Zhutian: Starting from the Space-Time Merchant

Chapter 66 People’s hearts are floating
In the Xianyang Hall, the candlelight flickered and the light and shadow were erratic.

The dim candlelight illuminated everyone's gloomy faces.

"Ahem~~~"

On the way back to Yecheng, Shi Hu accidentally fell off his horse and tried hard to maintain his dignity as the king.

But the pain in his broken leg made him groan uncontrollably.

"I have long known that Yao Yizhong is unreliable."

Shi Hu narrowed his eyes, his gaze sinister. "I will arrange land and slavery for them, and provide them with food and equipment."

"Let them come out of the poor mountain valley and live in this rich land."

"I treat them better than their parents and ancestors!"

"But how did they repay me?"

"These Qiang people actually ran away!"

Shi Hu, with bloodshot eyes, coughed again, "Traitor! Beast! Damn beast!"

Yao Yi Zhong was crushed into meat paste by the Hundred-Ton King, and no one in the Later Zhao Dynasty knew about this news.

But the news that the Qiang people fled as a whole was true.

Even with such a powerful enemy at the doorstep, Shi Hu did not faint from anger, which was due to his strong psychological quality.

The roar of the stone tiger echoed in the hall, and everyone lowered their heads and remained silent.

Under the candlelight, everyone's complexion was different.

Some were panicked, some were angry, some were secretly happy, some were thoughtful, and some were heavy-hearted and expressionless.

"Prince~"

After taking a breath, Shi Hu instructed Shi Xuan to "send a message to Shi Bao (the one staying in Chang'an) to intercept and kill the Qiang people. Kill them all!"

Shi Xuan accepted the order immediately.

"Send people to search the city." Shi Hu was still furious. "Anyone who is a Qiang will be killed!"

Shi Xuan accepted the order again.

Later Zhao was facing a major crisis, and as the crown prince, Shi Xuan had to stand on the same side with his father at this moment.

"Traitors will be killed by me in the end."

When Shi Hu said this, his eyes were fixed on the Di chieftain Fu Hong.

They had experienced an unprecedented defeat before.

The Qihuo Army's iron behemoth and deadly weapon suddenly appeared.

It directly shattered the morale of the various troops of the Later Zhao Dynasty.

Faced with the irresistible steel behemoth, the morale within the Later Zhao Dynasty was in turmoil.

Seeing that the ship is in danger of capsizing, a smart person would think about jumping off the ship as soon as possible.

The Qiang people fled first, and the Di people, who had a large number of followers, became the main target of attention.

Fu Hong, who was the focus of attention, looked calm and said nothing.

"All units should guard the city carefully."

Shi Hu's eyes were fierce. "Yecheng's defenses are strong. I don't believe that the beggars of the Qihuo Army can break through the city walls!"

After leaving Xianyang Palace, the atmosphere was still depressing.

All the civil and military nobles of the Later Zhao left without much communication.

After returning to his residence, Fu Hong first picked up his grandson Fu Jian and played intimately with him for a while.

Afterwards, he took his son Fu Jian to the study for a secret talk.

"We must find a way out of the city as soon as possible."

Fu Hong simply said, "I am being watched closely. You must take Fu Jian with you."

"Aye." Fu Jian was surprised. "Why is it so?"

"Why has it come to this?" Fu Hong clenched his fists, his face grim. "Our people have suffered a crushing defeat in this wild battle, and there is no future for them!"

The foundation of the various Hu tribes' survival is their powerful ability to fight in the wild.

However, the sudden appearance of the steel behemoth made the wild battles a joke.

The armored cavalry crashed into it and turned into bloody powder.

What about others?

As long as the giant beast appears on the battlefield, there will be chaos and morale will collapse.

How is this played?
If it is just about defending the city, then what is the difference between the Chinese and the Han people.

"This city cannot be defended."

Fu Hong clenched his fist and said, "In the beggar army, all kinds of strange and bizarre things appear one after another."

"They must have a weapon to break into the city."

"You must leave as soon as possible."

Without waiting for the anxious Fu Jian to speak, Fu Hong said again, "After leaving the city, go find the tribesmen and take them to Shuofang."

"There are ravines and gullies there, making it easy to hide."

"If there is a chance," Fu Hong said with a slight hesitation, "we can surrender the Qihuo Army."

Fu Jian was horrified. "The Qihuo Army killed Fu Xiong!"

"Compared to the future of the tribe, Fu Xiong's revenge is nothing."

"If you surrender to the Qihuo Army, you will be loyal to it wholeheartedly."

Fu Hong waved his hand and said, "If that doesn't work, then we can retreat to the grasslands or the mountains."

"Lying dormant, waiting for the Han people's kingdom to fall into civil strife again."

Build a marquis' mansion.

As soon as Shi Min came back, Feng Dun and others who had been waiting there for a long time came forward to greet him with anxious looks.

After the failure of the siege of Xiangguo City, Feng Dun and others officially joined Shi Min's army.

They also participated in the previous war.

The invincibility of the steel behemoth shocked them and filled them with regret.

If I had known this would happen, I should have followed Master Lin Jia.

Master Lin Jia is also a bastard.

You are so capable, why don't you take it out earlier~~~
"Just wait."

Shi Min was a little depressed. "The king is angry now. If you show up at this time, it will be disastrous."

He has always been proud of his bravery and felt that he could ride across the battlefield and no one in the world could defeat him.

But when he saw the giant steel beast running rampant and directly destroying the army formation, his heart sank.

