墨書 Inktalez
In the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, at the Jiang Family Shop, five years have passed. Now, I, Lin Qingyue, have been personally appointed as the Grand General of the Nation by His Majesty! And you? You are still here, stuck in this Jiang Family Shop, living a mundane life! What qualifications do you have to be my husband?
With a swift motion, Lin Qingyue sliced the desk in front of Jiang Han in half with her sword, her gaze cold and indifferent as she looked at him. Behind her stood a group of valiant soldiers, each one regarding Jiang Han with disdain.
Scholars, Farmers, Artisans, and Merchants! Lin Qingyue is the foremost female general of the Great Zhou! She has been honored with the title of Grand General of the Nation! Over these five years, she has fought against the Grassland Royal Court in the north and repelled the Barbarian invasions in the south! Her name is revered among the people of Great Zhou; all speak of her with admiration and respect!
Yet despite this, she had been deceived into marriage by someone as lowly as Jiang Han, a mere merchant! This was bound to become a disgrace!
"Grand General?" Jiang Han asked, gathering his scattered scrolls. His eyes flickered as he focused on Lin Qingyue.
Lin Qingyue scoffed lightly, she sheathed her sword and placed her hands behind her back, lifting her chin slightly in contempt as she regarded him. "It's simple! My husband should be a man of great stature! He should either be a warrior capable of leading troops into battle and winning every fight or a statesman serving his country in court. But you? You are nothing but a lowly merchant!"
As she spoke, Lin Qingyue clapped her hands together and let out a cold laugh. "I almost forgot that even calling you a merchant is an exaggeration for someone like you who runs this small Jiang Family Shop."
"In short," she continued, "we are no longer from the same world. You have only one choice: take this one hundred taels of gold and this marriage contract and get out of my sight!"
At this, Jiang Han couldn't help but chuckle. "Annul our marriage? Ever since five years ago when I accidentally discovered my family's secret that connected us to the Great Zhou Dynasty, I saved your life by chance. Afterward, when your family was treated as expendable during the war against the Grassland Royal Court and resources were scarce, I brought countless supplies from my time to ensure that you wouldn't have to worry about food or weapons for five whole years."
The Lin family thus arranged for Lin Qingyue and Jiang Han to become husband and wife. The purpose was clear: to avoid repaying the enormous debt of resources! Now that Lin Qingyue had gained fame, the first person she kicked aside was actually him!
Jiang Han exhaled, looking at Lin Qingyue and couldn't help but smile. If it weren't for the resources I provided, how could you, Lin Qingyue, have become the Grand General of the Nation?
Lin Qingyue frowned and snorted coldly. "Jiang Han! Don't flatter yourself! Even without those resources, I could still lead the army to victory in every battle!"
Moreover, in these five years, what have you done besides guarding this shop? With your lack of ambition, what right do you have to cling to me?
Jiang Han closed his eyes, his fists clenched tightly. After a moment, he opened his eyes and said, "You want to break off the engagement? Is it because of the Langya Wang Heir?"
He is what you call a man of extraordinary talent, a truly remarkable figure? Previously, Jiang Han had heard rumors about Lin Qingyue and this Langya Wang Heir. However, back then, he dismissed all of it as mere gossip.
Unexpectedly, those rumors turned out to be true.
Lin Qingyue snorted again, her arms crossed in front of her. "That's right! The Heir not only learned martial arts at seven but is also well-versed in poetry and literature. He is about to inherit the title of Langya Prince. And you? What do you have to compare with him? One is heaven, and the other is earth!"
Jiang Han slowly relaxed his fists and looked at Lin Qingyue before saying indifferently, "If you want to break off the engagement, fine! But for the resources and supplies I provided earlier, you, Lin General, need to compensate me at original price! As long as you sign this compensation agreement, I will agree to the annulment!"
Lin Qingyue's expression changed slightly; her eyes flickered as she gritted her teeth. "Fine! But a rat will always be a rat; it will never rise to prominence!"
Jiang Han stepped aside and tossed the compensation agreement regarding the supplies to Lin Qingyue before signing his name on the annulment letter.
As Jiang Han signed his name, Lin Qingyue looked at the compensation agreement in her hand and revealed a cold smile. "Jiang Han! You are too naive! You think a useless person like you can demand compensation? Have you looked at your own worth?"
Lin Qingyue raised her hand and tore the compensation agreement into shreds, scattering it around her. "Now you and I have no ties whatsoever! If you dare speak nonsense in front of others..."
"I guarantee you, your head will roll!"
Lin Qingyue walked to the door and looked at Jiang Han inside the Jiang Family Shop. Seeing his somewhat unpleasant face, she frowned slightly and gestured with her hand.
"Burn this Jiang Family Shop down for me! I can't stand looking at it!"
Several soldiers behind Lin Qingyue immediately saluted in response.
"Understood!"
As the soldiers approached, Jiang Han's expression darkened. Although he could return to the modern world in an instant, this Jiang Family Shop was a crucial link between the modern era and the Great Zhou. It absolutely could not be destroyed!
Jiang Han picked up a chair beside him and shouted loudly at Lin Qingyue, "Lin Qingyue! If you really dare to burn down my Jiang Family Shop, I guarantee you will meet the same fate!"
Lin Qingyue disdainfully glanced at Jiang Han and turned to leave.
"I'm waiting for you!"
In the capital city, outside a luxurious carriage, a maid looked around anxiously.
"Your Highness, why do you care so much about a Jiang Family Shop?"
From inside the carriage came a cold voice.
"Right now, the treasury of the Great Zhou is empty, and many soldiers are going hungry! If this continues, how can we fight against the Great Xia's forty thousand Iron Cavalry?"
The Qingyue Army, led by Lin Qingyue, had achieved victory after victory over the past five years precisely because of the ample supplies they received! It is said that all of this came from that small Jiang Family Shop. Therefore, I must see for myself what is so extraordinary about this Jiang Family Shop!
Hearing this, the maid's expression suddenly changed as she stammered and pointed ahead.
"Miss, it seems that this Jiang Family Shop is on fire!"
