Holding a knife and writing is a boring thing in itself.
But Gu Yuan's ability to adapt gave Zhong Wuchen a big surprise.
From half an hour on the first day, to an hour on the second day, and then an hour and a half on the third day.
Every time, Zhong Wuchen challenged Gu Yuan's limits.
And Gu Yuan's limits seemed to be being refreshed again and again.
Looking at Gu Yuan, Zhong Wuchen became more and more satisfied.
It's like seeing myself when I was younger.
When Gu Yuan put away the knife and looked at Zhong Wuchen, he found that the other person was looking at the entrance of the courtyard.
Gu Yuan followed his gaze.
He is a burly middle-aged man.
And on the other party's face, there was a scar that was one inch long, extending from the left eye to the bridge of the nose.
The other person was still carrying something in his hand and had a smile on his face. When he looked ridiculous, he looked a little...
Scary.
Zhong Wuchen turned to look at Gu Yuan.
"It's getting late, you should go back."
"Yes, sir."
When passing by the burly man, Gu Yuan found that the man was looking at him and smiled back as a greeting.
However, the burly man looked at Gu Yuan's back and pondered for a long time.
"What, you want to stand guard? Then just keep standing there." Zhong Wuchen said displeased.
The burly man walked in quickly carrying his things.
Looking at Zhong Wuchen in front of him, the man's eyes suddenly turned red.
Suddenly, he put down the things in his hands, straightened his body, and made a special salute to Zhong Wuchen, placing his right hand between his eyebrows.
This is a special military ceremony within the Daxia Kingdom’s demon-slaying army.
"Commander!" The man shouted, his anger shaking the mountains and rivers.
Zhong Wuchen frowned and said in a deep voice: "If you don't stay in Northern Xinjiang, what are you doing here in Star City?"
The burly man suddenly looked embarrassed.
Before he could answer, Zhong Wuchen's face darkened, and he clasped his hands behind his back and asked, "Is the situation in Northern Xinjiang...unclear?"
"Those evil obstacles in the demon mountain fought back several times, but we were all pushed back, but..."
"explain."
"The 201st Regiment and the Headwind Battalion are all gone..." The burly man's voice suddenly became much softer, and his voice even trembled a little.
This man who was made of steel felt a little aggrieved and timid at the moment, like a child who didn't dare to face the scolding of his parents after getting zero marks in the exam.
And Zhong Wuchen's reaction was indeed a bit big.
His eyes widened with murderous intent, and the bulging veins on his forehead pulsed faintly.
"All gone? Where's Wang Benlei? Isn't he the current commander-in-chief of the Demon-Slaying Army? Is he a shit-eater?"
The burly man lowered his head, lowered his voice and said: "Commander Wang... is gone too. An S-class spirit demon appeared in Monster Mountain. Commander Wang and Nifeng Battalion came out of the city to resist. The 201st Regiment supported them and defeated the spirit demon, but they , and couldn’t come back either…”
this moment.
In the courtyard, there was silence.
Zhong Wuchen's hands behind his back were trembling slightly.
I don’t know how long it took.
He nodded slightly.
"Wang Benlei... I underestimated him before, so he's not bad."
The burly man wiped the tears from his eyes and said with a grin, "If Commander Wang hears you praising him, he will be proud for a while."
Zhong Wuchen's eyes flickered, and he immediately asked, "Are you coming to Star City this time to find Li Siming?"
"Well, the capital wants Li Siming to go to Northern Xinjiang and serve as the commander of the demon-slaying army."
Zhong Wuchen was silent and asked, "Have you been there?"
"No, I came to see you first."
Zhong Wuchen was so angry that he picked up the teapot on the side and threw it at it.
"Bastard! Who gave you the courage? When the mission comes, you will always come first, don't you understand?"
"Zhong Tong...Mr. Zhong, I haven't seen you for a long time." The burly man said softly.
Seeing his appearance, Zhong Wuchen couldn't get angry anymore. He looked at the two bags and sneered.
"You are so capable, come to my place as a guest? You still know how to carry gifts?" The tone was full of sarcasm.
The burly man shook his head and poured out the contents of the bag.
