Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"who!!!"

Hu Cheng was taken aback. This path had always been very hidden, and not many people knew about it. Now, someone was already on the path.

He didn't believe that the sound he had just heard was from God.

"To sell one's own daughter for the sake of one's family's so-called business is truly an injustice in the world."

“Miss Hu, if you feel unwilling but unable to escape this fate, you can speak up and we can help you resolve it. Your brother isn’t very capable.”

"Stop spouting nonsense, you coward! If you've got the guts, come out and fight me for three hundred rounds!"

When Hu Cheng was told he was no good, his expression changed immediately. He became a little agitated and responded very defiantly.

"Okay, as you wish, we're out."

At the corner at the end of the road, many flags suddenly appeared, and a group of people slowly appeared directly in front of them, led by two people dressed as follows:

The man at the head of the group wielded a three-pointed, double-edged sword, wore chainmail, a three-peaked phoenix crown, and a dark cloak. He rode a magnificent black horse. (His equipment is the same as Jiao Ye's from the movie "The Lotus Lantern.")

The man at the lower end wore a lion helmet, a suit of bright, large-leaf armor, carried a steel spear, and rode a white dragon horse.

These were Ren Yuan and Lin Chong, and it was Ren Yuan who was speaking.

"Three-pointed dagger... You are Ren Yuan from Liangshan!"

Hu Cheng exclaimed in surprise, then he remembered that this was the weapon of Ren Yuan, the chief of Liangshan stronghold.

"Not bad, Flying Tiger." Ren Yuan held his three-pointed sword horizontally, looking at him with a smile.

"You're the first person to dare let me out like this. Tell me, are you going to dismount yourself, or should I knock you down?"

"Hu Cheng was unaware that Chief Ren was here. He was out of his mind just now and misspoke. Please forgive him, Chief Ren."

Hu Cheng immediately dismounted and kowtowed to Ren Yuan.

The reaction speed was so fast that it felt like a whirlwind of decisive action. Ren Yuan felt like he had only blinked, and Hu Cheng had already jumped off his horse and knelt on the ground.

"I still prefer your defiant self from earlier. Take a moment to recover. Get up, stop banging your head."

Ren Yuan said to Hu Cheng.

"Thank you very much, Chief Ren."

"So you're Optimus Prime, Ren Yuan?"

Hu Sanniang looked at her with some curiosity.

"Although I am not very talented, there should be no one in Shandong who would dare to impersonate me."

Ren Yuan shrugged. Hu Sanniang was indeed a very beautiful girl. She was tall and slender, and because she practiced martial arts, she looked especially good in armor. In particular, her two long legs were stunning. Even though Ren Yuan had seen many photoshopped legs on Douyin and Douyin in his previous life, he couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart: They were really long!

This is one of the reasons why people call her "One-Zhang-Qing" (meaning "One-Zhang Green"). Furthermore, she is skilled with dual swords, and dual swordsmanship relies heavily on footwork, so those who use dual swords are generally better at leg techniques.

Those legs are long, which is quite reasonable!

"If Chief Ren is incompetent, then what is my brother?"

Hu Sanniang had heard people say how good Ren Yuan and Liangshan were every day, and now that she had met him in person, she was very curious and looked him over.

Yes, he was very tall and strong, and when he looked at me, there was no lewd feeling in his eyes. Even when he saw my long legs, Ren Yuan just glanced at them and moved on without lingering.

"Hu Cheng, I'm not trying to criticize you, but since your sister doesn't want to get married, you, as her brother, should protect her instead of watching her fall into a fire."

Ren Yuan then looked at Hu Cheng. This honest and simple guy was indeed hard to get angry at.

"Chief Ren, you don't know this, but when my little sister was born, a Taoist priest came by and said that my little sister was destined for wealth and honor, but there was a calamity in her life. If she could overcome it, she would be incredibly wealthy, but if she couldn't, she might suffer a miserable fate."

Hu Cheng knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head.

“My father loved her dearly, so he asked that Taoist priest how to resolve the issue. The priest said to arrange a marriage for her nearby, and if nothing unexpected happened, the problem would be resolved.”

"There's such a saying? I've never heard of it."

Hu Sanniang was dumbfounded. She had never heard of this. Brother, you're not making this up, are you?

"Expensive beyond measure? How expensive is it?"

