"Heh! Want food? That's certainly not a problem! However, according to the rules, you must pay first; otherwise, you won't get a single grain!" Jiang Han looked coldly at Zheng Chang in front of him.
Did he really think he was still the old Jiang Han? In the past, because of Lin Qingyue, anyone under her command who came to the Jiang Family Shop to request food would always be answered. But now! To think he could still act like that—did he really consider himself a benefactor?
How bold! You’re just a commoner, and you dare to haggle with me here! Do you believe I won’t cut you down with a single sword strike right now? Zheng Chang raised his long sword, glaring angrily at Jiang Han.
Jiang Han glanced at Zheng Chang and then at the soldiers behind him, unimpressed as he fiddled with the abacus in his hand. "Don’t say I didn’t warn you; I’m now working with the Imperial Merchant. If you dare to touch me, you’ll be going against the royal family!"
Hearing this, Zheng Chang couldn’t help but burst into laughter. "You? Working with the Imperial Merchant? You should take a good look in the mirror and see what kind of person you are! Today, if you don’t hand over the food, I’ll smash your Jiang Family Shop!"
As Zheng Chang said this, he glanced at the soldiers and waved his hand. "Search it!"
Jiang Han set down the abacus and fixed his gaze firmly on Zheng Chang. "You dare! With such strong-arm tactics, aren’t you afraid of attracting the Guard Army?"
Zheng Chang appeared indifferent, shaking his long sword. "The Guard Army? My Jiang Jiang army has been granted the title of Grand General of the Nation; we’re in our prime! In this capital city, as long as I mention my title, who would dare not give me face? Do you think the Guard Army would offend an entire Lin family because of a worthless person like you? Ridiculous!"
Jiang Han clenched his fists, his gaze turning unusually cold.
What a family the Lins are! If that's the case, then don't blame me for being impolite.
Before Jiang Han could finish his words, he noticed in the distance a unit of the Guard Army marching in perfect formation towards the Jiang Family Shop.
At a glance, there were several people!
Seeing this scene, Zheng Chang was slightly taken aback.
They really did attract the Guard Army? This shouldn't be happening!
Moreover, under normal circumstances, a patrol from the Guard Army would consist of at most fifty people.
What’s with this many?
In broad daylight, how dare they be so audacious! Who gave you the courage?
Su Qianxue let out a cold snort and stepped out from the crowd in her elegant long dress.
She had been somewhat looking forward to this agreed-upon day, wanting to see if Jiang Han could indeed resolve the food issue.
But on her way here, she heard that Lin Qingyue had come and was causing trouble at the Jiang Family Shop!
This ignited a surge of anger within her.
Zheng Chang furrowed his brows, glancing at the Guard Army and then at Su Qianxue, suddenly understanding the situation.
A woman?
It should be noted that Lin Qingyue was hailed as the greatest female general of the Great Zhou!
In terms of status, there were hardly any women in the capital who could surpass her!
Seeing this, Zheng Chang took out his token from his pocket and looked at Su Qianxue with an air of arrogance.
I am Zheng Chang under the command of the Grand General of the Nation, sent by the general to collect the corresponding food supplies from the Jiang Family Shop!
Yet this person is just a stubborn commoner who dares to refuse to hand over the supplies!
If this stubbornness affects the general's training, then I fear no one will be able to bear the consequences!
Hearing this, Jiang Han let out a cold laugh and extended his hand towards Zheng Chang.
Refusing to pay? According to your statement, Lin Qingyue should have a corresponding receipt for this matter, right?
"As long as you can provide evidence here that I accepted your silver, I will immediately hand over the food without hesitation!"
Zheng Chang paused for a moment, his face turning crimson. After stammering for a while, he finally gritted his teeth and declared, "The general's title is proof!"
"You lowly wretch, how dare you slander the general here? You seek death!"
"Today, I will eliminate you, this treacherous villain, on behalf of the general!"
Just as Zheng Chang raised his sword, he was surrounded by several members of the Guard Army.
Seeing this scene, Zheng Chang's expression changed drastically as he fixed his gaze on Su Qianxue. "You dare to stop me? Do you know the consequences of offending my Jiang Jiang army?"
Su Qianxue pulled out a token from her waist and snorted coldly. "I am an Imperial Merchant appointed by His Majesty. Don’t think that just because you are a mere Pian Jiang, or even if Lin Qingyue were here, it would be any different! To act disrespectfully in front of me is to show disrespect to His Majesty! If this is pursued, you will be executed!"
Zheng Chang looked at the token in front of him and felt a cold sweat break out on his back. In the next second, with a thud, he knelt on the ground and bowed his head in submission. "My lord! I was blind and did not recognize greatness! Please spare my life!"
"I was just momentarily bewitched; I beg you to let me go for the sake of my Jiang Jiang army! If I am taken away for offending an Imperial Merchant..." Zheng Chang knew that would truly be the end for him! Lin Qingyue would never offend the royal family over someone like him!
"Get lost!"
Su Qianxue frowned slightly and cast a disgusted glance at Zheng Chang. "Killing such a person would only dirty my hands."
Zheng Chang felt relieved and quickly ran off into the distance.
Jiang Han looked at Su Qianxue not far away and nodded, loosening his clenched fist. "Thank you."
Su Qianxue glanced at Jiang Han, her eyes revealing a hint of curiosity. From the very beginning, she had been observing Jiang Han's expression. Even in the most critical moments, there was not a trace of panic on his face. It was as if he was confident that he could navigate through this crisis without her intervention.
"Interesting! How are you preparing the supplies?"
Jiang Han raised his hand and pointed. "Please follow me!"
Inside the warehouse, Su Qianxue gazed at the mountain of rice and some dry goods, her red lips slightly parted. "Is this for real?!"
"These are your supplies; you can take them away," Jiang Han said calmly, sitting nearby.
Su Qianxue coughed lightly, snapping back to reality, and quickly nodded. "Alright!"
As a group of soldiers began to transport the food, Su Qianxue glanced at Jiang Han, pondering for a moment before pulling out a jade pendant from her pocket and placing it in front of him. "This is a deposit for the next batch of supplies."
Jiang Han took the pendant, surprised. "This top-quality Fat Sheep Water Jade is worth a fortune! This person is quite generous!"
"That's fine. Here’s the receipt; please keep it safe." Jiang Han retrieved a receipt from a nearby drawer, filled it out, and handed it to Su Qianxue.
Seeing this, Su Qianxue nodded.
As she walked out of the Jiang Family Shop, she couldn't help but glance back a couple of times. It was incredible that such a small Jiang Family Shop could produce so many supplies! It seemed she had struck gold this time!
However, there was still one matter that needed to be addressed. Su Qianxue's eyes turned cold. "Someone! Go to the Lin family and teach them a lesson! Some people are not ones they can afford to offend!"
