Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Master, I advise you to keep quiet. Men, take my master away and treat him well. Don't let him leave the house until I return with my revenge!"

Kong Liang ordered his soldiers to enter the mourning hall, preparing to forcibly detain Song Jiang!

"Kong Liang! Do you know what you're doing?"

Song Jiang was furious:

"Are you going to lock me up? How dare you? This is treason! You're a disloyal disciple! A traitor!"

As Song Jiang spoke, he began to walk out of the mourning hall:

"I'll go back and write a letter to sever our master-disciple relationship right now!"

"Master Song, stop!"

But Song Jiang was unable to leave the mourning hall. The guards who were protecting the mourning hall were all Kong Liang's confidants, and they only listened to Kong Liang!

"You bastards! I am your chieftain's master! How dare you stop me! This is insubordination! You bunch of lowly slaves!"

Song Jiang was furious; he felt that his dignity was being trampled on!

The men of White Tiger Mountain should all follow Song Jiang's lead!

Why can't I give orders now?

In a fit of rage, he even prepared to rush up and seize the guards' weapons!

"boom!!"

At that moment, he suddenly felt someone hit him hard on the back of the head, and he immediately felt dizzy and saw stars!

He turned around with difficulty and found Kong Liang holding a brick meant for supporting a coffin corner, looking at him with an unfriendly expression.

"Traitor, you, you actually, you actually ambushed me..."

Song Jiang stretched out his finger, pointing tremblingly at Kong Liang, trying his best to say a few more words of abuse.

But after being hit on the head, he did have difficulty speaking.

"boom!"

Kong Liang stepped forward again and smacked Song Jiang on the forehead once more!

At this, Song Jiang rolled his eyes and then his body went limp on the ground like a broken sack that had lost its support!

“They are my guards and my trusted confidants! They are not lowly slaves!”

Looking at the unconscious Song Jiang, Kong Liang couldn't help but spit.

"He won't listen to reason, so he'll have to suffer the consequences! Men, tie him up and gag him! Wrap his head up, throw him inside, keep him fed and watered, don't let him die, but don't let him leave the house!"

"Everyone else, get your weapons ready! Follow me to raze Qingfeng Village! Avenge our chieftain!"

Kong Liang no longer has as much awe for Song Jiang.

They didn't kill him, which was already out of respect for him being their master.

"Chief, Chief Liu's idea is that the three mountains should unite to attack Qingfeng Village. So should we inform the people of Peach Blossom Mountain and Qingfeng Mountain?"

"We can send out notices, but don't have too high expectations of them, especially those two from Peach Blossom Mountain, they're just overly cautious good-for-nothings! Those three from Qingfeng Mountain are all man-eating bastards, they won't do anything without a profit, we'd be better off relying on ourselves than on them."

Kong Liang isn't actually stupid; in fact, his descent into darkness has intensified threefold. Now that he's broken ties with Song Jiang and even personally hit his master with a brick, Kong Liang feels incredibly powerful!

I will slay gods and Buddhas alike!

Some time later, Song Jiang, with his head simply bandaged, slowly woke up.

The first thing I wanted to do when I woke up was to keep cursing!

But the pain in the front and back of his head and the foreign object in his mouth quickly made him give up the idea!

With his hands and feet bound, his mouth stuffed with thick cloth, and a constant pain in the back of his head, it was difficult for him to concentrate on cursing!

Looking around again, it was clear that this was a small house in a mountain stronghold.

"Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!"

Song Jiang could only keep making meaningless noises in the hope of attracting attention.

"Hey, you inside! Stop howling! Shut up!"

The people outside, seemingly disturbed by Song Jiang's voice, shouted menacingly:

"The chieftain said he'll let you out when he returns! But if you disturb our rest again, we won't mind giving you another beating!"

"Uh-huh..."

Song Jiang immediately dared not make a sound. He lay on his side on the bed, and when he thought of the scene of being knocked unconscious by his disciple with a brick, tears streamed down his face.

Why is my life so miserable, Song Jiang?

My White Tiger Mountain! My Hua Rong! My apprentice! My official career!

It's gone! It's all gone!!

Hey, that’s not right!

I still have Lei Heng!

Lei Heng! Lei Heng, can you feel your brother calling you? Come quickly and save your brother!

But Song Jiang may have forgotten that Lei Heng was currently imprisoned in Yuncheng County.

He may have truly forgotten that at that time, he was outside the Yuncheng government office, mourning the deaths of Zhu Tong and Lei Heng.

The surrounding people, upon hearing this, were all saddened and wept.

"What two excellent captains, gone in one battle."

"Look at the clerk, what a fine man he is! He cries so movingly for his brother's funeral! The clerk is a true hero!"

"That's right! With Chief Constable Zhu and Chief Lei having such a good brother as Clerk Song, they can die in peace!"

While crying, Song Jiang listened to the comments around him, and he could adjust the volume of his crying and the amount of tears according to the surrounding situation.

The effect was truly remarkable.

At least Lei Heng's mother was present at the time and was moved by Song Jiang.

She even thought it was wonderful that her silly son had such a good brother.

Until Lei Heng, that big fool, strode straight into his own mourning hall, hugged his elderly mother, and burst into tears.

People were stunned!

Didn't Song Yashi say that the two captains were gone, that they were beaten to a pulp by the Liangshan bandits?

How come Captain Lei looks completely unharmed?

If Chief Lei is completely unharmed, what about Chief Zhu?

Although Chief Zhu hasn't appeared yet, he might be here soon.

Lei Heng first hugged his mother and cried bitterly, and then he noticed Song Jiang crying for him next to him.

This...this is even more awkward!

Of course, Lei Heng was subsequently arrested because someone had to take responsibility for this major defeat.

Originally, the magistrate intended to downplay the matter since the two men were dead, but Lei Heng, that idiot, openly appeared in the public eye, so he had no choice but to arrest him!

"Brother! It's a promise! You have to remember to take care of my old mother!"

This was Lei Heng's last message to Song Jiang before he was dragged away and locked up.

But this time, the way everyone looked at Song Jiang was different.

If Chief Lei is alright, why was the clerk so certain that he was dead?

Was Zhu Dutou also hiding somewhere? Were the other ordinary soldiers also not wiped out?

Why was only Song Yasi the one who returned in the end?

Under that immense pressure, Song Jiang had no choice but to resort to his ultimate move—crying himself unconscious!

He then secluded himself and refused visitors for quite some time before people gradually stopped talking about it.

But Lei Heng was indeed imprisoned, and he was executed in the autumn.

So Song Jiang now wants Lei Heng to come to White Tiger Mountain to rescue him? That's nothing short of wishful thinking!

Alas, poor Kuro Saburo, who told you to bring this on yourself!

……

At this time, the main force of the White Tiger Army had already set off. They were all dressed in white clothes and armor, numbering about 400 people, and were rushing to the assembly point at the Three Mountains.

"Chief, the agreed meeting point is another sixty li away, but we haven't seen any flags from Qingfeng Mountain or Peach Blossom Mountain yet. There's also no movement from Qingfeng Village."

The scouts reported back to Kong Liang.

"Hmph, a bunch of people, they're so badly taken, we can't even catch the shit while it's still warm. Never mind them, let's go first!"

Kong Liang's eyes burned with fury; now, all he wanted was to attack Qingfeng Village and personally kill Hua Rong!

Anyone who tries to stop him should die!
