The further north you go, the more desolate it becomes.
Listening to the churning sound of the train, Gu Yuan turned to look at the scenery outside. He also deeply realized the importance Guanlong Mountain paid this time. Almost every ten kilometers, he would see someone outside patrolling the route, but this time This tense atmosphere was isolated by the dark iron sheet, and a hearty laughter could be heard even from across a carriage.
It was a man named Wang Congrong. When he saw him for the first time, Gu Yuan almost couldn't help but call him uncle. He had dark and cracked skin, white temples, heavy bags under his eyes, but his eyes were like torches, and he had a murderous aura. .
It was only after hearing what Cui Yingxiong said that he learned that Wang Congrong was only forty-eight this year, but he looked more like an old man in his sixties. The other person was just an ordinary person, and the name was very appropriate, as if he had opened the door when he was named. Like a life simulator, Wang Congrong joined the army at the age of eighteen. It was difficult for him to develop well as a non-academic person, but he relied on decisiveness, wit and outstanding ability to reach his current position.
The soldiers he brought this time were under his command. Gu Yuan also noticed that the eyes of those soldiers with iron will were full of admiration when they saw Wang Congrong.
Moreover, Wang Congrong's temperament is quite similar to Elder Yun.
At this moment, Gu Yuan heard footsteps.
"How is it? Is the scenery outside nice?" Meng Xinshu said with a chuckle.
"Well, it's pretty good."
Meng Xinshu sat in front of Gu Yuan, also turned his face and looked out the window, and said cheerfully: "Lao Wang has a more bold personality, isn't it a little too noisy?"
Gu Yuan quickly waved his hand.
"It's good that this doesn't happen, otherwise the atmosphere would be a bit too dull."
After a pause, Gu Yuan continued: "I just suddenly got on the train, and I still felt a little emotional."
He still clearly remembered the last time he got on a train, what he had experienced, and what changes it had made in his life.
The starting point of everything is on the train.
Meng Xinshu must have known something about Gu Yuan, and also knew what the other person meant at this moment, and he was also filled with emotion.
What he sighed was that it was really amazing that Gu Yuan could grow to this point in such a short period of time.
Looking at the entire Daxia Kingdom, I'm afraid I can't find anyone in a situation like Gu Yuan's. Even a true leader like Zhong Wuchen and Li Siming would have to be impressed when he saw Gu Yuan's talent and growth rate.
"This time is also a special situation. Trains are the most suitable means of transportation. To be honest, I haven't taken a train in many years and I am really not used to it."
Meng Xinshu paused and continued, "The bad news is that even if it's a train, we won't be able to ride it for long. When we get out of Qimen Pass, the train won't start."
Gu Yuan nodded, indicating that he was ready.
"It's about three hundred kilometers from Qimen Pass to Demon Slayer City. That part of the road is the most difficult to walk."
Gu Yuan smiled and said, "I know, I have been to Northern Xinjiang before."
"This time is much more dangerous than the last time you went to Northern Xinjiang." Meng Xinshu said seriously.
Although he also hopes that everyone can relax a little and not be tense all the time, others can relax, but he and Gu Yuan must not relax and must be alert.
"Then we haven't received any news so far?" Gu Yuan asked.
"There is no news. The demon clan is still very secretive in doing things. If we can really capture the news, we will not have a headache. The demon-slaying army will solve the problem first." Meng Xinshu said with a smile.
Gu Yuan couldn't help but laugh.
It seems so.
If they could really know when the demon clan was going to take action and how many demons were coming, the demon-slaying army could eliminate the crisis before them, so why would they be needed?
"However, we don't have to worry too much." Meng Xinshu continued, "There is also Demon Slaying City in northern Xinjiang, and Li Siming is watching over it. Even if the demon clan really wants to stumbling upon us on the road, it will not cause trouble. Making too much noise.
Last time, it was entirely due to our lack of preparation that those bastards took advantage of the situation. This kind of thing will never happen again. "
Seeing Meng Xinshu's confident look, Gu Yuan felt a little relieved.
After the two briefly chatted for a few words, they got up at the same time and went to the next car.
Wang Congrong stood up and waved to Gu Yuan, insisting that he sit opposite him.
"Come on, let's drink some!"
Gu Yuan looked at Wang Congrong and then at Meng Xinshu beside him, thinking to himself, is it true that no one cares about this?
Gu Yuan didn't care. He wouldn't get drunk no matter how much he drank, and it wouldn't even have any impact on him.
But Wang Congrong is neither a warrior nor extraordinary, and at this juncture, can he still drink?
"Boy, don't be nervous. We can drink whatever we want. I asked you to drink it! No one cares about you!" Wang Congrong tapped the table with his fingers.
The way Gu Yuan looked at Meng Xinshu just now seemed to be misunderstood by the other party.
