"Xu Xian! If we don't take action soon, we might end up at the mercy of Jiang Han! The Emperor won't care; isn't it obvious that they are bullying us at Langya Wangfu?"
"That's right, Xu Xian. Father controls over twenty Wan Dajun. If we don't rebel now, over time, won't we just be waiting for our doom?"
The other two sons chimed in, expressing their concerns that Su Qianxue was rising to power.
"If we don't strike hard now and crush Su Qianxue, if we wait too long, with Jiang Han backing her, she will only grow stronger! Won't we all be doomed?"
Hearing this, the Langya Prince was also tempted and spoke up, "Kill Jiang Han, kill Su Qianxue. Xu Xian, how confident are you?"
"My lord, I do not recommend this course of action! Even if we truly want to kill Jiang Han, we must first find out how he is connected to the mysterious forces. We need to locate that mysterious force; otherwise, if we rebel and suddenly can't eliminate Jiang Han and Su Qianxue..."
Xu Xian sighed, acknowledging that this would lead to a confrontation between two armies. Although the Langya Prince had control over many troops and territories, Jiang Han's supplies and special weapons seemed to flow endlessly as if they were free. Over time, they would surely be at a disadvantage.
The Langya Prince closed his eyes in despair, recalling the sight of his son Che Chengyun being castrated and lying on the bed in agony. His heart felt like it was bleeding; if he couldn't avenge his son, how could he face the world?
"My lord!"
"Patience is key; don't let small grievances disrupt our grand plans! Jiang Han must have some connection with the mysterious forces. These resources can't just appear out of thin air!"
Xu Xian revealed a cunning expression and said, "At this moment, we need to endure! Let Su Qianxue and Jiang Han deal with the Ninth Princess and Mu Jinkun! When the time is right, we'll find an opportunity to ambush the Ninth Princess! We'll frame Jiang Han and Su Qianxue for it and incite conflict between the two nations!"
Upon hearing this, a fierce glint appeared in the Langya Prince's eyes.
"Father!"
"Father!"
Two sorrowful voices called out. The Langya Prince looked up to see Che Chengyun being brought over. He was momentarily stunned and hurriedly approached to ask with concern, "My child, what is it?"
"Father, you must help me avenge this humiliation! It is a great disgrace!"
"Father, I beg you—help me take revenge!"
Che Chengyun's face was pale as he weakly called out. His three brothers stood to the side, and Qi Qi looked at Che Chengyun, shaking his head in silence.
Eldest brother Che Chengming thought to himself, "Oh, second brother, what are you doing? There are so many beautiful women out there, yet you choose to pursue our father’s adopted daughter. Even though Ling Xue has already been exposed and sent by Jiang Han, it’s a trap for sure, and you’ve fallen right into it. Thankfully, you have no sons; otherwise, your legitimate heir position could have been taken over by your son, and I would have lost my chance."
At least there was still a chance now, which was good. The Langya Prince saw Che Chengyun on the stretcher and couldn’t suppress his urge for revenge. Xu Xian noticed this scene and quickly stepped forward, cupping his fists and saying, "My lord, this is not the time!"
At this moment, they needed to hold back and wait for the Ninth Princess and Su Qianxue's cavalry to engage in battle, as well as for Keju to arrive! The Ninth Princess would lead Mu Jinkun to Xia Kingdom; they could strike midway! Disguised as Jiang Han's men, when the time came, Jiang Han and Su Qianxue would definitely confront Xia Kingdom, allowing them to reap the benefits!
He truly hoped that his Old Prince wouldn’t let his blood rush to his head and charge recklessly. Charging now? That would be courting death! Su Qianxue was growing stronger; they couldn’t act rashly at this moment.
"Father!" Che Chengyun weakly called out, his eyes filled with despair. Seeing that the Langya Prince did not respond, he murmured to himself, "Ling Xue and Yan Dong have treated me this way; it must be Jiang Han's doing! Jiang Han is despicable and shameless; he must be killed! Father, help me take revenge!"
Upon hearing this, the Langya Prince suddenly turned around and scanned the entire hall of the royal mansion with a fierce gaze. His mind raced as he thought about what to do. After a long pause, he finally spoke: "The Ninth Princess must be killed; we need to frame Jiang Han for it! However, we also need to participate in the battle outside the city against Keju!"
"Che Chengming, you are the eldest son; although not the legitimate heir, Che Chengyun is still your brother. You must avenge him!" The Langya Prince declared fiercely. "Now you three will officially unite your strategies against Jiang Han! I will find a way to obtain Jiang Han's dealings with the mysterious forces! My royal mansion’s elite will be at your disposal! Framing Jiang Han is essential!"
Before doing this, there are other matters to attend to.
In the shop, Jiang Han received a message. " Shopkeeper Jiang, this is an invitation sent by Mu Jinkun!"
Because Che Chengyun had been castrated, they were overjoyed and decided to host three banquets at Capital Phoenix Tower to celebrate, inviting you as well! Cen Ya handed a gilded invitation to Jiang Han. This was just delivered.
Jiang Han took the invitation and opened it. Written in bold characters was the message: "Today, hearing that Che Chengyun has been castrated is a great joy for our people. Knowing that it was Shopkeeper Jiang's doing makes it even more delightful. Today, in Great Zhou Capital, we are hosting a banquet and specially invite Shopkeeper Jiang to celebrate together."
The signature read Mu Jinkun.
Is Mu Jinkun a bit foolish? I castrated Che Chengyun, and he’s happy enough to throw a banquet and invite me? Jiang Han was bewildered; he never expected Mu Jinkun could do something like this. Doesn’t he hold a grudge against me for nearly getting him killed?
Shopkeeper Jiang! Previously, in the Langya Dynasty hall, Mu Jinkun had been betrayed once! Last night at Hongfu Temple, Che Chengyun betrayed him again!
Yan Dong thought for a moment before saying, "Perhaps Mu Jinkun is just too happy, which is why he spoke like this. Should we go?"
Jiang Han paused and asked, "Who else has been invited?"
"General Lin Qingyue and Lord Luo Yuhua. They’ve invited many generals and nobles from the capital!" Cen Ya replied honestly. "They all received invitations, but the one sent to you indicates that you will be seated at the main table!"
Jiang Han examined the invitation and couldn’t help but smile. "Clear distinctions between grievances and gratitude! Of course we should go!" He looked at the few people mentioned and thought for a moment before saying, "Since Mu Jinkun and the Ninth Princess are hosting, let’s go together. I’m curious to see what tricks Mu Jinkun has up his sleeve."
