Zhutian: Starting from the Space-Time Merchant

Chapter 13 I, Lin Zihou, am back again~~~
‘Buzz~~~’

A quadcopter drone took off into the air.

The sound of the propeller breaking through the air echoed in the sky of Yonghe space and time.

Lin Dao controlled the drone and flew towards the Hou Zhao army camp several miles away.

Of course, they call themselves Da Zhao.

The drone circled twice over the continuous camp, and the layout of the Hou Zhao military camp came into view.

Lin Dao sketched on the simple map he had drawn and finally determined the route into the city.

Replace the drone's batteries with new ones.

Wrap a box of Liquan with a piece of paper with words on it and stuff it into the lock hanging basket.

The drone took off again and flew directly over the dock.

Unlock the hook and the basket drops down into the dock.

Qin Lang, who was patrolling in the fort, saw a soldier coming to him in a hurry.

He immediately asked, "What's the matter?"

"Master." The soldier handed over the paper and cigarette in his hand. "I found a letter. It said to give it to the master."

"Oh?"

Qin Lang was puzzled and took the thing.

Before I even read the letter, I saw the box of cigarettes and immediately knew it was a letter from Brother Zihou.

He used to smoke with Lin Dao often, and had also been given a lighter and this kind of box of cigarettes.

Lin Dao is the only one in the entire fortress who has this thing.

Qin Lang read the letter hurriedly.

"Brother Qin: I plan to arrive at the east wall of the fort between 4:00 AM and 4:00 AM tonight. I hope Brother Qin will come to meet me. Lin Zihou."

"It's really Brother Zihou!"

Qin Lang was overjoyed and hurried to the Marshal's Mansion.

The Qihuo Army had no spies in the Later Zhao court.

They did not know how angry this tyrannical and cruel king was after they refused Shi Hu's order to take women and recruit men.

He could not tolerate anyone daring to challenge his authority in Da Zhao.

He immediately ordered Sikong Li Nong to lead tens of thousands of military households, claiming to be an army of 200,000, to attack the begging army in Guangzong County.

Due to the lack of information sources, Li Nong, who was advancing quickly, was not discovered by the Qihuo Army until he entered Guangzong County.

Historically, the Qihuo Army, which was short of food, had to accept Shi Hu's coercion.

But this time, the appearance of Lin Dao changed the original direction.

As for Sikong Li Nong, in history, several years later, he would flee Guangzong County and be elected as the Qihuo commander by the Qihuo army.

However, he betrayed the trust of the Qihuo Army, resulting in the almost complete annihilation of the 200,000-strong Qihuo Army.

"That's great." Wu Shuai Feng Dun was very happy to know that Lin Dao was coming back.

But then I thought, if people can get into the fort, how can food get in?

If the Jiehu long circumference
"Forget it." Feng Dun shook his head. "We'll talk about it when we meet."

In the modern world, Lin Dao, who went to bed early, was woken up by the alarm clock.

I looked at the time and it was already two o'clock in the morning.

He stood up and ate two bags of instant noodles, then packed up his equipment.

A full set of night camouflage combat uniforms, Kevlar helmet, bulletproof vest, and compass.

Swiss Army knife, claw hammer, and crucially, low-light night vision goggles and thermal imager.

These were all high-tech gadgets that he had purchased at a high price from a military goods store.

Although you can travel back and escape at any time when you encounter danger, this action still involves certain risks.

Like a lurking sentry hiding in the dark, shooting an arrow at you or something.

But this risk must be taken.

The Qihuo Army is his most important and only client at this time.

Once the Qihuo Army was eliminated, the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which was controlled by the aristocratic families, and the brutal Shi Hu would no longer be able to do business with him.

The aristocratic families and Shi Hu will devour him wholeheartedly.

If that situation came to pass, he would probably have no choice but to seek cooperation with Murong Huang of the Former Yan, who was working hard to govern the country.

Yonghe Time and Space.

As night fell, thick clouds blocked out the moonlight and starlight.

Lin Dao confirmed the direction, adjusted the night vision goggles and other equipment, and began to move towards the dock.

There are thick clouds in the night sky, which means there is a possibility of rain.

The prelude to rain is wind.

The whistling night wind covered up the sound of Lin Dao's footsteps.

The gray night obscured his figure.

Through the low-light night vision goggles, you can see the road ahead clearly.

The thermal imager provides early warning for forest trails.

Those ambush sentries, mobile sentries, secret sentries, etc. were all seen clearly.

Walking through the gaps between the camps.

Avoid many secret sentries.

Finally the forest road was blocked by a trench.

A trench nearly ten feet wide (about three meters) was filled with sharp wooden stakes.

This is a blockade ditch used to protect the city from the defenders and to allow for night attacks from outside the city.

There is also a passage through the blockade ditch, but it is guarded by sentries.

If Lin Daoruo were a person of this era, he might only be able to get through by relying on some special skills.

Now, it’s very simple.

Returning to the modern world, Lin Dao took a ladder from the warehouse and placed it directly on the trench to easily cross it.

“This is the power of technology~~~”

It's just a ladder, but it involves technology.

After passing the blockade ditch, the wall of the fort is a few miles ahead.

The torches on the courtyard wall to prevent night attacks were extremely dazzling under the night sky.

The military camps surrounding a city are usually located at some distance from the city walls.

On the one hand, it is necessary to guard against night attacks, and on the other hand, there must be enough space to deploy engineering equipment and troops.

When they were only a few hundred meters away from the courtyard wall, Lin Dao went back to get a riot shield.

