My Antique Mirror Is A Portal To Another World-Chapter 551: Negotiation, Invitation

Standing behind Wu Jun and Bao Shengjie, Feng Xiyan quickly said, "Brother Wu, please don’t kill him. I plan to recruit him later. It would be a shame to lose such talent."

Wu Jun’s fingers paused above the keyboard. A second later, he calmly said, "I won’t kill him. He just annoyed me a little."

After speaking, Wu Jun pressed the Enter key. Instantly, the bottom of the military drone opened.

Seeing this, Wu Ruizhan felt a sense of danger. Before he could observe more closely, two small black pipes extended from the drone.

Staring at the hole-filled pipes, Wu Ruizhan thought, ’This thing is truly strange. Not only can it fly, but it can also even change its form at will.’

As the thought crossed his mind, the gun muzzles began to rotate. In the next instant, rapid gunfire echoed through the area.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

As the military drone’s target, Wu Ruizhan was forced into a dangerous situation. Under the barrage of gunshots, he leaped away from his warhorse, watching as the ground was riddled with holes.

Looking up, he realized the drone was focused entirely on him. Without changing his expression, he ran away from the main army, creating a safe distance from them.

Seeing the military drone follow him, the corner of Wu Ruizhan’s lips curved slightly upward.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

As the sounds continuously echoed in the surrounding, the gunfire drew the attention of the generals and soldiers.

"What was that sound?!" Chi Minghao exclaimed in shock while scanning the area tensely.

While he was searching for the source, Wu Jun noticed that Wu Ruizhan was deliberately luring him away from the Jin Empire army.

’What is he planning now?’

Curious about Wu Ruizhan’s intentions, Wu Jun stopped firing and continued to follow him.

Twenty minutes later, Wu Ruizhan suddenly stopped running and turned around to face the military drone.

Staring at the screen, Wu Jun frowned slightly. After a brief moment of thought, he moved the secondary camera of the drone to scan the area while keeping the main camera focused on Wu Ruizhan’s movements.

Seeing that the second eye of the strange black thing rolled around while its first eye stared at him, Wu Ruizhan thought, ’It can even control its eyes freely. Looks like I need to change my plan a little.’

Making up his mind, Wu Ruizhan calmly stared at the military drone and said, "Great General Feng, let’s talk."

When Wu Jun saw Wu Ruizhan’s lip movements, he turned on the speaker. Turning to Feng Xiyan, Wu Jun said, "He is requesting a conversation with you, Brother Feng."

Hearing this, Feng Xiyan nodded. "Alright."

"You can talk to him using this." Wu Jun turned on the microphone and handed it to Feng Xiyan.

Holding the microphone, Feng Xiyan looked at Wu Ruizhan through the screen and said, "Great General Wu, is there something you wish to discuss with this general?"

Wu Ruizhan’s eyes flickered for a second when he heard Feng Xiyan’s voice coming from the military drone.

’As expected. He is watching us.’

Keeping his expressionless face, Wu Ruizhan calmly replied, "Great General Feng, you must already know my intention in coming here. If you release our Second Prince, Seventh Princess, and Imperial Teacher, this general will withdraw our troops and will not step into the Yu Empire for five years."

Although Feng Xiyan believed that Wu Ruizhan would keep his word, he had no reason to release Jin Cen, Jin Yan, and Shi Yixi so easily. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Great General Wu, you know you are not in a position to negotiate terms with this general. Besides, this general not only has your prince and princess, but also your generals and one hundred and fifty thousand troops captive."

Feng Xiyan paused for a second before asking, "Tell me—what can you use to exchange for these people?"

Narrowing his eyes, Wu Ruizhan thought, ’This cunning wolf. He really knows how to squeeze people dry.’

Instead of answering Feng Xiyan’s question, Wu Ruizhan asked in return, "Great General Feng, what do you want?"

Feng Xiyan had been waiting for this question. The corner of his lips curved up slightly as he replied, "This general wants you."

The moment his words fell, Bai Hanyun turned to look at him and raised her brows slightly.

Receiving her probing gaze, Feng Xiyan maintained his calm expression, but his left hand secretly reached out and held hers tightly.

Despite Feng Xiyan’s ambiguous words, Wu Ruizhan understood his meaning clearly.

’Indeed. Joining the Feng Army is better than staying in the Jin Empire and walking on thin ice. But...’

Seeing that Wu Ruizhan fell silent, Feng Xiyan said, "Great General Wu, take your time to consider it. This general will give you two sichens to think about my invitation. When the time is up, we can only meet on the battlefield."

After saying that, he nodded to Wu Jun. Receiving the signal, Wu Jun turned off the microphone and controlled the military drone to fly away.

Watching the military drone disappear into the morning sky, Wu Ruizhan clenched his fists. As time ticked by, he took a deep breath and returned to the camp.

When he arrived not far from the camp, Wu Ruizhan saw faint smoke rising into the morning sky. Standing there, he looked at his soldiers and fell into deep thought.

When a soldier noticed him, he shouted excitedly, "The Great General Wu is back!"

The moment the shout echoed through the gloomy surroundings, everyone’s expression brightened.

Rushing toward him, Zhong Zi’an asked worriedly, "Great General Wu, where did you go? What was happening just now?"

"This general is fine." Wu Ruizhan looked at the worried expressions of the generals and added, "This general has something important to discuss with all of you. Come with me."

Zhong Zi’an exchanged glances with the other generals before following Wu Ruizhan into the commander’s tent.

As soon as they entered, Chi Minghao could no longer hold back his curiosity. "Great General, what was happening just now? Why are there so many holes in the ground? And what were those sounds?"

Taking the main seat, Wu Ruizhan gestured for the generals to sit.

After everyone had taken their seats, he calmly explained, "It was one of the Feng Army’s heavenly weapons."

The moment his words fell, the generals gasped in shock.
