My Antique Mirror Is A Portal To Another World-Chapter 658: Jin Cen’s Offer

Feng Xiyan smiled at Bai Hanyun, then replied, "I followed your suggestion and took the Yuan Pill. I’m fine now."

After saying that, he noticed Hua Yuyu’s side profile appeared at the corner of the screen and asked, "Are you with Brother Hua and the others?"

"Mhm." Bai Hanyun nodded, then put the phone down on the table.

Seeing that everyone was there, Feng Xiyan knew that she had not called him for a personal talk and asked, "Yun’er, you called me today... Do you have something to tell me?"

Bai Hanyun nodded, then asked, "Feng Xiyan, we used a military drone to monitor your situation there. Just now, we noticed that the number of soldiers has decreased. Can you tell us where those soldiers are?"

Being asked by her, Feng Xiyan lowered his voice and asked back, "Yun’er, do you remember that I told you last night that we might need to change our plan?"

Bai Hanyun nodded in response.

Then, Feng Xiyan continued, "Since the Jin Emperor had died and the imperial capital city was in chaos, I had a discussion with General Wu and the others after our conversation."

"The fight between the Jin Empire’s princesses for the throne will only escalate by the day. If we don’t react fast, we might miss the best opportunity to take action."

"After considering the pros and cons, we decided to secretly dispatch some of the soldiers to save the soldiers’ families across the Jin Empire."

Bai Hanyun and the others listened to Feng Xiyan’s explanation and realized that he wanted to fish in murky waters.

Looking at him with admiration, Bai Hanyun sincerely praised, "Feng Xiyan, you are a genius!"

Feng Xiyan chuckled after receiving her praise. "Thank you, Yun’er, for your praise, but this decision was made after a discussion with General Wu and the others. It’s the result of everyone’s effort."

He paused for a second, then asked, "Yun’er, now that your team has completed your mission, would you guys rejoin the main team?"

Bai Hanyun thought for a moment, then shook her head. "While Brother Wu was monitoring the situation in the imperial capital city three days ago, he noticed something strange. We might need to investigate this matter further, so we won’t join the main team for now."

Listening to her explanation, Feng Xiyan frowned slightly.

After a brief moment of thought, he asked, "Yun’er, do you think that strangeness has something to do with the barrier sealing the Yang Mirror and the Yin Mirror’s power?"

"I’m not sure, but I have a feeling that there is another hidden force in the Jin Empire that is stronger and more terrifying than the Jin Empire itself," Bai Hanyun replied solemnly.

Feng Xiyan looked at her for a few seconds in silence, then nodded. "Alright, I understand. Then, please inform me if you find anything new. I will also dispatch some shadow guards to investigate this matter right away."

"Good."

Just when Bai Hanyun said that, an elite soldier noticed that Jin Cen was approaching the iron cage with Shi Yixi.

Hearing the faint conversation from the iron cage, he walked closer, then lowered his voice and said, "Great General, the Second Prince of the Jin Empire is approaching."

The moment his words fell, Jin Cen’s voice followed, "Open the cloth."

Inside the iron cage, Feng Xiyan overheard this and quickly said, "Someone is coming. Let’s talk later."

Without waiting for Bai Hanyun’s response, he ended the video call.

Waving his hand, he put away his phone and the investigation reports he was reading into his Qiankun Pouch. After he was done, Feng Xiyan tapped the iron cage twice.

Ding. Ding.

Receiving the signal, the elite soldier nodded to the other elite soldiers, and they lifted the long cloth covering the iron cage.

As the sudden bright light shone into the iron cage, Feng Xiyan covered his eyes with his hand.

Before his eyes could adjust to the morning sunlight, Jin Cen chuckled and slowly said, "Feng Xiyan, you also have this day."

Hearing this, Feng Xiyan lowered his hand and looked up. As his eyes met Jin Cen’s, Feng Xiyan calmly asked, "Second Prince, what kind of wind has brought you here to see this general today?"

Seeing how calm and clean he was, Jin Cen frowned.

Glancing at the escort team’s captain, he said with a hint of displeasure in his voice, "General Wu is really generous. His treatment of a war prisoner is even better than the treatment he gave this prince."

Noticing the hidden meaning in his words, the Escort Captain pretended to be stupid and ignored him.

When Jin Cen saw this, he clenched his hands.

Narrowing his eyes, he secretly thought, ’This Wu Ruizhan is really presumptuous. Not only him, but even his subordinates dare to ignore this prince! This prince must punish all of them the second this prince ascends the dragon throne.’

While he was thinking, Feng Xiyan kept his eyes on Jin Cen. Seeing the cruelty and dissatisfaction flash across his eyes, Feng Xiyan fell into a deep thought.

Standing beside Jin Cen, Shi Yixi leaned closer, lowered his voice, and reminded him, "Your Highness, don’t forget our purpose here today."

Reminded by him, Jin Cen came out of his thoughts and looked at Feng Xiyan.

Smiling slightly, he said, "Feng Xiyan, this prince is not here to fight you."

When Feng Xiyan heard this, he raised his brows slightly. "Oh? Then what is your purpose in visiting this general?"

Jin Cen tried to figure out what Feng Xiyan was thinking through his facial expression, but found nothing.

After a brief moment of silence, he said, "Feng Xiyan, submit to this prince, and you will have more glory and wealth than you can imagine. After this prince ascends the dragon throne, this prince will confer on you the title of first-ranked prince and grant you a fief."

Hearing this, a disappointed look appeared on Feng Xiyan’s handsome face. Smiling slightly, he shook his head and let out a sigh.

"Second Prince, you are disappointing this general."

The moment his words fell, Jin Cen’s expression sank.
