"It's just a mere two hundred, but if you want more, I can provide it!"
With a smile curling at the corners of his lips, Jiang Han casually approached one side, picked up a Fire Axe, and swung it to chop open a wooden crate. Inside, he retrieved numerous Eight-Sided Han Swords wrapped in plastic and tossed them to Su Qianxue's subordinates.
The female guards who received the Eight-Sided Han Swords from Jiang Han instantly displayed expressions of delight. They lowered their waists, drew the swords, and gazed at the mirror-like blades, carefully examining them. The swords had four edges on one side and featured a soil-burning technique on the blade that enhanced its hardness. A slight swing produced a sound like air being sliced.
Moreover, the sound of the blade cutting through the air was unlike any ordinary sword; it was twofold—the first sound was long and lingering, while the second was chaotic and jarring. Both methods of testing the swords' quality were employed.
Bang! Bang!
The Fire Axe chopped through several wooden crates. Jiang Han reached into one of the boxes and pulled out some Eight-Sided Han Swords as if he were handling toys, showing no concern at all. Su Qianxue watched with a pained expression.
" Shopkeeper Jiang, these are treasures! Please be more gentle!" Su Qianxue stepped forward earnestly.
She examined the Eight-Sided Han Sword closely, her heart shaken to its core. Since Langya Prince had been granted his title, he had grown increasingly arrogant. Even when she had captured one of Langya Prince's right-hand men for treason, he chose to publicly execute that man in a blatant display of defiance—an utterly despicable act.
If it weren't for Langya Prince commanding thirty Wan Dajun troops, Su Qianxue would have never tolerated such behavior. Now, however, a grand vision began to form in her mind!
She envisioned an army of three Wan Dajun that she personally crafted, equipped with Compressed Biscuits and Eight-Sided Han Swords, overpowering Langya Prince's three hundred thousand men. A well-equipped elite force could undoubtedly achieve this.
Three thousand elite troops! But it all depended on Jiang Han!
As Su Qianxue gazed at Jiang Han, her beautiful eyes shimmered with joy. Unable to contain herself, she stepped forward and softly said, " Shopkeeper Jiang, your generosity in providing so many resources—Lin Qingyue must be blind to treat you as disposable. I implore you to consider establishing a long-term trade relationship with me for such weapons and supplies! I swear that for the rest of my life, I will never betray you! What do you say?"
Jiang Han crossed his arms and observed Su Qianxue's demeanor, wondering how this girl suddenly came to such a conclusion. Perhaps it was due to her royal status; she wanted something to strengthen the royal power, but there was no need to be so earnest about it!
" Shopkeeper Jiang, you are indeed a remarkable man. What you possess could rival the reserves of an entire nation!"
Yet, you still choose to remain in this place as Shopkeeper, showing that you have no desire for world domination. I don't want to morally bind you with national sentiments; I simply hope to establish a long-term trade contract with you!
Su Qianxue slightly raised her delicate hand, making a gesture of oath as she looked at Jiang Han with sincerity. "I swear that from now on, if I betray you or act like Lin Qingyue did, I will be struck down by heavenly lightning."
"Hey, hey, hey, that's unnecessary!" Jiang Han quickly waved his hand to stop her. "You’re making it sound like we have some unusual relationship; it’s too ambiguous. If you want to do business, that’s fine, as long as you don’t make me feel disgusted."
"Really, Jiang? Is that true?" Su Qianxue asked eagerly, her hands instinctively gripping Jiang Han's. Her face was filled with anticipation.
Jiang Han felt Su Qianxue's hand was quite soft and didn’t pull away. He replied, "It’s true. You can have whatever you want; as long as you can offer a price, I can agree to it. Just have someone come and take away the items here later."
With her heart finally at ease, Su Qianxue immediately called for the Female Guard to bring more people to transport the Compressed Biscuits and Eight-Sided Han Swords.
"What is this?" Princess Piao Xue curiously looked at the Fire Axe in Jiang Han's hand.
Seeing the little girl’s interest, Jiang Han handed over the axe.
When Princess Piao Xue received the Fire Axe, she was a bit surprised. "It’s so light! It feels like it weighs only three or four pounds. I wonder how powerful it is?"
"Jiang, can we take a look at this?" Su Qianxue inquired of Jiang Han.
Jiang Han waved his hand dismissively. "No, you can play with it yourselves."
After receiving permission, Princess Piao Xue began testing the Fire Axe with one of the Female Guards.
The test was simple: they struck the axe against the guard’s waist.
Bang!
A crisp sound rang out! The guard's waist was cleaved in two; the broken blade flew several meters away and embedded itself into the warehouse floor tiles.
The Female Guard stared in shock at the Fire Axe. Such a powerful weapon is so light?
This axe likely weighed just over three pounds, yet it had the power of a ten-pound axe! Moreover, I feel this weapon is very well-balanced; there’s no sensation of it being top-heavy or awkward.
Piao Xue Princess weighed the Fire Axe in her hands, and after confirming its formidable power, she couldn't help but glance at Su Qianxue, silently nodding her head.
Understanding her sister's intention, Su Qianxue stepped forward and asked Shopkeeper Jiang, "I would like to order one thousand Fire Axes, and in addition to that, I want to order three thousand Eight-Sided Han Swords. Do you have the supply available?"
In the presence of the Eight-Sided Han Sword, ordinary leather armor was nearly equivalent to no armor at all! And against the Fire Axe, standard iron armor was utterly ineffective.
If the Imperial Guard donned their armor and wielded such weapons against the elite troops of Langya Prince, it would be akin to armored soldiers battling unarmored ones. The elite soldiers of Langya Prince were like those unarmored infantry because their armor was rendered virtually useless in the face of these two weapons.
One thousand Fire Axes! Three thousand Eight-Sided Han Swords? No problem, just pay the required amount. Jiang Han responded with a light smile.
Su Qianxue waved her hand slightly, wondering if this could be settled with payment. Behind her, a Female Guard approached, carrying a Yellow Brocade Box. Upon opening the box, she took out a piece of yellow porcelain.
A smile lingered on Su Qianxue's face as she began to introduce it: "This is the Eight Treasure Glazed Vase, made from Longquan Celadon but inlaid with various types of precious stones. It features eight exquisite gemstones including top-quality agate, top-quality Zuzu Green Gem, top-quality opal, and top-quality emerald!"
