The ten thousand troops of Lin Qingyue have now dwindled to just five thousand, with Wan Lao Ruo left incapacitated. After losing these five thousand, Lin Qingyue, without any financial support, can no longer restore the size of her army.
In truth, if Lin Qingyue had initially handed over command of the ten thousand troops to Su Qianxue, they would have immediately received military pay and supplies. However, Lin Qingyue has always been unwilling to do so.
"General, it's time to retreat! We have no hope left!" Zhou Chong said dejectedly.
Lin Qingyue slowly stood up and murmured, "Tell the soldiers that I will bring them food and weapons!" She gazed in the direction of the capital and softly added, "Jiang Han, from now on, I will come to your courtyard every day!"
Naked and kneeling outside your courtyard until you agree.
Lin Qingyue did not believe that you could be so hard-hearted. As long as you are willing to accept her, one day she would regain control of the two hundred thousand troops.
For power, Lin Qingyue was willing to do anything. She rode alone towards the capital.
On the city wall, Jiu Gong suddenly coughed up blood and cursed angrily, "Jiang Han, you bastard! One attack wasn't enough for you; you want to come again?"
If it weren't for Mu Prime Minister arriving in time, Lin Qingyue would have captured her! Lin Qingyue actually claimed she would take me and strip me bare before sending me to your bed, Jiang Han, you scoundrel!
She was furious; she never imagined that Lin Qingyue would dare say such things. She was the dignified Jiu Gong of Xia Guo!
Lin Qingyue actually wanted to capture her for Jiang Han's pleasure—what a disgrace! Jiang Han must be coveting my beauty!
If only you had shown enough talent and treated me with respect back then! I could never have shared a bed with you or entered into a romantic relationship.
But now, I want to tear you apart, Jiang Han, you bastard!
Jiu Gong screamed in agony. The few thousand troops she had left were completely wiped out; she had no one left under her command. If it weren't for Mu Prime Minister's thirty thousand cavalry arriving in time, she would have been captured by Lin Qingyue and sent to the capital.
Years of hard work had been destroyed overnight; anyone would go mad in such a situation.
"Your Highness, our thirty thousand cavalry has suffered heavy losses! Your few thousand soldiers are almost entirely wiped out!"
From Wei Jiang's perspective, it is still wise to proceed with caution. We will discuss the next steps once Chancellor's army arrives.
The vanguard cavalry commander of Xia Kingdom, Wen Xinhong, gestured towards Jiu Gong for protection. He had once admired Jiu Gong, but his family was merely an ordinary first-class family, and the disparity in status was too great.
Jiu Gong looked back at Wen Xinhong and recalled that his family also had several Wan Dajun. She couldn't help but reveal a beautiful expression. "Wen Xinhong, would you be willing to be this palace's lover? If only I could have you as my intimate companion! My family and the army under my command would gladly fight for you!"
Wen Xinhong knelt down, expressing his thoughts. "Then what are you waiting for? Come, embrace this palace!"
Jiu Gong spoke coldly, and soon she was lifted by Wen Xinhong and carried into the room. Right now, she needed military strength for revenge, and Wen Xinhong was her best option. As for Mu Jinkun? Although the Mu Prime Minister was on his way, she had no desire to marry him; she only wanted to maintain a lover's relationship with him. Therefore, the Mu Prime Minister would surely support her wholeheartedly.
In comparison, it would be better to take on another lover like Wen Xinhong to ensure that when she arrived at Great Zhou Capital, she would have the strength to settle accounts with Jiang Han.
Days passed.
In Jiang Han's tavern, Cen Ya helplessly opened the courtyard door, revealing Lin Qingyue kneeling outside without any clothes on. Upon seeing this scene, Jiang Han remarked, "You don't need to beg me to change my mind! I understand your intentions clearly; you are too ambitious! Today, you kneel outside my courtyard without a stitch on for weapons and supplies. Tomorrow, you could come to kill me for something else. You are too extreme; I cannot trust you!"
If Lin Qingyue were to live honestly and offer help when he needed it, perhaps he wouldn't harbor such disdain for her. But every time Lin Qingyue deliberately sought affection in an attempt to win back his heart, it only made him more repulsed.
"You won't agree? Then I'll just keep kneeling here! If anyone sees, it will only embarrass you! After all, I am your former fiancée!" Lin Qingyue said, disregarding her dignity.
Jiang Han turned to Cen Ya and instructed, "Make sure no male servants pass by the outer perimeter of this courtyard. Women are fine, but if Lin Qingyue wants to kneel, let her continue."
In this cold winter, after a while, she would likely just go home on her own. "Yes, Shopkeeper Jiang," Cen Ya nodded.
Ling Xue approached with her arms crossed and saw Lin Qingyue's injuries worsening. She couldn't help but say, "Stop degrading yourself like this! If there’s no hope for love, then don’t pursue it! What’s lost cannot be regained."
Yan Dong also chimed in, "At the time, Shopkeeper Jiang warned you that you were too greedy in your pursuit of power. If you want to turn things around, you can do so by giving up all your military power and official positions to become an ordinary person!"
"That demand is no different from killing me; I will never agree!" Lin Qingyue retorted.
"Then continue kneeling; at least it shows my capability! The current General Lin Qingyue is kneeling outside my courtyard in the dead of winter to win back my heart—if this were written down, it would surely be passed down through the ages," Jiang Han said nonchalantly. "Oh right, don’t give her any clothes; let’s see how long she can kneel."
Cen Ya and Yan Dong nodded in agreement, indicating they wouldn’t provide her with any clothing.
Jiang Han waved his hand slightly, signaling Cen Ya to close the door. Cen Ya promptly shut the courtyard gate, leaving Lin Qingyue outside.
"Hurry, it's getting dark!" Su Qianxue said as she donned women's clothing and rushed in to carry the frozen Lin Qingyue inside. "What’s going on? I just arrived and saw General Lin collapsed outside Shopkeeper Jiang's courtyard without a stitch on."
"She really hasn’t left?" Piao Xue exclaimed in surprise. She stepped forward to assess the nearly frostbitten Lin Qingyue and sighed deeply. "Your desire for power is truly beyond comprehension."
