"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."
