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

The great state had four imperial dynasties, each ruling its own territory.

Then came four famous generals who became renowned throughout the world.

These four individuals are Hongming, Hanzhang, Yuchang, and Qingyu, each corresponding to a different weapon based on their fighting style: a golden knife, a sharp dagger, a razor-sharp sword, and a hidden arrow!

The newcomer wore a light blue bamboo-leaf-patterned shirt, had long eyebrows that reached his temples, and was exceptionally handsome.

It was a hidden arrow, a subtle and deadly move, from a renowned general!

It was Chen Nan who ended Qingyu's twelve-game winning streak on the battlefield back then!

Chen Nan and Qing Yu were like sworn enemies on the battlefield.

But it's hard to imagine that Qingyu had never met Chen Nan in private.

But Chen Nan has his own intelligence system.

I saw Qingyu in the portrait.

Thus, one of them was in the open, and the other was in the shadows.

Qingyu brought his troops here simply on orders. He didn't ask who the captured people were, assuming they were spies from another country.

He wasn't told by his superiors.

Since it was the emperor's decree, he naturally had no choice but to obey.

However, the person he had captured after making such a grand trip from Kyoto was just a poorly dressed man, probably not someone of any great importance!

Qingyu couldn't help but feel a little impatient.

Hongming was valued by the royal family, while he had been out of favor since the decisive battle three years ago.

Chen Nan shattered his path to fame and became a nightmare in his heart!

He dreams of fighting the Great Qian again!

Unfortunately, more and more people in the court are supporting Hongming, and even the imperial family is leaning more towards her!

Now, Hongming is able to command troops in the field, while he can only capture a small fry in a remote border town, which naturally makes him feel unbalanced.

"Arrest this man and take him back to Kyoto!" Tamu, one of Qingyu's men, shouted sternly.

Chen Nan handed over his hands and obediently allowed himself to be handcuffed.

"You're quite sensible," Tamu sneered. "It saves me the trouble of teaching you manners on the way!"

"No need to trouble yourself," Chen Nan said with a smile.

He wasn't surprised.

His movements would inevitably be monitored by the other three great dynasties.

In fact, they had been followed all the way from the capital of the Great Qian Dynasty.

However, Chen Nan resolved them all one by one.

In any case, the system had already planned the route for him, so he headed straight for Northern Wei.

This trip was bound to alarm the capital of Northern Wei, but he never expected that it would be Qingyu who came!

"Where are you from?" Qingyu asked.

"The Great Qian Dynasty," Chen Nan said without any hesitation.

"Da Qian?" Upon hearing this name, Qingyu's expression changed, and she asked with a hint of hostility, "Whom do you work for? Do you know anything about Chen Nan, the Prince of Zhenbei?"

More than ten days have passed since the Emperor of Daqian dismissed Chen Nan.

However, apart from a few people within the Great Qian Dynasty, the outside world does not know the full details of what exactly happened.

Even more unknown is whether Chen Nan lives or dies after being dismissed!

After all, Chen Nan was so powerful and accomplished that he overshadowed the emperor, and he and the emperor had a long-standing feud. The emperor hated him as if he were the enemy who would wipe out his entire family.

How could they tolerate him leaving the palace alive?

This has been the way things have always been!

The emperor only publicly announced the dismissal to protect his reputation.

Whether or not he was executed is known only to the Emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty!

That's why Qingyu asked that question!

After all, he still has a three-year-long battle to fight against Chen Nan!

He wanted to defeat Chen Nan himself and take his head!

Three years ago on the battlefield, Qingyu used a surprise attack and a barrage of arrows to demonstrate the ultimate application of tactical maneuvering, leaving the four great dynasties without an opponent!

He rose to fame on the battlefield with a twelve-game winning streak, shocking the world!

However, it was abruptly ended by Chen Nan, who appeared out of nowhere!

They actually figured out firepower tactics that directly countered the opponent!

What utter hatred!

Qingyu hated him so much she wanted to grind her teeth!

Although they only played one game, Qingyu was completely defeated. He spent two whole years reviewing that game!

For two years, day and night, Qingyu dreamed of fighting Chen Nan again and showing him her new tactics!

Unexpectedly, before his wish could be fulfilled, Chen Nan was betrayed by his own people!

When Qingyu found out, she cursed him countless times.

If his opponent is killed first by that incompetent empress of the Great Qian Dynasty, he can only gather his strength and wait for the day when he can flatten the Great Qian Imperial Palace and take the head of the Great Qian Emperor in order to satisfy his obsession!

"The Prince of Zhenbei is dead," Chen Nan said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Qingyu's expression changed, her expression showing a complex mix of regret and satisfaction, but ultimately a sense of impending doom.

"Peace was established by the general, but the general is not allowed to see peace!"

In a single sentence, the general's fate was fully revealed.

Others might not understand this phrase from the Great Qian Dynasty, but Chen Nan truly understood and felt it deeply!

Unexpectedly, after the Prince of Zhenbei disappeared, the one who could utter a sigh of sorrow for him was not the Emperor of Daqian, whom he had painstakingly helped to ascend the throne, nor his subordinates, but his former nemesis!

Chen Nan chuckled self-deprecatingly.

This is probably destiny!

"So, sir, don't become a general in this life!" Chen Nan said meaningfully.

……

Daqian.

royal palace.

"Your Majesty, torrential rains in the south have caused the Yellow River to breach its banks, resulting in widespread flooding that has inundated twelve cities!"

"Countless people became disaster victims in an instant, and 30,000 people starved to death overnight. It was a truly tragic sight!"

In the imperial court, Wu Fengluan looked solemn.

The Grand Tutor bowed, tears streaming down his face, and pleaded, "Your Majesty, please issue an order immediately; disaster relief is of utmost importance!"

“Floods have happened before, and they’ve always been resolved.” Wu Fengluan waved her hand impatiently and said, “Just allocate the funds from the national treasury immediately.”

"Does this kind of thing really need my intervention?"

"Do the same thing as before!"

The group exchanged bewildered glances. In previous years, Chen Nan had handled this matter single-handedly, doing it beautifully and reassuringly. Now that Chen Nan was gone, naturally no one wanted to take on this task.

If not the emperor, who should we ask?

At this moment, the Minister of Revenue stepped forward from the crowd, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, a month ago, the magistrate... oh no, this sinful subject Chen Nan had already calculated the floods in the south, and the disaster relief funds totaling two million taels of silver have been prepared."

Wu Fengluan immediately said, "Then hurry up and allocate the funds!"

The Minister of Revenue glanced at Jiang Hai beside the dragon throne, a look of hesitation on his face.
