Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life

Chapter 1187 - 1176: Wealthy Merchant

"How dare you, a lowly commoner, show such disrespect to this General! If I kill you today, Your Highness will not blame me." The General, flushed with anger, slashed at Ye Qiu with a swift blade.

Seeing him genuinely furious, even wanting to kill in broad daylight, the bystanders who were watching with a sense of curiosity scattered instantly. Ye Qiu retreated just in time, narrowly avoiding the attack, while the guards reacted quickly to shield him.

Ye Qiu’s face was icy: "General, are you intentionally trying to make me an enemy of Prince Donghe’s Highness? If I die, Prince Donghe’s Highness should not expect any further assistance from the Ye Family."

"Hmph, making bold claims even when facing death!" The General scoffed disdainfully, "Once I kill you, anyone who dares defy me will be slaughtered too. I refuse to believe there’s anyone unafraid of death."

"Oh? Is the General so confident?" Ye Qiu’s ears twitched, "If you wish to annihilate the Ye Family, I doubt Prince Linsan will agree."

"Prince Linsan is nothing! Don’t think I don’t know he’s sent people here, but even if he himself came today, I’d make sure he never returns."

"Such arrogance from Prince Donghe’s men!" A roar echoed as if it exploded in their ears, although the person was still a good ten meters away, revealing the depth of his aura.

"Prince Linsan truly dares send someone to our Donghe territory!" The previous General’s face darkened, "Perfect timing, I’ll execute you today and earn praise from Prince Donghe’s Highness."

"Execute me? Let’s see if you have the ability. It fits our purpose today, shall we settle the victory in a battle?" The man from Prince Linsan, as tall and rugged as a bear, said as his forces gradually caught up.

The face of the Donghe Prince’s General changed, then whispered to his companion. Once that person left, he spoke to the other party, "General Zhao seems to have forgotten this is Prince Donghe’s governed territory. I have absolute certainty of victory, why should I compete with you?"

"Is General Liao afraid? Still wanting to call for reinforcements? I wonder if my sword is quicker or General Liao’s men!" The eyes of the man from Prince Linsan widened fiercely, his voice just dropped and he attacked.

"Hmph, Prince Linsan is nothing more than a brat, only daring to play such sneak attacks." On Donghe’s side, General Liao was so furious, he confronted them with the blade that had just targeted Ye Qiu.

As both sides started to fight, Ye Qiu withdrew to a side and whispered to the steward, meanwhile inside, Lady Li and Ye Lu were pacing back and forth, nervously twisting handkerchiefs.

"Lady, good news! Prince Linsan’s people have arrived, they’ve blocked Donghe’s men outside." The little maid ran in to report.

"You say Prince Linsan’s people have arrived?" Ye Lu said with sparkling eyes.

The little maid was still panting, stammeringly replied, "Yes, yes, they are already fighting Donghe’s men outside."

"Great!" Ye Lu clapped her hands, she almost saw herself being welcomed back by Prince Linsan’s men, she was eager to see the male protagonist’s face.

"But what if they can’t win?" Lady Li frowned worriedly, "If Donghe’s people win, then we..."

"Mother, you must have faith in Prince Linsan." Ye Lu said with unyielding certainty, "Prince Linsan will not lose."

Ye Lu had crossed into the world of the book, she alone knew how formidable Prince Linsan truly was, his actions were all to mislead people, since Donghe Prince would lose miserably in the future, so would he now.

How prosperous the Ye Family is! Only after these days’ indoctrination by her mother did she know that the family’s business spanned the nation, in almost every sector, she knew Prince Linsan would surely be impressed, thus sending his capable Generals, unlike the brutish and arrogant Prince Donghe.

Once the Ye Family relied on Prince Linsan, she would become a concubine, with her beauty, intelligence, and foreknowledge, she was confident she would become Empress in the future.

Queen of the World! Had she achieved the dream of so many traversers?

Outside the battle grew fiercer, the dispatched Liao Heishan was showing defeat, realizing those he sent did not return, guessing they would never.

"Prince Linsan’s men are formidable, when did they buy off the City Lord of Jing’an City?" Liao Heishan gritted his teeth.

General Zhao, sent by Prince Linsan, was also filled with doubts, knowing they hadn’t bribed the City Lord of Jing’an City, but since this city was Donghe Prince’s territory, why was there no aid sent?

Earlier, he was afraid the enemy would get reinforcements, hence striking first, but regardless of circumstances now, the Ye Family was assuredly theirs, Donghe’s men were contemptible.

"General Liao, why not press for retreat? You and your soldiers are no match for us." Zhao Xiong’s Heavy Sword slashed down heavily, seeming more like a blade than Liao Heishan’s sword, forcing Liao Heishan back.

But remembering Donghe Prince’s orders and his vowed life-or-death duty, where could he retreat?

"Family Head Ye, won’t you command your guards to assist us? Aren’t you afraid Donghe Prince will blame you?" He shouted at Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu cupped his hands: "Apologies, General, I, Ye Qiu, am just a merchant, unwilling to partake in the conflict between two princes."

"General Liao, today you are destined to lose, Family Head Ye is wise, how could he choose you? I suggest you surrender! If you kneel before me, I will plead Prince Linsan to bestow you the position of Vanguard Officer."

Liao Heishan’s fury turned his face from black to red, "You arrogant scoundrel, I shall take your head even if I die fighting here today!"

"Indeed, like master, like dog, I see Prince Donghe is no better."

"Ah!" Liao Heishan roared like a madman, both sides seemed like they were fighting to the death.

Inside the house, Ye Cheng added a large amount of medicinal ingredients to the burning flame, listening to the outside chaos, he admired his brother immensely, thinking indeed elder brother was resourceful, even kindling the fire to ensure the fight.

Only now did he realize how formidable the physicians the family rear were, using a few simple medicinal ingredients to provoke people’s latent aggression, hurriedly drinking a bowl of decoction himself, instructing subordinates to do the same, ensuring they’re unaffected.

"Zhao Thief, prepare to die!" Liao Heishan, eyes blood red and ignoring the threatening Heavy Sword, dealt Zhao Xiong a fierce strike.

"What’s the situation like outside? Have Prince Linsan’s men won?" Ye Lu was anxious to go and see for herself but feared getting hurt, so kept asking.

"They’ve won, Prince Linsan’s people have won!"

"Are you sure?" Ye Lu clutched the reporting little maid, scared to breathe.

"It’s true, the General Liao sent by Donghe Prince has already been slain by General Zhao sent by Prince Linsan."

"That’s wonderful, truly wonderful." Ye Lu clasped her hands, "I knew Heaven favored me, in this world, I am the main character!"