When Meng Xinshu heard this, he shook his head helplessly.
"Well, if you want to drink... just drink it, just to warm yourself up."
Gu Yuan was helpless and had a drink with Wang Congrong.
It can be seen that Wang Congrong is now a person with status and status in Daxia, but he is still very down-to-earth. He took out two plastic bags from the backpack he carried with him.
After opening it, one is fried peanuts with salt, which is a little burnt, and the other is pea pods cooked with salt water. They are both good dishes to go with wine.
"Oh, these are all good things. I made them all myself. Boy, please try them!"
"Yes..." Gu Yuan smiled helplessly and simply started drinking along with Wang Congrong.
Wang Congrong's drinking capacity was indeed very good. It didn't take him long to finish a small bottle of wine, and he was also very satisfied with Gu Yuan. The two of them went back and forth, but neither was drunk.
"What a boy! I haven't met an opponent for a long time. I didn't expect you to drink so well at such a young age. Haha, good! I like you like this!"
Meng Xinshu, Cui Yingxiong and others on the side were speechless.
With Gu Yuan's current level of cultivation, how could alcohol affect him? The most he would do is want to pee. Not to mention a few bottles of wine. It wouldn't be a big deal even if he emptied the winery...
So, Meng Xinshu quickly gave Gu Yuan a wink, and the latter understood it. After drinking two more cups, he immediately fell asleep and looked like he had drunk too much. Wang Congrong then gave up and took out the winner's cup. gesture, pinched the waist and said a few words.
"It looked good just now, but now it's gone. It's boring. Forget it, let's just stop here..."
About half an hour later, Wang Congrong also fell asleep.
Gu Yuan had no choice but to quickly return to the car next door and let out a long sigh of relief.
Meng Xinshu also gave Gu Yuan a thumbs up, feeling that this boy's reaction speed was very fast and he could understand what he meant with just one look.
"Lao Wang has a very stubborn temper. If you really drink with him, you will never stop drinking him, unless you drink him down completely." Meng Xinshu said with a smile.
"This... isn't alcohol banned in the army?" Gu Yuan asked doubtfully.
"Lao Wang is different." Meng Xinshu said, "It's complicated to talk about. To put it simply, one year, Lao Wang was on a mission overseas. He was still a young man at the time and was already in dire straits. The three of them Being surrounded by more than a hundred people was a certain death situation.
As a result, this old boy just drank two kilograms of liquor, led two others and killed more than twenty people. This happened twice, so no one cared whether he drank or not. "
Gu Yuan was also happy when he heard this.
"Actually, people like Lao Wang, who can reach this stage today, really crawled out of the sea of blood. Even though they are just ordinary people, they are very capable." Meng Xinshu said with a serious face, "He is very important to us. These people don't know much about you, and naturally they don't know your abilities. Maybe they just think of you as a junior because of your young age."
"I am originally a junior." Gu Yuan said with a smile.
Meng Xinshu felt that Wang Congrong's attitude towards Gu Yuan was a little too casual, but Gu Yuan didn't think it was a big deal. His resume and identity deserved Gu Yuan's respect from the bottom of his heart.
In particular, the other party was still an ordinary person, but he did many things that extraordinary warriors could not do.
"Lao Wang has a lot of combat experience. We really need such a person." Meng Xinshu looked at the time and said, "Probably tonight, the train will have to stop."
"Um."
"Take advantage of this moment to rest for a while." Meng Xinshu said and stood up. "When the train stops, even if you want to rest, you won't have the time."
Seeing Meng Xinshu about to leave, Gu Yuan quickly called him.
"Meng Xingjun, wait a minute, I have an idea."
"Huh?" Meng Xinshu was a little confused.
Seeing Gu Yuan's bright eyes, he smiled happily and sat in front of him again.
"Then let's talk about it. What's wrong with you?"
He was genuinely curious about Gu Yuan's next words.
He knew that Gu Yuan always had some wild ideas, and those ideas would indeed have very good results.
This time, Gu Yuan was called in to escort the supplies. In addition to Gu Yuan's strength, he also valued this boy's ability and cleverness to adapt to changes.
But what Gu Yuan said next made Meng Xinshu fall into deep thought.
"Is this... really possible?"
"I think there's nothing wrong with it, and it's indeed safer this way." Gu Yuan said.
"But in this case, your situation will be more dangerous." Meng Xinshu said seriously.
"It doesn't matter, I will take precautions." Gu Yuan said, "Don't worry, Meng Xingjun, it's not the first day we have met. In fact, there is no danger. I have plenty of ways to protect myself. Besides, didn't you also say Are you there? Even if you want to avoid the eyes and ears of the demon-slaying army, they won’t be able to make much noise."
After a brief thought, Meng Xinshu nodded.
"Okay, then do as you say!"
