Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Today in Hangzhou, the garrison took out all the few fireworks they had stored in the warehouse and started setting them off in broad daylight.

For no other reason than to add some festive atmosphere to the wedding of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

On the main streets of Hangzhou, the imperial court also set up some simple porridge stalls to distribute celebratory porridge to the people of Hangzhou.

Originally, according to Duan Sanniang's wishes, this should have been the last and most important marriage of her life, and she should have held a grand banquet to celebrate with the people of the whole city.

However, Fang Qifo and Fang Fei firmly refused the request. They were joking, saying that hosting a banquet would be too expensive. Hangzhou was not just any place; with so many people in the city, if everyone came to eat, the Ming Dynasty's treasury would lose at least 20% of its funds.

With 20% of the money and grain, what couldn't they do?

After some wrangling, the solution was finally to distribute celebratory porridge throughout the city.

Duan Sanniang was somewhat dissatisfied with the extravagance, but considering the Fang family's situation, she eventually agreed. However, she stipulated that the Fang family needed to set off fireworks to add to the festivities. Fortunately, there were some fireworks displays in Hangzhou, and Fang La wasn't particularly familiar with firearms, so he agreed to the request.

"Sis, you look beautiful today!"

In the camp, Duan Wu looked at his sister dressed in green and couldn't help but praise her.

"This isn't my first marriage. You've seen me dressed like this three times already, and you're always the one with the sweetest words."

During this period, Duan San Niang miraculously lost some weight. Putting aside everything else, at least her face regained much of its former slender appearance. Although her body was still unusual, her face looked better.

"Girl, you have indeed become more beautiful since you started practicing that Ming Cult skill, it's just that you usually wear a veil so others can't see it."

Duan Er also remarked that his sister's current appearance was a boon for Fang La! However, some of the unorthodox techniques of the Ming Cult were indeed quite interesting.

"Second brother, are you ready?"

Duan San Niang asked her second brother.

"Don't worry, sister. Your second brother isn't the same barbarian he used to be. Fang La will definitely cause trouble for your wedding. I've already told our people to be prepared."

Duan Er said that he had specially selected 800 elite soldiers as guards, and that if the situation changed, these 800 veterans from Huaixi would definitely be able to protect everyone and help them leave.

"Good, Second Brother has really impressed me now." Duan San Niang said, "It's a good thing that my brother has made progress."

"Fifth Brother, after we leave, the military camp is in your and Jinniang's hands. If none of our men return tonight to report that we are safe, then you should muster your troops and attack Hangzhou!"

Duan Sanniang initially took more than 20,000 elite troops from Huaixi, and later plundered more than 10,000 more from Tian Hu. In addition, she recruited more troops herself after becoming the Dharma King of the Ming Cult, and now she has more than 50,000 troops under her command. Moreover, there are some martial arts experts under their command, such as the Su siblings, who are also a brother and sister duo, and have joined them.

What's particularly coincidental is that the Su siblings, like the Duan siblings, also consist of three people: the eldest brother Su Liang, the younger sister Su Jinniang, and the youngest brother Su Yi. Moreover, the younger sister is the most capable among the three, so how could they not feel like they had known each other for a long time? Duan Sanniang even became sworn sisters with Su Jinniang.

The Su family was also a wealthy family. After the three siblings led several thousand men to join Duan San Niang's forces, her strength as the Purple Mulberry Dragon King grew stronger and stronger. Although she could not compare with those giants, Fang La could not easily control her.

This is also a major reason why Duan Sanniang dared to challenge Fang La. If she were really provoked, it would be a fight to the death, and Fang La would not benefit at all.

"Sister, the Bat King has arrived with his wedding party."

Dressed in red, Su Jinniang entered Duan Sanniang's tent. She was highly skilled in martial arts and loved wearing red, so she was nicknamed "Peach Blossom Girl" in the martial arts world. After becoming sworn sisters with Duan Sanniang, the two appreciated each other. Su Jinniang was skilled in martial arts and very loyal. Sometimes when Duan Sanniang was not around, Su Jinniang would be the leader of the Zisang Dragon King's tribe, and Duan Wu would listen to her.

