Zhutian: Starting from the Space-Time Merchant

Chapter 295 There has never been a savior~
"King Ming!"

Lan Yu ran over to report, "Brother-in-law and the others are all ready."

His face was full of excitement, clearly indicating that he wanted to make a big splash.

At twelve or thirteen years old, in this day and age, one is no longer considered a child.

"Walk."

Lin Dao's expression was solemn as he walked forward step by step.

The sun was shining brightly, and a warm breeze was blowing.

The crowd that chased after him stared at Lin Dao's retreating figure, gradually losing their focus.

Outside the gate, countless Mongols rode their horses, brandishing their swords, their shouts of battle deafening.

Inside the gate, the forest path, with hands behind the back, is like a lone warrior facing a vast army.

Though there be thousands, I will go!

Everyone ignored Lan Yu who was standing to the side and focused their attention on Lin Dao.

"Although this man is arrogant," even Yang Weizhen exclaimed in admiration, "his courage and fighting spirit are no less than that of the Overlord!"

Although most of the scholars with headscarves were timid and cowardly, they only dared to show off their power in front of women.

But I also deeply admire those who are truly brave.

These words caused Zhang Tianyou's eyebrows to twitch violently.

He took a deep breath and quickened his pace to the gate.

"Hurry!"

Seeing the large number of soldiers crowding the streets outside, Zhang Tianyou roared, "Unauthorized troop deployment! Do you want to rebel?"

Throughout history, unauthorized troop movements have been a serious crime.

Especially at this time, the number of soldiers on the not-so-wide street outside the Xue residence was well over several hundred.

If this were in Dadu (Beijing), even if the emperor were to rape a concubine, he would be dragged down and taken away.

"It has nothing to do with you!"

Hu Ci, whose body was clearly weak, stared intently at Lin Dao with his narrow eyes and said, "I'm going to take my revenge today, and no one can stop me."

"Oh?" Lin Dao put his hands on his hips and smiled. "Having that electric shock cured your lisp?"

The reason why air leaks from a person's mouth is because they have no teeth.

Electrotherapy may prevent teeth from growing back.

However, it definitely has its uses. At least now, Huci no longer speaks with his mouth wide open, and his pronunciation is much clearer.

"You're dead today!"

Having changed into new pants, Hu Ci glared at Lin Dao with bloodshot eyes and said, "Even Buddha couldn't save you!"

"I said it!!"

As Darughachi, he did indeed have the authority to mobilize troops.

The original purpose of the position of Darughachi was to suppress Han Chinese in various regions.

As for the Zhang family, if things have already broken down, then so be it.

What kind of hereditary lords are they? They're just stronger dogs.

He must have connections to be appointed as the Darughachi of Hangzhou!

Zhang Tianyou's face turned red, clearly indicating that he was quite angry.

Before he could retort, Zhang Yu, who was two or three years younger than Lan Yu, tugged at his sleeve.

Seeing his son shaking his head, Zhang Tianyou immediately came to his senses.

The Zhang family suffered a great calamity and only managed to recover with great difficulty.

At this moment, is he arguing over a little face, perhaps wanting to suffer another calamity?
Having figured this out, he immediately calmed down.

His gaze fell on the stick at Lin Dao's waist.

He was determined to get his hands on such a magical artifact no matter what.

Lin Dao glanced over here, smiled casually, and then paid no more attention.

How could a family of traitors possibly have any backbone!
"Go ahead."

Believing he had the situation under control, Hu Ci couldn't help but grin. "How do you want to die?"

Lin Dao ignored him and turned to Lan Yu, instructing her to "call someone."

Lan Yu immediately stepped forward, took out a firecracker and held it in his hand.

The fuse was lit, and with a hissing sound, the firecracker shot into the sky and exploded with a bang.

Everyone was extremely nervous, feeling that a major battle was about to break out in the city.

But a short while later, Shi Nai'an was seen driving a heavy carriage from an alley.

"Hahahahaha~~~"

The audience burst into laughter.
In such a serious atmosphere, it is indeed inappropriate to burst into laughter.

But Lin Dao is really hilarious.

They had been sending signals and calling for people so earnestly before, creating an extremely tense atmosphere.

Many people even thought that a fierce street battle would break out in Hangzhou.

But the result~
I pooped a big pile!
"This is the person you summoned?" Hu Ci laughed until tears streamed down his face. "Just an old servant?"

"Are you trying to make me laugh to death?!"

The streets were packed with scouts and Red Army soldiers.

The crowds watching the spectacle inside and outside the Xue residence were filled with laughter.

So they went to call for someone so earnestly that they ended up summoning an old servant.

It’s really hilarious.

"Sister Miaoqing~" Zhang Miaojing gripped Cao Miaoqing's hand tightly, "What should we do?"

Cao Miaoqing bit her lower lip, lifted the hem of her skirt with one hand, and pulled her best friend with the other as she ran toward Lin Dao.

Her relationship with Lin Dao had long been exposed to the public eye.

They could not escape it afterward.

If that's the case, then let's just travel together; that way, we can at least maintain a good reputation.

As for why she dragged her bewildered best friend along, that remains a mystery.

Lin Dao was slightly surprised to see them running towards him.

However, he immediately nodded.

A perfect performance on ordinary days is not as valuable as a single point shown in a time of crisis.

The Xue sisters, who were hiding in the crowd not far away, also shed tears upon witnessing this scene of lovers committing suicide together.

This is so touching!
Even more touching than the stories of talented scholars and beautiful women in books~
I even wanted to write a poem to praise them.

Looking flustered, Zhang Miaojing opened her mouth, "I~"

Heavy footsteps came from the alleyway not far away.

