Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

A grand banquet is being held today at Yuliu Manor.

The four owners of the manor all set out today, personally going down to Taihu Lake to catch fish.

The fish that were caught weighed at least 20 pounds each.

So plump and fresh!

This was indeed a good feast for the Liangshan heroes.

Lu Zhishen, in particular, usually eats a lot of meat, and finds eating fish unpleasant because of the bones.

But this time, the fresh fish from Taihu Lake truly satisfied Lu Zhishen's cravings.

During the banquet, everyone toasted each other and chatted happily.

"Brother Ren Yuan, how is my fish?"

Fei Bao was also very satisfied with today's results.

"Okay, great."

Ren Yuan nodded. He had to admit that the fishermen of Taihu Lake were no less skilled than those from Liangshan. Moreover, Ni Yun had just mentioned that many of them were also skilled at raising fish and crabs.

Great! Although Liangshan has no shortage of aquatic products, it would be even better if we could develop aquaculture.

"Fei Bao, are you willing to bring your brothers to Liangshan? I can't guarantee anything else, but you'll definitely get a position as the commander of a naval battalion."

Ren Yuan took the initiative to recruit Fei Bao, a clear-headed hero from Taihu Lake, who was perfect for joining Liangshan.

"Brother, I just have one question."

Fei Bao hesitated for a moment, then spoke.

"Is my brother going to be recruited by the imperial court in the future?"

"Recruit the emperor? That Zhao Xiaoyou? Does he even deserve it?"

Ren Yuan laughed dismissively. Of all the emperors in the Song Dynasty, only Zhao Da was decent. As for the rest... well, I'm too lazy to talk about them.

"Don't worry, I definitely won't surrender. As for the future, it's not the time to talk about it now. Anyway, you know, the world is vast, and what I want is also vast."

"Fei Bao greets his elder brother, hoping that his elder brother will live up to his words today."

Fei Bao's doubts were dispelled, and he immediately turned around and bowed.

"We have met our elder brother!"

Ni Yun and the others gladly bowed down, thinking, "Great! From now on, we are also members of Liangshan."

"Brother, some of the fishermen on this side of Taihu Lake should also be willing to go up the mountain. Could you give me a day or two to organize things?"

Fei Bao wanted to take the others from Taihu with him. He was clever. At this time, the Liangshan navy had already gained some fame in the Jianghu because of the last joint operation between the three places. Fei Bao also hoped to take his men to compete with the Liangshan navy. That way, no one would say that his position as the navy leader was obtained through connections.

“No problem, just bring as many people as you can. I have Bu Qing prepare a few boats in the next day or two so I can take a stroll on the Qiantang River.”

"Brother, do you wish to go to the Qiantang River again to see if there are any heroes? But we haven't heard of any."

Ni Yun was somewhat surprised. Was there really such a remarkable person in Qiantang?

I haven't heard of that!

Ok?

Ni Yun's words puzzled Ren Yuan. Was there no one in Qiantang?

"Bu Qing, arrange a boat and take your brother to inquire about it."

Fei Bao thought for a moment, and since his brother thought there were people there, he decided to let his brother go and take a look.

"Daoqing."

"What are your instructions, brother?"

"I'll take the others to check out the situation in Qiantang. You stay here and wait for Fei Bao and the others to get the team organized. Then we'll head north by water. Oh, and Shi Bao, Yun Niang, Master Deng, and Military Advisor Xiao, you should also go back to the mountain first. Master Guanghui will personally entertain Master Deng."

"Brother, if we divide the troops like this, won't you have too few people around you?"

Qiao Daoqing was a little worried.

“Yes, brother, is this alright? One of us, Brother Qiao or I, should stay.” Xiao Jiahui was also a little worried.

"Haha, don't worry, with Master Sun Anmi and Master Lu together, we can go anywhere in the world," Ren Yuan said with a smile.

"Brother, I'm here too."

Shi Qian raised his hand, "How could I be left out?"

"Yes, and Shi Qian too. If the five of us work together, we're practically invincible."

"Alright, then be careful, brother. I will bring Fei Bao's men back to the mountain safely. But brother, if there are no people in Qiantang, you must come back quickly. The chieftain can't stay away from the mountain for too long."

Qiao Daoqing is now genuinely worried about the counterfeit goods.

