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

Chapter 271: Hanging the Banner Across Mountains and Rivers

At the Southern Blacksmith Camp, Blacksmith Qi and the other master craftsmen were all shocked and immediately went into an uproar.

"Master Jiang, this is absolutely unacceptable! Why would you risk your life in a place where even the border troops have suffered heavy casualties?"

"Yes, Lord Jiang, I know that you have a close relationship with the Nanling Camp, but this matter cannot be influenced by one person. If Lord Liao and the others knew about this, I'm afraid they wouldn't want you to go!"

"The border troops are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War will naturally handle the matter. There is no need for you to go there in person!"

Everyone tried to persuade him, including Blacksmith Qi.

No one thought that Jiang Lin should go, let alone consider how he should go.

Jiang Lin said, "I have made up my mind, no need to say more. I have informed the steward Yan and several craftsmen about this matter, and they should pay more attention to the Southern Ironsmith Camp. After I leave, you must remember to continue to work hard. It is not easy for the Southern Ironsmith Camp to develop to where it is now, so don't waste this opportunity."

Everyone still wanted to persuade him to stay, but Jiang Lin said no more. He walked to the blacksmith shop, picked up two pieces of top-grade armor, and tied them to the vital parts of his chest and back.

Then he picked up the longbow, put all the Chaos Arrows into the quiver, and tied the bow and arrow behind him.

He then picked up two mid-grade spiritual weapon-level long swords and tied them around his waist, one on the left and one on the right.

After taking a quick look inside the shop, Jiang Lin walked to the Hengyu stove, tapped it a few times, and then turned and left.

The Hengyu furnace was silent, but the tall, dark furnace body made a slight humming sound after a gust of wind.

"Don't see me off." Jiang Lin took all the things and bowed to everyone in the Southern Blacksmith Camp.

"Master Jiang!"

Everyone shouted, but they couldn't stop his rock-hard determination. They could only watch the tall figure gradually walk away.

Then, they looked at Blacksmith Qi: "Master Qi, what should we do?"

Blacksmith Qi smiled bitterly and said, "How would I know? I just hope that God will see that Lord Jiang is kind and allow him to return safely."

After taking several deep breaths, Blacksmith Qi said solemnly: "Everyone, please remember what Lord Jiang said. No matter what happens in the future, if the Southern Blacksmith Camp wants to maintain the current situation, we need to work hard. Without Lord Jiang here, we must not slack off even a little bit!"

Everyone looked at each other, and finally they bowed and said, "Yes."

Jiang Lin’s last stop was at the door of his home.

Father Jiang Qingguang was chopping firewood at the door, and mother picked up the chopped firewood and piled it up at the base of the wall.

My brother-in-law Wang Hua was making a kitchen knife for someone in the blacksmith shop, and my sister Jiang Xiu brought some charcoal and placed it next to the stove.

This was a heartwarming scene that made Jiang Lin feel dazed for a moment.

That's his home.

Jiang Xiu raised his head and saw Jiang Lin standing not far away. He was immediately surprised and said, "Little brother!"

The others looked up. Jiang Xiu ran over quickly and saw Jiang Lin carrying a bow and arrows and two long swords. He couldn't help but exclaimed, "What are you doing dressed like this?"

Jiang Lin came back to his senses, hesitated, and did not tell the truth. Instead, he said, "I have to go on a long journey and may not be back for three or five days, so I came here specially to tell you."

Jiang Xiu was stunned for a moment, then seemed to remember something.

Her face changed, she reached out and grabbed Jiang Lin's arm, and asked anxiously, "Are you going to Dachen to rescue Lord Liao and the others?"

Although Jiang Xiu had never been to school and had not seen the world, she was very smart and saw the truth at a glance.

Jiang Lin's palms tightened slightly, not knowing what to say.

Jiang Xiu's eyes quickly turned red and moist, but she tried hard not to cry.

What kind of place is Dachen? It is a purgatory where even the border troops are stuck in a quagmire and a second-rank general will die!
"Do I have to go?"

Jiang Lin couldn't help but feel his eyes slightly warm when he heard his sister's slightly choked voice. He sighed and said, "Brother Liao and his men are very good to me and our family. I have to go."

Jiang Xiu sniffed softly, as if she was afraid that she would cry if she exerted a little force.

"Dad, Mom and the others..."

"Don't tell them!" Jiang Xiu shook her head slightly, and held Jiang Lin's arm with a little more force: "Dad and mom are old now, they can't stand being scared."

Jiang Lin bowed his head slightly: "They say that when parents are still alive, one should not travel far away. In fact, I am the one who is unfilial."

Jiang Xiu said: "Since ancient times, it has been difficult to be both loyal and filial. It's not your fault."

As she spoke, she suddenly said, "Wait here for a while."

She turned and ran back. Wang Hua also came over at this time and looked at the two long swords and the bow and arrow behind him.

Wang Hua smiled bitterly: "If I had known earlier, I would not have gone to the South Blacksmith Camp to talk to you about this today. If anything happened to you, Xiuxiu would probably blame me for the rest of her life."

"Even if you don't tell me, someone else will. My sister is reasonable and won't blame you." Jiang Lin said.

Wang Hua sighed, patted Jiang Lin on the shoulder, and said, "I don't have much experience, and I don't know what I can do. But I am here to take care of this family, Dad, Mom, and Xiuxiu, so don't worry."

"Thank you, brother-in-law. If there is anything that is difficult to solve, you can go to the blacksmith camp to find someone to help you."

"it is good."

Men's conversations are always too simple, without much romantic talk.

A moment later, Jiang Xiu ran out of the house holding a few things.

