Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

Ren Yuan, along with Hu Cheng, Hu Sanniang, and dozens of trusted men from Hu Family Village, headed to Zhu Family Village.

The remaining troops were left to Mi Sheng to handle, and they were to be used as an ambush force.

Throughout the journey, Hu Cheng remained obsequious, afraid of doing anything wrong that might displease Ren Yuan.

"Hu Cheng, don't be so sneaky. If you go to Zhu Family Village like this, they'll immediately see that you're up to no good."

Ren Yuan thought that Hu Cheng was a really scoundrel.

"Chief, this is a mission to wipe out the entire village, you know? I'm so nervous!"

Hu Cheng grinned. "Are you kidding me? Do you really think I'm one of your Liangshan people, killing without blinking an eye?"

"nervous?"

Ren Yuan laughed, "Then why don't you go back?"

"Never mind, I'll go anyway."

Hu Cheng wasn't stupid. If he dared to answer Ren Yuan's question, which was delivered through gritted teeth, he'd probably be chopped up the next second.

"That's right, it's not that difficult. Think about how Zhu Biao and the others usually bully you, don't you want to beat them up?"

"Or are you, Hu Cheng, someone who wouldn't say a word even if someone bullied him?"

"Tell me loudly, do you want revenge?"

Mentioning this brought back memories of the past for Hu Cheng.

When he was a child, the three Zhu brothers liked to bully him because there were few people in Hujiazhuang and Hu Cheng had no brothers, so he was the one who got beaten up.

Especially Zhu Long and Zhu Hu, those two guys have always treated Hu Cheng like a lackey.

Later, when Zhu Biao arrived, this kid became even more cunning and wicked, always resorting to underhanded tactics. Hu Cheng, being rather honest, suffered a lot as a result.

Yeah, you messed with me back then, so it's only right that I mess with you now!

"miss you!"

Thinking of this, Hu Cheng no longer hesitated. His anger flared up, and he immediately puffed out his chest to show that he was fine!

"Beautiful! That's the spirit!"

Ren Yuan patted Hu Cheng, saying that was more like it; otherwise, instead of calling him Flying Tiger, they should just call him Flying Kitten.

Before long, the group arrived near the Zhu Family Village. By this time, the other Liangshan troops had already taken their positions.

"Go, Hu Cheng. After you go in, I will launch an attack in about half an hour. Find a good spot to hide, understand?"

"Understood, don't worry, it's just opening the door, I get it!"

Hu Cheng is now focused on revenge, and he can do it exceptionally well even without Ren Yuan's orders!

"Brother, be careful."

"Don't worry, little sister. If we don't show our power, they'll think we're just cats! This time, they'll pay the price!"

This time, Hu Cheng spoke with great confidence.

……

"Hey, brother-in-law, what brings you here?"

After Hu Cheng led his men into the manor, he didn't waste any words and went straight to the Zhu brothers.

To his surprise, only Zhu Biao showed up.

"Zhu Biao, you're all alone. Where's your brother?"

"I've gone to recuperate."

Zhu Long and Zhu Hu's injuries hadn't fully healed yet; after all, only a few days had passed, and the wounds inflicted by Li Ying's flying daggers wouldn't heal so easily.

"I went out hunting today and happened to pass by your house. I was thinking of inviting you brothers for a drink, but I didn't expect such bad luck."

Hu Cheng said that on purpose.

"Brother-in-law, you're too kind. There's no need for such formalities. I have some good wine at my estate. Let's take two jars and enjoy it!"

"Let's not wait a little while, let's do it now! Two jars aren't enough, bring us a few more!"

Hu Cheng pretended to be ready to have a drinking contest and wouldn't let go of Zhu Biao.

"Good grief, are you sure you can handle this? Looks like you didn't come here to treat me, but rather to challenge me to a drinking contest? What's wrong? Did my fiancée bully you again?"

Although Zhu Biao was somewhat surprised by Hu Cheng's performance, he didn't really take Hu Cheng seriously.

