There are two gates in Demon Slayer City. The south gate is the gate through which Gu Yuan came in before, while the north gate is taller. If you stand outside and look around, if the weather is good, the sun will shine and the walls will glow. The mottled light red color indicates that the wall has been invaded by blood over the years.
Standing on the tower, looking into the distance, Gu Yuan took a deep breath, and the air he breathed into his lungs seemed to be filled with ice.
"How about it? Isn't the air here very fragrant?" Wu Ning said from behind. Gu Yuan turned to look at him, and for a moment he didn't know whether the other person was joking or serious.
Here, all Gu Yuan could smell was the smell of blood. After all, even the walls were soaked red with blood. Then, Wu Ning took two more steps and walked side by side with Gu Yuan. He sighed and said, "What do you think, Commander Li? I think you are very suitable for this land. Come to the Demon Slayer Army and hone yourself." , Isn't this better than staying in the Demon Suppression Division?" If it were in the past, Wu Ning would definitely not have said such a thing. He has never even understood his own life, so how could he give Gu Yuan life advice?
It's just that since he came to the Demon Slayer Army, he has loved it very much. He feels that this is the most suitable place for him in the world. Naturally, he also hopes that Gu Yuan can come over. The two of them can fight side by side, which can be regarded as reminiscing about the glorious years.
"I don't know." Gu Yuan shook his head.
"However, Captain Li's attitude is very firm."
"Tsk..." As a soldier of the Demon-Slaying Army, Wu Ning naturally couldn't question Li Siming's decision, but there was always confusion in his heart.
At this moment, Gu Yuan suddenly heard a strange sound.
"The people in the 232nd Regiment are the most awesome!"
"The people in the 232nd Regiment are the best!" Gu Yuan was a little confused. He turned around and walked a few steps quickly, looking at the other side.
In an open space in the city, more than a dozen people stood in a row, shouting at the top of their lungs. Their voices were impassioned and a little sad.
Gu Yuan, who has excellent eyesight, also saw a familiar face among these people, Zhou Ziyi, who he had met in Star City before.
When Gu Yuan turned around to ask Wu Ning, he found that Wu Ning's eyes were also red at this moment. He stood on the city wall and followed Zhou Ziyi and others in shouting, and the words he shouted were exactly the same.
"The people in the 232nd Regiment are the best!" This scene seemed a bit funny, especially since they had such solemn and serious expressions, but they shouted this kind of joke.
But somehow, Gu Yuan seemed to feel some emotion. He looked at Wu Ning and felt that this was not funny at all.
At the beginning, it was Zhou Ziyi who led the people from the 101st group to shout. People around him stopped and looked. Gradually, more and more people participated.
The phrase "The people in the 232nd Regiment are the most awesome" was shouted loudly. This burst of shouting lasted for ten minutes. Zhou Ziyi raised his hand and clenched it into a fist, and the shouting finally stopped.
He turned his face and looked towards the tower. He was silent for a long time and then left with others. Gu Yuan looked at Wu Ning. Wu Ning had also calmed down and walked with Gu Yuan on the tower, talking about the situation of the 232nd Regiment.
After hearing this, Gu Yuan was silent for a long time. He raised his eyelids and looked at Wu Ning and asked, "Are you afraid?"
"Afraid?" Wu Ning smiled,
"You will know when you come. At that time, you will not think about these things at all. If you are really going to die, you will feel relaxed. Gu Yuan, in fact, for the people of the demon-slaying army, those who survive will have to bear the burden More importantly, as our leader said, he hates himself for not dying." When he heard such words for the first time, Gu Yuan felt shocked in his heart.
At this time, Zhou Ziyi had already walked towards them. He was not surprised at all by Gu Yuan's arrival, but now his eyes were still red.
"coming?"
"Yes, here we come." Gu Yuan replied softly.
"It's good to be here..." Zhou Ziyi seemed to be at a loss for words, or maybe he hadn't calmed down yet. After a moment of silence, he asked again,
"By the way, are you okay, commander?" The commander he mentioned was naturally Zhong Wuchen. For Zhou Ziyi and other veterans of the Demon-Slaying Army, the Demon-Slaying Army will always have only one commander, and that is Zhong Wuchen.
Of course, they also recognized Li Siming. They knew that Li Siming was capable. He must be calling the commander-in-chief in person, but when Li Siming was not around, he would still add a surname to the title. Even Wu Ning, who had just joined the 101st regiment, had this habit. When talking to Gu Yuan, he also called Li Siming Commander Li.
And Li Siming never cared about this with them.
"Sir, it's okay," Gu Yuan said.
"Well..." Zhou Ziyi smiled,
"The commander-in-chief should be happy to know that we have captured Nile Peak." Although the demon-slaying army suffered a lot of casualties this time, if we can capture Nile Peak, these sacrifices will be worth it.
For generals and commanders, the strength of their troops is a bargaining chip, and they can obtain greater profits through fighting again and again. When necessary, they may even trade one life for another with their opponents. This sounds cruel, inhumane, and pitiable. If you don't control soldiers, you don't control wealth. When a handsome man puts everyone's lives at heart, it will only cause greater harm to his own side.
"By the way, Commander, Gu Yuan wanted to join our demon-slaying army, but Commander Li refused." Wu Ning suddenly said.
Of course he hoped that Gu Yuan could stay, and he believed that the Demon Slayer Army also needed Gu Yuan very much. Now that he saw Zhou Ziyi, he immediately had an idea!
Although Zhou Ziyi was only a leader in the Demon-Slaying Army, his tough-fighting style may have given him quite a lot of prestige in the Demon-Slaying Army. In addition, he was brought up by Zhong Wuchen when he was in the Demon-Slaying Army, so his words still carry a lot of weight.
In his opinion, if Zhou Ziyi could open his mouth on this matter, Li Siming might be able to save face.
"Commander Li...rejected?" Zhou Ziyi was not in a hurry to agree, but was a little surprised.
He saw the relationship between Gu Yuan and Li Siming clearly, and for a moment, he even doubted whether he heard it wrong.
But after calming down, he asked again: "Gu Yuan, what do you think?"
"When I get back, I will talk to Captain Li again." Gu Yuan said,
"Brother Zhou, please don't worry about this matter." Zhou Ziyi nodded. In fact, Wu Ning really overestimated him. Although Li Siming has always been easy to talk to everyone he met since he came to the Demon Slayer Army, this does not mean that the other person really has no temper and is easy to talk to.
Especially for this kind of thing, if he really spoke up, he would not be able to get off the stage. Gu Yuan needed to understand Li Siming better, especially Luo Siming's previous attitude, which made him feel that Zhou Ziyi would be in trouble if he left.
At this moment, someone suddenly trotted towards them.
"That's the messenger next to Commander Li." Wu Ning lowered his voice and whispered. Gu Yuan nodded.
When someone came up, Zhou Ziyi said with a smile: "Xiao Chen, what's wrong?" The young man named Xiao Chen had regular features and a square face. He said hello to Zhou Ziyi and then said to Gu Yuan: "Gu Yuan, the commander-in-chief wants to see you."
"Okay, please lead the way." Gu Yuan knew that Li Siming was thinking of an excuse to excuse himself. Wu Ning looked at Gu Yuan worriedly, not knowing what Li Siming would say next.