The clanging sound of the armor striking each other was like thunder!

Fully armed guards, wearing menacing face shields, emerged from the alleyway in rows of five.

The bright sunlight shone on the armor, creating a dazzling halo.

The laughter of everyone abruptly ceased. Shi Nai'an and Lan Yu worked together to lift the box down from the carriage.

Once opened, it reveals pieces of armor components inside.

Lin Dao took off his outer garment, revealing the silk lining and cushioning underneath.

With the help of the two men, he put on his scandium alloy armor.

While putting it on, she didn't forget to turn to Zhang Miaojing, who was dumbfounded, and ask, "What did you say?"

"I~"

"I said I do~~"

Lin Dao's scandium alloy armor is undoubtedly highly defensive.

Even if struck by an axe or hammer, it can withstand the blow thanks to its cushioning system and physical strength.

More importantly, this armor set is extremely beautiful.

The special coating is so dazzling in the sunlight.

The armor has perfect lines and proportions, and all components are machined and polished in one piece. In terms of coordination and smoothness, it is far superior to lamellar armor.

The long feathers at the tip of the helmet danced in the wind.

He raised his hand and tied his white robe.

Facing the wind, I gripped the edge of my white robe and swung it forcefully backward.
The whole place was silent.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Lin Dao was tall and strong with long arms, which perfectly supported the armor.

Visually, it was truly stunning.

Luo Guanzhong, mingling with the guards, looked through his mask at the Ming King not far away, who seemed like a god descending to earth, his eyes filled with stars.

Write it down, you must write it down!
Lin Dao, wearing iron gloves, fastened the faceplate.

He raised his head and looked through the mask at the dazed Huci.

"There is no Buddha, nor do we rely on gods or emperors."

He lifted his leg and strode toward the group of Mongols.

There has never been a savior.

He raised his hand and took down the two claw hammers hanging at his waist, his pace quickening, his long robe billowing in the wind behind him.

“It’s all up to us!”

"kill!!"

With a loud shout, Lin Dao leaped up and crashed straight into the ranks of the scouts.

"kill!!!"

Hundreds of guards roared in unison and marched forward in formation.

The overwhelming murderous aura made the cowardly thug tremble and fall to the ground.

Everyone was frightened.

They never imagined things would turn out this way.

Lin Dao, who was originally in dire straits, actually pulled out an armored army!
Although there were only a hundred armored soldiers, they could still be considered a large army.

They were all wearing iron armor, the kind that's full heavy armor.

With such strength, defeating over a thousand ordinary soldiers would be effortless.

"He~he~"

Zhang Tianyou's gaze was fixed on Lin Dao, who was wreaking havoc among the scouts and Red Army. "Is he really the Ming King?!"

He originally harbored ambitions to achieve great things and restore the glory of his ancestors.

But when the real Ming King and the Red Turban Army appeared before him and slaughtered everyone in their path...

He finally understood what a terrifying opponent he was about to face.

For these wealthy and influential people, this was practically dragging Jia Baoyu into battle.

Lin Dao had previously revealed his identity, but no one believed him and he had to prove it himself.

Now that Lin Dao has produced his own proof, they are all terrified.

Yang Weizhen's hands were trembling, his face was pale, and he was muttering to himself.

If anyone were nearby, they would hear him saying, "I'm going into seclusion, never to leave the mountains again."

Master Xue's expression was complicated as he frequently glanced at his two daughters.

He never imagined that the Red Turban Army would be so fierce and brave.

One should be cautious about one's own investments.

Otherwise, if the Red Turban Army were to invade Hangzhou one day, everything he had would be for nothing.

The officials and their associates in Hangzhou fled far away.

They rushed to gather men, block the city gates, and mobilize all their forces to ensure that the false Ming king was captured!

This is a tremendous achievement.

If we fail to keep them and they run away after causing a huge commotion, that would be an enormous crime that would bring misfortune to everyone!
'Woo~'

Lin Dao wielded his twin hammers, slaughtering his way through the crowd.

One blow from the hammer, and you're either dead or wounded.

The incoming arrows were ignored.

Swords, spears, and halberds can either be deflected or directly withstood.

His eyes were fixed on Hu Ci, who was desperately trying to escape, and he pursued him without hesitation.

Not far behind, Chang Yuchun led his armored soldiers forward, shouting and killing all the men and horses that blocked their way.

Although the scouts were numerous, they were easily cut down by the elite armored soldiers.

In the era of cold weapons, armored soldiers were invincible.

Seeing that Hu Ci was about to exit the street, Lin Dao simply swung the hammer in his hand.

The whistling, spinning hammer struck Huci squarely in the back.

The Darughachi immediately cried out and fell off his horse.

His attendants and servants tried to rush to his aid, but the retreating scouts pushed them all out of the street corner.

Lin Dao stepped forward and approached Hu Ci, who was struggling to get up.

He raised the hammer high and brought it down heavily.

Teeth, arms, knees, shoulder blades, ankles, sternum, limbs~
With each fall of the hammer, the notorious and unruly Darughachi of Hangzhou was reduced to a pile of mangled flesh and fell silent.

'spit!'

He lifted his mask and spat.

Lin Dao looked up and saw that at the wide street intersection ahead, the scouts and Red Army soldiers who had retreated earlier had regrouped and were now in formation.

"King Ming!"

Luo Guanzhong, his expression excited, stepped forward and offered up the spear he was holding.

"Please, Your Majesty, use long weapons to defeat the enemy!"

Looking at the Ming King in white robes and wielding a long spear, he made a mental note of it.
