Chapter 1802

Three days later.

Gilded morning light washed over the Yanmen Pass. The heat rising from the city walls had not yet dissipated, but below the city, it was already bustling—this day was destined to be engraved in history with a heavy stroke.

Inside Yanmen Pass, people were moving about.

The common people lined both sides, looking forward, as if waiting for something.

Yanmen Commandery Governor Li Chengye personally greeted them outside, his face full of wild joy.

He was excited and glowing.

An unprecedented great victory was born before his eyes.

The King of Zhenyue led his clansmen to surrender, the entire Hexi land changed hands, and from now on, the Hexi land would be incorporated into the territory of Da Qian!

This achievement was unprecedented.

And all this was because of one person—the Champion Marquis of Da Qian, known as the number one poison strategist, Gao Yang!

Finally.

At the end of the line of sight.

Smoke and dust covered the sky on the horizon, and the black iron heavy armor connected into a silver long river under the golden sunlight.

Gao Yang wore silver armor and a red cloak, riding in the lead.

When Gao Yang appeared.

In an instant.

A cheer, like a raging tide, swept over.

"Minister Gao!"

"Minister Gao!"

The people inside Yanmen Pass were boiling.

They were close to the Hexi land and had suffered greatly from the persecution of the Xiongnu in Hexi.

There was an inseparable blood feud between them.

And now, this blood feud was finally washed away. How could they not be excited?

Li Chengye stood before Yanmen Pass and said loudly, "Yanmen Commandery Governor Li Chengye, respectfully welcomes the Champion Marquis's triumphant return!"

Subsequently.

As the army got closer and closer, Li Chengye personally led Gao Yang's horse into the city.

Subsequently.

Gao Yang ordered the entire army to rest at Yanmen Pass for two days to adjust.

At night.

Li Erji, Park Duo, and the others gathered together, accompanied by Li Chengye, drinking wine and eating meat in large mouthfuls.

These days had been too bitter, and they had been suppressed for too long.

But wine, as everyone knows, once you drink too much, although feelings warm up rapidly, it is also easy to talk too much.

Li Erji's tongue was thick as he hugged Li Chengye and said, "Governor Li, it's not that I'm talking about you, but you... are not authentic!"

Upon hearing this, Li Chengye was stunned.

"General Li, why do you say that?"

Li Erji showed an ambiguous smile on his face and said, "Governor Li, we killed the Xiongnu in Hexi until they were upside down. Such an achievement can be called the greatest victory in our Da Qian, right?"

"As for this great victory, it can be called unprecedented and is enough to be passed down in history for a thousand years!"

Li Chengye spoke decisively without the slightest hesitation.

Li Erji's face was red. "Then why aren't there any exciting programs?"

"Huh? Exciting programs?"

"What exciting programs?"

Li Chengye was stunned, a bit confused.

"Governor Li, look at you still playing dumb. We spent a month in the desert chewing sand, even the female wolves would tuck their tails when they saw us. Now that we have returned in victory, you are hiding things—I heard that inside Yanmen Pass, there are many exciting programs, such as the Hu Xuan dance of Qiuci, the belly dance of the Western Regions beauties!"

"There weren't any last time, if there aren't any this time, that would be a bit too much!"

"Brothers, don't you think so?"

Once these words were spoken.

Park Duo, Zhao Bushi, and the others raised their glasses one after another and said, "Correct!"

"Exciting programs are good, exciting programs are fun!"

"Commandery Governor Li, to tell you the truth, I am under a lot of pressure right now."

"This General too!"

Saying this, Li Chengye understood.

"Generals, I naturally know the rules. The exciting programs you speak of do exist, and they are paid for by the imperial court, considered a small reward."

"But... last time, wasn't it you Generals who voluntarily didn't want them?"

Li Erji: "???"

Park Duo: "???"

Even though he was drunk, Li Erji sensed something was wrong.

Exciting programs, and exotic styles at that, who wouldn't want that?

Could it be... there was a traitor among them.

Park Duo narrowed his eyes, sensing something was wrong, and asked cautiously, "Who said we didn't want them?"

"Minister Gao!"

"Minister Gao said that you Generals are all dragons and phoenixes among men, and that the battlefield slaughter and those bloody scenes are nothing, so he didn't want them."

For a time.

The hall, which had been bustling with conversation, fell silent.

Li Erji clutched his chest and said with tears in his eyes, "Minister Gao treated us like this, my heart... hurts so much!"

"Me too!"

"Minister Gao is too inhuman, this is simply brutal!"

"Where is Minister Gao?"

"It seems he sensed it early, he didn't come tonight."

The generals were heartbroken and spoke up one after another.

Li Chengye smiled. "Generals, Minister Gao specifically ordered this time, saying that these two battles were too bitter, so he instructed me to arrange an exciting program after you've eaten and drunk your fill."

"And Minister Gao said, when you return to Changancheng, he will take you Generals to the Royal No. 1 Club for a massage to relax properly!"

Li Erji looked stunned, his eyes wide, and said with some disbelief, "Commandery Governor Li, Da Qian people don't lie to Da Qian people, is this true?"

Wang Xiao, Park Duo, and the others also stared at Li Chengye in unison.

The Royal No. 1 Club, that's a good place!

Not to mention anything else, they also quite wanted to contribute to the students of Da Qian!

Li Chengye smiled and said, "It is naturally true!"

In an instant.

Everyone changed their faces in unison.

"Following Minister Gao is truly our good fortune!"

"I just said Minister Gao is a good person! He treats us so well, there's nothing to say."

"I propose, even though Minister Gao is not here, this cup should be toasted to Minister Gao!"

"To Minister Gao!"

"To exciting programs!"

For a time, the generals changed their faces in unison, and the wrinkles on their faces almost bloomed like flowers.

Meanwhile.

The full moon hung high, illuminating the earth.

Gao Yang stood in the courtyard, the moonlight flowing over his fish-scale armor, like broken jade adorning his shoulders. ===== CHAPTER 1804 =====
