Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life-Chapter 1014 - 1003: The Ever-Victorious General

"Miss, is your body still able to endure this?" The maid worriedly asked as Ye Qiu, under the command of Great General Huang Jiang, charged forward with the troops, showing no consideration for Ye Qiu being a woman.

"No problem." Ye Qiu’s eyes were cold as she looked ahead. Did they really think they could intimidate her like this? How ridiculously overconfident!

"General, that Eldest Lady of the Ye Family is still enduring," a soldier reported to the fierce-looking Huang Jiang at the front of the army.

With a cruel smile, he replied, "Then let her keep enduring. Pass the word; the marching pace is too slow. How will we counter if the barbarians attack again at this speed?"

"But..." The reporter hesitated, stopping himself mid-sentence.

"But what?" Huang Jiang glared, "Speak quickly, don’t be like those timid women behind us."

"But General, the soldiers can hardly endure. If we increase the pace, I’m afraid there’ll be grievances among the ranks," the man whispered.

"Do they dare?" Huang Jiang shouted.

"The soldiers themselves may not dare, but isn’t this giving Ye Qiu a chance to laugh at us? When you try to command the Ye Family Army, won’t there be resistance?"

Huang Jiang’s face darkened as he listened, breathing heavily out of frustration, gritting his teeth: "Benefits that little woman, order the troops to halt and rest for one more hour."

"Yes, sir."

"Finally we get to rest. Miss, I’ll fetch some water, you take a break." The maid who had followed Ye Qiu from the Ye Family sighed in relief.

"Let Ye Quan go, both you and Ye He need not busy yourselves. Though you’ve both trained in martial arts, your stamina does not match that of men," Ye Qiu invited the two maids to sit down while the two guards from the Ye Family surrounded them, one went to fetch water following orders.

"Miss Ye has worked hard. I’ve never marched together with a woman before and neglected this earlier. Good thing I remembered just now, Miss Ye can rest a bit longer, we will depart once you’re ready," Huang Jiang wasn’t entirely foolish; since the secret decree was for him to take command of the Ye Family Army, it’s best to befriend the current leader of the Ye Family, showing kindness to this woman might win her favor!

Ye Qiu’s expression became tense and fearful upon hearing this: "Great General, you’re too polite, how can the marching pace be affected because of me, a woman? I’m fine, let’s set off immediately. If I delay important matters, I cannot bear that responsibility."

Saying this, she had the two maids pack the dry food again, mounted her horse ready to depart, giving Huang Jiang no time to react.

Is she really leaving? How can she say she’s leaving? Is she truly not tired?

Huang Jiang was completely stunned, not having anticipated the situation to turn this way. How straightforward is this woman?

"Aren’t you tired? If you collapse from fatigue, what then? Better rest!" He said with a stiff expression.

"It’s alright, how can I, alone, delay the entire army?" Ye Qiu smiled generously, "General, get on your horse quickly, if war is delayed, none of us can take responsibility."

"You..." Huang Jiang found himself speechless from her retort.

"Is the General joking with me? The army march is a serious matter; war could break out at the front anytime. Your Majesty trusts you deeply, how can you joke about such matters?" Ye Qiu suddenly put on a serious face and bowed to the sky, "My father always taught me, anything involving war and the lives of soldiers is not trivial. General, you are older and more experienced than me and should understand this principle better than I do."

Seeing her righteous demeanor, Huang Jiang was left speechless with anger; if he doesn’t continue marching, wouldn’t it show he is unfit for this heavy responsibility? However, ordering to march immediately would indicate he doesn’t consider his men, doesn’t that reveal to everyone he, the Great General, disregards the common soldiers?

Little witch, it’s hard to discern if what she said was intentional or truly straightforward!

"General, General? Get on your horse quickly, if delayed, none of us can bear that responsibility. If border officials and civilians file grievances to the throne, Your Majesty won’t spare us lightly," Ye Qiu urged.

Being told this by her, Huang Jiang truly panicked, knowing the methods Your Majesty employs; if he truly delayed the matters, his fate might not be much better than the Ye Family’s.

"Order to set off immediately, not a moment must be delayed," Ye Qiu’s timely provocation actually led Huang Jiang to issue the command, which made her smile.

Liang Teng, who had just returned from passing orders, displayed mixed feelings upon hearing his general give yet another command, feeling somewhat at a loss for words.

It’s said General Huang is brave and wise, but is his mind sound? To announce rest then immediately retract the order shows negligence of military command, how can he lead the army? How to take over the Ye Family Army?

Liang Teng turned his gaze to Ye Qiu, current head of the Ye Family, previously not considering her significant, merely a woman, practiced in martial arts but how can she compare to men?

Now it appears, her martial prowess remains unknown, but her mind is far superior to Huang Jiang’s.

What a pity! A pity not being a man!

Or not, were she truly a man, Your Majesty wouldn’t have sent her to the border.

Liang Teng shook his head, feeling his prospects were dim.

Or not, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes; if Huang Jiang is unreliable and the only potential Ye Family person is a woman; if Liang Teng plays his cards right, couldn’t he take the opportunity?

Though his martial arts aren’t as strong as General Huang’s, who said a Great General must be on the battlefield? Accurate command suffices.

Liang Teng, with a different view, transmitted Huang Jiang’s orders, already inciting dissatisfaction from preventing rest and calling their pace too slow. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Hence, unbeknownst to Huang Jiang, complaints spread through the troops.

"Miss, our previous calculations weren’t even needed, although Huang Jiang’s martial prowess is high, his mind doesn’t turn. He thinks himself smart yet can’t even understand his own men. Now complaints in the military are caused by that man Liang Teng," the maid quietly told Ye Qiu.

The other maid squinted slightly at the news: "Miss, should we guard against Liang Teng?"

"No need, he’s just a clown," Ye Qiu smiled carelessly, "Liang Teng is blinded by greed, thinking he has capability. While Huang Jiang’s mind isn’t sharp, Your Majesty has appointed him as a second-rank Great General after all, soldiers might complain but they won’t defy orders. Additionally, men admire martial prowess, if someday Huang Jiang displays his combat strength, followers will continue to follow."
