In front of the Jiang Family Shop, the maid pointed excitedly at the establishment.
Inside the carriage, a delicate hand lifted the curtain, revealing a stunning woman dressed in a light blue gown made of fine silk. Adorned with exquisite jewelry, she exuded an air of nobility. A flicker of surprise crossed her refined features as she took in the scene.
Wasn't this Jiang Family Shop under the protection of the Lin family? Why had such a fire suddenly broken out?
"Put it out," she commanded.
Upon hearing this, the maid quickly nodded in acknowledgment and cast a knowing glance toward the shadows. Instantly, a group of dark figures appeared around the Jiang Family Shop. The roaring flames that had been consuming the building began to subside almost immediately.
Su Qianxue stood atop the carriage, watching as a disheveled figure emerged from the Jiang Family Shop, brushing dust off his clothes. Seeing this, Su Qianxue raised an eyebrow. As the Empress of Da Zhou, she had encountered countless people over the years. However, few could remain so composed in the face of life-threatening danger as Jiang Han did.
With her hands folded before her, she approached Jiang Han with an air of calmness.
"You people really are persistent; even now, you still want to destroy my Jiang Family Shop?"
Jiang Han wiped the dust from his mouth and replied coldly, "You’re not from the Lin family. I apologize."
Su Qianxue was taken aback by this revelation, her brows slightly furrowing in curiosity. "How do you know we aren't from the Lin family?"
Jiang Han sat on a nearby step and exhaled deeply. "Although the Lin family has gained notoriety recently, their status is limited. If I’m not mistaken, your attire is unique to the Imperial Merchant lineage in the capital. Therefore, you cannot be from the Lin family. Now, tell me what business you have."
Su Qianxue lowered her gaze to her clothing and shook her head. She had calculated every detail but hadn’t anticipated this oversight.
The maid blinked in curiosity and asked, "How did you know we wanted to do business with you?"
Jiang Han chuckled self-deprecatingly. "If it’s not business, then are you interested in me as a merchant who has just been jilted? Don’t make me laugh!"
Su Qianxue stepped forward, fixing her intense gaze on Jiang Han. "If you can provide ten Wan Dajun's worth of supplies within three days, I will agree to any terms you propose. Even helping you deal with the Lin family would be no trouble."
Jiang Han turned back to glance at the Jiang Family Shop, extending his hand in a gesture.
"Shang Yan Shang, if you want supplies, that's no problem, but you must exchange them for the corresponding gold, silver, and jewels. This is a small business; we do not offer credit!"
Upon hearing this, Su Qianxue's heart skipped a beat.
Indeed! This person could truly provide a large quantity of supplies! The amount needed for ten Wan Dajun in a month was an astronomical figure in the eyes of others. Yet, this person's first reaction was neither surprise nor panic; he directly accepted the terms. This indicated that he had great confidence in being able to produce such a vast amount of supplies!
This was the Azure Jade Sword forged by a renowned general! It even ranked on the weapons list. How about trading this sword for the supplies of ten Wan Dajun?
Jiang Han glanced at the longsword, his eyes lighting up slightly. His fingers rested on the hilt as he pondered for a moment before nodding.
However! He would come here to collect the supplies in three days!
After finishing his statement, Jiang Han picked up the longsword and once again entered the Jiang Family Shop.
Watching Jiang Han's retreating figure, Su Qianxue's lips curled up slightly. This person was quite interesting; she needed to find out more about his connections with the Lin family.
The maid nodded eagerly, understanding her task.
Canglan Lingyue Auction.
Jiang Han, dressed in sportswear and wearing a calm expression, arrived at the luxurious private room. As he surveyed his surroundings, he couldn't help but shake his head.
Was it really this number one room again? Over the years, through selling some antiques from the Great Zhou Dynasty, Jiang Han had become a guest at Canglan Lingyue Auction. This number one room seemed to have become exclusively his.
Just as Jiang Han was lost in thought, the auctioneer Jin Ye entered with a teapot in hand and a broad smile on his face.
"Brother Jiang, I’ve finally been able to welcome you! What treasures do you bring this time?"
Jiang Han didn’t hesitate; he placed the Azure Jade Sword on a nearby table and leisurely began to savor the fine wine before him.
At that moment, Jin Ye's entire attention was completely focused on the sword! He even took out a magnifying glass from his pocket and studied it meticulously.
After quite some time, Jin Ye finally exhaled deeply and looked at Jiang Han with astonishment.
"Brother Jiang, you’ve brought something extraordinary this time! This sword has at least a thousand years of history! Just look at its craftsmanship; it's not ordinary at all!"
The dragon beard on the hilt symbolized that this sword was destined for a royal owner even before its birth! In terms of collectible value, this item was worth at least fifty million!
Jiang Han nodded upon hearing this. The figure matched his expectations.
Transaction completed! As the card was swiped, Jin Ye patted Jiang Han on the shoulder. The money has been credited; you can check it. Also, remember to think of me first next time you come across something good!
Jiang Han couldn’t help but shake his head. Jin Ye was as straightforward as ever! However, now that the funds were settled, it was time to fulfill his promise.
Jiang Han entered the warehouse and looked at the mountain of food piled up inside, letting out a breath. This food was enough for Wan Dajun to live on!
He packed all the food and took it away.
Once again, Jiang Han opened his eyes, finding himself leaning on the table at Jiang Family Shop. Looking around at the desolate surroundings, he shook his head. The Lin family had really gone to great lengths to make things difficult for him here!
Just then, a sound of footsteps approached. Jiang Han raised his head and saw a group of soldiers walking toward Jiang Family Shop with disdainful expressions. The upper right side of their armor bore the character for Lin.
Jiang Han frowned slightly as he looked at Zheng Changsheng in the middle and coldly asked, “What are you here for?”
Zheng Changsheng rested his hand on the hilt of his sword, gazing at Jiang Han with a playful expression. “You have one day to prepare supplies for five Wan Dajun. If you fail to produce them, you will not see tomorrow's sunlight!”
