Thank you for your kindness, General. I will not let your expectations down. For you and Jiang Han, I will do everything in my power!
Deputy General Zhou Chong has already bowed down in reverence! At this moment, all they can do is place their hopes on Jiang Han and Lin Qingyue being together.
The only way to gain Jiang Han's resources is for Lin Qingyue to bear his child. Although this method may seem despicable, it is currently the only option available. Only in this way can they obtain supplies from Jiang Han!
Jiang Han has the ability to turn decay into wonder! He is backed by mysterious forces! He is an extraordinary man, possessing what all kings desire, like a treasure trove.
As long as one offers treasures to Jiang Han, he can provide whatever you wish for—vast amounts of supplies, endless instant noodles, and more!
At this moment, Lin Qingyue finds herself in a dire situation; her entire family has been slaughtered, and the Two Hundred Thousand Troops are reduced to just five Wan Lao Ruo who are sick and disabled. If she could win Jiang Han's favor and bear his child, it would bring about a tremendous change.
In fact, Lin Qingyue could rely on Jiang Han to establish her own kingdom. With such temptation before her, how could Lin Qingyue not take the initiative to bear Jiang Han's child?
She put away the medicine bottle and murmured to herself: "Jiang Han, oh Jiang Han, it's all your fault for being so weak back then! If you hadn't listened to me so obediently, making me think you were a man without any backbone, I wouldn't have treated you this way. You deliberately provoked me and argued with me!"
"Had you not been so compliant with my every whim, I would have valued you more! But you were always someone who would fulfill my every request, which led me to overlook your worth!"
Her mindset began to shift as she continued to murmur: "My abandonment of you is entirely your own doing! You cannot control me or suppress me; that is your failure as a man! Besides, I merely did what any man would do. Abandoning you was your own fault."
"Even when I had stripped myself bare and knelt before you, if you couldn't forgive me, then don't blame me for resorting to desperate measures!"
Once upon a time, Lin Qingyue had thought about how to mend her relationship with Jiang Han.
She knelt outside Jiang Han's courtyard, nearly freezing to death. It was as if a certain acupoint had been activated, and her state of mind began to undergo a transformation unlike any she had experienced before.
In her view, abandoning Jiang Han had been justified; he simply lacked sufficient masculine charm. Yet now, when she sought to reconcile with him, Jiang Han refused her, even displaying a certain allure that felt like deliberate mockery.
If that was the case, then she would use drugs to conceive his child and demand ample resources from him. Afterward, she would castrate him, rendering him incapable of fathering another child like Che Chengyun. In that scenario, her child would be the only one he would ever have in his life. Even if he refused to acknowledge her as his wife, he would have no choice but to accept it.
She intended to extract enough resources from him to help her, Lin Qingyue, establish her own kingdom. Lin Qingyue and Zhou Chong began plotting; as soon as Su Qianxue was defeated, they would swiftly attack the capital and bring Jiang Han along. After that, everything would fall into place easily.
Inside Langya Wangfu, the crippled Langya Prince leaned back in his chair, gazing at his disappointing sons, Che Chengyun and Che Chengming.
Che Chengming spoke directly: "Father, I have already recognized my mistakes regarding the previous incident." He continued, "I also acknowledge my faults during the moment I was supposed to save you." Che Chengyun clasped his fists in agreement.
"Enough, enough. Having children like you is the king's punishment," sighed the Langya Prince, as if he had seen through this world.
He turned to Che Chengyun and asked, "What is the current status of our losses in the Wangfu?"
"Reporting to Father," Che Chengyun replied, "the Eight Hundred Guards have been completely wiped out. Over a hundred Jiang Jiang were involved; more than eighty have perished. Out of seventy Retainers, over thirty are gone."
He reported truthfully, "Additionally, among the nearly one hundred Civil Officials and Military Officers under our control in Langya Wangfu, fifty have already died! The remaining fifty are all in unimportant positions!"
"Of course," he added, "this also includes four officials and three generals who have been dispatched; they still hold military power over three states."
"Now in the court," he continued with a heavy heart, "the Lingnan Prince completely obeys Su Qianxue. Su Qianxue has already begun to take control of the court!"
Upon hearing this, the Langya Prince felt a deep sorrow; he had never anticipated that a single mistake could lead to such devastating losses.
Che Chengming could not help but say, "Father, the peacekeeping army has arrived. Mu Prime Minister and Su Qianxue are set to duel." He recounted the details of their challenge without omitting anything.
Then Che Chengming continued, "With fifteen Wan Dajun against five Wan Dajun, we can surely win, Father. This might be our opportunity!"
Che Chengyun firmly disagreed, stating directly, "Father, I suggest we take a break instead. Our Langya Wangfu has lost nearly half its strength in the court. Although we still command a large army, it would be best for us to pause for a while." He was concerned that stirring things up now could lead to a disastrous defeat. After all, Jiang Han and Su Qianxue were not simple opponents.
At that moment, the murky gaze of Langya Prince suddenly became exceptionally clear as he declared, "No! This is our chance! If we can make Su Qianxue lose this time, we will gain tremendous benefits!"
Originally, both Jiang Han and Su Qianxue hoped that during this period, Langya Prince would remain quiet. This was why they had managed to put him in such a difficult position. However, Langya Prince murmured that facing a challenging moment was the best opportunity.
Although the king had a broken leg, he could still wield a knife; even though Jiang Jiang and the palace guards were gone, they could still recruit from the army to supplement their forces—though their loyalty might not be as high.
If this plan succeeded, not only would they restore their strength, but they could also expose Su Qianxue's true form. Langya Prince was determined not to miss such an opportunity.
Che Chengming suggested directly, "Father, why don’t we take our treasures and gamble?"
Langya Prince slapped Che Chengming across the face and scolded him, "Are you an idiot? Shut up!"
Che Chengyun added, "This time we will mobilize our troops directly. If Xia Kingdom is defeated, we will use our army to threaten Mu Prime Minister into signing an alliance! If Su Qianxue is defeated, we will force him to eliminate his own loyalists and place our people in power!"
In this way, regardless of who won or lost, they would reap the benefits!
