In the restaurant of Jiang Han, within a small courtyard, a celebration banquet was underway. He reclined on the sofa, holding a fine wine, his senses pleasantly dulled as he watched the beautiful dance before him.
On the plush carpet in front, Ling Xue and Piao Xue were dancing gracefully, like two sprites under the moonlight, their movements exquisite and enchanting. Yan Dong was kneading Jiang Han's shoulders while Cen Ya was massaging his legs.
Su Qianxue picked up a piece of cooked beef from the hot pot with her chopsticks. She gently blew on it to cool it down before offering it to Jiang Han's mouth. He savored the beef, feeling an extraordinary sense of comfort in life. The Empress Su Qianxue was feeding him beef; the Imperial Guard Deputy Commander Yan Dong was massaging his legs; and the stunning maid Ling Xue, along with the current Piao Xue Princess, danced for him. Life felt so delightful—what more could he ask for?
" Shopkeeper Jiang, open your mouth!" Su Qianxue said softly as she placed another piece of beef into Jiang Han's mouth. Satisfied, he chewed and nodded, declaring, "There’s no need to worry about the plight of the common people anymore!"
This time, half of the civil and military officials under Langya Prince had fallen to the hands of the disaster victims! The victims had turned into a mob; all it took was a word from Langya Prince to cover up the deaths of all those civil and military officials. Over forty civil officials and military officers, along with their servants and guards, had perished at the hands of these rioters.
Would the court punish these rioters? What were they thinking? Did they not find the entire Great Zhou Dynasty chaotic enough? If they truly punished them, it would likely incite rebellion in at least five out of seven provinces.
From the perspective of the common people, Langya Prince was no better than a tyrant. It was absurd that these civil and military officials still sought to save Langya Prince; they deserved their fate. Thus, their deaths were in vain.
In terms of importance, these officials were far less significant than the common people. Su Qianxue nodded in agreement, preparing to act according to Jiang Han's instructions. She couldn't help but reflect on his words: there were plenty waiting to take office in this world. Even if all the civil and military officials were killed off, new ones could easily be found to keep things running smoothly.
Therefore, it was permissible to slaughter civil and military officials but not the common people. As she contemplated this further and looked back at Jiang Han, she felt that this man was exceptionally wise.
" Shopkeeper Jiang, the Ninth Princess and Mu Prime Minister's negotiating army is on its way! According to our plan, we will set a date for a confrontation in a certain town!"
"I plan to dispatch Thirty Thousand Imperial Guards to face their Wan Dajun!" Su Qianxue said slowly. "At the very least, my forces cannot be outnumbered by theirs on the Ming Mian! Only in this way can I gain more leverage from the situation."
Moreover, the Mu Prime Minister not only wanted to bring Mu Jinkun but also aimed to achieve fame through battle. In this case, I intend to gamble with them once more outside of the board. What do you think of my strategy?
To seek small gains from large risks and acquire more, one must engage in zero-sum games, and the best way is through betting. It is also essential to create an illusion on the Ming Mian that we have no chance of winning. Otherwise, they wouldn't be willing to gamble or put forth such substantial stakes.
If we proceed with this plan, if you need any weapons, feel free to let me know; we can still settle with treasures! As for the Mu Prime Minister's matters, without handing over the Jade Sword, Mu Jinkun cannot be released! Jiang Han will not easily give up Mu Jinkun.
He stated directly: "When the time comes, the Mu Prime Minister can come find me." For the next month, I want to enjoy myself; with Langya Prince also incapacitated, he likely won't cause any trouble.
Take this opportunity to expand your influence! "Thank you, Shopkeeper Jiang!" Su Qianxue's beautiful eyes shimmered as her hand inadvertently rested on Jiang Han's chest.
The previously tipsy Jiang Han suddenly understood her meaning. He decisively stood up and swept Su Qianxue into his arms, heading toward the inner room.
Several days later, in Binzhou, far from the capital, Lin Qingyue gathered thirty thousand elite troops, preparing to launch an attack against the Ninth Princess stationed there.
Deputy General Zhou Chong reported, "General, these thirty thousand elite troops are our last reserve. Are we really going to take this risk? Are we doing all this just to please Jiang Han?"
"Yes," Lin Qingyue replied. "Making Jiang Han happy is my ultimate goal! His abilities surpass any man in this world; even the Emperor of Xia Kingdom cannot compare."
Lin Qingyue gazed at the distant mountains and rivers while watching the snowflakes fall. She murmured to herself, "If we can capture the Ninth Princess alive during our assault... bringing her back to the capital as a gift for Jiang Han and letting him handle her would greatly enhance my standing in his eyes!"
At that time, whatever I desire, I could easily ask Jiang Han for or purchase myself.
There is only one such extraordinary man in the entire world: Jiang Han.
Once, both Langya Prince and I sought to uncover the mysterious force behind Jiang Han. After much effort, we realized that this enigmatic power was beyond our reach; it left no trace for us to follow. Thus, we could only seek Jiang Han himself.
Deputy General Zhou Chong sighed, feeling that his general was ready to act out of anger for Jiang Han. Everything had turned out to be merely a means to make Jiang Han happy. Upon reflection, it became clear that with such vast resources at his disposal, if we could bring joy to Jiang Han, then all one hundred thousand soldiers would be able to survive the winter.
Jiang Han, oh Jiang Han! I, your General, will surely win your heart! Even if it means becoming your concubine, I would gladly accept as long as you give me that chance!
Lin Qingyue harbored an almost obsessive fervor for Jiang Han. She thought that as long as he agreed to let her accompany him and stay by his side, she would have the opportunity to win his heart completely. She wouldn't mind being his concubine! Even if it meant being his servant, she would have no objections.
"Reporting to the General!" a commander rushed in with news. "The Twenty Thousand Heavy Cavalry has assembled!"
Hastily, another commander followed: "General, the Eight Thousand Heavy Infantry and Two Thousand Siege Weapons Soldiers are all in position!"
Lin Qingyue fiercely grasped her sword and issued a series of battle commands before decisively stating, "Let’s go! Follow me to capture the Princess of Xia alive!"
She personally led several commanders out of the tent, mounted her horse, and each took command of their troops as they charged toward the city ahead.
On the city walls, the Ninth Princess saw the arrival of the three hundred thousand troops and couldn't help but exclaim in fury, "Lin Qingyue, how dare you come here?"
