Feng Xiyan placed the bronze mirror back on the altar and said, "Go to the Great General’s Mansion and tell Uncle Huang to prepare two boxes of valuables and bring them here."
"Yes, Master." Feng Yi replied, then disappeared.
Looking at the bronze mirror, Feng Xiyan sighed and muttered, "I don’t know if I will ever be able to repay her kindness in this lifeti."
anwhile, Bai Hanyun and Hua Yuyu had just arrived ho. After splitting the breakfast, Bai Hanyun returned to her house while Hua Yuyu went back to his capsule ho.
Although Hua Yuyu was Bai Hanyun’s personal bodyguard, they rarely interacted unless sothing happened. Other than accompanying her when she went out, Hua Yuyu usually stayed out of sight. Sotis, Bai Hanyun even forgot that he lived in her front yard.
Just as Bai Hanyun returned to her bedroom and took the antique mirror out of her backpack, it began to glow brightly.
"Ouch!"
Stung by the sudden light, she instinctively closed her eyes and scolded the antique mirror. "Do you want to blind ? How many tis have I told you not to light up without warning?"
As if displeased by her complaint, the antique mirror glowed even brighter.
"Heaven! Tone it down!" Bai Hanyun exclaid, shielding her eyes with her hands.
Eventually, the light dimd, and Bai Hanyun opened her eyes. Glaring at the antique mirror, she poked its surface and asked, "What is wrong with you? Are you sick again?"
Just as she was glaring at it, the antique mirror’s surface suddenly changed. Seeing this, Bai Hanyun leaned in curiously.
The mont her eyes fell on the image reflected in the antique mirror, they widened in surprise.
Staring at the black fog hovering above the camp below, Bai Hanyun curiously asked the antique mirror, "Why are you showing this? Where is this?"
In response to her question, the image slowly zood in until Bai Hanyun saw people wearing clothes made from animal skins and coarse cloth.
She observed them closely and noticed that most had braided hair and beards, tanned skin, and thick brows.
Rubbing her chin, Bai Hanyun muttered, "They look very different from Feng Xiyan and the others. Could it be... these people are from the Yuezhi Tribe?"
While she was still observing, the image changed again. This ti, it showed a tent with dozens of soldiers guarding it from the outside.
Unable to understand why the antique mirror was showing her this, Bai Hanyun asked, "What do you want to do by showing this?"
After her question, the image zood in once more.
As the antique mirror revealed the inside of the tent, Bai Hanyun saw two n wearing clothes in the sa style as Feng Xiyan, sitting among the Yuezhi Tribe people.
"Hmm? Why are people from the Yu Empire dining with these people?"
Just as she was pondering this, the antique mirror briefly flashed, and voices echoed through her bedroom.
"Second Young Master Wen, it is our honor to have you visit us personally," said the man sitting at the main seat, addressing the young man in red sitting below him.
Picking up a bronze wine cup, Wen Yirui took a calm sip. After setting it down, he said, "I’m here on behalf of my father and paternal aunt to ask when you plan to fulfill your promise."
Hearing this, Kai Mu’s expression darkened. He sneered inwardly and thought, ’How dare he question after failing to hold up their end of the agreent!’
Though angry, Kai Mu masked his feelings with a chuckle. "Second Young Master Wen is joking. We haven’t received anything from Pri Minister Wen or Empress Dowager Wen. How can you expect us to act without compensation?"
Wen Yirui’s face darkened at his words. He grabbed the bronze wine cup and threw it to the ground.
Thud!
The mont the bronze wine cup hit the floor, the Yuezhi Tribe generals and the Wen Clan’s guards drew their swords simultaneously.
Watching this unfold through the antique mirror’s surface, Bai Hanyun exclaid, "Oh my! This is more exciting than a scene from the costu drama I recently followed! No, this is too exciting! I need to get so snacks!"
Clutching the antique mirror, she hurried downstairs toward the kitchen. anwhile, inside the tent, the atmosphere grew increasingly tense.
Staring at Wen Yirui, Kai Mu sneered. "Second Young Master Wen, what do you an by this?"
Wen Yirui flicked his sleeves arrogantly and said, "Presumptuous! How dare you question ? One word from , and the Wen Army will crush your Yuezhi Tribe to dust!"
Hearing this, not only Kai Mu but also the Yuezhi Tribe generals were enraged.
One of the generals spat on the ground and said, "Bah! Just a weak chicken! Do you think I wouldn’t dare kill you?!"
Wen Yirui snorted and raised his chin proudly at the general’s words. "This young master will stand right here. Let’s see if you truly dare to touch ."
Wen Yirui’s arrogant words break the last string of the general’s patience. The general charged forward as he shouted, "Let see if you can still talk after I chop off your head!"
Just when his sword was an inch away from Wen Yirui’s neck, Kai Mu slapped the table and shouted, "Enough!"
The general halted and turned to him in frustration. "Supre General, we can’t let this arrogant brat humiliate us like this!"
The mont his words fell, Kai Mu silenced him with a cold glance.
Knowing there was no point in continuing negotiations with Wen Yirui in this situation, Kai Mu clapped twice. Soon, three beautiful won entered the tent.
As soon as Wen Yirui saw them, his eyes locked on their half-naked bodies and veiled faces.
Seeing his reaction, Kai Mu sneered inwardly. ’What an idiot. One day, he will die under a woman’s skirt.’
Though he was sneering at Wen Yirui’s lustful expression, Kai Mu laughed and said, "Second Young Master Wen, I have heard of your fondness for beauties. These are the finest won of my tribe, prepared especially to entertain you."
