Making you a son-in-law is not about making you conquer the world.

Chapter 777 The Novice Black Iron Guard

Lin Ping was helpless in the face of Bai Tiantian's unreasonable demands.

But he refused to reveal the secret of the formation, so he continued, "I can use water to attack, but the Black Iron Guards are all wearing armor and cannot swim."

This time, Bai Tiantian smiled, with a hint of disdain.

"Are you kidding me? There are no rivers, let alone floods, on either side of the cliff. This trick won't work."

Lin Ping realized he had misspoke and shouldn't have been so perfunctory, so he quickly corrected himself, "We should still use water to attack!"

"Huh???" Bai Tiantian stared at Lin Ping angrily, her eyes filled with suspicion that the boy was making fun of her.

"In the dead of winter, when water freezes instantly, if you pour a bucket of water down there, your Black Iron Guard will be turned into an ice block," Lin Ping said with a grin.

Bai Tiantian finally understood that as long as they were inside the canyon, the Black Iron Guards couldn't win.

"What if there weren't canyons on either side? What if we changed the battlefield to an open, flat area?" Bai Tiantian said shamelessly.

"Why are there so many 'what ifs'? Why don't you just tell me to surrender?" Lin Ping replied angrily, not expecting Bai Tiantian to be so terrifying when she was shameless.

"We can't surrender, we have to fight!" Bai Tiantian said resolutely, then chuckled, "This is the last 'what if'."

Lin Ping shook his head. "Then I'll just run. Anyway, the Black Iron Guards aren't fast. I'll wait until you're tired and then launch a counterattack."

"Run, run?" Bai Tiantian stammered, not expecting Lin Ping to be so shameless.

Not only are they shameless, but they are also ruthless.

Bai Tiantian knew Black Iron Guard's pace; he would be panting heavily in less than half an hour, and might actually be defeated by Lin Ping.

"You can run away, but you can't hide. Aren't you afraid I'll attack the city?" Bai Tiantian said fiercely.

"Attack a city in heavy armor? Are you sure the Black Iron Guards can climb the ladders?" Lin Ping replied irritably.

Bai Tiantian was completely defeated; he didn't know what else to say.

Lin Ping patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "I didn't mean anything by saying this."

These words had some effect. Bai Tiantian tried to wipe away the tears inside her armor and glanced at Lin Ping sideways.

"Are you saying that all of this is just theoretical and not very useful in practice?" Bai Tiantian asked back.

He desperately wanted Lin Ping to agree, so that the Black Iron Guard could maintain their undefeated record.

"No, no, no, you misunderstood." Lin Ping shook his head and said, "What I mean is, the Black Iron Guards are trash. I can easily beat them. You don't need to be sad because the difference in strength is huge. There's no need to hold a grudge."

???

Bai Tiantian felt like a million alpacas were galloping through her mind; she simply couldn't understand Lin Ping anymore.

"Don't understand?" Lin Ping continued to explain, "I mean, the Black Iron Guards are no match for you. Don't even think about attacking the Wu Kingdom."

"So you're begging me?" Bai Tiantian finally understood Lin Ping's meaning.

Lin Ping shook his head vigorously, "How can this be considered a request? It's clearly an order!"

Upon hearing this, the several lieutenants beside him were almost paralyzed with fear. They belatedly drew their longswords, thinking of chopping Lin Ping to pieces immediately.

"This is the Daye Dynasty, my territory. Killing you is easier than crushing an ant. I admit you have some skills, but if you can't be used by me, I'd rather destroy you." Bai Tiantian's eyes flashed with a chilling killing intent.

At the same time, dozens of soldiers surrounded them menacingly.

"Them? General Bai, you underestimate me too much." Lin Ping sneered.

Before the words had even finished, he had already launched his attack.

shhhhhh!

Lin Ping's figure was like a ghost, his palm strikes constantly changing, swiftly landing on the wrists of these soldiers.

Clang clang clang!

The longswords kept falling to the ground.

"Get out of here, all of you! Stop making a fool of yourselves!" Bai Tiantian shouted angrily.

Not to mention these ordinary soldiers, even he was defeated by Lin Ping.

"Won't you try again?" Lin Ping asked dismissively.

"You can try, but you'll be riddled with arrows." Bai Tiantian's voice was equally cold.

Lin Ping remained calm and said with his hands in his pockets, "Let me guess, there should be five hundred people on the east side of the courtyard, about the same on the west side, and a thousand each on the north and south sides, for a total of three thousand crossbowmen."

This time, it was Bai Tiantian's turn to be shocked.

It's not surprising that someone could guess there were crossbowmen outside the wall, but it's somewhat unbelievable that they could guess the number of people in each direction.

"You're very lucky to have this answer in exchange for your life."

"Is it just luck? If I'm wrong, is General Bai really willing to kill me?" Lin Ping laughed loudly, turned around and left, not caring how many people were lying in ambush around him.

"This kid is really interesting," Bai Tiantian thought to herself.

"Oh, by the way, I, Lin Wuqing, always keep my word. If General Bai really intends to attack the Wu Kingdom, I guarantee that the Black Iron Guards will vanish from the world without a trace. This is not a threat, but a friendly reminder." Lin Ping stopped and turned back with a cold expression.

"If you were the Grand General of the Wu Kingdom, perhaps I would really consider it, but don't forget, you were driven out of the Wu Kingdom, and no one will listen to your orders." Bai Tiantian was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

She was clearly afraid of Lin Ping, yet she couldn't bear to kill him.

"I will prove even more to you." With that, Lin Ping patted his behind and left, completely treating the place like a restaurant, and one that didn't cost him a penny.

"Let's wait and see!" Bai Tiantian was full of anticipation.

"General, this man must not be allowed to live!" the adjutant beside him pleaded earnestly.

They invited Lin Ping to try and extract information about the relevant policies, but not only did they fail to extract any information, they were also threatened by Lin Ping.

I'm really annoyed.

"Are you confident you can kill him? If you fail, he will be our greatest enemy!" Bai Tiantian said in a low voice, watching Lin Ping's cold back.

The siege by three thousand crossbowmen did indeed have a chance to kill Lin Ping, but there was also a possibility of failure.

Bai Tiantian dared not take that risk.

Besides, Lin Ping had just helped him; he wasn't the kind of person who would forget kindness.

Since he wanted to win over Lin Ping, he couldn't give up halfway.

"Oh my god! That scared me to death!" After escaping the crossbowmen's encirclement, Lin Ping was covered in cold sweat and ran away as fast as he could.

Fortunately, he had a strong presence, otherwise Bai Tiantian might have actually taken action.

Lin Ping is walking on the edge of a knife.

He had to do this, otherwise Bai Tiantian might really attack the Wu Kingdom in the near future.

Sometimes Lin Ping couldn't help but wonder if he had made a mistake in this game, and that he shouldn't have helped Bai Tiantian in the first place.

He could easily place his bets on Fan Li, bribing him with money to secure decades of stability for the Wu Kingdom.

"That guy's behavior was disgusting; he took ten thousand taels of gold from me." Lin Ping felt annoyed just thinking about it.

This is also the main reason why he helped Bai Tiantian.

It's much easier to outsmart a military man than a politician.

Lin Ping liked Bai Tiantian's naive and silly personality, which made it easy for her to deceive him.
