Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Pack up the things in the stronghold. Those who are willing to go to Liangshan can go on their own. Those who are not willing to go will each be given 3 strings of cash as travel expenses."

After deciding to join Liangshan, Zhu Wu and the others returned to the stronghold and quickly made their decision.

The henchmen were somewhat surprised, as many of them had only recently arrived at the mountain and did not expect to have to move to another mountain so soon.

This has shaken the resolve of many people.

Furthermore, with Zhu Wu offering to cover travel expenses, many people chose to leave immediately.

In the end, only about seventy or eighty people were willing to follow Zhu Wu to Liangshan.

"Brother, with so many of us, won't there be problems going back?"

But seventy or eighty people really stood out, which made Zhu Wu a little worried.

"It's alright, we'll use the same method as before. We'll disguise ourselves as a caravan. I left Master Chai's flag with me, so we can just hang it up."

Ren Yuan had, of course, taken this into consideration; he always carried Chai Da Guanren's banner with him.

It must be said that in the Song Dynasty, whether it was the bandits or the legitimate world, Chai Da Guanren's influence was truly powerful.

Sometimes, Ren Yuan would even secretly tease Chai Jin in his heart, wondering if Chai Jin was a man who had eaten the fruit of face-saving.

“Brother, it’s my responsibility that I couldn’t bring more people up the mountain.”

Zhu Wu felt somewhat guilty. Liangshan was just starting out, and if he could recruit more people to join the mountain, it would be a great achievement.

"It's alright! Strategist, from now on, joining Liangshan will be entirely voluntary. We don't want anyone who's forced to join."

Ren Yuan patted Zhu Wu on the shoulder, telling him not to worry about it too much.

After everyone finished cleaning up, Ren Yuan seemed to remember something, pulled Shi Qian aside, and said to him:

"Brother, pick a few of the smart-looking ones from among these people, train them well, and send them back in a few months to gather information about Shijiazhuang. They are locals and familiar with the situation here, so they will be more effective."

"Brother, are you planning to wage war against that village?"

Shi Qian was somewhat surprised, as this was the first time Ren Yuan had asked to use spies to investigate a village.

"No, I have an old friend in that village, but now is not the time to meet him."

"Understood, brother. Don't worry, I'll leave it to you."

Shi Qian nodded, indicating that he understood.

He didn't ask who this old friend was; as long as Ren Yuan said he needed it, he would agree without hesitation.

The group embarked on their journey back to the mountain. With so many heroes traveling together, the journey was naturally very lively. Moreover, with Chai Jin's banner in hand, no one bothered them along the way.

Even if there is harassment, we are not afraid. Although Ren Yuan is the leader of Liangshan, he has not committed any crimes. Currently, the government does not have his portrait. He is innocent and no one will arrest him.

The group traveled for about half a month, and it was now early summer. On this day, they entered a county town.

Although the county town is not large, it was close to noon and the streets were still quite crowded, making it seem rather lively at first glance.

Where is this from?

Ren Yuan wasn't particularly familiar with the map of the Song Dynasty; he had never been here before.

"Brother, this should be Qinghe County."

Shi Qian often travels around, so he is quite familiar with some of the places.

"Qinghe?"

The first thing that came to Ren Yuan's mind was the brothers Wu Da and Wu Song. Judging by the time, they should still be hiding in Chai Da Guanren's mansion.

The second person that comes to mind is a woman who is highly controversial in literary history.

Pan Jinlian.

At this point in time, Wu Da... probably hasn't married Pan Jinlian yet.

In fact, Ren Yuan felt that Pan Jinlian was rather unfortunate.

She should have been an innocent and romantic young girl, but due to her family's decline, she had to become a maid in a wealthy household.

She was given to Wu Da as his wife because she resisted the master's harassment and was disliked by the master's wife.

What does this show? It shows that Pan Jinlian wasn't that kind of woman at heart.

She once had dreams and hopes for life, but repeated disappointments shattered those hopes, which ultimately led to her being taken advantage of by Ximen Qing.

Overall, she was a pitiful person. (This is not to whitewash Pan Jinlian, but rather to point out that the historical Pan Jinlian was deeply in love with her husband, yet she is best known for her negative portrayal in the novel.)

