"Jiang Han! It must be Jiang Han who has come up with some scheme! It's possible that Jiang Han has given Su Qianxue some extraordinary weapon!"
Lin Qingyue thought decisively, feeling that Su Qianxue's overwhelming demeanor was entirely due to Jiang Han. She clenched her fists in frustration, thinking, "Jiang Han, oh Jiang Han! We have been engaged for years, and during this time, I never let you touch me. But you can't just treat Su Qianxue so well just because she is eager to serve you!"
"I am your fiancée, even if I am your former fiancée; you shouldn't act this way. With your support, what will happen to me? If I miss this opportunity, what will become of my ten thousand troops? The supplies, the weapons—everything will be gone!"
As Lin Qingyue thought about this, her eyes began to redden. She stared at Su Qianxue like a jealous woman scorned. Memories of Jiang Han flooded her mind, and she couldn't help but feel that if Jiang Han had been a bit more assertive back then, if he had taken the initiative and shown some ambition, she would never have chosen Che Chengyun over him.
"It's all Jiang Han's fault! It's all his doing!" Lin Qingyue remained silent on the surface, but inside she was a tempest of emotions. She had made up her mind that after court adjourned, she would seek out Jiang Han. This time, she would definitely bring him out and mend their relationship; she couldn't allow that wretched Su Qianxue to take advantage of him any longer.
Look at Su Qianxue! How many crises has she navigated thanks to Jiang Han? The one deserving such treatment should be me! Jiang Han is my former man!
Unbeknownst to Su Qianxue, who had suppressed the ministers and was now holding court with an air of authority, Lin Qingyue was seething with jealousy.
At Jiang Han's tavern, Cen Ya led Ling Xue before him and recounted how Ling Xue had been expelled from Langya Wangfu. Jiang Han pretended not to know the details and said, "She's just a poor girl; let her stay here with me. I happen to need to procure some supplies!"
"Ling Xue and Cen Ya, please help me get the carriage ready to take me out!"
Cen Ya looked momentarily stunned. She hadn't expected Jiang Han to ask her and Ling Xue to escort him out of the city.
"Thank you, Shopkeeper Jiang, for taking me in! I will serve you with all my heart," Ling Xue expressed her gratitude sincerely as she eagerly opened the small door.
Before long, Ling Xue had prepared the carriage. When she saw Jiang Han and Cen Ya coming out, she politely said, "You two can sit in the carriage; I'll handle the driving."
Cen Ya followed Jiang Han's instructions, and the two of them entered the carriage together. During their journey out of the city, Cen Ya was worried that the location where Jiang Han collected resources would be exposed. After spending so many days together, both Cen Ya and Yan Dong, as well as Piao Xue, were aware that Jiang Han would go out to gather things. However, all three women were clever enough to know what they should and shouldn't inquire about, so they refrained from asking questions. Only Ling Xue, who had just arrived, was overly eager to drive the carriage, clearly wanting to find out where Jiang Han collected his resources.
Cen Ya exchanged glances with Jiang Han. He dipped his finger in the tea and wrote the words "divide and conquer" on his palm. Upon seeing this, Cen Ya fell silent.
Once the carriage left the capital, Jiang Han casually found a temple and instructed Ling Xue and Cen Ya that they could return. He told them to come back tomorrow night to pick him up. " Shopkeeper Jiang, my sister Cen Ya and I will come as promised tomorrow night! Should we bring you some food?" Ling Xue asked with a sweet smile.
"That would be great!" Jiang Han nodded and then entered the temple. Unbeknownst to him, monks were hiding in a place where he couldn't see them. Afterward, he returned to the real world to order modifications for the Oil Saw and Compound Bow.
Cen Ya and Ling Xue drove the carriage back. Later that night, Ling Xue quietly got up and ran outside. The martial arts-skilled Piao Xue Princess noticed this and hurried over to wake Cen Ya and Yan Dong.
"This Ling Xue might be a spy sent by Langya Prince!" Yan Dong exclaimed.
"Exactly!" Cen Ya nodded in agreement. " Shopkeeper Jiang knows about it; he mentioned a divide-and-conquer strategy." After learning about the situation, Piao Xue and Yan Dong no longer pretended not to notice Ling Xue sneaking out in the middle of the night.
Inside Langya Wangfu, Langya Prince saw Ling Xue rushing in and asked with a smile, "Do you know where Jiang Han is collecting resources?"
"Adoptive father, it's just outside the city at Hongfu Temple!" Ling Xue reported honestly. "Jiang Han has no defenses against me. Even if it’s not Hongfu Temple, I doubt he’s gone far."
The beautiful Ling Xue reported the situation truthfully. Che Chengyun was overjoyed and quickly said, "Father, we can go wait there! If we can make contact with the mysterious forces providing resources to Jiang Han… If they could provide us with resources too… then you could sit on the throne!"
A smile appeared on Langya Prince's face as he considered this. After a moment, he replied, "There's no need to rush! Che Chengyun, go inform Ninth Princess about this."
With Mu Jinkun's temperament, he would undoubtedly rush over even more urgently. If it’s a trap, then we’ll have to trouble the Ninth Princess and Mu Jinkun to test the waters for us.
The cunning Langya Prince chose not to go in person this time. After all, he had already been outmaneuvered by Jiang Han last time.
Alright, I’ll notify the Ninth Princess right away! Che Chengyun quickly left.
Ling Xue, you should head back early as well; don’t let those women discover your whereabouts. If the location is real, I will give you credit for it. Langya Prince smiled broadly.
Ling Xue was very pleased; she never expected that she wouldn’t have to offer her body to Jiang Han just to learn the location of the supplies. This was truly a stroke of good fortune.
At the Royal Post Station, Che Chengyun found Mu Jinkun and the Ninth Princess.
What? You’ve discovered Jiang Han’s supply location? Is it true? Mu Jinkun was overjoyed. He couldn’t help but mutter, “That bastard Jiang Han, without the support of some mysterious force providing him with supplies, what is he worth?”
The fact that Jiang Han had a mysterious force backing him was something they had deduced. After all, with so many military rations and supplies, Jiang Han couldn’t possibly acquire them all by himself.
If they could make contact with that mysterious force, it would mean endless opportunities. Moreover, Jiang Han could be disposed of at any time.
Mu Jinkun, calm down! The Ninth Princess looked at Che Chengyun suspiciously. Does your father know about this situation? Would he be so kind as to inform This Palace?
She said slowly, “Your father just betrayed Mu Jinkun a few days ago; I’m afraid there might be an ambush at Hongfu Temple.”
