Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Er smash!"

The baby boy in the swaddling clothes strained his eyes to look at the man who had lifted him high in the air.

Who is this person? I don't know them at all.

Where's Mom? How come when I woke up, this guy was holding me up?

However, as Ren Yuan's son, the little guy who had just been named Jing Tian didn't seem to be afraid of strangers at all. He tried to widen his eyes and see the guy in front of him clearly.

"Son! I'm your father!"

Ren Yuan and the little guy stared at each other, but before they could stare for long, Zhou Tong snatched the little guy away.

"What are you yelling about? How old is the child? Can he even respond to you?"

Zhou Tong glared at Ren Yuan, then looked at Xiao Jingtian with a kind smile.

"Jingtian, do you recognize your grandmaster? You even smiled when he cleared your primordial qi, didn't you? Good boy!"

Perhaps it was because Zhou Tong had transformed his innate Qi that Xiao Jingtian actually smiled at Zhou Tong.

"Oh, my good child, hahaha, you're so close to your grandmaster! Grow up quickly, and whatever you want to learn in the future, your grandmaster will teach you!"

Zhou Tong held Ren Jingtian as if he were holding his great-grandson, wishing he could teach him all the skills he had acquired over the decades right now!

"Master, you're spoiling him too much! No, my son and I aren't familiar with each other to begin with, and this will only make us even more distant. Please let me hold him!"

Ren Yuan was jumping up and down behind him, thinking, "This is outrageous!"

"Hmph, go play somewhere else. Jing Tian is still closer to his grandmaster!"

"Senior brother, I think Xiao Jingtian is more handsome than you."

Yue Fei has grown taller since we last met, and now he looks like a little adult. However, in front of Ren Yuan, he is still the little junior brother who can joke around.

"That's right, you don't even know who gave birth to him, this is what they call the student surpassing the master!"

Ren Yuan was very pleased with himself.

"I think it's all because my sister-in-law is good-looking. As the saying goes, a nephew resembles his uncle. Brother Hua Rong is also good-looking, and Xiao Jingtian looks even more like them, which is why he's handsome."

"Junior brother, you didn't say that when you were a kid."

Upon hearing this, Ren Yuan turned around and grabbed Yue Fei's shoulders with both hands!

If I can't beat Master, can't I at least bully you, my junior brother?

But to his surprise, Yue Fei, who had never been able to dodge his grab before, actually managed to evade Ren Yuan's grab this time by nimbly crouching down!

"what?"

Ren Yuan was taken aback. Although he hadn't been paying attention just now, Yue Fei's movements were impressive.

"Hehe, senior brother, take this!"

Yue Fei chuckled and then launched a counterattack. This kid's martial arts skills have improved by leaps and bounds recently. Along with his physical growth, his abilities in all aspects are stronger than before!

It's obviously not going to work if Ren Yuan uses the same old standards to deal with him.

"Good boy!"

After Ren Yuan realized what was happening, he immediately perked up. However, he still did what he always did: he put one hand behind his back and fought Yue Fei with only one hand!

"Bang! Bang!..."

When Yue Fei sparred with his senior brothers, he always gave it his all. Although he had never made his three senior brothers go all out, he was proud to have achieved this at his age!

Hey~ hey~

The sounds of fists and feet clashing caught Ren Jingtian's attention. He tried to turn his big head in his swaddling clothes, making some indistinct noises, and then looked curiously at his father and junior uncle fighting on the other side.

"Hahaha, Jing Tian, ​​what a good boy!"

Seeing Ren Jingtian like this, Zhou Tong was also very pleased. What a good child, what a good child.

So he changed the way he was holding Jing Tian so that he could see the two people sparring more directly.

"Jingtian, let me tell you, that's your father, and that's your junior uncle. Right now, your father is using the Red Fist style, which is part of our school. If you want to learn it in the future, your master will teach you..."

A guard recorded this scene and then dictated it to a painter who created a lifelike painting. The painting later circulated among the common people, and many wealthy merchants competed to acquire it. Because the painting depicted the Grand Tutor, the Emperor Taizu, the Prince of Champion, and the young Emperor Taizong, it was extremely rare, and whoever could purchase it would enjoy unparalleled honor.

The painting circulated among the common people for fifty years before being reclaimed by the imperial court at a high price. By then, the Grand Tutor and Emperor Taizu had already passed away, and the Prince of Champion was old. When Emperor Taizong retrieved the painting, it coincided with the Prince of Champion's seventieth birthday. When the two of them saw the painting again, they were both deeply moved and filled with emotion.

Emperor Taizong, who was already past the age of fifty, leaned on his uncle's shoulder and sobbed.

"Uncle-Master, I miss my father, I miss my grandmaster..."

"Foolish child, foolish child..."

With his hair and beard already completely white, Yue Fei patted his junior apprentice on the back while looking at the painting. His tiger-like eyes, which had not shed tears for many years, were also reddened.

Master, senior brothers, Pengju misses you too!

……

"Listen up, all you men of Fangming Kingdom! I am Du Xue, the Grand Marshal of the Southern Expeditionary Army of Dayi! I'm giving you two days! Surrender within two days, and all past transgressions will be forgiven!"

Du Xue has already arrived at the gates of Hangzhou with his troops, and has begun to partially encircle the city.

As for the other half, Uncle Zhang arrived even earlier, and now they are the ones surrounding them.

Du Xue had recently received news of a great victory in the north and a great victory in the west! This put him under immense pressure as the general in charge of the southern campaign. If he didn't quickly settle things with Fang Ming, Du Xue felt that his position as the second-best general in the land might be in jeopardy.

"Commander Du! We are willing to surrender! But we will only surrender to the Dayi Army! We will not surrender to that Zhang Shuye!"

Du Xue's reputation in Huaixi was well-known to the people of Jiangnan, and Fang Tianding was a pro-surrender faction, so they had no objection to surrendering.

However, Fang Tianding was not so kind to Zhang Shuye's tribe. Who didn't know that the Song Dynasty was finished? Zhang Shuye was nothing but a stray dog! No matter how bad I, Fang Tianding, was, I was still the ruler of a country. I could easily persuade Prince Ren to surrender, but Zhang Shuye had no right to do so!

“Zhang Shuye has nothing to do with my Dayi, you don’t need to worry about him.”

Du Xue slashed the air with his spear.

"I will handle this for you, but if you dare to take advantage of this situation, don't blame me for unleashing a bloodbath!"

"As long as Commander Du guarantees that Uncle Zhang's troops won't cause trouble, we'll surrender!"

……

"Does the Fang family have a grudge against Uncle Zhang?"

As the chief strategist of the Southern Expeditionary Army, Liu Min was under considerable pressure. When Du Xue came down from the front lines and explained the situation, Liu Min frowned deeply.

"How would I know?"

Du Xue spread his hands.

"I should have known better than to let Uncle Zhang come; he wasn't much of a help."

"Boss Du, you can't say that. At least Zhang Shuye has consumed a lot of Fangming's national strength. He is our ally, so we have to give him some face."

"Face is something that is never given by others, but earned by oneself!"

Du Xue waved his hand forcefully.

"If Uncle Zhang can capture Fang Jie, I will go back and recommend him for a reward!"

"If not, then I'll take matters into my own hands!"
