Zhutian: Starting from the Space-Time Merchant

Chapter 189 Heading to Bianliang City! (Bonus chapter by Silver Alliance Leader Nuanyang1314)

Inside the Liujiasi Camp of the Eastern Route Army.

The Jin soldiers, kneeling on the ground, recounted the events of the previous battle one by one.

Kneeling before Namuru's corpse, Wanyan Zongwang examined the blood-stained bullet in his hand.

"You've followed me through countless life-and-death battles for years, and you've survived so many bloody fights, yet you're dying here."

Gripping the bullet tightly in his hand, Wanyan Zongwang stood up and instructed, "Have his son take over his Meng'an."

“Give his son another twenty Song women, so that he may have more brave warriors.”

"As for that strange man..."

Wanyan Zongwang narrowed his eyes. "Find him and kill him!"

Namulu was a Meng'an under Wanhu directly under Wanyan Zongwang, and it was both morally and logically necessary to avenge him.

At this time, the Jin Dynasty was at the peak of its national power, invincible throughout East Asia.

Those who dare to challenge them head-on must be completely eliminated.

As soon as the Second Prince gave the order, a large number of Jurchen cavalry surged out and rushed in all directions to search for Lin Dao's whereabouts.

They underestimated the car's driving ability; by this time, the forest road had already traveled south to the vicinity of Luguan Town in Weishi County.

This place is quite a distance from Bianliang City.

After finding a secluded place to settle Li Shishi, Lin Dao set off back to the modern world.

After boarding the plane in South Africa and flying all the way back to Haicheng, I saw the armor I had commissioned at a high price in the warehouse.

The complete set of armor is divided into five parts: helmet, breastplate, skirt armor, arm armor, and leg armor.

The helmet includes a faceplate and a neck guard.

The breastplate is worn in a clasp-and-open design.

The skirt armor includes groin protection and a support frame.

The arm armor includes shoulder armor shaped like a tiger's head, as well as iron gauntlets.

The leg armor includes specially made combat boots.

Except for the helmet, which is molded in one piece, all other parts are made of pieces of metal connected together.

This method can effectively absorb impact force.

The armor is primarily made of scandium alloy, with an inner lining of aluminum-carbon composite fiber.

Liu Bo, the company employee in charge of picking up the goods, excitedly introduced, "President Lin, the manufacturer said that this set of armor is enough to withstand the crossbow fire with a kinetic energy of two thousand joules."

"A full-power 7.62mm tungsten carbide armor-piercing round can provide frontal protection."

"At the same weight, scandium alloy is the strongest. It is not only light and hard, but it also does not rust and has no rejection reaction. Its defensive capabilities are unparalleled."

"The inner lining is made of aluminum-carbon composite fiber, and the super resin adhesive combined with aluminum-carbon composite fiber has an excellent buffering and energy absorption effect."

"As long as you're not hit head-on by a shell or shot by a Barrett, you're not afraid of being sprayed with bullets."

Any man would be fascinated by this set of armor, which is both powerful and beautifully designed.

Beyond its powerful defensive capabilities, it boasts a design that perfectly caters to men's preferences.

The helmet has a deep blue metallic sheen, a specially designed cloud pattern, and a wisp of flamboyant white fur on top.

Compared to the dazzling armor seen in short videos, its appearance is even more stunning.

"Those armors on TikTok are just for show, they look pretty."

Liu Bo, circling the armor, gleamed with excitement and clicked his tongue repeatedly, "They're all just for show."

"This one, Mr. Lin's, is the one that truly has practical value."

"It's so beautiful."

Lin Dao casually put down his backpack, picked up a claw hammer, and swung it directly at the armor without any hesitation.

Liu Bo, standing to the side, looked on with deep regret.

This thing is a work of art, it's so violent.

Step forward and take a closer look.

There wasn't even a mark where the hammer hit.

Only then did Lin Dao nod and say, "Not bad."

