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

Chapter 380: Thoughts of the Powerful Clans

With so many women acting as tailors, even though Jiang Lin's physique was much larger than that of an ordinary person, she was able to quickly make two sets of clothes.

One set was left in Sangzhou in case of emergency.

Jiang Lin wore new clothes and new shoes and moved around a few times.

"What do you think, sir? If there is anything inappropriate, I will ask them to change it." said the shopkeeper.

"Very good, there is nothing to change." Jiang Lin said: "Give them the fabrics and wages as they should be, and send them some food."

"I will settle their wages right now, and I will not pay them less than a penny!"

"We must also explore the trade routes as soon as possible. While there are not many people in Sangzhou, we should try to make this place our own."

In Jiang Lin's opinion, if the powerful clans can occupy so many states, it is natural that they can also occupy the Watchtower.

What's more, it was he who destroyed Sangzhou's hard practice. It was only right for Zuowanglou to gain more benefits.

After giving some instructions, Jiang Lin finally said solemnly: "I don't want a second Kuxiu to appear here, especially in the Watchtower!"

"My subordinate understands!"

Then, Jiang Lin took the strange red fire and flew away from the Zuowang Tower.

After the shopkeeper and his men watched him leave, he turned around and said solemnly, "From now on, Zuowang Tower will develop in Sangzhou with all our strength! My Lord said that if you want silver, we will give you silver; if you want weapons, we will give you weapons; if you want elixirs, we will give you elixirs! But remember, the people you recruit must be upright and reliable. Those with bad conduct will not be recruited! If anyone brings disaster to Zuowang Tower, don't blame me for turning my back on you!"

"Let's all go!"

The guys immediately responded and dispersed.

While exploring the trade routes, he began to recruit members for Zuowanglou.

Although Sangzhou was once the world of ascetics, there are still many martial arts masters hiding in the city and struggling to survive, unwilling to leave their hometown.

When no one knows that the ascetic has disappeared, sitting in the watchtower, close to the water and the tower, will be the first to see the moon and will definitely gain the upper hand.

To Jiang Lin, these are all trivial matters and he won't pay too much attention to them.

After leaving Sangzhou, he traveled quickly and soon arrived in Hongzhou.

When passing by the Chu family residence, Jiang Lin found that it was deserted and couldn't help feeling strange.

When I came here, I saw with my own eyes that this yard was very bustling. Why is it so quiet today?

Jiang Lin didn't care too much and continued flying towards the blacksmith camp.

Soon, we saw a group of people flying in the air or galloping on horseback in front.

A fourth-rank Divine Martial Realm warrior turned around and saw Jiang Lin following closely in mid-air. He immediately stopped and called out, "But is it Lord Jiang Lin, the Left Envoy?"

Seeing that the other party seemed to know his identity, Jiang Lin immediately flew over and asked curiously: "Do you recognize me?"

"Lord Jiang is famous, and his portrait has spread all over the world. Naturally, he should recognize him." The Chu family's Divine Martial Realm master glanced at the direction Jiang Lin came from and asked, "Where did Lord Jiang come from?"

"Sangzhou." Jiang Lin replied.

Chu's Shenwujing face changed slightly. This time the whole family left Hongzhou for refuge because the old man said that a great terror had occurred in Sangzhou, so they had to avoid the limelight first.

He lowered his voice slightly and asked, "Master Jiang, do you know what happened in Sangzhou?"

"Something happened?" Jiang Lin looked at the crowd of people, young and old, men and women, the elderly, the weak, women and children, running below and vaguely guessed something.

He also deliberately lowered his voice: "Could it be that you also know what happened there, so you are going to..."

"The old master ordered..." Chu Shishenwujing just said it, and then he felt that it sounded a bit embarrassing for the whole family to take refuge, so he changed his words and said, "The family is just going out for fun, it's nothing."

"I see." Jiang Lin could tell at a glance that he was lying, but he had no intention of exposing him. He kept his voice low and said, "Then it's the right time for you to leave. If you leave a few days later, you might get into trouble."

Chu's Shenwu Realm was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help asking, "What does Lord Jiang mean by this?"

Jiang Lin coughed a few times and said, "It's hard to say. After all, I am a fourth-rank official of the Ministry of Works. I came to Sangzhou specifically for the Ministry of Works..."

At this point, Jiang Lin suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Look at my mouth. I almost told everything. I really deserve to be beaten! If the Minister knew about this, I'm afraid he would fine me several years' salary."

Chu's Shenwu Realm immediately said: "It's just a few years of salary. If Lord Jiang is willing to teach you, let alone a few years, we Chu can also give you a hundred years of salary."

"I was born a blacksmith, and I don't really value silver, but I heard that the Chu family has a lot of excellent blacksmithing materials..."

Chu's Shenwu Realm could understand what he meant, and said quickly: "Blame me, blame me, how could I forget that Lord Jiang is still in charge of the blacksmith camp. Come on, get some blacksmithing materials and send them to Lord Jiang immediately!"

Jiang Lin said hurriedly: "How can this be so embarrassing? Well, just pick a few thousand kinds at random. You won't need too many."

Chu's Shenwu realm eyelids twitched when he heard it. Thousands of kinds, you really dare to speak.

