As the highest commander in the Northern Lands, You Aotian had no problem getting a travel pass for Li Yueming.
After seeing the travel pass and the virtual identity on it, the Western Garrison Army soldier’s eyebrows relaxed a little.”So you’re a brother from the Northern Battlefront Army. What brings you here? Are there any specific documents?
Li Yueming had already prepared an excuse beforehand. “General You asked me to check on the situation of our allies. If necessary, we might be able to help!”
The Northern Army and the Western Army were both border armies in the northwest.
Although they didn’t have much interaction on the official level.
However, there was still some friendship in private.
It was common for the two armies to exchange what they needed.
Therefore, the soldiers at the gate quickly accepted Li Yueming’s excuse.
Since it was a private visit, it was normal that there were no specific documents.
After confirming that Li Yueming was not someone with ulterior motives, the soldiers of the West Garrison Army relaxed a lot.”Please wait a moment, brothers of the Northern Battlefront Army. We have to report this matter first.” Li Yueming had no objections to this.
His purpose here was to take advantage of his father. Before he had a clear understanding of the situation of the Western Garrison Army, he naturally could not easily expose his true identity.
One of the soldiers on guard duty left, probably to report the situation to the higher-ups.
Another soldier helped Li Yueming tie the spiritual horse to the temporary stable set up below the city wall.
It was also at this time that Li Yueming noticed that there was a long queue of people delivering food at the side door not far away from the West Garrison Pass. For this reason, the West Garrison Army even specially posted a notice on the city wall, telling the people not to send food and to keep the food for themselves for the winter.
However, it still couldn’t stop the people from burning with enthusiasm.
The food delivery team was packed for several days.
The West Garrison Army was also helpless. They couldn’t possibly ask the other party to carry the food back!
Therefore, they could only send people to collect the food of these people.
In order to repay the people’s enthusiasm, the West Garrison Army also sent soldiers to cook porridge for the people who delivered food 24 hours a day at the city gate, ensuring that they could have a hot bite when they returned after delivering the food.
Li Yueming watched the people coming and going without saying a word.
About ten minutes later, the soldiers informed him that the higher-ups of the Western Garrison Army had allowed him to move around in the Western Garrison Pass.
However, the range of his activities was limited to the city.
The high pass did not allow any unrelated personnel to approach.
After passing through the thick city wall that was dozens of meters wide, Li Yueming entered the West Garrison City.
Because Li Yueming’s reason for entering the city was to see if there was any place to exchange what they needed, there was a West Garrison Army Quartermaster following him.
However, this wasn’t something worth mentioning to Li Yueming.
After all, the more difficult part of the plan was to enter the Western Garrison Pass. As long as they entered the Western Garrison Pass, with Li Yueming’s personal strength, as long as he didn’t court death, there would basically be no safety issues.
A mere quartermaster naturally could not restrain him.
Soon, Li Yueming disappeared from the eyes of the quartermaster.
The quartermaster thought he was seeing things.
When he finally came back to his senses, his first reaction was that something was wrong.
He hurriedly ran over to report.
However, in the next few days, even if the soldiers in the city searched the town, they couldn’t find any trace of Li Yueming.
Nowadays, it was not uncommon for cultivators to act as spies and go deep into the enemy’s rear to collect information.
Most of the time, the party being probed was unable to guard against it.
If the invading cultivators were powerful enough, ordinary armies would not be able to find them even if they knew about the invasion.
Therefore, in order to deal with this situation, the elite military forces of each country had their own anti-spy plans.
The Western Garrison Army naturally had one as well.
As long as the soldiers completed their tasks normally, even the powerful Cultivation practitioners could only gather some rough information.
The truly important information would be hidden away.
After a round of fruitless searching, the Western Garrison Army could only give up.
About half a month later, another war broke out between the Western Garrison Army and the Qin Army.
In this battle, Li Yueming hid at the edge of the battlefield and witnessed everything. He even saw his cheap father patrolling the entire battlefield on the city wall.
The Western Garrison Army’s combat strength was indeed very strong!
