Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

Ren Yuan was unaware of what was happening at Qingfeng Mountain.

At this moment, he was leading a large group of men back to Liangshan.

In the end, more than two hundred people were released from the Shamen Hell; the rest were either beyond redemption or had committed heinous crimes.

Therefore, the Liangshan forces did not hold back. After ending the suffering of those who had been tortured beyond recognition, Ren Yuan ordered that the Shamen Prison be burned down.

Of course, they controlled the fire and prevented it from spreading to the dozens of households on the island.

After all, setting fire to an island is a serious crime.

Thanks to the efforts of Ren Yuan, Bian Xiang, and Shen Qing, the doctor Hua Wei and the brute Tie Ta from Shamen Island eventually chose to join the Liangshan team.

Needless to say, Huawei survived for nearly thirty years in Shamen Prison. As the chief physician of Shamen Prison, his medical skills far surpassed those of other doctors in the prison. Perhaps only An Daoquan from Liangshan's main camp could rival him.

In the end, Ren Yuan had to bring up An Daoquan and use the pretext of medical exchange to get Huawei to agree to participate.

As for the brute Iron Tower, he was persuaded by Bian Xiang to come out.

Iron Tower's weakness was that if he died, the Wei Wuzu would be gone, so Bian Xiang hoped he would come out.

Once outside, I realized that this guy, Iron Tower, really was like an iron tower. When he stood up straight, he was over ten feet tall! And his muscles were bulging, like the legendary twelve-foot-tall Vajra body!

"Wow, that's so tall?"

Ren Yuan usually looks down at others, but today, it's his turn to look up at others!

"Great Chieftain! From now on, Iron Pagoda belongs to Liangshan and is willing to serve you wholeheartedly."

The iron tower knelt on one knee, pledging allegiance to Ren Yuan.

"Brother, please rise! We don't do this kneeling and kneeling thing in Liangshan."

Ren Yuan quickly helped Tie Da up. With that build, if he were to wear a layer of iron armor, he would be a deadly weapon in foot combat!

"Chief, I have no other skills, but I'm tough and fearless in battle!"

Iron Tower's external martial arts skills were passed down from the Armored Gate of the Wei Kingdom. Legend has it that after mastering them, one would have immense strength and skin as hard as iron all over their body!

Although Iron Tower hadn't reached that level of skill, he still possessed superhuman strength, and ordinary swords and knives couldn't harm him at all! This was the secret to why he could stay in the Shamen Prison for so long, because ordinary torture instruments were simply ineffective against him!

Ren Yuan and the others tried it; an ordinary broadsword would only leave a white mark on Tie Ta's body, and Tie Ta himself would not feel any pain.

"Brother, your skills are really impressive."

Ren Yuan also felt admiration.

However, the Iron Tower's strength also has obvious drawbacks.

Firstly, he only knows physical skills and doesn't know any other techniques. His attacks lack any strategy and rely entirely on brute force.

Secondly, the effectiveness of Iron Tower's physical strength decreases significantly when he is moving. He can only fully utilize his physical strength when he is stationary or moving slowly.

So, this guy is a meat shield, a pure shield.

However, Ren Yuan had already thought of someone who could cooperate with the Iron Tower in the future.

Those are Xiang Chong and Li Gun!

Both of them are skilled with shields, one is adept at throwing knives, and the other at javelins. If you combine that with Iron Tower's physical prowess, and give Iron Tower a large shield, and have Iron Tower at the forefront while the other two throw knives and javelins from behind!

Well, that's a formidable trio of heavily armored tanks! Who can stop them?!

Besides these two people, Shamen Island Prison also gave Ren Yuan an unexpected surprise.

That is to say, there are actually descendants of the Mohist and Gongshu families in this prison!

The Mo family's Mo Shifang, the Gongshu family's Gongshu Liniang.

And these two are husband and wife!

"Weren't your ancestors enemies?"