Even when Hong Shuai and Ling Shuai came to ask for it a few days ago, they didn't dare to ask us for so much directly. However, Jiang Lin's mysteriousness aroused his curiosity. In comparison, some blacksmithing materials were nothing surprising.

Not long after, someone brought over 1,500 kinds of blacksmithing materials. Jiang Lin only took a glance and knew that many of them were ones he had used before.

But the quality of these materials is quite good. Jiang Lin put the package on his back with a smile, and then lowered his voice and started talking nonsense to Chu's Shenwu Realm.

"Something big is going to happen in Sangzhou. You should stay away from it. I can't tell you exactly what it is, but it's always better to stay away from it."

Chu's Divine Martial Realm took out a bag from his bosom and stuffed it into Jiang Lin's hand, saying, "The bag contains the Xuyang Pill refined by my Chu's Alchemist. It is the best pill in the world. After taking one pill, even if you are a Divine Martial Realm Seventh Rank cultivator, you can quickly recover all your cultivation. Sir Jiang, please give me some more advice."

Jiang Lin glanced at the bag, curled his lips and said nothing.

Chu's Shenwu Realm saw that he was not impressed, so he simply gritted his teeth and asked someone to send another thousand kinds of materials, all of which were of very good quality.

After receiving the second package, Jiang Lin smiled a little more, and then whispered: "The court wants to destroy Ku Xiu. This has been planned for a long time and has been carried out in secret. But it will be done in the name of the Ministry of Industry. Maybe they will say that it was me who did it. You should understand the meaning of this."

Chu's Shenwu Realm's expression changed slightly, and he nodded quickly: "I understand! Thank you, Lord Jiang, for your guidance!"

"Let's not waste any more time. I have important business to attend to, so I'll go first." After Jiang Lin said this, he immediately activated his cultivation and flew away from high altitude.

The Divine Martial Realm master of the Chu family looked at his departing figure, then he landed and whispered beside a carriage, “Old Master, the matter is clear. I’m afraid that Dao Wujing was the work of the imperial court.”

In the carriage, the old man's voice came out: "I have long suspected that there is no other country in the world except the Daqian court that has such ability. No wonder the aura of the True Buddha disappeared. It seems that Your Majesty wants to keep the country safe and secure before planning other things. He is indeed very cunning and has never revealed a single word."

"You mean, Your Majesty wants to destroy Ku Xiu and then deal with us?"

"What else? The existence of our powerful clan has prevented the Daqian Dynasty from achieving its goal for hundreds of years. Your Majesty has great ambitions, so how could he miss this opportunity?"

As the old man spoke, he suddenly snorted, "Just one Taoist warrior is not enough for our powerful clan to really sit and wait for death. If we really push him to the limit, it is still unknown who will win!"

The Shenwu Realm beside the carriage thought for a moment and said, "In that case, I don't think the court will take action against us immediately."

"Why?"

"If Your Majesty really gave the credit for destroying Kuxiu to the Ministry of Works afterwards, or even as the Left Secretary said, gave it to a fourth-rank official like him, it is obviously to tell us that everything is fine for the time being. If you really want to take action, there is no need to hide it."

"That does make sense." The old man hummed, "Then let's see how His Majesty reacts after this incident. If we can really settle this matter in the name of the Ministry of Works, there will be room for maneuver."

At this time, high in the sky, an eighth-grade Yuanwu Realm warrior was rushing towards Sangzhou.

The man was wearing a dark light armor. He flew high in the sky and only glanced at the Chu clan members below him. His eyes were cold and he had no intention of staying.

Chu's Shenwu Realm looked up and snorted, "It's Shang Yusi's people. It seems that what the Zuo Sishi said is correct. Even Shang Yusi is here, this must be true!"

The Shangyu Division is the most special department around the emperor.

They are responsible for intelligence and assassinations, and are only answerable to the emperor. When they take action, they will not have any scruples even if a first-rank official stands in front of them.

Among the forty-eight departments of Daqian, this is the most terrifying group of people.

He rarely shows up, but when he does, there is always something big to say.

"What a pity! That ambitious Majesty didn't know that people die for money and birds die for food. With only 2,500 kinds of iron materials, the blacksmith told us such a big secret."

The old man laughed and said, "Go, pass this message to the other families, stay away from Sangzhou, and don't conflict with the court, lest they take the opportunity to catch you."

"Yes!"

Chu's Shenwu Realm responded and immediately flew up and flew towards other states.

In the carriage, after a long period of silence, the old man's voice slowly sounded.

There was a hint of disdain and deep unhappiness in that voice.

"Although I have ambitions, I don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is!"

"How can you get your hands on something that even Daozu can't control? You are disturbing the world and making it uneasy!"

At this time, Jiang Lin was walking towards the blacksmith camp in a very good mood.

I got more than 2,000 kinds of good materials and several Xuyang Pills for free.

Even if you can't use it yourself, you can still give it to others as a favor.

"I don't know how much the powerful clan will believe it. But even if they only believe it a little bit, it's good."

Jiang Lin had a smile on his face. At the beginning, the Duan family of Xunzhou wanted to use one thing and a few words to cause a dispute between him and the court.

Jiang Lin was now using his own method to return the favor, and he felt much better.
