My Antique Mirror Is A Portal To Another World-Chapter 132: Jiang Yinqi’s Sudden Visit

The gate captain clasped his fists when he heard Tan Pengtai’s order and replied, "Yes, General Tan."

With all arrangements complete, Tan Pengtai returned to the barracks to report to Feng Xiyan.

When the refugees learned they would receive porridge and shelter in military tents, they calmed down and obediently followed the soldiers’ instructions.

Watching from afar, Gui Ying’s eyes lit up. Slowly fanning himself, he chuckled.

"Interesting. Feng Xiyan, you indeed didn’t disappoint this young master." Laughing in satisfaction, he made his way to the city gate to join the crowd.

Ha Tuo saw this, thought for a moment, then stood up from the stone boulder and said, "Mother, A Mi, let’s go."

"We are not waiting for your friends anymore?" Madam Ha asked.

Ha Tuo supported his mother by the arm and explained, "We will still wait for them, but we need to go get the porridge, and maybe we can stay in those tents later. I will see what I can do later for us to stay there."

Thinking that they indeed needed food and shelter, Madam Ha nodded in agreement. "Alright."

With that, the family of three slowly made their way to the city gate and joined the long queue in front of the porridge stall to receive a bowl of porridge.

Two hours later, it was finally their turn.

The kitchen staff looked at Ha Tuo and asked, "Did you bring a bowl?"

Ha Tuo shook his head. "I don’t have one."

Hearing this, the kitchen staff took a clean bowl from a bamboo basket beside him and filled it with thick porridge.

Handing it to Ha Tuo, he said, "You can keep this bowl. Just remember to bring it next time."

Holding the earthen bowl filled with hot, thick porridge, Ha Tuo’s eyes reddened as he said gratefully, "Thank you, sir."

The kitchen staff nodded, then called out, "Next one!"

Walking away, Ha Tuo carefully held the bowl of porridge and watched his mother and younger sister use the bamboo tubes given by Gui Ying to collect their porridge.

As they approached him, Ha Mi beamed. "Elder Brother, look! It’s porridge! They really gave us porridge!"

Seeing her bright smile, Ha Tuo was overwhelmed with emotion. He turned and saw similar expressions of hope and gratitude on the faces of other refugees.

Swallowing his tears, he nodded and responded in a hoarse voice. "Mhm. It’s porridge."

Carrying their food, the three of them found a quieter spot and sat down to eat.

The moment Ha Tuo took his first sip, his eyes widened in shock.

’Salty... They even have salt? No wonder we can’t beat the Feng Army. They actually have food, water, and salt on top of their powerful weapons!’

Recovering from his surprise, Ha Tuo looked at the patrolling soldiers. Seeing their healthy complexions and sturdy builds, he made a decision.

’My decision to leave the Yuezhi Tribe was right. Only by following Great General Feng can I protect my family and provide them with food and shelter.’

Clenching his fist tightly, he added with determination, ’I must find a way to join the Feng Army.’

With that in mind, Ha Tuo turned to his mother and younger sister and said in a low voice, "Mother, A Mi, after you finish eating, we will go register our names. I will go ask the soldiers later and see if I can find work. To live decently, we need money, so I plan to earn some while we wait for the others."

Madam Ha sighed as she listened to her son’s plan and held Ha Tuo’s thin hand. She gently patted the back of his hand and said tearfully, "A Tuo, it’s been hard on you. If not for mother, you and A Mi—"

Ha Tuo shook his head and smiled, "Mother, it’s not hard. I’m the only man in our family. It’s my duty to take care of you and A Mi. This is what I should do."

After he informed his mother and younger sister, Ha Tuo went to find out how to get access to live in the military tent and find a job.

While the situation in Xiqiang City had calmed down, someone paid a visit to Bai Hanyun.

Seeing the man standing in front of her, Bai Hanyun asked in surprise, "Attorney Jiang?"

Jiang Yinqi smiled and asked, "Won’t you invite me in, Miss Bai?"

"Of course. Please come inside." Bai Hanyun stepped aside to let him in, then closed the door behind her.

Once they were seated on the couch in the living room, Bai Hanyun asked, "Attorney Jiang, why did you suddenly come here?"

Jiang Yinqi opened his suitcase, took out a file, and placed it on the low table.

He pushed it toward Bai Hanyun, set a pen on top of it, and said, "This is the chairman’s appointment document. If everything looks fine, you can sign it."

Bai Hanyun picked up the pen, read the contract carefully, and signed it.

She then handed the file and pen back to Jiang Yinqi and said, "Attorney Jiang, you could’ve just mailed the contract. You didn’t need to come in person."

Jiang Yinqi looked at her and asked, "Hanyun, has anything happened to you lately?"

Hearing him call her by name, Bai Hanyun knew something was wrong. She shook her head and replied, "Elder Brother Yinqi, nothing has happened. Why do you ask?"

Jiang Yinqi let out a sigh of relief at her answer. Then he opened his phone, showed her a picture, and asked, "Do you know this man?"

Bai Hanyun looked at the photo and raised her brows at the familiar face. Rubbing her chin, she thought, ’Isn’t this the person I saw in the antique mirror before?’

Shaking her head, she replied, "I don’t know him."

Noticing Jiang Yinqi’s frown, Bai Hanyun curiously asked, "Who is he? Why do you show me his photo?"

Jiang Yinqi fell into silence for a few seconds before replying, "His name is Gui Sihong. This man is from the second branch of the Gui Family in Shang Du City."

"A few days ago, a friend of mine—who works at a detective agency—told me this man was investigating you. Do you know why?"
