He looked at Li Yueming who was standing in the snow.
For a moment, the eyes of the two women could not help but turn red.
It had been nearly ten years since the three of them last met. At that time, Li Yueming had just turned fourteen.
For so long, the siblings had been communicating by writing letters. Now that they finally met again, it even made the two women feel as if they had been separated by a lifetime.
Especially Li Ruyue, who was more emotionally fragile, her eyes turned red at the first moment. After she approached, she carefully held Li Yueming’s hand. “Little brother, I haven’t seen you for so many years. You’ve grown so tall!’”‘ Li Ruxing was also a little moved, and her eyes could not help but turn red.
However, Li Ruxing was more cheerful and did not like this kind of crying greeting.
In order not to lose his composure in front of Li Yueming, Li Ruxing turned around and said to his elder sister Li Ruyue,””Sister, you’re wrong again. This little brother has never suffered a loss. He’s living very comfortably in this G.o.dforsaken place!”
Li Ruyue wiped the tears off her face.
After taking a few steps back, he sized up Li Yueming and nodded,””lt’s good that he can protect himself. I heard that the Northlands are desolate, poor, and backward. I’m worried that he won’t have enough to eat and wear!”
The two sisters spoke one after another. After a long while, they finally stabilized the emotions in each other’s hearts.
In the past few years, Li Yueming and the two sisters often wrote to each other.
Therefore, they had a certain understanding of Li Yueming’s current situation.
However, there were some things that couldn’t be described in the letter.
The two of them didn’t know much about Li Yueming’s current situation.
After the two of them had completely stabilized their emotions, Li Yueming finally had a chance to speak. He comforted them,” Alright, alright, stop crying. You’re my sister, not my mother…” Besides, your little brother here is doing well in the Northern Lands. I’m about to become a local tyrant!”
“Wait a few more years. If the situation stabilizes, I’ll bring my father over. At that time, our family can reunite in the North!”
The few of them exchanged pleasantries on horseback.
The unfamiliarity that they had not seen each other for many years became thicker than blood in these few minutes of small talk.
After chatting for a while.
Li Yueming brought Li Ruyue and Li Ruxing to North Glacier Town.
On the way, Li Ruxing and Li Ruyue listened to Li Yueming briefly introduce the situation of the Star Moon Army and Northern Ice River Town.
When he heard that the Starmoon Army had grown to 200,000 troops and that Northern Ice River Town had 500,000 permanent residents, he was shocked.
Li Ruyue and Li Ruxing’s mouths were wide open.
Although this was the first time the two of them had come to Northern Glacier Town, they were no strangers to it.
Many years ago, Li Yueming had revealed the situation of Northern Glacier Town to the two sisters in letters.
If they remembered correctly.
A few years ago, when Li Yueming wrote to them, there should be less than 3,000 permanent residents in North Glacier Town. Even if the floating population was included, there were less than 10,000 people. It belonged to Border Town among Border Towns.
It had only been a few years.
Back then, that small town had already become a super metropolis with a permanent population of 500,000?
If Li Yueming didn’t make such a solemn promise.
There was no need to lie to them.
They would probably suspect that Li Yueming was here to engage in human trafficking.
Of course, even so.
When Li Yueming mentioned these numbers, Li Ruxing and Li Ruyue couldn’t help but have doubts in their hearts.
After all, the two of them weren’t like the traditional saying that ‘a woman without talent is virtuous’ from a humble family.
Whether it was his eldest sister, Li Ruyue, or his second sister, Li Ruxing, they had dabbled in all kinds of miscellaneous books.
Her horizons were not something that ordinary women could compare to.
Therefore, the two of them were very clear about the significance of the population and the number of soldiers that Li Yueming described.
It was precisely because of this that the two of them were so shocked and puzzled.
Even if they smashed their heads open, they couldn’t imagine how Li Yueming had created such a huge country in such a short time.
Especially after they saw the outline of Northern Glacier Town in the mist.
The shock and doubt in his heart could not be any greater.
After a while, Li Ruxing took the lead and asked,””Brother…None of your business…ls this the remote town you’re managing now?”
Actually, what she wanted to say was, you call this a remote town?
However, due to the lack of elegance in his words, he swallowed it back when it reached his mouth.
Li Yueming touched his nose and said,” Ah, it’s actually because we’ve taken in a few more refugees. The town has become a little bigger!’”‘
Li Ruxing was speechless.
This was called a little too big?
If she hadn’t just come out of the largest city in the north, Zhenbei City…
He knew the normal situation of the northern cities.
He might really believe it now.
But now, Li Ruxing obviously didn’t believe a single word.
One had to know that the largest city in the north, Zhenbei City, only had a population of a million. At a glance, it was not even as developed as the current Northern Glacier Town.
Judging from the density of the population, North Ice River Town was several streets ahead of Zhenbei City.
The outline of Northern Glacier Town could now be seen.
If it wasn’t for the snow and the cold wind, she would have thought that she had returned to the central plains of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
