Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Your Majesty! Assassins! Assassins!"

Wanyan Yinshu saw the guards brandishing their weapons at him, and his mind became clearer.

"Of course there were assassins! The noise we just heard was made by them."

Wanyan Aguda stepped out from among the guards and looked at Wanyan Yinshuke.

"Yin Shuke, your arm..."

"Your Majesty, the assassin was highly skilled in martial arts. He severed my arm."

Wanyan Yinshu knelt down and said to Wanyan Aguda.

"Get up first, come inside with me! Where's the doctor? Where's the doctor?!"

Wanyan Aguda shouted loudly for the doctor.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, just now the General..."

The doctor in the tent then cautiously emerged, after all, Wanyan Yinshu had been acting so mad earlier that no one dared to approach him; those who did were killed.

"It's alright, he's fine now. Yin Shuke, are you awake?"

Wanyan Aguda patted Wanyan Yinshuke on the shoulder, signaling him to get up.

"Your Majesty, I am awake."

Wanyan Yinshu bit her tongue, trying to clear her mind while suppressing the pain in her arm.

"Come on, come inside with me."

Wanyan Aguda turned to all the guards and said:

"Keep an eye on the surroundings, call over the personal guards, and have Lou Shi lead a search party for the assassin!"

"Yes!"

The physicians welcomed Wanyan Aguda and Wanyan Yinshuke into the main tent. After exchanging glances, the guards stood in front of the tent and began to assign guard duties.

"Hey you three, go to the back. Don't let the assassin in!"

Because Li Zhu's face was dirty, no one recognized him. After all, everyone had some dirt and grime on their faces from avoiding the explosion, and since they were all wearing the same clothes, everyone assumed that Li Zhu was also one of the guards.

Li Zhu was very happy to be given this task that was suddenly presented to him. He nodded and went to the back of the tent with two other people to take on the guard duty.

"Hey bro, which department are you from? I've never seen you before."

Li Zhu and his two companions arrived behind the tent to perform their guard duties when suddenly someone asked Li Zhu a question.

"I'm new here."

Li Zhu lowered his voice, glanced around, and responded casually.

"Then why does your voice sound so unfamiliar?"

Another guard said that he had never heard this voice before.

"I...I hurt my throat..."

Well, because of the commotion earlier, the attention of other people nearby wasn't on them. Everyone was a bit chaotic, each doing their own thing, so not many people were paying attention to Li Zhu and his two companions.

"So what's your name?"

The two guards exchanged glances, feeling something was off. Why...why did this colleague seem so unfamiliar?

Their hands were also placed on the weapons at their waists.

"Me? My name is Yama, the King of Hell."

Li Zhu turned his head and smiled gently at them. The next instant, a golden light flashed in their eyes!

"Well……"

Both guards simultaneously reached up and covered their throats, blood seeping from between their fingers.

"You two, stand still."

Li Zhu grabbed one of the two men and leaned them against the tent, then wrapped their throats with strips of cloth.

As for himself, seeing that no one was paying attention, he swiftly slashed two lines on the tent with his sword, cutting it open! Then, he slipped into the tent!

"Yin Shuke, lie down."

Inside the tent, Yin Shuke was being helped onto a hospital bed by the doctor. His severed arm was a serious problem; if things didn't go well, he might even die here.

As for Wanyan Aguda, although his arm was injured and bleeding, it was not a big problem and could be easily stopped with a simple bandage.

After slipping into the tent, Li Zhu hid behind the screen, waiting for his chance to strike.

"Your Majesty, I...I am incompetent..."

"Lie down first, and tell me slowly, who cut off your arm?"

Wanyan Aguda frowned. How could Yi Kingdom have someone who could so easily sever Yin Shuke's arm?

"I didn't see clearly, but this person's martial arts skills are extremely high. I am no match for him. Moreover, he killed all my guards."

"All your guards? No, the soldiers all say that it was one of your guards who risked his life to bring you back."

"What? Impossible!"

Yin Shuke struggled to his feet and said to Wanyan Aguda:

"Your Majesty, it's absolutely impossible!"

"He killed all my guards. If someone escorts me back, he must be that assassin!"

"what?!"

Wanyan Aguda felt a chill run down his spine. If that was the case, the assassin should be nearby!

"Your Majesty, quickly! Send more men! Find that person!"

"Come……"

"Shh-"

Just as Wanyan Aguda was about to call for help, suddenly a burst of sword light appeared inside the tent!

Everyone only saw a flash of golden light. The doctors present instantly clutched their throats, unable to utter a word. Wanyan Yinshu was about to say something when he received a heavy chop to the throat! This left him speechless for the time being.

"you……"

Wanyan Aguda stared at the golden sword that was less than a foot away from his throat, then looked at Li Zhu and tried to speak.

"If you dare to shout, I'll stab you through the throat with this sword."

Li Zhu stared at Wanyan Aguda with a cold smile.

"You...were my guard just now?"

Wanyan Aguda looked at Li Zhu's guard attire and immediately understood what was going on.

"You're very lucky. Two palm-sized grenades didn't kill you. It seems that as the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, you do have some tricks up your sleeve."

"What do you mean?"

Wanyan Aguda was somewhat puzzled.

“According to our Taoist tradition, you are still protected by the nation’s fortune, so I’m not sure I can kill you.”

Assistant Li shook his head gently.

"But I'd love to test it. Now that my sword is so close to your throat, can the fate of your Jin Kingdom still protect you?"

"Kill me, and you'll walk out of here?"

Wanyan Aguda showed no fear whatsoever, and instead stared at Li Zhu and said.

"My Great Jin Dynasty has hundreds of thousands of troops; one of them could drown you with a single spit!"

“Wanyan Aguda, I am just a Taoist priest. If I can exchange my life for yours, the emperor’s life, then I’d be the one who gains.”

Facing Wanyan Aguda's threat, Li Zhu showed no fear, and the golden sword in his hand moved even closer to his throat.

"Then come on, kill me. But remember, the backbone of Great Jin is not just me. You may kill one of me, but Great Jin has thousands upon thousands of me!"

"I've met a few emperors in my life, but Wanyan Aguda, I must say, you are the most tough one."

Li Zhu admired Wanyan Aguda's aura; no wonder he was able to lead the Jin Dynasty to overthrow the Liao Dynasty!

However, Li Zhu was not a soft-hearted person. Wanyan Aguda was an enemy, and if he was an enemy, then there was no room for negotiation!

"Wanyan Aguda, I, Li Zhu, hereby invite you to your death!"
