Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

Daming Mansion.

Liang Zhongshu was personally directing his men to pack things.

Beside him, Yang Zhi held a long knife and followed closely.

"Yang Zhi, whether my birthday tribute succeeds or not depends entirely on you!"

Liang Zhongshu had high hopes for Yang Zhi.

This guy is indeed the most skilled martial artist I've ever seen in all my years in Daming Prefecture.

Even Li Cheng or Wen Da might not be able to defeat him.

Moreover, Li Cheng and Wen Da, those two old foxes, have been with me for so many years and have never gone all out, especially regarding the birthday tribute. Neither of them ever intended to send me the birthday tribute!

Every time you say you're busy with official duties, do you think I don't know whether you two are busy or not while you're working under me?

I just don't want to go!

This time it's great! The descendants of the Yang family of Tianbo Mansion are personally escorting it. Let's see who dares to snatch it!

"Yang Zhi, thank you for your trouble in making this trip, but don't worry, as long as you successfully deliver the goods this time, I will definitely not treat you unfairly! Whatever you want, I will give you!"

"You've been in the regular army position for too long. Here's what we'll do: when you come back, I'll submit a memorial to the court saying that Daming Prefecture needs to expand its army, and I'll guarantee you a position as a military supervisor! How about that?"

Liang Zhongshu knew that Yang Zhi dreamed of restoring the glory of the Yang family, so he immediately offered him an official position.

But actually, Liang Zhongshu also had his own little scheme.

It's definitely impossible for him to be a military supervisor. We'll find some excuse to make him a captain or a battalion commander.

"Dutou" is not bad either. Dujian and Dutou are only one word different!

Besides, Suo Chao has been in Daming Prefecture for so many years, isn't he a legitimate soldier? Let's fool this big fool for now.

"Thank you so much, Your Excellency!"

Yang Zhi was indeed fooled, and was so grateful to Liang Zhongshu that he didn't notice at all that the old man Xie behind him was giving him a cold laugh.

How could Lao Xie not know what his master was thinking? In his eyes, Yang Zhi was just a dog his master kept, nothing more.

As for him, he's different; he's a wet nurse!

Old Xie, his wife, was once the wet nurse of Cai Jing's daughter. They had a very good relationship. After Cai Jing's daughter married Liang Zhongshu, Old Xie and his wife, as her family, followed her to Daming Prefecture.

Miss Cai trusted her wet nurse implicitly, and by extension, she also respected her wet nurse husband greatly. That's why he was able to obtain a position as a steward in the household.

But Lao Xie got arrogant. Relying on this relationship, he could get whatever he wanted from the servants. Sometimes, even Liang Zhongshu had to give him face.

There was nothing they could do; after all, Liang Zhongshu was Cai Jing's son-in-law.

Without Cai Jing's daughter, there would be no Liang Zhongshu.

Similarly, without the husband who acted as a wet nurse, there would be no Lao Xie who acted as the head of the household.

To put it bluntly, both of them got to their positions because of their wives!

This time, when escorting the birthday gifts, Liang Zhongshu privately told Lao Xie to keep an eye on Yang Zhi and not let him do anything messy.

Old Xie naturally took this as an order. He had disliked Yang Zhi, a martial artist, for a long time, and seeing Yang Zhi's current state only made him more uncomfortable. He decided that he would definitely teach Yang Zhi a lesson on the road and show him who was in charge!

Well, Lao Xie never considered himself a servant. He was a servant in Cai Jing's mansion, but in Liang Zhongshu's Daming mansion, Lao Xie considered himself half a master.

You, Xiao Liang, are nothing more than a man who rose to power because of my young lady.

As for me, Lao Xie, I took care of Miss Xie when she was little!

Our Xie family has an even closer relationship with Miss Xie!

Liang Zhongshu couldn't do anything about this old man who relied on his age to act superior. He really couldn't live without his wife, and this old man was his wife's man, so he couldn't do anything to him.

So this time, he sent out this old guy as well.

I can't afford to mess with you, you're the boss, but I can at least avoid you, right?

Liang Zhongshu's move was brilliant!

"Your Excellency, we will set off tomorrow. We must not make a big fuss and will take a secret route. As long as we follow the route I have designed, this birthday tribute will definitely be delivered safely."

Yang Zhi was indeed a hard-working person. He did a lot of work to ensure the success of this birthday tribute mission. In his view, this opportunity was a good chance for him to return to the ranks of high-ranking military officers in the Song Dynasty.

As for Liang Zhongshu going back on his word?

Yang Zhi hadn't considered this situation because he felt that since arriving in Daming Prefecture, he had been obedient to Liang Zhongshu and extremely loyal, and should already be Liang Zhongshu's confidant.

Liang Zhongshu would never deceive his trusted confidant! Right?

Well, that's why Yang Zhi isn't suited for officialdom; he can't tell at all whether his superiors want to associate with him!

"Alright, alright, Yang Zhi, this time we're counting on you. By the way, this is Steward Xie. As the saying goes, 'An elder in the family is a treasure.' I feel more at ease knowing that Steward Xie is going with you this time."

Yang Zhi looked at Lao Xie and couldn't help but frown.

"Prime Minister, so for the rest of the journey, should we listen to me or him?"

Look at you, look at you, with such low emotional intelligence, what are you doing in the officialdom?

Even if you have grievances, you can't say them to my face!

Liang Zhongshu also looked helpless. Although he was quite happy to see Lao Xie's bad expression, he couldn't show it on the surface.

"Yang Zhi, whether Steward Xie is assisting you or you are in charge, you should consult Steward Xie if you encounter any problems."

Liang Zhongshu said it very cryptically.

But Yang Zhi still didn't seem to understand.

"I know, Your Excellency. I will discuss it with Steward Xie, but the final decision rests with me, right?"

"of course."

Seeing Yang Zhi's stubbornness, Liang Zhongshu was helpless. He could only quickly end the topic, otherwise Lao Xie would really lose control of his expression.

"Old Xie, you are an elder, highly respected. This time, please help out the younger generation, okay?"

“I will obey my master’s orders.”

After hearing Liang Zhongshu's words, Lao Xie's expression softened considerably. He looked at Yang Zhi and snorted disdainfully.

"The problem is that some people are stubborn and self-willed, refuse to listen to advice, and not only do they court death, they also drag everyone else down with them."

Yang Zhi's expression changed, and he immediately said:

“My Yang family has been a military family for generations. How could we possibly make a mistake? Just listen to me.”

"Oh ho? Someone's just a guerrilla fighter, yet he dares to claim his ancestors were military families for generations. Doesn't he feel ashamed of his ancestors?"

Old Xie couldn't bear it any longer and started to speak sarcastically.

"Alright! Stop arguing! We haven't even set off yet, and you're already arguing!"

Liang Zhongshu put on a stern face and said, feigning anger.

"You two, one is my trusted and beloved general, and the other is my elder. This time, you must work together!"

"Yang Zhi, you must consult with Steward Xie before doing anything. You can't just act on your own."

"Old Xie, Yang Zhi is the commander of this operation. You need to cooperate with him and not cause him any trouble."

"I'm in Daming Prefecture, waiting for your good news of success, do you hear me?"

Yang Zhi and Lao Xie glared at each other, then reluctantly said at the same time:

"Yes!"

If Ren Yuan were here and saw this scene, he would definitely say:

Yang Zhi Logistics, with its global reach, will this birthday tribute shipment go smoothly?
