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

Chapter 483 Meeting the Son-in-law

General Meng nodded and said, "You can handle this matter on your own. Just remember that standing behind you are not only the border troops, but also His Majesty."

These words gave Jiang Lin a lot of authority.

If the Qingzhou Li family is really determined to do something, then just go ahead and kill them!

Anyone who dares to cause trouble is going against the imperial court.

With Meng Shuai's words, Jiang Lin naturally felt more confident.

Afterwards, Meng Shuai and Hong Shuai watched him swallow the pill with their own eyes.

Knowing that these pills can only help Jiang Lin advance a small step towards the Daowu realm, and that he will need more to cross this level, the two commanders are also having a headache.

It looks like we can only go to the home of a powerful clan together.

In the next two or three days, several generals sent some things from time to time.

There are elixirs and medicinal herbs.

Jiang Lin ate the pill himself on the spot, but he didn't want to waste the medicinal materials.

If you come across the right recipe, you can definitely make better pills.

Late at night, Jiang Lin was lying in bed when he suddenly felt a strange breath.

He quickly left the room and looked towards the direction of Kyoto City.

Although I couldn't see anything, the aura of that great power was very clear.

Jiang Lin has faced this kind of aura several times, and it has become almost instinctive now.

"Is it the giant's leg bone that was transported back?"

It is very likely. After all, it is one of the only giant skeletons that the court can obtain without any fighting.

Jiang Lin breathed slowly and was about to turn around to go back, but he saw the door next to him opened and Old Man Wei walked out.

Seeing Jiang Lin standing outside, Old Man Wei didn't look too surprised, he just asked, "What happened?"

Old Man Wei's cultivation level was not very high. Even though he had obtained so many elixirs, he still had not broken through to the Yuanwu realm.

With the cultivation level of the eighth rank in martial arts, how could one sense such a majestic aura?

His concern was only for Jiang Lin.

In other words, from the subtle changes in Jiang Lin's eyebrows and eyes, one can tell whether he is worried or not.

Jiang Lin hesitated, not knowing whether he should tell this to Old Man Wei.

I had promised Old Man Wei before that if I encountered any dangerous situation, I would not lie or hide anything.

But Jiang Lin really didn't want to let the people around him share too much pressure. Before he could speak, Old Man Wei suddenly said, "If you don't want to say it, you don't have to. It's just that you are in a high position now, and the people and things you encounter are different from before. You must be more careful and act cautiously."

Jiang Lin turned around and looked at the old man who had helped him a lot.

The old grey donkey came running over, nudged Jiang Lin's arm affectionately, raised its head, and its fist-sized donkey eyes looked very energetic.

This old gray donkey has also gained a lot of benefits recently. It has eaten both health-preserving pills and eight-direction true pills. Ordinary animals don't receive such good treatment.

Its fur is now shiny, its four hooves are strong and powerful, and it runs like it is flying.

Jiang Lin patted the old gray donkey's head a few times, then smiled and said, "I remember it."

"You said you remembered it, but now you are becoming more and more aggressive." Old Man Wei shook his head and said, "In the past, I might have advised you to be more reserved to avoid any trouble. But now the situation has changed. You are no longer pig iron in the furnace, or a sharp sword."

"So whatever you want to do, just do it yourself. Just remember that there are people at home who care about you."

Jiang Lin nodded. Of course he would not forget these.

Even when killing Lu, he chose the most cautious and safest method.

I would rather spend more than ten years in a world like "Picturesque World" than take risks.

Old Man Wei didn't say much. Jiang Lin's current status, position and knowledge far surpassed his.

If you talk too much, you will seem to be too wordy.

The next day.

Jiang Lin called over Qi the blacksmith and said, "Now the Hengyu furnace has become a magical weapon and can burn iron on its own. When I'm not around, you can send the pig iron over there every day and send someone to guard it to get it."

Blacksmith Qi saw that he was about to leave, but did not ask where he was going.

The news that Qingzhou Li wanted to make Lord Jiang their son-in-law but was rejected has spread.

This was naturally done deliberately by His Majesty the Emperor, to create momentum and let the whole world know.

Unless the Qingzhou Li family has lost all their dignity, they will not be able to continue even if Jiang Lin does not cancel the engagement this time.

"Don't worry, sir. I'm here at the Blacksmith Camp, so nothing will happen."

