After saying that, Kai Mu then looked toward the women in the center of the tent and commanded, "Serve the Second Young Master carefully."
The women lowered their heads and replied softly, "This lowly servant obeys."
After saying that, they walked over and sat beside Wen Yirui. With their soft bodies pressed against him and their kisses landing on his skin, Wen Yirui quickly forgot his anger.
Delighted, he said, "Thank you, Supreme General, for this generous gift. This young master loves it very much."
Kai Mu chuckled and responded, "As long as Second Young Master Wen is pleased."
He then waved a hand and added, "This general still has matters to attend to. Let us continue our talk later."
Eager for an excuse to leave, Wen Yirui stood up and said, "Then this young master shall not disturb the Supreme General any further."
With that, he pulled one of the beauties close and kissed her before walking back to the tent prepared for him.
After Wen Yirui and his entourage left, Kai Mu furiously threw the bronze wine cup to the ground.
Seeing the spilled wine on the ground, one of the generals asked, "Supreme General, what should we do now?"
Kai Mu’s eyes darkened as he said, "Keep an eye on Wen Yirui. This general has no time to deal with him for now. Once we take over Xiqiang City, this general will personally cut off Wen Yirui’s head and send it back to Wen Kang."
Hearing this, the other generals exchanged eager glances.
After calming down, Kai Mu sneered and added coldly, "Since they dare to go back on their word, don’t blame this general for being ruthless."
After a moment of silence, he called out, "Someone, come."
Soon, a soldier stepped into the tent and bowed. "Supreme General, what are your instructions?"
Kai Mu looked at him and ordered, "Invite the military strategist."
"Yes, Supreme General." The soldier accepted the order and went off to find the military strategist.
Meanwhile, Bai Hanyun was still watching everything unfold through the antique mirror.
Wiping her hands with a wet tissue, she asked, "Hey, what is the reason you are showing me this?"
She waited for a while, but the antique mirror didn’t react. After pondering for a moment, she muttered, "Maybe I should tell Feng Xiyan about this."
With that in mind, she looked at the antique mirror and said, "I want to talk to Feng Xiyan."
The moment she said that, the antique mirror shone brightly for a second, and the image on its surface changed.
Seeing the familiar tent reflected on the antique mirror’s surface, Bai Hanyun asked, "Feng Xiyan, are you there?"
After waiting a bit, she tilted her head and muttered, "Is he not there?"
Just as she was about to end the connection, Feng Xiyan walked into the tent.
Seeing that the bronze mirror on the altar was shrouded in a dim golden light, he quickly walked over and asked, "Fairy Bai?"
Bai Hanyun nodded, then remembered he couldn’t see her and said, "It’s me. Feng Xiyan, I have something important to tell you."
Hearing this, Feng Xiyan’s expression turned serious. He clasped his fists and said, "Fairy Bai, please speak freely."
Looking at his handsome face, Bai Hanyun recounted what had just happened in the Yuezhi Tribe’s camp.
After listening to the entire story, Feng Xiyan said, "Thank you for telling me about this."
Seeing that he wasn’t surprised, Bai Hanyun asked, "You already knew about this?"
Feng Xiyan’s eyes briefly flickered with coldness when he heard her question.
After a few seconds of silence, he replied, "Nine years ago, my Feng clan was accused of treason and sentenced to execution of the nine generations by the previous emperor."
"After years of investigation, I found out that the one who schemed against my father was Prime Minister Wen and the current Empress Dowager."
"I have long known that Empress Dowager Wen and her elder brother, Prime Minister Wen, wanted to eliminate all the loyal families. Their first target was my Feng clan, since we held most of the military power in the Yu Empire."
"Since they failed to wipe out my Feng clan nine years ago, and stripped me of my command after the previous emperor died three years ago, it’s no surprise they would collude with the enemy to kill me and eradicate the Feng Army."
Bai Hanyun listened to his story and realized just how different their worlds were. She, who lives in a peaceful world, finds it difficult to understand the hardships Feng Xiyan had experienced.
Looking at Feng Xiyan’s cold eyes and expressionless face, Bai Hanyun suddenly felt a pang of sadness for him and the people from his world.
Touching her aching chest, she thought, ’My heart hurts again. I should probably get it checked when I visit Shang Du City tomorrow.’
Unaware of Bai Hanyun’s pity for him and her concerns for her own health, Feng Xiyan came out of his painful memories.
"I’m sorry you had to hear something like that, Fairy Bai." He said apologetically.
Snapping out of her thoughts, Bai Hanyun replied, "I’m sorry you had to go through all of that."
Feng Xiyan was stunned by her response. It was the first time someone had expressed sorrow for his past instead of pity.
Shaking his head, he replied, "It’s not your fault."
After that, both of them fell into silence.
Unable to bear the depressing atmosphere, Bai Hanyun asked, "Feng Xiyan, do you need anything? I think the Yuezhi Tribe might take action soon. You’d better make preparations before they attack the city."
Feng Xiyan nodded and replied, "Actually, Xiyan does have a request for Fairy Bai."
"What is it?" Bai Hanyun asked curiously.
Clasping his fists, Feng Xiyan said, "Fairy Bai, can you grant us some firewood and copper ore? We plan to forge more weapons and armor."
Hearing this, Bai Hanyun tilted her head slightly and asked, "Weren’t the weapons and armor I sent before enough?"
