So Called Disappearance

“Wangye, you previously had let us pay attention to Su Ming Zhang’s whereabout. Right now, it has already been confirmed.” When all the preparation was in order, able to carry out the last part of the plan at any time, Fu Yun Ting brought news of someone that was almost forgotten.

A moment later, Li Hong Yuan finally responded, “Saw the person?”

“Yes.” Towards Jin Qinwang’s cold attitude, Fu Yun Ting was long used to already. If one day Li Hong Yuan were to be friendly and amiable towards him, he would truly be on edge. That’s why, regardless of how long this master ignores him, he is all able to deferentially stand there without carrying the slightest negative emotion. “Su Ming Zhang, using the alias Su Bu Fu, even his physique all somewhat changed compared to the past, his face carrying a scar, his facial features having slight changes too. His skin tone is also much darker, appearing just like as if of ordinary birth, but pretty smart, recognizing a few common words, but not that well-learned.”

To put it bluntly, if Su Ming Zhang was someone whose self-cultivation and bearing were all extremely elegant, then Su Bu Fu was just an astute and ambitious crude man. If not for Li Hong Yuan ordering someone to deliver the information in advance, letting Fu Yun Ting pay attention, he definitely wouldn’t have had these two people that were worlds apart linked together.

Because he had the reminder, he thus would go pay attention, and because he deliberately paid attention, he thus was able to discover some things that was ultimately unable to be erased. However, while carrying a cautious attitude, Fu Yun Ting still spent some time to go confirm the other party’s identity. After all, if wrong, when time comes, afraid he will suffer the consequences.

“Since he has already appeared before you, then presumably has shown off quite the talent, and at the same time, must have military achievements at hand. As such, we should just help him a bit more, letting him earn some more achievements. At least, prior to withdrawing the troops and returning to the capital, need to let him become someone eye-catching.” Since he wants to climb up again in the quickest speed, Jin Qinwang expressed, he will help grant his wish.

“Yes.” Fu Yun Ting responded.

Fu Yun Ting inwardly lit a small candle for Su Ming Zhang. For a criminal exiled to the borders, forever not allowed to return to the capital, if sent to the northwest as punishment, then perhaps can even say it was a ‘predestined fate’, and can even rely on contributions to absolve one’s crimes. Perhaps, one can even legitimately climb up again.

However, the reality was nevertheless the opposite. As a criminal, if one were to change one’s identity and actively plot, then no matter how many contributions, it was all useless.

Moreover, the northwest right now can be said to be all in Fu Yun Ting’s grasp. Regardless of whether or not Su Ming Zhang’s military achievements were real, when time comes, he can all turn them into fake for him. For example, say that he was falsely claiming the contributions as his own, for the sake of gaining military achievement completely unscrupulous and so on. Moreover, it was even quite convincing. After all, Su Ming Zhang was once just a scholar, lacking the strength, not having studied military tactics before, not having read military books before, so how did he just change completely in this short of time? To say there wasn’t anything suspicious, who would believe?

However, Fu Yun Ting right now didn’t have that much spare energy to sympathize with others. For him to be able to preserve his own wellbeing was already not bad. Although his injury has already healed, but every time seeing Jin Qinwang, he would still ache from his bones. It was true pain, and not the so called misconception and whatnot. But after leaving Jin Qinwang’s line of sight, no longer under the same roof, he was perfectly fine again. As for the reason behind this, even he himself didn’t know, and it wasn’t worth telling others.

Therefore, producing illusionary pain because of psychological factors and whatnot, if Jing Wan were to know, she probably will be speechless again.

Of course, Su Ming Zhang’s true tragedy wasn’t here. It was while clearly knowing that his Majesty very much disliked Fu Yun Ting, still becoming a ‘capable general’ under Fu Yun Ting. Regardless whether it was by choice or getting forced, you will certainly still enter Le Cheng Emperor’s blacklist. And as someone in the know, Su Ming Zhang certainly will do a bit of something during this period of time. Then, that was just a readily available handle to use against him. When time comes, the one to commit treason, don’t know who it will be.

And the one that had all these calculated meticulously at every step was Jin Qinwang. Even as ‘his own people’ hearing this, their livers would all shake. And towards those that were completely kept in the dark by him, truly don’t know what kind of feelings they should express.

However, because he was also quite miserable, hearing that quite a few people were even more miserable than him, even if those people had no grudges with him, he still strangely produced a sense of balance inside. Fu Yun Ting was also too lazy to ponder over whether or not this mentality of his was wrong.

“Fine, get lost then.” Li Hong Yuan calmly said.

“This humble general will take one’s leave.” Fu Yun Ting swiftly got lost.

