My Antique Mirror Is A Portal To Another World-Chapter 26: Buying Weapons and Armors

When Bai Hanyun heard Feng Xiyan’s voice coming from the antique mirror, she breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly explained, "Those are fire extinguishers. I will teach you how to use them."

With that, she told Feng Xiyan to pick up a fire extinguisher and quickly explained how to operate it. Two minutes later, Feng Xiyan said, "Xiyan understood. Thank you, Fairy Bai."

From the antique mirror, Bai Hanyun could see that the sky outside the tent was glowing red. For the night sky to be illuminated like that, the fire consuming Xiqiang City must be very fierce.

Worried about the civilians and soldiers, Bai Hanyun urged, "Go quickly. We can talk later—deal with the fire first."

"Yes, Fairy Bai."

After Feng Xiyan and the soldiers left with the fire extinguishers, Bai Hanyun didn’t sit idly.

Feng Xiyan had told her that 200,000 troops of the Yuezhi Tribe were attacking Xiqiang City. With fewer than 20,000 soldiers able to fight, there was no way he could defend the city through force alone.

While pondering the situation, Bai Hanyun opened her phone and muttered anxiously, "To win against 200,000 troops with just 20,000 men... Feng Xiyan doesn’t just need weapons—he needs a miracle. But what can I do to help him survive this battle?"

As she scrolled through an online shopping platform, her finger paused on a store selling movie props. She clicked on the store and checked the displayed items on the store.

Seeing spears, swords, arrows, bows, shortbows, and armor for sale, Bai Hanyun’s eyes lit up. "This is it!"

Without wasting a second, she clicked on the arrow listing for sale. When she saw they were made from high carbon steel, her eyes lit up even more.

She wasn’t an expert on weapons, but it was common knowledge that high carbon steel was the gold standard for forging swords, blades, and arrows due to its strength, edge retention, and durability.

The store currently only has 15,000 arrows in stock. Bai Hanyun quickly searched for the store owner’s contact information and called the listed number.

After a few rings, a man’s voice answered, "Hello? Who am I speaking with?"

"Hello, sorry to call so late. My name is Bai Hanyun. I found your store on the Da Bao shopping platform and would like to purchase some of your products," she explained.

"What are you looking to buy?" he asked.

Bai Hanyun scrolled through the store page and replied, "I want to order 500,000 arrows, 20,000 swords, 20,000 full sets of body armor, 3,000 bows, and 3,000 crossbows. All made from high carbon steel."

The moment the store owner heard the quantity, his sleepiness vanished.

After struggling for more than five years to keep his store afloat, he had finally decided to close it due to a lack of capital and profit. Just as he was stressing about clearing his remaining stock, a call came from an unknown number with a huge order.

Coming back to his senses, he asked skeptically, "Miss, are you sure you want to buy that much? It won’t be cheap, especially with everything made from high carbon steel."

Bai Hanyun still had more than 700 million yuan in her bank account, so she replied decisively, "Yes. I want them delivered tonight. Money isn’t a problem."

Hearing that, the store owner hesitated for a moment before saying, "I don’t have that much stock on hand. If you need them urgently, I can send what I have now and deliver the rest later."

Bai Hanyun was anxious to help Feng Xiyan. Thinking that even a partial shipment could make a difference, she agreed.

"Alright. How much for the available stock?"

The store owner quickly calculated and replied, "Arrows are 100 yuan each. I have 50,000 in stock—so that’s 5 million. For swords, I have 2,000 at 1,100 yuan each, but I will give them to you for 1,000 since you are buying all available stock, totaling 2 million."

"For full-body armor, I only have 500 sets. They are 10,000 yuan each, so that’s 5 million. Bows and crossbows are 1,500 yuan each. I have 1,200 bows and 800 crossbows, totaling 3 million."

He paused for a second, then said, "So the total comes to 15 million yuan."

Bai Hanyun was surprised by the price, but she gritted her teeth and said, "I will pay 1 million as a down payment and the rest after I receive the goods."

The store owner’s eyes lit up at her words, and he replied, "Alright! Please send me the address, and I will ship the goods right away."

After giving him her address, they exchanged contact details. Bai Hanyun then transferred 1 million yuan to his WeChat account.

"The goods will arrive in half an hour," the store owner said.

"Good. Please hurry up." Bai Hanyun reminded him again before ending the call.

While Bai Hanyun anxiously waited for the weapons, Feng Xiyan and the soldiers arrived in the western district of Xiqiang City.

Seeing the roaring fire swallowing the buildings, Feng Xiyan said to the soldiers, "I will show you how to use the fire extinguishers. Watch carefully."

The soldiers responded in unison, "Yes, Great General!"

Feng Xiyan then demonstrated how to use a fire extinguisher to them and asked, "Any questions?"

The soldiers shook their heads. "None, Great General!"

Feng Xiyan nodded and ordered, "Good. Divide into teams of four and start putting out the fire!"

"Yes, Great General!"

The fire extinguishers were simple to use, so the soldiers quickly got the hang of them. With each team tackling a different area, most of the fire in Xiqiang City was extinguished in no time.

Seeing that only a small area was still burning, Feng Xiyan said, "Once the fire is out, bring the empty cylinders back to camp."

"Yes, Great General!"

After issuing the order, Feng Xiyan mounted his warhorse and rushed to the city wall. At the same time, a large container truck was parked in front of Bai Hanyun’s house.
