"Generals, do not worry! I will pay full attention to this matter. General Chen Yue is a veteran of our dynasty, and I will not allow the Old General to meet such a tragic end!"
After Langya Prince delivered some formal remarks, he dismissed the various commanders.
Che Chengyun couldn't help but murmur, "Father, what is going on? General Chen Yue..." His family's estate had a hundred servants, fifty personal guards, and forty-seven family members! The entire family had been exterminated, and those fifty personal guards were all seasoned warriors who had survived countless battles! Lin Qingyue's three hundred personal guards combined might not even match these fifty men. He clicked his tongue, fully aware of General Chen Yue's strength. The Old General Chen Yue wielded an eighty-pound spear! His two sons were both fierce warriors—one wielded a seventy-pound spear while the other could draw a three-hundred-pound bow; they were all heroes on the battlefield. Yet, the three of them had been brutally slaughtered, with over two hundred family members left without a single survivor. This left Che Chengyun feeling an extreme sense of danger.
Langya Prince's gaze was deep as he ignored Che Chengyun. Upon hearing a voice, he turned towards the inner chamber behind the jade screen and said, "Ninth Princess, you have gone too far with this matter!"
From within came the voice of the Ninth Princess: "Chen Yue has killed thousands of my Maple Forest Iron Cavalry; this grudge must be avenged!"
Che Chengyun was taken aback. When did she arrive?
"Be quiet and stay aside," Langya Prince scolded Che Chengyun.
He walked into the inner chamber and saw the Ninth Princess in a long dress, reclining on a chair with her long legs draped over another chair. He frowned immediately. "Ninth Princess, this is my residence. You come uninvited, which is already quite rude! And to dress so inappropriately while in my home—what does that mean?"
The Ninth Princess leisurely sipped her fine wine and chuckled lightly, "Isn't it because Su Wen has arrived? I just met with him and didn't have time to change before coming here."
Hearing this, Langya Prince's expression soured as he irritably replied, "You slaughter our dynasty's high-ranking generals in the capital—was it merely for revenge? You expect me to assist you?"
"If you can seize power, I would also gain quite a few benefits," the Ninth Princess said with a charming smile.
She paused for a moment before continuing, "Originally, when Su Wen arrived, I intended to kill Jiang Han first!"
The Chen family was completely annihilated, yet who would have thought that Jiang Han had vanished without a trace?
Su Wen?
You mean Quan Gai Su Wen? the Langya Prince inquired.
Indeed! The Ninth Princess replied with a light laugh.
The Langya Prince's expression changed dramatically as he exclaimed, "Quan Gai Su Wen, the foremost young general within the Xia Kingdom, capable of wielding four long weapons in battle and having achieved an astonishing twenty-three consecutive kills. No wonder he was able to brutally slaughter Chen Yue and his two sons!"
What could Quan Gai Su Wen's intentions be upon arriving here?
"Ninth Princess, if you do not speak, I may just suggest to Su Qianxue to send troops to encircle and kill Quan Gai Su Wen!"
Though he is fierce, surrounded by soldiers, even a deity would meet their end!
Upon hearing this, the Ninth Princess abruptly turned her head and coldly declared, "If you kill Su Wen, I will kill you!"
The Langya Prince snorted disdainfully and said, "Do not create chaos; your Confucian Scholar from the Xia Kingdom is about to arrive. This Palace has helped you once, applying pressure on this case to make things difficult for Su Qianxue! You must also assist me once by finding Jiang Han's whereabouts; I want him dead!"
As she toyed with the jade wine cup in her hand, the Ninth Princess spoke with an icy clarity.
After pondering for a moment, the Langya Prince nodded. "Alright, but Quan Gai Su Wen must not enter the capital! Otherwise, if he gets surrounded, I will be powerless to help and may even have to agree with the others at the gate to send troops to kill him!"
"That is only natural!" the Ninth Princess replied with a smile.
"Oh right, my lord. The Confucian Scholar coming this time is Su Wen's teacher in literature! At a critical moment, I hope you can cooperate and let Su Wen step forward to challenge the Ru Scholars of the Great Zhou Dynasty so that his literary talent can spread throughout the world," the Ninth Princess said languidly.
"Understood!" the Langya Prince nodded.
In the present world!
At the auction house, Jiang Han was astonished to see two weapons and tokens being sold for ten-digit astronomical prices; his eyes widened in disbelief.
He truly did not expect that two Brass Gem Weapons could fetch such an outrageous price. If he could win over Wang Yin from the Langya Prince for auction, could it also sell for a ten-digit sum?
At the moment of Jiang Han's astonishment, he witnessed the Blood Coral being auctioned for an astronomical price, with eight small targets being set. He was once again taken aback.
Jiang Han stood up in shock, seeing the wealthy merchant joyfully admiring the Blood Coral, feeling as if it were all unreal.
Ah, Blood Coral, although it is so large and rare! But after all, it is merely a product of seabed sediment and the growth of microorganisms.
Indeed, the world of the rich is something I still cannot comprehend.
Jiang Han muttered to himself, wondering how these old tycoons could bear to spend so much money on a mere decorative item like Blood Coral.
Quickly, the auction for the exquisite jade vase concluded, fetching prices for two small targets.
After the auction ended, Lao Jin directly swiped his card and transferred a substantial sum to Jiang Han.
Lao Jin couldn't help but exclaim, "Dear guest, you are truly a benefactor in my life! These four auction items are enough to make my name remembered throughout this auction!"
"In the future, if there are any expensive treasures to be auctioned, remember to come to me! Originally at seventy-five percent of the price, now I’ll give you eighty-three percent! If it's a rare treasure, something like a jade seal of this caliber, I can offer you ninety percent!"
The auction might charge handling fees and client fees, but for valued clients, the percentage taken is less.
Jiang Han chuckled and replied, "I may not be able to get my hands on a jade seal, but Wang Yin might just be possible!"
"What?!" Lao Jin looked at Jiang Han in shock, his body trembling slightly. He kept murmuring, "If it really is Wang Yin, you must remember me!"
Jiang Han nodded and then left the auction house. Over the next couple of days, he gathered various items he had purchased. He also bought some self-defense tools, such as an Oil Saw, touted as a Carbon-Based Lifeform stabilizer.
After putting away all these items, he returned directly to the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Upon arriving back at his shop's courtyard, before he could even rest, he saw Piao Xue Princess running towards him excitedly.
In his moment of surprise, he noticed that Piao Xue Princess had already embraced him. His hands were somewhat unsure where to go but after a moment's thought, he placed them gently on her back.
After embracing Jiang Han, Piao Xue Princess earnestly said, “ Shopkeeper Jiang, please help my Elder Sister! Something big has happened!”