When they got closer, Jiang Lin could see clearly that they were two pairs of new shoes.

"I made you a thousand-layer sole a few days ago. I wanted to wait until your birthday to give it to you. You can replace it when it gets worn out."

"And this dried meat. The journey is too long. If you are hungry, just chew it in your mouth."

She said one thing after another, stuffed one thing into Jiang Lin's hands, and kept on chattering for a long time.

They were all worthless things, but in Jiang Lin's hands, they were as heavy as a mountain.

After delivering the things, Jiang Xiu pushed him out and said, "If you want to leave, go ahead. Otherwise, it will be hard to explain when your parents come to ask about it later."

She stopped only after she had walked a hundred steps away.

Jiang Lin held the things in his hand, looked at his sister with red eyes, and then looked at his brother-in-law with a complicated expression.

"Then I'm leaving," he said.

"Go ahead." Jiang Xiu opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't know where to start. Jiang Lin knew that he couldn't delay any longer, otherwise he would be unable to walk due to the heavy family ties.

Turn around and take a step.

The sound of the wind was whistling in my ears.

After a few dozen steps, a voice was heard.

"Little brother!"

Jiang Lin turned around and saw his sister Jiang Xiu waving and shouting at him.

"I'll buy more meat next time!"

Jiang Lin felt heavy-hearted after hearing all the words above.

Just this one sentence made his nose ache.

He watched Jiang Xiu wave his arms vigorously at him, as if he wanted to throw his entire arm away.

Jiang Lin sniffed and forced a smile on his face: "Let's go!"

Turning around again, his speed suddenly increased, like an eagle flying over mountains and rivers, and he disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Xiu stared at that place in a daze, and sobbing sounds gradually came out.

Wang Hua put his arm around her shoulders and said to her in a soothing voice, "I have great abilities and good fortune, so I'll be fine."

Jiang Xiu leaned in his arms, sobbing softly.

In front of the hut, Jiang Qingguang turned his head back.

No emotion could be seen on his wrinkled face, but the woman beside him was a little slow in gathering firewood.

He pursed his lips tightly, gripped the axe, and chopped at the firewood in front of him.

The movements were not very smooth, but the strength he used was a little greater than before.

We are connected by blood, we have never met, we have never talked, but the feeling between us is so connected that why does it require all these?

……

Mountains and rivers.

river.

The flowers, plants, insects and animals among the trees were startled by a flying figure and fled in all directions.

His cultivation level of the ninth level of the Yuanwu Realm allowed him to take a step that would cover dozens of meters, like a ghost, at an astonishing speed.

The lines on his face, which is no longer childish, appear so firm, as if they were cut from iron or stone.

The determination in his eyes was extremely strong.

According to the military map, from Kyoto City to Dachen, it is a full 6,780 miles!

This is twice as far as going to Qingzhou!
Jiang Lin did not follow the markings on the military map completely. That was the official road, which was flat and could accommodate a large number of troops.

But if it encounters obstacles from mountains or rivers, it will change its route.

If you want to go fast, you have to go in a straight line.

When encountering mountains, go through them; when encountering water, cross it.

When I encountered the bustling city and market, it was fleeting like an arrow piercing the clouds.

The terrifying aura of the ninth level of the Yuanwu Realm made countless people look up to the sky in horror.

Even the top masters at the pinnacle of martial arts would be shocked to the point of breaking out in sweats.

"What a terrifying cultivation!"

Outside of Kyoto City is Fengzhou, which is the territory of powerful clans.

Half a day after entering Fengzhou, a man flew up into the air in front of him and shouted, "This is the land of the Gongsun clan in Fengzhou, who are you?"

"You are an unknown person, but you have urgent business to attend to. Please make way!" Jiang Lin responded loudly without slowing down.

But that person had no intention of giving way. The powerful clans had been domineering for hundreds of years, and it had always been others who gave way to them. So there was no reason for them to give way to others.

The man's cultivation level was fully opened, and his fifth-grade Yuanwu realm cultivation level was clearly revealed: "In the Gongsun clan, flying is not allowed. Don't you know that? Come down and talk first!"

Seeing that the other party refused to give way, Jiang Lin had no intention of talking nonsense.

In the past, he might have been a little cautious, but now he is strong enough and in a hurry to travel, so there is no way he would waste time here.

He immediately drew out the long sword from his waist, and the twenty-meter-long sword energy slashed towards the opponent.

The fifth-grade Yuanwu Realm warrior was immediately horrified and dodged in panic. By the time he reacted, Jiang Lin had already passed by him and quickly disappeared into the horizon.

"Ninth level of Yuanwu Realm? How can this person be an unknown person!"

He looked in the direction Jiang Lin came from: "An expert from Kyoto City? I heard that the general of the border army died. Could this person be from the border army?"

Thinking of Jiang Lin's unhesitating action of chopping with the knife, this person suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

The Qingzhou Li family was blackmailed by Marshal Yu, and it is still a topic of conversation among everyone.

The Gongsun family of Fengzhou is not stronger than the Li family of Qingzhou; on the contrary, it is weaker.

He immediately gritted his teeth and chased in the direction of Jiang Lin, not to get back at him, but because he was worried that if he encountered other people and had a conflict, he could mediate in time.

The general was killed, and it was said that Marshal Yu was furious and went straight to the heart of Dachen.

To displease the border troops at this time would be to ask for trouble.

But as he chased, he could no longer see anyone and began to sweat profusely.

"This person is so fast!"

Glancing around, the man gritted his teeth and said secretly: "I hope this person doesn't conflict with my Gongsun clan, otherwise it will be another trouble!"
