38 Battle of the Tian Dynasty 2 (1/2)

Wu Qiming Looking at the youth in disbelief because he can't detect any spirit qi aura around this youth but this youth strength is far surpassed him. He's panicking and confusing about the situation in front of him. Didn't he eat the poison pill and died?

”Relax general Wu. I will explain this matter to you.” Emperor Tian Xiang said with a smile before walking at the side of the bed.

The youth doctor withdrew his hand and using his spirit qi to draw his acupuncture needle from Wu Qiming body into his hand and wait for his father-in-law to speak.

Emperor Tian Xiang touched the youth doctor shoulder and said with a proud smile.

”This annoying brat is Zhu Wushang, Adopted son of Grand General Zhu and My proud son-in-law. He is a genius and a master of many arts including the arts of alchemy, healing, and medicine.”

Zhu Wushang heard that, and he's quickly looking at his father in law in doubt.

[Is this stubborn old man praise me?] He thought.

Wu Qiming quickly gets up and salute to Zhu Wushang with a cupped hand.

”I'm The Western General Wu Qiming greets Prince consort Zhu! It's a great honor meeting you here!” Wu Qiming said in earnest, but Emperor Tian Xiang mysteriously smile.

”No, This brat is not the Prince consort, At least, Not yet, There are many geniuses in this world that more talented than this rascal and He needs to prove himself before those geniuses that he's better than them!”

Emperor Tian Xiang said while mockingly smile at Zhu Wushang that's looking at him with a confusion of this contradiction behavior of this father-in-law.

[What's gotten into this old man head? A moment ago he praised me, but now he's talking down on me? Is this old man starting to have memories deterioration symptoms?] Zhu Wushang thought to himself but if Emperor Tian Xiang know what Zhu Wushang thought he would want to strangle this son-in-law of his with his bare hands!

Wu Qiming is looking at Zhu Wushang and back at Emperor Tian Xiang and nodded in understanding. He's the most loyal general out of all the general Emperor Tian Xiang has, of course, he would trust his Emperor!

But right now Emperor Tian Xiang didn't know that he just start the most headache problem for himself in the future.

”Cough cough!” He faked his cough to dissolve this awkward atmosphere and bring the topic back.

”Wu Qiming, Right now, In the eye of those traitors you're already dead and. Those traitors would recommend one of their people to replace you at the western border once they already control at least half of empire border they would make a move. Since you already knew the structure, geography, and people who work on the western border like the back of your hand. I need you to keep an eye on them for me.”

What Emperor said blew Wu Qiming mind, The Traitor? Those in the meeting room are the traitor? But there is a loophole within this plan.

”Your majesty all of them knew my face I'm afraid that I can't serve you well if….” He said until now and stop and smile brilliantly like he just thought of some good idea.

Wu Qiming quickly brings his hand to claw at his face, but his hand just stopped with an unmovable force from Zhu Wushang hand that grabs his hand before he even perceives.

”Please don't do that. I knew about this loophole at the start of the plan. That's why I create this for you.”

Zhu Wushang tells him then produce the black thin leather sheet from his storage ring and place it on Wu Qiming face.

At this moment the black sheet transforms itself to match the skin tone of Wu Qiming and change itself to another shape and form, and it's changing Wu Qiming face into another person entirely.