TN: All

However, Fu Yun Ting was very clear. Some things, if he doesn’t handle well, Jin Qinwang probably will really ‘sort him out’. When time comes, it won’t be as simple as getting messed with. The things that Le Cheng Emperor wasn’t able to accomplish, Jin Qinwang will probably take his place. And in Jin Qinwang’s hands, that was really not having the slightest opportunity.

That’s why, Fu Yun Ting was very clear, he absolutely can’t make the slightest mistake, and need to be on full alert at anytime and anywhere. Before things have completely settled, one absolutely cannot relax. Even if the final outcome was already set, towards Jin Qinwang, one should still be cautious and even more cautious. One absolutely must not accidentally anger the other party.

He didn’t want to die, and further didn’t want to drag down his entire family.

As the main commander holding the power of an army of several hundred thousand, truthfully speaking, there was probably none as sullen as Fu Yun Ting. Those people, when truly harboring some sort of ambition, even if not plotting to seize the throne, in a certain sense, that was still someone capable of arm wrestling with the one on the throne. He perhaps didn’t fear Le Cheng Emperor, because Le Cheng Emperor was just someone getting played in the palm of the person he feared.

Setting aside how badly burned in the head the West Xiongnu’s Daxian Wang was, and setting aside the internal conflict of West Xiongnu for now, as the end of the year approached, under normal circumstances, Le Cheng Emperor should’ve already sealed the imperial brush. However, because of the war, this year was actually the same as last year. No one stopped being busy. And at this time, Le Cheng Emperor, as well as the entire imperial court, suddenly received news that Jin Qinwang’s party, including Jin Wangfei Luo Jing Wan, the Commander of the Imperial Guards Yu Zhong Qing, and the Black Clad Guards’ Li Su Yan, all disappeared. And that wasn’t all. Shortly after, all connections between the northwest and the imperial court also got thoroughly severed at the same time. What the situation was like over there right now, they completely didn’t know. Jin Qinwang’s disappearance practically was just like the last news the other party deliberately let out.

Le Cheng Emperor had agreed to Li Su Yan’s suggestion, making use of his son, but right now, this kind of completely uncontrollable situation absolutely wasn’t what he wanted to see. That was the son he cared about the most. The son given birth to by his true love. At present, the ceremonial ritual was already complete. He didn’t know what the final outcome was, but he eagerly wished to meet her. Just, after the ceremonial ritual, Grandmaster Liao Chen temporarily refused to see guests. Even if he was the emperor, there was still no exceptions.

Now that their son was missing, if by chance he were to see the Imperial Noble Consort, how will he explain to her?

Le Cheng Emperor’s anger escalated to an unprecedented height. And this time, he wasn’t that lucky, still ‘full of vigor’, instead directly vomiting blood, even briefly falling unconscious.

This happened in front of many people, so even if wanting to conceal, it was impossible. For a moment, quite a few people were alarmed.

Fortunately, because it was extremely brief, the panic just got pressed down shortly after.

However, the situation this time was nevertheless like a warning, or perhaps a kind of omen, deeply penetrating certain people’s hearts, as if a seed taking root, feeling restless inside.

After Le Cheng Emperor regained consciousness, he immediately sent people to the northwest. No matter what, they must figure out exactly what happened. And at the same time, he also unhesitantly ordered to have the entire Wu’an Marquis Manor all imprisoned. After all, there was nothing to say this time. If not Fu Yun Ting having problems, then after Jin Qinwang disappeared, the communication with the northwest wouldn’t have been severed.

Le Cheng Emperor deeply hated inside even further. Fu Yun Ting actually rebelled for real!

However, Le Cheng Emperor this while still had his rationality, just having the people of Wu’an Marquis Manor detained, ultimately not touching them. After all, his beloved son perhaps was in the other party’s hand. He feared that if he touched the people of Wu’an Marquis Manor, his son will also suffer.

And while the situation was unclear, one can’t just send troops to suppress either, so can only wait.

Waiting for the unknown made one the most anxious.

Fortunately, towards Jin Qinwang’s plans, there was still those countable few that roughly were aware in the imperial court. That’s right, it was just roughly being aware. That’s why, facing this kind of situation, they were still able to remain calm. However, the fretfulness that one should display, one should still have. Thus, Luo Pei Shan practically ran before Le Cheng Emperor everyday, wanting to know the latest news. On the surface, he was just as distressed as Le Cheng Emperor, but on the inside, he was full of sympathy towards Le Cheng Emperor. However, aside from sympathy, there was nothing else. After all, as a subject, towards this emperor, it wasn’t disappointment, but rather despair.
