"Do you want the Seven Treasures of Langya Wangfu? Do you know that our Wangfu only has Ten Treasures in total? Each treasure is worth a fortune, at least redeemable for One Hundred Thousand Taels of Gold!"
Che Chengyun glared at Jiang Han, completely taken aback by the latter's audacity.
Jiang Han stood with his hands behind his back, noticing Che Chengyun's expression and couldn't help but chuckle. "It's mutual, isn't it? Don't you also want Two Hundred Thousand Troops and a year's worth of rations? If that's the case, then a price must be paid! I can wager the rations needed for Two Hundred Thousand Troops over fifteen months against your seven treasures! If you lack the courage to gamble, you can always consult your father!"
Jiang Han spoke with absolute confidence, taking his time. It wasn't just about modern songs paired with contemporary classical dance advantages! More importantly, even if your Langya Wangfu dancers were exceptional, they would still rely on live background music from instruments like the Bronze Bell, Gu Zheng, and Guqin.
I can rent a set of world-class sound equipment! I can invite top musicians to perform live and record it. Then, using tuning equipment, I can adjust the music to its best state. Furthermore, I could even bring in some lighting equipment. As for powering these devices, I could easily buy a small generator to supply electricity!
Then, with top-notch sound and lighting equipment combined with premium background music, how could Jiang Han believe that Piao Xue Princess would lose to you? Jiang Han only planned to use ordinary choreography to defeat Che Chengyun. If there were seven more treasures at stake, that would be entirely different!
"Heir," Piao Xue Princess's voice floated in. "Since you want to raise the stakes, why not go all in? How about wagering all ten treasures?"
Che Chengyun saw Piao Xue Princess walk out of Jiang Han's shop, dressed in a dance outfit. He was momentarily stunned and asked Jiang Han in disbelief, "Who is your dancer for the competition? It can't be Piao Xue Princess, can it? If that's the case, it's definitely a predetermined choice for Piao Xue Princess!"
I am the contestant, the Piao Xue Princess!
Of course, you don’t need to worry. When the time comes for evaluation, it will be fair and just. You can also invite court ministers and renowned families from the capital to watch the dance selection! After all, this is to select a Dancer for the performance of the Xia Guo Shi. Jiang Han casually remarked.
Che Chengyun’s cheeks twitched slightly; he was genuinely concerned that Jiang Han might rig the competition. However, upon further reflection, if they invited the Civil and Military Officials over, and if Piao Xue Princess and Ling Xue competed without a clear difference in skill, then half of the Civil and Military Officials would speak on our behalf. Perhaps we could even win.
But then there were the seven treasures. Jiang Han, I need some time to think this over; I’ll give you an answer tomorrow. However, if I agree to the seven treasures, your demands are not enough.
Che Chengyun displayed a greedy expression and said, “I want Two Hundred Thousand Troops and twenty months’ worth of Compressed Biscuit! Also, I heard you bought some divine weapons for the palace, like the Eight-Sided Han Sword. I want ten thousand of those!”
No problem! Jiang Han chuckled lightly.
Huh? Piao Xue Princess was taken aback and couldn’t help but feel anxious. If we really lose, and those supplies and swords end up with the Langya Prince, wouldn’t that give him real power to rebel?
Yan Dong and Cen Ya also caught wind of this and exchanged worried glances with Piao Xue Princess after learning the situation. Who doesn’t know that the Langya Prince holds sway over half of the Civil and Military Officials? Although he hasn’t openly rebelled, his power is already overwhelming.
Shopkeeper Jiang, if this is agreed upon... Yan Dong hesitated to speak further.
Trust me, I have the ability to ensure that Langya Wangfu won’t gain a single coin! Jiang Han smiled confidently.
Alright, Jiang Han. You’ve laid out your terms; I’ll head back now to discuss this! Che Chengyun took Jiang Han’s offer and returned to Langya Wangfu.
Jiang Han led the three women back to the courtyard where they began enjoying a small hot pot meal. Su Qianxue learned from the three women about Jiang Han’s gamble with Che Chengyun and couldn’t help but feel anxious. What if the Langya Prince wins?
Seeing Su Qianxue lost in thought, Jiang Han picked up a piece of beef and placed it in her bowl with a gentle smile. “The day after tomorrow is when we compete.”
Yes, I need to leave here for two days to prepare something that will ensure Piao Xue wins! During this time, if Che Chengyun recovers, then Yan Dong will help me agree to it!
Yan Dong was filled with worry, yet he nodded and complied with the instructions. Su Qianxue sighed and handed several prepared treasures to Jiang Han. Upon receiving them, Jiang Han was surprised to find a Supreme Sheep Fat Jade Bottle and a bronze sword that had been preserved for over two hundred years. He immediately smiled and patted Su Qianxue on the shoulder to express his gratitude.
After finishing the hot pot, Jiang Han picked up the items and left, heading outside the capital city. With a thought, he returned to the present world.
In the auction house, Jiang Han brought four treasures and asked Lao Jin to help contact the equipment supplier. He wanted to rent the world's top sound system, the best lighting equipment, and a group of classical musicians for a live performance. Afterward, he planned to mix the audio and create a disc for easy playback.
Inside Langya Wangfu, Langya Prince frowned upon hearing Che Chengyun's response and murmured to himself, "Seven treasures? Two hundred thousand troops, twenty months of compressed biscuits, and ten thousand Eight-Sided Han Swords." Jiang Han's offered price was surprisingly high.
Sitting nearby, the Princess of Xia smiled and said, "Langya Prince, if you are hesitant to gamble, I can help you acquire those two treasures."
"Oh?" Langya Prince noticed the Ninth Princess. Her expression was icy as she coldly snorted and remarked, "If Su Qianxue can win, it is highly likely due to Jiang Han's influence. Since he has disrupted our plans and caused us to lose hundreds of thousands of taels in profit, how can we let him off the hook?"
Moreover, when they entered the Great Zhou Palace, they had already noticed those Female Guards wielding Eight-Sided Han Swords and some weapon resembling a Fire Axe. Not only were these weapons beautifully designed, but they also learned that their sharpness was exceptionally high! Thus, they desired them as well. If they could bring such weapons back to Xia Kingdom, they might even replicate them.
Langya Prince listened without much response and simply asked, "What treasures?"
"The De Du Ten Complete Porcelain and an exquisite Opal Necklace—also known as the Seven-Colored Fairy Necklace," replied the Ninth Princess.
