Zhutian: Starting from the Space-Time Merchant

Chapter 476 I am Zhang Liang, and it is now the 29th year of the First Emperor's reign. This place is called Bolangsha.
The wind blows, carrying the snow-white reed flowers in a fluttering motion.

As far as the eye can see, vast expanses of reeds sway from side to side in the wind, creating a beautiful scene.

"Hmm~"

Lin Dao sniffed, his brow furrowing slightly. "The smell of blood~"

Having spent years on the battlefield, he could easily distinguish that it was the smell of human blood, and it was very fresh.

The faint sounds of shouts and fighting drifted through the reeds.

Taking a breath, Lin Dao strode towards the sound.

If he were to encounter barbarians slaughtering Han Chinese people, he would unleash a massacre.

The clouds were low and the wind was getting stronger.

The reeds swayed more and more rapidly, and the snow-white reed flowers danced in the air, like falling petals.

Zhang Liang, carrying his sword, stumbled and staggered through the reeds.

His breathing grew heavier, and he felt a burning pain in his chest.

His limbs felt weak and sore, and his body was sending him signals that he couldn't run anymore and that his body couldn't take it anymore.

But Zhang Liang dared not stop to rest.

Behind him, the fierce Qin army guards surged forward like a tidal wave, chasing after him.

'Woof woof woof~'

The barking grew closer; these were hunting dogs used by the Qin people for pursuit.

Zhang Liang had anticipated this; he took out sulfur powder and scattered it along the way to scare away the hunting dogs.

I don't know how long I ran, but the reeds in front of me gradually thinned out.

A smile appeared on his tired face.

Once you get out of this reed bed, you'll reach a river not far away.

Boats had already been prepared on the riverbank; once aboard, they could quickly escape the Qin army's pursuit by sailing downstream.

His joy was still on his face when suddenly a huge figure appeared before him.

A message in his mind told him to stop.

But his body moved forward uncontrollably, crashing straight into the figure.

Zhang Liang felt as if he had run headfirst into a mountain.

He collapsed to the ground, wailing loudly.
The pain was unbearable, and I was filled with despair.

Falling into the hands of the Qin people would surely mean a fate worse than death.

In despair, tears streamed down his face.

Stepping over to the man, Lin Dao looked down at him and said, "Stand up."

Zhang Liang stopped crying and gasped for breath.

After a moment, he struggled to his feet.

He gripped his sword tightly, his eyes filled with determination.

I'd rather be killed on the spot than be captured and tortured!
He knew he couldn't withstand the torture, and that he would even have to admit that he was still wetting the bed at his age, which would be too embarrassing!

"where is this place?"

What is the current year's reign title?

"Who are you?"

Hearing the question from the armored man in front of him, Zhang Liang was momentarily stunned.

He asked hesitantly, "You...aren't from Qin?"

"Qin people?"

Lin Daoxin's heart skipped a beat: "Is this a gift from Qin to me?"

This delivery went way too far.

Who is the current King of Qin?

This time, Zhang Liang was certain that the man was not a Qin person, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He clasped his hands together, bowed, and performed a traditional Chinese greeting.

"My name is Zhang Liang. It is now the 29th year of the First Emperor's reign. This place is called Bolangsha."

This is the key information.

Upon hearing this, Lin Dao immediately understood the time, place, and people involved.

During the First Emperor's eastern tour, he was ambushed and assassinated by Zhang Liang at Bolangsha.

He looked the man up and down. "You're Zhang Liang?"

Zhang Liang, also known as Zhang Zifang, was a renowned figure in later generations and an idol to countless civil officials.

However, nowadays, when the First Emperor is still alive...

Whether it was Zhang Liang, Xiang Yu, or Emperor Gaozu of Han, they all had to obediently sit, lie down, and wait.

Anyone who dares to provoke him will immediately be met with Zu Long's iron fist.

At this time, Zhang Liang was just a fallen nobleman from the state of Han, who had spent all his wealth to recruit warriors to assassinate the First Emperor.

He never expected that the armored man in front of him would know his name.

"Young man~"

Zhang Liang said urgently, "The Qin army is in hot pursuit. Please follow me to hide first, and then we can talk about other things."

Lin Dao, however, smiled and said, "It's too late."

Sure enough, a large number of Qin soldiers, shouting and yelling, surrounded them from all directions.

If it weren't for the forest path blocking his way, Zhang Liang would have already rushed out of the reeds and escaped to his small boat.

But because of Lin Dao's delay, they can no longer escape.

Although he used sulfur powder to suppress the hunting dogs' sense of smell, the reeds he damaged during his escape became the best road signs for the Qin army.

The Qin army acted decisively and directly.

Without a word of nonsense, the hundred generals leading the group pointed their bronze swords diagonally.

"kill!"

The Qin army, wielding long weapons such as halberds, spears, and daggers, marched forward in formation to thrust their weapons.

These armored soldiers around the First Emperor were all elite Qin soldiers.

They were well-trained and worked in perfect harmony.

Rows of long weapons thrust forward, giving no chance to block or resist.

Lin Dao's gaze darkened, and he swept his spear horizontally, knocking away the long weapon in front of him.

With a flash, he charged into the Qin army's formation.

Lin Dao was extremely experienced in battle formations and knew that facing such a formation, direct confrontation would not yield good results.

The only way is to get close and disrupt their formation.

Sure enough, with the support of Lin Dao's terrifying power, as he swung his spear, a large number of Qin soldiers screamed and flew out to the ground, quickly losing their fighting ability.

The Qin army reacted extremely quickly.

