Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Master, are we just going to let Li Ying go like this?!"

Seeing that Li Ying had retreated, Zhu Biao was unwilling to give up and came up to ask Luan Tingyu.

"Snapped!"

Luan Tingyu slapped Zhu Biao on the head with a backhand.

"Tell me, what else do you want? Huh?"

Luan Tingyu got angry.

"I don't know what happened, but you've driven this honest man, Li Ying, to this point. Whose fault do you think it is?"

"Don't tell me he colluded with Liangshan. Do you have any evidence? If you do, show it to me! I'll go with you to arrest him without hesitation, and then we'll go see the authorities!"

"This...no..."

Zhu Biao might be arrogant with others, but he would never dare to be arrogant with his master.

"If you don't have it, then what are you talking about!"

Luan Tingyu was also angry. "How did I teach you? You need to have a legitimate reason for attacking. No matter what, Li Ying is the head of a manor. I can understand if you want to beat him up, but can you use your brains for once!"

“If I weren’t in the manor today, do you think any of you three could have escaped? If Li Ying were to tie up all three of you and exchange them for Du Xing, would you still have any shame?”

Zhu Biao didn't dare to say anything, mainly because they really hadn't found any leverage against him; otherwise, they would have already started clamoring for a fight.

"Master, I know I was wrong."

Since he couldn't beat his master, Zhu Biao decided to admit his mistake in order to avoid being scolded.

Anyway, as long as I admit my mistake, my master won't make things too difficult for me.

"You know you're wrong?"

Luan Tingyu looked at Zhu Biao and decided it was best not to scold him anymore.

After all, he was his own apprentice. He had already hit him and scolded him, so he decided to let it go.

"Take your two older brothers with you and come back with me. Their injuries need to be checked out. As for the steward from Li Family Village whom you arrested, if you really can't get anything out of him, then release him immediately, otherwise Li Ying will definitely come back."

Luan Tingyu still felt sorry for his apprentice.

"Don't worry, Master, I understand."

Zhu Biao verbally agreed, but what he actually did? Nobody knows.

On the other side, Li Yingqiang endured the pain and returned to the manor. He took off his armor, and his left shoulder was covered in a large bruise!

"Master, this injury requires proper rest. It might have broken a bone."

There were doctors in the village, and after examining Li Ying, the doctor looked very serious.

Clearly, Li Ying's injury is quite difficult to treat.

"It's nothing, I'll just rest for a bit, ouch..."

Li Ying wanted to show off a bit, but when he raised his arm, he was in excruciating pain.

That meteor hammer really hits hard!

"Master, there's a small problem. If Liangshan comes to help, then our relationship with Liangshan will be exposed, and then..."

“That’s alright. We can just follow them up the mountain. Besides, I know Chief Ren. He won’t force anyone to go up the mountain.”

Li Ying believed he knew Ren Yuan quite well and didn't think Ren Yuan would take the opportunity to blackmail him.

"Alright, Master, I'll go to Liangshan for help right away! With Doctor An there, Master's injury shouldn't be a problem!"

Upon seeing this, the trusted servant immediately stepped forward and spoke to Li Ying.

"Go quickly and come back quickly, be careful on the road! Don't let anyone discover your whereabouts."

Li Ying whispered instructions to his trusted confidant.

"Don't worry, Master, but you still need to be careful. There are probably spies in the manor eyeing you."

"Don't worry, I'm fine. It's just a nail; it won't hurt me."

Li Ying waved his hand, signaling his trusted confidant to leave quickly.

As for the nails in his estate, humph, they'll be pulled out sooner or later!

Before leaving, that trusted confidant specifically instructed others:

"Protect the master well. If anything goes wrong, you will be held responsible!"

"Don't worry, just be careful when you go to Liangshan."

His other trusted confidants also quickly reminded him, since Chief Steward Du Xing had already been arrested, and it would be terrible if another one were arrested.

"Don't worry, I'll take the back road. It's a bit longer, but it's very safe."

While most of the people in the village were still in a state of confusion, this trusted confidant quietly mingled with the crowd, left the village, and quickly headed towards Liangshan.

……

A few days later, at Liangshan.

Ren Yuan looked at the travel-worn, disheveled man before him, whose clothes were torn by thorns and rocks in the mountains, yet he still came to deliver the message, and he felt admiration for Li Ying.

With such fearless and extremely loyal servants, Li Ying, the master of the manor, is quite qualified!

"So, the conflict between the Li Family Village and the Zhu Family Village was because of the cooperation between the Li Family Village and our Liangshan?"

"Yes, Chief Ren. The Zhu Family Village is envious of how much money we made from selling salt this time, so they deliberately detained Steward Du Xing and tried to force us to tell them where the goods came from."

“Our lord went to seek justice, but was injured by their teacher, Luan Tingyu. So now we want to ask Chief Ren to step forward and seek justice for our lord.”

Ren Yuan thought for a moment. Zhu Family Village was a place that would have to be dealt with sooner or later. Since it had just started because of Li Ying's matter, he might as well take care of it.

“However, once we go to Liangshan, the relationship between your master and us will be exposed. Have you thought about what to do next?”

Ren Yuan was somewhat curious. Why was Li Ying coming directly to him instead of seeking help from the government? Was he going to go up the mountain?

"The chieftain said that the village chief would not do anything to threaten people, so the chieftain doesn't care."

"Alright, just because the master trusts me so much, I have to go and support him!"

Ren Yuan nodded, then spoke to the strategists beside him.

“Strategists, this Master Li is a partner of Liangshan. He is being bullied by the Zhu Family Village. As partners, we cannot stand idly by. Moreover, the Zhu Family Village is trying to cut off our new salt route, which further affects our interests. I have decided to send troops. Do you agree?”

"Brother, just say you want to beat up the Zhu Family Village, no need to say so much."

Xiao Jiahui gently waved her feather fan, her face displaying an expression that said, "I know everything."

“Brother, we can attack the Zhu Family Village. Conservatively speaking, they have more than 500,000 shi of grain. Once we take it down, Liangshan will not lack food for several years.”

Zhu Wu had already inquired about the situation in Zhu Family Village, and the village had a lot of supplies!

"Whether it's out of loyalty to friends or for the development of counterfeit goods, I support cracking down on it."

Wen Huanzhang also indicated that it was possible to fight.

The remaining Gongsun Sheng, Qiao Daoqing, and the others naturally agreed.

"Alright, since everyone agrees, let's go down the mountain and have a good chat with this Zhu Family Village!"

Ren Yuan also felt that it would be a disservice to his identity as a transmigrator not to take such a large supply package from Zhu Family Village!

"Brother, I must go this time!"

Mi Sheng jumped up and down, he was so bored because he missed the last Green Forest Gathering.

"Alright, you're coming with me this time!"

Ren Yuan thought about it and said, "No problem. Zhujiazhuang is located on Dulonggang, where the terrain is quite complex. There are many hunters in Mi Sheng's camp, so it might even have a surprising effect!"

"Great! I'll go tell the guys right away!"

Mi Sheng happily slipped away; he was going to tell his men, "Little ones, we have work to do!"

“Brother, one battalion of Mi Sheng brothers is definitely not enough.”

Zhu Wu stepped forward and said, "How about this time, I'll select some people and accompany my brother down the mountain?"

"Alright, then you'll be in charge of this. Remember, this time, we're not going to attack the Zhu Family Village, but to support Master Li! Understand?"

"clear."

Zhu Wu looked at Ren Yuan and nodded.

I understand that we have a legitimate reason for our actions!
