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

Sitting in the chair, Chen Yu looked more like the Prefect of Weidu than Chen Nan, who was standing.

However, he completely failed to notice the mockery on Chen Nan and the others' faces.

At his call, two constables entered from outside the door.

The two constables had just entered when they approached Chen Nan with respectful expressions.

Chen Nan smiled slightly and pointed to Chen Yu, who was sitting down: "It wasn't me who called you, it was him!"

Before the two constables could react, Chen Yu shouted again, "What are you two looking at him for?"

"Why haven't you summoned your acting prefect yet?"

"When the Prefect arrives, I'm going to have a good talk with him about the security problems in Weidu."

The two constables were dumbfounded. Wasn't their prefect, Chen Nan, right in front of them?

Then why would this person seek out their prefect? ​​And why would they complain about the security problems in Weidu?

The two of them simply didn't understand, but they were definitely not stupid.

The person who was sitting just now was brought in by Chen Nan.

Moreover, Chen Nan had only been the Prefect of Weidu for a short time.

Perhaps this person hasn't yet emerged from the illusions of the previous prefect.

That was the only thought the two of them could have.

The two men gave an awkward laugh and whispered, "Your Highness, we've seen this man before."

"He has a good personal relationship with the former registrar, so he's become a bit arrogant. If Your Highness can't stand it, I'll immediately send someone to throw him out."

In an instant, Chen Yu was dumbfounded.

What did he hear?

Those two yamen runners actually called Prince Chen Nan?

In his memory, there were no living princes in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Apart from the fact that the Empress Dowager of Northern Wei recently conferred the title of Prince of Zhennan, who is also the only living prince of Northern Wei at present.

Moreover, that prince is said to have come from the Great Qian Dynasty. He is not only powerful in martial arts but also very capable. Most importantly, he is very young.

Now, two yamen runners are calling a prince to his face.

To remain calm and collected even when surrounded by dozens of people from the Happy Forest, one must possess considerable martial prowess.

Moreover, he is so young, and he was made a prince at such a young age, so his abilities must be quite good.

After comparing the two, Chen Yu finally realized the reality. He then understood that the person standing in front of him was none other than the only prince of Northern Wei.

In fact, he had the chance to recognize it a long time ago, but he was unwilling to give up the Happy Forest he had run all his life.

Chen Yu hurriedly got up from his chair, bent his knees, and knelt down in front of Chen Nan, tears welling up in his eyes.

"I hope Your Highness will forgive me. It was my poor eyesight that prevented me from recognizing Your Highness."

"Since Your Highness likes that dress, I'll take the liberty of gifting it to you. My Happy Forest will not accept a single penny!"

Perhaps it was because Chen Yu was used to being arrogant, but even now, he was still thinking about protecting his Happy Forest.

Chen Nan shook his head with a wicked smile: "Don't even think about it. Although I, Chen Nan, am bold, I would never stole anything from the national treasury."

"Moreover, your Happy Forest no longer exists."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yu seemed to lose his mind, leaning against Chen Nan's legs, his lips trembling incessantly.

He also knew that with so many people working together, a small Happy Forest could be easily and completely wiped out.

He brought it up solely to confirm whether Chen Nanzhi's words were meant to scare him or if he would actually do it.

Chen Nan kicked out, sending Chen Yu flying out of the hall.

Then Chen Nan's extremely cold voice rang out: "Take this person into the prison, and I will question him personally."

As soon as he finished speaking, a notification sound rang in Chen Nan's mind.

[Ding! Mission complete. The reward for the baptism of 10,000 troops has been credited to your account. Please check your account promptly!]

As the system's voice faded, a small cloud of red light appeared in Chen Nan's mind.

Even though it only existed in his mind, he could already feel the power contained within the mist.

The moment Chen Nan saw the fog, he was overjoyed. He had a feeling that the army, after being trained by the system, could even reach the strength of all first-grade martial artists.

This means that in future wars with other countries, this army of 10,000 would be comparable to an army of 50,000.

He already had arrangements made for the baptism of these 10,000 people.

A few days later, after the entire court passed the reforms, he planned to use the equipment awarded by the system to arm a portion of the Northern Wei soldiers.

These trials, of course, were to be superimposed on those soldiers.

Currently, he has no intention of using the reward.

Inside the prison, Chen Nan was followed by Wu Xu and Hong Ming.

In front of the three men was Chen Yu, who was tied to a pillar.

"I know nothing, just kill me!"

Chen Yu said expressionlessly.

At this point, he stopped struggling.

He seemed to see his future reflected in the image.

He knew that the appearance of that golden nanmu robe in his Happy Forest meant there was only one outcome for him.

However, he misjudged one thing: once he arrived at this place, his life or death was not entirely in his own hands.

Chen Nan waved his hand, and two jailers with fanatical expressions stepped forward.

"Do you remember the interrogation methods I used last time?"

The two men were taken aback at first, then quickly nodded: "Your Highness, rest assured, we will find someone to practice with every day."

"I must say, the prince's methods are truly ingenious, making it impossible for someone to live while also preventing them from dying."

Chen Nan rolled his eyes; this was the first time he had heard such praise.

They were all his subordinates, so he didn't bother to argue with them.

Moreover, the most urgent task is to find out why Chen Yu obtained the golden nanmu robe.

Chen Nan pointed to the front of him: "Since you still remember, then I will test you today."

"In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, I will know everything I want to know."

Upon hearing this, the two jailers immediately became excited.

"Your Highness, please just watch from the sidelines. I will do my utmost!"

After saying that, the two began to divide the tasks.

When the two returned, one was carrying two buckets of water and the other was holding two towels.

Seeing this, Chen Yu completely panicked.

Although he had never witnessed such punishment before, the cruel smiles on the faces of the two jailers still terrified him.

Without pausing, the two jailers soaked their towels and covered Chen Yu's face.

To prevent him from suffocating, one of them punched him in the stomach first.

Then you can see that the handkerchief on Chen Yu's face has a dent.

At the same time, another prison guard held a bucket and began pouring water down Chen Yu's face.

In an instant, water flowed down his cheeks, past his handkerchief, and into his clothes.

He wanted to cough, but as soon as he opened his mouth, countless drops of water would flow into his oral cavity.

Soon, the jailer who was pouring water paused for a moment.

Another jailer asked, "Are you going to talk or not?"

Before Chen Yu could speak, the jailer who was pouring water began to pour it.

After repeating this process several times, the bucket of water was emptied.

But Chen Yu still didn't say a single word.

The two jailers asked in bewilderment, "Is this man really that stubborn?"

Last time, when Chen Nan tortured the registrar, the man confessed very quickly.

This time it was their turn to try, but the other party remained silent for a long time.

The two jailers felt they had lost face in front of Chen Nan.

When it came to the second bucket of water, the jailer couldn't help but speed up the pouring.

By the time the second bucket of water was empty, Chen Yu was completely soaked.

"Can you tell me?"

"We still have plenty of water here."

The jailer asked again.

Chen Yu breathed heavily, his helpless voice coming through the air: "You keep telling me to talk, why don't you just ask!"
