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

Chapter 157 Your Highness, this humble general has a bit of an upset stomach.

Chen Nan shook his head and said, "Chen Sheng, gather the bodies together, dig a pit, and burn them."

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for killing 100233 enemies.]

[System rewards are now being distributed.]

[Rewards have been distributed; the host can collect them at any time.]

Chen Nan's heart stirred, and he saw the previous rewards in the system.

But right now, his mind isn't on the reward.

Looking back, the once bustling city walls of Wei capital are now deserted.

Chen Nan said in a low voice, "Let's go back to the city first!"

Surrounded by the crowd, Chen Nan walked in the center, stepped onto the simply constructed pontoon bridge, and returned to the capital of Wei.

The moment he entered, countless women surrounded him, vying to speak.

"Your Highness, my old man hasn't let us down, has he?"

"Your Highness, has my little rascal fought bravely against the enemy?"

"Your Highness, Your Highness..."

Every sound represents a life, and Chen Nan knew that since these people dared to go out, they were prepared not to return.

He just felt it was a pity, because many of them, after training, could have become soldiers in Weidu.

But now...

Suddenly, Chen Nan clenched his hands together, and his breathing became increasingly labored.

He roared inwardly, "System, summon Zhao Yun, Night Jade Lion, White Horse Cavalry, and Mo Dao Soldiers to the outskirts of Wei capital!"

"Summon the Light Armor, regular armor, and provisions to the Wei capital's granary!"

[Ding! Congratulations, host, summoning successful!]

Soon, Chen Sheng rushed in from outside the city and knelt down in front of Chen Nan: "Master, there is a man outside who claims to be Zhao Yun and is leading more than 10,000 troops. He says he is one of your men."

Chen Nan waved his hand and said in a low voice, "Let them in!"

Chen Sheng was taken aback and looked at Hongming with a puzzled expression.

The latter shook her head; she didn't know what was going on either.

Chen Sheng knew that his master was angry, and very angry at that.

Before long, a white horse galloped in through the city gate, carrying a young general in white robes and a longbow on his back.

The man approached Chen Nan, tightened his grip on the reins, jumped down, and knelt, saying, "Zhao Zilong of Changshan greets my lord!"

A rare smile appeared on Chen Nan's face: "Zilong, get up quickly!"

After Zhao Yun got up, Chen Nan handed him the spear and asked, "Zilong, what do you think of this spear?"

Upon seeing the gun, Zhao Yun felt as if he were seeing his wife, his gaze involuntarily drawn to the weapon.

The spear was all white, and together with his white horse and white armor, they were a perfect match.

His Adam's apple bobbed a few times, and he reluctantly looked away: "My lord, I have only just arrived and have not yet accomplished anything. Why do you ask for such a reward?"

Chen Nan chuckled to himself. What reward? This gleaming silver spear was someone else's weapon in itself.

Seeing that Zhao Yun was unwilling to accept it, he forcefully shoved the spear into Zhao Yun's hand: "I said, what's yours is yours, and you can earn merit later!"

Zhao Yun, beaming with joy, knelt down once more and said, "This humble general thanks you for your reward, my lord!"

Hearing this, Hongming and the others were taken aback. A reward?

It seems that only that one person in the entire Northern Wei Dynasty was qualified to receive such a reward.

But Chen Nan was standing in front of him, and Hongming was in a dilemma.

Chen Nan spoke again: "Where is Zhao Yun?"

"Zhao Yun is here, please give your orders, my lord!"

"Order Zhao Yun to lead his troops, carrying my token, to inspect Su City. If Hongze has not defected, proceed directly into the territory of Daqian."

"I do not wish for the Great Qian to have any intention of starting another war."

Zhao Yun nodded: "I understand!"

He knew that the only way to prevent the enemy from having any intention of starting another war was to inflict heavy losses on them and frighten them.

"Mo Bai will draw you a map later. Once you have the provisions, you can march!"

After speaking, Chen Nan hesitated for a moment before asking, "Gao Shun, if I asked you to lead an army of ten thousand to Qingping Pass, would you be willing to go?"

Gao Shun was taken aback. He didn't understand how he was involved in this, especially since he was best at commanding small units in combat.

To say that 10,000 people would be somewhat of a stretch.

Before Gao Shun could answer, Chen Nan called out again, "Chen Sheng, stop pretending, kid. If you want to fight, what are you waiting for if you don't ask for permission?"

Chen Sheng grinned: "Master, your disciple requests to fight!"

"Order Chen Sheng to lead his troops to Qingping Pass. If nothing happens at Qingping Pass, then proceed directly into the heart of Western Shu!"

Chen Sheng excitedly accepted the order: "Master, rest assured, your disciple will definitely make sure that the Western Shu dare not show their faces!"

After making the arrangements, everyone returned to the government office.

Mo Bai drew two maps and gave them to Zhao Yun and Chen Sheng respectively.

Without further ado, the two set off immediately upon receiving the map.

After the two left the government office, Gao Shun glanced at the surroundings.

They found Chen Nan sitting in the main seat, with Hongming standing to his side.

Mo Bai and Wu Xu sat on either side.

As for the man in black, he hadn't paid any attention to him.

Finally, his gaze fell on Hongming's face, looking at his somewhat melancholy eyes, and he coughed lightly: "My lord, it's a bit hot in the hall, I'll wait outside!"

Having said that, he didn't give Chen Nan a chance to refuse and walked straight out of the room.

With nothing to do, Wu Xu glanced around and stared at Gao Shun's back, muttering, "Is this guy stupid? It's snowing outside, and there's at least a stove in the hall. How could it be cold?"

He had made up his mind that no matter what anyone said, he wouldn't go out today.

Mo Bai, standing to the side, smiled mysteriously and said, "Your Highness, I'd like to go outside and cool off too."

With that, he strode towards the outside of the government office.

If one person does this, it might be an accident, but if two people do the same thing, it's definitely not an accident.

As Mo Bai left, he gave Wu Xu a meaningful look.

Feeling the other person's gaze, Wu Xu couldn't help but glance at the main seat.

Only then did he realize that, good heavens, there were only the three of them in the entire hall.

He cursed inwardly: That damn Mo Bai, he ran off without even calling me.

He quickly said, "Your Highness, my stomach is a little uncomfortable. Please have Mo Bai take a look at it."

With that, he fled the government office as if his life depended on it.

"Wu Xu, you brat, don't..."

Chen Nan wanted to ask him to stay, but he was too late.

Only Hongming and Chen Nan remained in the vast government office.

After a long silence, Hongming spoke first: "Where did those two people come from? I've never heard you mention them before?"

Chen Nan smiled wryly. He knew he would face this problem, which was why he wanted to keep Wu Xu around.

Meanwhile, outside the government office, Gao Shun waited silently at the entrance.

Mo Bai and Wu Xu huddled together furtively.

Mo Bai spoke first: "What do you think the Prince and General Hong will discuss?"

Wu Xu chuckled: "How should I know? The prince just told me to stay, but I pretended not to hear and ran out."
