Chapter 230 Opening the City Gates

Inside Chen Yang and Ujina's room.

After they both took a shower, Chen Yang lay down on the bed.

Chen Yang watched as Ujina walked around wearing only a long robe, which was actually his own. Chen Yang felt that Ujina was becoming somewhat twisted.

Why does this woman always wear her own coat? And she only wears her own coat!

Doesn't this woman understand how tempting this is?

It turns out that watching a woman with long legs walk is also a kind of beauty.

After combing her hair, Ujina turned to look at Chen Yang, her face slightly flushed.

She moved closer to Chen Yang and whispered, "Chen Yang, can I ask you for a favor?"

Chen Yang asked curiously, "What is it?"

Ujina giggled, her face flushed with a mixture of shyness and longing, and said with a hint of curiosity, "In my Great Manchu Kingdom, I always enjoyed listening to the various novels, historical dramas, and operas from your Great Ming Kingdom. They described the kissing between men and women as a very magical feeling. I really want to know what it's like. So, can I kiss you?"

Upon hearing this request, Chen Yang was speechless for a moment. He immediately shook his head and said, "No way! Kissing is something only innocent couples do. As an experienced driver, I don't like it!"

Ujina climbed up to Chen Yang and asked curiously, "What does 'old driver' mean?"

Chen Yang thought for a moment and said, "It's a man who's been through many battles and has long since lost interest in childish things like kissing."

Ujina pouted in frustration, then shook Chen Yang's arm and said, "Chen Yang, just let me experience it!"

Chen Yang smiled and said, "It's fine if you experience it, but after it's over, you have to kiss me in another place."

Ujina was so excited that she didn't ask where it was before she hugged Chen Yang.

Twenty minutes later.

Teacher Chen Yang pushed Ujina away.

Ujina's face flushed crimson, her beautiful eyes seemingly brimming with tears. She lightly wiped her lips and said to Chen Yang, "It seems the opera was right; kissing really is captivating!"

Chen Yang couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He then said, "Now it's time for you to fulfill your responsibilities."

Ujina then remembered her promise to Chen Yang. She nodded and said, "Okay! But let's kiss again tomorrow night!"

Chen Yang reluctantly agreed.

however.

One minute later.

Suddenly, Ujina's screams echoed from the room!

This time, Ujina jumped up and ran to the table. Trembling, she pointed at Chen Yang and cried, "Chen Yang, you big bad guy! I don't agree! I absolutely don't agree! It's too scary! Waaah, it's really scary!"

Ujina huddled by the table, determined to break the contract.

Chen Yang was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

After arguing and talking for a while, Chen Yang finally had to accept Ujina's breach of contract, and the two of them rested together.

Early the next morning.

A commotion arose outside, followed by the aroma of alcohol wafting over.

Chen Yang and Ujina also washed up and got up early.

Even now, Ujina still feels lingering fear, and she still glared at Chen Yang with a flushed face.

Chen Yang hadn't expected that he had actually scared Ujina.

Outside, people had already begun setting up a banquet, while inside the command post, three tables were set up for high-ranking generals from Steel City.

Outside the command center, on the main street not far away, tables and chairs for a banquet were set up from south to north.

There were chefs nearby who had already started cooking over a fire.

Today is a day of celebration for the whole city, to commemorate yesterday's victory over the Tartars!

It should be noted that the three thousand Tartars who died were the elite of the elite. This battle will surely severely weaken the Great Manchu Kingdom!

The residents who remained in the city and the soldiers who defended it all cheered and celebrated!

In the command post, Zhou Qing and thirty-two senior generals sat around a table.

Zhou Qing stood up and said, "Colleagues, today I would like to introduce my friend, Chen Yang! Yesterday's victory was all thanks to Chen Yang! He provided the information and, more importantly, he eliminated the Manchu spies, which allowed us to completely annihilate them!"

At this moment, Zhao Hu, who was below, also stood up and said excitedly, "That's right! If it weren't for Chen Yang's appearance, we would all have been hunted down and killed by those experts from the Great Manchu Kingdom! Benefactor Chen is truly amazing, let's all pay tribute to Chen Yang!"

The surrounding generals all raised their wine bowls and looked at Chen Yang.

Chen Yang didn't refuse; he nodded and said, "Everyone has worked hard!"

He then tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.

Everyone was enjoying their drinks.

Just then, the sound of rapid hoofbeats came from outside, followed by more than a hundred people quickly entering the command post.

The leader, a man around forty years old, was very strong, with a full beard and an imposing presence; he walked at the very front.

Upon seeing the middle-aged man, the people in the command post immediately stood up respectfully and greeted him, "Greetings, Marshal Wu!"

This middle-aged man was none other than Wu Gui, the supreme commander of the entire border army!

Wu Gui entered the venue with his guards.

Zhou Qing was overjoyed to see Wu Gui and immediately stepped forward, bowing slightly as she said, "Marshal Wu, what brings you here? Did you also hear the news of our great victory and come to celebrate?"

Wu Gui remained calm and ignored Zhou Qing. He walked directly to the front, glanced at everyone, and then said, "Everyone, I have to tell you some bad news!"

The generals present were all leaders of the Steel City. They immediately put down their wine bowls and looked at Wu Gui.

Wu Gui spoke up, "I just received news that our Iron Wall Formation has been destroyed, and the Great Manchu's Iron Cavalry has amassed 100,000 troops and is marching towards our Iron City!"

Zhou Qing was startled upon hearing this. He quickly went over and said, "Marshal Wu, is this news true? Everyone, it seems the victory celebration banquet will have to be canceled. We must return to our posts as soon as possible and formulate a response strategy!"

Wu Gui waved his hand and said, "No need, it's too late! Don't waste any more effort! Without the Great Wall of Steel Formation, how could we possibly withstand the 100,000-strong army of the Great Manchu Kingdom with just this small steel city?"

"Actually, I think you all know very well that without the Great Wall of Steel Formation, our Ming Dynasty would be no match for the Manchu Kingdom in this battle! The Manchu cavalry was already powerful, and now they have the help of the alien demons. Caught off guard, we were unable to resist!"

"Furthermore, the current emperor of our Great Ming Dynasty, the Zhu family, is not worthy to be the masters of the Great Ming Dynasty! Think about it, we shed blood and sacrifice ourselves here, but it doesn't affect the Zhu family members from being high and mighty, eating, drinking, having fun, accumulating wealth, and cultivating themselves. Don't you think that's right?"

"We've endured countless hardships to cultivate and grow stronger, not to shed blood and sacrifice ourselves so that unrelated people can enjoy the spoils! Not to let those parasites ruin our country! In fact, we should elect a better emperor, not these cowards!"

"Therefore, I have decided that this time we will give up resistance, open the city gates, and welcome the iron cavalry of the Great Manchu Kingdom! I have already reached an agreement with the cultivators of the Great Manchu Kingdom. As long as we do not resist, the residents of our Steel City will not shed blood, and they will not burn, kill, or loot, nor will they commit any acts of aggression against the people and cultivators of our Great Ming Kingdom!"

"They will only head straight for the capital to deal with the Zhu family and the nobles there! After they have plundered and slaughtered the Zhu family and those first- and second-tier families in the capital, they will return! The Ming Dynasty should belong to us, to the ordinary people, not to those greedy nobles who exploit the people!"
