Chapter 1181: The Five Great Prince Groups
Translator: Lordbluefire
The prince group from Great Tang consisted of the main commander Han Cangshui, who was responsible for issuing all decisions for the Five Empires of War Discussions. The secondary commander was Eldest Princess Li Xiu, and she was responsible for miscellaneous things as well as social interaction.
Sun Mo was the third commander, which meant that among all characters in the group, he was ranked third. This title not only didn’t sound good, but it also didn’t have any actual power.
Other than Li Ziqi, Sun Mo probably couldn’t command anyone else.
“Li Yingqi is bullying people too much!”
In the horse carriage, Ying Baiwu was extremely indignant. She felt that the Emperor had slighted her teacher.
“Baiwu, there might be people unworthy of their reputations among 6-stars great teachers. But for great teachers who are 7-stars and above, there are no quacks. Besides, Han Cangshui is an 8-stars and is the one with the title ‘Alchemy Martial Sage’!”
Qin Yaoguang advised her senior martial sister to calm down.
“That’s right, all of the royals in the Tang Country depend on Han Cangshui’s alchemy pills to extend their longevity. No matter how high the standard of our teacher is, the emperor wouldn’t dare to use him. If not, how could he still have the face to ask Han Cangshui for alchemy pills in the future?”
Tantai Yutang explained. A group like this was built upon the consideration of various interests. It didn’t mean that one could be the group leader just because one was strong.
“What if they lose the war discussion?”
Xianyu Wei was worried.
“Naturally, Han Cangshui will be f***ed!”
Tantai Yutang shrugged.
“But our teacher’s fame is so great, he would also be implicated, right?”
Xianyu Wei’s expression turned heavy.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Not only so, but Ziqi might even be thought of as a weakling!” Helian Beifang felt a headache. “Besides, the most depressing thing is that if Han Cangshui lost, it’s highly possible for him to shift the blame to our teacher, saying that our teacher has disturbed him, causing him to be unable to have full command. At that time, our teacher wouldn’t be able to explain himself no matter what.”
“We shouldn’t discuss too much about this then.”
Xianyu Wei suggested.
“Do you think that will be helpful?”
The sickly invalid chortled. “If Han Cangshui can win, he would say that it is due to his excellent strategies and command. If the situation isn’t good, our teacher will definitely give him some suggestions, right? As long as our teacher speaks, Han Cangshui will definitely use this as an excuse, saying our teacher is causing a disturbance that makes the group lose!”
“Sigh, it’s a dead-end!”
Lu Zhiruo shook her head and sighed. Because it was the War Discussion, Li Ziqi couldn’t refuse to join. If not, her reputation within the Tang Empire would be finished.
“Cough, I actually have a solution!”
Qin Yaoguang smiled in a very cunning manner. When the other martial siblings glanced at her, she lowered her voice. “We can poison Han Cangshui or play some small tricks to make him fall sick for a short period.”
“Bad idea!”
Jiang Leng, who had always been silent, spoke out now.
“That’s right, this will actually give the initiative to the other party instead!”
The sickly invalid felt that they either shouldn’t do anything or if they did something, they had to directly make sure Can Hangshui died.
“We shouldn’t be so pessimistic. What if everyone performed outstandingly and won?”
Xianyu Wei changed her mentality. “After all, our eldest martial sister is very impressive!”
“Have you gained an understanding of the other prince groups?”
Qin Yaoguang counter-asked.
The plains-girl shook her head.
“The crown prince of Great Xia, Xia Taikang, is a top graduate of the Skyraise Academy. Although he isn’t a great teacher, he is skilled in zither, chess, poems, and paintings, and excels in both literature and martial arts. His brilliance made everyone proclaim him as the most outstanding successor in all of Great Xia’s history.”
Qin Yaoguang revealed. “Right now, he has started to govern the country. For some minor matters, the Xia Emperor just allowed Xia Taikang to make his own decisions.”
“Ah? Isn’t the Xia Emperor worried that the crown prince might try to off him too early in advance?”
Helian Beifang was somewhat curious. Usually speaking, the Emperor would regard authority very highly. Unless they were too old or heavily ill, they wouldn’t hand a portion of their authority.
“The Xia Emperor’s heirs were few in number, and some of them got sick and passed away. In the end, Xia Taikang is the only one who lives on. This is why the Xia Emperor dotes on him very much.”
