Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"what's the situation?!"

Ren Yuan and the others had just watched Cai Jing, who had gone berserk, searching for enemies in the air. They thought Cai Jing would calm down after a while, but who would have thought that he would actually climb onto the railing.

Climbing up is one thing, but what if Cai Jing is agile enough to go up and down? No one needs to worry about him.

But who could have imagined that after searching for his enemy in the air for a while, Cai Jing would actually, actually jump off the building on his own initiative!

This scene left Ren Yuan and the others dumbfounded. "No way, Lao Cai, are you serious?!"

"Your Majesty!!"

As for Cai Jing, because he had just killed a eunuch, no one was close to him, so when Cai Jing jumped down, no one had a chance to stop him!

"Bang!!!"

Cai Jing's leap was graceful and fluid, accompanied by the whooshing sound of wind.

The moment he hit the ground, there was a loud bang, which startled the soldiers around him!

When they looked over, Cai Jing was lying limply on the ground like a tattered sack, his limbs in a very strange position, and blood was slowly flowing out from under him.

Cai Jing had bloodstains in some of his hair and looked very disheveled; blood was gushing uncontrollably from his mouth and nose.

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty?"

The soldiers around Cai Jing were also somewhat frightened when they saw him like this.

No way, the Emperor just died right in front of me? Or did he jump off a building and die?

"cough……"

Cai Jing was no longer able to answer. He was already poisoned, and his body's functions had long been at their limit. Now that he had fallen like this, there was really no way to save him!

He could only make incomprehensible sounds or weakly move his fingers.

In that instant, his eyes cleared, no longer displaying the frenzy they had just moments before.

Ouch... Did I fly down from there?

I am not reconciled, Ren Yuan. Why have you always been so lucky? How can someone as insignificant as you do better than me?

I refuse to accept this! I refuse to accept this!

What a pity... I'm about to die... My Lai Kingdom will ultimately benefit you!

Cai Jing tried to move his head, but he couldn't lift it up. However, by changing his position, he could still see Ren Yuan's large head peeking out from the city wall out of the corner of his eye, and he could even feel Ren Yuan's incredulous gaze.

Ren Yuan seems to be saying:

"Old Cai, what are you up to?"

Cough cough... You brat... You've got lucky again...

Looking at Ren Yuan, Cai Jing was filled with resentment, but the call of death left him without even the strength to curse Ren Yuan.

"Heaven is unfair! If I had lived ten more years, I would have made this brat understand what a true king is!"

"Hmph, Ren Yuan, don't think that just because you're having a smooth ride now, you can be a good emperor! So many people throughout history have wanted to be good emperors, but how many have succeeded?!"

"I will die before you, but I will be down there, watching you fail! Watching you become as desolate as I am..."

Cai Jing wanted to say something harsh to Ren Yuanfa one last time, but he didn't have time. Before he could finish his last words, Cai Jing's head slumped to the side, and he breathed his last.

"Brother, Cai Jing, is he really dead?"

The people of Dayi were somewhat incredulous. No, this turn of events came rather suddenly. We didn't plan to take Tokyo today!

But now that you, Cai Jing, are all gone, what about Tokyo, and this Lai Kingdom...?

“He was already severely poisoned, and with that fall, he’s definitely done for.”

Although it was too far away to see clearly, Ren Yuan saw that the soldiers around him called out to Cai Jing but he did not respond, so he thought that Cai Jing was probably already dead.

"So, brother, you managed to scare Cai Jing to death with just one arrow? If this gets out, who can stop your fame?"

Ren Yuan was also surprised. "Old Cai, why are you being so polite to me? I don't even know how to repay this generous gift!"

How about... we help you collect your remains? After all, jumping down like that, your death was truly gruesome.

Meanwhile, the bolder members of the Imperial Guards cautiously approached Cai Jing's body, calling out "Your Majesty" as they drew near. Of course, Cai Jing was no longer able to respond.

One of the bolder soldiers reached out and poked his hand into Cai Jing's nostrils, then quickly withdrew it as if he'd been electrocuted! His face changed drastically!

"How is it? What happened to His Majesty?"

His comrade beside him quickly asked.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

The soldier who had checked the patient's breath was now speechless, his earlier bravado completely gone!

"What's wrong with His Majesty?!"

Everyone around was extremely anxious. Although they might have guessed what was going on, they still held onto a sliver of hope until it was confirmed.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has passed away!"

Although he didn't really want to say it outright, with so many people watching, he had no choice but to speak.

"His Majesty has passed away!!"

The news caused an uproar among the entire Imperial Guard!

No, the Emperor was perfectly fine just a moment ago, how could he have passed away so suddenly?!

So, what do we do? Should we keep fighting?

All the Imperial Guards immediately turned their attention to their leader. Now everyone wanted to know, what should they do?

"All Imperial Guards, retreat!"

"Kill all Imperial Guards!"

The leaders of the Imperial Guards looked at each other, bewildered. The incident had happened so suddenly that they didn't know what to do.

Therefore, dissenting voices arose within the Imperial Guards!

Some want to fight, some want to retreat!

"What's the point of fighting? The Emperor is gone!"

The general who ordered the retreat glared at his colleagues.

"His Majesty's body is barely cold, and you've already harbored disloyal thoughts! You're truly shameless!"

The general who chose to continue fighting was a staunch supporter of Cai Jing, and he naturally rebuked the colleague who was preparing to retreat.

"Disloyal? We won't risk our lives for Cai Jing!"

Those generals who chose to be dismissed showed no mercy. After Cai Jing came to power, he suppressed and replaced many generals in the Imperial Guard. This can't be blamed on him, as many Imperial Guard generals were still loyal to the previous Song dynasty; they had no choice but to be replaced!

However, since Cai Jing's ascension to power was somewhat hasty, even if the Imperial Guards were replaced, it couldn't be guaranteed that everyone would be replaced. Some people who were still loyal to the Song Dynasty remained in hiding.

"You bastard, I won't let you get away with this!"

Enraged, the generals loyal to Cai Jing charged at the others!

"You think I'm afraid of you?!"

Other Imperial Guard generals were also furious. "You bunch of Cai Jing's remnants! Cai Jing is dead, and you're still acting like tyrants?"

"Kill!!"

The Imperial Guards split into two groups and began fighting fiercely within the palace! The brutality of this battle was no less than when the Zhe family army attacked the city earlier!

"Good heavens, why did they start fighting first?"

On the city wall, Ren Yuan and the others were still considering what to do next when the Imperial Guards below the city suddenly started fighting.

"Uncle!"

After seeing this scene, Ren Yuan made up his mind and turned to look at Hua Rong.

Hua Rong nodded in tacit agreement, immediately drew a signal arrow from his quiver, lit it, and shot it into the sky!

"Brother, Cai Jing has given us a great gift! I'll inform that brat Zhe Kecun right away! Let's storm the palace!"

Lu Zhishen immediately declared that the opportunity was right in front of him, and if they didn't seize the palace today, they would be letting down Cai Jing for his earlier leap!

Ren Yuan nodded, and at the same time swung the three-pointed sword forward with force! He shouted loudly:

"Dayi Army! Attack the Imperial Palace!!"
