Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Good guy?"

Shi Wengong looked at Su Ding as if he didn't recognize him.

"Su Ding, who exactly are you?!"

"who am I?"

Su Ding smiled after hearing Shi Wengong ask this question.

"I am a person who has long lost my name, and sometimes I don't even know who I am."

"You mean you're a spy? Impossible! You've been in Zengtou City for over ten years, and you've been an associate teacher for five or six years now. How could such a thing happen to you!"

Shi Wengong found it hard to believe. Su Ding was also an old man in Zengtou City. Although he had been a teacher for as long as he had, he had been promoted to associate teacher. Zeng Nong couldn't possibly have not investigated his background!

How could he be a spy!

"Hey, have you ever heard of the Dragon Cavalry?"

Su Ding looked at Shi Wengong, his tone complicated.

"I'm thirty-six years old this year. I joined the Dragon Cavalry Guard twenty years ago."

"Dragon Riders? What are those?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Wengong was very puzzled: "Aren't you just a junior officer?"

"When the late emperor was alive, I was indeed just a junior officer."

Su Ding chuckled self-deprecatingly, recalling the image of the young and dashing emperor from years ago.

"Soldiers, from this day forward, the Dragon Cavalry Guard is your home!"

"We, the Dragon Cavalry, have only one goal: to expel the barbarians and restore our land!"

"My soldiers, are you willing to help me kill the traitors!"

……

In the first year of the Shaosheng era of the Song Dynasty (1094), sixteen-year-old Su Ding and dozens of his comrades of the same age joined the Dragon Cavalry Guard, a secret force established by Emperor Zhezong of Song!

The young Emperor Zhezong of Song had only one purpose in bringing together this group of equally young and passionate men: to cultivate a vigorous new army that could be used by him!

At the same time, it is also an army that cannot show its face and cannot be recorded in history! After joining the Dragon Riders, there is no name, no identity, only a mask and a code name.

The missions of the Dragon Riders include, but are not limited to, infiltration, reconnaissance, and assassination.

Moreover, their targets were only foreign tribes! That is, the Western Xia, the Liao Dynasty, and the Jurchen!

Starting in the second year of the Shaosheng era, this newly established Dragon Cavalry Guard entered Western Xia many times to gather intelligence on Western Xia's military situation, making great contributions to the victory in the two battles of Pingxia City!

If Emperor Zhezong had not died young, the Dragon Cavalry Guard would have flourished under his leadership sooner or later!

"You're Su Ding, right?"

The young man in the yellow robe smiled and said to the equally young Su Ding:

"Look at you using the Phoenix Winged Gilded Halberd! That's the weapon of the Heavenly Treasure General, as told by storytellers!"

"In that case, after we pacify the foreign tribes, I will also appoint you as the Heavenly Treasure General! What do you think?"

……

"So, you are the late emperor's spy."

Shi Wengong looked at Su Ding, and was surprised to find that Su Ding had such a story.

"Yes."

Su Ding nodded.

"Then why did you come to Zengtou City?"

"This is my mission."

Su Ding looked at Shi Wengong and said, word by word.

In the second year of Yuanfu, Su Ding, a member of the Dragon Cavalry Guard, received a mission to go to the Jurchens as a spy. However, while he was on his mission, two pieces of news came as a complete shock.

First, the Dragon Cavalry Guards were betrayed and wiped out in a single operation!

Secondly, Emperor Zhezong died five days after the entire Dragon Cavalry was wiped out.

Only Su Ding, who was hiding in Jurchen territory at the time, survived.

When he secretly returned to the capital, he found that the court had changed. Prince Duan had ascended the throne, but seemed to have completely forgotten about the Dragon Cavalry Guard. Moreover, Prince Duan did not have the same ambition as the late emperor!

So Su Ding was disappointed, but he did not forget the task the late emperor had given him.

So he wandered the world, eventually settling down in Zengtou City.

Because Zengtou City was inhabited entirely by Jurchen people!

Su Ding was in Zengtou City, acting as a spy! He was carrying out the late emperor's mission!

Why has the imperial court ignored Zengtou City all these years?

Because they would occasionally receive anonymous messages about Zengtou City.

Therefore, they left Zengtou City to its own devices, since they basically knew all the news anyway.

"So, you're going to arrest me?"

Shi Wengong gritted his teeth.

Good grief, I thought I had found a good brother, but it turns out I found a spy!

“Shi Wengong, if you were just a teacher, I wouldn’t say anything more.”

"But if you want to defect to the Jurchens and betray your country, then I cannot forgive you!"

"Shi Wengong, I have been ordered by the late emperor to arrest you, you traitor!"

Su Ding held the phoenix-winged gilded halberd horizontally and said to Shi Wengong.

"Heh, you just said you were the last Dragon Rider, right?"

Shi Wengong looked at Su Ding and sneered.

"Let alone the late emperor, even the current emperor has no say over me, Shi Wengong!"

"Starting today, there will be no more Dragon Cavalry Guards!"

After Shi Wengong finished speaking, he swung his halberd and charged towards Su Ding!

No one can stop him from achieving wealth and glory. Not Master Zhou, not Master Chen, not Commander Zeng, and not you, Su Ding!

"Dang~"

Su Ding swung his phoenix-winged gilded halberd, trying his best to parry Shi Wengong's halberd!

"Su Ding! You want to arrest me? Do you have the ability? With someone like you who isn't even half a step into the pinnacle?"

"Do you really think that the pinnacle realm, which all martial artists in the Song Dynasty aspire to, is so easy to overcome?"

Shi Wengong's relentless attacks forced Su Ding to defend himself. After more than twenty rounds, Su Ding was struck in the thigh by Shi Wengong's halberd, followed by another blow to the back, knocking him off his horse!

"Cough cough!" After Su Ding fell from his horse, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

When Shi Wengong is enraged, his fighting power is indeed exceptionally high!

He, Su Ding, cannot be stopped!

"Su Ding! Go to hell and reunite with your damned Dragon Cavalry!"

Shi Wengong swung his halberd, the gleaming halberd aimed straight for Su Ding's head!

Su Ding watched the halberd getting closer and closer, sighed deeply, and closed his eyes.

Your Majesty, I am incompetent and have failed to complete your mission!

"clang!!!"

But to Su Ding's surprise, Shi Wengong's halberd did not fall!

A steel spear appeared above Su Ding's head at some unknown time, blocking Shi Wengong's halberd!

"Dragon Rider, I've never heard of you before, but you're a true hero, you shouldn't die here!"

"If you can still move, step aside and let me deal with this guy before we talk."

Lu Junyi, riding a tall horse, held a spear in one hand and looked at Su Ding with an expression of admiration on his face.

While Su Ding and Shi Wengong were talking, Lu Junyi also caught up, but he hid in the woods nearby and did not show himself.

Furthermore, Shi Wengong was busy beating Su Ding, so he didn't notice that Lu Junyi had already crept over.

"Lu Junyi?! You, what are you doing here!"

Shi Wengong quickly sheathed his halberd. When did Lu Junyi arrive? How come he didn't notice him?

"Shi Wengong, I told you! You can't leave!"

Lu Junyi looked at Shi Wengong and said very seriously.

"You got away last time, that was an accident. Today, we'll settle all the scores here!"
