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

Chapter 383 This is Daqian
"What's the matter with caring or not? I just have nothing to do, so I came to ask Your Majesty about next year's military pay." Marshal Yu said.

Eunuch Tian chuckled and said, "Marshal Yu is right."

Jiang Lin looked at Marshal Yu and saw that the border army commander nodded slightly at him, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Sooner or later, he and the imperial court will have to come into conflict, but Marshal Yu is always doing favors like this, and when the real fight comes, he will find it hard to bring himself to do it.

Yu Shuai came over, looked at Jiang Lin, and asked, "Can you already forge a magic weapon?"

"No." Jiang Lin shook his head.

"Top-grade holy weapon?" Marshal Yu asked again.

"No." Jiang Lin still shook his head.

Marshal Yu was a little confused. He couldn't even forge a top-grade holy weapon, so why did His Majesty want to see him so early?
"Eunuch Tian?" Yu Shuai turned his head to look.

When they arrived in front of the palace, Eunuch Tian would not talk nonsense anymore. He shook his head and said, "Don't worry, Marshal Yu. You will understand after you see His Majesty."

Yu Shuai hummed and felt a little relaxed.

As long as Jiang Lin hasn't created the magic weapon, it won't be a problem.

Yu Shuai really likes this young blacksmith.

He is capable, loyal, and can "play" well with the border troops. I haven't seen him in many years.

If he didn't know what the emperor wanted to do, Marshal Yu would have tried his best to protect him no matter what.

Afterwards, the three of them entered the palace together and arrived at the imperial study smoothly.

The Daqian Dynasty had rules, but not that many rules.

The emperor never held a morning court because his territory was too vast and there were too many important matters to discuss to cover them all in just one morning.

Therefore, the imperial court has always delegated power to ministers. Military affairs are under the control of the Ministry of War and the border troops. Others include the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Justice, and many subordinate departments.

Only when there is something extremely important would he come to the Imperial Study to meet the Emperor.

This was Jiang Lin's first time coming to the Daqian Palace, and wherever he went, he displayed his nobility.

Every few dozen steps, there were guards patrolling back and forth, and the security was very strict.

The lowest level of cultivation of these guards is above the eighth level of Yuanwu Realm, and the weapons they are equipped with are at least precious weapons.

These people are the most elite troops of Daqian.

Even when meeting Eunuch Tian and Marshal Yu, these guards would look at them with an expressionless and scrutinizing gaze, as if they would immediately draw their swords if they saw something wrong.

"The elite among the elite. Compared with these people, the Yuanwu Realm guards of the powerful clans are simply not worth mentioning."

Jiang Lin secretly praised in his heart, thinking that it would be great if one day the people sitting in the watchtower could be so capable.

However, cultivation is easy to improve, and it can be brought up by relying on pills. However, this kind of momentum with a strong murderous aura and the momentum of one man blocking the way for ten thousand cannot be brought up by pills.

It took more than 400 years of conquests by the Daqian Dynasty to create the current imperial palace guards, and the Watchtower is just the beginning.

After seeing all the new things along the way, not long after, Eunuch Tian reminded them: "The Imperial Study is ahead. When Lord Jiang comes to see you, remember to observe the etiquette!"

Jiang Lin nodded. As the saying goes, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. The emperor is the supreme ruler of this world, and he works for him to make a living.

I still know what rules to follow.

After several people entered the imperial study and went to the back, Jiang Lin saw the figure standing in front of the desk.

At first glance, one can feel the domineering and unimaginable pressure contained in that tall body, which emanates naturally and makes one subconsciously want to kneel down.

This is the dignity of the lord of the dynasty, and also the domineering power gained by countless border troops fighting!
"Is this the person who brings danger to me?" Jiang Lin stared at Emperor Shun's back, and a trace of resistance inevitably arose in his heart.

Marshal Yu seemed to have sensed something, and he coughed lightly and said, "Your Majesty, the envoy from the Ministry of Works has arrived."

This cough made the quiet atmosphere in the imperial study room suddenly relaxed.

Emperor Shun nodded, and then said, "Jiang Lin, the Left Secretary of the Ministry of Works, I have heard this name so many times recently that my ears are almost covered with calluses. He is young and promising, very good."

Jiang Lin bowed and said, "Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. I am just doing my duty."

"Duty?" Emperor Shun did not intend to turn around. He just raised his head slightly and looked forward. His voice was cold and clear: "Destroying the Sangzhou Kuxiu is also part of your duty as the Left Secretary of the Ministry of Works?"

Jiang Lin had long expected the emperor to ask this question, so he was not panicked. Instead, Yu Shuai was stunned as he listened to it.

Destroy Sangzhou and practice asceticism?
Who?
Jiang Lin?

His mind was full of question marks. Although Sangzhou Kuxiu was not very strong, they could be destroyed if they really brought a million border troops over.

But those were all "desperadoes" and when they fought, they were not much worse than the border troops.

The most important thing is that the border troops have a battle formation, but the Four Saints of Shimen hold the magical weapon Sumeru Wheel.

The Sumeru Wheel is very special. The more power it gathers, the greater its power will be.

To a certain extent, this is the materialization of the border army battle formation.

In addition, their cultivation level is very high. Although there are only 100,000 people, with the help of Sumeru Wheel, they are also terrifyingly powerful.

Even if Marshal Yu personally led a million border troops, he could only guarantee a miserable victory.

As for Jiang Lin...

Yu Shuai turned his head and looked carefully. He was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed: "How come you are at the eighth level of the Divine Martial Realm?"

The general of the border army was frightened. When he met Jiang Lin before, he was only at the sixth level of the Divine Martial Realm, which was already frighteningly high. It had only been a short time since they last met, and he had advanced two levels!