The entire Daqian blacksmith camp was burned to pieces by the Hengyu furnace upgrade.

The Construction Department first prepared the blacksmith shop, and then started to repair the house. The big hole dug by Jiang Lin has not been filled up yet.

However, since Jiang Lin gave them a large sum of money, they would not complain too much.

Generally speaking, it can be said that I am suffering and happy at the same time.

However, Jiang Xiu learned that Jiang Lin was going to cancel the engagement, so she came over to give him some advice.

"I heard that she is a girl from a big clan? It's not easy for a girl like that to fall in love with anyone. How can she go out in the future if you rashly come to her house and ask for a break-up? Do you want to reconsider?"

Jiang Xiu was just an ordinary woman after all, so she had no idea how big the involvement in this matter was.

What she saw was just an unmarried girl whose reputation was damaged, and she didn't want her younger brother to be criticized because of it.

Jiang Lin didn't know how to explain this to her, so he just said, "Don't worry, they won't care about this, it's just an exchange of interests."

"Then their family won't make things difficult for you?" Jiang Xiu asked worriedly.

She had never met anyone from a big family, and she didn't know what the rules were in other people's families.

Just think about it, if my daughter’s engagement was broken off, she would definitely be very angry.

Jiang Lin smiled and said, "I am going there this time with the Emperor's order and the border troops escorting me. Who would dare to mess around? Anyway, don't worry. I am just going to go through the motions and will be back in a few days."

Old Man Wei came over and said, "Jiang Lin is not a child anymore. He knows his limits."

Seeing that Old Man Wei also said so, Jiang Xiu gave up and only reminded Jiang Lin not to get into conflict with others after he left.

If someone is angry and says something to you, just bear it.

Jiang Lin did not refute. He listened quietly to his sister's instructions before saying goodbye and leaving.

Outside the blacksmith camp, a second-rank general, five lieutenant generals, and five border army camps, with more than 50,000 people, had been waiting for a long time.

The general was under General Hong's command and his name was Yan Hongchang.

He was also present in the battle against the Western Barbarians and was impressed by the Holy Arrows made by Jiang Lin.

Now that he could escort Jiang Lin to Li's family in Qingzhou, Yan Hongchang was extremely happy.

Seeing Jiang Lin coming out of the blacksmith camp, Yan Hongchang immediately took the initiative to greet him and bowed, "Master Jiang."

Although his rank was half a level higher than Jiang Lin's, Yan Hongchang did not put on airs at all.

Jiang Lin then bowed and said, "Master Yan, I've been waiting for a long time."

"In that case, it's worth waiting for two more days to be able to travel with Lord Jiang."

As Yan Hongchang spoke, he called several lieutenant generals, commanders, and garrisons under his command to meet Jiang Lin and say hello.

These border troops who returned from the northwest battlefield also admired Jiang Lin very much.

Especially when they saw his burly figure, they were all stunned.

"Speaking of which, the Qingzhou Li family really wants to climb up the social ladder. Lord Jiang is such a person, unless His Majesty grants him a marriage to a princess, he can be a prince consort. How can a girl from the Qingzhou Li family be worthy of him?"

"Who says it's not true? The Qingzhou Li family wants to take this opportunity to win over a talent like Lord Jiang, but they are only willing to pay a woman as the price. This is too sweet a dream."

"They wishful thinking, Lord Jiang is not a fool."

Everyone was talking at once, not taking the powerful clans seriously at all.

For border troops, this is a consistent practice and nothing surprising.

Jiang Lin would not be surprised at all. He was wearing a set of magical weapons, which made many military officers drool.

Come up and touch the Sky Scale Armor and Arm Guard, then touch the Sky Shattering Sword, as well as the Sun Chasing Bow, Black Tortoise, White Ze, the Guardian Arrow and so on.

Yan Hongchang's eyes also turned green with envy: "Master Jiang, this set of magic weapons must have taken a lot of effort, right?"

He was a general of the second rank, but he only used spiritual weapons. Only a few generals were qualified to use mysterious weapons as weapons.

But these weapons did not belong to them. Once they left the border troops or died on the battlefield, they would be taken back by the court.

However, even the great commander mostly had Yuan soldiers, with only a few Holy soldiers.

