Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Brother Xiao, I'm so sorry, I really can't help it with my mother's condition..."

Hsu Kuan-chung was a little taken aback by Hsiao Chia-hui's overly familiar manner.

Brother, this is our first time meeting, right? My mother's condition hasn't been confirmed yet, so how can I concentrate on playing chess?

"Guanzhong, rest assured, with Doctor An and Doctor Hua taking action, even the King of Hell will tremble."

Ren Yuan smiled and patted Xu Guanzhong on the shoulder.

"No rush, let's sit down and wait."

Ren Yuan gestured for both of them to sit down. In any case, with An Daoquan and Huawei taking action at the same time, there was nothing they couldn't handle so far.

Hearing Ren Yuan say this, Xu Guanzhong felt a little relieved and sat down with Ren Yuan and Xiao Jiasui to wait.

After a while, An Daoquan and Huawei came out of the consultation room together.

"Miracle doctor, how are you?"

Xu Guanzhong immediately stood up.

"It's alright, but you need to rest, especially now that it's winter. It's best not to travel long distances again and stay in Liangshan to recuperate."

An Daoquan said.

"Yes, stay here for a while. We'll give you acupuncture twice a day, plus medication. Getting better shouldn't be a problem."

Huawei also stated.

"That's fine, that's fine."

Xu Guanzhong was immediately relieved. With both renowned doctors saying so, he felt much more confident.

"Chief, miracle doctor, what about the consultation fee and the cost of the medicine..."

"Guanzhong, this is a free clinic. Free clinic, you should know what that means, right? Hahaha, there are no consultation fees and no medicine fees!"

Ren Yuan said with a loud laugh.

"Really not? My mother's illness is no minor one, and it was treated by two renowned doctors. Does that mean there are no consultation fees or medicine costs?"

Xu Guanzhong was shocked. He had previously thought that the Liangshan free clinic should not charge for consultations, but there might be some cost for medicine.

Today, however, he is being treated by two renowned doctors, and he is already prepared to pay the consultation fee.

"No need, Brother Xu, you don't know this, but before, our Liangshan raided the entire family of a herbal medicine merchant who was harming the people in Yanggu County. We obtained a lot of medicinal herbs, enough for our Liangshan free clinics for several years. So these things are free now!"

Xiao Jiahui said with a smile.

"Liangshan... is truly wonderful, the chieftain is so benevolent!"

Xu Guanzhong bowed deeply to Ren Yuan, and then bowed to the divine physician.

"Then, miracle doctor, I'm entrusting my mother to you."

“No problem, Chief. There are plenty of empty houses on the mountain. Give this kid one so he and his mother can stay there for now. This illness won’t get better in at least six months. Let them stay on the mountain so it will be convenient for Senior Hua and me to make medical visits.”

An Daoquan knew that Ren Yuan really wanted Xu Guanzhong to come up the mountain, so he went along with it and said, "Stay here."

"Haha, brother, this is a great idea! Brother Xu, I've always heard you say that you are skilled in both literature and martial arts. Now that we're staying on the mountain, we can spar anytime."

Xiao Jiahui was also happy.

"You should also ask Ren Guanzhong for his opinion."

Ren Yuan smiled and said to Guan Zhong, "Guan Zhong, it's not that we're forcing you to stay on Liangshan. We Liangshan brothers all came here voluntarily, out of friendship and camaraderie. We would never take advantage of your kindness. If you don't want to live on the mountain, that's fine too. We'll still wholeheartedly take care of your mother's medical needs."

Ren Yuan spoke with particular sincerity.

“I naturally believe what the chieftain says. Moreover, I can sense that the divine doctor and Brother Xiao are both sincere.”

Xu Guanzhong nodded. Before he came, he had of course inquired about the situation in Liangshan.

Well, Liangshan surprised him. He never expected that a stronghold of bandits would treat the people so well, and none of the leaders were forcibly brought there.

Moreover, every year, many people from all over the Song Dynasty would come here hoping to join Liangshan and be protected by Liangshan.

The counties near Liangshan are now at peace. The officials in the counties dare not exploit the people. If anyone does, they will be met with either the swords of Liangshan or the labor camp of Liangshan.

So Xu Guanzhong was genuinely curious: what was the magic of Liangshan? And what kind of person was Ren Yuan, the leader of the Liangshan stronghold?

After this meeting, he understood why: it was because Ren Yuan truly cared for the people! The people weren't stupid; they could tell who the real good person was!

"Chief, if you don't mind, Guan Zhong will be bothering you for a while."

Because he had a good impression of Ren Yuan, Xu Guanzhong spoke up first.

"No trouble at all! If Guan Zhong is willing, he can stay as long as he wants! Liangshan will take care of all his food and lodging!"

Ren Yuan was naturally very happy. Xu Guanzhong was fluent in various languages, and since Yang Zhi and his men were about to attack Jeju Island, it would be even better if Xu Guanzhong could help as a translator or even offer some advice!

“Chief, we cannot accept undeserved rewards. Since my mother and I live in Liangshan, we cannot let the stronghold make sacrifices for us. If there is anything the stronghold can do for me, please speak up.”

When Xu Guanzhong heard that Ren Yuan planned to provide him and his mother with food, lodging, and medical care, he felt a little embarrassed. After all, Ren Yuan was a renowned scholar living in seclusion and not the type to take advantage of others.

"Haha, okay, Guanzhong, you take care of my mother first. If I need your help, I won't be polite."

For someone like Xu Guanzhong, sincerity is the ultimate weapon. Ren Yuan went straight to the point and told him, "I will definitely ask you for help!"

“Great! Come on, Brother Xu, there’s an empty room right next to my house. Just come with me.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jiahui was delighted and quickly gestured for Xu Guanzhong to follow him.

“Alright, Guanzhong, you can go with Lao Xiao. Although he seems a bit eccentric, he’s a very reliable person.”

Ren Yuan's expression showed that he was at ease with Xiao Jiahui's work.

"I know, Xiao Jiasui, the strategist, is a descendant of the Liang royal family. He is skilled in both literature and martial arts and is known throughout the martial arts world as the number one strategist of Liangshan. Since joining the mountain, he has repeatedly achieved military exploits and is the chief's right-hand man. Brother Xiao, I hope to trouble you a lot in the future."

Hsu Kuan-chung stated that he was well aware of Hsiao Chia-hui's background.

"Good heavens, Brother Xu, you noticed me a long time ago! I dare not claim to be the number one strategist. Mr. Wen is still here. As a junior, I dare not presume to claim the top spot."

Xiao Jiahui waved his hand, saying he didn't care about being number one.

"As for you living next door to me, that won't bother you at all. Just play chess with me when you have free time. After all, there are too many terrible chess players around here in Liangshan. Brother Xu's skill level should suit my taste. I think you will be a very good opponent!"

"Wait a minute, may I ask who you're referring to as this terrible chess player?"

Ren Yuan hooked his arm around Xiao Jiahui's shoulder and asked with a smile.

"Brother, there are some things we can't say outright, right? Ah—"
