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

Chapter 309: What is Honor and Distinction (Additional Chapter 5 for Guo Jiuxing Silver Alliance)

It’s not that Qin Xingzhi has never seen border troops. On the contrary, he has dealt with them many times.

Especially after the recent establishment of the Destroying Dao Camp, he had been furious several times.

It was only natural for the border troops to command the local government troops to encircle and suppress Xuanhua Dao in the name of destroying the Dao camp.

As a result, after the border troops arrived, they directly withdrew most of the military officers of the provincial army and replaced them all with their own people.

They said that they would withdraw after wiping out the Xuanhua Dao, but in fact, most of the border troops left, but a small number of people remained to continue serving as military officers.

Even if he only holds an official position no higher than that of a captain in the outer camp, this has already crossed the bottom line of the powerful clan.

But these people never cause any trouble. They just do whatever they are told to do, just like nails wedged into the territory of the powerful clans.

So much so that even if you want to remove him, you won't find any opportunity.

As for means such as assassination, the powerful clans really don't dare to use them.

These border troops may look honest at the moment, but even a fool knows that they are waiting for an opportunity.

If the powerful clans really dare to use unacceptable means, then Daqian's hundreds of millions of border troops will be delighted.

So on weekdays, Qin Xingzhi almost left the military officers of the border troops alone.

As long as they do not overstep their authority, this part of the government troops will be considered as abandoned.

Now, a fourth-rank official of the Ministry of Works used almost the same methods as the border troops, and even the tone was very similar, which made Qin Xingzhi think more.

He glanced at the people in the Watchtower who were still chained by the fine gold chains. Could these be baits?

Thinking of this possibility, Qin Xingzhi's heart sank.

At this time, Fei Jichun had been shocked by Jiang Lin.

Ling Shuai promised to give this man a second-rank general?

Although he was a third-rank provincial inspector who could enter the imperial court, he basically stayed in Chenzhou on weekdays. Unless there was something important that required him to meet the emperor in person, he would generally not leave.

The news about Jiang Lin on the frontier battlefield was mostly circulated among the Ministry of War and the border troops. Many people in Kyoto also knew about it, but they did not take the initiative to spread it.

The main reason was that those who had witnessed Jiang Lin's sword strike were still fighting in Dachen. Marshal Yu, the only one who returned, naturally would not spread the matter everywhere.

As for talent, the fewer people who know about it, the better. Otherwise, what will happen if everyone is like Ling Shuai, eagerly waiting to snatch the person away?

Seeing that Jiang Lin did not look like he was faking it, Fei Jichun naturally did not dare to take any more risks.

It would be fine if I won the bet, but what if I lost?
Having worked hard to climb to his current position, he still cherishes his life.

Seeing that Fei Jichun remained silent, Jiang Lin looked at Qin Xingzhi, as if waiting for his answer.

Regardless of whether Qin Xingzhi agrees or not, Jiang Lin will definitely take Tian Daheng and others away. At worst, they will join the border army as he said just now.

No matter how powerful the clans are, Jiang Lin doesn't believe they would dare to retaliate against a second-rank general!

At this moment, a loud shout came from the sky: "Stop!"

A powerful aura was approaching rapidly. Jiang Lin looked up and saw several figures rushing towards him.

Qin Xingzhi heaved a sigh of relief at once, because the person who came was none other than the Jinzhou Qin family's master of the Divine Martial Realm.

The leader had reached the fourth level of the Divine Martial Realm, and following him were two who had just entered the Divine Martial Realm, and four who were at the peak of the Yuan Martial Realm.

Such a lineup is not considered very strong, but this is Jinzhou after all, the territory of the powerful Xie family.

If a fight really breaks out, one call will attract a hundred responses.

As soon as these people landed, dozens of people came from afar. They were the people from the Xie family of Chenzhou and the Shangguan family of Qinzhou.

The masters of the Divine Martial Realm from the three powerful clans gathered together and looked at each other.

The Qin family’s fourth-grade Divine Martial Realm warrior is named Qin Shuheng.

