Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"绻貹."

"elder brother."

"Take him away and give him a quick death."

Ren Yuan waved his hand. This little minion had said everything he should and shouldn't have said, so there was no need to scare him anymore.

When it's time to hit the road, a group of people should be all together.

"Great hero, please spare my life..."

Mi Sheng dragged the unfortunate fellow down, and Ren Yuan turned his head to look at the leader again.

"Was what he just said true or false?"

"Hmph! Not everyone is a spineless coward. I'd rather die than tell!"

But the leader seemed very tough; even though he was bruised and battered, he refused to say a word.

"If you have backbone, then I'll take it all as true."

Ren Yuan smiled and said, "Trying to play tough with me? I'm not going to put up with that."

"Then spread the word: Fang La impersonated a government official to commit murder, intending to frame the government and plot a rebellion. Everyone must not join his damn Manichaeism, or they will be struck by lightning."

"You, you bastard! You're not allowed to slander our Holy Duke! This is all for the greater cause! The greater cause requires sacrifices!"

Upon hearing this, the bandit leader immediately became enraged.

"What a load of rubbish! Why don't you go and sacrifice yourself? Why didn't Fang La sacrifice himself? Why let a bunch of innocent people die?"

Ren Yuan slapped him across the face. What kind of nonsense is that? It's disgusting to hear!

"Brother Wang, this man is your responsibility. You decide what to do."

Ren Yuan handed the leadership over to Wang Yin, since he was the overall commander of the village massacre operation.

"Brother, can I borrow a knife?"

Wang Yin spoke to Sun An, who then glanced at Ren Yuan, who nodded slightly before handing the knife to Wang Yin.

“I was just a stonemason, and all I ever wanted in my life was to live a peaceful life. If you Manichaeans want to cause trouble, then do it yourselves. Why are you bothering me?”

“When you get to the underworld, if King Yama asks about it, remember, the one who killed you was Wang Dahu from Shezhou!”

After saying that, Wang Yin swung his hands forcefully, and the long knife sliced ​​across the man's neck, drawing out a string of blood beads!

"Chief, Wang Yin has given his orders!"

After killing the man, Wang Yin returned the knife to Sun An and then bowed to Ren Yuan.

Without Ren Yuan and others, Wang Yin himself would not have been confident that he could protect the village from such a large-scale attack. For Wang Yin, Ren Yuan, or rather Liangshan, is now his savior.

Both morally and logically, he should join Liangshan!

"Brother Wang, please rise quickly. Once we're on Liangshan, we're all brothers. There's no need for all this bowing and scraping; it'll only make us feel distant!"

It wasn't easy for Ren Yuan to help Wang Yin up. Wang Yin was arguably the most difficult person to climb up the mountain so far.

“Brother, Brother Wang said he’s going to talk to the whole village and try to get everyone to go up the mountain together. I’ll send a message by carrier pigeon to notify the mountain stronghold to pick them up.”

"Okay, Brother Wang, I'm counting on you for the people in the village."

Ren Yuan nodded. This was a good thing. This village was secluded; there might be some hermit masters among them. Even if there were nothing there, people would still go up the mountain—it was a sure thing!

"Fellow villagers! It's me, Tiger! Those bandits have all been killed! You're all safe now!"

"This Chief Ren is our great benefactor! With the Chief Ren here, justice has been served!"

Wang Yin hurried to the village entrance to knock on the door. The shouts of battle had been deafening, and the village chief wasn't really sure what had happened, only that there were probably more than one group of people outside. But now, upon hearing the noise, he exclaimed, "Hey, isn't that Wang Jia Da Hu?! Then it's alright! We're safe!"

"Fellow villagers! We're safe now!"

The village chief immediately signaled to everyone that it was safe, and then quickly opened the village gate.

"Big Tiger! It really is you!"

"Great! We're safe!"

"Brother Big Tiger is amazing!"

In an instant, Wang Yin became the object of worship for the entire village, while Ren Yuan and the others stood aside and did not disturb them.

The more power Wang Yin wields, the better it is for them!

……

After Wang Yin and the whole village finished explaining the whole story, the villagers were initially incredulous, and then fell silent.

After all, it's the place I've lived in for so many years. It's hard to leave just like that.

"Big Tiger, can we trust this chieftain's words?"

“Village chief, it was this chieftain and his men who saved our village just now. What is there in our village that would make them covet it? I think it’s believable.”

From their interaction, Wang Yin felt that although Ren Yuan was a bit simple-minded, he was indeed a good person! (Ren Yuan: Huh? Who's simple-minded?)

"Then, let's believe it this once!"

The village chief was also farsighted.

Now that the village has been discovered, we might escape this time, but we might not be so lucky next time. We should move away!

"Shi Qian, Lü Fang, Guo Sheng, the three of you and half of the guards will stay behind to assist Wang Yin and the villagers in relocating to Liangshan."

Upon learning of this news, Ren Yuan immediately made the necessary arrangements.

"Oh, brother, aren't you taking me to Jiangnan?"

