We have fought to the Arctic Circle, and you want me to inherit the throne?

Privately keeping armor has been a serious crime in all dynasties!

Historical records have a saying that "one set of armor is equivalent to three crossbows", which means that the crime of privately possessing a set of armor is equivalent to privately possessing three sets of bows and crossbows.

If you secretly possess three or more sets of armor, you can be sentenced to death.

Looking through martial arts novels, there are heroes everywhere carrying swords and knives, but apart from generals and soldiers, you can hardly see any martial artists wearing armor.

The reason for this law is that armor was too powerful in the era of cold weapons. A soldier wearing armor and holding a weapon could easily slaughter a group of ordinary people.

"How many sets of armor are there?" Li Che asked in a deep voice.

Uncle Yang replied, "Seventy sets of two-stage iron armor, twenty sets of fish-scale armor, five sets of chain mail, and some leather and iron plates that haven't been assembled yet."

Li Che suddenly took a breath of cold air.

Nearly a hundred sets of armor?

Fortunately, I acted quickly at that time and killed the man without wasting time talking to them.

In order to make it easier to enter the city, neither he nor his men wore armor.

If those tooth dealers put on armor and attacked in groups, I would probably be killed in the police station.

"When His Majesty ascended the throne, he ordered the collection of all armor in the world. The Wang family secretly hoarded the armor, perhaps with the intention of rebellion." Uncle Yang said again.

Li Che thought about it and shook his head; "Not necessarily. Aristocratic families have always been like this. They like to hide good things, even if they don't need them. What a bunch of idiots!"

Li Che snorted coldly, his words full of disdain.

Hearing his own prince speak of the aristocratic family in this way, Uncle Yang was speechless.

If you think about it, the Li family is the largest family in the world. Before he ascended the throne, the Li family was also a big family in Longxi!

Not to mention that Li Che's mother was a princess of the previous dynasty, which made her come from an even more prominent family.

Li Che, who has two of the most noble bloodlines, is extremely disgusted with aristocratic families.

"Put away all the armor. These are the Wang family's leverage." Li Che ordered. "By the way, how much silver did you find?"

"About fifty thousand taels," Uncle Yang replied.

"Mr. Duo?" Li Che widened his eyes.

Fifty thousand taels? Is that how much money can be made from human trafficking?

You know, Daqing's tax revenue this year is only more than 20 million taels, and the Sixth Prince has only saved up 520,000 taels over the years.

"There are indeed 50,000 taels. This should be the Wang family's hidden treasure."

"Hahaha!" Li Che grinned, "Take them all away, take them all away, it turns out that robbing money is faster."

If I can rob my way through like this, I will probably become the richest man in the country by the time I get outside the Great Wall!

"After all, this is the Wang family's money. If we take it away, they might report it to the emperor." Uncle Yang said worriedly.

"What are you afraid of!" Li Che grinned wickedly. "These idiots put their money and armor together and barely had time to cover them up. How could they possibly expose themselves?"

"Such a huge fortune must have been ill-gotten gains. This king is acting in the name of justice!"

"I'm afraid these idiots from the Wang family won't be able to sleep."

Li Che unceremoniously took all the property among the people and led the slave team out of the city.

Hundreds of people formed a long line. The common people and soldiers did not dare to stop them and gave way.

In the crowd, Chang Ningxue stared at Li Che's receding back, her beautiful eyes becoming brighter and brighter.

"Miss?" the woman in black reminded softly.

Chang Ningxue came back to her senses: "What's the matter?"

"Miss, do you still want to kill the Sixth Prince? If so, then please return home early. I believe the Duke and his wife have been waiting for a long time."

"Who said I won't kill him?" Chang Ningxue replied, "This Sixth Prince is quite interesting. I plan to wait and see for a few more days."

The woman in black couldn't help but sigh helplessly when she saw her young lady looking so interested.

I'm afraid my young lady won't be willing to go home for a while.

This was the look on the young lady's face when she saw the old man dancing with a spear. Since then, she has been obsessed with martial arts until today.

And now, this Sixth Prince could actually arouse the young lady's curiosity.

But... what about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? My lady is about to become the Crown Princess.

. . . . . .

But Li Che led his men out of the city and joined the main force.

He Conglong stayed behind in the army and hurried forward to greet him, bowing and saluting.

"No need to be so polite." Li Che waved his hand and pointed to the slaves behind him, "Find them something to eat."

"Yes."

He Conglong responded and quickly ordered his men to distribute dry food and water bags to the slaves.

The aroma of food wafted in the air, and the slaves carefully took the food and devoured it ravenously, as if it were the most precious delicacy in the world.

Li Che's eyelids twitched. It had been a long time since these people had eaten. They all looked like hungry ghosts.

He quickly called over a few guards and said, "Give out less food. If you haven't eaten for a long time, wolfing it down like this will kill you!"

Ancient people had very little common sense.

If a person is hungry for a long time, the stomach will contract.

Overeating at this time may cause vital organ failure or even death.

The guards took the order and left. Li Che called He Conglong over again and asked, "How are you doing with the task I assigned to you?"

He Conglong grinned, "I've had my brothers searching all afternoon and have found over thirty craftsmen, including doctors, blacksmiths, and stonemasons, all of whom are willing to serve Your Highness."

"Didn't you tell them where we were going?" Li Che glanced at him.

"It depends on what you said." He Conglong touched the back of his head embarrassedly and said with a wry smile: "If I tell them where I'm going, they won't agree no matter how much money I offer them."

"You are quite clever, boy!" Li Che scolded with a smile, "Well done."

They are all skilled people and definitely don't want to suffer outside the Great Wall.

For these special talents, we need to use some special means. At worst, we can increase their salaries as compensation in the future.

Li Che asked again: "How is the food purchase going?"

"It's a good supply, enough for us to use for seven days."

"That's good." Li Che thought for a moment, "I won't replenish food for the next few days. I'll replenish it after we pass Mangdang Mountain."

"Mangdang Mountain..." He Conglong looked thoughtful when he heard this.

Li Che glanced at him: "Why, are you familiar with that place?"

"I used to pass by here often when I was selling salt. The bandits there were very rampant and often robbed passing caravans. Sometimes they even dared to rob government officials." He Conglong said truthfully.

"Then how did you deal with it?"

"Just show your knives and fight them." He Conglong smiled sheepishly. "The Salt Gang under us are no pushovers. We even had over twenty crossbows back then. Ordinary bandits would just turn around and run away if they encountered us."

Li Che nodded.

Now that he has so many people under his command, ordinary bandits naturally dare not cause trouble.

But what if the ones we meet are not ordinary bandits?
