My Antique Mirror Is A Portal To Another World-Chapter 540: First Meeting, Curiosity

"Well done," Feng Xiyan said after listening to Feng Wu’s report.

Remembering that Feng Wu likes sweets, he took out several cups of bubble milk tea he had saved for Bai Hanyun from his Qiankun Pouch.

Handing them to Feng Wu and Shi Yi, he added, "Both of you, go get some rest."

Receiving the bubble milk tea, Feng Wu’s eyes lit up. "Thank you, Master!"

While Feng Wu happily hugged the bubble milk tea, Shi Yi calmly stored his bubble milk tea in his medium-grade Qiankun Pouch.

Seeing that Shi Yi didn’t drink it, Feng Wu asked quietly as they stood outside the command room, "Shi Yi, why aren’t you drinking it? It’s rare for our master to reward us with bubble milk tea. Usually, he is so stingy and only takes it out for Fairy Bai."

Standing straight like a pine tree, Shi Yi replied expressionlessly, "I don’t like sweets."

Hearing this, Feng Wu’s eyes widened in shock, as if Shi Yi had committed an unforgivable sin. "No way! How could you not like sweets? Shi Yi, how have you lived your life all these years?"

Glancing at Feng Wu’s shocked expression, Shi Yi looked up at the sky and thought, ’No wonder the brothers and sisters of the Fifth Division behave like a pack of hyenas when they see food and sweets. Turns out their strange behavior is all because of Captain Feng Wu.’

While Shi Yi silently pitied the shadow guards under Feng Wu’s command, Zhan Qi and his troops finally entered the Yurong Border Pass Garrison and immediately noticed the blood traces on the ground and the walls.

As someone who had grown up on the battlefield, Zhan Qi immediately noticed the gloomy aura of death shrouding the garrison.

Riding beside him, Tuluo Cheng frowned slightly. He scanned the surroundings and muttered, "The atmosphere here is very unsettling. I wonder what happened to create such an oppressive feeling."

Zhan Qi listened to his words but said nothing in response. Upon arriving at the open field, Zhan Qi dismounted, followed by the soldiers.

Inside the command room, Feng Xiyan heard the sound of horse hooves and knew that Zhan Qi had arrived. Standing up from his seat, he walked outside.

Looking down, Feng Xiyan spotted Zhan Qi and Tuluo Cheng at a glance.

Sensing someone’s gaze, Zhan Qi looked up. When he saw Feng Xiyan, his eyes lit up. Without wasting a second, he knelt down, clasped his fists, and greeted, "This subordinate greets the Great General!"

Hearing this, Tuluo Cheng and the soldiers also knelt and clasped their fists. "This subordinate greets the Great General!"

As their powerful voices echoed through the silent surroundings, Feng Xiyan calmly said, "Please rise. It’s been a long and arduous journey. You all should have a good meal and rest early today."

"Thank you, Great General!" the soldiers responded in unison.

Looking at Zhan Qi and Tuluo Cheng, Feng Xiyan added, "General Zhan, Military Advisor Tuluo, come and meet me after you’ve had some rest."

Zhan Qi exchanged a glance with Tuluo Cheng, then replied, "Yes, Great General." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

After Feng Xiyan returned to the command room, Zhan Qi turned to Tuluo Cheng and asked, "Military Advisor Tuluo, do you think the Great General is going to tell us what happened here?"

Tuluo Cheng pondered for a moment while looking at the bloodstains on the ground. Turning back to Zhan Qi, he replied, "Mhm. However, judging from these bloodstains, I think General Zhan should prepare himself mentally."

Zhan Qi’s expression turned serious at his words. "Understood."

Seeing the worry creasing his brows, Tuluo Cheng added, "Let’s clean up first, then go meet the Great General."

"Mhm." Turning to the soldiers, Zhan Qi said, "You all heard the Great General. Clean up this place and prepare the meal."

"Yes, General Zhan!"

After issuing the orders, Zhan Qi and Tuluo Cheng simply dusted off their clothes and wiped their faces clean with a wet cloth before heading up to the command room.

A few minutes later, Bai Hanyun noticed the two of them approaching and greeted them with a smile. "General Zhan, Military Advisor Tuluo, I hope you have been well these past few days."

Clasping their fists, the two bowed politely. "This subordinate greets Fairy Bai."

Seeing their tired and dusty appearance, Bai Hanyun stood up. "Feng Xiyan, the soldiers must be exhausted after such a long journey. I will go and prepare a few more dishes for their meal tonight."

Knowing she was deliberately giving them space to discuss military affairs, Feng Xiyan nodded. "Alright."

After Bai Hanyun left, Zhan Qi glanced at the unfamiliar equipment covering the table, then looked at Feng Xiyan and hesitantly asked, "Great General, this is...?"

Realizing it was Zhan Qi’s first time meeting Wu Jun, Feng Xiyan introduced them. "General Zhan, Military Advisor Tuluo, this is Wu Jun. He is one of Yun’er’s close friends and bodyguards."

Hearing this, Zhan Qi and Tuluo Cheng looked at Wu Jun with both curiosity and respect. Clasping their fists, they bowed slightly and said in unison, "Greetings, Young Master Wu."

Wu Jun stood up and returned the gesture with a military salute. "Greetings, General Zhan, Military Advisor Tuluo. It’s an honor to meet you both."

Noticing Wu Jun’s black combat suit and the weapons on his body, Zhan Qi couldn’t help but study him curiously.

Not wanting to disturb Wu Jun’s work, Feng Xiyan said, "General Zhan, Military Advisor Tuluo, let’s talk in the next room."

"Yes, Great General," Zhan Qi replied, reluctantly following Feng Xiyan out while glancing curiously at the laptops, military drones, and boxes of weapons.

Before leaving, Tuluo Cheng took one last look at the modern equipment, weapons, and Wu Jun.

Watching Tuluo Cheng’s retreating figure, Wu Jun’s eyes flickered briefly before returning to normal. He stared at the door for a moment, then sat back down and continued mapping the area.

In the next room, Feng Xiyan gestured for Zhan Qi and Tuluo Cheng to sit around the square wooden table.

"General Zhan, Military Advisor Tuluo, please have a seat."

Once seated, Zhan Qi asked, "Great General, what exactly is happening here? Where are the soldiers stationed at this garrison? Why is there no one here besides us?"

Looking at them, Feng Xiyan said grimly, "General Zhan, we have another enemy, one that is more dangerous than the Jin Empire’s army."

The moment his words fell, Zhan Qi and Tuluo Cheng’s expressions sank.
