My Antique Mirror Is A Portal To Another World - Chapter 459

Chapter 459: Departure
Lowering his voice, He Xuanren leaned forward and whispered, “I overheard the servants of the Great General’s mansion while moving the goods. This young lady is actually Great General Feng’s fiancée!”

Madam He gasped at this shocking news. “Is that true? I have heard that the Great General Feng has a fiancée, but I thought it was just rumors.”

“Mother,” He Jingtai looked at Madam He and said confidently, “the Great General Feng’s servants are known for their loyalty and tight lips. If they dared to speak of it, it should be true.”

When Madam He turned to her husband for affirmation, He Xuanren nodded as well.

Clenching her hands, Madam He thoughtfully said, “If this information is true, then this is our chance to establish ourselves here.”

Grabbing He Xuanren’s hand, she added seriously, “Husband, you must seize this opportunity. The future of the He Clan will depend on this young lady.”

“I know,” He Xuanren replied, though a faint frown appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Madam He’s excitement faded slightly. “Husband, are you worried about the goods?”

He Xuanren nodded. “We only brought a limited amount of goods, while the rest were still left in the imperial capital city. What will we do once everything is sold?”

“This isn’t a long-term plan. We must find a way to procure more high-quality goods if we want a stable future and establish ourselves here.”

Listening to his parents’ conversation, He Jingtai fell deep into thought.

After a long silence, he suddenly said, “Father, I heard that among the twelve tribes, the Rong Tribe excels at trade. They are known as the wealthiest tribe and control most of the western trading routes.”

“Also, ten of the twelve tribes have already sworn allegiance to Great General Feng. If we can build a trading relationship with the Rong Tribe, it would indirectly connect us to the Great General’s network.”

“Furthermore, if we can also establish a long-term business with the young lady from the Great General’s mansion, we will be able to secure our position in the western region. With both the Rong Tribe and the young lady as our business partners, it won’t be long before the He Clan regains its former glory.”

After listening to his analysis, both He Xuanren and Madam He looked at He Jingtai in surprise, pride, and delight.

Patting his son’s shoulder, He Xuanren said proudly, “Jingtai, you have grown up. With you as my heir, the He Clan will have a bright future.”

Madam He nodded in agreement and smiled at her son with affection.

Receiving his father’s praise, He Jingtai’s expression brightened. “Father, this is all thanks to your guidance.”

He Xuanren smiled and continued, “Your idea is excellent. Since you have already gathered this information, I will let you handle the Rong Tribe. Tomorrow, we will first establish a long-term contract with that young lady, then visit the Rong Tribe.”

“Yes, Father.”

Just as they finished their discussion, someone knocked on the door.

Madam He stopped He Jingtai and stood up. “I will go take a look.”

While she went to open the door, He Xuanren and He Jingtai continued discussing their plans in detail. Before long, Madam He returned with the other male and female members of the He Clan.

Seeing their tired and disappointed expressions, He Xuanren looked at his wife and said, “Wife, please prepare the meal.”

“Mhm, I will go prepare it right away.” Looking at the exhausted family members, she added, “You all should rest for a bit.”

“Thank you, sister-in-law.”

While He Xuanren and the members of the He Clan were planning their future, Hua Yuyu and his friends were being surrounded by the Feng Clan’s shadow guards.

In front of a dilapidated temple, Hua Yuyu calmly faced the crowd standing before him and his team.

Standing by a military armored car, Hua Yuyu said helplessly, “Brother Feng Er, it’s not that we don’t want to share our knowledge or stay longer, but we really need to find Miss Bai as soon as possible.”

Noticing his worries, Feng Er patted Hua Yuyu’s shoulder. “With my Master staying with Fairy Bai, there is nobody who could harm her. Since you and your brothers are already here, why don’t you stay a bit longer, Brother Hua?”

Lowering his eyes, Hua Yuyu frowned slightly and thought, ‘Although I want to stay here and gather more information about this world, Miss Bai’s safety is still unclear. I can’t feel at ease without making sure she was alright.’

Hua Yuyu shook his head and politely declined Feng Er’s invitation. “Thank you for your hospitality, but I need to go now. After confirming that Miss Bai is alright, I will come back to visit you.”

After saying that, Hua Yuyu opened the car door.

Before he could get into the driver’s seat, Feng Er stopped him. “Brother Hua, this heavenly artifact of yours is indeed very fast, but it’s far too conspicuous. It’s better for you to use a horse carriage instead of this heavenly artifact.”

Although Hua Yuyu was in a hurry, he knew it was unwise to drive a car in this world. Without enough knowledge or information about the place, they would be at a disadvantage once someone with bad intentions set their sights on them.

After thinking it over, Hua Yuyu nodded. “Thank you for the reminder, Brother Feng Er. Then I will trouble you to prepare the horse carriage.”

Receiving his agreement, Feng Er ordered, “Prepare three horse carriages and enough supplies for Brother Hua and the others.”

“Wait. Please just prepare the horse carriages. We have enough supplies to last us until Xiqiang City,” Hua Yuyu said before the shadow guard could take a step.

Hearing this, the shadow guard looked at Feng Er. Seeing him nod, the shadow guard clasped his fists and said, “This subordinate will prepare the horse carriages immediately.”

While they were waiting, Hua Yuyu took out a small metal box from his Qiankun Pouch.
