Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Listen up, you people inside! I'll count to three! If you don't pay up, we won't be polite!"

At the entrance of the small village, the bandit leader shouted at the villagers.

"What should we do? Someone please help us!"

"Mother! Mother! I'm scared!"

"God! Open your eyes and punish these people!"

……

The villagers were even more frightened, and cries and prayers mingled together in a chaotic mess.

The village chief's face was also particularly grim. At this time, most of the able-bodied men in the village were either out working, hunting in the mountains, or working in the fields; they were basically not in the village.

Only a few young men, holding wooden sticks, stood with him at the village entrance, guarding the area.

"You all need to hurry and find your uncles and elders. Escape with them. These bandits are all armed with knives and guns; they're clearly not good people. Our village can't all die here."

The village chief wanted the young men to leave, but none of them intended to go. Although their faces were pale, they all gripped their wooden sticks tightly and stood still.

"Village chief, we're not afraid!"

"Yes, village chief, let's fight them!"

The village chief wanted to say something more, but he realized that the bandits might have lost patience and were about to charge!

"Charge in! One..."

The bandit leader shouted, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by an even louder roar!

"Take your life!"

With a roar, Ren Yuan charged forward, wielding his broadsword!

Behind him, the Liangshan generals, along with their personal guards, also rushed forward!

Before the bandits behind could react, seven or eight of them were chopped down!

"Who are you people? How dare you kill me... Ah!"

A bandit who looked like the leader turned around, about to ask a question, when a flying sword pierced his throat!

"What the hell? You dare ask?"

Qiao Daoqing flicked his wrist, and the sword flew back into his hand.

"Good heavens! Strategist, you actually know how to fly with a sword!"

Mi Sheng was taken aback. Was the strategist really that powerful?

"You idiot, didn't you see the mechanism on my wrist?"

Qiao Daoqing possesses a secret mechanism passed down through his sect on his right forearm, containing incredibly strong steel wire. This mechanism connects to his sword, allowing him to retract it after throwing it to kill an enemy, creating the visual effect of a flying sword. (For those who can't imagine what it is, please refer to Yuanfang's mechanical chain sword in the TV series "Detective Dee," except the chain is replaced with steel wire.)

"Oh, I see!"

Mi Sheng laughed loudly, then dodged a bandit's sneak attack by sidestepping to the side, turned around and elbowed the man in the temple, then stabbed him through the heart.

These bandits were very weak fighters. Although they may have killed people, they had no strategy or method. When they encountered skilled fighters like Mi Sheng, they were simply beaten to a pulp.

As for their dozen or so horsemen, they were not worth mentioning. Firstly, their riding skills were mediocre, and secondly, their horses were all skinny. People with great strength like Ren Yuan and Lu Zhishen would have easily overturned them, horse and all!

Ma Ling then demonstrated his Brick Method.

Ren Yuan felt that the gold brick was just like the legendary Heaven-Turning Seal, hitting wherever it was pointed. As long as it hit the face, teeth would fly out, blood would flow from the mouth and nose, and the skin would be torn open.

With these gold bricks, every shot is a sure hit!

Sun An used a knife instead of a sword, wielding two knives in his hands and drawing his bow with both hands. Wherever he went, men and horses fell!

Wang Yin was dumbfounded. Was this even human?

"How about it, Brother Wang? My brother is amazing, isn't he? Don't worry, with these brothers taking action, your village will definitely be fine."

Shi Qian usually doesn't participate in this kind of work. He comes over and puts his arm around Wang Yin's shoulder, then chats with him.

"That's amazing! I just heard you guys talking about Liangshan. Where is Liangshan? Are the people on Liangshan all this powerful?"

Wang Yin had never heard of Liangshan, partly because he was out of touch with the world, and partly because Shezhou was indeed quite far from Liangshan.

"Liangshan is a paradise that everyone worked together to build, led by Brother Ren Yuan. There are many powerful brothers on the mountain. So, Brother Wang, are you coming?"

"I do want to, but what about my fellow villagers..."

Wang Yin was indeed tempted. Since the Liangshan leaders were so powerful, it meant that the place must be very safe, at least no other bandits would bother them.

"It's alright, we'll go up the mountain together. If anyone is willing, we can all go together. We'll pretend to be a caravan, and we'll personally escort you back first."

Shi Qian patted his chest confidently. Liangshan wasn't worried about a lack of visitors. Besides, if they didn't have enough guards, he could send carrier pigeons to call for reinforcements!

"Aren't you going back?"

"Brother came to the south this time to visit some great talents, such as you, Brother Wang, and Military Advisor Xiao. I estimate that I won't go back until all the people are gathered. Brother Wang, you can go ahead with the others. There are other brothers on the mountain who will personally pick you up."

Shi Qian knew that Wang Yin was just one of his brother's targets; he had many other people he hadn't even approached yet.

“Okay, as long as the village is alright, I will mobilize everyone to go up the mountain together.”

Wang Yin made a decision. He originally thought that the small mountain village could be free from outside influences and live a peaceful life, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Since that's the case, he decided to take the initiative and go out to explore!

In just a short while, the battle situation below has almost been settled.

With the combined efforts of several top experts, these small fry were truly no match for them!

In the end, only the bandit leader and one of his henchmen remained.

Ren Yuan swung his knife forcefully, and the blood on the blade splattered onto the henchman's face, causing the henchman to scream in terror.

"Do you want to die or live?"

"Great, great hero, I want to live, please, please don't kill me."

The henchmen were trembling with fear.

Who knows?

Just now, they were happily riding horses and singing, preparing to rob someone.

Suddenly, a group of powerful individuals rushed out and wiped them all out!

They didn't do anything to anyone!

"And you, are you going to tell us or not?"

Ren Yuan turned to ask the leader, but the leader was very tough. He spat out a mouthful of saliva and then turned his head to the side.

"Okay, I got it. Gag him. Drag him away and give him a beating first."

Ren Yuan didn't tolerate this boss's bad habits. What kind of lousy behavior is this, trying to act tough in front of me?

Then he turned to ask the henchman again.

"I ask, you answer, understand?"

"Understood, understood, please ask, my esteemed hero! I will definitely answer!"

The henchmen nodded vigorously, immediately pledging their loyalty.

"Mushrooms? Which route are you taking? What's the price?"

Ren Yuan patted the henchman's face with his broadsword.

"Huh? What did you say, sir?"

The henchman was dumbfounded. What was this?

"Moha moha?"

"Aba Aba?"

"Have you paid your respects to Grandma?"

"..."

"Sunbathing? Sunbathing?"

"??? Master, could you please say something I can understand???"

The henchman was about to cry. "What is all this? Why can't I understand anything?"

“Kill him. He doesn’t know anything and isn’t on our side.”

Ren Yuan gestured towards Mi Sheng with his lip, thinking that this little minion knew nothing and was definitely not of any value.

"Okay, brother."

Mi Sheng chuckled and reached out to draw his sword.

The henchmen were so scared they peed their pants!

"Great, great, great hero! No! Don't kill me! I'll tell you everything! We are the Holy Duke's troops, we were ordered to massacre the village, and then we will frame the government for this massacre, saying that they killed innocent people and took credit for it!"

"Look at our weapons, they're all standard-issue knives from the government offices. This way, the people will hate the government and join us! I'm really just an ordinary nobody, nothing special, please spare me, hero!"

Ren Yuan raised an eyebrow upon hearing the title "Holy Duke".

Oh ho, there's an unexpected surprise?

Fang La, it's you again?