Qin Yaoguang loved collecting various news and gossip the most. “In any case, among the crown princes of all countries in the Central Plains, Xia Taikang is the number one!”
Si~
(So strong?)
Xianyu Wei was shocked.
“In that case, what is the rank of our eldest martial sister?”
Lu Zhiruo asked in a daze.
“Based on beauty, she is in the top three. Based on her talent, ever since she got rejected by Secondary Saint Zhou, she became the butt of jokes in the royal circle. Luckily, our teacher nurtured her, and she became the youngest great teacher in history. Right now, her fame is enough to rank her within the top ten.”
Qin Yaoguang heard these from the grapevine.
“After that, it is the Eldest Princess of Qi Country, Jiang Yuzheng. She studied in the Westshore Military School and learned a whole bunch of capabilities. She might be weaker in the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting aspects, but when it comes to military strategies, she is ranked at the absolute top. The headmaster of the Westshore Military Academy once said that if Jiang Yuzhen continued like this, it’s highly possible that she could become a Military God!”
“Military God?”
When the other students heard this, all of them had looks of shock on their faces.
In the history of Great Tang, there was only a person named Li Jing that had the qualifications to be named Military God. And in the overview of history in the entire Nine Provinces, the number of people who were qualified to have the title ‘Military God’ was less than ten.
“When Jiang Yuzhen was 15 years old, she heard that there was a land nearby that was ruled over by bandits. Hence, she secretly headed there, recruited people to form a small army, and even trained them personally. In the end, she only used a total of seven months to quell all the bandits and even personally executed the three bandit leaders of the largest bandit group.
Qin Yaoguang continued to divulge. “This army was then named the Flying Swallow Army. Right now, they are Jiang Yuzhen’s personal army and follow her for punitive expeditions, clearing out all bandits in their country. One could say that the Qi Country is the most peaceful country among all countries in the Nine Provinces.”
“So fierce?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmXianyu Wei gulped down a mouthful of saliva and felt it was very terrifying.
Helian Beifang clenched his fist tightly. If there was a chance to, he really wanted to measure himself against this princess.
“The Qi Crown Prince is still young and he is trash. So, many people said that Jiang Yuzhen might have a very real chance to become the first female emperor in the history of Qi Country.”
Qin Yaoguang felt envious. “That’s the imperial throne!”
“Does she have a weakness?”
The sickly invalid was very interested in this Jiang Yuzhen.
“Is being a tomboy counted? I heard that she doesn’t like luxurious clothes or pearls. She even eats with her soldiers.”
Qin Yaoguang chewed the sweet in her mouth. “The Qi Emperor has once chosen many pillars of talents to match with her, but in the end, Jiang Yuzhen crushed all of them to the point where they had to flee.”
“Jiang Yuzhen has said that if someone wants to marry her, they have to win against her on the battlefield first!”
“Continue. What about the crown prince of Chu?”
The sickly invalid urged.
“The Crown Prince Xiang Zhao loves women too much. This is especially so for women with slender waists. I heard that he privately likes to apply rouge and makeup powder on his face and is a little too much of a sissy. Naturally, I’ve not seen it personally!”
Qin Yaoguang laughed. “He should be the character with the least amount of threat.”
Xiang Zhao was the Chu Emperor’s only son. No matter how lousy or rotten he was, the throne would be passed down to him.
“The Crown Prince of Great Wei, Wei Wu`an, is a great teacher that graduated from the Jixia Learning Palace. He is truly erudite and learned. It’s said that he memorized all the books in the Jixia Academy’s library when he was eight years old. He was born with both a retentive memory and the halo ‘One Heart Two Uses’!”
Qin Yaoguang looked at Li Ziqi. “He can be considered your arch-enemy!”
“From the looks of things, other than Xiang Zhao and that trash Li Xuan, it’s impossible to win against any of the others.”
Ying Baiwu kneaded her glabella. Her thirst for victory had always been strong, and she looked down the most on trash.
“Bai Wu, please be more respectful to my royal brother!”
Li Ziqi felt helpless as she persuaded her.
In order for them to be able to acclimatize to the environment of Western Jing faster, Li Xiu got the group to speed up and they had only spent half a month before they arrived at Western Jing.
However, an unexpected major character actually welcomed them at the city gate.