"The materials and labor alone cost over two million yuan." Liu Bo exclaimed repeatedly, "It's simply a work of art."

Lin Dao glanced at him, took out his wallet, pulled out a stack of banknotes and handed them over, "Thank you for your hard work, here's a two-day break for you."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Lin!"

"Mr. Lin, may I take a picture?"

Lin Dao nodded. "Take the picture."

After taking photos and recording videos, Liu Bo had another idea: "President Lin, could I wear it just once?"

Holiday cancelled!

Liu Bo ran off with the bonus. He'll probably spend these two days of holiday with his girlfriend, spending Lin Dao's money.

Lin Dao then took his armor and headed to Yonghe Time and Space.

They summoned someone to bring the frame and mounted the armor on it.

Lin Dao took out a Glock, loaded it, and then emptied the magazine after maintaining a safe distance.

Upon closer inspection, there was still no problem.

He nodded and began to put on his clothes.

The guards stepped forward to help, but Lin Dao refused, saying, "I'll do it myself."

Compared to the heavy armor that used to weigh dozens of kilograms, this is significantly lighter.

It's also very convenient to wear; you can get dressed neatly by yourself.

Fasten the neck brace, attach the support frame, and attach the faceplate.

Looking around the forest path, the visibility is decent; you could add special goggles if you did.

Lin Dao beckoned Liu Hu to step forward and shout, "Get your knife and chop!"

Liu Hu hesitated for a moment, then drew his knife.

'clang! ’

Amidst the clanging of metal, the armor remained unharmed, but a tiny, rice-grain-sized notch was slashed into the blade.

Lin Dao instructed again, "Shoot with a bow and arrow, a foot bow, a heavy arrow."

"Master," Liu Hu couldn't help but say, "Let me do it."

"No need," Lin Dao shook his head. "I must experience it for myself."

It's better to have problems during the verification phase than to encounter trouble after storming into the enemy camp.

The bowstring twanged, and a heavy arrow flew towards them, striking the breastplate and bouncing off.

"The armor absorbs impact very well; I didn't feel much of it."

Lin Dao gestured to his arms and legs to "continue".

After firing several arrows, he raised his iron gauntlet and patted the helmet on his head. "Here!"

"Master Lang!"

Liu Hu said urgently, "It's too dangerous."

“You don’t understand.” Lin Dao shook his head. “I have to experience it myself.” Before, Glock bullets hit his helmet without any problem, so heavy arrows would be no problem either. The main thing was to feel the impact.

"Fire at the target!"

Liu Hu dared not draw the bow fully; he aimed carefully for a while before releasing the arrow.

"Boom!"

The heavy arrow was mounted on his forehead, and the impact made Lin Dao tilt his head back slightly.

The helmet features an inner support frame that connects to the shoulder armor via a neck guard, effectively mitigating impact.

"very good."

Lin Dao pointed to the weapon rack and said, "Use all of them: mace, spiked club, spear, whip, halberd, short spear, and greatsword."

Inside the training ground, the clanging sounds continued incessantly.

After everything was over, Lin Dao signaled for a break.

Panting heavily, Liu Hu said, "My lord, if you encounter any difficulties, just lead us there to fight."

"I appreciate the kind offer," Lin Dao chuckled, raising his hand to pat his shoulder. "It's a pity I can't take it."

If he could lead a large army, he would have already led hundreds of thousands or even millions of troops there to slaughter the Jurchens without leaving a single survivor!
Jingkang Time and Space.

As soon as Lin Dao appeared, he saw several men dressed in short clothes surrounding the RV, hitting and smashing it, while spewing vulgarities.

The paint on the RV has been completely ruined.

Even worse, some people brought firewood and piled it up next to the cart, threatening the woman inside to come out immediately or they would set it on fire and burn her to death.

Remove the Glock, load the gun, and release the safety.

"Bang, bang, bang~"

The continuous gunfire knocked down everyone who had their backs to him.