Of course, another factor was that Duan Wu liked Su Jinniang and hoped to marry her.

"Thank you for your hard work, sister."

Duan Sanniang looked at Su Jinniang and smiled:

"Little sister, you are so beautiful. When you wear your wedding dress, you will surely charm countless men!"

"No way, it's my sister who's beautiful."

Su Jinniang walked behind Duan Sanniang, looked at Duan Sanniang in the mirror, and her eyes revealed an expression of envy:

"Sister, what's it like to get married?"

"Getting married is just like any other thing," Duan Sanniang patted Su Jinniang's hand. "I've been married three times already, so I don't feel anything special anymore. But you've never been married before. How about I give you a grand wedding when you get married?"

"really?"

Su Jinniang showed a joyful expression, and at this moment, Duan Wu also spoke anxiously:

"Jinniang! Jinniang! Don't worry, I'll definitely give you a grand show! It won't be any less impressive than my sister's!"

"Why are you putting on such a grand show for me? Who are you to me?" Su Jinniang rolled her eyes at Duan Wu. She wasn't unaware that Duan Wu had feelings for her, but she felt that her future husband should at least be better than her in some way.

Although Duan Wu is very good to me, well... it's not right now.

"I, I..." Duan Wu was very anxious. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it for a moment.

"Fifth brother, wipe the drool from the corner of your mouth!"

Duan San Niang interrupted Duan Wu.

"Jinniang is beautiful and skilled in martial arts. What makes you think you can marry her? If you really want to marry her, you'd better do something to show everyone!"

"Yes, sister."

Hearing Duan San Niang's words, Duan Wu, though filled with regret, dared not say anything more after being told off by his sister.

However, Duan San Niang then turned to Su Jin Niang and said, "Sister, my brother is a bit simple-minded, but he's a good person. After I get married, could you please take care of him for me? Just to give me face, okay?"

Although Duan San Niang's words were a request, Su Jin Niang understood the hidden meaning: she hoped that Duan Wu could be given a chance.

"Whatever you say, sister, I'll do." Su Jinniang was indeed very obedient to Duan Sanniang, and after thinking for a moment, she agreed. Duan Sanniang's lips curled up, clearly very satisfied, while Duan Wu stood there dumbfounded, not understanding anything.

"Report! The Bat King is urging us outside the camp, saying that the auspicious time is approaching and urging the Dragon King to hurry up and get into the sedan chair so as not to delay the wedding."

Another messenger came to urge them on, and Duan Sanniang frowned slightly, clearly dissatisfied that the atmosphere had been ruined.

"Okay, I'm coming right now. Fifth brother, carry me out."

Duan Sanniang put on the veil and gestured for Duan Wu to carry her out. Sure enough, although Duan Wu was not very capable, he was quite sturdy and could carry Duan Sanniang.

The group followed them out of the camp and saw Fang Fei waiting on horseback in the distance.

"Bat King, why didn't the Emperor come to welcome the bride in person?"

Duan Er asked with a feigned smile.

"His Majesty is waiting for His Highness in the palace."

Fang Fei knew that Fang La had a plan for today, but before the plan could begin, he had to ensure that the wedding banquet would go smoothly.

"Bat King, come here, I have something to tell you."

Duan San Niang's voice came from under the veil. Fang Fei was stunned. He really didn't want to go over, but then he thought of his mission and had no choice but to bite the bullet and go over.

"Your Majesty, please don't delay the auspicious time. Is there anything you wish to say..."

Before Fang Fei could finish speaking, Duan San Niang suddenly changed her voice, becoming plaintive and sorrowful, filled with longing and resentment. Four words drifted into his ears, causing Fang Fei's heart to crumble:

"Brother Bat King..."