Jiang Lin cupped his hands to Marshal Yu and said, "I was lucky enough to get some benefits in Sangzhou, Marshal Yu, please don't make a fuss."

"shit!"

His cultivation level improved so quickly, who wouldn't be surprised?
"What happened to Sangzhou Kuxiu? Did you really destroy him?" Yu Shuai asked.

He still didn't know what happened in Sangzhou. After all, as soon as the emperor got the news, he called Jiang Lin over.

"I guess so." Jiang Lin nodded.

"How did you do that?" Yu Shuai asked in horror.

Emperor Shun did not say a word and let Marshal Yu ask questions continuously, because he also wanted to know the answers to these questions.

Before Jiang Lin came, he had already thought of an excuse, and said, "Marshal Yu should know that Ku Xiu has a magical weapon in his hand, called the Xumi Wheel."

"Of course I know. The Earth is Round and the Sky is Square, and the Three Thousand Worlds is one of the most amazing magic weapons in the world." said Marshal Yu.

"This magical weapon actually has a big problem, it can eat people!" Jiang Lin said.

"eat human?"

Not to mention Yu Shuai, even Eunuch Tian next to him was stunned when he heard it.

"Yes." Jiang Lin nodded solemnly and said, "I went to the Xumi Mountains to look for a strange fire. Unexpectedly, I found the skeleton of an alchemist at the foot of the mountain. After taking the strange fire, the skeleton gave off a fragrance that floated up the mountain."

"After that, the Sumeru Wheel suddenly went crazy and swallowed up all the ascetics along with the Sumeru Mountain, then shattered the void and disappeared."

"So it is not wrong to say that I was the one who destroyed this bitter cultivation, but I dare not make such a huge contribution."

Jiang Lin's face was full of sincerity and his tone was so natural that it was hard to tell whether it was true or false.

But what he said was really unbelievable.

Did Kuxiu disappear because Sumeru suddenly went crazy?
Seeing Yu Shuai's strange expression, Jiang Lin had already prepared his subsequent explanation in his mind. If these people didn't believe him, he would just make up a few more lies. Anyway, there would be no evidence since they were dead.

Unless the skeleton buried under Mount Sumeru can jump up and speak again.

However, Yu Shuai suddenly said, "I have heard that when the Buddha Kingdom still existed, there were rumors about the Buddha and the Great Demon."

"It is said that when the Buddha attained enlightenment, a great demon appeared out of nowhere, intending to destroy the Buddha. But the two are actually one and the same, the Buddha is the demon, and the demon is the Buddha. In the end, the Buddha suppressed the demon and obtained the magic weapon, the Sumeru Wheel, and then he established the Buddhist kingdom."

"Could it be that the so-called divine weapon is actually the devilish nature of the Buddha?"

Yu Shuai's eyes sparkled as he spoke: "That explains why the Xumi Wheel suddenly ate people. It was originally a demon, so it's normal for it to eat people! No wonder those ascetics have problems with their brains. They think the demons are divine weapons. It would be strange if they didn't have bad brains."

Eunuch Tian beside him agreed with what he said and said, "Marshal Yu, what you said does make sense. The magic weapon Xumi Wheel is the transformation of the devil nature of the Buddha. When the Buddha is not around, it manifests itself as a devil to devour the hard-working people."

As he spoke, Eunuch Tian looked at Jiang Lin and said, "Master Jiang is lucky to be alive."

Jiang Lin was a little confused after hearing what he said. No, I spent half a day preparing my speech, why does it feel like it’s not as good as yours?

I know that smart people are good at imagining things, but it is really amazing that they can come up with a "truth" that has almost no logical problems.

Even Emperor Shun said, "So, Emperor Taizu may have had this reason for not destroying the ascetics. If we kill the Buddha, there is still the Great Demon. But if we kill the Great Demon, the Buddha may come into being. It is better to keep these ascetics alive."

Jiang Lin couldn't help but look at Emperor Shun and gave him a thumbs up in his heart, Your Majesty, you are also a talented person.

Yu Shuai suddenly said: "But no matter what, Jiang Lin did make Sangzhou Kuxiu disappear. No matter what the reason is, he should be rewarded."

Anyone could understand what Marshal Yu meant. Jiang Lin felt warm in his heart. He had always known that the Border Army was one of the few forces that truly cared about him.

Although there is a high probability that they will have to resort to war if they come into conflict with the imperial court in the future, Jiang Lin currently has a very good impression of these people.

He didn't say anything, just bowed to Yu Shuai.

"Whether or not to reward, I know the limits. Why do I need you to be the good guy?"

Marshal Yu said, "Your Majesty is right."

Emperor Shun said again: "Jiang Lin, come here."

Jiang Lin didn't hesitate at all. Since he was already here, there was no need to worry about anything.

Emperor Shun could even deal with Xuanhua Dao. If they really wanted to do something to me, I'm afraid I would have been caught in a jar long ago and couldn't escape.

He walked forward boldly, bowed in front of the emperor and said, "Your Majesty."

"Have you seen this?" asked Emperor Shun.

Jiang Lin raised his head and looked forward along the emperor's back.

The imperial study is very large, more than ten meters high and at least a hundred meters long.

An extremely huge map took up most of the wall.

Jiang Lin took a look and replied, "I've never seen it."

Emperor Shun waved his hand and sent out a stream of energy, which turned into a golden outline, encircling a corner of the giant map, and said, "This is Daqian."

Jiang Lin was stunned, and when he looked at the map again, his eyes were completely different.

Because in this map, the area circled by Emperor Shun using his energy is less than one percent!
