In the palace, within Su Qianxue's chamber, Jiang Han lay on the bed. To his left sat Ling Xue, feeding him grapes, while Piao Xue Princess sat beside him, massaging his legs. He leaned against Yan Dong, savoring this delightful scene, gazing at the various beautiful palace maids before him, feeling as if he had reached the pinnacle of life.
Amidst the laughter and playful banter of the Empress, her sister, and attendants, he thought to himself that such joy was a great pleasure in life—there would be no regrets in death!
"Next batch!" he called out dismissively, waving his hand as he selected the palace maids to serve him. After twenty young maids left, another group lined up, waiting for Jiang Han's selection.
"Jiang Han! I have something to discuss with you!" Su Qianxue burst into the palace, her expression transformed into one of feigned sorrow, resembling a weeping pear blossom. This act drew the attention of many palace maids, who turned their heads away, not daring to witness the scene. This was precisely what Su Qianxue intended.
She approached Jiang Han and said sweetly, "Jiang Han, I've been bullied." Now that Su Qianxue was Jiang Han's woman, it was entirely normal for her to act spoiled!
However, when she was in court, she still exuded the commanding presence of an Empress. Jiang Han embraced Su Qianxue and listened to her recounting of events in the court. He couldn't help but remark, "I remember giving you that Electric Baton weapon; it should be enough to handle these matters!"
The high-powered Electric Baton was more than sufficient for battlefield use! Yet he felt it still wasn't entirely safe. "A hundred thousand elite troops want to deal with our mere ten thousand!"
Su Qianxue pouted and nestled into Jiang Han's arms, her voice soft as water. "I want a foolproof plan; I can exchange treasures for it."
Jiang Han gently tapped Su Qianxue's nose and replied playfully, "If you bring me three more treasures, I'll give you a powerful weapon!" Since last time when she had handed over more than thirty treasures at once, it had caught the attention of a domestic tycoon—a billionaire who particularly admired Jiang Han's artifacts.
Jiang Han also planned to approach Lao Jin and that tycoon to purchase a batch of landmines or grenades for Su Qianxue's use.
In normal circumstances, such firearms would be impossible to purchase, but now Jiang Han had become a billionaire with a fortune of seventy to eighty billion. If he wanted to acquire these items, it would be as easy as lifting a finger; the main issue was the sheer quantity required.
To defeat ten Wan Dajun, he would need over ten thousand landmines. Acquiring such a large amount of military equipment necessitated connections with influential figures. The billionaire who could facilitate this was just the person he needed.
Ten thousand landmines, each costing at most a few hundred dollars, could be obtained for just a few million! Adding in several thousand grenades would likely only cost an additional one or two million.
Jiang Han had not shared the secret formula for gunpowder with Su Qianxue; instead, he opted for bulk purchases of military supplies to prevent anyone in this world from replicating them. If they managed to replicate the landmines and grenades, there would be no need for Jiang Han to buy guns next time.
“Really? Just three treasures will do?” Su Qianxue looked at Jiang Han in surprise.
“Yes, just three treasures,” he replied. “But tonight, you need to make me very happy.”
Jiang Han said this with a playful smile, his hand resting on Su Qianxue’s cheek.
Su Qianxue replied earnestly, “I will definitely make you happy, but how long will it take for these supplies to arrive? This isn’t just about me; it concerns the safety of the entire nation. I can’t afford to take it lightly, and I hope you can understand!”
“I can understand your situation,” Jiang Han assured her lightly. “After tonight, I will leave to arrange for these supplies. In about three days, I should be able to bring them to you!”
Su Qianxue’s words repeatedly emphasized the importance of the supplies; it wasn’t that she didn’t value Jiang Han. As an emperor, she naturally prioritized her country and her people.
Matters of governance and war were issues that affected millions of lives; they could not be taken lightly.
“In that case, let’s do this together!” she said. “By the way, I’ve also selected a group of palace maids!”
“The palace here feels quite nice. After I arrive, I’ll bring some more things over and make some modifications,” Jiang Han remarked as he surveyed his surroundings.
“This is the inner hall; I’ll stay here!” he continued. “Every day, you can work in the imperial study—this way, we won’t interfere with each other.”
“I’ll spend the first half of each month here with you and the second half at my restaurant! After all, living in the palace is enjoyable but can also become monotonous,” Jiang Han concluded, preferring to reside in his restaurant after all.
Su Qianxue was overjoyed and immediately pounced on Jiang Han upon hearing the news.
In Lin Manor, Lin Qingyue, who had not gone to court, learned of the situation from Zhou Chong. Zhou Chong keenly remarked, "This battle will undoubtedly be the Royal Guard facing off against the elite forces of Xia Kingdom! General, I believe we can select another ten thousand strong troops from Wan Lao Ruo!"
He continued, "Once Su Qianxue's Wan Dajun is defeated, we will rush to the capital at the first opportunity and take Jiang Han away." He then produced a vial of medicine, saying, "This potion will ensure that even a monk can become a stallion after drinking it. By then, General, you will be with Jiang Han day and night. As long as you conceive Jiang Han's child, even if she doesn't like the mother, she will take care of you for the sake of the child."
Lin Qingyue nodded slightly, murmuring to herself, "Jiang Han, your heart is so cold because I have wronged you. But the child is innocent; I believe you won't vent your anger on them. As long as I have your child, I don't believe you can remain so heartless. Jiang Han, oh Jiang Han! With normal means, I cannot win your heart! Therefore, I will resort to such despicable tactics. You may have many women, but there are not many who can be the mother of your child. When the time comes, I don't believe you can remain indifferent while looking at a hungry child."
Lin Qingyue and Zhou Chong plotted their plan. Once Su Qianxue was defeated, they would immediately mobilize their forces to take Jiang Han away. They would ensure that Jiang Han and Lin Qingyue lived together day and night; she was confident that she would conceive Jiang Han's child.
"Deputy General Zhou, you are doing very well," Lin Qingyue said excitedly. "In the future, when Jiang Han becomes my husband again, I will become the new Empress. At that time, you will be a great general in the court I establish."
