Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

Chapter 140 Hua Rong Goes Up the Mountain

"drive!"

Qin Ming and his men were still galloping on horseback.

Hua Rong, in particular, was still very worried about his family.

"Don't worry, Hua Zhizhai, your brothers and the others won't be slower than us."

Qin Ming comforted Hua Rong, saying that he had calculated that the Imperial Guards would be no slower than him, and that the battle at Qingfeng Village was likely already over.

Hua Rong nodded, feeling much better.

When the group rushed to the entrance of Qingfeng Village, they found that the entrance was already crowded with people.

"Alright, Magistrate Hua, don't worry, that's the Imperial Guard Battalion."

Qin Ming was immediately relieved when he saw the people's attire.

If the Imperial Guard is here, then my brother is safe. If my brother is safe, then the entire Hua family is most likely safe as well.

"Are the brothers in the Imperial Guard all well?"

Before Qin Ming arrived, his voice preceded his arrival; with a roar that was heard throughout the entire Imperial Guard Battalion.

"Qin Ming is back, so Magistrate Hua should be back too."

Lin Chong smiled and said to Ren Yuan:

"Perfect timing, the Hua Zhizhai family has been returned to their rightful owner."

Ren Yuan smiled and gestured for Hua Yun to bring her sister-in-law and the others to come with him to welcome Hua Rong.

"Madam! Sister!"

Hua Rong leaped off his horse and galloped over.

"Brother Hua Rong, I have successfully completed my mission."

Ren Yuan cupped his hands in greeting to them, then handed the space over to their family.

"Brother Ren Yuan's great kindness will never be forgotten by Hua Rong!"

Hua Rong, of course, saw that his family members were all unharmed, including his wife and sister. He immediately wanted to bow down to Ren Yuan.

Ren Yuan grabbed him, saying he couldn't accept such a bow.

"We're all family, no need for this. Go on, comfort your family."

Ren Yuan patted Hua Rong on the shoulder, then walked towards Qin Ming without disturbing their family reunion.

"Brother, Qin Ming has fulfilled his mission and rescued Magistrate Hua. Because Magistrate Hua was worried about his family, we rushed over first. Huang Xin, with the remaining troops and Magistrate Hua's soldiers from Qingfeng Village, are behind us. They probably won't be able to arrive for a while, so we'll have to wait a bit longer."

Qin Ming dismounted and reported to Ren Yuan.

"Brother, you've worked hard. How are the casualties?"

Ren Yuan patted Qin Ming on the shoulder in affirmation.

"Fortunately, no one was killed in action. There were a few brothers who were seriously injured, but they only broke their legs after falling off their horses. There were more than thirty people with minor injuries, but they are all fine and are with Huang Xin."

Qin Ming said with a smile that he was especially happy that he hadn't been killed in action this time.

Of course, this was also mainly due to the poor fighting strength of the Three Mountains troops. Faced with Qin Ming's cavalry charge, the Three Mountains troops did not resist, so they had no trouble at all.

"Such an easy battle is probably not going to happen again."

Ren Yuan also sighed, thinking that he had expected a tough struggle, but it went so smoothly.

Qin Ming didn't die in battle, and neither did he, and he didn't even have any seriously injured soldiers.

"This is a good thing, it shows that our training has been effective."

Lin Chong was in a good mood. This time, the Imperial Guards not only had no casualties, but also no serious injuries, only minor injuries.

“Senior brother, we feed and drink well for the soldiers every day, and with the training of you experts, if we still can’t deal with the bandits of the Three Mountains, then we’ll really be a disgrace.”

Ren Yuan shrugged. After all, the food in the Liangshan army was really good, and their training was really serious. Every young man in each combat battalion could eat and train until his muscles were rock hard after a few months, making him particularly strong and powerful.

"But we cannot underestimate the enemy. In the future, we will face the Song Dynasty's Imperial Guard, or even the border troops with super combat power. At that time, bloodshed and sacrifice will be inevitable."

When the future was mentioned, Qin Ming and Lin Chong both became serious. Indeed, although Liangshan was doing well now, it was only because they hadn't encountered any tough battles yet!

"Brother! Please accept my bow!"

