Seeing Gu Yuan's nervous look, Wu Ning laughed, followed Gu Yuan's gaze, and then waved.
"Brother Xiong!" A burly man raised his head and saw Wu Ning. A smile broke out on his face and shouted: "Xiao Wu! Come over and finish the mutton soup!"
"No, I'll bring my friend over to try it when I get back!"
"Okay!" Wu Ning looked at Gu Yuan and said, "Don't worry about this, just keep walking." Gu Yuan was a little surprised, but now he slowly calmed down.
"There are actually monsters living in the Demon Slayer City?"
"Hmm...why not?"
"Speak nicely!" Gu Yuan's face darkened. Wu Ning said with a smile: "There are a lot of demon clans in Demon Slaying City. As you said before, there are good people and bad people, and the same is true for demon clans. There are some demon clans who just like a dull life and don't want to live a dull life. We don’t want to fight with the human race. We are very tolerant. Moreover, there is a small town behind the Demon Slaying City, where the demons live and work in peace and contentment. They also help us train some monsters and help slay them. The demon army has formed a powerful cavalry, which can attack quickly even in the mountains and forests. These are all left by Commander Zhong!" Gu Yuan suddenly realized and felt quite emotional in his heart.
From this point of view, that gentleman's situation is much bigger than mine. Taking advantage of this moment, Gu Yuan also raised his doubts.
"Hasn't Nile Peak been defeated? Is the Demon-Slaying Army still in Demon-Slaying City?"
"Otherwise?" Wu Ning laughed and said,
"Did all the Demon-Slaying Army dispatch to guard Nile Peak? How is that possible? Even the Demon Clan didn't do this at that time! Nile Peak is a very important place. If the Demon-Slaying Army captures Nile Peak, a new one can be set up. The defense line has become our buffer zone, and in the area from Demon Slayer City to Nile Peak, the Demon Slayer Army can also make great achievements here. The supply line can also continue to be stretched, occupying Nile Peak, and the Demon Slayer Army can advance and retreat. Ke Shou..." Wu Ning said a lot eloquently. In fact, Gu Yuan listened very carefully, but he couldn't understand it as he listened.
It's like a former good friend who parted ways after college and went to work in a new industry. When we were sitting together for dinner, the other party was talking eloquently, but I gradually couldn't understand it.
This feeling is quite amazing. After walking in Demon Slayer City for about half an hour, Wu Ning and Gu Yuan stopped.
The terrain here is much higher. Walking up the steps, you will see a majestic building in front of you. The surrounding area is heavily fortified. Even Wu Ning had to produce a warrant before he could take Gu Yuan in.
Several men came towards me while reading. They seemed to be quite familiar with Wu Ning. After a brief chat, when they learned that Gu Yuan was Qi Changguang's disciple, the expressions of the middle-aged men were suddenly stunned. They looked at Gu Yuan was silent for a moment and performed the military salute of the Demon-Slaying Army.
After those people left, Wu Ning said to Gu Yuan: "They are all middle-level generals of the Demon Slayer Army, and they all participated in the attack on Nile Peak before."
"Um……"
"Let's go." Wu Ning took Gu Yuan and continued walking forward. After crossing the gate, we drove straight in and finally came to a row of small buildings at the back. In the middle of the small buildings, there was a guild hall with many guards at the door.
"Commander Li, you are inside now." Wu Ning said. Seeing Li Siming again, Gu Yuan's mood was a little complicated.
Entering the club, the two were stopped again. Just as Wu Ning was about to take out the warrant, a man's voice came.
"Let them come over." The two guards immediately stepped aside. Wu Ning looked at the man in front of him, then at Gu Yuan, and whispered: "That is Deputy Commander Ling Qiaoling." Gu Yuan nodded lightly.
Ling Qiao was also looking at Gu Yuan at this moment, with a strange look in his eyes. When Gu Yuan came forward, Ling Qiao coughed lightly.
"Gu Yuan?"
"I've met Deputy Commander Ling." Ling Qiao was stunned for a moment. He pondered for a moment and suddenly said: "From your eyes, I don't see fear or hatred." Gu Yuan said doubtfully: "Deputy Commander Ling Why did Shuai say this? It must be our first time meeting, right?"
"Of course!" Ling Qiao laughed and said,
"But, I am a member of the Ling family! Aren't you afraid?" Gu Yuan thought for a moment and said, "But here, you are the deputy commander of the Demon Slayer Army. I can't say I'm afraid of you, let alone hate you. Yes." Ling Qiao put away his smile and nodded lightly.
He walked up to Gu Yuan, stretched out his hand, and gently patted Gu Yuan's shoulder twice.
"I know about the affairs between you and the Ling family, but I only just found out that as a member of the Ling family, there are some things that I can't say much about. Ling Feng will die when he dies. The conflict between you and the Ling family, I can't reconcile it even if I want to, but to be honest, I never thought you did anything wrong. As for the bullshit Ling Hongbo did, it would be easy for you to break both of his arms. If you ask me to kill him directly, The worst thing is, if you run to the demon-slaying army, I'll protect you." Gu Yuan looked at the other party in surprise, he really couldn't believe that the other party, as a member of the Ling family, could say such a thing.
But soon, he felt it was natural again. If Ling Qiao didn't have such a character, how could he come to Northern Xinjiang and become the current deputy commander of the Demon Slayer Army?
People like Ling Feng and others would not do this even if they had Ling Qiao's strength.
