On the surface, the number is about three or four hundred, and as for the others, I haven't found anything too special for the time being. ”

"Well, I'm sorry for the two sisters, so let's go in now!"

Life is like this sometimes, and sometimes it's not something you do subjectively, but it's still misunderstood.

Although Xiao Tianxing and they didn't have any malicious intent, when the soul body working in the fields saw Xiao Tianxing and their cavalry, they quickly returned to the village, or ran into the dense forest to hide.

Seeing the panicked appearance of these soul bodies, Xiao Tianxing motioned for all the cavalry teams around him to dismount, and then the group led the horses to the location at the entrance of the village.

When Xiao Tianxing and his party came to the rough mouth, a middle-aged man quickly ran out of the village, followed by two men of the same age.

After coming to Xiao Tianxing's face, the man hugged his fist at them in a bit of a panic.

"Each... I wonder what is the matter with you coming here today? In our village, we have always paid our taxes on time. ”

"Hehe!" smiled kindly at the middle-aged man in front of him, and Xiao Tianxing also hugged his fist at him.

"Don't be afraid, uncle, we're not here to find trouble. We're here just for some things, and we want the village chief to be uncle... By the way, uncle, are you the village chief?"

"Ah! Back to the little master, the villain is indeed the head of this village. I don't know what the little master has to say?"

Looking at the middle-aged man who was still very panicked in front of him, Xiao Tianxing continued to smile.

"Uncle Village, you really don't need to be so afraid, we are only here to ask you for some help. ”

"Help, I don't know the little master, what do you want us to help?"

This time, without waiting for Xiao Tianxing to answer, the captain of the cavalry team standing next to him spoke.

"Mr. Village Chief, the one standing in front of you is Yi Tianxing, the son of Marshal Yi Han of the Hungarian Fortress, and now his position is the Vice-General Governor of the Military Affairs of the Hungarian Fortress. ”

"The main purpose of the Governor coming to the village this time is to think about the soul of the civilians in Gui Village, and go to the Hungarian Fortress to assist in the construction of the fortress. ”

"Now, please ask Mr. Village Chief, to concentrate the soul body in the village!"

After the cavalry captain finished speaking, Xiao Tianxing also nodded and added a few words.

"That's right, that's the mystery we came here to, I hope the village chief can cooperate. ”

"Of course, we will not let these souls work in vain, and we will pay them according to their work and will not treat them badly. ”

"Although we are recruiting, it is also on a voluntary basis, and as long as we agree to go, we will pay a counter-deposit first. ”

"I don't know if the village chief, can you cooperate with us?"

After listening to Xiao Tianxing's words, the village chief's first reaction was that Xiao Tianxing's words were all lies.

First of all, it was hard for him to believe that Xiao Tianxing could do this at such an age.

But looking at the troops around Xiao Tianxing, the village chief still felt that Xiao Tianxing's words were credible.

After thinking about it carefully, the middle-aged man felt that Xiao Tianxing might not be a liar.

After all, if it was forcibly recruited, Xiao Tianxing and they would just arrest people directly, so why bother talking nonsense to a flat-headed commoner?

Just as the village chief lowered his head and pondered, the soul body old man spoke.

"Did that old guy named Zhao Shan in your village become a soul body?"

"If he is like this now, you can tell him that Lao Zhou has come to him. ”

Hearing the words of this soul body old man, everyone was immediately stunned, and at this time, a villager also ran back from outside the village in a panic.

"Everyone, let's hide!

As soon as he heard the words of this villager, Xiao Tianxing's eyebrows immediately raised.
