I have already established my power and prestige, so how did Li Shimin come back to life?

Li Zhi dismounted from his horse, his movements looking slightly tired. He took out the pass given by Li Chengqian from his arms and passed it to the Xianyang city guard standing at the city gate.

The guard took the document and carefully examined it. After a moment, he raised his head slightly and said calmly, "Your Highness, Prince of Jin, you cannot enter Xianyang on horseback without a riding permit from Xianyang City."

After saying this, he paused slightly, then continued in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "If you need it, we can call a carriage for you. Of course, the cost of the carriage will also need to be borne by Your Highness, Prince Jin."

When Li Zhi heard this, he was slightly stunned, then he widened his eyes in disbelief and stared at the guard.

I am the great King of Jin, but when I arrived in Xianyang City, I was harassed by this small guard and had to pay for the carriage out of my own pocket. How can this be justified?

He really had not expected that there would be such strange rules in Xianyang City.

However, this is his royal brother's territory, so he didn't dare show his displeasure.

All the good things in the world come from Xianyang, and Li Zhi also wants to go and see them.

Some weird rules are understandable.

But this is too embarrassing.

The guards behind Li Zhi could no longer contain their rage. They suddenly took a step forward and shouted angrily at the Xianyang City guard, "How dare you! In front of His Highness the Prince of Jin! How dare you say such outrageous words! What is your punishment?"

The guard's eyes were wide open, filled with anger.

The guards of Xianyang City remained calm and composed.

But this shout from Li Zhi's guard caused the surrounding Xianyang city guards to move quickly and in an orderly manner.

They slowly and silently surrounded Li Zhi and his group, instantly forming an invisible force of oppression.

Li Zhi was shocked when he saw this.

The guards of Xianyang City are so well-trained that they should not be underestimated.

If I let the guards run wild here, I'm afraid something might happen.

Thinking of this, Li Zhi's face immediately showed a faint smile. He raised his hand gently and said softly to the guards: "Step back. Follow the rules wherever you are."

After saying this, he turned to look at the guard and asked calmly, "How much is the fare for a carriage?"

The guard raised his eyes slightly, glanced at Li Zhi calmly, and replied slowly, "Your Highness, the Prince of Jin, the carriages have different decorations, so naturally the prices are also different. The most expensive is 100 strings of cash, and the cheapest is 2 strings of cash."

Li Zhi was shocked when he heard this. He couldn't help but exclaimed, "What did you say? A hundred strings of cash? Do you know how many horses you can buy with a hundred strings of cash? Just riding in a carriage costs a hundred strings of cash. Are you guys in Xianyang robbing people?"

His voice trembled slightly with excitement, and he was puzzled by the high price.

The Xianyang City guard shook his head slightly and patiently explained, "Your Highness, Prince Jin, you may not know that this carriage has always been priced this way."

"The one-time price lasts for three days. If you want to renew, you just need to pay another fee after three days."

"If you want to save money, you can walk into Xianyang City. As for the horse, we will take good care of it and bring it to you when you leave the city."

It would be futile to continue arguing with the guard; it would just be a waste of time.

Moreover, if I persist here, it may damage my reputation as the King of Jin if it gets out.

So, he sighed helplessly and said, "Just give me one at a normal price."

"Someone give me money!"

The guard quickly responded, "Okay, Your Highness, the normal price is twenty strings of cash, which is not expensive. I'll arrange it right away."

When Li Zhi heard the price of twenty strings of cash, he felt a sharp pain in his heart.

But it's hard to refute.

All his annual income was only forty strings of cash.

Now this expense is almost going to consume his savings for half a year.

But everything has been arranged. As a prince, how can he go back on his word and make a fool of himself?

He gritted his teeth and stared at the Xianyang guard in front of him, deeply engraving the guard's face in his heart.

"Just wait and see, Sun thief! I'll remember this!"
