Chapter 152 I heard it was you who wanted to kill my master?
"Heh, so the advantage is yours?"
Chen Nan was all too familiar with this phrase. Someone had once said the same thing, but the ending was quite different.
While the two were talking, Qin Yue did not notice that a black light was rushing towards him from behind.
Chen Nan could see clearly that the newcomer was dressed in black armor and rode a tall, blood-red horse.
This horse was a gift from the late emperor; it was originally the late emperor's mount.
During the final battle, the late emperor bestowed it upon Chen Nan, imploring him to take good care of Wu Fengluan and to safeguard the Great Qian dynasty.
Unfortunately, not long after that, everything had changed.
"Mr. Chen, please show mercy."
At Chen Nan's command, the dark figure, though displeased, raised his long sword slightly, just barely grazing the back of Qin Yue's head.
It was only then that Qin Yue sensed the threat coming from behind her. She quickly bent down and pulled the adjutant beside her over.
"Master, why spare his life?" Chen Sheng asked, puzzled.
Chen Nan smiled contemptuously: "He's nothing but Wu Fengluan's henchman. If we kill him, there will be others."
"Alright," Chen Sheng said respectfully, then turned and glared at Qin Yue. "I'll spare your life today for my master's sake, now get the hell out of here!"
Qin Yue barely managed to maintain her composure and retreated step by step.
Unfortunately, before he could take a few steps back, another voice came from behind: "Gao Shun is here! You bastard, die!"
Because of Chen Sheng's stab, Qin Yue's attention was now extremely focused.
Upon hearing the voice behind him, he couldn't even be on guard against Chen Nan and Chen Sheng's sneak attack.
He turned around immediately, drew his sword from his waist, and faced Gao Shun's sneak attack.
He couldn't help but shout, "Despicable scoundrel! No wonder you're Chen Nan's subordinate, resorting to such petty tricks!"
"A subject should die for his lord's honor." Gao Shun, already furious, blushed even more upon hearing Qin Yue dare to slander Chen Nan to his face.
"Stop talking nonsense and come and die!"
Qin Yue's fear of Chen Sheng was entirely due to Chen Nan's influence; he knew that Chen Sheng had been cultivated by Chen Nan.
But Gao Shun, whom he had never met before, was standing in front of him, so he naturally didn't feel any fear.
He immediately drew his sword, facing the approaching figure head-on, intending to have a good, decisive battle with the newcomer.
But the next second, Gao Shun descended from the sky wielding a large sword.
Qin Yue was startled and quickly raised her sword and placed it horizontally above her head to face the attack.
In the blink of an eye, the two weapons collided, emitting violent sparks.
Gao Shun was already furious, and his attack was extremely ruthless; this stab was aimed at Qin Yue's life.
Humans are inherently afraid of the unknown, and Qin Yue held nothing back.
To his surprise, the moment they made contact, he felt a tremendous force coming from his sword.
This force is like a ferocious beast, making it irresistible.
With a single breath, Qin Yue's knees buckled, and she knelt on the ground, her arms trembling violently.
Chen Nan knew that although Gao Shun was not that powerful, he was not someone Qin Yue could easily provoke.
He hurriedly said, "Gao Shun, please show mercy and don't take his life!"
Although he did not understand his lord's thoughts, Gao Shun was known for his loyalty and righteousness, and he strictly carried out his lord's orders.
He loosened his grip and sheathed the broadsword.
Seeing this, Qin Yue, who was kneeling on the ground, finally had a chance to catch her breath.
He stood up, turned around, and looked at Chen Nan with suspicion: "So this is the strength of the Prince of Zhenbei?"
"If the Prince of Zhenbei in the Great Qian Dynasty had such strength and influence, His Majesty would probably have abdicated long ago, wouldn't he?"
Although Qin Yue didn't say it explicitly, her words implied something about Chen Nan.
"What? Do you have a problem with my master?"
Chen Sheng was already very respectful to Chen Nan, but now, upon hearing Qin Yue's implied meaning, he stared wide-eyed and walked forward.
Although Gao Shun was unaware of the grudges between the group, he could tell that Chen Sheng was on his side.
Seeing that he was putting pressure on others, he couldn't fall behind, so he also stepped forward.
The moment Gao Shun lifted his foot, hundreds of people behind him shouted: "We are determined to fight to the death!"
Although Qin Yue's strength was not great, he could hear the killing intent and death will contained in the voices of the hundreds of people behind him.
His heart skipped a beat. He had worked with Chen Nan for so long and had never seen such an army under his command.
He knew Chen Nan's capabilities; Chen Nan alone could not possibly have trained such an army.
"Hmph, don't be so smug. Once I return to the capital, I will make you pay the price!"
Qin Yue realized that Chen Nan didn't dare to kill him at all.
That's why he kept making sarcastic remarks.
Chen Nan didn't take Qin Yue's words seriously at all.
He knew the internal workings of the Great Qian Dynasty, and he feared that it would soon be thrown into chaos due to internal strife.
Furthermore, Qin Yue brought the Imperial Guard with him this time, which means that Daqian does not have enough troops to deal with Northern Wei in the short term.
He hadn't forgotten the system's mission: to kill 100,000 people to complete it.
He sneered, "Qin Yue, aren't you overestimating yourself a bit?"
"Yes, I do not intend to kill you for the time being."
"Do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you?"
"Besides, do you really think you can survive if you go back to Daqian?"
"What do you mean?" Qin Yue frowned and looked at Chen Nan in confusion.
He is now one of the few generals in the Great Qian Dynasty. If someone else had said these words, he would definitely have dismissed them with disdain.
But hearing these words from Chen Nan's mouth, he couldn't help but think twice.
"I only said I wouldn't kill you, do you think these 100,000 troops will return to Daqian with you?"
A cruel smile appeared on Chen Nan's lips.
What did he hear?
Chen Nan actually intends to kill all 100,000 people.
He exclaimed in surprise, "Chen Nan, I was just about to lead my troops to surrender. Do you really dare to defy the world and kill those who surrender?"
"Kill those who surrender? Are you trying to scare me?" Chen Nan's smile became even more cruel.
"If I can't kill my master, then I can kill these 100,000 people myself."
Chen Sheng stepped forward and said, "After I finish killing them, I will immediately commit suicide. Let's see how many people in the world dare to speak ill of my master."
Qin Yue swallowed hard. He hadn't expected that Chen Nan's hatred for Daqian had reached such a level.
Similarly, he knew that if Chen Nan could say it, he would definitely do it.
If he cannot bring these Imperial Guards back to Daqian, his own fate will likely not be good either.
Suddenly, Qin Yue felt a chill run down her spine and involuntarily shivered.
A voice devoid of any emotion followed: "I heard that you were the one who wanted to kill my lord?"
"Who...who?"
Qin Yue slowly turned her head.
Behind them stood a person dressed in a black robe, with a black mask on their face.
"You...don't...move..."
Qin Yue stammered, her hips loosened, and a pool of liquid dripped from her armor onto the snow.