"Okay, let's go. It's time for me to get busy." After Ling Qiao said hello, he turned around and walked out of the club.
Wu Ning helped Gu Yuan push open a door, which looked like a large conference hall, and a man in a long gown was sitting in the last row of seats in the conference hall, his face as calm as an ancient well.
When Gu Yuan approached, Li Siming slowly turned around, looked at him, and smiled.
"A little fatter." Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect that Li Siming's first words out of his mouth would be like this...
"Come here and sit down." Li Siming waved. Gu Yuan didn't hesitate, walked up to him and sat down.
Wu Ning stood aside and said with a smile: "Commander, I'll get to work first." Li Siming looked at him and nodded lightly.
After Wu Ning left, Gu Yuan and Li Siming were the only two people in the huge hall. After a long silence, Li Siming looked at Gu Yuan and said, "Did you come by yourself?"
"Well, I did it myself."
"How did you feel along the way?" Gu Yuan thought seriously and shook his head: "I don't remember." When he got the news of Qi Changguang's death, Gu Yuan's mind went blank. Now let him think about it, and he will remember everything. I don’t know how I got on the plane or how I got on the special train.
He added: "The most profound memory is that after getting off the plane, I took the train. When I was about to arrive, the surroundings were already covered in white, and there was a sense of Snowpiercer atmosphere." Li Siming nodded lightly: "Most of them Anyone who comes to Northern Xinjiang will feel like this, this place is very nice." Gu Yuan said nothing.
He didn't know what was good about it either. Li Siming also fell silent again, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little depressed. After a while, Li Siming said, "Do you know why I'm here?" Gu Yuan shook his head.
"Before you came, a memorial service was held here. Logically speaking, with Qi Changguang's contribution, he can be sent directly to the capital and buried in Guanlong Mountain. There is a cemetery there. Being able to be buried there after his death is supreme. However, when Qi Changguang was alive, he once said that he hoped to be buried in Yuncheng after his death. After some discussion, we finally decided to follow Qi Changguang's last wish."
"Yuncheng?" Gu Yuan was a little surprised,
"Why Yuncheng?" Qi Changguang was originally from the capital. Even if he wanted to return to his roots, he should still be in the capital.
Li Siming explained: "Your master once had a sister named Qi Yunwei."
"The wind blows, the clouds disperse, and I see Ziwei..." Gu Yuan said subconsciously.
"Yes, the wind blows and the clouds disperse. See Ziwei and Qi Yunwei. Qi Yunwei used to be a very good warrior. He also used a knife, but he used a small crescent scimitar. He was very powerful. When we were young, we used to go to Yunwei together. City, to support the local Demon Suppression Division, a powerful monster appeared there, but unfortunately, Qi Yunwei's sister died in the battle, I took her there, but did not bring her back, so Qi Changguang has always treated me Everyone has complaints." Gu Yuan took a deep breath, his expression a little complicated.
"Qi Yunwei is buried in Yuncheng, and Qi Changguang's last thought is that he hopes to stay there forever. I know you will come to pick him up, so this task will eventually be handed over to you." Li Siming said softly. ,
"Take your master back, and be careful on the way."
"Captain Li."
"Huh?" Gu Yuan stood up suddenly, his eyes sharp.
"I hope to join the Demon-Slaying Army." Li Siming looked at him, frowned, remained silent for a long time, and said, "Why?" Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment.
Why? In fact, Gu Yuan didn't know why. The husband often says that people like him will join the Demon Slayer Army sooner or later.
And he himself has never had any special feelings about this. Whether he came to Demon Slaying City or stayed in Star Town Demon Division, he was growing up and doing what a transcendent should do.
Originally, he thought that Li Siming would readily agree to his request, but now it seems that this is not the case.
Li Siming said: "Is it because Wu Ning is here? Or is it because you think the scenery of Demon Slaying City is good? Or, it's because Qi Changguang's death has dealt a blow to you. You want to see what kind of magic this place has and is it worth his efforts? Is life worth thousands of members of the Demon-Slaying Army willingly burying themselves here?" Gu Yuan listened to Li Siming's words, thought for a while, and said: "Maybe it's because of these, or maybe... none of them." Li Siming stood He stood up, looked at him, and said: "No matter what your reasons are, but I don't agree." Gu Yuan looked at the other person in shock and blurted out: "Why?"
"No reason, let's go out first, I have some things to do." Li Siming's mood fluctuated a little, and he waved his hand to drive Gu Yuan away.
"Let Wu Ning take you to the gate of Demon Slayer City. Just think of it as a way to relax." Gu Yuan wanted to say something else, but Li Siming sat down again and closed his eyes, as if he was too lazy to talk nonsense to him. .
Gu Yuan was silent for a moment, then turned and walked out of the club. Wu Ning happened to be waiting at the door and did not leave.
"Come out?" Wu Ning said with a smile. When he walked up to him, he found that Gu Yuan's brows were furrowed.
"What's wrong?" Gu Yuan raised his head, looked at him, opened his mouth, but said nothing. ...in the clubhouse.
A series of footsteps came from the corridor. Li Siming knew who was coming without opening his eyes. Ling Qiao also sat down, separated from Li Siming.
"Why did you reject him?" Li Siming still said nothing. Ling Qiao narrowed his eyes, his eyes sparkling.
"Perhaps I should rephrase it, Li Siming, what are you... afraid of?"
