Chapter 188 A big favor
Jiang Lin couldn't see Blacksmith Qi's frustration, and said in a deep voice: "Master Qi, don't worry, one day, Blacksmith will be respected by others."
Blacksmith Qi smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, when the Da Qian was first established, our blacksmiths were not like what we are now. We were admired by everyone wherever we went. We were the number one in the forty-eight divisions of the Da Qian!"
Ranking first among the forty-eight divisions of the Great Bureau, an eighth-grade secretary must walk with more dignity than a third-grade official.
But when the Patriarch created three magical weapons and became a saint in his body, everything changed.
As time passed, the powerful took control of the blacksmiths, and no one like the Patriarch ever appeared again.
"If one day there is another figure like the Patriarch, maybe we blacksmiths can rise again."
Blacksmith Qi looked at Jiang Lin, full of regret.
Jiang Lin is the most talented person he has ever seen, no one. It is hard to say whether he can compare with the ancestor, but it is still very possible for the blacksmith to mention his status.
It's a pity that the powerful came too quickly and gave him too little time to grow.
Jiang Lin remained silent, and Blacksmith Qi also felt his mouth was very dry.
"I'll go back to the shop first and see if they are working." Blacksmith Qi said.
In fact, I want to change places and change my mood.
The longer he looked at Jiang Lin, the more painful he felt.
Jiang Lin stood there and watched Blacksmith Qi leave. After a long time, he turned around and walked towards the house.
Not long after, Jiang Lin came to Old Man Wei's house.
Just as he was about to raise his hand to knock on the door, the door was already opened.
Even though he has been away from the frontier army for more than 20 years, he is always alert. No matter when and where he is, his ears are sharper than those of a rabbit.
Seeing Jiang Lin standing at the door, seemingly distressed, Old Man Wei moved away.
Jiang Lin did not follow him in. He stood at the door and looked at the old man. After a moment, he said: "If I don't join the frontier army, I will go to the rich and powerful's family to work as a private craftsman. Someone came today, it is Qingzhou Li family."< br>
Old Man Wei looked at him, his cloudy eyes suddenly burst into light, which was filled with angry murderous intent.
"Qingzhou Li family?"
"Yeah."
"Not going."
"Okay."
Old Man Wei looked at him and moved his lips, which turned into a sigh after a while.
From the first time he got acquainted with Jiang Lin, he had always wanted to protect this young man from the blood and misery.
No matter how familiar Liao Mingxu was with him, Old Man Wei never backed down on this matter.
But today, knowing that the powerful people were coming, Old Man Wei knew that he could no longer hold on.
No one in the Foundry Department can save Jiang Lin, not even Secretary Yan Tianrong.
"Aren't you afraid of death?" Old Man Wei asked.
"Afraid." Jiang Lin asked, "But will he definitely die?"
"That won't happen." Old Man Wei said.
The border troops said it was a meat grinder and a hell on earth, but there were many who survived.
Otherwise, where would these military attaches be?
Moreover, the blacksmiths who accompany the army do not need to go into battle to kill the enemy. They spend more time repairing weapons in the border cities.
In addition, Dagan's frontier troops were very powerful and rarely lost battles, so the danger was not particularly great.
Of course, it can't be compared to staying in the blacksmith camp.
Old Man Wei's expression gradually became solemn, or in other words, his heart became firm.
"If you don't want to be shackled by the powerful, then go to the border army and leave the rest to me."
Jiang Lin didn't know what the other things he was talking about were referring to, but after a conversation with Old Man Wei, he finally made up his mind.
He is unwilling to be coopted by the powerful and be like a caged bird who doesn't know the future.
Then go to the frontier army and get a glimpse of the whole situation. From the temperament of Liao Mingxu and others, we can see that in the frontier army, we still have a lot of freedom.
"Then I'm going?" Jiang Lin said.
"Go ahead."
Jiang Lin nodded, turned around and walked a few steps before stopping.
He turned back and warned seriously: "Don't do anything stupid, otherwise I might as well go to the rich and powerful's house." Old Man Wei heard his worries, and a faint smile appeared on his face: "I'm just old. , not stupid yet, knows what to do.”
Jiang Lin hummed, then turned around again and didn't look back.
Looking at the young man's back, Old Man Wei returned to the house and opened a wooden box placed in the corner.
His house is kept clean all year round, and the box is wiped every day without interruption.
After opening the box, the contents inside are very simple.
A set of old and incomplete armor, and a long sword with one third of it broken off.
Taking out the armor that still had dark brown blood stains on it, Old Man Wei untied his clothes and slowly put on the armor.
Then he picked up the broken knife, hung it on his waist very preciously, and stepped out.
The blacksmith masters who came back from outside were all surprised when they saw the old man Wei wearing a helmet.
"What is Master Wei doing?"
Old Man Wei did not answer, and only when facing Jiang Lin did he talk more.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
and others, still few words.
The few blacksmith masters didn't care about his attitude. They just stared at him curiously for a long time, looking at each other in confusion.
An old man wearing such a worn-out armor is going to fight?
At this time, Jiang Lin had returned to Nanling Camp and met Liao Mingxu.
"I am willing to join the frontier army." Jiang Lin said straightforwardly.
He did not say that Liao Mingxu must be guaranteed to be able to withstand the pressure of powerful people. There are some things that others will do without saying anything.
If others don't do it, or can't do it, it's useless to say it.
At least for Liao Mingxu, that's the case.
Although he had taken the initiative to recruit many times before and had high expectations in his heart, when Jiang Lin said he was willing to join the frontier army, Liao Mingxu not only did not smile, but his expression was unusually serious.
"Have you made an agreement with Mr. Wei?"
"It's agreed."
"Joining the border army is easy and you can't leave."
"Know."
Liao Mingxu looked at him for a moment, and then shouted: "Cai Yanting!"
"My subordinates are here!" Dusi Cai Yanting immediately stood up with the same serious expression.
"Go to the Ministry of War immediately and write a document to add Jiang Lin's name to the Nanling camp!"
"Yes!"
Cai Yanting immediately turned around and ran out.
Liao Mingxu shouted again: "Song Tianjiu, Xu Fenglei!"
The two guards stood up, cupped their hands and said: "My subordinates are here!"
"The whole camp is on alert! No one is allowed to enter or leave without the orders of this general. Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed!"
"Yes!"
Song Tianjiu and Xu Fenglei turned around and ran out, calling their Qianhu and Baihu to issue orders respectively.
Thousands of sergeants immediately gathered and got ready.
"The general has an order. From now on, no one is allowed in or out!"
"I have guarded the gate of the camp. No matter whether he is a powerful person or a cat or a dog, if he dares to break into the camp, I will kill him!"
"Yes!"
The shouts of the sergeants and the sound of armor clashing came one after another.
Liao Mingxu slapped Jiang Lin on the shoulder with a heavy palm, his eyes steady and his tone firm.
"After joining the border army, no one can touch you except us! If anyone touches you, I will kill him!"
Looking at the military commander in front of him, who was much older than himself, Jiang Lin knew that the favor this time was too great.
Looking for more orders, I will write in the future
