Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

Bianjing, the number one city in the world today.

Even though it was occupied by Cai Jing's Lai Kingdom for a time, it did not affect its prosperity in the slightest.

These past few days, Bianjing has become lively again, as the high-ranking officers of the Dayi Army, who were originally stationed on Liangshan Mountain, have begun to enter the city. The previously sealed imperial palace has been reopened and is being cleaned, all in preparation for Ren Yuan's arrival.

However, Ren Yuan has no intention of declaring himself emperor at present. In his words, the Jurchens may have fled far away, but he must at least pacify Western Xia and Dali before formally declaring himself emperor.

For now, I'll be king.

The strategists had no objection to this, mainly because there were a lot of things to do right now, and there really wasn't much time to go through with the coronation. They figured it wouldn't be too late to stabilize the country for a year or two, expand the territory a bit, and then go on to ascend the throne.

"Brother, do you remember the first time we came to Bianjing?"

Shi Qian rode his horse, slightly behind Ren Yuan by half a body length. Bianjing was not far away, and the outline of the city wall could already be seen.

"How could I not remember? We came to rescue my sister-in-law. By the way, senior brother, wouldn't you say this is a return to your hometown?"

Ren Yuan smiled and responded to Shi Qian, while glancing at Lin Chong on the other side.

"It's like a dream."

Looking at the familiar city of Bianjing, Lin Chong shook his head with deep emotion.

He was once driven out of this place in disgrace, and almost lost his family. But now, he has not only killed his enemies, but also returned with his family and unparalleled glory.

This looks like a dream!

Lin Chong even wondered if he was still in a dream and hadn't come out of it yet.

"Snapped!"

Ren Yuan slapped Lin Chong on the shoulder, waking him up.

"Senior brother, can you feel it?"

"Have."

Lin Chong was a little confused. "Junior brother, why are you taking pictures of me?"

"If it exists, it's not a dream!"

Ren Yuan said with a loud laugh.

"Senior brother, all the bad things are over! Now we are about to welcome the good things!"

"Yes, they're all good!"

Ren Yuan's words also excited Lin Chong. Yes, things are already so good now, there's only more hope for the future!

"Brother, you really stole the show when you came to Bianjing that time! Your second sister-in-law was still your sister back then!"

Shi Qian was getting cocky again, but he had the privilege of being so presumptuous in front of Ren Yuan, so Ren Yuan wouldn't say anything to him.

What exactly happened back then?

Lin Chong was also quite curious about what exactly happened back then, because in the end, he left the capital by painted boat.

"Brother Instructor, back then, you kept it a secret so well. You insisted that you had no connections in the capital. But it turned out that your second sister-in-law owned the largest pleasure boat in Tokyo, and you pretended not to know."

As soon as Shi Qian got the chance, he started cricket hunting in Renyuan.

"I really didn't know back then, did I?"

Ren Yuan said, "Can you please stop exaggerating?"

"I don't believe it. Back then, your second sister-in-law's maid was able to find you so easily. And you still say you didn't know her before?"

Shi Qian's smile was particularly cunning.

"If I knew you, I wouldn't have stood on the bridge like an idiot back then. And if you say that again, I'll tell everyone about your ventriloquism skills from back then?"

Ren Yuan said, "Come on, Shi Qian, let's hurt each other!"

"Go ahead and say it, I'll say it too!"

Shi Qian was really going all out; he wasn't afraid of anyone!

"You bastard, Shi Qian! I'll beat you up and that'll be the end of it!"

Ren Yuan turned around, grabbed Shi Qian, preventing him from using his lightness skill, and then the two of them started playfully fighting on horseback.

"Shishi, tell me about what happened back then?"

Inside the carriage, Hua Yun held Ren Jingtian, who was fast asleep in his swaddling clothes, showing no desire to wake up and appearing exceptionally well-behaved.

Hearing Ren Yuan and Shi Qian start talking about their trip to Bianjing back then, Hua Yun suddenly became interested and wanted to know some details.

"Is your sister interested in what happened back then?"

Li Shishi covered her mouth, reached out and gently poked Ren Jingtian's chubby little face, and then, without any concealment, began to tell Hua Yun about what happened back then.

When Hua Yun heard about Ren Yuan and Shi Qian's comical behavior back then, she couldn't help but chuckle. Ren Jingtian, who was in her arms, frowned slightly, but didn't wake up. He moved his little mouth a couple of times and then continued to sleep.

"He can eat and sleep well, and he doesn't wake up at all. Little Jingtian will definitely grow up to be strong."

Li Shishi said with a smile.

"You should hurry up and have one too, so that Jingtian will have a companion in the future."

Hua Yun expressed her hope that Li Shishi would also have a child.

“Sister, I have no problem, but now that the world has just been settled, shouldn’t we let our husband take another woman?”

Li Shishi changed the subject.

"You mean, Third Sister?"

Hua Yun immediately realized that there was indeed another Hu Sanniang.

"Yes, can't you see Third Sister's feelings for her husband?"

"I realized it a long time ago, but my husband never said anything, and neither did Third Sister, so there really wasn't a chance."

Hua Yun nodded. Of course she knew that Hu Sanniang had liked Ren Yuan for a long time, but there had never been a suitable opportunity before. Now that they were temporarily settling in Bianjing, Hu Sanniang could finally fulfill her dream.

"Hahaha, brother, buddy, Brother Shi Qian, you're making such a ruckus here, why don't you call me?"

While Ren Yuan and his group were still fooling around, they suddenly saw a big monk riding over on horseback; it was none other than Lu Zhishen.

"Master, are you going to Xiangguo Temple later?"

Ren Yuan asked with a smile.

"Go ahead, I want to see if the vegetable garden from back then is still there, and if the meditation room I used to live in is still the same as it was back then."

Lu Zhishen also had some affection for Bianjing.

"Then let Zhang San, the street rat, and Li Si, the grass snake, accompany the master."

Ren Yuan asked Shi Qian.

"How are they doing now?"

"Don't worry, brother, they're in the Sky Curtain right now, that's where it is!"

Shi Qian gave Ren Yuan a thumbs up.

"Although I'm only a captain for now, with some more practice, I should be able to become a commander next time."

"That's really good."

Ren Yuan said that if Bianjing was a dream, then at least it was a beautiful dream, and everyone around him at this moment was a beneficiary of the beautiful dream.

"It's a bit of a pity that some of our brothers can't come back now and we can't drink and have fun together in Bianjing."

"Don't worry, junior brother, the brothers will definitely return safely. The road ahead for Dayi is still long."

Lin Chong said with a smile, which drew enthusiastic agreement from the crowd.

"Oh, right, brother."

At that moment, Shi Qian suddenly thought of something.

"There are still quite a few people from the Zhao Song and Cai Lai era in Bianjing City, but we've been keeping a close watch on them. How about I go get a list later, brother, and see if there are any useful people among them? If so, we can try to recruit them."

"Oh? Then can I take a look?"

Although Ren Yuan didn't know how many useful names he could still remember, what if he managed to pick up one or two? That would be a win for the nascent empire...