When Ren Yuan learned about the relationship between the two, he was completely dumbfounded. What happened to the Mohist school and the Gongshu school being enemies? How could they get married?

"Chief, so the two of us are in this prison."

Mo Shifang was an honest and simple man. After hearing Ren Yuan's words, he gave a wry smile.

His marriage to his wife was unacceptable to his family, so they secretly pledged their lives to each other in an attempt to break the family rules, and were then sent to the Shamen Prison together.

"It's okay, as long as I'm with you, anywhere is fine."

Gongshu Liniang was a pretty girl. She held Mo Shifang's hand and said very happily.

Ren Yuan felt like he had suddenly been fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).

"Both of you come from families with long-standing traditions, and you know a lot about mechanical arts and such..."

"Don't worry, Chieftain, this Shamen Prison was built by my wife and me together."

"The Mohist mechanism is so ingenious that wood and stone can move freely, and bronze can open its mouth; one must ask Gongshu. When the mechanical arts of the two schools are combined, it becomes something like the Shamen Prison."

Gongsun Liniang was actually very proud that the two of them could become husband and wife. She was confident that if she and her husband joined forces, there was no trap in the world that they couldn't break.

"That's great! Our stronghold needs talents like you!"

Ren Yuan was especially happy. Tao Zongwang's engineering battalion currently only had him. This couple used to be his assistants, which could help him share a lot of the pressure. This would make the engineering battalion stronger, and the things they built would be even better!

What surprised him even more was that there were actually seven or eight shipbuilding experts in the prison!

They were originally fishermen by the sea, but in order to make a living, they successfully built their own large ships and set sail! The quality of those ships was surprisingly good!

They thought their lives would get better and better, but they never expected that the local officials would arrest them for the secret of the large ship and make them work day and night to build the ship. They finally couldn't take it anymore, killed their superiors, and tried to escape, but failed. As a result, they were sent to the Shamen Prison to suffer.

Upon hearing that Ren Yuan's Liangshan needed talent, they promptly stepped forward, expressing their willingness to build ships for Liangshan and hoping to be released from their confinement.

"You've all worked hard. From now on, you don't need to wear those shackles anymore. We Liangshan don't do that. Go to Brother Meng Kang's side and help him build a large ship! This is the most important thing for our Liangshan in the future!"

The seven or eight shipwrights thanked them profusely and left.

Among the remaining people were farmers, hunters, weavers, and a whole host of other craftsmen, which made Ren Yuan particularly happy.

Liangshan doesn't lack fighters right now, it lacks skilled fighters!

What was most important in the twelfth century? Talent!

"Brother, how was it? Was this trip to the Shamen Prison worthwhile?"

On the way back, Xiao Jiahui said to Ren Yuan with a smile.

"It's totally worth it. With so many talented people joining, Liangshan's reserve force will only get stronger and stronger."

Ren Yuan was very satisfied with this.

"By the way, has Shen Qing come out yet?"

"Brother Shen, you're getting along really well with Brother Pei Xuan now. I reckon the two of them will be working together in the future."

Xiao Jiasui pointed to the crowd, and Ren Yuan looked and sure enough, Pei Xuan was pulling Shen Qing and talking enthusiastically. It seemed that the two of them were kindred spirits!

That's true. Pei Xuan will be in charge of the laws of Liangshan in the future, so he can be considered the chief judge of Liangshan. As for Shen Qing... it's fine for him to stick to his old job and continue being a prison warden!

Everyone was in high spirits until the junior officer who had scouted ahead returned to report:

"Brother, there's a group of men selling medicinal herbs ahead who are being robbed by bandits nearby. Should we, Liangshan, lend a hand?"

"Since we are acting on behalf of Heaven, we must take care of this matter!"

Ren Yuan suddenly perked up! But Xiao Jiahui held him down.

"Brother, you've fought so many times on this trip, this time, let your little brother have some fun too!"