Relying on their military strength, the West Garrison Army withstood the attacks of hundreds of thousands of Qin soldiers for three days and three nights, forcing them back.
If they had the same number of soldiers, the Qin army might not be able to defeat the West Garrison Army.
One must know that out of the 12 armies that possessed the Military Soul, five legions had their entire forces deployed in the West Garrison Pass. Apart from the ordinary soldiers, there were 500,000 soldiers that possessed the Military Soul!!!
And this was because the Qin army was unable to move in full force under the Great Tang’s control.
On the Great Zhou’s side, out of the 300,000 troops in the Western Garrison Fortress, only 150,000 of them were the Western Garrison Army with the military soul. The remaining 150,000 were mixed ordinary troops.
Under such circumstances, even if they occupied a natural barrier, it would not be easy to contend with the Qin army.
After the battle ended, Li Ming still didn’t say anything.
He roughly estimated the combat power of the Qin army and the West Garrison Army, and then tested the situation of the West Garrison Pass through infinite deduction. In the end, he came to the conclusion that if the Qin army really attacked without caring about anything, the West Garrison Pass would definitely be in danger.
After confirming this.
He did not waste any time.
They snuck into the outskirts of the Western Garrison Army’s camp in the dark. After waiting patientlv for a long time, he stopped Li Nanfenz, who was about to patrol the city wall in the middle of the night.
Looking at the young man who suddenly appeared in front of him, Li Nanfeng subconsciously pulled out the sword at his waist. However, after taking a closer look at Li Yuemings appearance, he was stunned. He pursed his lips and did not know what to say.
Li Yueming glanced around and made a gesture to keep quiet. Then, he brought Li Nanfeng to a place not far from the camp.
After confirming that there was no one around, Li Yueming said,””Dad, come with me!”
Li Nanfeng’s head had yet to turn around.
Hearing Li Yueming’s words, he subconsciously rubbed his eyes. After he finally came back to his senses and confirmed that it was not an illusion, he said with a trembling voice,””Son, is that you?”
Li Yueming nodded.
The father and son had not seen each other for more than ten years.
After Li Yueming left home, Li Nanfeng returned to the army not long after.
Li Ruxing and Li Ruyue were at the Cultivator Academy.
They would only see each other a few times in half a month.
However, Li Nanfeng had always been stationed in the West Garrison Pass. He was afraid of the imperial court and the emperor, and did not dare to return even during festivals.
Both father and son communicated through letters.
Now that they had suddenly met, Li Nanfeng didn’t even recognize Li Yueming at the first moment.
His son had grown taller.
He was also very handsome.
He still looked like a teenager.
After confirming that the young man in front of him was his son, Li Nanfeng’s voice trembled even more as he said, “Why are you here? Outside the Western Garrison Fortress, there were Qin soldiers everywhere. It was very dangerous!”
Li Yueming smiled and said,” Dad, I’ve grown up a long time ago. My current strength might not be weaker than yours. Don’t underestimate me!””
Li Nanfeng was stunned and subconsciously wanted to laugh.
However, he remembered that he was still in the military camp and should not be loud.
He could only scratch his head awkwardly.” Let’s not talk about this. It’s not convenient here. Wait for my father to deal with the military matters. When he’s free, I’ll treat you to a drink!””
Li Yueming nodded.
It would be easier for men to communicate with alcohol.
Besides, they hadn’t seen each other for more than ten years. Li Yueming really wanted to sit down and have a good chat with his cheap father.
After setting the time and location, Li Nanfeng returned to the army.
As a high-ranking general of the Western Garrison Army, Li Nanfeng had a routine every day. His sudden disappearance could cause chaos in the entire army.
If they wanted to leave the defense line, they had to explain clearly to their subordinates.
Less than an hour later.
Li Nanfeng appeared in front of Li Yueming with several jars of wine and some dishes.
It was also at this time that Li Yueming realized that compared to more than ten years ago, his father had a few more hideous scars on his body. He didn’t know if it was because of time or his injuries, but his originally straight back was a little hunched.
Li Yueming’s emotions were extremely complicated. He was even more glad that he had come in time. Otherwise, if it had dragged on for a few more years.
