When he was still a hundred miles away from Demon Slayer City, Wu Ning's speed was already getting slower and slower.
With a "bang", his body fell heavily into the bloody ground. His eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. He tried to hold himself up, but he couldn't open them.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of horse hooves and the sound of metal colliding.
The last thing he saw was a war horse wearing silver armor.
That was the war horse of the demon-slaying army's charging camp.
At this moment, Wu Ning was relieved of a heavy burden.
A middle-aged man wearing armor jumped off his horse and quickly rushed to Wu Ning.
"Boy, what's going on?"
Wu Ning could hear the sound, but couldn't open his eyes.
"The demon clan...the army...is coming..."
The middle-aged man's face changed slightly, and he turned around quickly.
"Come here! Go back and inform the commander-in-chief that the demon army is here again!"
"yes!"
"You two, come here and put them on the horse!"
"yes!"
"General, this one seems to be dead... Hey, I know him. He is an old scout. He is Ju Dazhuang!"
"Take him back... take him back..." Wu Ning muttered.
The middle-aged man held Wu Ning's arm tightly, coughed slightly, raised his head and looked at the snow in front of him, and roared: "Take them all back! Even if they die, you must take them back!"
"yes!"
The wind and snow are getting heavier.
The iron horse breaks the wind.
…
Gu Yuan knew nothing about the war situation in Northern Xinjiang.
Over the years, it seems that something happens in Northern Xinjiang every day and every night.
But for ordinary people who are far away from Demon Slayer City, everything that happens there is destined to be buried in the wind and snow. They still scroll through short videos before going to bed, and after waking up, check social platforms to see if there is any missed news. .
The wind and snow were very strong, but with Demon Slaying City around, it couldn't blow to the south.
After breakfast, Gu Yuan was taken to Mr. Li's side.
It can be seen that Mr. Li is in a good mood.
Especially when he saw Gu Yuan, his smile was full of genuineness.
"Boy, are you here? I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Gu Yuan walked up quickly, grinned and said, "The old man is in a good mood."
"That's right, I've heard about Gu Dong. I heard that you gave me a prescription worth a thousand gold?"
"A prescription worth a thousand gold?" Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment and had no idea.
Mr. Li was stunned for a moment: "Didn't you give that prescription?"
"I gave Li Qingchuan a prescription, but it's not a prescription worth a fortune."
Mr. Li couldn't help but laugh, and explained the meaning of Qianjin Prescription to Gu Yuan, and then Gu Yuan understood.
He scratched his head and remembered that the prescription was also left by the Lingyang clan, but he didn't expect it to be so precious.
Looking at it this way, wouldn’t I be at a disadvantage?
At this time, Mr. Li took out a box and placed it on the table.
"This is the Nine Demon Ink you want. Old man, I keep my word. You can take it."
When Gu Yuan saw Jiu Yao Mo, he was immediately overjoyed. He quickly reached out his hand to take it and put it into the Hidden Sky Jade.
"Don't you check it out?" Mr. Li asked.
"No! Can I still believe you?" Gu Yuan said seriously.
Even if Gu Yuan wanted to check it, he didn't have the ability to do it. What about Jiu Yao Mo... He still listened to what Fu Li said. He had never heard of it before.
In this regard, what can he count? How can he check if he doesn't understand anything?
I don’t even know if it’s true or not!
Mr. Li glanced at Gu Yuan approvingly.
"Good boy, I saw you right. Based on this, my preparation was not in vain!" As he spoke, the old man took out another long wooden box.
It's about forty centimeters long, but very narrow.
"Old man, what is this?"
"The gift I prepared for you." The old man said with a smile.
"This... is inappropriate. Jiu Yao Mo is enough. How can I still want something from you?" Gu Yuan quickly waved his hand.
Although I don't know what is in the wooden box, but given the identity of the old man, what he can take out is definitely not something vulgar.
Gu Yuan also received no reward for his efforts.
The Nine Demon Ink was a deal that he and the old man had agreed upon before. It was understandable. If it weren't for Fuli's real need, he might not have made this deal. After all, as a member of the Demon Suppression Division, it was natural for him to encounter such a thing. It's time to take action.
You can't just watch Li Gudong turn into a monster, right?
The old man waved his hand and said: "One code means one code. I give you Jiu Yao Mo because of our previous agreement. However, your prescription is very precious. We, the Li family, cannot get you in vain." It’s something from the Li family, right? Besides, you’re really likeable, kid. These are all my own things and don’t belong to the Li family, so don’t refuse them!”
Gu Yuan wanted to speak, but the old man frowned.
"Why, do you think that a bad old man like me can't come up with anything good? Do you dislike me?"
"No... the elder dare not refuse the gift, so the junior will accept it." Although he knew that the old man was feigning anger, the other party's attitude was very firm and was not polite, so Gu Yuan accepted it.
"Aren't you curious, what is this?" the old man asked.
"It's not important what it is, but who gave it to it is important." Gu Yuan said seriously.
The old man laughed loudly: "The little mouth is like honey... Okay, you can wait and see later."
】
Gu Yuan stood up, said goodbye and left.
He was really curious about what was in the wooden box.
But it is indeed disrespectful to open gifts from elders in front of others.
Now I can only suppress my curiosity.
As soon as he returned to his residence, Li Qingchuan rushed over.
"Gu Yuan, are you busy now?"
"I'm not busy." Gu Yuan stood up, "What happened to Miss Li?"
"No, no, my little sister has woken up and said she wants to see you. Look...do you have time?"
Gu Yuan was stunned: "Just woke up?"
"yes!"
The expression on Gu Yuan's face was stagnant.
Previously, the old man called him over and gave him Jiuyao Mo and something that had not been opened yet. I originally thought it was because Li Gudong had woken up and It's no big deal.
Unexpectedly, the old man sent a gift before he confirmed this.
Gu Yuan sighed in his heart.
This feeling of being trusted...
it's actually very good.
"I'm fine, let's go now." Gu Yuan said.
He was just curious.
Li Gudong woke up as soon as he woke up and wanted to see what he was doing first.
Could it be that out of gratitude, you want to commit yourself to him? If this is the case, then I definitely cannot accept it! But the other party is a girl after all. If she really opens her mouth...
Along the way, Gu Yuan was struggling with how he could refuse the other party's request to commit himself without hurting the girl's self-esteem.
After meeting Li Gudong, Gu Yuan knew that he might have thought too much.
Because Li Gudong's consciousness was damaged, he did not need to lie in bed all day long. He just had to sleep more every day. In addition, he had to drink medicine and stay calm.
For this reason, the Li family also found a lot of elixirs to replenish their spiritual consciousness. Those elixirs are valuable if they are placed outside, but to the Li family, they may not matter.
"Are you here?" Li Gudong saw Gu Yuan and stood up with a smile.
"Um."
Gu Yuan walked over and sat in the yard. Immediately, Li Gudong looked at Li Qingchuan.
"Brother, if you have something to do, go and do it first."
"Ah? I'm fine, I'm not busy."
"No, you have something to do." Li Gudong said seriously with a straight face.
