He was born as a blacksmith, but he dominated the world

Chapter 145 The Hot Token

It’s no wonder Xu Kaijin was suspicious. Anyone who saw Jiang Lin’s age would subconsciously deny it.

Jiang Lin understood this, but he was not angry. He just said, "Indeed, I made it."

"It's true that heroes emerge from youth. I heard that Master Jiang has a good relationship with the Nanling camp?" Xu Kaijin asked again.

"It's just that the elder brothers think highly of me."

"You can't say that. Old Liao and his men have very high standards. Not everyone can be respected by them." Xu Kaijin laughed and said, "I also fought side by side with them in the border army back then. I know their personalities very well."

"It turns out that General Xu is also from the frontier army..."

After chatting for a few sentences, Jiang Lin and Xu Kaijin quickly became familiar with each other thanks to the relationship with Liao Mingxu and others.

Then Xu Kaijin tried the power of the rifle again and praised it highly.

"Once the remnants of Xuanhua Dao are mostly wiped out, we will march to the border, take back the lost territory, and destroy a few ignorant small countries. This big gun can be used just right." Xu Kaijin said happily.

He was born with supernatural strength, and even the spear made by Yu Maoming himself was only heavy but not easy to use.

If it charges a few more times, it will be deformed.

The big gun made by Jiang Lin has just the right weight, high enough quality, and terrifying penetrating power. It is a powerful weapon for charging into battle!
Hearing this, Jiang Lin's heart moved, and he said, "General Xu is going to fight in the border areas? I happen to have a set of armor here, take a look and see if it is suitable."

The armor was made according to Jiang Lin's own body shape, and the two of them were almost the same size.

Xu Kaijin came over to take a look and asked in surprise, "Top grade armor?"

Top-grade weapons are not uncommon, but top-grade armor is rare, and only figures like generals and marshals can wear them.

Most of the third-rank generals like them only had mid-rank armor, and it was considered a great achievement to have one of the upper third-rank.

Jiang Lin introduced: "This armor is a fusion of the shell of the monster Hunlu. It is hard and has a certain evasive ability. When charging, it may be able to offset some attacks."

"Evasion ability?"

"General, just poke a shot at this armor and you'll know." Jiang Lin said.

Xu Kaijin did not hesitate because of the previous grade armor. Jiang Lin asked him to try, so he picked up the spear and stabbed forward.

Because he didn't use his full strength, the tip of the gun slid faster on the surface of the armor, and the mark left was not deep enough.

But Xu Kaijin had already sensed the intention of dodge. His eyes lit up and he stepped forward to touch the two marks.

"It's so strange. I want this armor! How much silver does it cost?" Xu Kaijin asked.

"A gun and armor, one thousand five hundred taels will be enough." Jiang Lin said.

"No." Xu Kaijin shook his head and said, "Even if it's just this armor, it's worth about 1,200 or 1,300 yuan, not to mention this big gun."

"They are all acquaintances..."

"That's why we can't let acquaintances suffer. If I really don't know you, I won't say anything even if it's only 500 taels." Xu Kaijin said, "1,900 taels, no need to say anything, otherwise I'd rather not take it."

Jiang Lin knew that they all had the same temper, so he said no more and nodded in agreement.

Xu Kaijin then happily took out the cash, but when he tried to take the armor, he was stopped by Jiang Lin.

"how?"

"This armor is damaged, and it's a little small for General Xu. I'll forge it again, fix the defects, and then send it to you." Jiang Lin said.

Xu Kaijin smiled and said, "Okay, when you come, I'll treat you to a drink."

As he spoke, Xu Kaijin handed over a token.

Holding the token, one can enter and exit freely without permission, which is considered as his preferential treatment for Jiang Lin.

Ordinary blacksmiths, even Yu Maoming, do not receive such treatment.

For some people, trust is the most precious gift. Jiang Lin took the token, sent Xu Kaijin out, and watched him carry his rifle, mount his horse, and leave until his figure disappeared.

The old man Wei's voice came from beside him: "Don't go and send it off in person."

Jiang Lin turned to look at him and asked in confusion: "Why?"

Old Man Wei glanced at the token and said, "This person is the most unreasonable. If I give you the token, I'm afraid he will wait for you to leave and stay in the army."

Jiang Lin was stunned. He and Xu Kaijin had been talking quite harmoniously, with no sign of being unreasonable at all.

Old Man Wei snorted and said, "How could you understand that the border troops would often use any means to win. If I were not here, do you think Liao Mingxu would let you go?"

Jiang Lin was speechless. Liao Mingxu had expressed his appreciation for Jiang Lin more than once and wanted him to join the army.

But he was stopped by Old Man Wei. Now think about it, if Old Man Wei hadn't stopped him, with the border troops' unruly style of doing things, they might have really kidnapped people.

The most important thing is that even if they robbed it, the Foundry would not dare to do anything.

Xu Kaijin and Wei Laohan were not from the same battalion, but they both once belonged to the border army.

In front of Old Man Wei, he might be considerate of Liao Mingxu and others and restrain himself a little.

But once we get to his camp, it’s hard to say.

Jiang Lin couldn't help but think of a TV series he had watched in his previous life, in which there was a very classic line.

"You have to agree to it whether you want to or not. If I force you to do it, I'll have you tied up! Who allowed you to come to my territory?"

It's unreasonable, it's unreasonable!

Jiang Lin smiled bitterly, and suddenly felt that the token in his hand was like a hot potato.

I should have known not to do it.

"It's okay, I'll ask Liao Mingxu to deliver it to you later." said Old Man Wei.

Jiang Lin nodded. To be on the safe side, it would be most appropriate for Liao Mingxu to go there in person.

It's not nice to just ask for help for no reason.

After returning to the blacksmith shop, Jiang Lin first re-forged the armor as he had said before.

Eliminate the damage, expand the size a bit, and add some small parts like arm armor and leg armor.

Then he used the same material to create a large heart guard.

If I gave him a whole set of armor, Liao Mingxu would definitely not want it. If he wanted to show his appreciation, he could only reduce the area.

It’s a small heart-protecting mirror, but you can’t just throw it away.

Afterwards, Jiang Lin took the things to the Nanling camp and found Liao Mingxu to explain his purpose.

Liao Mingxu understood immediately and nodded, "Master Wei is right. With Xu Kaijin's character, he is capable of doing it. He gave you this token specifically for this reason."

"So I have to ask Brother Liao to help me make the trip." Jiang Lin said, putting the breastplate aside and said, "This thing is made of the same material as the armor, so I have to take care of it. Please don't refuse."

Liao Mingxu didn't understand the characteristics of armor, so he didn't take this breastplate too seriously and thought it was just an ordinary piece of armor.

"Okay, I'll take it. Don't be so polite next time. It makes me look awkward."

Jiang Lin hummed, and then asked: "According to General Xu, after most of the remnants of Xuanhua Dao are wiped out, they will return to the border. Will they also go to the Nanling camp by then?"

"Of course I will go." Liao Mingxu said.

Every few years, some of the border troops would be called back to take turns guarding the border, which could be said to be giving them time to recuperate.
