Chapter 207 His Majesty Wants to Reduce the Power of the vassal states

Jiang Lin knew very well that the Blacksmith Camp was just a cover in today's incident.

Even if he hadn't chased the murderer for thousands of miles, the border troops would have found other excuses to come to Qingzhou.

It would be difficult for him to kill the old man of the fifth level of Yuanwu Realm in front of Li Zelin, so he simply didn't kill him.

What is more useful than killing someone is destroying their heart.

Don’t you, the Qingzhou Li family, love to disgust people? I’m better at it than you!
I've killed the man, I want the weapons, and you have to give me the silver!

When it comes to finding fault, I’ve seen more classic cases than you’ve ever heard of!

As for whether the Qingzhou Li family would retaliate afterwards, Jiang Lin believed that it would definitely not happen.

Yu Shuai is here today to find something to hold against you. Do you dare to touch even a hair on my head?
Having understood this, Jiang Lin had no scruples at all and acted as exaggerated as he could.

In other words, his imagination is a little lacking, at least he is not as good at calculating as Xu Kaijin.

Li Zelin's face darkened when he heard this. How dare a mere ninth-rank martial artist blackmail others like this?
And he's blackmailing people in front of him, the third master of the Li family, who is at the Divine Martial Realm!
The one who is cheating is the Qingzhou Li family!

Bold!

"Hahaha! Interesting, interesting. I like this guy. Not bad, not bad." Yu Shuai laughed out loud, looked at Li Zelin, and said, "Did you hear about the compensation our border troops want?"

Li Zelin's face was gloomy: "Are you joking, Yu Shuai?"

Yu Shuai's smile suddenly stopped, and then he felt extremely cold and an indescribable huge pressure instantly surged towards Li Zelin.

"Do you think I'm joking?"

Of course not, you are here to cheat people!
To be precise, it was intentional to force the Qingzhou Li family to become enraged and do things that they shouldn't do.

Li Zelin had a clear mind. On the surface, there were only a few thousand border troops here, but with just one word from Marshal Yu, millions of border troops could gather here within ten days.

As for the border, General Ling is in charge. Although no battle reports have been sent back, the powerful have their own information channels.

The allied forces of Dachen and Daliang marched straight in and invaded within a thousand miles of Daqian, but have now been surrounded by General Ling, with heavy casualties.

General Ling's goal was clear: to swallow up this coalition force in one swoop, and then take advantage of the situation to counterattack Dachen and Daliang, expand the territory for Daqian again, and take down the two neighboring dynasties.

too dark.

It is said that the rebellion of Xuanhua Dao caused the border army to be defeated and lost thousands of miles of land. What was the result?

The Xuanhua Dao was being besieged on the hill by the Miedao Camp, and the coalition forces of Dachen and Daliang were on the verge of destruction, so the losses of the border troops could be ignored.

Moreover, during the retreat of the border troops, all the city lords and local government troops were conscripted.

Those who are disobedient will be beheaded and replaced by obedient ones.

The powerful are not fools, they have seen through the nature of this war.

Destroy Xuanhua Dao, Dachen and Daliang, and take control of a thousand miles of border areas.

This strategy kills three birds with one stone, is both amazing and terrifying.

There were already two smaller and powerful clans that had been taken down in a swift manner in this war because they had offended the border troops.

The specific situation is still unclear at the moment, but what is certain is that the territories of those two companies no longer exist.

The other powerful clans have not yet reacted and have not been able to immediately unite to come up with a response plan. Some people simply feel that this defeat is not that complicated.

It's all possible speculation.

Although Emperor Shun kept a low profile and used himself as bait to kill the core members of Xuanhua Dao, it did not mean that Daqian was capable of dealing with all the powerful clans at the same time.

Therefore, before this sign actually appears, we should try to get along peacefully with the imperial court. This is also the reason why Li Zelin has to make concessions again and again.

Yu Shuai's martial arts skills are extremely terrifying. Li Zelin is already at the second level of the Divine Martial Realm, but he feels like a small boat in the stormy sea that may be torn to pieces at any time.

He gritted his teeth, endured the huge pressure, and said with difficulty: "I was confused for a moment and spoke rudely. Please forgive me, Marshal Yu."

Jiang Lin said, "If an apology is useful, why do we need the Border Army? Just compensate with something that Marshal Yu would like."

Li Zelin wanted to tear him into pieces, but he didn't dare to make any unnecessary moves. Instead, he nodded quickly: "Okay! We'll pay!"

If you keep asking for more and more conditions and refuse to agree, who knows what outrageous conditions will be put forward next.

After hearing this, Marshal Yu stopped releasing his pressure and a faint smile appeared on his face. He said, "That's right. There is no conflict of interest between your clans and the border troops. Why make a fuss over such a small matter? Let's just leave it at that for today. Don't just stand there, pack up and go back. Look at the commotion you've caused. It's really outrageous."

Jiang Lin went back and handed the broken sword to the lieutenant general, saying, "I'm sorry, the sword is broken. I'll compensate you with a new one later."

The lieutenant general was delighted and offered to pay three hundred weapons in compensation for every one he lost. If he had known about this good news earlier, he would have brought all the weapons of the entire battalion.

Xu Kaijin licked his lips and said with a grin, "Master Jiang, do we have a share of that 100 million taels of silver?"

"Ten thousand taels?" Jiang Lin was surprised. Where did so much silver come from?
"You see, one person loses tens of thousands of taels, a hundred people lose tens of millions of taels, and a thousand people lose hundreds of millions of taels, right?" Xu Kaijin said.

Jiang Lin's eyelids twitched when he heard this. After a while, he said, "Master Xu, you should leave the accounting to professionals."

"Ah? Is the calculation wrong? I'm very good at accounting. I will never make a mistake in the calculation no matter how many heads I've chopped off!" said Xu Kaijin.

Qi Hongwu came over and said, "Jiang Lin, go with Yu Shuai. He wants to talk to you."

"Yes." Jiang Lin responded quickly and ran to Yu Shuai.

Marshal Yu glanced at him and said with a smile as he walked: "Are you entering Liao Mingxu's Nanling camp?"

"Yes."

"That guy is one of the few smart men in our border army. You won't suffer any loss if you follow him. Besides, your grandfather Wei Xiangzhong was once a captain of the Nanling camp. We are all one of us." Marshal Yu said.

"There are many smart people in the border army, with Marshal Yu being the smartest. As for our own people... as long as they have the border army badge, they are all our own people in my opinion." Jiang Lin said.

Yu Shuai was startled, then he laughed and said to Qi Hongwu: "See, this kid's mouth skills are much better than his fists."

This statement can neither be considered derogatory nor complimenting. It can only be regarded as a joke made by an old man to his grandchildren.

No one will care, they will just envy.

There are not many people in the world who can make Master Yu joke like this.

"But I don't like to just flatter people. Since you said that I am smart, you have to give some advice, otherwise you will be beaten with a military stick." Marshal Yu said.

Jiang Lin said without hesitation: "Using the Southern Blacksmith Camp as a lever to strike the powerful clans, it is a legitimate reason. Isn't that smart enough?"

"That's all?" Yu Shuai said, "I wanted to give you fifty military sticks, but now I'll give you half as much."

Jiang Lin thought about it and said hesitantly: "There are some things I don't know if I can say them."

"You'll know if it's possible only after you tell me." Yu Shuai said.

Jiang Lin took a deep breath and said, "I think this is just an opportunity."

"Opportunity? What opportunity?"

"Your Majesty wants to reduce the number of vassal states."