Shi Qian looked "sad".

"Get lost! You're the chief intelligence officer of Liangshan, and you're also the one who communicates with the stronghold via carrier pigeons. Now that so many villagers want to go up the mountain, if you don't take responsibility, who will?"

“Brother, let me do it. I’ve just arrived at Liangshan and haven’t made any contributions yet, but it would be a bit abrupt to ask me to take charge of the Tianmu Camp with Brother Shi Qian. Let me do it this time. I guarantee that I will safely deliver the villagers to Liangshan. With the assistance of Brothers Lü Fang and Guo Sheng, there will be no problem.”

Ma Ling stepped forward at this moment, offering to help Shi Qian take on the task. He could tell that Shi Qian preferred to continue his journey to Jiangnan, so he decided to take the job as a gift to Shi Qian.

See, do you see that? This is what it means to have eyes for what's happening!

“Yes, brother, I think Brother Ma Ling is very suitable. I will explain everything clearly, and if anything happens, with his lightness skill, he can catch up with us very quickly.”

Shi Qian, being a clever man, naturally understood Ma Ling's meaning and accepted the brother's kind offer.

“That’s fine then. I’ll leave this to you. Brother Wang, you go back to the mountain with the main group first, and then go find Mr. Wen Huanzhang. He will make arrangements for you.”

Ren Yuan was at his wit's end with Shi Qian, so he figured he might as well follow him.

Then he turned to Wang Yin and gave him some instructions, because it seemed that Wang Yin was both literate and skilled in martial arts. As for martial arts, there were many masters on Liangshan, and Wang Yin, a self-taught master, could improve naturally by sparring with them more.

As for writing... for now, I'll practice with Wen Huanzhang and Zhu Wu.

"Wang Yin obeys, Chieftain. We'll meet on Liangshan."

The Liangshan heroes rested that night in Wang Yin's small mountain village. Instead of going to the villagers' homes, they spent the night in an abandoned, dilapidated temple at the village entrance.

Because Ren Yuan had previously issued an order.

The various camps under Liangshan can fight against those local tyrants, bullies, and scoundrels who prey on the people, but they cannot take even a needle or thread from ordinary people.

Those who enter a village to stay overnight must not disturb the people, harm them, or rob them of their property; violators will be executed.

Well, this rule, which originated from a famous military regulation in his previous life, might be hard for people to understand, but he still insisted on adhering to this principle.

After all, all those years of studying political ideology in my previous life weren't for nothing. Even if I time-traveled, some things aren't so easily changed. (If anyone still wants to argue here, I can only say that reading free novels is fine, but getting your thinking skewed is not. I'm a person on the socialist path, and like-minded people are welcome to read my book.)

It wasn't until the next day, after everyone in the village had finished packing up, that the Liangshan men dispersed.

Wang Yin and the others returned to Liangshan as planned, while Ren Yuan and the others continued their search for people in Jiangnan.

This time, however, they had a guide.

In Wang Yin's village, there is a man named Zhuan Jiu (who is making a cameo appearance? Please acknowledge him!), a cook whose ancestor is said to be the famous assassin Zhuan Zhu.

It's a pity that his ancestors didn't pass down his assassin skills, so now all he can do is cook.

He said he had worked in restaurants in various states in Jiangnan for many years.

But in the end, he didn't make it big and had to live in seclusion in the village.

"Why? Is it because your cooking is bad?"

Mi Sheng asked.

"Nonsense! I'm an excellent cook! How could this leader slander me without any basis!"

"Then why?"

"I tried some of the food..."

You actually stole some food!

"Well, a cook tasting the food, can that be called stealing? If the cook doesn't do that, the harvest won't be any good!"

"Stop teasing him, brother. I'm asking you, do you really know the person I'm looking for?"

"Chief, this news is definitely true, don't worry. It's just Shi Dabao, nicknamed Stone! I know him! We're both from Fuzhou! Fellow townsmen!"

Zhuan Jiu patted his chest, his face showing an expression that said, "Please believe me!"

“I was close to him. Back when I was an apprentice in the kitchen of a restaurant, he was a waiter and a thug. I saw him wield that meteor hammer, and he was incredibly accurate! Moreover, back in the VIP restaurant, Da Bao would often go on stage to perform his meteor hammer! The tips were substantial!”

A man from Fuzhou, skilled with a meteor hammer, named Shi Dabao. This must be Shi Bao.

After thinking it over, Ren Yuan decided to give this guy who claimed to be Zhuan Zhu's descendant a try.

"Then you'd better lead the way. Whether or not you're the person I'm looking for, I'll give you a reward once we get there."

Ren Yuan said to Zhuan Jiu.

"Hehe, Chief, I don't want any reward money. All I want is a position as the head cook after I join Liangshan! Trust me! I really am a great cook!"

"I don't believe you, unless you cook us a nice meal during our break!"

Mi Sheng said he didn't believe it!

"I really can!"

"Then tell me, what can you do?"

"Steamed lamb, steamed bear's paw, steamed deer tail..."
