When he heard Bai Hanyun’s questions, Feng Xiyan’s heart filled with gratitude. He smiled and said, "Fairy Bai, could you give me a little time? I need to prepare a warehouse for them."
"Sure. Take your time." Bai Hanyun agreed without thinking.
With her permission, Feng Xiyan wrapped the mirror and stored it away. Standing beside him, Xue Ruhong and Zhan Qi exchanged glances.
Seeing Feng Xiyan preparing to leave, Zhan Qi quickly asked, "Great General, can we come with you?"
When he asked this, Feng Xiyan raised an eyebrow at him.
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Zhan Qi scratched his head and grinned. "This subordinate is curious about what good things Fairy Bai is sending to you this time."
Listening to what he said, Feng Xiyan looked at Zhan Qi for a moment, then turned to Xue Ruhong. Seeing that even the usually calm general looked eager, he was speechless.
After a brief moment of silence, Feng Xiyan finally said, "The Yuezhi Tribe shouldn’t attack us in the next few days. The soldiers guarding the wall are sufficient. You two can come with me."
"Thank you, Great General," Zhan Qi said, clasping his fists with excitement.
After instructing the soldiers to remain alert, Feng Xiyan returned to the barracks with Xue Ruhong and Zhan Qi.
When they arrived at the warehouse area, they saw Tan Pengtai speaking with Ding Zhenshun and Fan Wanming.
Approaching them, Feng Xiyan asked, "General Ding, General Fan, why are you two here?"
The three men turned and clasped their fists in greeting. "Great General."
Feng Xiyan looked at Ding Zhenshun and Fan Wanming and asked with a hint of worry in his voice, "How are your injuries?"
Sensing his worry, Ding Zhenshun and Fan Wanming replied, "Thank you for your concern, Great General. We have recovered,"
Feng Xiyan nodded and patted their shoulders. "I’m glad to hear that."
Feeling curious as to why Feng Xiyan came to the warehouse area at this time, Tan Pengtai asked, "Great General, why are you here? Do we need to send more supplies to the mansion?"
Feng Xiyan shook his head and explained, "Fairy Bai just informed me that she’s sending more supplies. She asked me to prepare a place to store them."
Hearing this, Tan Pengtai’s face lit up with excitement. "Great General, this subordinate has already prepared three more tents for storing the supplies. Please, come this way."
Feng Xiyan nodded and said, "Let’s go."
Unlike the old warehouses, which were just tents, Tan Pengtai had ordered his subordinates to build a large wooden warehouse near the military kitchen using planks gathered from broken and dilapidated houses around Xiqiang City.
Upon arriving at the new warehouse, Feng Xiyan said with admiration, "General Tan has worked hard. This warehouse is spacious and sturdy. It should be able to hold the supplies bestowed by Fairy Bai."
Tan Pengtai smiled and replied, "The Great General is too polite."
Now that they had enough space to store the supplies, Feng Xiyan took out the bronze mirror and unwrapped the red silk.
Placing the bronze mirror on the ground, he said, "Fairy Bai, we are ready to receive the supplies."
After waiting for more than twenty minutes, Bai Hanyun finally heard back from Feng Xiyan. She smiled and said, "Alright."
Bai Hanyun waited for Feng Xiyan to take a few steps back from the mirror before sending everything at once.
On the other side, the bronze mirror shone brightly, momentarily blinding Feng Xiyan and the generals. In the next instant, the sounds of bags and boxes falling to the ground echoed throughout the empty warehouse.
When the blinding light faded, Feng Xiyan opened his eyes and was shocked to find that the bags and boxes now filled more than half of the warehouse.
"Great General, with this many supplies, we won’t go hungry for at least two months!" Zhan Qi exclaimed excitedly.
Hearing this, Feng Xiyan snapped back to his senses. Clenching his hands tightly, he suppressed his turbulent emotions and walked over to pick up the bronze mirror from the ground.
Just as Bai Hanyun was about to say something to Feng Xiyan, the doorbell rang.
Hearing this, Bai Hanyun said quickly, "Feng Xiyan, I still have things to do. See you later."
Without waiting for Feng Xiyan’s reply, she tapped the antique mirror’s frame twice and went to open the door.
Sensing that Bai Hanyun had left, Feng Xiyan could only wrap the bronze mirror again with a trace of disappointment in his eyes.
Meanwhile, Xue Ruhong and the other generals were busy checking the supplies.
Noticing bags printed with a painting of a horse running across the grassland, Xue Ruhong grew curious. He looked at the words printed on the bags but couldn’t read them.
After thinking for a moment, he pulled the dagger from his wristband and opened one of the bags. The moment he saw the contents, he couldn’t hide his surprise.
Grabbing a handful of the horse feed, Xue Ruhong’s eyes gleamed with amazement. He turned to Feng Xiyan and excitedly said, "Great General, look at this!"
Feng Xiyan and the others were drawn by Xue Ruhong’s excited voice.
Walking over, Feng Xiyan asked, "General Xue, what’s wrong?"
Xue Ruhong showed the handful of horse feed to Feng Xiyan and the others. "It’s horse feed! Fairy Bai actually gave us horse feed! With this, we can save 500 war horses!"
For them, war horses are now more valuable than gold. With strong war horses, they can move flexibly in war, adjust their strategies at a fast speed, and break out when necessary.
The horse feed contained corn kernels, barley, oats, wheat bran, beans, molasses, hay, vegetables, and many other ingredients that Feng Xiyan and the generals had never seen before.
Looking at the plump grains mixed into the feed, Zhan Qi couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement, "The horses in Heaven eat better than humans!"
Drawn by the aroma of the feed, Zhan Qi couldn’t resist and grabbed a handful.
Seeing this, Xue Ruhong hurriedly said, "General Zhan, don’t—!"