He was worried that he would be shot by an arrow from some ignorant defender.

Fortunately, everything went well.

Qin Lang, standing on the courtyard wall, vaguely saw a shadowy figure approaching. He immediately shouted, "Is Brother Zihou here?"

"It's me~~~"

Hearing the familiar voice, Qin Lang hurriedly ordered people to lower the ropes and the hanging basket.

Not long after, Lin Dao reached the top of the city wall.

After a warm greeting, Lin Dao looked at the fortress shrouded in darkness.

"I, Lin Zihou, am back again~~~"

As long as others enter the fort, it means that the Beggar Army will receive a steady supply of supplies and high-tech support.

Next, it will be the Jiehu people's turn to face a fierce counterattack.

It was too late, so Lin Dao did not go to Marshal Wu's mansion and went straight back to his own courtyard.

"Lord~~~"

The men and women, who originally had different thoughts, saw Lin Dao coming back late at night and came to greet him wrapped in military coats.

When the Jiehu surrounded the city, everyone was afraid.

The brutal acts of the Jiehu are known to the world.

Who wouldn't be afraid when a man kills a woman and then makes her into food?

The owner went out to purchase goods and never returned, leaving everyone without a backbone.

During these days, not only were outsiders eyeing the wealth within the academy, but there was also a sense of instability within.

Fortunately, the master is finally back~~~
"No need to say anything more."

Lin Dao waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about it after daybreak. Everyone go back and rest."

After running around for a long time under such intense pressure, Lin Dao was also tired.

I went to the east room, tidied up a bit, closed the door, and returned to the dormitory in the modern world to sleep.

Get up in the morning, wash, eat, and then get busy with work.

It was almost noon when we arrived at Yonghe Space-Time.

When he came out of the main house, the yard was full of people.

The army green coats wrapped around them give a strong sense of déjà vu.

"Lord~~~"

Everyone bowed respectfully.

In the modern world, rituals and music have long since collapsed.

These confused women dared to demand the same marriage treatment as the ladies in ancient times.

But before ancient ladies got married, they were all serious young ladies~~~
In Yonghe time and space, although we live in troubled times, etiquette still exists.

When the head of the household is at home, even if it is time to eat, one has to wait for him to get up.

Lin Dao waved his hand, without explaining that he had overslept, and simply ordered, "Dinner is ready."

The ancients usually had two meals a day, morning and evening, but here in Lindao, they have three meals a day.

This is also an important reason why people from various forts are scrambling to get in.

The aroma of food soon came from the kitchen.

Sun Dalang and his guards went to get food first, while the women waited quietly.

As for Lin Dao, Jinlian and Sun Rong brought the food to the main room and served him.

Originally, Jinlian wanted to monopolize the opportunity to serve the master.

Unfortunately, Sun Rong was the sister of the guard leader Sun Dalang, so she couldn't stop him.

When the two girls were serving food, they were secretly competing with each other.

You pass the bowl to the master, and I will serve the dishes to him. It's very lively with you guys passing back and forth.

Lin Dao knew this very well, but he had no intention of interfering.

In the modern world, bootlickers are almost eliminated, let alone in ancient times.

The food at the Lin residence is considered the best in the fortress.

Because they have meat almost every meal, and there is plenty of refined rice and white flour.

Even at Wu Shuai's house, the food probably isn't as good as his.

Lin Dao, who had already eaten, was not very interested in boiled potatoes, boiled meat, etc.

After taking two bites, he put down his chopsticks and said, "You guys eat."

After returning to the east room and closing the door, Lin Dao brought ten sets of armor from the modern world.

As soon as I came back, I heard the rumbling of drums and shouts coming from far away outside the window.

There's going to be a war.

He opened the door and called out to the two little girls who were staring at each other while eating, "Come in and help."

Jinlian and Sun Rong came to the east room and were greatly surprised to see the exquisite armor piled on the ground.

They used to take turns cleaning the house every day and had never seen these things before.

"Help me put it on."

It would be very difficult to wear armor weighing dozens of pounds by yourself.

Lin Dao first put on a stab-proof suit, then a layer of chain mail on the outside, and finally the heavy lamellar armor.

Fortunately, he exercises regularly. If he were someone who sits in an office all year round, he might not be able to wear it.

Lin Dao put on a Tang Dynasty sword that he had bought online before, which had a very eye-catching shape and color, turned around twice and walked into the yard.

Seeing the young master come out neatly dressed, everyone who was squatting on the ground eating in the yard was greatly surprised.

Lin Dao raised his hand and gestured, "Continue eating."

Jinlian trotted over and put the Huchuang (stool) on the ground.

Lin Dao sat down with his knife in hand, waiting quietly.

Everyone obviously sped up their eating pace, and the sound of drums coming from afar became more and more urgent.

The guards finished their meal and the women quickly stepped forward to take away their bowls and chopsticks.

Lin Dao just spoke at this time, "I think you have already competed in private."

"Each of you should nominate the eight strongest ones."

These guards are all ruthless men who dare to go out and hunt the Jie cavalry.

He is still a ruthless person who can come back alive with the head in his hand.

After joining the master, she had enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear all day long, and she had nothing to do and was supported by him.

It is natural for people with high energy and nothing to do to compete with each other.

These days, there's no such thing as fighting each other~~~
The guards often fight with each other, and it is clear who is strong and who is weak.

Soon, eight men came out to pay their respects.

Lin Dao nodded and told Jin Lian, who was standing beside him, "Take someone and move the armor out of the house."
