Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"What are you standing there for! Arrest them!"

Upon hearing the order to capture them alive if possible, the soldiers were slightly taken aback.

Why did they just kill them before? Why do they have to capture them alive now?

"Um, General, the brothers have been killing all night, they're getting into the swing of things, this capture alive..."

"Try to capture them alive, but it's not like you have to. Are you stupid?"

The general rolled his eyes at his men. He'd seen stupid people before, but never anyone this stupid. He'd be a disgrace to his men if they ever went out in public.

"Yes!"

After hearing this, everyone immediately rushed into the alley!

"Capture Li Gang alive! Capture Li Gang alive!"

……

Deep in the alley, Li Gang, who was already somewhat panicked, became even more flustered after hearing the sound of pursuit behind him. He even tripped and fell heavily.

If it were a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man, it wouldn't matter if he fell, but Li Gang, who was in his thirties, had the body of someone over forty years old due to hard work. This fall made him grimace, and he tried to get up immediately, but failed.

However, hearing the approaching footsteps, he dared not stay on the ground any longer and quickly got up and ran forward.

Although Li Gang had lived in Bianjing for several years, he was still not very familiar with these alleys. He wandered around aimlessly for a long time, not only failing to shake off his pursuers but also allowing them to close the distance. Helpless, Li Gang could only try his luck and bumped into a house on the side of the street.

As luck would have it, he stumbled into the back door of Wanbaolou!

"who?"

The back door of Wanbaolou was guarded by Liangshan's elite guards. When they suddenly saw a figure rush in, they immediately became tense.

"I am just a passerby."

When Li Gang saw that there were more than a dozen people in the backyard, he was a little scared. Could it be that he had just escaped one danger only to fall into another?

"Passers-by?"

The elites of the Sky Curtain looked Li Gang up and down and sneered.

"A passerby who looks rushed, frantically trying to find a way out, and even trying to cover his face? Do you think we're fools?"

"Well... there are soldiers chasing us outside, so I chose to conceal myself to avoid being caught."

Li Gang said helplessly.

"caught?"

The soldiers peered out and indeed heard shouts of arrest coming from the alley. Their expressions turned serious, they quickly closed the door, and then asked Li Gang urgently:

"Who are you? If you don't tell us, we can't help you, and we'll just throw you out to them in a bit."

“I…I am Li Gang.”

Li Gang originally wanted to keep it a secret for a while longer, but when he saw that the people opposite were really going to throw him out, he chickened out and quickly revealed his name.

"Li Gang?"

The Sky Curtain soldiers were taken aback; they had heard of that name before.

"Which Li Gang? The one who occupied the capital and fought against Cai Jing?"

"It's me... but unfortunately my abilities are limited, and I can't do anything to that old scoundrel Cai Jing."

Li Gang sighed and admitted his identity.

"Weren't you imprisoned by him? What are you doing here?"

"My guards, though not entirely without conscience, released me, but they were quickly discovered. I fled and ended up here by mistake. I beg you brothers for help."

Li Gang asked the crowd for help.

"Change his clothes, I'm going to find his employer."

Hearing the approaching sound, one of the junior officers in the Sky Curtain immediately ordered his comrades to find clothes for Li Gang to change into.

"Would you like a human skin mask?"

"Nonsense, of course we do."

After the junior officer finished speaking, he immediately ran to the front yard to inform Lehe.

"Quick, change it for him!"

The other soldiers were also very efficient. They immediately took out a set of servants' clothes and put them on Li Gang. They also brought over a human skin mask and stuck it directly to Li Gang's face.

"Woo...Woo..."

The action was clearly a bit rough, and Li Gang responded with some pain.

"Don't scream! Be quiet if you want to live!"

The soldiers covered Li Gang's mouth to silence him. At this moment, there were already footsteps outside, and the pursuers could be heard knocking on doors from house to house.

Li Gang immediately fell silent. He obeyed the soldiers' orders, quickly changed his clothes, and put on the human skin mask.

"Open the door! Open the door!"

At this moment, the pursuers behind the door also arrived at the back door of Wanbaolou. They pounded on the back door and shouted.

"I'm coming!"

The group from Tianmu gestured for Li Gang to step back, and then a quick-thinking person went to open the door.

"Hey, sir, what brings you to the back door of Wanbaolou? The front door should be open by now."

"Huh? This is Wanbaolou?"

Just as the soldier knocking on the door was about to say something, he suddenly remembered that the servant had just mentioned "Wanbaolou".

"Yes, sir. Shall we have dinner or listen to music today?"

"No, we are arresting a criminal. This criminal is extremely vicious, and His Majesty has personally ordered his arrest."

The soldiers scanned the backyard but found nothing unusual.

"There really are people like that? Don't worry, sir, if we see that person, we'll let you know immediately!"

Tianmu Ren said with a smile.

"Alright! I'll be going now. Here's a portrait of that person. Be sure to let me know if you have any news!"

The pursuing soldiers left behind a portrait and then departed. After the people from Sky Curtain saw that nothing was amiss, they leisurely closed the door.

Then, they surrounded Li Gang and whispered:

"Lord Li Gang, Cai Jing has specifically named you for arrest. Tell me, what exactly happened?"
