Chapter 13 Proceedings
With a slight "Click!" sound, the thick machete broke into two sections. Look at the blade, it was intact.
Chen Li was very satisfied. It was indeed an unparalleled treasure sword. He was not afraid of not knowing the goods, but was afraid of comparing goods.
Looking at Chen Li's satisfied expression, Zou Pusheng said to the Cuguan standing next to him: "Go and get the second prince the best pair of golden armor."
Chen Li couldn't help but exclaim when he brought the golden armor.
It's really a good craft. The hem of the whole pair of armor is clad with steel sheets that are two fingers wide and three inches long. The steel sheets and the sheets are connected by cowhide bands, which are tight and reasonable and will never affect the fight.
The chest is made of thick steel, and the back is also made of the same steel sheet. The protective steel sheets on the two shoulders are in the same shape as the shoulders, but they do not affect the vigorous movement of the shoulders, and the upper and lower connections are extremely clever.
There are also small and delicate hooks between the upper and lower parts. When you take them off, you untie them and then hang them up when you wear them. It’s just that it’s not convenient for you and ask others for help.
The helmet is connected with two steel sheets in front and back, with eyes fixed, and is connected in series with cowhide bands, which is lined with a soft cotton cloth.
Chen Li had to admire the ancient craftsmen. It was not easy to make such a large iron dress so cleverly without modern tools.
This pair of iron armor will take several months to build with several craftsmen, and only senior officers are worthy of it.
Chen Li tried it on her body, and she was very depressed.
This thing is indeed an ordinary sword and arrow that can't do anything, but it's just too heavy, with dozens of kilograms and no strength. Not to mention fighting, even walking, it can't stand it. Running and jumping also affects the flexibility of the body.
Thinking of his dexterity, he felt that this thing was really not suitable for him.
Zou Pusheng was quick-minded and saw Chen Li's thoughts, saying, "Second Prince, although this golden armor is a bit heavy and uncomfortable to wear, it is a supreme amulet on the battlefield and is more than enough to resist ordinary weapons. You should wear it with it first, just get used to it."
Chen Li reluctantly said, "Okay, it's right to listen to the Grand Master."
Although I am not afraid of long swords and sharp arrows, if I get hit in front of everyone, it will be nothing. This is a bit scary. If the opponent urges some unexpected killing moves, it is hard to say whether his body can stand it.
Suddenly, he remembered that in ancient times, he liked to use fire in wars, and he didn't know if he could withstand it?
Thinking of this, he didn't care about other things and hurriedly returned to the Han Palace with Zou Pusheng, locked himself in the house, lit a torch, put it on his body and tried to burn it.
Looking at the wound that was burned but could not heal and feeling the burning and burning pain, Chen Li's confidence suddenly decreased several points.
It seems that Fire is his nemesis. You have to be careful when encountering this scene in the future. The immortal body I thought was also bounded.

The so-called good things don’t go out, bad things spread thousands of miles. Before ten days, there was a strange movement in Jiangzhou City. Those wealthy families quietly sealed up shops, carried gold, silver and treasures, and took their children and their families to travel far.
The reason was nothing else. The news of Chen Youliang's defeat and death quietly spread among those well-informed people.
Although the source of the news is mysterious and has no conclusive basis, those smart people will analyze it. It is obvious that either the King of Han wins or the King of Wu wins, and one side will eventually defeat the other.
If the King of Han wins, those powerful court officials will not be able to swear without boundaries. But judging from the tense state in the city these days, even if the King of Han is unbeaten, the situation is likely to be bad.
At this time, some people said that the Han King died in Poyang Lake, and everyone believed that the degree of belief would be greatly increased. So people were panic and rich people were wondering whether to go out to hide.
The reason is very simple. If King Zhu Yuanzhang of Wu defeated Jiangzhou City, those soldiers who were so angry that they were burned, killed, robbed, and raped, and occupied by adultery and possession would be natural. No matter who they are, there is very little chance of being spared.
The world has been in chaos for so many years and the people have seen it too much, so they certainly understand these things.
It’s a pity that the city has already been guarded, and those who want to escape with their families were blocked by the soldiers patrolling the city gate and day and night.
This completely made those who were suspicious. The news of the death of King Han spread throughout the streets and alleys, and no one could block everyone's mouths.
The production and transactions in the city suddenly became deserted, and everyone was thinking about how to escape this disaster. The thieves who wanted to take advantage of the situation were ready to move. If they hadn't watched the soldiers patrolling the streets, they would have been afraid that those villains would have already caused Jiangzhou City to panic.
People's hearts are in chaos, and no one can turn the world back.
Chen Li and Zou Pusheng had long expected this day, so they could only increase the patrol efforts of the military troops in the city. Apart from the force of deterrence, no one had a better way, because no matter how big the guarantee was, it would not be convincing at this time.
What prestige, character, and promises are just a few eggs. Fists are the hard truth. Without strong force intimidation, everyone recognizes you which onion?
——Everyone is photographed and beaten, and everyone is afraid of death!
Despite this, ideological work must be done, and it is time to fool for a while.
It is still very effective to deceive people. As long as you give them a seemingly reasonable reason in the future, even if there is no reason, as long as things turn around, everyone will be very tolerant.
Chen Li convened all the generals, counselors, capitalists, left chiefs, right chiefs, aristocratic families and other people to discuss how to make the people do their own things with peace of mind, do a good job in production, ensure daily life, and provide military supplies.
Zhuo Hong, the prefect of Jiangzhou City, was in his fifties and was a Jinshi in the Yuan Dynasty. After Xu Shouhui occupied Jiangzhou City, he surrendered to Xu Shouhui. After Chen Youliang seized power, he worked for Chen Youliang again.
This is a very smooth person. He welcomes anyone who is the king. He just does his part and never talks too much.
It is precisely because he is proficient in government affairs and is capable of doing things that he can sit firmly in the position of prefect for many years.
Now, he stood in front of the rules and regulations, letting others whisper, and he just looked down.
Chen Li looked at him and said, "Master, do you have any good ideas?"
Zhuo Hong immediately looked up at Chen Li, stepped forward to bow, and said respectfully: "I have no good idea, it depends on the second prince's assignment. I will do my best to do it and never delay it."
Chen Li said: "Now I am asking you for advice, can't you give me some advice?"
Zhuo Hong was a little uncomfortable when he heard this, because Chen Li said too politely, and he was not as tough as the King of Han.
Zhuo Hong said: "Rumors are everywhere in Jiangzhou City, which really hurts the reputation of the King of Han. I have been posting announcements from the people everywhere and matching scholars who are interpreting them, but they have little effect."
Chen Li said: "Rumors stop at wise men, but the people in the city have limited knowledge, so it is really difficult to let them ignore them."
Zhuo Hong said: "I have been worried that if this continues, it will affect the stability of all walks of life and the logistics of the army will also be disturbed."
Chen Li walked off the throne, bowed to the officials of all sizes and big sides standing with his hands, and said sincerely: "I have always been in poor health and have not learned the skills of governing the world from you. Thank God for mercy. I have been able to get a long therapy and teach the Tao. Now I am happy. I sincerely ask you for advice from you, so that I can make some contributions, and for good reason I will give you an explanation in front of the King of Han."
Almost everyone was surprised and all the doubts they had had were gone.