There are not only a few people like Jiang Lin who have magical weapons and walk around everywhere, but there is none at all.

For someone at the same level, holding a magic weapon, it can almost be said that he is certain to win.

Weapons are extremely attractive to these military officers.

In other words, Jiang Lin has a high status and a high level of cultivation, otherwise they might have already started snatching things.

Jiang Lin said: "It does take some effort, so let's just make do with it for now."

Yan Hongchang and others' faces turned even greener after hearing this. You have all these magical weapons, and you're just using them?
Even the border army commander is not as ostentatious as you!

The spiritual bodies of weapons such as the Sky Scale Armor and the Sky-Breaking Sword did not show up.

Everyone knows that magic weapons have spirituality, but no one's magic weapon's spirituality can manifest a physical body.

The only similar thing might be the magical weapon Sumeru Wheel.

That Buddha is the manifestation of spirituality, but he is slightly different from the psychic divine body.

The Buddha can rely on the Sumeru Wheel to attack, but the psychic body can only rely on the object itself. In fact, it is not as good as the Buddha.

However, Jiang Lin did not feel disappointed. After all, the body of the Buddha was nourished by the flesh and blood of countless generations of Buddhists in the Buddhist country.

It is normal that the spiritual body cannot compare to this most yin and evil thing in the world.

However, Jiang Hengyu said that after exploring the world, they can exile the psychic bodies into it and let them practice on their own.

In this way, there will be a chance to achieve a true divine body, rather than the current vague figure.

As for how far he could grow, Jiang Hengyu couldn't say for sure, after all, he himself had just been born.

The group chatted as they headed towards Qingzhou.

The provincial capitals, local powerful clans, and provincial troops that he passed by on the way all knew about this.

They specially sent people to escort them, but it would be more accurate to say it was surveillance rather than escort.

Fifty thousand border troops is not a lot, but it is not too few either.

What's more, there is a scoundrel who destroyed the Lu family with his own strength. To this day, the powerful clans still cannot understand how Jiang Lin did it.

Jiang Lin at that time did not have so many good weapons, and the only thing he could rely on was the Sun-Chasing Bow.

Arrows are merely holy weapon grade.

Even if he had concentrated his Dao heart in advance, the three ancestors of the Lu family were not easy to deal with.

The lowest level has condensed the heart of Tao, while the highest level has already condensed a lot of Tao bones.

In addition, there are many masters in the old house. With such strength, even if a master with condensed Taoist bones goes there with a magic weapon, it would be difficult to win, let alone kill all the Lu family members.

Therefore, Jiang Lin’s fighting ability is a mystery to the powerful clans, and also a great deterrent.

Otherwise, how could they agree to let the daughter of Qingzhou Li family marry Jiang Lin as a means of reconciliation?

No one wants to push Jiang Lin into a corner, which might lead to another family massacre.

The key point is that although the powerful clans are united, they do not want to have any direct conflict with the court at this time.

The death of the Lu family, a family with a not-so-long history, is enough.

Therefore, the masters from the powerful clans who were conducting surveillance in the name of escort did not dare to say anything more.

After sending the person out of his territory, he went back quickly.

As long as Jiang Lin and the border troops do not take the initiative to cause trouble, the world will be peaceful.

As they walked along this path, the lieutenant generals and commanders were quite unhappy.

"I thought there would be a war, but these powerful clans are really like turtles hiding behind their heads."

"I'm afraid they were shocked by Lord Jiang's demeanor, and no one dared to step forward."

It’s no wonder that Jiang Lin’s magical weapons really terrified the people from the powerful clans.

Although blacksmiths are used to forge weapons, you, as a blacksmith, have too many good things.

Even if the powerful clans took out all their wealth, they would not have so many magical weapons.

When the powerful clans heard that Jiang Lin had magic-grade furnaces, hammers, scissors and other things in the Daqian blacksmith camp, they didn't know what to say for a moment.

The secret recipe of the precious weapon was sealed for so many years, and the best blacksmiths in the world were recruited. It took hundreds of years to let Jiang Lin, a fish that slipped through the net, and it turned out that the leak was so big?

"The Qingzhou Li family was the first to send people to recruit Jiang Lin, but when that failed, they ordered people to kill him. Not only did they fail, but Marshal Yu also took advantage of the opportunity to extort money from them."

