Chapter 563 Li Suining is so abominable
Who knew that Zi Yunlai just chuckled and returned the so-called oracle to Fuxing.
"If Miss Fuxing likes this thing, just give it to her." He looked at Wei Changkong indifferently, "General Wei, you don't believe in any oracles, do you? What good will it do to you if you get this thing? Can you steal my Zi family's Dongchu?"
Wei Changkong was sweating profusely. He quickly knelt down and followed Zi Yunlai's words, saying, "Your Majesty is wise. Your Majesty is right. This so-called oracle is nothing but a boring folk legend. Who can take it seriously? It's just a joke, just a joke."
"I'm glad that the General understands." Zi Yunlai nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, "Now we just have to wait for Princess Suining to see what this little girl will choose."
Wei Changkong also breathed a sigh of relief and said in a relaxed tone, "I do have a few things that children like, a small jade fish pendant, and a few pearls from the East China Sea. Let's see which one the little princess will choose."
Bai Yu'an lowered his head. He believed that soon Wei Changkong would not be able to laugh anymore.
"Second brother, second brother, I have made my choice." Finally, Li Suining came back running, holding a very ordinary wooden box in her arms, which didn't look like anything special.
After seeing it clearly, Wei Changkong was so shocked that he immediately ran forward and wanted to snatch the thing back, but Bai Yu'an got there first and took the box away.
Bai Yu'an held the box tightly, and said with a smile, "It seems that our Princess Suining really picked out a treasure, which made the general so nervous."
Wei Changkong's face turned pale. He swallowed hard before speaking nervously, "This is not a treasure, and it's not suitable for children to play with. Just give it back to this general."
"General, what are you afraid of? After all, this thing was chosen by Princess Sui Ning for me. It doesn't have to be suitable for her to play with." Bai Yu'an said with a smile.
"But..." Wei Changkong's eyes were fixed on the box. It was obvious that he really wanted what was in the box.
He couldn't understand why Li Suining chose such an ordinary-looking child among such beautiful and fancy things. It was really abominable.
"Forget it, General, please don't be so stingy and break your promise." Zi Yunlai looked at Bai Yu'an, "National Master, open the box. I want to see what treasure it is that the great general of Dong Chu is so reluctant to take out."
"Yes, Lord Emperor Chu, I will open it right away." Bai Yu'an quickly opened the box.
There was a mask as thin as a cicada's wing lying in the box, which looked a little weird.
Bai Yu'an took out the mask and handed it to Zi Yunlai with both hands. "Lord Chu Huang, do you recognize this thing?"
He deliberately looked at the pale-faced Wei Changkong standing beside him, "Or perhaps General Wei could be so kind as to tell us what this thing is?"
Zi Yunlai took out the mask, looked at it repeatedly in his hands, looking thoughtful.
"I know." Zi Tong beside him suddenly screamed in surprise, "This is the Thousand Faces Emperor."
When Wei Changkong saw that someone recognized this thing, he was almost dumbfounded. He sat there slumped, not wanting to say a word.
"The Thousand Faces Emperor?" Bai Yu'an repeated in great confusion.
In fact, the things that Li Suining and Fuxing chose today were all things that Li Suining had seen Wei Changkong hide in person in advance, so they knew that they must be treasures, but they had no idea what kind of treasures they were.
Dongchu is a vast country with a vast territory. There are also many strange ethnic groups and people in it. They can research things that ordinary people cannot understand.
At this time, Zi Tong continued, "The Thousand Faces Emperor is a particularly magical mask. It is said that there was once an emperor who unified the entire continent with this mask. Don't underestimate it."
As he spoke, he put the mask directly on his face. Then, he adjusted it a few times with his hands. When everyone looked at it carefully, they were all dumbfounded.
Especially Li Suining, she even ran to Zi Tong to take a closer look, then ran to Wei Changkong to take a closer look, and then announced in a baby voice.
"This is the real General Wei, because the way he looks at me now... he wants to eat me."
"And that person who looks exactly like General Wei... is Brother Zitong. It's amazing. How did Brother Zitong do that?"
Soon, Zi Tong took off his mask, revealing his original appearance.
Bai Yu'an suddenly understood, "Thousand Faces Emperor, it means that as long as you wear this mask, you can disguise yourself as anyone. This is incredible."
"Indeed, I've only heard of such things, but I never expected to see them with my own eyes in General Wei's secret room. I'm truly honored by the General. This has truly broadened my horizons."
When Ziyun came, there was obviously something else behind his words.
"I'm terrified. These are all other people's relics. I only benefited from them, but..."
Wei Changkong glanced at the mask with reluctance. "I never thought this Thousand Faces Emperor would be so miraculous. Forgive me for being so bold, but I'd better not let this thing fall into the hands of others. The Imperial Master wouldn't steal someone else's beauty, would he? Please present it to my Emperor."
"General Wei's words are reasonable. I really don't dare to accept such a magical thing." Bai Yu'an clasped his fists and said, "I will offer this thing to the Emperor of Chu."
"No." Zi Yunlai shook his head and put the mask back into the box. "I am very touched that the Imperial Master has this intention. However, the General must keep his promise, and I must keep it even more. Otherwise, how can I set an example for millions of Dongchu people? Take this Thousand Faces Imperial Master back."
"Your Majesty!" Wei Changkong couldn't help but get anxious. "This is a matter of great importance. You just heard from the Crown Prince that if this thing were taken by someone with ulterior motives, it would pose a great threat to Dongchu. Your Majesty, please reconsider."
Zi Yunlai frowned, "General Wei, people with aspirations can never be influenced by a mask. What really controls them is..."
He pointed to his heart and said, "It represents the deepest desires and ambitions in a person's heart. I trust the Imperial Master's character. There is no need to discuss this matter any further. Thousand Faces Emperor, Imperial Master, take it!"
In fact, Zi Yunlai had no intention of giving the Thousand Faces Emperor to Bai Yu'an at first, but he did not expect Bai Yu'an to be so frank and wanted to give it to him directly. On second thought, they needed to cooperate with Bai Yu'an, and it might be more useful for Bai Yu'an to get this mask.
Therefore, Zi Yunlai decided to give the Thousand Faces Emperor to Bai Yu'an.
"Thank you, Your Majesty the King of Chu. This will be one of the most unforgettable gifts I have received during my trip to Dongchu." Bai Yu'an accepted it with pleasure.
The captain was going crazy with anger.
