My Antique Mirror Is A Portal To Another World-Chapter 553: Wu Ruizhan’s Requests

Growing even more curious, Bai Hanyun pulled Feng Xiyan with her and sat beside Bao Shengjie. Looking at the large screen placed on the long wooden table, she raised her brows slightly.

"What are they doing?" she asked doubtfully.

Following her gaze, Feng Xiyan looked at the screen and noticed a word carved on the ground outside the Jin Empire Army’s camp.

"Meet?" Feng Xiyan raised his brows slightly and muttered, "Has he made his decision?"

Looking at him, Hua Yuyu asked, "Brother Feng, do you want to meet that man directly or talk through the military drone?"

Feng Xiyan pondered for a moment before saying, "I will meet Great General Wu. It would be impolite to discuss such an important matter without meeting him in person."

Making his decision, Feng Xiyan said, "Brother Wu, please find Great General Wu."

"Understood." Wu Jun nodded and controlled the military drone to search for Wu Ruizhan around the Jin Empire Army’s camp.

Finding him standing outside the commander’s tent, Wu Jun handed the microphone to Feng Xiyan. After turning it on, he nodded at him.

Receiving the cue, Feng Xiyan calmly said, "Great General Wu, this is Feng Xiyan."

Hearing this, Wu Ruizhan looked up and saw the military drone hovering in the air.

Getting his attention, Feng Xiyan continued, "Let’s meet at the open field six li away from the garrison. You may bring two people with you."

After saying that, Feng Xiyan handed the microphone back to Wu Jun.

Turning off the microphone, Wu Jun controlled the drone and flew it back to the Yurong Border Pass Garrison.

Wu Ruizhan watched the drone disappear into the distance, then called out, "Go and summon General Zhong and General Xie."

A soldier guarding the commander’s tent clasped his fists and responded, "Yes, Great General Wu."

While waiting for them, Wu Ruizhan ordered the other soldier, "Bring my horse here."

"Yes, Great General Wu."

By the time Zhong Zi’an and Xie Kun arrived, the other soldier had also led Wu Ruizhan’s warhorse over.

Seeing that his warhorse was uninjured, Wu Ruizhan couldn’t help but think, ’So those attacks were just a warning.’

Hearing approaching footsteps from behind, he said without looking back, "General Xie, General Zhong, you two will accompany this general to meet Great General Feng."

Clasping their fists, Xie Kun and Zhong Zi’an responded in unison, "This subordinate accepts the order."

With that, the two soldiers went to lead Zhong Zi’an and Xie Kun’s warhorses.

Mounting their horses, the three of them left the camp and headed toward the Yurong Border Pass Garrison.

At the same time, Feng Xiyan looked at Zhan Qi and said, "General Zhan, you will accompany this general."

Zhan Qi clasped his fists. "This subordinate accepts the order."

Seeing that he brought only Zhan Qi, Hua Yuyu asked, "Brother Feng, you are only bringing General Zhan with you?"

Feng Xiyan smiled and explained, "I have my shadow guards with me."

Hearing this, Hua Yuyu nodded.

A few minutes later, Bao Shengjie said, "They are almost at the meeting place."

"Got it." Turning to Zhan Qi, Feng Xiyan said, "Let’s go."

With that, the two of them left the command room while Bai Hanyun and the others continued to observe the situation through the military drone’s camera.

By the time Feng Xiyan arrived at the meeting place, Wu Ruizhan had also arrived.

Stopping five meters apart, Feng Xiyan nodded toward Wu Ruizhan. "Greetings, Great General Wu. Have you made your decision?"

Seeing that Feng Xiyan had brought only Zhan Qi with him, Wu Ruizhan thought, ’It seems the information wasn’t wrong. Aside from Great General Feng’s sudden appearance here, the rest is accurate.’

After a moment of thought, Wu Ruizhan calmly said, "Before this general agrees to your invitation, this general has some conditions."

Knowing it was impossible to recruit capable generals and hundreds of thousands of troops for free, Feng Xiyan nodded and gestured for Wu Ruizhan to continue.

Wu Ruizhan stared at Feng Xiyan and stated, "First, this general wants you to promise me that you will save the families of the generals and soldiers."

Nodding at him, Feng Xiyan responded, "No problem."

Receiving such a straightforward answer, surprise flashed in Wu Ruizhan’s calm eyes. ’He agreed so easily?’

Although doubtful, Wu Ruizhan continued, "Second, if there comes a day when you decide to conquer the Jin Empire, this general hopes that Great General Feng will spare the common people and not kill innocent lives, including the ministers and generals of the Jin Empire’s imperial court."

"That is only natural." Feng Xiyan replied as a matter of fact.

Satisfied with Feng Xiyan’s answer, Wu Ruizhan said, "Third, this general hopes that Great General Feng will leave some dignity for the Jin Empire’s royal family if you ever conquer the empire."

Knowing the reason behind his request, Feng Xiyan raised three fingers and vowed, "This general promises to fulfill Great General Wu’s requests if you join my Feng Army."

Sitting on top of their warhorses, Xie Kun and Zhong Zi’an exchanged surprise looks. At this moment, the two of them shared the same thought.

’Is this Great General Feng really this easy to talk to?’

Despite their surprise, Feng Xiyan looked at Wu Ruizhan and asked, "Great General Wu, do you have any other requests?"

Wu Ruizhan paused for a second before asking, "Great General Feng, if this general joins your Feng Army, will you treat the generals and soldiers from my Wu Army the same as your own?"

"Of course. The moment they join my Feng Army, they become my people. This general is quite protective of my people." Feng Xiyan said with a faint smile.

Wu Ruizhan trusted his judgment of people. After a brief silence, he replied, "Alright. This general believes that Great General Feng will keep your word."

After saying that, he dismounted from his warhorse, knelt on the ground, clasped his fists, and said, "This subordinate greets the Great General."

When Xie Kun and Zhong Zi’an saw this, they also dismounted and knelt behind Wu Ruizhan.

Clasping their fists, they said in unison, "This subordinate greets the Great General."
