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

On the dark street, Chen Nan and his two companions walked along, each lost in their own thoughts.

Suddenly, the sound of heavy armor filled my ears.

Chen Nan squinted and asked, "Did you two hear that?"

The two were taken aback, and Mo Bai took the initiative to speak: "Did Your Highness hear something?"

Wu Xu shook his head: "I didn't hear anything."

Immediately afterwards, a glimmer of light appeared in the distance.

And there was the sound of heavy armor rubbing together.

The two stared wide-eyed at Chen Nan in disbelief.

They knew nothing at all, but their own prince found out everything before they did.

So what use are the two of them to Chen Nan?

A sudden sense of panic washed over Mo Bai. He then realized that the only people who could be on the street at this time were the patrol team.

It should be noted that going out during the curfew hours in the Northern Wei Dynasty was a serious crime.

In extreme cases, patrol teams can even kill curfew members on the spot.

That's why he advised Chen Nan to wait until dawn.

"Who's over there?"

The childish voice reached the ears of the three.

Chen Nan knew that the three of them had been seen.

"Don't move, or don't blame me for not holding back my arrows!"

The newcomer shouted again.

Chen Nan wanted to laugh, but he had no intention of moving at all.

Moreover, he could sense that there were only ten people on the other side, but they spoke with great arrogance.

I just don't know their actual strength.

The two sides then met.

Mo Bai frowned and whispered a reminder: "Your Highness, this person is named Qin Guang, and he is a member of the main branch of the Qin family."

Upon hearing Mo Bai speak, Qin Guang angrily cursed, "Didn't you hear me tell you not to move?"

"Damn it, openly strolling around during curfew, what does he think Weidu is, his backyard?"

"Give me your names and addresses, hurry up, or I'll lose my patience."

Mo Bai glanced at Chen Nan, who nodded slightly and stepped forward: "I am Mo Bai, from the Zhennan Prince's Mansion."

"You? The Prince of Zhennan's Mansion?" Qin Guang stared at Mo Bai suspiciously. "What is your relationship with Prince Chen Nan of Zhennan?"

Mo Bai replied, "I am a servant of the prince."

He thought that by mentioning the name of the Prince of Zhennan, the matter could be easily resolved.

Even if the other party is a member of the Qin family, they will still be somewhat wary of the title of Prince Zhennan.

But he was wrong, and very wrong.

Qin Guang roared in fury, "Damn it, are you trying to use the Prince of Zhennan to intimidate me?"

"Even if you're his follower, and even if the Prince of Zhennan himself were here, I wouldn't tolerate his behavior."

"In the Northern Wei Dynasty, during curfew hours, I am the law!"

He had received orders from the head of the family; the Qin family and the Zhennan Prince's Mansion were sworn enemies.

Now, if he sees people from the Zhennan Prince's Mansion during curfew, he naturally won't show them any displeasure.

Mo Bai sighed, glanced at Qin Guang with pity, and then retreated behind Chen Nan.

Since he couldn't solve the problem, Wu Xu had no choice but to step in and resolve it.

If Wu Zixu still can't solve the problem, then we'll have to resort to Chen Nan.

Mo Bai returned to his original position, and Chen Nan knew that this matter could not be resolved peacefully.

Since we're all going to the Qin residence anyway, what difference does it make who leads the way? He said coldly, "Leave them alive!"

After saying this, Wu Xu rushed out in one stride.

He drew the sword from his waist and moved back and forth among the squad.

Within a few breaths, the nine members of the team were lying on the ground, rubbing certain parts of their bodies.

Only Qin Guang was left dumbfounded.

He kept backing away, trembling as he drew his sword, still shaken: "You, you... I am a member of the Qin family. Even if you are from the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, you cannot go out during curfew."

Chen Nan completely ignored his words and directly ordered, "Take him to the Qin residence."

The group of four slowly departed.

Only Mo Bai turned his head and looked sadly at the fallen squad of soldiers.

He finally understood why Chen Nan had gone to the Qin residence during curfew.

At first, he thought Chen Nan had come to inquire about something.

It's only now that I realize Chen Nan wasn't there to ask questions at all, but rather to seek out trouble.

Soon after, the three of them stood at the entrance of the Qin residence.

Chen Nan said softly, "How come this Qin residence is even more luxurious than my Zhennan Prince's residence?"

"It's time to renovate the Prince's Mansion."

As Chen Nan made up his mind, he also prepared an excuse.

"Let him go and knock on the door."

Chen Nan waved his hand, and Wu Xu threw Qin Guang to the ground.

Because there was no support, Qin Guang made intimate contact with the ground.

He finally managed to get up, and was about to start cursing when a cold, large knife was placed against his neck, followed by that honest voice: "Knock on the door or die."

The words that were already on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back by Qin Guang.

Frustrated, he walked to his door and pounded on it.

"Open the door! Open the door now, you bastard!!!"

Three sounds in a row.

The gate of the Qin residence opened a crack, and an old face peeked out.

He yawned and shouted angrily, "Who's the blind fool? Coming to knock on the Qin residence's door at this hour? Don't they want to live?"

Qin Guang, who had already suffered injustice at Wu Xu's hands, saw that even his own servants dared to point at him and curse him. He immediately cursed out all the grievances he had suffered earlier.

"Go to hell! Open your dog eyes and see clearly."

"I am Qin Guang, the third young master of the Qin family. And you are that old codger?"

"You, you, you are the Third Young Master?" The people inside the mansion finally rubbed their eyes and looked Qin Guang up and down as if to confirm.

After confirming his identity, he was wide awake, filled only with lingering fear.

"Young Master, I... I was just half asleep. Please spare my life!"

This man knew that his third young master, Qin Guang, was a complete thug.

Not only is he foul-mouthed, but he is also moody and prone to violence.

Often, the person who is beaten will suffer at least a broken bone and end up covered in bruises.

In severe cases, the game will be restarted immediately.

"I don't have time to deal with you right now. Call my dad out!"

Qin Guang looked utterly dejected. All he wanted to do right now was see the person in charge of the Qin family.

"Third Young Master, you know perfectly well that the Master hates being disturbed when he's resting."

The servant looked helpless; he really didn't dare go in to call for help.

Qin Guang was furious and about to lash out when a voice came from behind him: "Go straight in!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Guang smiled obsequiously, turned around and nodded to Chen Nan: "Alright, I'll go in right away."

The servants of the Qin household were speechless at this sight.

This was the first time he had ever seen his third young master so docile.

Qin Guang is the third son of the Qin family and the third grandson of Qin Qingmin.

Normally, Qin Qingmin dotes on Qin Guang.

This led to Qin Guang not even taking Qin Qingmin seriously.

But what did he see?

He actually saw Qin Guang trying to please someone else?

Moreover, the people being flattered don't necessarily look older than Qin Guangda.

In an instant, the worldview of the servants in the Qin household collapsed.

By the time he realized what was happening, the four of them had already entered the Qin residence, and he eagerly followed them.

He ran while shouting, "Third Young Master, slow down! I'll clear the way for you!"

He wanted to make amends to avoid Qin Guang settling scores later.

But he didn't know that Qin Guang was now like a wild beast, biting anyone he could get his hands on.

His good intentions were met with angry curses: "Damn it, do I need you to show me the way in my own home?"

"Get as far away as you can, you old geezer!"
