"Mmm... the food in your manor is so delicious..."
She swallowed her food and said:
"I'd like to discuss a business deal with you."
Lu Yan raised an eyebrow and asked with interest:
"Oh? What kind of business?"
"Recently, His Majesty has been attacking Jingzhou, but has been struggling due to a lack of siege equipment, and has made no progress."
Chen Qingwan explained.
"I know that the cannons of Shannan Prefecture are unparalleled in the world. Could you sell me some?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yan said firmly:
"This is not for sale."
Undeterred, Chen Qingwan pressed on, asking:
"Can't we even raise the price?"
"Price? Ha!"
His tone was full of disdain.
"I don't care about that little bit of money! The firearms of Shannan Prefecture are for protecting our homes and country."
"This isn't for you to fight amongst yourselves!"
"However... I can sell you some trinkets made from leftover scraps to play with."
"But you know the price; products from Shannan Prefecture are guaranteed to be top-quality!"
Chen Qingwan agreed with this, referring to the batch of muskets she had brought with her earlier.
They were invincible on the battlefield, truly overwhelming all other armies.
"All right,"
Chen Qingwan sighed with slight disappointment.
"What can you sell me?"
Lu Yan smiled mysteriously:
"Well, you'll find out when the time comes."

"My lord, this humble general is willing to serve you!"
The crowd responded in unison.
Lu Yan nodded in satisfaction and then began to deploy the battle plan.
