Chapter 515 - 466: How Dare an Eunuch Run Wild at Chongshan Pass! Does This Marquis Have No Regard for His Reputation?
"City Guard Bureau! Does my Imperial Guard Department really need a token from the City Guard Bureau to go anywhere?"
The tall, thin man was getting impatient, reaching into his waist and pulling out a bronze token, flashing it in front of the flag officer.
"Do I need a token to enter the Imperial City? How could the mere Chongshan Pass require one?"
Seeing the token, the flag officer involuntarily took a nervous step back, such a token he had never seen before. In these recent years, there had been many people coming to Chongshan Pass from the Capital City, but almost all of them sent someone ahead to inform us, followed by orders from the General Mansion or the Governor’s Office to authorize passage, or Yang Zhenshan and Pang Tang personally going out of the city to welcome them.
After hesitating for a moment, the flag officer still shook his head and said: "Please forgive me, sir, but without a token, foreign soldiers are not allowed into the city!"
This was a standing order; not to mention foreign soldiers, even soldiers from the Five Camps, apart from those on duty, were not allowed to wear armor into the city.
If the soldiers wanted to enter the city to buy things or return home, that was allowed, but they couldn’t wear armor.
In the military, armor was the most important equipment, even more crucial than weapons.
Without a mission, soldiers were not allowed to leave their camp in armor, let alone enter the city armored.
As soon as the flag officer had finished speaking, a flash of annoyance passed through the eyes of the tall, thin man.
"Out of the way!"
