Chapter 960.2: Smoke Signals Visible - Part 2
A few days later, the convoy arrived before the first checkpoint of the Northern Frontier Great Wall. Weng Quan rode up to the checkpoint, dismounted in one motion, took out the official document he carried with him, and handed it to a middle-aged deputy general.
The latter took it, glanced through it, then raised his head and said with a smile, “Much obliged, brother.”
Weng Quan chuckled. “No trouble at all. We are all contributing to the country. If anyone is more burdened, it would still be you all.”
The deputy general glanced at the endless line of carriages behind him and asked in a low voice, “This batch of military equipment is not ordinary, is it? In the past, when delivering military equipment, your warden faction was never assigned to escort it?”
Weng Quan shook his head and lowered his voice. “I definitely cannot speak of this matter, but there is one thing I can tell you, Elder Brother.”
The deputy general raised his brows and smiled. “Brother, speak quickly.”
Weng Quan did not beat around the bush and said plainly, “Do you know Great Sword Immortal Yu? He is in the convoy right now, escorting the military equipment to the Northern Frontier.”
“Great Sword Immortal Yu? You mean that great sword immortal who once headed south together with His Majesty?”
The deputy general sucked in a cold breath and immediately stopped asking further questions. When he looked at those carriages again, his gaze burned with intensity. “I just wonder if I will get a share of it.”
