After the man finished his noodles, Shen Yan put on his long-lost Taoist robe, picked an empty space, put a table on it, and began to set up the altar.

He gently rang the Three Pure Ones Bell and chanted the Sutra of Rebirth: "The number of the ten-direction celestial masters is as numerous as the sand and dust, they transform into the ten directions, saving all the heavenly beings and humans..."

The spirit's body glowed with golden light, and it felt as if all the resentment in it had been washed away. The man smiled honestly, "Master, thank you. I saw you were wearing a military uniform just now. Are you a military commander? You must drive the Japanese out of our land."

Then it turned into a spot of light and went to another world.

Shen Yan whispered, "I promise you, I will drive them out of China. But before that, I will take 100 Japanese heads to pay tribute to you."

After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and a line of hot tears flowed down his eyes. This war had nothing to do with the people, they just wanted to live in peace and stability in their own land, but the invaders took away everything from them.

You Ke, who was standing aside, heard what Shen Yan said and clasped his fists: "Little Mountain Master has done a great deed. I will be one of the ones who will be involved in the memorial service."

Shen Yan nodded: "It's getting late today, Brother You, take a good rest. We can discuss anything in detail tomorrow."

As the daylight gradually brightened, Shen Yan got up and came to Li Yunlong's room. He looked at Li Yunlong with a half-smile: "Captain, do you want to make some more money?"

Li Yunlong's eyes widened after hearing this: "Get rich? That's a good idea, what's the good idea?"

Shen Yan took him to the map and pointed to Changye County: "Captain, we will make a fortune here."

Li Yunlong frowned and asked in confusion: "You want to attack the county, but we have less than a thousand people. Although the enemy's troops have not been replenished yet, our number is not enough to fill their teeth."

Shen Yan smiled mysteriously: "Captain, I guarantee that you can lead your troops to evacuate the county without firing a single shot."

Li Yunlong came to his senses after hearing this: "Really? Tell me how to do it?"

Shen Yan whispered a few words in his ear, and Li Yunlong asked doubtfully, "Will this work?"

Shen Yan said confidently: "Just wait and see. I dare not say anything else, but these two are much better than me in assassination."

Li Yunlong nodded: "Then let's do it. Wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat. Old Li is not afraid of being full. See if you can recruit these two to our army. It would be a pity if they are so good at fighting the Japanese."

"I'll try my best." Shen Yan didn't promise. After all, the Tang Sect was even more old-fashioned than Maoshan. But he still wanted to try his best. After all, his 937th Battalion was still alone.

After agreeing on the plan with Li Yunlong, Shen Yan brought three breakfasts into You Ke's room. You Shou had gotten better, and the two of them stood up when they saw Shen Yan come in.

You Shouyi clasped his fists and said, "Thank you very much for saving my life, Master Xiaoshan. I will never forget it."

"You are too polite, brother. Let's eat."

The three of them sat together, eating and chatting.

Shen Yan looked at the two and asked, "What are your plans?"

You Shou first spoke up, "I heard what happened from my brother. I also want to avenge that farmer. Little mountain master, just tell me when to start."

Shen Yan put down his bowl of porridge and said, "Our army successfully eliminated a large number of defenders in Changye County yesterday. I plan to take advantage of the fact that the defenders are weak and have not had time to replenish their forces. The three of us will sneak into the city tonight and kill all the remaining hundreds of Japanese soldiers."

"You two are experts in the art of concealment and assassination. We can sneak in through the city gate, kill the devils, and then open the city gate to welcome our army in. What do you think?"

You Ke and You Shou looked at each other and said, "Then we will obey your orders, Little Mountain Master."

"Okay, then let's do it at three o'clock tonight."

After finishing the discussion, Shen Yan changed the subject: "Brother You, I wonder if you two are interested in joining our army and fighting the war with us."

The two looked a little embarrassed. You Ke said, "Master Xiaoshan, what you have done has made everyone in our sect admire you, but we have no choice but to follow the strict sect rules. We in the Tang Sect accept orders, kill people, and take money, and we have nothing to do with others. This time, we have joined forces with Master Xiaoshan. I guess we will be punished by the sect rules when we go back, so I hope Master Xiaoshan will forgive us."

Shen Yan knew he would say that, so his expression didn't change and he continued, "Since you two feel that I saved you, then I will make an order with you on this matter. You two will stay in our group for a month, and your mission is to protect me. How about that?"

"This..." The two did not expect Shen Yan to say this, and they were both hesitant.

"I also know a little bit about how you Tang Sect works. After a month, the grudges between us will be settled. Even if someone places an order with me in the future, you two can take it. I, Shen, can take your life at any time."

After hearing this, You Ke quickly bowed and said, "Master, you are too kind. We two agree to stay in your army for a month."

Shen Yan was secretly delighted. The prerequisite for recruiting the White-Green Spider into the army was to keep him here. As long as he stayed here, there would be a chance.

After dinner, Shen Yan asked the two to have a good rest and come to him if they needed anything. He left the room and went to Li Yunlong's command center.

After entering the headquarters, Li Yunlong was discussing with Zhang Dabiao how to write the battle summary. When he saw Shen Yan coming in, he quickly waved: "Come on, think about how to write this battle summary for me."

Shen Yan poured himself a glass of water: "Just write as usual, what are you afraid of?"

Li Yunlong was in a dilemma: "We seized a lot this time, especially so many artillery pieces. I'm afraid if I write it down, the brigade commander will be worried."

Shen Yan took a sip of water and nodded: "I think we should write it as it is. First, we killed more than 700 devils this time. The headquarters must know about it and can calculate how much they have captured. In addition, we are short of artillery, so we might as well use some to silence the brigade commander."

Li Yunlong felt a little painful when he heard that his cannon was going to be used.

Shen Yan added: "And Commander, the You brothers have already agreed. We don't need this little bit of stuff. Instead of not being able to use it, we might as well use it to exchange for some soldiers from the brigade commander, especially veterans and artillery."

"Well, let's do as you say. Since we are going to make a fortune tonight, let's give more to the brigade commander and ask him to give me more veterans."

Afterwards, Shen Yan copied a battle summary and handed it to the regiment's communications soldier. He organized a platoon of soldiers to escort weapons and ammunition to the brigade headquarters and hand them over to the brigade commander.

In the evening at the brigade headquarters, the brigade commander was discussing yesterday's battle with the deputy brigade commander. It was still unclear which unit had wiped out so many Japanese devils. From the map, only Li Yunlong's unit had time to organize a battle in Changye County, but Li Yunlong's unit had too few people, and the brigade commander was a little bit unconvinced that it was him.

While the two were discussing, the guard came in and said, "Report, Commander Li of the New 1st Regiment sent someone to deliver weapons and ammunition to you."

The brigade commander was stunned after hearing this, and then he realized that it must be the Yangchang Mountain blocking battle fought by Li Yunlong.

"Quick, let someone in"

The deputy brigade commander said cheerfully, "It was really Li Yunlong who fought this battle, but it's rare that he can give gifts."

The brigade commander snorted, "Li Yunlong is just a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken. I want to see how he fights this battle."

The signalman came in and shouted, "Report to the brigade commander. I am here on the orders of the regiment commander to deliver the battle summary and weapons and ammunition to you."

The brigade commander took the battle report but didn't open it. He looked at him and smiled, "What did Li Yunlong send me?"

The communicator smiled and said, "There are five light machine guns, two heavy machine guns, two mortars, and various ammunition."

The brigade commander was stunned after hearing this: "Damn it, this old guy Li Yunlong really made a fortune."