He shook his head, because he knew he couldn't change everyone's fate, but if given the chance, he wouldn't mind changing the fate of this unfortunate man.

"Stop! Stop!"

Just as Ren Yuan was feeling sentimental, a commotion suddenly broke out in front of him on the street, and ordinary people in front of him quickly made way for him!

"Brother, someone is causing trouble."

Sun An and Ren Yuan were both nine feet tall. Being tall, they could see far and immediately noticed the problem.

A group of men dressed as servants, about thirty or forty in number, were chasing after the two girls.

The two girls were dressed as a chivalrous swordsman, and the other was dressed as an ordinary girl.

The girl in the athletic outfit was pulling the girl in the ordinary outfit along as they ran.

But it was clear that the girl wasn't a trained athlete, so she couldn't run fast, and the distance between the two groups was gradually closing.

"What's going on? Are they forcibly abducting a woman?"

Ren Yuan and the others were somewhat curious.

"Sister, put me down and run away yourself. There's no need for you to suffer because of me."

At this moment, the two girls were quite close to the caravan that Ren Yuan and his companions had disguised themselves as. The skilled martial artists could already hear their conversation.

"No way! These people are the ones who bullied you! I can't let you fall into their clutches again! Stay close to me, and I'll definitely stand up for you!"

"Brother, it seems like she's doing something to right a wrong, and she's a female knight-errant."

Sun An smiled and said to Ren Yuan.

"I can see that. It's quite interesting."

Ren Yuan hadn't yet seen what the two people looked like, but it was quite rare for a female knight-errant to save someone in the Song Dynasty.

He became interested immediately.

"Young lady ahead, do you need help?"

Ren Yuan gathered his energy in his dantian and shouted, causing the flags of the surrounding shops to shake!

The female warrior, who was running with her head down, was delighted when she heard the voice. Looking in the direction of the sound, she saw Ren Yuan's tall and imposing figure on his horse, followed by a group of people.

"Brother in front, please lend a hand! I will repay you handsomely!"

"Haha, no thanks needed! Come on over!"

Ren Yuan laughed heartily and gestured for the two of them to come over. The woman dressed as a swordsman was overjoyed and pulled the woman behind her over.

Ren Yuan signaled his henchmen to part ways and let them into his own ranks.

"Phew, that's great, little sister, we're safe now."

The girl dressed as a female knight-errant stopped, patted her chest, took a breath, and quickly comforted the girl dressed as an ordinary person.

"What's wrong with you guys? Why are those people chasing you?"

Ren Yuan was somewhat curious; clearly, the dozens of people chasing them must be someone of considerable importance.

By now, they had caught up with us.

"us……"

The girl dressed as a female knight was about to speak when she was interrupted by the voices of the people chasing her from behind.

"You damned caravan, what kind of merchant caravan are you? Daring to provoke us! You dare to interfere in the affairs of the Zhang family?! Hey you! The biggest one, who are you?!"

The pursuers arrived in front of Ren Yuan's group and were naturally stopped. Seeing his own group being blocked, the leader of the servants was furious and pointed at Ren Yuan while cursing!

"How dare you speak to my manager like that!"

Zhu Wu, disguised as the accountant, didn't forget his role and stepped forward to respond.

"Who does your manager think he is! He'd better hand over those two wretched women right now! Otherwise, the Zhang family of Qinghe won't be so easy to talk to!"

The head servant was still acting arrogantly.

"The Zhang family of Qinghe? Never heard of them."

Ren Yuan rode out, his face grim.

"Are you all blind?! Do you even recognize the banner of the Chai family of Cangzhou?! The Zhang family is nothing but a fart!"

These domineering words, combined with Ren Yuan's aura, immediately made the arrogant servants tremble and take a few steps back.

"The Chai family...which Chai family...I...I've never heard of them!"

The lead servant was also terrified by Ren Yuan, his face turning pale, but he still tried to put on a brave face.

"Hmph! Ignorant! Get out! Go back and get your manager here! You're not worthy to speak to me!"

Ren Yuan waved his hand domineeringly, and his henchmen behind him became as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood, eager to try with the sticks in their hands. This made the Zhang family servants who were chasing them chicken out.

They could only slink away, but before leaving, the leading servant still uttered some harsh words:

"Bah! So what if the Chai family is so great! You just wait and see!"
