My Antique Mirror Is A Portal To Another World
Chapter 759: Bai Hanyun’s Anger
The Protector General nodded, then replied to the Crown Prince’s question, "This subject has verified the truth of the rumor by visiting the sacred temple and confirming the identity of Great General Feng’s fiancée."
He paused, took a deep breath, then added heavily, "This Miss Bai is the same person as the famous Goddess, Fairy Bai. The golden statue enshrined in the temple looks identical to her."
The moment his words fell, gasps filled the room.
The Crown Prince’s hand, which was clenching the teacup, trembled slightly. His expression was filled with disbelief and fear, then gradually changed into resignation.
He closed his eyes, and his fingers slowly loosened around the teacup.
After a long moment of silence, he finally spoke, "It’s over. There is no way for us to keep the Liang Empire anymore. With the Goddess and Heaven on his side, the Feng Army will be undefeated in this world."
Hearing this, the Protector General and the envoys looked at him with sadness.
Now that he had accepted this fact, the Crown Prince regained his usual calmness.
Looking at his subjects, he calmly ordered, "Send a letter to the Great General’s Mansion. This prince wants to pay his respects to Fairy Bai."
When his words fell, the Protector General and the envoys stood up, clasped their fists, and replied respectfully, "Yes, Your Highness."
While the Crown Prince of the Liang Empire changed his plans, the other envoys also learned of the rumors circulating in Xiqiang City and Bai Hanyun’s identity as Fairy Bai.
In the next few days, the Great General’s Mansion received countless visiting cards.
After three days of receiving countless visiting cards and visitors, Bai Hanyun couldn’t endure it any longer. Early in the morning of the fourth day, she got up and rushed to find Feng Xiyan in the Feng Army’s barracks.
When the soldiers guarding the barracks’ entrance saw her coming down from the horse carriage in a dark expression, they exchanged glances.
Seeing Bai Hanyun rushing in, they clasped their fists and quickly greeted her, "This subordinate greets Fairy Bai."
Unlike her usual politeness, Bai Hanyun didn’t even glance at them or respond to their greetings.
Looking at her back disappearing into the distance, the two soldiers shook their heads with pity clear in their eyes. Clasping their hands in prayer, they silently lit a candle for their Great General in their hearts.
’Great General, may you get through this ordeal safely.’
Along the way, the soldiers greeted Bai Hanyun, but when they saw her angry face, they hurriedly stepped aside to let her pass.
By the time Bai Hanyun reached the commander’s tent, the news that Fairy Bai was angry at the Great General had already spread throughout the Feng Army’s barracks.
Hiding around the commander’s tent, the generals, high-ranking officers, and soldiers watched the spectacle with great interest.
Hiding behind a nearby tent, Zhan Qi cracked a sunflower seed and gleefully said, "Tsk tsk tsk. Look at how angry Fairy Bai is. I wonder how the Great General made her angry."
Glancing at him, Xue Ruhong grabbed the sunflower seeds from Zhan Qi’s palm, cracked one, then replied, "I bet it’s because of those envoys."
Hearing this, Zhan Qi, Fan Wanming, Ding Zhenshun, and Tan Pengtai grew curious.
Leaning closer to Xue Ruhong, Zhan Qi asked, "General Xue, do you know something we don’t?"
Xue Ruhong smiled and shared the gossip, "This general heard that those envoys have been visiting the Great General’s Mansion these past few days from dawn to midnight. I bet Fairy Bai’s anger is because they disturbed her."
When the other generals heard this, realization flashed across their eyes.
Zhan Qi gave Xue Ruhong a thumbs-up. "General Xue, it’s indeed you. Your information is as fast as ever."
Xue Ruhong cracked another sunflower seed, then said humbly, "No, no. You are overpraising me, General Zhan. You are the one with a vast information connection."
Seeing the usually bickering duo suddenly praising each other, Tan Pengtai felt a little uncomfortable. He shook his head helplessly, then focused his attention on the commander’s tent in the distance.
While the generals were waiting for the development of the gossip, inside the commander’s tent, Feng Xiyan was looking at Bai Hanyun’s dark expression.
He swallowed hard, then slowly put down his writing brush and carefully asked, "Y-Yun’er, why are you looking at me like that? Did I do something wrong?"
Bai Hanyun glared at him, then asked, "Xiyan, can’t you do something about those people?"
Hearing what she said, Feng Xiyan scratched his cheek in confusion, but he didn’t dare to ask. His intuition told him that if he dared to ask who those people were, Bai Hanyun would instantly flip the table and go on a rampage.
Looking at Bai Hanyun’s angry and annoyed face, Feng Xiyan tried his best to deduce who she was referring to.
After a brief moment of thought, he hesitantly asked, "You mean those envoys?"
Bai Hanyun slammed the table, startling Feng Xiyan, then snapped, "Who else besides them?!"
She paced back and forth around the tent in anger, then suddenly turned to look at Feng Xiyan and complained.
"They knock on the door from sunrise until midnight. Won’t they let people sleep now?!"
Taking a deep breath, she gritted her teeth and continued, "Not only that! Whenever I go out, they pretend it’s a coincidence and block me for hours!"
Bai Hanyun almost ground her teeth to dust when she recalled those annoying people.
She slammed the table again, then added, "Because of them, I can’t even go out now! How can I find something to sell later if I can’t even go to the market?!"
Feng Xiyan took her hands, then gently blew on her reddened palms. He sighed in heartache and said, "Yun’er, calm down."
When Bai Hanyun saw his concerned expression as he rubbed her palms, her anger dissipated in an instant like a deflated balloon.
She walked around the table, sat on Feng Xiyan’s lap, then hugged his neck.
