Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

“You’re not really coming up the mountain, you’re just here to have fun, so you should at least get a spot.”

Ren Yuan was caught off guard. This young lady was quite quirky and unpredictable; he found it hard to handle her.

"No way! Everyone here has a seat except me! People will laugh at me if word gets out! I'm the Flower Hero, you know!"

Hua Yun clenched her fists and put her hands on her hips, her chubby cheeks puffed out, looking at Ren Yuan with an expression that said, "I'm very angry."

Ren Yuan was helpless. "Ah... no, if your brother Hua Rong comes, it's normal for me to give him a place, but you... you're just messing around."

Besides, your brother is a better archer than me. If I give you a position, and your brother finds out, won't he be shooting arrows at me every day?

We dare not provoke the number one archer of the Song Dynasty.

Just as Ren Yuan was feeling troubled, he suddenly realized that Hua Yun had appeared in front of him without him even noticing! And no one around was stopping her!

Wait a minute! You promised to protect me! Why didn't any of you come up and stop this girl?

Zhu Wu? Yuan Lang? Sun An?

What are you all doing?

There's an assassin!

"Ahem, brother, now that the seating arrangement has been made, we'll take our leave. The mountain stronghold is busy, and it's necessary to take over as soon as possible."

Zhu Wu lowered his head, refusing to look at Ren Yuan, and led the way out, shrugging his shoulders as he walked.

"Yes, yes, brother, I also need to hurry up and hand over the reins to the strategist."

Yuan Lang also took off running.

"Brother, you must be tired from your journey. Take a rest for now. Leave the affairs of the mountain stronghold to us."

Sun An also turned and left!

"Amitabha, brother, this humble monk will also take his leave."

Guanghui chanted a Buddhist prayer once and then left!

The remaining people, seeing that the highest-ranking members had all left, exchanged glances and then immediately walked away arm in arm!

It felt as if Ren Yuan wasn't their chieftain at all.

"Hey! Are you just going to leave like that? This concerns the succession of a key position! Aren't you going to stay and listen?"

Ren Yuan was dumbfounded. What happened to loyalty? What happened to loyalty?

Isn't this room called the Hall of Gathering Righteousness? Look up and see if it lives up to that name!

"Brother is the chieftain~ And since we've said that there's no order to our seating arrangement~ then brother can decide for himself~"

Zhu Wu's voice drifted in from afar, and it was hard not to detect the inexplicable joy in his words.

"Hey, strategist, you still haven't told me why you gave me that look earlier, signaling me to come out."

“Mìshān, shut up. This thing cannot be said, cannot be said.”

……

So, in the Hall of Gathering Righteousness, only Ren Yuan and Hua Yun remained. Oh, and there seemed to be a Pan Jinlian in the corner as well.

Pan Jinlian covered her mouth and chuckled to herself. Having been a maid for so long, she was certainly perceptive.

Her adopted sister, whom she had only recently recognized and who had saved her life, was now having designs on Chief Ren, who had also saved her life.

As the old saying goes, a woman should never be curious about a man, or it will be the beginning of her downfall.

"Miss Pan, are you hungry? Come, let me take you to the kitchen."

At the entrance of the Hall of Gathering Righteousness, a head peeked out; it was none other than Shi Qian.

"Okay, thank you for your help, leader."

Upon hearing this, Pan Jinlian covered her mouth and followed her out.

"Sister, Chief Ren, please take your time talking."

"Young Miss, if you want a seat, how about I, Shi Qian, give you mine?"

Before leaving, Shi Qian smiled and said to Hua Yun.

"No way! You earned your spot yourself, I can't take it from you. I want him to give it to you. You take Jinlian to get something to eat first, don't bully her!"

Hua Yun did not agree to Shi Qian's request. She was not the kind of person who would act without thinking. Moreover, as the person who helped her deliver the letter to her brother Hua Rong, Hua Yun also had a good impression of Shi Qian.

After all, when Shi Qian rushed back, he looked quite disheveled.

So she continued to try to get a leadership position on her own, just like Ren Yuanmo.

Because her intuition told her that staying in Liangshan would be more fun than venturing into the martial world!

Shi Qian obeys.

Shi Qian made a quick escape; he led Pan Jinlian away and vanished without a trace.

"Hmph, Brother Ren! Are you going to give me a seat or not? If you don't, I'll..."

Seeing that the entire gathering hall was empty, Hua Yun glared at Ren Yuan again, her cute cheeks puffed up like an angry little pufferfish.

"Young Miss, I'm scared of you, okay? Here, here, here."

Ren Yuan surrendered, not because he lacked resistance, but because a beautiful woman was acting cute and coquettish in front of him. Who could resist that?

Moreover, this beautiful woman is also quite skilled in martial arts. Ren Yuan is afraid that if he doesn't agree, he will get beaten up later.

Most importantly, this beautiful woman's brother is incredibly skilled—the number one archer in the Song Dynasty! He's someone you can't afford to mess with.

"Really? Aren't you afraid people will say you're unfair in rewarding and punishing people?"

