Seeing this scene, Jiang Han placed his hand on Su Qianxue's shoulder and said softly, "This is normal. Compared to the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Xia Kingdom is like an egg against a rock; you are merely a small kingdom in a remote area. When you collide with such a massive force, you must be cautious and strategic at every step."
"You, Su Qianxue, if you were to act rashly and send all your troops to battle against the Xia Kingdom Army, that would be the height of foolishness. Feeling exhausted and helpless about all of this is completely normal! This is the game of nations. You want something; Mu Jinkun's father wants something too! If you cannot reach a mutually acceptable agreement, then you can only resort to gambling—let both armies engage in battle."
Jiang Han spoke with a sense of inevitability. "You cannot rely on a grand decisive battle to reclaim lost territory; you can only take a gamble! No, why would the Mu Prime Minister agree to return the territories of the Great Zhou Dynasty that have been occupied by the Xia Kingdom?"
"Indeed!" Su Qianxue sighed. "I know that, but I just feel so drained. If I were not feeling emotionally exhausted, I wouldn't have come here to seek comfort from you in the middle of the night."
Hearing this, Jiang Han couldn't help but smile. "This is all part of the game. As time goes by, you will grow stronger!" He began to recount Su Qianxue's progress. "From being just a Puppet Empress at the beginning, now you command sixty thousand elite troops and half of the civil and military officials as Empress. All of this has only taken a little over half a year. If you can endure just a bit longer, you'll become even stronger. Soon enough, there will be no need for gambling!"
Su Qianxue felt that Jiang Han was particularly kind to her and leaned against him. Standing across from them was Lin Qingyue, who felt an uncomfortable pang in her heart at this sight. Here she was, standing alone and seeking forgiveness while her former fiancé embraced the Empress with such affection.
Yet she couldn't utter a single word.
As Lin Qingyue thought about Su Qianxue's transformation over the past six months, she felt an ache in her heart. "Your Majesty," she thought bitterly, "in just half a year, you've gained so much by relying on Jiang Han! All these things should have belonged to Ben Jiangjun!"
"If I had known it would turn out this way, I should have gotten closer to Jiang Han earlier. With that connection established, even if we fell out later on, it would have been easier to mend things."
What a pity! Why didn't I take the initiative to lie down on Jiang Han's bed back then? Why did I insist on preserving my purity and searching for better options? I should have acted on my feelings for Jiang Han.
Lin Qingyue felt sorrowful in her heart; had she not given up on Jiang Han, she might have already commanded hundreds of thousands of troops by now.
Su Qianxue had everything she was supposed to have; how could she not feel jealous? Yet now, she wanted to win Jiang Han's heart back. Even though she felt unwilling as she watched the scene unfold, she could only endure it.
"I have prepared the weapons for you!"
These weapons were ready! "Do you want to take a look?"
"Yes, I really want to see these weapons!"
Su Qianxue's eyes lit up as she leaned against Jiang Han's shoulder, starting to act cute like a little cat.
"Here, let me show you!" Jiang Han stood up and retrieved an Electric Baton from his room.
When Su Qianxue saw the Electric Baton, a black stick, she couldn't help but ask, "What is this thing used for? It doesn't seem particularly impressive!"
Zzzzz...
Zzzzz...
"I've turned it on!"
The front of the Electric Baton crackled with electricity, startling Su Qianxue as she jumped back several steps.
Jiang Han chuckled and said, "This Electric Baton is a special version that can release twenty thousand volts! It's enough to instantly electrocute a person. Compared to a chainsaw, its power is even greater! You can find a Death Row Inmate for me to demonstrate it on!"
Currently, many sellers of Electric Batons claim their products have twenty thousand volts, fifty thousand volts, or even one hundred thousand volts, but that's just false advertising. Most high-voltage electricity is only around one hundred thousand volts; when a person comes into contact with high-voltage electricity, their clothes can explode and they turn black.
This one here is genuinely twenty thousand volts; unless you're wearing insulated clothing, it will electrocute you. Ancient soldiers in armor or leather would be no match for this voltage; twenty thousand volts would be enough to kill them.
Upon hearing this, Su Qianxue quickly had Yan Dong find a Death Row Inmate. The inmate was blindfolded and stood there in a daze.
Jiang Han approached him with the Electric Baton!
Zzzzz...
Zzzzz...
The intense current caused the inmate's limbs to thrash wildly; his hair stood on end, and cracks appeared in his clothing.
In just two seconds, Jiang Han put away the Electric Baton.
The Death Row Inmate collapsed to the ground.
Su Qianxue looked on in shock.
Yan Dong checked and couldn't help but exclaim, "Your Majesty, this Death Row Inmate is already dead!"
"What? Is he dead just like that? Just one hit, and he's gone?"
Shopkeeper Jiang, your Electric Baton is so powerful?
Su Qianxue's eyes widened as she carefully examined the Electric Baton in Jiang Han's hand.
Such a small black stick can kill without a trace?
Jiang Han proudly introduced, "This Electric Baton doesn't discriminate. Whether you're a fierce warrior or a cunning expert, if I hit you with this, you're done for!"
Really?
If that's the case, isn't it even more powerful than the Oil Saw?
Su Qianxue was astonished. The Oil Saw still required someone to control it to kill! But this Electric Baton—if it strikes, you absolutely can't defend against it!
Because with such a small stick, as long as it gets close to your body and makes contact, you're finished.
Jiang Han continued his explanation, "No matter what kind of armor the enemy wears, even Heavy Armor, it can still electrocute them. You just have to be careful when using it; avoid touching the enemy directly, or the current will transmit back to you!"
"Here, I've prepared three thousand sets of insulated suits and one hundred thousand pairs of insulated gloves for you! Plus, forty thousand Electric Batons and matching super strong electromagnets."
"All of these were sourced by Lao Jin. Over thirty treasures were auctioned off at the Lao Jin Auction House for forty-five small targets. Spending money on Electric Batons and insulated gloves is nothing!"
"Thank you, Shopkeeper Jiang! You've treated me so well, even better than my own emperor! In this world, no one treats me better than you!"
Su Qianxue hugged Jiang Han with immense gratitude. She never expected to receive such an extraordinary weapon! Her man, Jiang Han, always surprised her!
Cen Ya couldn't help but murmur, "A weapon like this is simply divine."
