"Are you kidding me? This kind of house costs five thousand per person per night?"

Looking at the shouting Qiang leader, the Han soldier in charge of registration glanced at him and said indifferently:

"If you're reluctant to spend money, that's fine too. But you're not allowed to camp within a hundred miles of here. While it's still early, you'd better hurry up and find another place, or don't blame me if you get caught!"

"you..."

Upon hearing the Han soldiers speak in such a manner, the Qiang leader was so angry that he was speechless.

The Qiang chieftain, feeling utterly helpless, gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I'll rent it!"

It was already close to noon, and they were driving their cattle and sheep. They couldn't even travel a hundred miles in half a day, let alone a whole day. Were they going to wait until nightfall to be caught by Duan Jiong and have their cattle and sheep confiscated?

The Han soldiers glanced at the Qiang leader and sneered inwardly, "Little brat? You think we can't handle you?"

Then he asked, "How many people?"

"Twenty people!"

"The lease is for five days, so for twenty people that's 500,000 yuan! The lease can be renewed after five days!"

"Give!"

The Qiang man, looking pained, pulled out fifty taels of gold and handed it to the soldier.

"Yes, the third house from the right in the second row,"

"What? All of us are living in one room?"

The Qiang leader stared wide-eyed at the Han soldiers. How could so many of them possibly fit in?

"What? Let me tell you, you're lucky. There are forty people crammed into one room ahead of you! If you want to stay longer, that'll cost 100,000 coins a day per room!"

"you...."

Although the Qiang leader was very angry, he dared not retaliate and could only lead his men inside.

"Hmph~ Next one..."

The Han soldiers snorted and continued collecting money, while the Qiang people queuing behind them also paid in an orderly manner to check in.

"Name!"

"Shehetai!"

"Um?"

The soldier in charge of registration looked up at Shehetai.

"It's you! General Duan said you are a friend of our Han Dynasty and may enter the city!"

Shehetai's eyes lit up, and he quickly thanked them repeatedly. After arranging the cattle and sheep with his men, he headed towards Pengyang City.

Some of the other Qiang people in line recognized Shehetai. They knew that Shehetai had surrendered to the Han Dynasty, but they did not expect that he would be treated so well.

If this continues, I fear that with the support of the Great Han, Shehetai will soon surpass them.

For a moment, the Qiang leaders who had been wavering began to frown and think things through.

Seeking refuge with the Han Dynasty doesn't seem like an unacceptable option.