While the three were still reflecting on their own experiences and sharing their views on the future of the war, Hua Rong, who had finished his conversation with his family, arrived at the scene and immediately bowed to Ren Yuan.

This bow caught people off guard, so Ren Yuan couldn't dodge it.

"Hey, what are you doing? Get up."

Ren Yuan quickly helped him up.

“Brother Hua Rong, I just heard from Hua Yun that after you left, Liu Gao immediately launched a mutiny, joined forces with the bandits of Qingfeng Mountain, and broke through the stronghold. If Hua Yun hadn’t personally fought the enemy and guarded the inner stronghold, it would have been too late by the time we arrived.”

"That bastard Liu Gao!"

Hua Rong was also very angry. It was just a difference between the chief and deputy magistrates. Besides, he hadn't said anything when he went from being the chief magistrate to the deputy magistrate. Liu Gao was the chief magistrate from the start, and he was still not satisfied.

Where is this guy?

Hua Rong wanted to ask him directly to clarify the matter.

“He’s dead,” Hua Yun said. “He got into a fight with the bandits from Qingfeng Mountain and was killed.”

Ren Yuan shrugged. He deserved to die.

“We just took a look. Among the corpses, there are two people. The one who was beheaded by Miss Hua should be the second leader of Qingfeng Mountain, Dwarf Tiger Wang Ying. The one who was cleaved in two by you, Junior Brother, should be the third leader of Qingfeng Mountain, White-Faced Gentleman Zheng Tianshou.”

Lin Chong thought for a moment and then said.

"Kongming of White Tiger Mountain was shot to death by an arrow from his own body, and Kong Liang's head was blown off by Commander Qin and trampled into the mud by a horse."

Hua Rong added.

"Alright, then White Tiger Mountain is gone. Qingfeng Mountain is left with only Yan Shun. Only Peach Blossom Mountain is safe, but it's not surprising that Peach Blossom Mountain's leader, Li Zhong, is a cautious person."

"Brother, shall we level these three mountains?"

Qin Ming asked.

"Brother Hua Rong, what do you think?"

Ren Yuan didn't really care. Today, White Tiger Mountain was gone, Qingfeng Mountain was ruined, and of the so-called Three Mountains, only Peach Blossom Mountain remained, living in seclusion.

Let's see what Hua Rong thinks.

"Forget it, the stronghold has already mobilized so many brothers today for my sake, and they've had a long and tiring journey. Li Zhong from Peach Blossom Mountain, let's just forget about it."

Hua Rong thought for a moment. He had the biggest grudge against White Tiger Mountain, but White Tiger Mountain was gone. Qingfeng Mountain had lost two leaders and most of its henchmen in Qingfeng Village, so it was practically gone too. Peach Blossom Mountain didn't have any direct conflict with him, so he decided to let it go.

He had not accomplished anything for Liangshan, so the fact that they came to his rescue was already an immense favor.

“Brother, I was also harmed by villains today. If it weren’t for your rescue, not only would my life be in danger, but my family would also be slaughtered. I have no way to repay your great kindness. If you will not abandon me, I am willing to be a soldier by your side from now on!”

Hua Rong bowed to Ren Yuan, but Ren Yuan quickly stopped him, insisting that he not bow any further.

"That's wonderful! We couldn't be happier if Brother Hua Rong were willing to bring his whole family up the mountain. From now on, we'll be brothers in the same mountain stronghold!"

Ren Yuan was overjoyed; he had finally gotten Hua Rong to agree to come up the mountain. With Hua Rong's arrival, the cavalry archery battalion could begin to be formed!

"Congratulations, brother! Congratulations, Hua Rong!"

Lin Chong and Qin Ming exchanged a glance, smiled knowingly, and then congratulated the two of them.

There's already Pang Wanchun on the mountain. If we add Hua Rong, then anyone from the Song Dynasty's outlaws who dares to cause trouble at Liangshan will be shot dead!

At this moment, in a secluded house in a remote corner of White Tiger Mountain, a short, dark-skinned man, bound like a dumpling, suddenly felt a pang of pain in his heart, as if he had lost something important.

Well, let's ignore him for now. Anyway, White Tiger Mountain is gone, so he's not important...