At another time, he would definitely ask the two families what they were doing there.

But now that Qin Xingzhi had a knife at his neck, he had to deal with this matter first.

"No matter who you are, you can't act wildly in front of our Xie family!" Qin Shuheng scolded.

Xie Yangming said at the side: "Brother Shuheng, don't waste your breath. This man destroyed Wushuang Fort in Chenzhou, and then went to Qinzhou to destroy Tianhuo Fort. He is so bold that you can't scare him with just a few words."

Shangguan Leju followed up and said, "No need to waste time talking to him, just capture him first!"

Qin Xingzhi cursed inwardly after hearing this, "Shangguan is such a piece of shit. Can't you see that I still have a knife at my neck? Do you want me to die?"
Shangguan Leju really didn't care whether Qin Xingzhi lived or died, since he was not a member of their family anyway.

But Jiang Lin must be taken back and punished, otherwise no one will dare to act wildly in front of Shangguan’s door in the future.

Qin Shuheng frowned. Qin Xingzhi was his nephew, so he naturally couldn't just sit back and do nothing.

But after hearing what Xie Yangming and Shangguan Leju said, it seemed that this strange young master of the Divine Martial Realm had caused a lot of trouble, and it was unlikely that it would be resolved today.

Qin Shuheng immediately stepped forward and, together with Xie Yangming and Shangguan Leju, surrounded Jiang Lin.

Six first-grade Shenwu Realm warriors formed the second circle, followed by dozens of peak Yuanwu Realm warriors forming the third circle.

With such a luxurious lineup, even if a fifth-grade Divine Martial Realm warrior came, he might not be able to defeat them.

But Jiang Lin was not afraid at all. Being surrounded by people was exactly what he wanted.

It would be fine if these people are willing to talk some sense, but if not, then we'll have to see if they can withstand that punch!

In this world, if a punch is thrown, everything within a few hundred meters will be completely wiped out.

Even a fourth-level Divine Martial Realm cultivator cannot stop it!
This is Jiang Lin’s trump card, but once it is used, even if he can kill the people in front of him, he will probably not be able to leave Jinzhou.

Seeing that they seemed to be about to take action, Qin Xingzhi hurriedly said, "This man has an old relationship with General Ling of the Border Army. He said that General Ling promised him to be a second-rank general!"

He said this because he wanted Xie Yangming and others to be cautious and avoid getting themselves killed. Everyone around was slightly stunned. The second-rank general that Ling Shuai promised?

It turns out that he has a background, no wonder he dared to cause such a huge disaster!
However, this did not stop them from retreating. Xie Yangming said coldly, "Let alone a second-rank general, even if General Ling came in person, would he kill all three of us?"

These words immediately made the others realize that, yes, when the three powerful families joined together, their power was no weaker than that of a general.

Even if Ling Shuai is present in person, he has to give them an explanation!
As for the second-rank general, he is indeed a bit tricky, but as long as you don't kill him, there shouldn't be any big problems.

Knowing this, the three of them immediately took a step forward together, their cultivation bursting out with terrifying aura.

Even though Jiang Lin was not afraid of these people, he still felt a little pressure in his heart. He immediately pressed the long knife towards Qin Xingzhi's neck and said coldly: "Are you really not afraid that I will chop him?"

"If you kill him, we can still talk it out even if we find the Marshal." Shangguan Leju spoke lightly, as if to say that you'd better kill him quickly.

Qin Xingzhi cursed in his heart again. They are all from powerful clans. Don’t they understand the principle of interdependent relationships?

But he also knew that in the system of powerful clans, people like himself who were promoted to be governors seemed glorious, but in fact their status was only average.

Above him, there are masters of the Divine Martial Realm like Qin Shuheng who is in charge of foreign affairs, and above him are the core descendants of the entire clan, and even the clan leader.

Even if he was really hacked to death, some people might feel sad for him, but the family would definitely immediately push someone else to take this position.

At this point, even Qin Shuheng fell silent.

