Chapter 797 The Crown Prince of India
Bai Tiantian smiled mysteriously: "I wonder who the two people ranked above me are? Especially the third person on the list of extraordinary people, who often determines the fate of the entire empire."
To be honest, Lin Ping was also a little curious. Even if he racked his brains, he didn't know who could rank above Bai Tiantian.
Bai Tiantian is a war god-level figure, and with the emperor's trust, she could conquer several vassal states in no time.
In all the world, who else possesses such abilities?
While the two were still wondering, many people raised objections, and some even doubted Bai Tiantian's abilities.
"The Great General has fought for decades without ever suffering a defeat. He should be ranked third on the list of extraordinary people!" Lin Ping shouted loudly, always eager for a good show.
Bai Tiantian really wanted to shut him up, but it was too late; his words had reached everyone's ears.
Among those present were many supporters of Bai Tiantian, who immediately joined in the commotion, "That's right, the General should be ranked third, no! He should be first!"
This person, like Lin Ping, clearly did not understand the rules of the Ranking of Extraordinary People.
Even if Bai Tiantian has extraordinary abilities, she can only rank third, because the top two are fixed.
Chiyang Pavilion won't even announce the last two spots; everyone knows what's going on anyway.
"Because he lost once, to the Wu Kingdom, just a few months ago," Du Yitong explained.
The war between the Daye Dynasty and Yueguo was no secret, but few people knew the reasons for the Daye Dynasty's defeat. Now, Chiyang Pavilion was shifting the blame onto Bai Tiantian, thus lowering his ranking.
Both Lin Ping and Bai Tiantian were somewhat surprised by these words.
Lin Ping was afraid that Chiyang Pavilion would expose his identity, while Bai Tiantian was afraid that Chiyang Pavilion would reveal the reason for their defeat.
In short, they all hoped that Chiyang Pavilion would stop there.
“The Great General is incredibly brave, how could he possibly be defeated? We don’t believe it!” One of Fan Li’s confidants questioned, hoping that Chiyang Pavilion would reveal the reason for Bai Tiantian’s defeat, which could potentially deal a heavy blow to the other side.
Not to mention everyone present, even Fan Li was curious about how Bai Tiantian had been defeated. He had indeed accepted bribes from the Wu Kingdom and requested the emperor to withdraw his troops, but by then Bai Tiantian had already been defeated.
Imagine if everyone knew that Bai Tiantian was defeated by a mere bannerman from the Wu Kingdom, they would probably laugh their heads off.
Du Yitong smiled and shook her head: "The answer will be revealed soon."
"I think I should hide for now. What if the Crimson Sun Pavilion finds out what happened?" Lin Ping whispered in Bai Tiantian's ear, thinking about retreating.
He wasn't afraid that Bai Tiantian would lose face because of this; he was only afraid that his identity would be exposed, and he might die in the Daye Dynasty.
"A defeat is a defeat. A true man should be brave enough to admit his mistakes. Besides, I am convinced of my defeat by Lin Wuqing. Why should I care about what others think?"
Bai Tiantian grabbed Lin Ping and suddenly understood.
If he can't even accept the fact of failure, how can he continue to break through?
Under the heavy guard of the Black Iron Guards, Lin Ping knew he couldn't leave and could only hope that Jiang Mo could help him keep it a secret.
Just as Lin Ping was winking at Jiang Mo, the other party unfurled the scroll.
"Fourth on the list of extraordinary people, the Crown Prince of Zhu!" Jiang Mo's loud voice was as melodious as the tolling of a bell.
"Haha, Brother Wang is indeed ranked higher than the Grand General of the Daye Dynasty! Your Chiyang Pavilion is quite capable!"
Just as everyone was wondering, an Indian man in the Indian delegation laughed arrogantly.
He was a prince of the Kingdom of Zhu and the younger brother of the crown prince. He was naturally happy to learn that his elder brother was ranked so high, even surpassing Bai Tiantian.
Currently, only two extraordinary individuals from the vassal states have made the list: Xia Yeran and the Crown Prince of Zhu. The former is ranked ninth, while the latter is ranked fourth.
How could a mere vassal state produce someone even more capable than Bai Tiantian?
So, does that mean the military strength of the Kingdom of India was stronger than that of the Daye Dynasty?
Many people gasped in shock. The vast majority of those present were from the Daye Dynasty, and naturally did not want such a terrifying figure to emerge from the Kingdom of Zhu.
What are this person's abilities?
Even Fan Li felt that his ranking was a bit high.
Internally, he and Bai Tiantian were political enemies, but externally, they belonged to the same Daye Dynasty and should have fought side by side.
"The Crown Prince of India? There's such a person?" Lin Ping also found it intriguing. His only impression of India was that it was India, and he really didn't know anything about this Indian Crown Prince.
Could it be the Third Prince?
"For the past twenty years, India has been plagued by internal strife and its people have suffered greatly. This crown prince of India resolved the internal strife without bloodshed and solved the problem of feeding the people within three years," Jiang Mo explained.
The fact that twenty years of internal strife was resolved without bloodshed is indeed quite remarkable.
Not only that, but he was also able to resolve the famine caused by internal strife within three years, which is quite remarkable.
This prince of Zhu is not simple.
"That's my brother, the man who's about to ascend the throne!" the Third Prince said arrogantly, his brother's thoughts even more coveted.
Jiang Mo smiled faintly at the prince and continued, "Not only that, this crown prince also plans to attack the Western India Kingdom within two years to expand his territory."
"What do you mean you want to attack our Western India?" The prince next door was startled, staring at the other party with a look that was three parts anger and seven parts fear.
The two kingdoms of India and India not only share a border, but have also maintained friendly relations for centuries.
The Western Kingdom regarded the Kingdom of Zhu as a brother for life, but they never expected that their brother would stab them in the back. If it hadn't been exposed by the Crimson Sun Pavilion, they would still be in the dark.
"Damn it! How dare you expose the secrets of the Kingdom of Zhu! I'll kill you all!" The prince of Zhu gritted his teeth in anger and charged toward Jiang Mo with a ferocious expression.
He had clearly lost; before he could even get close to Jiang Mo, he had already been stopped by dozens of Black Iron Guards.
"This is the capital of the Daye Dynasty. If you two want to fight, you should leave here first," Black Panther said in a fairly respectful tone.
The prince of Zhu knew that his side was outnumbered and outmatched. If he wanted to kill Jiang Mo, he would not only be blocked by the Daye Dynasty, but also face a joint counterattack from the Dao Chiyang Pavilion and even the Western Zhu Kingdom.
Even though he had incredibly powerful and arrogant experts around him, he didn't dare to take the risk.
The news has already been made public, so killing Jiang Mo will be of no use.
"Hmph, we'll see. My brother will kill you all." The prince of Zhu Kingdom said without any hesitation.
Since the crown prince of India had the idea of conquering the Western India, he also had the ambition to unify the Central Plains.
"It seems that the prince ranked ahead of you has a lot of ideas. If he can really conquer Xizhu Kingdom within two years, then he is very likely to conquer Daye Dynasty within five years." Lin Ping said gloatingly, "Let me calculate. If Daye Dynasty goes to war with Wu Kingdom, even if Wu Kingdom is no match, I am confident that I can hold out for five years."
Lin Ping's meaning was quite clear: if Bai Tiantian attacked the Wu Kingdom, the Zhu Kingdom would likely benefit from the attack.
Bai Tiantian smiled faintly: "Then we'll see if he has the ability to conquer the Kingdom of Zhu within two years."
