Li Yunhao climbed up the city tower." A 30-meter-high wall is just child's play. The strongest defense of the Jade Gate Pass is steel weapons.”
Cheng Yaojin became more and more curious about Jade Gate Pass."The strongest weapon is that iron rod that can release muffled thunder? Can you lend me a look?"
A 98K could kill a three-year-old child, so he definitely couldn't lend it to Cheng Yaojin.
"No, I won't." Li Yunhao refused decisively.”
Cheng Yaojin decided to use his status to suppress Li Yunhao.""I am Duke Lu of the Great Tang, the Great General of the Left, and the hereditary governor of Puzhou. Can't I borrow a fire stick from you?
Li Yunhao said he wouldn't lend it,"Even if the emperor comes, he won't lend it."”
Cheng Yaojin's jaw dropped in shock." Li Yunhao, what do you mean by that? Lying to the sovereign is a capital crime. Your entire family will be exterminated."”
Li Yunhao interrupted Cheng Yaojin's words." Duke Lu, you misunderstood my meaning. That weapon is too powerful for ordinary people to control. I'm just worried that the Emperor will be in danger if he uses it."”
Cheng Yaojin was even more curious when he heard this.
"If a 16-year-old boy like you can control a weapon, the emperor can definitely do it too. I, Old Cheng, can even try.”
Li Yunhao saw that Cheng Yaojin was still unwilling to give up."I'll make a bet with you. If you can control that spear, I'll give it to you. If you can't control that spear, you'll lose the 500 cavalrymen you brought to me.”
Cheng Yaojin was very tempted when he heard the first half of the sentence. After all, the weapon called gun could kill a Vanguard Officer wearing an iron helmet from 200 meters away.
However, if he lost the bet with Li Yunhao, not only would he lose face, but he would also lose all 500 cavalrymen to Li Yunhao.
"I'll try the gun first before I bet with you."”
Li Yunhao waved his hand.”
Cheng Yaojin was thick-skinned.”
In the past, she had read that Cheng Yaojin was thick-skinned. Now that she had seen him, she realized that he was really not just any ordinary thick-skinned person.
While Li Yunhao and Cheng Yaojin were talking nonsense, the inspection room by the city gate began to collect the weapons of the 500 cavalrymen.
The 500 cavalrymen had to hand over their weapons and armor when they entered Jade Gate Pass. The food and money they brought were recorded in a book and placed in a bamboo basket.
Cheng Yaojin was very dissatisfied with Li Yunhao's strict control.
"This is the first time that I, Old Cheng, have seen so many rules in the border cities. When I enter the palace to see the emperor, I only have to hand in my weapons, but you even have to take off the soldiers 'armor.”
" The defenses of Jade Gate Pass are not as strong as the Imperial Palace," Li Yunhao replied matter-of-factly." It's necessary to be cautious. After all, caution is the best policy."”
Jade Gate Pass only had 300 soldiers, and collecting the weapons of Cheng Yaojin's men could reduce the risk of a sneak attack. Li Yunhao's life was closely linked to Jade Gate Pass.
Cheng Yaojin watched curiously as the soldiers entered the small house and came out with a small piece of paper in their hands.
He took a small piece of paper from a soldier's hand and was surprised to find that there was a portrait of the soldier on the paper. It looked exactly like a real person.
Then, he looked at the empty space on the left. It was filled with height, weight, age, address, and temporary number.
Cheng Yaojin ran to Li Yunhao and asked,"What is this thing called a temporary ID card?"”
Li Yunhao looked at Cheng Yaojin as if he was looking at a country bumpkin.
"This is the certificate of free movement in Jade Gate Pass. If you lose it, you will have to pay 1 tael of silver to make a new one. Otherwise, you will be treated as an illegal resident.”
Cheng Yaojin secretly clicked his tongue." An ordinary piece of paper costs 1 tael of silver. If 500 people lost their certificates, wouldn't I have to give you 500 taels of silver? Is that any different from robbing money?"”
Li Yunhao replied indifferently," The higher the compensation price, the more the person who has the certificate will cherish it. Most importantly, I robbed with reason and evidence. It would be a waste not to rob."”
Cheng Yaojin whispered to the soldiers to take care of their own certificates. 500 pieces of paper was 500 taels of silver. What they held in their hands was not paper but money.
Jade Gate Pass was Li Yunhao's territory. Cheng Yaojin didn't know Li Yunhao's background, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
From seeing Li Yunhao cooperate with Tuyuhun to seeing him kill the Vanguard Official 200 meters away.
The 30-meter-tall city wall and the steel weapons equipped by the guards of Jade Gate Pass were not things that an ordinary city mayor could obtain. Moreover, Li Yunhao was only 16 years old.
The various riddles of Jade Gate Pass made Cheng Yaojin, a bold but meticulous general with a rough appearance, even more cautious.
After the 500 soldiers had registered their identities, it was Li Yunhao's turn to register the 3000 Han slaves.
The 3000 slaves entered the examination room first, separated by a curtain.
Fan Lihua and Mo Xie sat behind the curtain, and the two of them drew the portrait of each person as quickly as possible.
After the slaves received their identification, they went to the pergola outside the house to put on shackles.
Ou Yezi's eldest disciple sat in the pergola, shackling the legs of every slave.
The fetters cast from alloy steel had a smooth surface, light weight, and thin width. They would not break the slave's ankles.
The general locked the fetters and asked the slave,"Walk a little and see if the fetters are comfortable."”
The slave was puzzled. Would the shackles still be comfortable?
The slave took two steps according to the general's request."The ice on my ankle is very cool and comfortable. It's not heavy at all. It's simply a piece of art.”
The general told the slave," Although the fetters are very light, their toughness is three times that of ordinary fetters. You can't even cut them with an axe.”
The slave didn't believe the general's words. He quickly went to another gathering point to queue up for green bean soup. Jade Gate Pass was really a strange place. The slave could actually drink green bean soup.
Cheng Yaojin, who was standing on the city wall, was shocked by the treatment of the slaves at Jade Gate Pass.
"Li Yunhao, aren't you being too prodigal? It's fine if you give the slaves green bean soup to relieve the heat, but can you lock the slaves with shackles as thin as a pinky finger?”
Li Yunhao shouted from the top of the city tower,"General, bring two pairs of shackles up. Duke Lu wants to test your skills."”
