Chapter 645: Victory

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After Xiao Juan left, Tang Guixi pretended to retreat and hid in the forest near Heng City with her troops.

That night, a small team quietly left Heng City.

They rushed in the direction of Xingning City.

However, before they could run far, they were caught by the Eastern Expedition Army, who had been lying in an ambush by the roadside.

Tang Guixi ordered someone to interrogate them.

After a few rounds of torture, the Chen Nation soldiers cried and confessed everything.

It turned out that there was not much food stored in Heng City. After being surrounded by the Eastern Expedition Army for a month, the food in the city had been exhausted. The Chen Army was extremely hungry. They even had designs on the commoners in the city and began to kill and cook them.

In this way, it aroused intense anger among the citizen. The city kept erupting with riots where the commoners resisted with their lives.

Coincidentally, at this moment, the Chen Army heard the location of the Eastern Expedition’s military camp, so they sent troops to launch a surprise attack, wanting to use this opportunity to disrupt the morale of the Eastern Expedition Army.

Unexpectedly, the raid failed, and the Chen Army could only change their plans at the last minute.

They deliberately revealed the plan to raid the camp and forced the Eastern Expedition Army to retreat. Then, they sent someone to Xingning City to ask for help.

When they heard that they actually dared to eat human flesh, Tang Guixi and the soldiers present were so angry that their faces darkened.

Ignoring the pleading of the Chen Nation soldiers, Tang Guixi waved her hand and dragged them down to kill.

Tang Guixi ordered someone to put on the clothes of the dead Chen soldiers.

They disguised themselves as Chen soldiers and rushed out of Heng City in the dark night. They blew the horn hanging at their waists.

When the Chen Nation soldiers guarding the city wall heard the horn, they knew that their companions who had been sent out to ask for help had returned. They immediately lowered the city gates and opened them.

Not far away, the scout hiding in the dark saw the city gate open and immediately rushed back as quickly as possible to tell Tang Guixi this news.

Tang Guixi immediately ordered an attack!

After those “Chen Nation Soldiers” entered the city gate, someone from inside immediately came forward to ask for help.

Without a word, they pulled out the scimitars at their waists.

The sharp blade refracted a cold glint in the night. It cut the enemy’s throat.

Warm blood splattered.

At the same time, the shocked and furious shouts of the Chen soldiers sounded.

On the city wall, a general of the Chen Nation saw the figures rolling over not far away and hurriedly roared down.

“The enemy is attacking. Close the city gate!”

The smoke signals were ignited, and horns sounded.

The originally silent Heng City exploded like hot oil poured into cold water.

The Chen Nation soldiers tugged the chain hard, wanting to quickly pull the city gates up.

Tang Guixi rode her horse and rushed to the front of the team.

She threw the spear hard.

The red-tasseled spear shot out like an arrow and stabbed into the chain hanging from the city wall.

The chain was stuck, and the axle could no longer turn.

The city gate could not be pulled up and was stuck in midair.

The few Eastern Expedition soldiers disguised as Chen soldiers seized the opportunity to take out the gunpowder bag hidden in their arms. After lighting the fuse, they threw it at the mechanism that opened the city gate.

There was a loud bang.

The mechanism was blown up, and the city gate fell heavily, landing above the moat.

The Eastern Expedition Army rushed forward in one go, and the hooves of their horses stepped on the city gate to successfully cross the river.

The General of the Chen Nation on the city wall shouted to shoot and arrows rained down.

They did their best to stop the Eastern Expedition Army from entering the city.

The two sides engaged in a fierce battle.

The battle lasted a day and a night.

In the end, it ended with a complete victory for the Eastern Expedition Army.

The citizens in the city were saved. The separated families hugged each other and cried tears of joy.

The Chen Nation soldiers who were still alive were captured. They were hung in the open space in front of the county office. Every day, commoners came and threw stones at them.

The Chen Nation’s flag on the city wall was cut down.

By the time Xiao Juan and Yu Niaoniao rushed to Heng City with everyone, new flags had already been erected on the city wall.

A large red flag with the symbol of fire had the word Tang written on it.

It was Tang Guixi’s Tang!

When Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan saw the flag, they knew that Tang Guixi was really planning to set up her own stronghold.

Knowing that Xiao Juan and Yu Niaoniao were coming today, Tang Guixi had been waiting near the city gate early.

As soon as she saw Yu Niaoniao arrive, she immediately jumped off the horse and strode forward, planning to give her a big bear hug.

However, she was stopped by Xiao Juan.

“You haven’t washed the blood off your body. Don’t scare Niaoniao and the child in her womb.

Tang Guixi was stunned at first, then her eyes widened and she cried out, “Niaoniao, are you pregnant?”

Yu Niaoniao held her lower abdomen and smiled happily.

“That’s right. I’m more than a month pregnant.”

Tang Guixi danced with joy and jumped on the spot a few times. She did not look like a great general who had just won a battle at all, but more like a three-year-old child.

“Hahaha, I’m going to be a godmother!”

Yu Niaoniao deliberately teased her. “Did I agree to let you be the child’s godmother?”

Tang Guixi was shocked.

She held her heart and took two steps back, as if her heart had been seriously injured. She questioned pitifully.

“Niaoniao, have you forgotten our many years of sisterhood?”

“Have you forgotten how I sent you the storybook when you were punished to kneel in the ancestral hall?”

“Have you forgotten that I was the one who stayed with you when you were locked in a cell?”

“Have you forgotten that I was the one who accompanied you when you crawled through the dog hole in the middle of the night to escape from your marriage…”

Yu Niaoniao covered her mouth. “Alright, alright, stop talking.”

If Tang Guixi continued, her dark history would be exposed.

Tang Guixi pulled her hand down and asked persistently, “Then do you still want me to be your child’s godmother?”

Yu Niaoniao accepted her fate and nodded in agreement. (f)reewe(b)novel

Tang Guixi immediately beamed with joy.

She wanted to touch Niaoniao’s belly, but she retracted her hand when she remembered that she had just killed someone and was still murderous.

She raised her head and puffed out her chest, pointing ahead.

“Let’s go. I’ll show you the city I took down!”

Yu Niaoniao smiled. “Okay.”

Many places in Heng City had been damaged in the battle. The Eastern Expedition Army was organizing the commoners to repair Heng City.

Next, they were going to use Heng City as a stronghold, which meant that they were going to live here for a long time.

Although this place looked dilapidated, everyone was full of energy, making people involuntarily look forward to the future.

After visiting Heng City, Tang Guixi got someone to send Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan to their temporary residence to rest. She still had something to do.

Yu Niaoniao looked around as she walked. Suddenly, she heard the man beside her ask coldly.

“What did Tang Guixi say about escaping the marriage just now?” Yu Niaoniao stopped in her tracks.

She turned to look at Xiao Juan and met his deep and dark eyes.

Just now, she thought that Xiao Juan did not hear her. She did not expect him to have heard everything. He had just been holding it in and only asked now.

Yu Niaoniao smiled awkvvardly.

“Haha, it’s not what it looks like. Let me explain..”