They are pieces of strangely shaped bones.
"Every bone is a B-level monster or above. Lao Zhao and the others said that you always looked down on them before, so they have to show you that even if you are not in Northern Xinjiang, we can kill the enemy and hack them to death." Those beasts!"
Having said this, the burly man put away his smile and stood up straight again.
"Everything is fine in Northern Xinjiang without you, so please don't worry about Mr. Zhong and take good care of yourself. We will defend Daxia to the death and prevent Mr. Zhong from being humiliated!"
Zhong Wuchen stared at him blankly, lowered his head, looked at the bones, and suddenly laughed.
"It's very good. This gift is not bad."
"As long as you like it."
Zhong Wuchen was silent for a moment and said softly: "Sit down first and have a cup of tea."
"This is...good!"
After the man sat down, Zhong Wuchen poured tea and said, "I have already communicated with Li Siming. He had a knot in his mind before staying in Star City. Now that the knot has been resolved, he is a good candidate. However, He needs some time."
The burly man was stunned: "Time?"
"Well, he still has some things to do." Zhong Wuchen took a sip of tea and said, "Are there any alternatives?"
"Yes. There are three candidates in total, but after comprehensive consideration, Li Siming is always the most suitable." The burly man did not dare to hide in front of Zhong Wuchen, and said truthfully, "The other two are Ling from the Ling family in the capital. Qiao, and Qi Changguang."
"Well... Lingqiao is indeed a good choice, but he is too selfish, and after all, he is a member of the Beijing family, which will cause some trouble. As for Qi Changguang, he is not good at strategy. If he leads a hundred people, he will be invincible. If he leads ten thousand people, he will die."
"So, Li Siming is the best choice." said the burly man.
Zhong Wuchen pondered for a moment and said: "You can talk to Li Siming, but don't have high hopes. You should really give him some time. Ling Qiao can also be contacted, but don't give him a full-time job."
The burly man was delighted: "You mean, use Lingqiao as a spare tire?"
"You can let him take the lead first." Zhong Wuchen said, "Not just anyone can be the commander of the demon-slaying army."
"clear!"
After the burly man finished drinking the tea, Zhong Wuchen also started to chase people away.
"Go to Li Siming and listen to his opinion."
"Yes..." The burly man was still a little reluctant to leave, and he took his time before walking to the courtyard gate.
But suddenly, Zhong Wuchen opened his mouth to stop him again.
"etc!"
The burly man turned around immediately.
"exist!"
Zhong Wuchen narrowed his eyes and looked at him with a sneer on his face.
"I heard that there is a man named Xu Mu in the martial arts academy who is attracted by you?"
The burly man was stunned and nodded subconsciously.
"Mr. Zhong, Xu Mu..."
Zhong Wuchen didn't give him a chance to speak at all, and said bluntly: "If he goes to Northern Xinjiang, get out of here!"
"Yes!" The burly man was sweating profusely and quickly nodded in agreement.
Although I don't know what happened.
But in his heart, Xu Mu was already a fool.
…
At this time, Gu Yuan was still thinking about the burly man he saw before.
Especially, after walking a certain distance, Xiao Ai on the phone suddenly spoke.
"Brother, that guy just now was so scary! He had so much murderous intent!"
Hearing this, Gu Yuan suddenly woke up.
Yes!
When he met that man's eyes before, he felt a chill in his heart.
Especially when my back was turned to him, I always felt like there was a knife behind me.
A real thorn in the back!
Just when he thought of this, a hand suddenly patted his shoulder heavily.
He turned around and looked at Liang Pao behind him, who looked resentful.
"What a boy! We are as tired as dogs every day, and you don't even need to participate in special training!"
Gu Yuan looked at him and asked, "Are you envious?"
"Nonsense! Who in the class doesn't envy you?"
"Oh..." Gu Yuan sighed, "If our roles were reversed, you would know what cruelty is."
Even if Gu Yuan's shock-modified body doesn't use the Yuan Qi in his body, the intensity of special training is like an old man going to the park for him.
"By the way, Gu Yuan, I have some bad news for you." Liang Pao suddenly turned pale and his voice became much softer.
