My Antique Mirror Is A Portal To Another World-Chapter 115: Letter, Scheme

Frowning slightly at Kong Jixing’s words, Wen Yirui said, "This young master heard your master expelled you from your sect, and you disappeared from Jianghu after that. Why are you here now? And working for Kai Mu, of all people?"

Kong Jixing leisurely fanned himself and smiled. "There is no place for this poor man in the Central Continent. So I had to find a way to survive elsewhere."

"It was just a coincidence that this poor man met the Supreme General a few years ago. Since he is willing to pay me well and offer protection, why shouldn’t this poor man work for him?"

Hearing this, Wen Yirui offered, "Since you are only working for Kai Mu because of the pay and protection, why not work for this young master instead? This young master will pay you ten times what he does, and assign a team of elite experts to protect you."

Kong Jixing chuckled when he heard Wen Yirui’s promise. Shaking his head, he asked, "Second Young Master, do you even know who my enemies are?"

Wen Yirui shrugged and replied, "This young master doesn’t care who your enemies are. As long as you are under my protection, no one will dare touch you."

Amused by his naïveté, Kong Jixing smiled. "Second Young Master, if you want me to work for you, prove yourself worthy first. Until then, there is no point in making empty promises."

With that, Kong Jixing chuckled and exited the tent.

Watching his back as Kong Jixing disappeared from his sight, Wen Yirui narrowed his eyes.

’Since this young master had the chance to meet you here, you can only end up working for me. Kong Jixing, working under Kai Mu is a waste of your talent. If you want proof, this young master will show you just how worthy I am to be your master.’

Making his decision, Wen Yirui picked up the writing brush and wrote a letter. When he was finished, he called, "Someone, come."

Soon, a bodyguard entered the tent and bowed. "Second Young Master, what are your orders?"

Wen Yirui handed him the letter and instructed, "Deliver this to General Ji in Xiquan City immediately. Make sure to personally hand this letter to General Ji."

The bodyguard accepted the letter and said, "Yes, Second Young Master. This subordinate will leave at once."

After the bodyguard left, Wen Yirui smiled faintly. "Since this young master has his eyes on you, Kong Jixing—sooner or later, you will come to me of your own free will."

While Wen Yirui was scheming to win over Kong Jixing, Feng Xiyan had just finished supervising the morning training session and returned to his tent.

After he cleaned his body and changed his clothes, Feng Xiyan lit three sticks of incense and prayed.

"Fairy Bai, Xiyan wishes to talk to you." He then stuck the incense in the burner and waited.

As the incense smoke disappeared into the bronze mirror, the antique mirror on Bai Hanyun’s bedside table lit up.

Noticing this, Bai Hanyun paused the drama she was watching and reached for the antique mirror.

A second later, Feng Xiyan’s voice echoed in her bedroom.

"Fairy Bai, Xiyan wishes to talk to you."

Hearing this, Bai Hanyun tapped the antique mirror’s frame twice.

After the surface cleared up, Bai Hanyun saw Feng Xiyan waiting in front of the mirror and said, "Feng Xiyan, I’m here. What do you want to talk about?"

Feng Xiyan smiled when he heard her voice and replied, "Answering Fairy Bai, General Tan just reported to me that the military tents are very suitable for us."

"After considering the number of workers in the smithy and farmland, as well as the new recruits, Xiyan boldly requests more military tents from Fairy Bai."

Hearing his report, Bai Hanyun smiled. "I’m glad you all can use them. How many more do you need?"

Feng Xiyan calculated for a moment and replied, "We need at least another 2,000 military tents of the same size."

"No problem. Do you need another size?" Bai Hanyun asked.

Feng Xiyan raised his brows. "There are other sizes?"

"Of course. These military tents come in various sizes. Do you want smaller ones as well?"

After thinking for a few seconds, Feng Xiyan replied, "If it’s not too much trouble for Fairy Bai, then Xiyan would like a few smaller tents."

Since the big tent can be used in the barracks, the small tent must be used for something else. With this in mind, Bai Hanyun asked curiously, "What do you plan to use the small tent for? How many do you want?"

Sensing her curiosity, Feng Xiyan explained, "Xiyan plans to send a few teams to scout the area outside the city. The mission will take at least a few days round-trip. Smaller tents would be more convenient for them to carry."

Understanding his reasoning, Bai Hanyun thought for a moment before saying, "Feng Xiyan, I have something even better than military tents for that purpose. I will prepare some samples and send them along with the tents later."

The moment she said this, Feng Xiyan’s eyes lit up. He clasped his fists and said gratefully, "Thank you, Fairy Bai."

Then he added, "Please wait a moment, Fairy Bai. Xiyan has something for you."

Without waiting for a reply, Feng Xiyan went to his bed and retrieved a small wooden box from a hidden compartment. Returning with it, he smiled and placed it on the altar.

"Fairy Bai, please accept this gift."

After he said that, the bronze mirror shone for a few seconds. When the golden light faded, the wooden box disappeared from his altar and appeared on Bai Hanyun’s bed.

Opening the wooden box, Bai Hanyun was surprised to see a wooden hairpin inside. She touched the smooth surface and looked at Feng Xiyan through the antique mirror.

"This is...?"

Feng Xiyan smiled and explained, "I carved that wooden hairpin myself. Xiyan has nothing valuable to offer, so I hope Fairy Bai won’t dislike it."
