Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

Li Ying and Du Xing were unaware that a traitor had emerged from their own village in Lijiazhuang.

Li Ying was still enthusiastically writing a letter, trying to tell Liang Shan that this cooperation had been particularly pleasant, and that they hoped to continue next time! He added that if possible, providing more goods would be no problem!

As for Du Xing, he went to rest first, as he had to rush to Liangshan early tomorrow morning.

When Du Xing returned, he happened to run into the warehouse guards on patrol. Everyone stopped and saluted Du Xing.

"Greetings, Chief Steward."

"Alright, brothers, you've worked hard. The warehouse is a key area, so no one can let their guard down."

Du Xing also gave some special instructions.

"Don't worry, Chief Steward, with us here, not even a mouse can get in! Chief Steward, please put in more effort and bring in more, so the brothers will be more motivated to keep watch!"

Someone in the group responded, which made everyone laugh.

Du Xing laughed, "Alright! You guys get ready to watch the warehouse from now on! I'm going to rest now, you guys continue, just take over on time later."

Du Xing chatted for a few more minutes, then left, leaving the patrol team to continue their duty.

He didn't notice that one person in the group had a subtle change in expression.

This man was none other than the scout who had just gone out to deliver the message!

After Du Xing left, the kid took advantage of the handover break to sneak out of the village overnight and go to deliver a message!

……

The following day, Du Xing, accompanied by four or five trusted men, carrying letters and simple bundles, mounted a fast horse from the manor and quickly headed towards Liangshan.

This was also a secret operation; Du Xing didn't take the main road, but rather a side road.

He thought everything would go smoothly, but unexpectedly, at a bend in the mountain path, a tripwire was suddenly set up, and Du Xing and the others fell off their horses without warning!

"who!"

Du Xing was shocked. He hadn't even left Dulonggang yet, and he had already been ambushed?

"You little devil, it's your grandpa here!"

Zhu Hu led more than a hundred men out of the forest, looking at Du Xing with amusement.

"Zhu Hu? What are you doing here?"

Du Xing already sensed something was wrong. He quietly gave a hand signal to one of his trusted men, who understood and quickly lay down on the ground, using the horse's body to shield himself. Then, taking advantage of the moment when no one was looking, he slipped into the woods by the roadside.

Because it was a corner location, and Zhu Hu and the others were somewhat careless, they didn't notice that he had run away.

"Where is Chief Steward Du headed to make his fortune? Can I come along?"

Zhu Hu didn't mince words and stated his purpose directly.

"Your Zhu Family Village has always had its own businesses, so why are you suddenly trying to take over our Li Family Village?"

Du Xing knew that Zhu Hu was violent, ruthless, and greedy, but he never expected that Zhu Hu would dare to attack him when the three villages were cooperating on the surface.

"Money, who would ever complain about having too much?"

Zhu Hu licked his lips and said to Du Xing.

"If you obediently tell me the secret to how your Li family village got rich, I will make your suffering less."

"So you were planning to use the secrets of my Li Family Village to strengthen your Zhu Family Village, huh? Second Brother Zhu, do you think I'm the kind of person who would betray my master?"

"It's nothing more than a matter of money. As long as you're willing to talk about it, our Zhu Family Village is willing to accept you."

Although Zhu Hu enjoys fighting, he doesn't mind using money to solve problems that can be solved with money.

"Money? Can you afford it?"

As Du Xing spoke, he turned around, took out a letter from his pocket, quickly tore it into several pieces, and then stuffed it into his mouth.

Do you think you can afford it?

Du Xing chewed the letter twice, then swallowed it, looking at Zhu Hu calmly.

"What did you eat?"

Zhu Hu was a simpleton, but not stupid. He knew that since Du Xing had swallowed the item, it meant that the item was very valuable!

"I want you to take care of it?"

Du Xing picked up the fire-and-water stick and pointed it at Zhu Hu.

"Second Brother Zhu, if you have the guts, kill me today. Otherwise, don't even think about getting any clues from me!"

"Kill you? That's too easy for you, you ghost face. I'm going to make you wish you were dead!"

Seeing this, Zhu Hu smiled cruelly, "Once I've captured you, I won't be afraid you won't talk!"

……

The gate of Lijiazhuang.

"Open the door! Open the door quickly! Something terrible has happened!"

Du Xing's trusted confidant was quite fast. After entering the woods, he ran like the wind and headed straight for Li Family Village!

The guards at the gate were all surprised. No, they had just gone out early this morning, how could it be like this now?

So they quickly let him in, wanting to know what had happened.

"Take me to see the master of the manor!"

As soon as the man entered, he immediately wanted to see Li Ying. Li Ying was just about to go hunting when he heard the commotion and quickly came over.

"What happened? Didn't you go out with Du Xing?"

"Master! Master! The Zhu Family Manor is incredibly audacious! They've ambushed and killed us on the way!"

Upon seeing Li Ying, this person felt as if they had found their pillar of support! They immediately rushed over and hugged Li Ying's leg!

"What? Zhu Family Village? Get up and speak properly!"

Upon hearing this, Li Ying became furious.

The Zhu Family Village is going too far!

The confidant quickly got up and told Li Ying everything. The more Li Ying listened, the angrier he became!

Screw Zhu Family Village!

He tolerated the suppression of Li Family Village back then, and he also tolerated the three villages' alliance agreement. Now, he's actually arresting his trusted steward!

He can't stand this!

"They've arrived! Bring me my armor! And order another four hundred retainers! Come with me to the Zhu Family Manor!"

"That Zhu Hu has gone too far! How dare he kidnap my people!"

Li Ying knew that he could trust Du Xing unconditionally, and even if Du Xing was arrested, he would definitely not expose his relationship with Liangshan.

But the problem is, Du Xing is my confidant. Zhu Family Village, you set up an ambush halfway and captured my confidant. You don't take me seriously at all!

If I don't teach you a lesson, you'll think I'm easy to bully!

Li Ying was no longer willing to tolerate it; he wanted to seek justice for Du Xing!

At the same time, he also understood one thing.

There's a traitor within our own estate!

Du Xing went out today, and only the people on his own estate knew about it; no one else knew!

In this situation, the fact that he was intercepted by the Zhu Family Village people halfway and even had his horse tripped with a rope can only mean that there are spies from the Zhu Family Village in his village!

No matter who it is, once he finds them, they're doomed!

Those who betray their own people are unforgivable!

Li Ying was furious, but he managed to restrain himself for a moment. The most important thing now was to rescue Du Xing!

"Master, your armor is ready!"

A servant brought Li Ying his armor and weapons, and Li Ying immediately changed into them on the spot!

"Let's go! Go rescue Du Xing! Today I'll see what makes the Zhu Family Village think they can intercept my men!"

Li Ying mounted his horse, and the four hundred retainers behind him gradually arrived. Without delay, he immediately ordered everyone to prepare for the attack!

"Master, should we call upon the people from the Hu family manor?"

A servant asked.

"No, the relationship between Master Hu and his prospective son-in-law is unclear. We don't know which side the Hu family is on. If the Hu family completely sides with the Zhu family, we will just be creating an enemy for ourselves."

"Everyone says the Zhu Family Village is particularly difficult to attack right now. Humph, I don't believe they can pull off any tricks."

Li Ying didn't seek any help; he just charged straight in!

He wanted to see if the Zhu Family Village was really that hard to conquer!
