nChapter 432: A New Path, Northern Glacier Town!_3

nTranslator: 549690339

nHalf a month later, the 5,000 spiritual horses that You Aotian had promised were delivered.

nAt the same time, the imperial court also sent a secret letter from the emperor. They were very curious about Li Yueming’s method of training the new army and said that they should not make it public. The emperor would do his best to support him in secret.

nThis was both good and bad news for Li Yueming.

nAfter all, the emperor was like a knife hanging over Li Yueming and the Li family.

nIt was fine if he didn’t fall, but if he did, it was very likely that all of Li Yueming’s plans would fail.

nAfter receiving the secret order.

nThe 5,000 soldiers in Zhenbei City silently disappeared one night.

nWhen he woke up the next day, You Aotian had already changed his army.

nThe news caused a huge discussion in the Northern Battlefront Army.

nAfter all, this was a troop of more than 5,000 people. Wouldn’t it be shocking if they disappeared so mysteriously under normal circumstances?

nHowever, this discussion was quickly suppressed by the higher-ups.

nMany generals and soldiers had sensed the unfathomable aura and stopped the idea of investigating.

n.0.

nUnder such circumstances.

nLi Yueming brought the five thousand scout battalion to a town in the north called the Northern Ice River.

nAs the name suggested, the reason why Northern Ice River Town was named was because of the river that flowed down from the extremely cold snow mountain.

nBecause the rapid flow of water was often mixed with many ice cubes, it was also called the Northern Ice River.

nSince they were already close to the Hundred Thousand Mountains, it was naturally impossible for Northern Glacier Town to be that wealthy. The population of the town was less than 10,000, and most of them were floating people.

nThere were only about two to three thousand local people stationed here.

nThe reason why it was so extreme was that a large-scale beast tide would erupt in the Hundred Thousand Mountains every few years.

nAs one of the towns closest to the Ten Thousand Mountains, North Glacier Town was affected almost every time.

nUnder such circumstances, it was already considered a very prosperous place to have a few thousand permanent residents.

nAs for the other 8,000-plus floating population.

nExcept for a small number of criminals who had been sent by the Central Plains to the cold and bitter lands to be tortured, most of the others were hunters and herb gatherers who had come for money.

nAlthough the Hundred Thousand Mountains was famous for being a forbidden zone for life.

nHowever, the more dangerous the place, the more treasures there would be.

nCountless spirit herbs and rare animals grew in the mountains.

nMany of these plants and animals had special requirements for their growing environment and climate.

nHerbalists only needed to pick some spirit herbs and sell them, and they could earn thousands of times the price difference.

nHunters were the same. If they hunted some uncommon animals and brought them to the Central Plains, they could make hundreds of times the profit.

nIt was enough for the family to eat and drink for a few years.

nOriginally, Northern Ice River Town did not have an administrative department. There were only about 300 soldiers in charge of managing taxes. And now, Li Yueming had led more than 5,000 scouts to such a remote town.

nNaturally, it caused a huge commotion.

nSeeing the black mass of armored soldiers, the first reaction of the residents was to hide in their houses.

nHe only left a crack in the door or window to secretly observe the situation outside.

nIn this desolate and remote land, it was already at the edge of the Great Zhou’s administrative jurisdiction.

nNaturally, this group of residents did not have much of a sense of identity with the Great Zhou.

nTherefore, he was now looking at Li Yueming and the others with vigilance.

nMore than 300 Great Zhou soldiers stationed in North Ice River Town came out to welcome him.

nAlthough he had already received the transfer order.

nBut now, they saw that Zhenbei City had really mobilized over 5,000 elite soldiers on spiritual horses and wearing armor.

nThe centurion leading the 300 soldiers of Northern Ice River Town couldn’t help but rub his eyes.

nGood fellow…

nThey actually sent troops to this godforsaken place?

nIt was as if the sun had risen from the west!

nAfter confirming that he was not mistaken, the hundred households knelt down from afar.

nWhen Li Yueming and the others approached, he kowtowed three times and said, “”1 am Cai Yue, the centurion of Dingfeng City in the northern army of my town. I have been ordered to guard North Ice River Town.”

nCai Yue was wearing tattered armor and looked to be in her fifties.

nThe 300 soldiers behind him were even more miserable.

nHer cotton jacket was covered in patches, and her face and hands were covered in frostbite.

nIf they were not soldiers, they would probably be recognized as refugees.

nLife was tough!

nAt this moment, Li Yueming was riding a tall horse, wearing a special general’s armor with a layer of mink fur coat inside. He looked like a young master from a wealthy family.

nStaring at the figure under his feet, Li Yueming swung his whip and said, “”1 can’t stand to see anyone live a miserable life. Men, give Cai Tingchang two cotton coats!”
