The empress disliked my achievements for overshadowing her own, so she turned her attention to the N

Seeing this, the crowd had no idea where Chen Nan was going to collect food. They looked at each other and could only follow closely behind him as they walked out of the government office.

Chen Nan walked outside, where the army was already prepared, and they all looked at Chen Nan excitedly.

They had never forgotten the great battle Chen Nan led them in against Lecheng and Sucheng.

Looking at the soldiers in front of him, fully equipped and ready to go, Chen Nan smiled confidently and asked loudly, "Brothers, are you ready?"

"Your Highness, we are ready at any time!" the soldiers replied in unison.

"Very well, then please join me in saving Northern Wei. I promise once again that after this crisis in Northern Wei is over, you soldiers will not be like before!"

With Chen Nan's promise, the already high-spirited soldiers became even more determined.

Seeing this, Qingyu felt a bitter taste in his mouth. He finally understood the gap between himself and Chen Nan.

When he first arrived at the military camp, the soldiers only obeyed his orders because they held Chen Nan's military orders in their hands.

Now, when Chen Nan stood before the crowd, the soldiers were filled with heartfelt admiration and willingly obeyed his orders.

Looking at himself, he had served as a general in the Northern Wei for nearly ten years, but he was still far from achieving such prestige in the army.

Chen Nan waved his hand, followed by Qingyu and Mobai, their figures dashing and heroic. Behind them stood three thousand neatly arranged soldiers, orderly and full of fighting spirit.

Qingyu quickly caught up with Chen Nan and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, where exactly are we going to find food?"

Chen Nan sneered: "Don't worry, you'll find out when we get there."

Led by Chen Nan, thousands of people marched forward in a grand procession.

At first, Qingyu didn't notice anything, but after walking for a while, she realized that they had been heading towards the East District.

Suddenly, an idea popped into my head: the Eastern District is home to all the major families of Wei Capital.

He couldn't help but glance at Chen Nan, only to see that he still had that confident smile on his face.

He couldn't help but sigh. He knew that, given Chen Nan's personality, the East District tycoons were destined for an event that wouldn't be ordinary tonight.

To put it dramatically, after tonight, the capital of Wei will no longer have any of the powerful clans it once was.

However, he was just a minor general, a general who had been re-promoted by Chen Nan, and he had absolutely no say in the matter.

About half an hour later, the sky grew darker and darker, and a cold wind blew by from time to time.

Finally, Chen Nan was the first to stop, and everyone behind him stopped at the same time.

He looked up at the moonlight and laughed, "A dark and windy night, perfect for murder and arson!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyu and Mobai both looked at Chen Nan, sensing the murderous intent hidden in his words.

Chen Nan then spoke up: "Since you are unwilling to lend a helping hand when the imperial court is in trouble, then let me, the king, help you out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Nan closed his eyes and raised his right hand in mid-air.

A moment later, when he opened his eyes, he calmly looked at the luxuriously decorated gate in front of him, with two large, gilded characters on the plaque: "Liu Mansion"!

Chen Nan sneered in a low voice, "Liu family, let's start with your family tonight. That way, it won't be too unfair to you."

As the cold laugh stopped, his right hand suddenly swung down. Mo Bai understood; he knew this was the signal for action.

However, this was Qingyu's first time following Chen Nan, and he didn't understand what the gesture meant.

As Mo Bai strode out, he remained standing there, staring blankly ahead.

When Mo Bai had already reached the gate of the Liu residence, Qingyu realized that the gesture just now was Chen Nan's instruction for them to take action.

Qingyu quickly followed Mo Bai's footsteps. Mo Bai also knew that he couldn't do this alone, so he waited for Qingyu to arrive.

He glanced at him and said, "How about General Qingyu knocks on the first door?"

Qingyu didn't understand what the other party meant for a moment, and nodded blankly: "In that case, please step back, General Mo Bai."

Mo Bai smiled, took a few steps back, and gave Qingyu enough room to maneuver.

Qingyu took a deep breath, clenched her right fist, and slammed it hard against the gate of the Liu residence.

Strangely enough, as if the people inside the mansion had been prepared, after Qingyu punched the door, a very powerful voice came from behind the door: "Who is it? Daring to cause trouble at the Liu mansion in the middle of the night? Don't you want to live?"

Qingyu was taken aback. Although he was not successful in the court, he had not fallen into the position of being insulted at will by a subordinate kept by a family.

A surge of anger rose in Qingyu's chest, followed by a second and a third punch.

After pounding the door five or six times, the voice from inside the door was tinged with anger: "Knock, knock, knock, what the hell are you knocking for?"

"Don't you know this is our master's rest time? I don't care who you are, get the hell out of here right now, or don't blame me for coming out and twisting your heads off!"

At this moment, Qingyu seemed to understand Chen Nan's thoughts.

Chen Nan had already notified the entire city during the day that no pedestrians were allowed on the streets after sunset.

For someone to appear on the street at this hour and dare to knock on the door of their powerful clan so openly, the person must be an official.

But they didn't take the government seriously at all, and were scolded several times for no reason without even meeting them.

Even an ordinary civil official would inevitably harbor some resentment, let alone Qingyu, a general who had fought on many battlefields and campaigned in the north and south.

Hearing the curses coming from inside, Qingyu stopped knocking and started kicking the door, shouting, "I'm Qingyu! Open the door right now, or don't blame me for bringing my men to break it down!"

After he finished speaking, the mansion fell noticeably quiet.

Just when Qingyu thought the other party would open the door, an even more unpleasant sound came from inside the mansion.

"Damn it, you think you're Qingyu just because you say so? I'd rather say I'm Chen Nan!"

"Don't you know that the imperial court has already issued a notice that no pedestrians are allowed on the streets after sunset? How dare you come and knock on the door of my Liu residence?"

"Do you think the Liu family is easy to bully, and that you really dare not hand them over to the imperial court?"

For a moment, Qingyu was dumbfounded. He never expected that the other party would use their own announcement to refute them.

He knocked on the door for a long time, but the other person still wouldn't open it.

Qingyu was already furious and had no intention of knocking on the door. She stood angrily in front of the Liu residence.

He was considering whether or not to lead his troops and just storm in.

In the end, these powerful families will be dealt with anyway, so how one gets in is completely unimportant.

However, he was also afraid that Chen Nan would think he was too reckless and thus reject the suggestion.

Just as he was hesitating, Mo Bai's gentle voice sounded from behind: "What's wrong? General Qingyu, have you suffered a setback?"
