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 consider a strategic retreat? Your soldiers and you are clearly outmatched by our forces." Zhao Xiong’s imposing Heavy Sword descended, its force far exceeding Liao Heishan’s sword, driving him backward.

Yet, with the Donghe Prince’s explicit commands echoing in his mind and the solemn vow of life-or-death duty he had sworn, where could he possibly retreat?

"Family Head Ye, will you not order your guards to lend us aid? Are you not concerned about repercussions from Prince Donghe?" he bellowed towards Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu clasped his hands together in a gesture of respect, replying, "My apologies, General. I, Ye Qiu, am merely a humble merchant, and I wish to remain uninvolved in the conflict brewing between the two princes."

"General Liao, your defeat today is a foregone conclusion. Family Head Ye demonstrates great wisdom; how could he possibly align himself with you? I strongly suggest you surrender! If you would kneel before me, I shall intercede with Prince Linsan to grant you the esteemed position of Vanguard Officer."

Liao Heishan's fury ignited, transforming his face from a darkened hue to a fiery red. "You insolent wretch! Even if I perish in this very spot, I shall claim your head!"

"Indeed, like master, like dog. It would seem Prince Donghe is no different."

"Ahhh!" Liao Heishan let out a furious roar, his demeanor turning that of a cornered beast. Both sides engaged as if prepared for a fight to the bitter end.

Inside the residence, Ye Cheng meticulously added a generous amount of potent medicinal ingredients to the roaring flame. As he listened to the cacophony of the battle raging outside, he couldn't help but marvel at his elder brother's ingenuity, admiring how he had even orchestrated the conflict itself.

It was only then that the true formidable nature of the physicians cultivated by their family became apparent. With but a few common medicinal ingredients, they could skillfully arouse the latent aggression within individuals. He quickly downed a bowl of the prepared decoction himself and instructed his subordinates to do likewise, ensuring they would remain unaffected by the external chaos.

"Zhao Thief, prepare yourself for death!" Liao Heishan, his eyes burning red and disregarding the menacing Heavy Sword before him, unleashed a furious assault upon Zhao Xiong.

"What is the situation at the front lines? Have Prince Linsan's forces achieved victory?" Ye Lu, consumed by anxiety, yearned to witness the events herself but feared personal harm, thus she repeatedly inquired.

"They have emerged victorious! Prince Linsan's warriors have secured the win!"

"Are you absolutely certain?" Ye Lu grasped the small reporting maid, her breath catching in her throat with apprehension.

"It is true. General Liao, dispatched by Prince Donghe, has already met his end, slain by General Zhao, who serves Prince Linsan."

"This is magnificent, truly wonderful!" Ye Lu clasped her hands together in elation. "I knew Heaven favored me. In this grand world, I am undoubtedly its main character!"
