Chapter 229 He's definitely a woman

Five black-armored puppet soldiers landed silently on the stone platform.

After all, they were lifeless puppets, and by the time the Tartars on the stone platform discovered them, it was already too late!

The five puppet soldiers, each wielding a high-grade spiritual weapon, were able to decapitate the twenty-man sentry squad almost instantly, leaving them lying on the platform!

Chen Yang retrieved the puppet and continued flying towards the second stone platform.

In just one hour, Chen Yang had quietly cleared away the watchtowers on the tall stone platforms all around!

Chen Yang piloted the Black Iron Griffin back to Steel City from high above.

Not far away, Zhou Qing could be seen riding a warhorse, patrolling and giving instructions to his 10,000-strong formation.

The 15,000-strong formation below, though harboring some resentment—the sudden training late at night was utterly inexplicable—all respected Zhou Qing and obediently followed military orders.

Chen Yang descended from the sky on his black iron griffin and landed beside Zhou Qing, nodding slightly in acknowledgment.

Zhou Qing's spirits lifted; she hadn't expected Chen Yang to complete the task so quickly. She quickly said, "Okay! Leave the rest to me!"

He immediately summoned his trusted confidants, changed the direction of the army, and began a rapid march.

Chen Yang did not participate in the subsequent actions. He stood on the back of the black iron griffin, soaring through the sky like a god of this region.

Looking at the magnificent landscape beneath his feet, Chen Yang's eyes held a hint of tenderness—this place could truly be considered his hometown.

Not long after, a deafening burst of flames suddenly erupted from below!

Chen Yang looked down and saw a huge shockwave explode in the abandoned quarry not far from the mountains, sweeping outwards!

When an army of 15,000 people unleashes the same spiritual energy attack at the same time, the terrifying power is absolutely something that a cultivator's physical body cannot withstand!

Soon, flames soared into the sky, the deafening roar shook the earth, and shattered corpses tumbled everywhere. Each strike had the power of a small nuclear bomb!

Chen Yang was also somewhat surprised—such terrifying attack power was something that even a Foundation Establishment cultivator, let alone himself, could not withstand!

Those three thousand elite Tartars were originally hiding underground to recuperate and prepare to sneak into the city the next day, but they never expected that a catastrophic disaster would suddenly befall them!

Before they could organize an effective resistance, most of them had been killed. The remaining few tried to escape, but found that Zhou Qing had already guessed their thoughts and had laid an ambush with a 5,000-strong army in front of them to block their way!

More than half an hour later, the battle was completely over—all three thousand elite Manchu soldiers were wiped out, while the Ming army only suffered a hundred or so wounded!

Seeing that the outcome was no longer in doubt, Chen Yang piloted the Black Iron Griffin and returned to Steel City first.

Two more hours passed.

The sound of horses' hooves and exhilarating cheers rang out outside the Steel City!

Clearly, Zhou Qing led her troops back to Steel City one after another.

Soon, the entire command post became lively, and everyone realized that Zhou Qing's sudden training was actually to eliminate the vanguard of the Great Manchu Kingdom!

Moreover, this time they won a great victory, wiping out all three thousand Tartars, and the entire Steel City was in an uproar!

For the Ming soldiers who had been defending the Iron City and struggling to hold on, this was undoubtedly good news – after all, they had lost Yangguan City and were now under siege by the Tartar army, and everyone was on tenterhooks.

This victory has greatly boosted morale!

Chen Yang and Ujina were chatting and laughing in the room when the door was suddenly pushed open with a bang. Zhou Qing walked in excitedly, her eyes bright, and said excitedly, "Chen Yang! That's great! None of them escaped! We only suffered injuries to a hundred or so people. This time, it's all thanks to you!"

Chen Yang quickly replied, "Your command was excellent!"

Zhou Qing quickly waved her hand: "Chen Yang, don't be modest! You've done a great job this time! It's too late today, we'll have a celebration banquet tomorrow, and you'll have to go on stage and say a few words!"

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I haven't prepared dinner for you yet. Please wait a moment, I'll make your beds and pour your bath water first. The cook will have dinner ready soon!"

As Zhou Qing spoke, she walked to the bedside to make the bed for Chen Yang, and then turned around to ask, "By the way, Chen Yang, are you and this beautiful lady sleeping in the same bed, or two separate beds?"

Chen Yang was startled to see Zhou Qing bending over to make his bed and even pouring his bathwater. He quickly went over and said, "No need, no need! I can do these things myself!"

Zhou Qing stood up and glared at him: "Why are you being so polite? You're the one who did the most work! You're not familiar with this place, so it's only right that I serve you! Hurry up and take off your clothes, I'll help you take a bath later."

Chen Yang was exasperated and quickly pushed him towards the door, pleading, "Really, it's not necessary! Please, just leave now, hurry up and get out!"

After saying that, he pushed Zhou Qing out the door without another word and slammed the door shut.

Zhou Qing stood outside the door, looking dejected, and said, "You're really hurting my feelings! What do you want to eat? I'll cook it for you myself!"

Chen Yang immediately called out, "No need! I brought food, thank you! Please don't bother us!"

Zhou Qing muttered to herself as she turned and left.

Ujina covered her mouth and laughed nonstop when she saw this.

Chen Yang sat sullenly at the table and said to her, "What are you laughing at! Go make the bed and prepare the bathwater!"

Ujina stood up and teased, "Oh dear, you refused General Zhou's offer to make your bed, but now you're ordering me around? What, is it because I'm prettier than him?"

"I actually think General Zhou looks better than me in women's clothing!"

Chen Yang glared at her: "Can you please stop saying such disgusting things? I'm already terrified of a grown man looking like that! And he even wants to pour my bathwater, I really..."

Ujina covered her mouth and laughed, then walked behind Chen Yang, leaning against his back and whispering in his ear, "Chen Yang, you'd better not regret this! I'm telling you, I guarantee General Zhou is 100% a woman!"

Chen Yang immediately shook his head: "He really isn't! I had the same suspicion when we met last time, but he even held my hand and let me touch his chest to prove he was a man! Think about it, would a normal woman do that?"

Upon hearing this, Ujina giggled even more, her body trembling, and said, "You really were fooled by him!"

"You don't know, in our Great Manchu Kingdom, there is a breast-protecting battle robe specially designed for female generals! That robe blends perfectly with the skin, almost indistinguishable, and perfectly covers a woman's breasts. From the outside, there is no difference, and even if you touch it, you can't feel anything unusual!"

"It's similar to the soft armor I'm wearing!"

As Ujina spoke, she walked up to Chen Yang, unbuttoned her skirt, revealing a soft armor made of simulated leather underneath: "I hid the Khan's token inside this soft armor to ensure my safety!"

Chen Yang smiled and reached out to tear off Ujina's soft armor.

Ujina blushed and quickly stopped him, "Wait! General Zhou might be coming back soon! Besides, he's already been so proactive, why are you always teasing me? It would be much better to go see him!"

Chen Yang immediately shook his head: "Shut up! What if he's a man?"

Ujina laughed even harder.

At this moment, in a sealed room behind the command post.

The room was sparsely furnished, but in the middle of the room was a large, clear, deep pool.

Zhou Qing unbuttoned her clothes, muttering irritably, "That bastard Chen Yang, he's such a straight man! I wonder if my sister will be satisfied when I introduce him to her later?"

"Anyway, I can't find a more suitable man to fulfill my sister's dying wish!"

As Zhou Qing spoke, she took off her clothes, walked to the pool in the secret room, and with a "whoosh," jumped into the pool and swam away from below.