The unity of the powerful clans cannot be just lip service.

When someone wants to insult the glory of a powerful clan, no matter which family you belong to, you must sacrifice your own interests without hesitation for the sake of the overall situation.

The Qin family wants to do this, the Xie family wants to do this, and the Shangguan family also wants to do this.

This is the important reason why the powerful clans, although they clearly control the power of the state government and can compete with the imperial court, have always remained standing.

Seeing these three people taking up their positions, Jiang Lin narrowed his eyes slightly at the oppressive feeling of the fourth level of the Divine Martial Realm.

His left hand was clenched into a fist, and his punch was ready to strike.

As for what will happen after this punch, there is no need to think about it now, but no matter what, Jiang Lin will not allow his life to be controlled by others!

If anyone wants to do this, be prepared to be killed by him!

"Boy, someone has to teach you some truths. Don't say that you are not a general now. Even if you are, you can't easily provoke the powerful clans!"

Xie Yangming spoke in a grim voice and drew out his mid-grade Yuanbing sword.

The weapon he used was even better than the one Yu Shuai had used.

However, this person is not a top leader of the Xie family in Chenzhou.

From this we can see that the powerful clans have controlled the blacksmithing for so many years and have accumulated a lot of experience.

If not for this, the border troops' battle formations would have been more powerful and Daqian's territory would have been more vast.

At this moment, a voice full of disdain and a bit of injustice was heard.

"The powerful clans cannot be easily provoked, but my men can be used? Try to touch him!"

A powerful pressure descended, shocking the three fourth-grade Divine Martial Realm warriors. They looked up quickly and saw Yu Shuai falling from the sky and landing next to Jiang Lin.

Although he only released the cultivation of the fifth level of the Divine Martial Realm, but as a general in the army who had fought for many years and killed more than a million people, even if he just had a bloody murderous aura, it was enough to suppress these people and make them unable to move!

The guard at the Yuanwu realm, who had a lower level of cultivation, blushed and then spat out a mouthful of blood.

Not to mention them, even the six first-grade Divine Martial Realm warriors looked pale at this moment.

The only three who were relatively better were Xie Yangming, Shangguan Leju and Qin Shuheng.

Their cultivation was high enough that they could barely hold on.

Jiang Lin was a little surprised. Why did Yu Shuai come?

Little did he know that after he left the Southern Blacksmith Camp, the person who was sent back to report the news immediately informed Zheng Qiran of the matter.

Without saying a word, Zheng Qiran ran to Gupi Lane to ask to see General Yu.

Others did not know the relationship between Jiang Lin and Zuowang Tower, but they could not hide it from Marshal Yu. Even the battle in front of Leiying Fort had already been reported to the Ministry of War.

When Marshal Yu heard this, he immediately set out for Jinzhou and arrived just in time.

Perhaps sensing Jiang Lin's doubts, Marshal Yu turned around and said, "You seem quite smart and cautious on weekdays. You refused to join the border army even when asked to. How come you lose your temper when you see a few dead people?"

These words sounded somewhat reproachful. Jiang Lin remained silent, and then replied, "Those are not just a few dead people. They are my brothers, just like Brother Liao and the others."

Yu Shuai was slightly startled, and then looked at Jiang Lin seriously.

In order to save Liao Mingxu, Jiang Lin once rushed thousands of miles to help.

Now, for a few insignificant people who are not worth mentioning in the eyes of many people, he also dares to cause trouble for the powerful clans.

Should we say this guy is smart or stupid?

But Marshal Yu said nothing, only said: "Okay, I understand now. In your eyes, whether it is a general or a commoner, there is no difference, right?"

This statement is half positive and half negative.

He praised Jiang Lin for his loyalty and fairness, but at the same time he also blamed him for not distinguishing between superiors and subordinates. How could a dignified fourth-rank Zuo Si Shi, a well-known figure in the border army, be lumped together with those common people?

Jiang Lin was silent for a few seconds, then replied: "There is still a difference."

“You live better than them.”