The Qin army, armed with crossbows, quickly assembled, and all the crossbows were pointed at the forest path.

At the same time, the remaining Qin soldiers also drew their short weapons. *Whoosh whoosh whoosh~*

The crossbow bolts used by the Qin army almost all had the triangular shape of the wing surface removed.

A triangular arrow has three sharp edges. The moment it hits a target, the sharp edges create a cutting force, allowing the arrow to penetrate armor and reach the human body.

Undoubtedly a deadly weapon.

Faced with dozens of crossbows pointed at him, Lin Dao's response was to raise his arm to shield his face.

With a clanging sound of metal striking metal, the crossbow bolts hit the armor and were all bounced off.

This scene immediately left everyone on the battlefield speechless.

I've never seen such a powerful suit of armor before!
The next moment, Lin Dao leaped forward, his spear unsheathed like a dragon's roar, striking and whipping with lightning speed.

They felled large numbers of Qin soldiers to the ground.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of hot tea, hundreds of Qin soldiers fell to the ground screaming in agony.

The hound pounced, biting at the greaves on Lin Dao's legs.

Lin Dao didn't even look, and drew his pistol with his backhand.

'Bang bang bang bang~'

The deafening sound and the pungent smell of gunpowder even made the wounded Qin soldiers pause for a moment.

what? !

Looking around, I made sure there was no danger.

Lin Dao looked at Zhang Liang, who was completely dumbfounded.

"Would you like to go?"

Coming to his senses, Zhang Liang swallowed hard and hurriedly stepped forward, saying, "My lord, come with me."

He quickly led the way, bringing Lin Dao to the small boat he had prepared in advance.

"Please board the boat, my lord."

We boarded a small boat and sailed downstream.

This area is a vast expanse of lakes, crisscrossed by rivers and dotted with swamps.

The banks are covered with reeds, and once you row a boat into them, you are almost impossible to catch up to unless there is a drone watching you from above.

Lin Dao sat on the boat, opened a bottle of Hai Zhi Yan (Sea Words), drank his beverage, and used his phone to record the natural scenery along the way.

Such natural scenery is unparalleled by any other scenic area.

True nature.

Bolangsha is located near Xinxiang, Henan.

Although it is the Central Plains, it had a small population and insufficient technology in the past, and its development level was not high.

That's why we have such a beautiful view.

Of course, the ubiquitous mosquitoes greatly affected my mood.

Lin Dao took out a bottle of insect repellent from his travel bag.

After spraying, the number of mosquitoes was indeed reduced.

As he smelled the refreshing scent of the medicine, Zhang Liang's expression grew increasingly solemn.

As the sun set, the small boat docked at a small island in the lake.

The two disembarked, and Zhang Liang hid the small boat in the reeds.

Then, led by Zhang Liang, they arrived at a thatched hut surrounded by reeds.

Zhang Liang suddenly bent his knees, lightly tapped his forehead on the ground, and bowed deeply to Lin Dao.

"My lord is truly awe-inspiring!"

"I shamelessly beg for your help, sir, to avenge the national and personal grievances!"

He had personally witnessed Lin Dao's terrifying bravery in fighting against a hundred men.

Those were two garrisons of elite Qin soldiers, yet they were defeated so easily by Lin Dao, completely exceeding Zhang Liang's comprehension.

"Liangben is of Korean descent."

"Both my father and grandfather were prime ministers of Han."

"After Qin destroyed the state of Han, Liang was determined to avenge his country and family."

"Having previously squandered all my wealth, I found a strongman from Canghai Jun."

"Forge a 120-pound iron hammer to ambush the Qin King's chariot at Bolangsha!"

Unexpectedly, the King of Qin, fearing death, had all the carriages in his entourage identical.

"Helpless, Liang could only order his warriors to attack one of them, but unfortunately, the secondary chariot was hit."

"Now I am penniless, with only my life left."

"I beg you, my lord, to assassinate the King of Qin. My life is yours!"

Zhang Liang was born into a noble family and was handsome and knowledgeable.

If it were someone who prefers to eat peaches separately, they might already be eagerly dragging him into the thatched hut.

Unfortunately, Lin Dao didn't like that kind of thing.

He found a large rock to sit on and looked at Zhang Liang with a leisurely air.

"You want revenge."

"What do you plan to do after you get your revenge?"

“This…” Zhang Liang straightened up, his eyes filled with confusion.

He hadn't really considered these things.

After thinking for a moment, he gave an uncertain response: "Liberate Korea?"

“No way!” Lin Dao laughed. “I can only tell you that I will not assassinate the emperor.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Liang immediately looked disappointed.

He went from being a nobleman to a commoner wearing a black turban, and naturally he felt resentful.

Moreover, he also saw that the Qin state was like a giant cauldron hanging upside down, with the King of Qin as the pillar supporting it.

Once the King of Qin dies, the Qin state will surely collapse.

At that time, I can restore my country and fulfill my long-cherished wish.

The person before him was the strongest he had ever seen or heard of.

If he were willing to assassinate the Qin emperor, his chances of success would be extremely high.

What a pity~
Lin Dao certainly couldn't assassinate Qin Shi Huang; that was the First Emperor.

No matter how many writers and poets try to smear him, the First Emperor is still the First Emperor.

His achievement of unifying the world is something that no one can erase.

Should Lin Dao be sent to assassinate the Qin emperor?

It's only because it's Zhang Liang who brought this up; if it were anyone else, Lin Dao would have shot them on the spot.

"Don't be disappointed."

Lin Dao laughed, "Actually, it won't be long before you get what you want."
