My Antique Mirror Is A Portal To Another World-Chapter 625: Backup Plan

While Bai Hanyun and the Yang Mirror stared at each other in disbelief, Hua Yuyu and the others had a bad premonition.

Just when Bao Shengjie was going to speak, Bai Hanyun finally opened her lips and hesitantly asked, "..... Are you serious?"

The Yang Mirror nodded, then slowly said, ".... Yeah..."

"No way...."

Seeing that the two of them seemed to be talking in a secret language, Bao Shengjie couldn’t hold back anymore and asked, "Can you two tell us what is going on here?"

When his words fell, Bai Hanyun and the Yang Mirror turned to look at him and speak at the same time.

The Yang Mirror pointed at himself and said, "I can’t open the teleportation portal."

Bai Hanyun pointed at the Yang Mirror and said, "He can’t open the teleportation portal."

Hearing this, Bao Shengjie was stunned for a few seconds before exclaiming in shock, "What?! You can’t open the portal?!"

Nodding at him, the Yang Mirror and Bai Hanyun responded, "Mhm."

While the three of them were staring at each other in silence, Hua Yuyu and the others exchanged glances.

Wu Jun frowned slightly, then fell into deep thought. Before long, he said, "Change of plan."

The second he said this, everyone turned to look at him, waiting for him to continue.

Turning to the Yang Mirror, Wu Jun said, "Yang Mirror, you should go back first."

Although the Yang Mirror couldn’t use his spatial ability, he could still return to Bai Hanyun’s dantian.

Nodding at Wu Jun, he snapped his fingers, then turned into a streak of golden light that flew into the red mark on Bai Hanyun’s wrist.

After the Yang Mirror disappeared, Wu Jun looked at his friends. Before he could speak, a shrill scream came from below.

"Ah!! The emperor has been assassinated! Imperial guards! Quick, come here!"

Looking down, Bai Hanyun and the others saw a middle-aged eunuch running out of Jin Kui’s palace.

Because he was running so fast, the chief eunuch stumbled and rolled several times down the low stairs. Pushing himself up, he tremblingly crawled forward while shouting in terror, "The emperor has been assassinated! Someone, quickly come!"

Attracted by his shouting, the patrolling imperial guards rushed into the emperor’s palace.

Running at the front, the commander of the imperial guards was shocked when he saw the chief eunuch tremblingly crawling on the ground.

Rushing toward him, the commander quickly supported the chief eunuch up to his feet and asked urgently, "Chief Eunuch, what happened here?"

Pointing at the palace, he opened his pale lips and answered tremblingly, "His–his Majesty... Inside—!"

The chief eunuch was so shocked that he couldn’t form a complete sentence.

Not having the patience to wait for his explanation, the commander handed the chief eunuch to the nearest imperial guard.

Turning to three imperial guards, he ordered, "Three of you, come with me. You guys, go and inform the gate captain to lock the imperial palace. Let them search for the assassins immediately."

Clasping their fist, the three imperial guards responded at once, "Yes, Commander!"

After they left, the commander looked at the others and ordered, "The rest of you, block this area. Don’t let anyone step into the palace. Whoever dares to go against the order will be executed on the spot."

Clasping their fists, the imperial guards responded in unison, "Yes, Commander."

With that, the commander entered the palace with three imperial guards following closely behind, while the others quickly formed a human barrier, blocking the entrance and exit of the palace.

Seeing that the chief eunuch was too shaken to react, the imperial guard directly supported him to a nearby stone stool.

Holding his arm, the imperial guard said, "Chief Eunuch, come, have a seat first. This subordinate will go and summon the imperial physicians."

After letting him sit down, the imperial guard rushed out of the palace and headed straight toward the imperial infirmary.

Watching everything from the rooftop, Wu Jun frowned deeply. He scanned the area while mapping the imperial guards’ positions in his mind.

A few moments later, he said, "The commotion has attracted too many people. We can’t use the initial escape route."

Hearing this, Hua Yuyu asked, "Do you have any backup plans?"

Wu Jun took out his laptop and quickly turned it on.

While he was busy drafting another plan, Bai Hanyun suddenly said, "Brothers, since they already know that the emperor was assassinated, then our mission has succeeded. Since we can’t use our initial escape routes, why don’t we just use helicopters?"

The moment she said this, Wu Jun paused, pondered her suggestion, then nodded. "Miss Bai’s suggestion is good. However, we need to buy some time for me to prepare the aircraft."

Knowing that preparation takes time before a helicopter can take off, Hua Yuyu said, "Alright. Miss Bai, Gao Gong, and Shengjie will stay with you. I will go with the others and divert their attention."

Nodding at him, everyone replied in unison, "Roger that."

Seeing that no one objected, Wu Jun quickly pulled up the map of the imperial palace.

Pointing at a flower garden located in the center of the imperial palace, he said, "This place is spacious enough for the helicopter to take off. Let’s gather here in ten minutes."

"Understood," everyone responded.

Now that they had decided on the location, Hua Yuyu ordered, "Divide into teams of two and spread out."

"Yes, Captain." With that, they quickly formed their teams.

Taking out ropes and rappelling gear, Hua Yuyu and his team swiftly put them on. In one smooth motion, they descended the tall palace building in just a few seconds.

Seeing that they had landed safely and disappeared into the darkness, Gao Gong said, "Let’s go."

Following his lead, Bai Hanyun and the others quickly put on their rappelling gear.

"Miss Bai, come up," Gao Gong said after connecting her harness to his.

Without hesitation, Bai Hanyun climbed onto Gao Gong’s back and held onto his shoulders tightly. "I’m ready."
