[S2] Armed Entry into Song

After Lin Zhao and his four companions save Qinghe Village, they use their military merits to apply for household registration and form a local militia. Ma Zhen opens a wood workshop to produce rocking chairs and hand crossbows for income, Chen Su establishes a clinic to treat the sick, and Wang Haochuan aspires to pass the imperial examinations. Magistrate Di visits and appreciates their efforts. Lin Zhao leads Xie Changfeng and the militia to escort Western Xia warhorses to Qinzhou for sale. Along the way, they encounter Li Kui, a refugee, and travel together to the Shijia tribe, only to find the Yaojia tribe raiding them. Lin Zhao leads a surprise attack on enemy lines to break the siege, then launches a nighttime raid on the Yaojia stronghold, killing their chieftain and completely eliminating the border threat. He forms an alliance with the Shijia patrol inspector and returns with captured supplies, laying a solid foundation of wealth and military resources for Qinghe Village.