What kind of bravery can fight against such a terrifying monster?

He had deep doubts about his abilities.

What would happen if I rode a BMW towards the giant beast?
Feng Dun and others also looked unhappy, but at this time, they didn't know what to say.

They had the opportunity to cheer on the side of the victors.

After a long silence, Shi Min asked quietly.

"Do you know what Master Lin Jia likes?"

After returning home, Li Nong paced back and forth in the study.

His brows were furrowed, as if he was thinking about something important. After an unknown amount of time, Li Nong took out several letters from the secret room.

This is the letter of persuasion for surrender that was written to him from Jiangzuo.

After considering for a moment, Li Nong spread out paper, ground it, and picked up a pen to write a letter by candlelight.

The big ship of the Later Zhao Dynasty was leaking everywhere, and Li Nong planned to contact other captains to ask for a ticket.

Begging for life in the old camp of the army.

There is laughter and joy everywhere.

Everyone's face was filled with joy.

Lin Dao was in a good mood and bought several boxes of Snow Beer with his own money and celebrated with everyone by drinking.

In the camp, the 100-ton King Mining Truck, which had made great contributions, was parked there quietly.

Countless beggar soldiers came forward to worship in awe.

Even though the sticky stains on the car have not been cleaned yet, it does not prevent people from touching, feeling and worshipping it.

Everyone believed that there could not be such a rare and unique object in the world, and it must be a divine artifact from the immortal world.

It’s good to take a look at it, touch it, and get some blessings from it.

The happiest person was Wang Meng.

He held the bottle of wine in his hand and stared at the Hundred Ton King with an infatuated look, as if he was looking at a peerless beauty who was even more sturdy and fatter than the top martial arts champion.

"With this magical object, pacifying the world is just around the corner."

“Only when the chaos ends can we live and work in peace and contentment.”

Lin Dao sat there, drinking beer sip by sip, looking relaxed.

At first, he was surprised.

It's just a victory, why are you so excited to the point of crazy?

Later he figured it out, what was more important than winning the battle was that the artifact, the Hundred-ton King Mining Card, belonged to the Beggar Army.

It can run faster than heavy cavalry, and crashing into cavalry is like hitting an egg with a stone.

The most important thing is that the mining card is completely unsolvable and all existing means cannot break the defense.

As for really killing or crushing thousands or even tens of thousands of barbarians, it is obvious that it is impossible.

After all, the Hu Lu are not the African flat-headed brothers. If you try to hit them hard, they will run away.

What is really important is the psychological blow and pressure on the barbarians.

When this kind of thing appears on the battlefield, it becomes a strategic-level deterrent force.

No matter how brave a warrior is, he will die if he rushes forward.

No matter how solid the battle formation is, it will be shattered by the Hundred Ton King.

This terrifying pressure dealt a heavy blow to morale.

In terms of deterrence capability in terms of military morale, it is undoubtedly at a strategic level.

It was also because of this that the various Hu peoples either fled to other places or hid in the city and dared not come out.

If the Hu people did not dare to fight in the open, they would lose the greatest advantage they relied on.

There were blood gourds all over the road when I drove, and I crushed countless people and horses.

The earth was dyed blood red.

If they were in the female channel, the saintly ladies would have already opened fire and drowned Lin Dao with saliva.

Now, Lin Dao just felt a little dizzy.

I drank too much Snow Flower. Although the alcohol content was not high, there were too many people toasting me and I felt dizzy after drinking too much.

He has no psychological burden.

Having witnessed so many human tragedies along the way, the northerner can no longer be called a human being.

They were so miserable, Lin Dao was just speaking for them.

Give the Hu people the retribution they deserve.

This is the law of nature and retribution.

How could Lin Dao possibly feel dizzy, nauseous, and suffer from the reproach of his conscience, leading to a physical and mental breakdown?

He certainly has a conscience, and a big one at that.

But Lin Dao's conscience belongs to a human being, and the barbarians who like two-legged sheep are not human beings.

I do feel regretful, sad, and want to apologize, but that's for the innocent horses that were hit or crushed to death.

After all, horses are so cute~
Drinking too much makes you dizzy, and when you feel dizzy you want to sleep.

In a trance, Lin Dao felt himself being helped up, and then fell onto the soft big bed.

When I regained consciousness, it was already noon the next day.

When I sat up, my first thought was to drink water.

Then I saw the girl lying next to me.

"Lord~"

Jinlian, who had already woken up, sat up shyly.

"What a sin~" Lin Dao sighed.

"I'm not a little kid who knows nothing."

"Even in a drunken state, I still knew it."

"But you stayed here all night after all."

"Oh~~~"

It is indeed a sin.

Lin Dao usually goes back to the modern world when he sleeps.

He has no feelings towards Yonghe Time and Space; it is purely the people and events that push him forward here.

Deep down, I don’t want to have too many concerns.

But Jinlian's move left him speechless.

In fact, many times, such things do not require substantial progress.

Lin Daoruo ran out and told everyone, "Although Jinlian stayed in my room for a night, we didn't do anything."

Then Jinlian would be too ashamed to live as a human being.

"Bring me some water."

Lin Dao is not a shy little boy.

Since the girl is so proactive, just accept it.

That means waking up late.

If I wake up in the middle of the night, I will definitely get a series of critical hits.

Jinlian went out to fetch water and saw Sun Rong waiting outside the door, her teeth clenched and her eyes wide open.

She held her head high like a proud peacock.

As he passed by Sun Rong, he snorted softly.

“I won~~~”
