At this point, Lin Qingyue had no reason to oppose Su Qianxue, no matter how reluctant she felt. Taking a deep breath, she decided to take a step back and compromise.
"I am willing to hand over the Lin Family Army's token to assist Luo in investigating the internal traitors. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!" As she spoke, she respectfully handed a token to the attendant beside her.
This token was the key that allowed all members of the Lin Family Army to heed her command. Seeing this token was akin to seeing Lin Qingyue herself; with it, not only would the investigation be more convenient, but it would also alleviate Su Qianxue's concerns about her.
The attendant carefully accepted the token and then passed it to Su Qianxue. After glancing at it, Su Qianxue accurately tossed it at Luo Yuhua's feet.
"Make sure to investigate thoroughly, not just for the sake of Da Zhou, but also to clear the Lin Family Army's name." The words sounded good, but their true meaning was unspoken.
Luo Yuhua felt overwhelmed and had no choice but to bend down and pick up the military token. "Yes, I will not let Your Majesty down. I will ensure that Lin General and the Lin Family Army receive a proper explanation!"
In this situation, Su Qianxue was satisfied. Her actions served as a warning to Lin Qingyue; had she not been sensible and voluntarily allowed the entire Lin Family Army to undergo investigation, Su Qianxue would not hesitate to let her know that everything done was for Jiang Han.
Thinking of Jiang Han made her expression soften considerably. "All of you, if there’s nothing else, you may leave court!"
Meanwhile, Jiang Han rubbed his eyes and realized he had arrived in Canglan City. This time, he was not here for an auction; he was here for weapons!
It must be said that in Da Zhou, swords and spears were essential items for those in the martial world. The key issue was that Jiang Han did not know how to fight! Previously, when he had been engaged to Lin Qingyue, there hadn’t been so many people looking for trouble.
One could say that with a stable shop and Lin Qingyue behaving herself, life had been peaceful. However, he never expected Lin Qingyue would act so decisively.
The other party wanted to burn down his shop, which meant there would be no way out for him. For self-defense, the cold weapons of the Great Zhou were of no use; he had to rely on modern technology!
For Jiang Han, the best self-defense weapon was undoubtedly a handgun. Unfortunately, if anyone discovered the weapon he was using, it would likely attract the attention of various forces, leading to a hunt that would only add to his troubles. At least until he established his own power, he couldn’t easily bring such things into the Great Zhou.
After some contemplation, he decided that a folding military knife and pepper spray would suffice for self-defense. As for ranged attacks, he would rely on the arrows of the Great Zhou. However, he planned to improve those arrows significantly.
Thus, he went to the black market and purchased a highly concealed Swiss army knife. He also prepared plenty of pepper spray at home. Besides these items, Jiang Han did not forget the main reason for his visit: a lighter! While the flint stones of the Great Zhou could be used, nothing was more convenient for someone accustomed to modern technology than a lighter!
However, he had to be cautious with it; if discovered by others, it could also stir up a great deal of trouble.
In the capital of the Great Zhou, at Langya Wangfu, Lin Qingyue angrily complained to Langya Wang Heir: “That Jiang Han has used some means to collude with the Imperial Merchant! This is outrageous! To make matters worse, I heard that the Imperial Merchant was personally promoted by His Majesty. Because of this incident, His Majesty nearly stripped me of my Military Authority!”
The Military Authority was a significant matter!
Langya Wang Heir looked shocked: “Could it be that Su Qianxue knows something and is using this matter to attack you? How else could she possibly strip you of your Military Authority? You didn’t hand it over, did you?”
The Military Authority was extremely important to him. Although Langya Prince secretly maintained private soldiers, they were ultimately not as legitimate as the soldiers of the Great Zhou.
Langya Wang Heir wanted to marry Lin Qingyue, not only because of her striking appearance but also due to her control over the Military Authority. The two were now tied together in a precarious situation; he couldn’t let Lin Qingyue’s Military Authority be easily taken away by Su Qianxue!
Lin Qingyue sighed heavily: “I’m not foolish; I haven’t handed over my Military Authority. However, things have been tough for the Lin Family Army lately as they are under investigation by Luo Yuhua and Su Qianxue.”
Upon hearing this, the Heir breathed a sigh of relief but quickly realized he had shown weakness and hurriedly asked: “Who has Jiang Han been in contact with before?”
A question truly caught Lin Qingyue off guard: she hadn't been keeping an eye on him, but she had arranged for a subordinate to watch over Jiang Han, who claimed to have never encountered any significant figures. However, not long ago, a woman of remarkable attire had made a deal with Jiang Han; that woman must be the Imperial Merchant, right?
The Heir's interest was instantly piqued. "Oh? The Imperial Merchant is actually a woman?"
When it comes to the Imperial Merchant, any merchant with ties to the royal family could be referred to as such. Each Imperial Merchant possesses their own unique business, and differing businesses imply varying statuses among the Imperial Merchants. The Heir had encountered several Imperial Merchants himself and was fairly well-informed. He hadn't heard of any woman being specifically appointed as the Imperial Merchant by Su Qianxue.
Lin Qingyue frowned tightly. "Are you actually interested in that faceless Imperial Merchant?"
"Forget about that Imperial Merchant for now; the problem lies with Jiang Han. It seems he wants to use the connection with the Imperial Merchant to step over us!"
This statement made the Heir scoff. "Jiang Han is just a small-time waste; now he has lucked out by associating with the Imperial Merchant and dares to stir trouble in front of Su Qianxue. Don't worry, I'll teach him a lesson."
"While I am indeed curious about who this Imperial Merchant is, I want to see whether her standards are high or if my father, Langya Prince, holds more power!"
With that, a plan began to take shape in his mind. Jiang Han could not be left unchecked.
"You also need to be cautious during this time; Su Qianxue might have her eyes on your Military Authority. To prevent any unforeseen complications, we can..."
He leaned closer to Lin Qingyue and shared his plan.
Lin Qingyue looked at the Heir with admiration. "Let's proceed according to your plan then. I'll stay home obediently for the next few days. If you have any news, don't forget to let me know!"
The Heir smiled and embraced her warmly.
Between you and me, there will be no secrets. As for Jiang Han, there is a path to death!
