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

Chapter 190 Yu Shuai Asks
Old Man Wei kowtowed twice to the ground: "Wei Xiangzhong thanks Marshal Yu and the general on behalf of Jiang Lin!"

Qi Hongwu stretched out his hand and the strong energy blew the old man Wei up.

Although he tried to be as gentle as possible, Old Man Wei was old and frail. After kneeling for a while, he staggered a few times when he stood up and almost fell.

"You are too weak." Qi Hongwu looked a little dignified and said, "If that boy doesn't treat you well, I will go over and beat him up myself!"

Old Man Wei smiled faintly: "He is very good to me."

"That's fine. It's rare to see you kneeling down to beg for someone. Don't do it again next time." Qi Hongwu said.

"Ah."

After Old Man Wei bowed and saluted, he turned around and limped away with the broken knife in his pocket.

Looking at his old figure, Qi Hongwu shook his head slightly, and then said to the people on both sides: "Don't underestimate him. When he was in the border army, he was also very powerful."

It's just that heroes are made by the times, and heroes cannot resist the invasion of fate.

After leaving Gupi Lane, Old Man Wei went to the Nanling camp.

Looking at Jiang Lin, who had already hung the Nanling Camp badge, Old Man Wei had a slightly complicated expression.

"Mr. Wei, what are you doing?" Jiang Lin looked at the old man Wei wearing a helmet and armor, his face full of confusion.

Old Man Wei smiled a little and said, "I took a walk when I had nothing to do. You can stay here and rest assured. I'm going back."

Jiang Lin said "oh" and watched him leave.

Liao Mingxu had already made it clear according to military discipline that no one was allowed to enter or leave the camp, so he could not leave the camp to see him off.

Looking at the old man Wei leaving and his somewhat strange outfit, Jiang Lin always felt that something had happened, but he didn't know what it was.

Song Tianjiu walked over and asked, "What are you looking at? Are you tired of staying here so soon and want to leave?"

"No." Jiang Lin shook his head and pointed outside the camp, saying, "Master Wei just came here, wearing old armor. He looked weird. I don't know what he was doing."

Song Tianjiu was stunned and looked in the direction of his finger.

Looking at the limping figure, Song Tianjiu seemed to have thought of something.

"Didn't Master Wei tell you what to do?" Song Tianjiu turned around and asked.

"No." Jiang Lin asked, "Brother Song knows?"

Song Tianjiu hesitated for a moment, but chose not to say anything. He just sighed and said, "You are lucky to have Master Wei here. You should be better to him in the future."

This statement has a hidden meaning, but he is unwilling to say it clearly.

Jiang Lin listened and nodded silently. He didn't know what happened, but it didn't affect his decision on what to do.

It's our duty to be nice to Old Man Wei.

It should be better.

The next day.

Jiang Lin was woken up early in the morning. Liao Mingxu personally held the document from the Ministry of War and said with a smile: "It's done, no need to worry anymore. From now on, you are a member of our border army, and no one can take you away!"

Jiang Lin took the document and took a look at it. It showed that he was being transferred from the Foundry to be a military blacksmith.

Liao Mingxu pointed to the middle of the document and said, "See? This is the seal of our General Qi."

Jiang Lin looked at the big square seal and wondered if it was possible that the old man Wei, wearing armor, went to look for General Qi yesterday?

Otherwise, why would the general need to meddle in the transfer of a mere blacksmith?

"Master Wei and General Qi know each other?" Jiang Lin asked.

"More than knowing each other." Liao Mingxu said, "When Lord Wei was a centurion, General Qi was the lieutenant general of our Nanling camp."

This kind of relationship can be described as brothers who are not brothers, and it cannot be explained by the word "acquaintance".

"If Master Wei had not been injured and had to withdraw from the border army, this position of lieutenant general would have been his now."

Liao Mingxu's face was full of emotion, and he said: "You probably don't know how powerful Master Wei was back then. He was enough to rank among the top three among the hundred-man army of the border army!"

