My Antique Mirror Is A Portal To Another World

After listening to the report, Feng Yi ordered, "Got it. Have the brothers keep their eyes on the Jin Army's camp."

"Yes, Commander." The shadow guard nodded and disappeared.

After the shadow guard left, Feng Yi returned to the Feng Army's barracks. Appearing beside Feng Xiyan's bed, he knelt and called out, "Master."

Opening his eyes, Feng Xiyan sat up and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Master, we just received a report. Sun Heng is leading 100,000 soldiers and marching toward us. They will arrive in half a sichen."

Listening to Feng Yi's report, Feng Xiyan said calmly, "Looks like they couldn't sit still any longer."

Looking at his master's calm face, Feng Yi asked, "Master, what are your instructions?"

Feng Xiyan pondered briefly before replying, "I will handle this matter. Let the others stay in their position and stay hidden."

Nodding, Feng Yi responded, "Yes, Master."

The instant his voice fell, Feng Yi disappeared from there.

Rising from the bed, Feng Xiyan put on his clothes and black armor, then took up his black sword from the weapon rack and headed to the northern city wall.

An hour later, Sun Heng and his troops arrived outside the northern city wall of Xiqiang City.

Seeing Feng Xiyan and Xue Ruhong standing on top of the wall, he frowned slightly and thought, 'How could they know about our arrival ahead of time? Is there a mole inside the army?'

While Sun Heng was still searching for the answer, Feng Xiyan calmly said, "State your name and your purpose for coming here."

Hearing this, Sun Heng snapped out of his thoughts and replied, "This general's name is Sun Heng, the supreme commander of the Jin Army."

"Feng Xiyan, if you know what's good for you and the Feng Army, this general commands you to release His Highness the Second Prince, the Seventh Princess, General Zheng Dong, and the Imperial Teacher Shi right now!"

When his words fell, Xue Ruhong said, "Great General, he is one of the three remaining generals of the Ji Army. Besides him, the other two are Ou Xuanyou and Ye Junlin. The three of them are the first-rank generals of the Jin Empire."

After listening to Xue Ruhong's explanation, Feng Xiyan's eyes flickered with interest as he said, "This general seems dim-witted. How could someone like him be appointed as supreme general?"

Xue Ruhong pondered for a second and replied, "Based on our investigation, he is the oldest among the three generals. He should be the most experienced one."

Seeing that Feng Xiyan was ignoring him and was busy talking with Xue Ruhong, Sun Heng became angry.

Pointing at Feng Xiyan, he shouted, "Feng Xiyan! How dare you ignore this general! Do you think this general doesn't dare to attack you?!"

Looking at Sun Heng's red face, Feng Xiyan said in a low voice, "This general thinks that this Sun Heng is just a knife."

When he said this, Xue Ruhong asked, "Great General, you mean he is being used by someone else?"

Feng Xiyan nodded, and then the corner of his lips curved up slightly. "Looks like there's an internal struggle inside the Jin Army."

After saying that, Feng Xiyan turned his attention back to Sun Heng. With a slight smile on his lips, he raised his hand.

In the next second, the archers raised their bows and aimed at Sun Heng.

Looking at the large bows, Sun Heng laughed and said, "Feng Xiyan, this general heard that your Feng Army possesses heavenly weapons. Initially, this general wanted to open his eyes and see them for himself."

"But seeing them now, those so-called heavenly weapons are just bigger in size. What use are they if you can't even pull the string? Ha ha ha!"

When Sun Heng laughed, the vice generals also laughed along with him.

Listening to their laughter echoing in the silent night, Feng Xiyan calmly said, "General Sun, since you want to open your eyes today, then this general will fulfill your request."

After he said that, Xue Ruhong ordered, "Archers, get ready!"

Following his order, the archers loaded their arrows. Pulling the strings of their bows, they raised their Qin Nu and aimed at the Jin Army's soldiers.

Standing beside Feng Xiyan, Xue Ruhong said, "Great General, this Sun Heng comes at the right time. Thanks to him, we can test the power of the Qin Nu directly on the battlefield."

Feng Xiyan glanced at him and asked, "How is the production of Qin Nu and Mo Dao going?"

Xue Ruhong replied, "These 100 Qin Nu are the first batch, completed just last night, and the blacksmiths are already working on the second batch. As for the Mo Dao, the blacksmiths just finished the second batch as well. Currently, we have 500 Mo Dao ready."

Feng Xiyan nodded in satisfaction at his report and said, "Inform General Tan to hand over the 500 Mo Dao to General Fan. Tell General Fan to distribute the Mo Dao to the elite soldiers and form a small Mo Dao team to fight against cavalry."

Nodding, Xue Ruhong replied, "Yes, Great General."

While they calmly discussed the distribution of Mo Dao and Qin Nu, Sun Heng finally stopped laughing.

Raising his chin, he said, "Feng Xiyan, this general will give you the time it takes to drink a cup of tea to release His Highness the Second Prince, the Seventh Princess, General Zheng Dong, and the Imperial Teacher Shi."

Sneering, he added, "If they are not released when the time is up, this general will flatten your Xiqiang City!"

Hearing this, Feng Xiyan said, "General Xue, bring Zheng Dong."

Clasping his fists, Xue Ruhong replied, "Yes, Great General. This subordinate will go immediately."

Leaving the city wall, Xue Ruhong personally went to the underground prison to fetch Zheng Dong.

Before long, he returned with Zheng Dong.

Pushing Zheng Dong to kneel before Feng Xiyan, Xue Ruhong said, "Great General, he is here."

Raising his eyes, Zheng Dong looked at Feng Xiyan and weakly said, "Feng Xiyan, I won't betray the Seventh Princess. It's useless for you to torture me. I'd rather die than tell you where she is."
