Transmigrated as A Farm Girl Making Her Family Rich

Ye Shiqi felt the gaze from another ship and also noticed Ye Haohuan, she didn't want to encounter him and ordered the captain to keep the ship moving forward, regardless of the situation behind them.

"Who is there?"

Accompanied by two people, Ye Haohuan suddenly arrived on the other ship's deck.

The captain was on the alert, guarding against the possibility that the other party still had people causing trouble underwater.

"I am here to look for Ye Shiqi," Ye Haohuan said elegantly as he stood on the deck. His white clothes fluttered in the wind, displaying a graceful demeanor.

The captain and helmsman had never seen Ye Haohuan before, nor had Housekeeper Ye told them about any Princely Heir who had connections with them.

Especially when they were away from home and had just experienced danger, someone suddenly leaped over from another ship.

The other ship had been sailing alongside them, which they had noticed at that time.

The captain saw no hostility from the other party; they were just transporting cargo on the dock at the same time.

Back then, the little master had said not to worry about who the other people were.

The captain had never heard the name Ye Shiqi, neither had the crew.

The little master was dressed as a man, and it was apparent to the men.

With the surname Ye and a girl's name, there was only one little master on the ship.

They were the Ye Family Army, all with the surname Ye.

These people were branches of the Ye family, recruited from all over the country.

Ever since they joined the Ye Family Army, from the older generation to the younger one, and then to those assigned missions like them—other than a few in posts, they were retired military men.

It was only after the General was sent outside the border that they organized routes from all around the country to transport resources and food.

They were also in place to repel invaders in case one day the border was breached; their task then would be to kill the intruders.

"Our little master said, nobody should disturb her," said the captain.

The captain, feeling no malice from the young man's gaze, still had to be cautious about his identity.

Besides, it was night, and it was their duty to protect the master on a mission; how could they possibly meet a lady in the darkness of Weinan?

"Go and report it! I am acquainted with your master," Ye Haohuan said.

Ye Haohuan felt that if he didn't find out tonight how Ye Shiqi had ordered her subordinates to destroy the other party, he would not only be unable to sleep but would also feel restless.

The captain paused for a moment, then replied, "Wait here, please. If our master refuses to see you, you will have to go back."

"Mm"

The captain went inside to knock on the door and ask Ye Shiqi.

Ye Shiqi could vaguely hear the conversation outside, but she still did not want to meet Ye Haohuan in the dark of night.

Even if a meeting was inevitable later, now was not the right time; let the other party speculate, but do not say too much.

Of course, she couldn't divulge her trump card to others.

"Ask him to leave. When the time comes, and I need to see him, I'll summon him," she instructed.

"Yes," the captain thought the little master was very correct, after all, it was night, and not meeting an outsider was a matter of etiquette.

The other party's lack of manners, perhaps due to the event that had just happened, was causing them to seek knowledge.

They too were puzzled, having seen no move from the little master, so how did the explosion occur?

In fact, the captain and the crew had guessed that they hadn't seen any enemy, yet their little master sensitively knew the enemy was near and swiftly and accurately eliminated them.

The subordinates could not help but admire the prowess of such a young child; they felt quite ashamed.

"Honored sir, our family's little master has said that it is night and not appropriate to receive guests," said the captain.

If you are not willing to meet, Ye Haohuan... how can I possibly know what situation has occurred?

Unable to see that young woman, he could only question these subordinates of the Ye family.

The questions posed by Ye Haohuan were met with nothing more than the boss's responses and the blank stares of the boatmen.

"We don't know either! It just suddenly happened like that, we want to know what's going on too?"

Ye Haohuan...???

The boss and his men weren't playing dumb in front of others, they knew about the previous explosion and had witnessed it themselves.

But this time was different, they too were kept in the dark by their master.

They had their suspicions that it was definitely their master's doing, but they couldn't tell outsiders.

The master had said that this was to be their secret weapon in the future, something that not only should foreigners be kept unaware of, but also their compatriots.

If others were to know and managed to do the same to them, would they still be standing here as safely as they are now?

And how would they protect and defend the nation?

At this moment, Ye Shiqi began to feel a bit sleepy and thought it was time to retreat to her space for a while.

After several days of continuous tension, vigilant day and night, she had now pulled off a big job and could use some rest in her space.

Just as Ye Shiqi thought, she did, entering her space and soaking in a thermal spring, adding some flowers for a luxuriously relaxing bath.

After the bath, she went to the bed in the space to enjoy a good sleep.

Denied a meeting and met with the vague stares and muddled replies of the others, Ye Haohuan was somewhat incredulous and, unable to stay there indefinitely, returned to his own ship with his two guards by flight.

Back on his own boat, he wanted to know if those people were alright, if they would follow him again, and though he managed to get some sleep, he no longer entertained the thought of going back inside to rest.

Under the pale starlight, the earlier site of the explosion still glowed in the distance, and with the passage of time, their ship had already travelled far away.

Ye Haohuan had a table brought out and wine poured for him, where he sat leisurely eating peanuts and drinking wine, keeping a close eye on the situation behind the ship all the while.

His subordinates reported to him that during the underwater explosion, some people were sent flying into the air.

Ye Haohuan...??

He and his men had already guessed that the enemy was definitely underwater, ready to breach their two vessels.

Ye Haohuan's face warmed slightly, a surge of anger prompting a desire to strike out.

"Investigate for me, which team hired these assassins?"

"Yes," his subordinates replied, sending out signals to the sky.

...

Another explosion rocked the river and sea, drawing the attention of some people on the shore. Among them, a housekeeper, personally observing from a carriage, and another in a carriage similar to his, both fixed their somber gazes on the river and sea. Their hearts skipped a beat.

A bad premonition hit both of them simultaneously.

"Go and see what's happening?"

This time, they had come out to observe firsthand, not willing to wait until daybreak as before, to have someone dredge the area.

This time, the assassin leader had dispatched his men, almost the entire nest was mobilized, even risking their principal.

One could imagine that if his side once again faced unlucky losses, this assassin leader might end up a commander without troops.

Besides the people at sea, there were only a few reserves left.

Now sending out his men to rescue, the assassin leader found himself nearly devoid of subordinates by his side.

The loss of his strong forces on the water was like losing an entire brigade, and for him, it was as if he had lost an arm.