In his opinion, if Hu Cheng didn't have a good younger sister, he wouldn't be anyone at all.

He's bad at martial arts, and he's not good-looking either.

"Mind your own business! I'm just asking you, do you have any alcohol? I want the best and strongest kind! Do you dare to drink with me until we're completely drunk?"

Hu Cheng shouted.

"What's there to be afraid of? Come on!"

Zhu Biao had no doubts. Anyway, Hu Cheng was a good-for-nothing who would easily embarrass himself when drunk, so he drank with him!

Thinking of this, he immediately ordered his men to bring the best liquor in the estate, along with food and drinks, and set up a table in the courtyard to drink with his future brother-in-law.

However, the wine was consumed exceptionally quickly today. Hu Cheng and Zhu Biao kept drinking it back and forth, and soon the two of them had finished two jars!

But just as the two of them were getting a little drunk, suddenly, a deafening battle cry rang out from outside the manor!

"what happened!"

Zhu Biao was somewhat tipsy and didn't quite understand what had happened.

"It's nothing, it's all an illusion. Here, have another bowl!"

Hu Cheng knew, of course, that Liangshan had begun their attack, but he needed to stall Zhu Biao, or rather, to get Zhu Biao to drink a little more!

"Really... glug glug..."

Zhu Biao's face was flushed, and with Hu Cheng urging him to drink, he really didn't know if he was hallucinating.

"Report! Report! Young master, Liangshan! The Liangshan troops are attacking! There are people everywhere outside the manor!"

After Hu Cheng had poured several more bowls of wine into his mouth, a farmhand with an arrow stuck in his shoulder ran in, crying and sobbing.

"What did you say?"

Zhu Biao stood up abruptly, but he accidentally stood up too fast and felt a little dizzy.

Hu Cheng quickly stood up and helped Zhu Biao up.

If you're going to put on a show, you have to go all the way!

"Why are you in such a panic? Speak properly!"

Hu Cheng tried to delay as much as possible.

"Young Master, the outside is full of Liangshan people! They say they're here to avenge the Li Family Village, and they demand we hand over Du Xing immediately and compensate the Li Family Village! Otherwise, they'll..."

"So what? Stop beating around the bush! Just say it!"

Although Zhu Biao was drunk, he still had a bad temper.

"They're about to storm our village!"

"He's gone too far! Is there no law anymore?!"

Before Zhu Biao could say anything, Hu Cheng exploded.

"Brother-in-law, I didn't bring any weapons. You have a knife here, take one and I'll go into battle with you to see what kind of people these Liangshan bandits are!"

"Good! Hu Cheng, you've got guts! I'll have to look at you in a new light today!"

Zhu Biao was surprised; did Hu Cheng really have such a courageous side?

"Go and inform the eldest and second young masters that thieves are here. Even if you're still injured, you'd better get up! Hiccup~"

"Then I'll tell my dad and Teacher Luan to come to the gate immediately. *Hiccup*"

"Get your armor ready! My brother-in-law and I are heading out to face the enemy! *burp*"

Zhu Biao's words were quite domineering, and it would have been even better if he hadn't burped at the end.

"That's right! Brother-in-law, wait a moment, let me go first! You there, take me to the warehouse and get me a knife! Hurry up!"

Hu Cheng rushed out with a loud bang, and his entourage followed him out in a flurry!

"Having a brother-in-law like this is truly wonderful! Quickly, bring me my armor too!"

Zhu Biao was touched; his brother-in-law was truly the best!

"Listen carefully, in a little while, someone needs to keep an eye on all three doors. If a fight breaks out at the main entrance, be quick and open the door immediately!"

Hu Cheng gave instructions to his attendants in a low voice.

"Yes, young master. And what about you?"

The attendants asked.

"You'll find out when I get to the battlefield."

Hu Cheng smiled mysteriously. He suddenly realized that he seemed to have a talent for disguise, but he just hadn't discovered it before!

Don't believe me? Look. Zhu Biao was fooled by himself!
