My Antique Mirror Is A Portal To Another World

Just as Feng Wu thought they might return empty-handed again tonight, one of his subordinates suddenly called out, "Captain, look at what I have found!"

Hearing this, Feng Wu hurried over and examined the symbol carved into the stone path. The moment he saw the familiar marking, his eyes widened in shock.

"This..."

Sensing his shock, the shadow guard asked, "Captain, do you recognize these symbols?" 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Feng Wu nodded. "Mhm. I have seen them before."

After saying that, he took out a piece of paper from his Qiankun Pouch and showed it to the others.

Looking at the symbols on the paper, the shadow guard who had discovered them asked, "Captain, where did you get this?"

"I wasn’t the one who found these symbols. It was the Fourth Brother," Feng Wu explained.

The moment they heard that Feng Si was the one who had discovered them, the shadow guards were visibly surprised.

Coming back to his senses, another shadow guard said, "If Captain Feng Si found them, then their origin must not be simple."

"Mhm. I heard that the Fourth Brother discovered these symbols during a secret mission for our Master," Feng Wu added.

Now that they were certain the symbols matched the ones found by Feng Si, their expressions turned serious.

After thinking for a moment, Feng Wu said, "One of you, go inform our Master. The rest will stay with me and search for more symbols. As soon as you find one, dig it out and store it in your Qiankun Pouch."

Clasping their fists, the shadow guards responded in unison, "Yes, Captain."

After assigning the tasks, they spread out to continue the search, while Feng Wu dug out the one they had found and stored it in his Qiankun Pouch.

While they searched the imperial palace, the banquet in the imperial garden reached its peak.

Seeing that the dancers had finished and withdrawn, Jin Yu finally spoke. "Great General Feng, what do you think of this banquet?"

’He finally speaks.’ Feng Xiyan thought, then replied calmly, "It’s good."

Seeing his composed expression, Jin Yu did not rush.

He took a sip of wine, set the cup down, and said, "Not long ago, Zhen received some interesting news from the Yu Empire. Zhen wonders... are you aware of it, Great General Feng?"

Feng Xiyan had already guessed what Jin Yu intended to say, but he remained silent.

After a brief pause, Jin Yu continued, "The Yu Emperor, Yu Fu, and Empress Dowager Wen have been executed by the new emperor, Wen Kang. Zhen also heard that the Prince Regent, Yu Zhao, died in an assassination."

"Now, the entire Yu Empire has fallen into chaos. Great General Feng, do you think such an empire is still worthy of you?"

Jin Yu smiled faintly and added, "Why not join Zhen’s empire? Zhen will grant you the same position as Great General Wu. With both of you supporting Zhen, it won’t be long before we conquer the Central Continent together."

The moment his words fell, the entire imperial garden sank into silence.

As he waited for Feng Xiyan’s response, Jin Yu observed him closely, not missing even the slightest expression or movement.

Feng Xiyan did not answer for a long time. After finishing his wine, he calmly placed the empty cup down and looked at Jin Yu.

Just as he was about to speak, Feng Xiyan sensed the presence of his shadow guard. Glancing in a direction, he caught the hand signals.

[Master, we found strange symbols carved into the stone paths around the imperial palace. The captain ordered us to dig them out and collect them. Currently, we are searching for the rest.]

When Feng Xiyan received the message, his eyes flickered briefly.

Seeing that the message had been delivered, the shadow guard disappeared from his hiding place.

Afterward, Feng Xiyan looked at Jin Yu and said, "Thank you for your invitation, Jin Emperor. However, this general cannot accept your offer."

Jin Yu’s expression darkened when he heard Feng Xiyan’s words. He stared at Feng Xiyan for a moment before dangerously saying, "Great General Feng, you should reconsider Zhen’s offer carefully."

Sitting beside him, Bai Hanyun whispered, "Feng Xiyan, he is threatening you."

Feng Xiyan smiled faintly and gently squeezed her hand.

Seeing that he could still smile, Jin Yu frowned slightly. ’He can still smile? Has he lost his mind? Doesn’t he realize that with Great General Wu and his army here, he won’t be able to leave this place?’

Unable to understand where Feng Xiyan’s confidence came from, Jin Yu stopped probing and spoke directly.

"Great General Feng, tonight, you will either submit to Zhen... or leave your life here."

When he said this, Feng Xiyan chuckled. "You have finally stopped beating around the bush. Unfortunately, the one who should be worried about seeing tomorrow’s sunlight is not this general, but you, Jin Yu."

As soon as his words fell, Jin Yu felt a surge of unease. ’Not good. This is a trap!’

Before he could react, Feng Xiyan flipped his palm, and a small bamboo whistle appeared. Without hesitation, he blew it.

Pwi—!

The sharp sound echoed through the air.

In the next second, hundreds of Feng Army elite soldiers rushed into the imperial garden, clashing with the imperial guards, while more elite soldiers moved to surround the entire imperial palace.

Jin Yu’s face darkened at this sight. He turned to Wu Ruizhan and asked coldly, "Great General Wu, what is the meaning of this?"

Wu Ruizhan held his wife’s hand as he stood, calmly meeting Jin Yu’s gaze. "Jin Emperor, this general has long since joined Great General Feng."

Hearing this, Jin Yu realized he had invited wolves into his home. His hands clenched tightly as he gritted his teeth.

"Wu Ruizhan... very good. You even deceived Zhen with your acting."

Wu Ruizhan smiled faintly. "Thank you for your praise, Jin Emperor."

Watching everything unfold, the ministers and generals finally understood—Jin Yu had not only failed to recruit Feng Xiyan, but had fallen straight into his trap.