"They are really too stupid. How could they not understand that letting a tiger go back into the mountains will lead to endless troubles?"

"Like the Lu family, the Li family also came to Daqian hundreds of years ago. It's not surprising that they are not as meticulous as us."

"It's a pity that Jiang Lin was allowed to grow up. Now it's hard to contain him."

People from the powerful clans talked among themselves and accused the Qingzhou Li family of doing things improperly.

But he didn't think about the fact that Jiang Lin was only at the peak of martial arts back then, but he was holding a bow and arrow and chasing Yuanwu Realm for more than 2,000 miles.

Several battalions of border troops followed behind him, and even General Yu was killed.

Who would dare to mess around in such a situation?

If it were them, the result would be the same.

Many of the soldiers on the border army do not have high martial arts skills.

The marching speed is naturally not too fast.

Moreover, Jiang Lin and Yan Hongchang were not in a hurry and just walked casually.

Whenever they arrived at a city, they would stop to rest and have a good meal.

The local government and powerful clans had to be treated well and they didn't dare to say a word.

Such a relaxing and comfortable day is not common for border troops.

Eating and drinking like this will naturally take some time.

It was twenty days later when we entered Qingzhou.

The journey was more than two thousand miles, and even Jiang Lin, who had reached the peak of martial arts at that time, did not take that long.

The people from the Qingzhou Li family have been waiting for a long time.

At the state boundary marker, people were sent to greet them.

This surprised Jiang Lin and Yan Hongchang. Logically speaking, the Qingzhou Li family should not be so polite after being offended, even if they did not fight with Jiang Lin.

"Lord Jiang, be careful to prevent fraud." Yan Hongchang reminded in a low voice.

Jiang Lin nodded slightly. He was not afraid of the powerful clans doing anything bad.

The protective ability of the Sky Scale Armor is not inferior to that of the Mingguang Shield, which is said to have the best defense.

Speaking of which, Jiang Lin has not yet repaired the Mingguang Shield and Jiaoyue Divine Spear that he took from the Lu family.

It’s not that I can’t, but that I don’t want to.

After all, the situation with the powerful clans has not yet been completely settled. If I repair the magic weapon, what if they take the opportunity to ask for it back?

Jiang Lin did not forget that he had killed all the people of the Lu family four hundred years ago.

The other powerful clans found two posthumous sons from somewhere and brought them over to inherit the family business and raised the family business up again.

To this day, no one knows whether the so-called posthumous child of the Lu family is real or not. Perhaps they were just two random women and children. Anyway, almost all the people in the Lu family are dead, and there is no one to prove it.

Speaking of this, Jiang Lin suddenly felt that Mrs. Lu was quite pitiful.

Obviously, the people killed before and after were the same group of people, but in the eyes of others, the Lu family suffered two disasters of extermination.

It is said that some people now believe that the location of the Lu family’s old house was not good and it was very unlucky.

To the point that up to now, no one is willing to help the Lu family clean up the ruins and bury the dead.

The corpses were left to be exposed to the wind and sun, and only some courageous gangsters who wanted to gain benefits would run over there.

You know what, they really found a lot of good things.

The things that Jiang Lin looked down upon were treasures that could be exchanged for at least dozens or even hundreds of taels of silver in the eyes of these low-level people in the underworld.

At this time, the people from the Qingzhou Li family had already approached.

The leader had a green beard and white face, and looked to be in his thirties or forties, but he had the cultivation level of the fourth level of the Divine Martial Realm.

Even if he was placed in the home of a powerful clan, he would be considered a big shot.

When this person came up to him, he looked at Jiang Lin with admiration in his eyes, and then regret.

Jiang Lin looked even more puzzled. The man bowed and said, "Master Jiang, Master Yan, I am Li Zhengming from the Qingzhou Li family. I am here to greet you on the orders of the clan leader."

"I have been very tired from the journey, so I brought some food with me. I hope you guys will accept it."

As he spoke, Li Zhengming waved his hand, and immediately hundreds of young and beautiful maids came to the front of the border troops with various foods, smiling and saying, "Please accept them, sir."

The border soldiers, who had eaten and drunk to their heart's content in many cities, were now just glancing at the chests and thighs of the maids unscrupulously, with no intention of taking the food.