Jiang Lin was very surprised when he heard this. The number of border troops was in the hundreds of millions, and there were at least 8,000 centurions.

The border troops of Daqian were famous for their bravery. Those who could rank in the top three among them were definitely famous warriors.

I didn’t expect that the old man Wei, who had been cooking silently in the blacksmith camp and was a man of few words, was so glorious in his past.

It is precisely because of this that even after more than 20 years, people like Liao Mingxu still maintain sufficient respect for Old Man Wei.

"Everything is fine now. Do you want to continue staying in the big camp or go back to the blacksmith camp first?" Liao Mingxu asked.

If he wanted to stay in the camp, he would naturally agree with it and would immediately send someone to bring Jiang Lin's things over.

Jiang Lin asked curiously, "Since you are a military blacksmith, don't you have to stay here all the time?"

Liao Mingxu smiled and said, "Of course not. After all, a blacksmith is not a soldier. Unless he is sent to the border to prepare for war, he is free to move around unless there is something special going on. If you think this is not good, I can also draft an order to keep you here all day."

Jiang Lin quickly shook his head and said, "Forget it. The Blacksmith Camp has many things to do right now, so it's time to use people."

"I knew you would say that." Liao Mingxu said, "But when you go back, you must remember that you are already a member of the border army, not an ordinary blacksmith."

Jiang Lin looked at his serious expression and nodded, "I'll remember that."

Not long after, Jiang Lin returned to the South Blacksmith Camp. It was time for dinner, and when a group of blacksmiths saw him coming back, they quickly put down their bowls and chopsticks and ran over.

"Master Jiang is back!"

"Master Jiang, are you okay? We were so worried."

"I heard that you joined the border army? I guess we won't see each other again in the future?"

"Bah, bah, bah, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"Yes, yes, yes, I was wrong. Isn't this anxious?"

A group of blacksmiths were talking at once. Although Blacksmith Qi and other master blacksmiths did not say anything immediately, from their expressions, they all had the same idea.

Without Jiang Lin, the Southern Blacksmith Camp would really be disbanded!
Jiang Lin smiled and said, "It is true that I have joined the border army, but I have not received the order to go to the border yet, so I will still stay in the blacksmith camp."

"Then when will we receive the military order?" someone else asked.

Jiang Lin had no idea when he would receive the call. According to Liao Mingxu, it was not yet time for the Nanling camp to rest and recuperate. It would take at least another year and a half.

"Alright, alright, don't act like it's the first time we meet. Even if Master Jiang really goes with the army, he will come back sooner or later." Blacksmith Qi came over and said.

"That's right. Even if I leave, I will definitely come back." Jiang Lin agreed.

Blacksmith Qi and he looked at each other and then smiled.

No matter when I leave, at least I'm still here now, and that's a good thing.

The military blacksmith is a very special existence. When in the main camp, he is subject to military discipline. When in the blacksmith camp, he is under the jurisdiction of the Foundry Department. Even if he continues to be promoted to deputy chief blacksmith or chief blacksmith, it will not be a problem.

It can be said that both sides can be managed, but theoretically speaking, the Foundry Department will not intervene too much.

After all, these are border troops, and they don't want to cause any trouble.

Therefore, if the steward Yan Tianrong came, he would be more polite to Jiang Lin than before.

After talking to everyone for a few words, Jiang Lin came to the dining tent surrounded by them.

He walked quickly to the stove and took the rice spoon from Old Man Wei to help serve the rice as usual.

Old Man Wei stood aside, looking at Jiang Lin's burly figure, and said, "I left some food for you."

"Well, we'll eat later." Jiang Lin said.

The conversation between the two was as simple and clear as ever, yet there was a kind of intimacy that outsiders could not detect.

At this time, a letter from the Ministry of Works arrived at the Li family in Qingzhou.

The man in brocade clothes who had come to recruit Jiang Lin earlier took the letter from the servant and opened it.

There is a line written on it.

"Marshal Yu asked, Jiang Lin, abandoned."
