Chapter 564: What is in the secret room within the secret room?
After Zi Yunlai and his men left in a mighty manner, Wei Changkong immediately ordered someone to tie up Zuo Jiali.
"You bastard!" He kicked Zuo Jiali to the ground. "It was all your good idea that caused this general to lose the Thousand Faces Emperor..."
When he thought of the Thousand Faces Emperor, he even hated him so much that he wanted to kill him. That was his last trump card. If other methods didn't work, he didn't mind becoming the emperor as a member of the Zi family.
But now, the Thousand Faces Emperor has been taken away by them.
Wei Changkong grew angrier and angrier as he thought about it. He drew the sword of the guard next to him and pointed it at Zuo Jiali's chest. "Tell me the truth, General. Did you do this on purpose? Are you in cahoots with them?"
Otherwise, he really couldn't imagine how this obviously good plan could fail miserably.
"I wouldn't dare!" Zuo Jiali gritted his teeth. "But in this matter... I admit that I lost. I can only say... they were just too lucky."
Wei Changkong gritted his teeth. At this moment, he really had to admit that those damn guys were really lucky.
"God," he turned and pointed his sword at the sky, "You never stand on my side. Very good, sooner or later I will prove to you who is the real King of Chu!"
Upon seeing this, Zuo Jiali immediately lay on the ground and said in agreement, "I believe this day will come soon!"
"Hmph!" Wei Changkong threw his sword to the ground. "You better take care of yourself. If you cause me any harm again next time, I'll hold your head high and admit my mistake! Hurry up and get back here and find a solution! I'm going to make sure these people from Dajin die!"
"Yes! I obey your command!" Zuo Jiali was still tied up and didn't dare to say anything. He stood up with difficulty and left in small steps.

On the other side, Zi Yunlai and others returned to the palace. After sending their attendants away, Zi Tong immediately jumped up excitedly.
"Oh my god, today is so satisfying! That thief Wei Changkong's expression is so wonderful! It really makes me happy, hahaha..."
Zi Yunlai shook his head helplessly, "He's still a child, but..."
He couldn't help but cover his mouth and smiled, "Indeed, I haven't felt this happy in front of Wei Changkong in a long time. Today... it's all thanks to you."
"Your Excellency the Emperor of Chu is too kind. Without you and the Crown Prince here today, we wouldn't be able to gain much benefit."
Bai Yu'an spoke modestly, and then he immediately said, "I have a request. Can you take my sister out for a while?"
"What for?" Zi Tong asked in confusion.
Bai Yu'an did not answer immediately, but continued to look at Zi Yunlai, waiting for Zi Yunlai to agree.
"Of course, you guys go ahead." Zi Yunlai nodded. Although he was curious, he felt that Bai Yu'an seemed very anxious, so he didn't ask any more questions.
Bai Yu'an immediately took the little girl away.
Even Fuxing still stayed in the hall.
Zi Yunlai and Zi Tong looked at each other in confusion. Zi Tong couldn't help but mutter, "What the hell is Bai Yu'an doing?"
Fuxing had a vague guess, but he kept his head down and said nothing.
Bai Yu'an brought Li Suining outside the hall, where the sky was already full of stars.
He lowered his voice and told Li Suining, "After we leave, Wei Changkong will definitely go to the secret room inside the secret room to take a look. You should immediately ask Xingxing what is in there."
"Okay!" Little Dumpling immediately followed what her second brother said and asked Xingxing. Sure enough, she soon saw the answer.
"There are some simple things in that secret room, and a set of armor hanging there."
"Armor?" Bai Yu'an didn't quite understand. Could this armor be more important than Wei Changkong's life? Why?
Soon, Li Suining exclaimed, "Wow, this armor is very special."
"What's so special about it?" Bai Yu'an's heart suddenly rose to his throat.
Li Suining retracted his gaze and looked at Bai Yu'an, "Second brother, the inside of that great general's armor... is the same as the clothes of the King of Chu."
Bai Yu'an took a moment to react before he understood what Xiaotuanzi meant. "You mean... there's a dragon robe sewn inside the armor?"
The little dumpling nodded.
"No wonder, no wonder!" Bai Yu'an chuckled, "No wonder Wei Changkong didn't dare let us in to see, he's really bold!"
Then, he reminded Li Suining, "Sister, remember, what you just saw, you can't easily tell anyone else, including Crown Prince Zitong and the King of Chu. Do you understand?"
"I understand, second brother." Li Suining nodded obediently.
After the brother and sister returned to the main hall, Bai Yu'an made up a lie. Zi Yunlai and Zi Tong knew that he was lying, but they did not expose him.
Soon, they returned to Yunzhao Pavilion and told Yuan Xiaonian everything.
Yuan Xiaonian was very interested in the Thousand-Faced Emperor. He played with it in his hands for a long time. He even put it on himself and turned into Bai Yu'an's appearance, and then into Yuan Huaihong's appearance.
Bai Yu'an and Fuxing were slightly frightened when they saw this.
Yuan Xiaonian quickly took off the mask and returned it to Bai Yu'an. "Don't worry, a gentleman doesn't take away someone else's beauty, and neither will this prince. However, you have to hide this thing well. This prince really likes it, and he might steal it one day."
Bai Yu'an curled his lips and said, "If the Second Prince likes it, then take it. It's useless for me to keep it anyway."
"No, that won't work. If I accept it now, everyone will know that I have it. If something happens, they will suspect me. The gain will outweigh the loss. If I want it, I have to take it secretly."
Yuan Xiaonian raised his eyebrows.
"Then I will wait for the second prince to come and steal it." Bai Yu'an smiled and put the thing in his arms.
"Oh right, inside that secret room," he said with certainty, "there must be evidence of Wei Changkong's rebellion. That's why he wouldn't hesitate to offend the Emperor of Chu and not let us in."
Yuan Xiaonian nodded in agreement, "But...it won't be easy for us to get in again."
"Indeed, I have also observed along the way today that the general's mansion is heavily guarded, and the secret room is even more so. If it weren't for the special circumstances today, we would never have been able to get close to the secret room." Bai Yu'an said firmly.
"But this time, Wei Changkong has suffered such a huge loss, he will definitely not give up. Just wait, he will make another move soon."
Yuan Xiaonian looked at Bai Yu'an and Fuxing meaningfully, "My Great Jin has two lucky generals like you. We can get whatever we want, and even get these two treasures. What else do we have to be afraid of?"
It really rained tonight, which was obviously beyond Yuan Xiaonian's expectations.
During the time when Bai Yu'an, Fuxing and Li Suining were away, he discussed with Xiao Jingwen that too many dangers along the way were discovered by Bai Yu'an and others, which could only be said to be too much of a coincidence.
Even Yuan Xiaonian couldn't help but wonder whether Fuxing could really observe the stars and see the future.
Bai Yu'an lowered his head and said calmly, "Second Prince, you are too kind. It was just luck."