The sound of hurried footsteps rang out, and several figures circled around from the other side of the RV.

Upon seeing Lin Dao, who was fully armored and looked like an iron-clad man, he immediately turned and ran.

'Bang bang bang~~~'

Everyone was knocked to the ground.

Lin Dao stepped forward and stood in front of a man whose leg had been shot through. He looked down at the man and asked, "Who are you?"

"Spare me! Hero, spare me!"

"Bang!" A shot hit the other leg, and a scream instantly rose in pain.

"Who are you?"

"Lu, from Luguan Town~" The unfortunate fellow, shot in both legs, kept wailing.

They were vagrants from the nearby town of Luguan.

Upon learning that something strange had appeared there, they ran over to see what was going on.

However, he happened to see Li Shishi opening the curtains and thought of bringing her out to play together.

'boom! '

The wailing stopped abruptly.

Lin Dao opened the car door and got in with heavy steps.

The bathroom door opened, revealing Li Shishi's small face.

"Well, benefactor?"

The person who was able to open the car door and get in must be our benefactor, right?

Lin Dao removed his mask, and Li Shishi immediately cheered and ran over.

“My benefactor, you’re finally back.”

She was genuinely terrified when those thugs vandalized the RV.

If it falls into the hands of these people, I really don't want to think about it.

She had heard many rumors.

Bandits and thugs from all over the Song Dynasty, as well as local shady inns and bullies, were capable of all sorts of evil deeds.

Especially for a beauty like her, it must be a fate worse than death.

Feeling lost and helpless, my fear was no less than that of being hunted by the Jurchens.

At this moment, she rushed into Lin Dao's arms. Even though she was holding cold iron armor, she still felt safe and warm, and had a strong sense of security.

"Go and get some food."

"Yes."

Having spent all day in the RV, Li Shishi has become familiar with many of the items.

Can skillfully use an induction cooker to prepare simple hot meals.

Lin Dao, having removed his armor, sat on the edge of the bed.

He took out his tablet and browsed the information about the Jingkang era that he had downloaded from the Modern Time and Space website.

The more I look at it, the more I get angry, like I have high blood pressure.

The bizarre practices of the Northern Song Dynasty, from the emperor down to the civil and military officials, are enough to make one's blood pressure soar.

What a bunch of weirdos!

His mind was filled with nothing but begging for peace and surrender.

"Has this been cursed?"

Lin Dao expressed his incomprehension, saying, "You're only thinking about making peace, making peace with bandits?"

It wasn't because they were cursed; there were actually several factors involved.

One reason is the Treaty of Shanyuan.

They believed that the Jin dynasty had replaced the Liao dynasty and that the Treaty of Shanyuan could be used as a model to treat the Jin dynasty as the Liao dynasty.

However, they did not think carefully about the premise of the Treaty of Chanyuan, which was that the Song army had blocked the Liao army's offensive and demonstrated its fighting strength.

This made the Liao Kingdom realize that there was no benefit in continuing the war, which led to the Treaty of Shanyuan.

What is the current fighting capacity of the Song army?

Tens of thousands of troops were chased and routed by a dozen or so Jurchen cavalrymen.

For the Jurchens, they could have taken everything, so why should they negotiate with you?

Furthermore, there has been fierce partisan strife between the old and new parties since the Reform Movement.

At this time, the surrender faction held the dominant power in the court. Of course, they did not admit that they were the surrender faction.

Their politically correct stance is to seek peace.

If he came to power because he supported seeking peace, then he can only seek peace to the very end.

Everything except seeking peace is opposition!
It must be said that the court in the late Northern Song Dynasty was indeed extremely bizarre.

It was a scene of demons and monsters dancing together.

After the meal, Lin Dao, who had been angry earlier, softened his expression.

He looked at Li Shishi, who was busy tidying up, and gave her some instructions.

"Get ready to set off; we're heading straight for Bianliang City!"
