My Antique Mirror Is A Portal To Another World-Chapter 616: Chaos, Opportunity

When Bai Hanyun read Li Qin’s reply, her eyes lit up. [Of course. It’s my honor if Master Li can help me spread the word about my antique store.]

Soon, Li Qin sent another message, [Great. Then I will be waiting for your invitation.]

After ending the conversation, Bai Hanyun said, "It’s done. We are lucky that Master Li will help us spread the news. With his and CEO Yu’s help, I believe that there will be a lot of people attending the grand opening."

"Mhm." Feng Xiyan hummed a response, but his mind was thinking about other things.

’I wonder if I can accompany her on that day. I might need to sneak away for that.’

While Feng Xiyan was thinking about his schedule and how to squish out some time to accompany Bai Hanyun, she opened her group chat with Hua Yuyu and the others.

[Brother Hua, where is your position now?]

Ding!

Far away in the Jin Empire, inside a military tent, Hua Yuyu and the others received a notification at the same time.

Sitting around the folding table, they took out their phones and checked the message.

Seeing that it was a message from Bai Hanyun, Hua Yuyu typed a reply and sent it over.

[We are currently hiding near the Jin Empire’s border town. We plan to go directly to the imperial capital city of the Jin Empire and scout the route at the same time.]

Receiving his reply, Bai Hanyun showed the message to Feng Xiyan and said, "Brother Hua said they are currently near the border town of the Jin Empire. They plan to go directly to the imperial capital city of the Jin Empire and scout the route for us."

Feng Xiyan pondered on her words, then asked, "How could they travel so fast?"

Asked by him, Bai Hanyun smiled mysteriously and said, "You will see it later."

Raising his brows at her answer, Feng Xiyan became more curious. However, he didn’t ask further and just nodded in response.

After informing Feng Xiyan about Hua Yuyu’s plan, Bai Hanyun typed on her phone and sent another message to Hua Yuyu.

[Brother Hua, I will join you guys tomorrow at the latest.]

Ding!

Hua Yuyu read the message, then sent a reply, [Understood.]

Putting away her phone, Bai Hanyun took the portable receiver and broadcasting tower from Feng Xiyan’s hand. Putting it into her backpack without turning it off, she said, "It’s almost lunch time. Let’s get some rest first."

Glancing at the sun’s position, Feng Xiyan nodded in agreement, "Alright."

Turning to Wu Ruizhan, who was riding beside them, he said, "General Wu, let’s take a rest for lunch."

"Yes, Great General."

After another fifteen minutes of travel, Wu Ruizhan scanned the surroundings. Seeing that the place was suitable for them to have a rest, he raised his hand and ordered, "Stop! Let’s rest here for one sichen."

"Yes, General Wu!" Receiving the order, the soldiers quickly unloaded the canopy tents from the wooden carts and installed them.

Meanwhile, the kitchen staff took out the portable stoves given by Bai Hanyun yesterday and began to prepare lunch. Thanks to the portable stoves, they finished cooking in no time.

Sitting under one of the canopy tents, Bai Hanyun checked the online news using her phone.

When she saw that Yu Group had signed a contract with the Pei Group, she casually said, "As expected of CEO Yu. He managed to sign a billion-dollar contract with the Pei Group in just a few days."

While Bai Hanyun was updating her information about the modern world, Feng Xiyan went to find Wu Ruizhan.

Seeing him approaching, Wu Ruizhan stopped what he was doing and greeted Feng Xiyan, "Great General."

Feng Xiyan nodded at him, then waited for Wu Ruizhan to finish what he was doing.

Turning to the soldier, Wu Ruizhan ordered, "Since the war prisoners still have the strength to cause trouble, then let the kitchen staff reduce their food. Just give them a steamed bun and a cup of water two times a day."

Clasping his hand, the soldier responded, "Yes, General Wu."

After the soldier left to relay his command, Wu Ruizhan turned to Feng Xiyan. "Great General, do you have something to tell this subordinate?"

"General Wu, we are already halfway to the Jin Empire’s border town. Let’s begin our plan." Feng Xiyan replied.

Hearing this, Wu Ruizhan’s eyes flickered for a second, then he said, "Alright. This subordinate will let the soldiers make the preparations. We will begin the act tonight after sunset."

"Good. Then you can get busy now."

Just before Feng Xiyan took a step, Wu Ruizhan suddenly stopped him, "Great General."

Stopping in his tracks, Feng Xiyan asked, "Is there anything else, General Wu?"

Wu Ruizhan took a step closer, lowered his voice, and then said, "Great General, this subordinate just received news from the Jin Empire."

Noticing his solemn expression, Feng Xiyan asked, "What is it?"

Wu Ruizhan looked at the surroundings for a moment to make sure that nobody was eavesdropping, then replied, "The Jin Emperor suddenly fell sick two days ago. Our informants suspected that the Jin Emperor was poisoned by the princes."

"Right now, the Jin Empire’s imperial court is in chaos. The princes are fighting for the Crown Prince’s position, but the ministers and generals are all waiting for Jin Cen to return."

"If our plan went smoothly, then you might be brought back to the imperial capital city by Jin Cen to be used as a chip for him to take the throne. This will increase the danger to your safety."

Pausing for a second, he added, "By that time, we will lose our preventive chance since assassinating the Jin Emperor is useless."

Feng Xiyan listened to Wu Ruizhan’s analysis and fell into deep thought.

After a brief moment of silence, he said, "General Wu is right. However, this is our best opportunity to get into the Jin Empire. Let’s continue with the plan and act after assessing the real situation in the Jin Empire."