"Don't worry, if the trip to Qiantang is unsuccessful, I'll just take the waterway to Jiangzhou and then return to the mountains."

"Alright, then I'll arrange for my brothers to meet you in Jiangzhou later?"

"No need for that. When you get back, keep an eye on Daming Prefecture. Cai Jing's birthday is coming up soon, and I reckon something bad will happen to him this year."

Ren Yuan thought for a moment and decided to take care of Yang Zhi. He wondered if Yang Zhi still remembered what he and Lin Chong had said when they first met him and offered him wine.

"That birthday tribute that they keep sending and losing? They've been trying to send it for years without success. I wonder which hero got it."

Qiao Daoqing also remembered that there was indeed such a thing. Liang Zhongshu had sent gifts to his father-in-law for two or three consecutive years, but they were all lost. If he lost them again this year, he would really lose all face.

"Yes, just pay more attention to this."

After giving instructions to Qiao Daoqing, Ren Yuan asked Bu Qing to prepare a boat, as he wanted to go to the Qiantang River himself.

……

A few days later, on the Qiantang River.

The Liangshan heroes sailed slowly aboard a large ship.

“Brother, it’s been several days, and we still haven’t found any news about those four people. I’ve asked the fishermen and boatmen in Qiantang several times.”

Shi Qian took off his straw hat, took a big gulp of water, and said to Ren Yuan.

"That's strange. Could it be that these four people aren't famous yet?"

If even Shi Qian couldn't find out the answer, then Ren Yuan should reflect on whether it was his own problem.

The four dragons of Zhejiang are: Jade Claw Dragon Cheng Gui, Playing Pearl Dragon Xie Fu, Brocade Scale Dragon Zhai Yuan, and Surging Wave Dragon Qiao Zheng. If I remember correctly...

How could such a person not be found?

"Brother, is it possible that these people haven't come to the Qiantang River area yet, or that they don't have any big names in the underworld yet?"

Shi Qian thought for a moment, then asked Ren Yuan.

He believed his brother wouldn't speak without reason, so these four people must exist. But since he couldn't find these "Four Dragons," it must mean they hadn't arrived yet, or their identities hadn't been revealed.

Goodness, my brother even knows the nickname that hasn't been revealed yet!

Brother, you still say you weren't born with knowledge!

Shi Qian looked at Ren Yuan with even more admiration!

"Shi Qian, what are you thinking about?"

Ren Yuan noticed Shi Qian's somewhat intense gaze and thought that this guy was probably thinking of some crazy things again.

"No, brother, don't worry. Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed. I will not tell a second person about the things you were born knowing!"

Shi Qian patted his chest and guaranteed that the sound was so loud that everyone on the ship heard it!

I won't tell a second person, but I will tell a third, fourth, fifth... and many, many more people!

There's nothing wrong with that!

Besides, my brother was definitely the first to know that I was born with knowledge, and I, Shi Qian, was the second. I certainly wouldn't tell myself!

perfect!

Perfect logic!

Distracted by Shi Qian's words, Ren Yuan suddenly remembered something!

Yup!

When he went to inquire, he always used the nickname plus the name.

But he forgot that the nickname "Four Dragons of Zhejiang" was given to them by Fang La after they joined him in the original story!

They certainly don't know these nicknames now! Even if the original owner heard them, he might think they were someone else with the same name and a nickname.

I miscalculated.

Ren Yuan chuckled self-deprecatingly. Everyone makes mistakes, and even the best horses stumble. He had been too confident.

"Brother, should I go ask again?"

Seeing Ren Yuan's self-deprecating expression, Shi Qian quickly spoke up.

"It's alright. This time it was my mistake. We missed our target, so the responsibility lies with me. Now we need to go to Jiangzhou immediately. We can't miss that good man there."

Ren Yuan made a quick decision: they had already wasted too much time on the Qiantang River side, and they couldn't afford any more accidents to happen on the Jiangzhou side.

"What about this side..."

"Bu Qing, leave a few people here and find out the names of Cheng Gui, Xie Fu, Zhai Yuan, and Qiao Zheng."

"Okay, brother, I'll arrange it right away."

It's no problem if we can't find Zhejiang Silong, but we can't miss out on Langli Baitiao again!