Hua Yun was somewhat surprised. She had been thinking that if Ren Yuan continued to refuse, she would use different tactics to deal with him. However, she did not expect that Ren Yuan would surrender so quickly.

"I joined Liangshan voluntarily, and you saved Jinlian because of your chivalrous code. What do you call that? That's called helping those in need! That's definitely the behavior of a true hero!"

"With a hero like Master Hua joining us, it is a great blessing for Liangshan! Master Hua, I have long admired your name and admired you for a long time. Come, please take a seat!"

Ren Yuan was initially quite serious, but then for some reason, he started rambling on and on, and finally even stood up and gave up his seat.

He didn't know why, but he just felt that this girl was nice and wanted to tease her.

Yes, she's quite good-looking, has a good figure, comes from a good family, and is good at martial arts.

At least in archery, he's definitely not bad.

"Ren Yuan! How dare you make fun of me! I'll beat you to a pulp!"

At first, Hua Yun thought it made sense, but the more she listened, the more something seemed off. Then, seeing Ren Yuan's actions and the indescribable feeling on his face, she immediately realized that this big guy was actually fooling her.

You, Ren Yuan, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes like you! How could you tease a young girl like that!

Find a fight!

"Hey, hey... let's talk this out. I'm telling you, don't hit me. A gentleman uses words, not fists! Do you hear me?"

"A gentleman uses words, not fists, but I am just a woman!"

Ren Yuan, of course, dared not retaliate, and immediately used the ultimate Warring States technique—the King of Qin circling the pillar!

Hua Yun wasn't about to let him get away, so she chased after him, waving her little fists.

The chase between the two was quite entertaining.

You know what, the movements practiced by the Hua family are quite beautiful, they look like dancing, and they're actually quite fast. In this Hall of Gathering Righteousness, which has a lot of furniture (chairs), Ren Yuan is really not as fast as them!

Sure enough, he gets caught up every now and then and gets hit a couple of times.

Left with no other option, he tried to jump out of the window, but as soon as he opened it, before he could even jump, he froze in shock.

"Hey? Why aren't you running anymore?"

Hua Yun found it strange. She caught up with Ren Yuan and curiously punched him on the back. Then she peeked out and was dumbfounded.

Outside the window, all the leaders who had just left the Hall of Righteousness, including Pan Jinlian, were there!

This behavior is commonly known as eavesdropping, and its formal name is listening to the wall.

What's even more outrageous is that each of them was holding a watermelon! Shi Qian was even leading the way in distributing the watermelons!

"What are you...doing?"

Ren Yuan grinned, somewhat incredulous.

Because Zhu Wu, Yuan Lang, and Sun An were the three people closest to the window!

"Brother! We're eating watermelon! The strategist said it's too hot in summer! Eating watermelon cools us down!"

"That idiot Mi Sheng, holding a watermelon in his hand, shouted loudly!"

"Oh dear, why did we suddenly walk back to the Hall of Righteousness? No, no, let's go, let's go to the Three Passes. We agreed to take a look at the fortifications."

Zhu Wu slapped his forehead, feigning annoyance, and then led the way to slip away again.

The others followed Zhu Wu and quickly retreated.

Ren Yuan watched them slowly disappear at the end of the path, and then he heard their loud laughter coming from the wind.

Holy crap... I feel like I've fallen into a den of thieves!

>(￣▽￣=￣︿￣)<

Ren Yuan sighed in exasperation.

"Hey, everyone's gone! They're really gone this time! Tell me, what kind of seat will you give me?"

This time, Hua Yun slipped outside first, looked around, and only returned to ask Ren Yuan after confirming that no one was there.

Ren Yuan looked at Hua Yun and asked, "What kind of seat do you want?"

"Is there a position where I don't usually have to manage things but still get a salary, don't have much real power but can get people to listen to me when necessary, and can do whatever I want without anyone bothering me?"

"Young lady, go to a temple to make a wish, don't come here..."

"Brother Ren! Speak properly!"

"That's the chieftain..."

"Brother! Brother!"

Ren Yuan was interrupted again before he could finish speaking!

So much so that Hua Yun didn't hear what else was written after the name of the chieftain.

But after hearing the sound, she immediately stood obediently next to Ren Yuan, and it was impossible to tell what she had just done.

"Shi Qian? What's the matter?"

It was Shi Qian who came in.

"Oh, I just wanted to confirm with my brother that your brother's... cough cough, Miss Hua's brother, Magistrate Hua Rong, said he was coming to Liangshan to visit. Does your brother know about this?"

"Oh, I know Hua Rong is coming. You mentioned it on the way back. When exactly?"

"The hotel where Brother Zhu Gui is staying just received a letter. According to the timeline, it should arrive in ten days."

Shi Qian handed over a letter with a grin.

Hmm? Hua Rong is coming?

"What are you laughing at?"

Ren Yuan asked.

"I'm not laughing."

You clearly smiled!

"No, brother, I'm leaving now, you two can continue your conversation!"