Yan Hongchang said, "My brothers don't like to eat things given by others, so there's no need to waste time. As for the matter between Lord Jiang and your Li family, is it time to talk about it here?"

"This matter concerns the reputation of the Li family. It is not a trivial matter. Naturally, we need to explain it clearly to the Hui clan. My daughter specifically asked to see Lord Jiang."

Jiang Lin was stunned. The person in front of him was Li Qingluan's father?

Then the look of regret in his eyes just now...could it be that he really wanted me to be Li's son-in-law?

"The powerful clans are treacherous and treacherous and cannot be trusted." Jiang Lin thought to himself.

As Li Zhengming led the way, Jiang Lin thought of the jade pendant and took the opportunity to ask, "I heard that all members of the Li family carry a jade pendant with them?"

"Yes, it is this piece. Lord Jiang should have seen it." Li Zhengming took the jade pendant from his waist without any hesitation and handed it to Jiang Lin.

Jiang Lin took it and took a look, and sure enough, it was exactly the same as the one on his sister Jiang Xiu's body.

"This jade pendant is made of excellent material and represents the reputation of the Li family. Lord Li put it in my hands like this. Aren't you afraid that I won't return it and use the name of the Li family to do whatever I want?"

Li Zhengming laughed and said, "If Lord Jiang really wants to do things in the name of the Li family, then it's fine. It doesn't matter if you don't return the jade pendant."

"It seems that this jade pendant is not very valuable. Maybe Li has already scattered it all over the world." Jiang Lin threw the jade pendant back casually.

Li Zhengming took it in his hand and said with a smile: "That's wrong. Lord Jiang also said that the jade pendant represents the face of the Li family, so how could it be thrown away everywhere? If someone is seen holding this jade pendant, even if he is not from the Li family, he must have a great connection with our Li family."

Jiang Lin's heart was moved when he heard this, but he remained calm on the surface.

Li Zhengming's words seemed to have a hidden meaning. Could he be referring to his sister Jiang Xiu's identity?
Jiang Lin has confirmed again and again that his sister Jiang Xiu is indeed his biological daughter, and not Li's illegitimate child who is left alone.

Not only did his parents testify, but also many old neighbors from that time.

If we were really cheated, wouldn’t that mean everyone was colluding to lie?

However, when her sister got the jade pendant, she had not yet come into this world. Why did Li set up such a plan?
Jiang Lin did not continue asking. If he asked too much, he would easily be exposed.

It's better to say less when many things are not certain.

Li Zhengming was very talkative, and the topic mainly revolved around Jiang Lin, and his words were full of appreciation and respect for Jiang Lin.

He even advised her bluntly: "I, Li, did not do this because of Lu's sudden impulse, but because I really like Master Jiang's style and am willing to marry my daughter to him. After that, Master Jiang is still the Minister of Works, and there is no change."

Jiang Lin would never listen to such nonsense. It would be strange if the powerful clans had good intentions.

He refused righteously, leaving no room for negotiation.

Seeing that they were approaching Li's old house, Yan Hongchang looked back and exchanged glances with several lieutenant generals and commanders.

The military officers all understood what was going on and immediately retreated back to the army formation.

As soon as the people from the Qingzhou Li family try to do something unexpected, they will immediately deploy their battle formation.

Even if we cannot defeat him, we must delay time so that Yan Hongchang can have a chance to send a letter to the Marshal.

The border troops were rubbing their hands in preparation, their eyes looking fierce.

They eat what they should eat and take what they should take, but when it comes to killing, they will not be vague.

Li Zhengming seemed to sense the strong murderous aura, looked back, and then smiled at Yan Hongchang: "Master Yan, why do you have to be like this? How can I, the Li family, not be able to understand the situation?"

Yan Hongchang laughed and said, "I don't quite understand what Lord Li means. What did I do?"

He did not admit it, and Li Zhengming did not say much. He just led the two of them into the old house.

As for the border troops, they were stopped outside.

Seeing this, Jiang Lin stopped and said in a deep voice: "This is already the Li family's house. Whoever wants to see me, let her come."

Many members of the Li family in the house looked over.

Some were unhappy, some had no expression on their faces, and some kept their heads down as if it had nothing to do with them.

At this time, a clear and pleasant female voice was heard.

"I haven't seen you for many years, you are still as ruthless as ever. It's worth Qingluan's years of reading about you."