Ren Yuan thought about it and realized something was wrong. In the original story, Hu Sanniang was extremely pitiful. How was she expensive? Even if Liangshan hadn't come, and she had married Zhu Biao, she wouldn't have been considered expensive. At most, she would have been considered wealthy, since Zhu Family Village was a wealthy place.

"So expensive..."

Hu Cheng looked up at Ren Yuan, then slowly raised one hand, pointing a single finger to the sky.

"What's the matter?"

Ren Yuan looked up and saw nothing.

"Junior brother, he means the emperor."

Lin Chong stepped forward and whispered to Ren Yuan.

"Oh? You want to send her to the palace?"

Ren Yuan understood. Well, this guy is obviously a swindler. Does he really think just anyone can get into the palace?

Moreover, it wasn't that he started the trouble, but given Zhao Xiaoji's physique, if Hu Sanniang really entered the palace... it would be very difficult to maintain harmony.

Because Hu Sanniang is too tall and comes from a military background, she cannot be forced.

"Hu Cheng, I didn't expect your Hu family to want to be related to the imperial family. What, do you want to follow in the footsteps of Cao Guojiu and become Hu Guojiu?"

Ren Yuan teased Hu Cheng, saying, "I never expected that such an ambitious person would be hidden in this ordinary Dulonggang!"

"Brother, is this true?"

Hu Sanniang's face had turned ashen. She couldn't believe it! Her brother, you actually had such thoughts!

“Sister, this isn’t my opinion, it’s what that Taoist priest said. Father believes it wholeheartedly too! That’s why he agreed to Zhu Biao’s marriage proposal. He’s just there to protect you from misfortune.”

Hu Cheng quickly said.

"You and Dad are really something. On one hand, you want to use me to get the Zhu Family Village to get on good terms with us and suppress the Li Family Village together. On the other hand, you hope to use Zhu Biao to shield me from disaster. Brother, you and Dad are so good at pretending, do others even know?"

Because Hu Sanniang had practiced martial arts since childhood, she hated all sorts of roundabout ways. She always went straight to the point, and she didn't understand what Hu Taigong and Hu Cheng were doing.

"What destiny? It's all a lie."

Ren Yuan looked at Hu Cheng.

"If the Hu Family Manor wants to rise and accomplish great things, then as the young master, you must work hard yourself, instead of hiding behind your sister! Relying on women to gain something is already despicable, let alone relying on your own sister!"

“Look at you, you’re not even as good at martial arts as her. If she’s wronged, how will you protect her? You’re not a good brother at all.”

"Chief Ren is right to teach us a lesson."

Hu Cheng dared not raise his head.

"Lift your head! Someone like you, calling yourself a Flying Tiger? You're more like a cat!"

Ren Yuan was very serious.

"Today, I'm going to Zhu Family Village to seek justice for my friend. I just overheard that you, Hu Cheng, aren't particularly satisfied with the Zhu family either. Well then, I'll give you a chance to be a man."

"You come with us to the Zhu Family Village, and then, taking advantage of the chaos, secretly open all the village gates. Do you dare?"

"The chieftain is going to attack Zhujiazhuang?!"

Hu Cheng was stunned.

"Yeah, so what? You won't let me? It's no use if you don't let me. I can deal with the Hu family's men first, and then go and attack the Zhu family's men. It's all the same anyway."

Ren Yuan stared at Hu Cheng, wanting to see what he would say.

“Well then… Chief Ren, I’ll go with you!”

Hu Cheng thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, and made a decision.

"Alright, then your Hu Family Village men can stay here. Just pick a few trusted men to follow me."

Ren Yuan was not afraid of the Hu family's betrayal. Behind them was the Mi Sheng's army. If the Hu family acted recklessly, they would suffer.

"You didn't want this marriage, did you? How about it, are you interested in settling things with Zhu Biao yourself?"

Ren Yuan nodded. "Hu Cheng isn't completely hopeless."

Then he turned his head and asked Hu Sanniang.

"Chief Ren, why are you meddling in these matters?"

Hu Sanniang was very curious.

"When there is injustice in the world, Liangshan will take care of it, and we will do what we say. Not just anyone can wave the banner of upholding justice."

Ren Yuan said with great pride.

"Then I want to go. I don't want my life to be arranged by others like this. Please, Chief Ren, give me a chance to change things!"

"Then come on, I promise you, Zhu Biao, whether he lives or dies, is yours to do with as you please!"

"Then let's try to stay alive, since death won't do me any good..."
