Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

When Li Cheng, wounded, rushed back to Daming Prefecture, the entire prefecture was still in chaos.

After finally reuniting with Suo Chao, Li Cheng realized that he was actually quite lucky; Wen Da had disappeared!

"Li Cheng, what's going on outside the city?"

After Liang Zhongshu and Suo Chao reunited, his sense of security was greatly enhanced, and he suddenly felt capable again.

"My lord, Tian Hu's troops from Hebei have launched a surprise attack on us! They outnumber us, and I was caught off guard!"

"Tian Hu?"

Suo Chao was taken aback after hearing this.

How could it be Tian Hu? Wasn't Lu Junyi supposed to have a good relationship with Liangshan?

"Tian Hu? That's the strongman from Hebei?"

Liang Zhongshu knew of Tian Hu's reputation; this guy was currently sweeping across four prefectures in Hebei and was extremely arrogant!

"Yes, it's him! The bandit general who ambushed me outside the city kept shouting 'King Tian Hu'."

Li Cheng naturally had to pin the blame on Tian Hu; otherwise, he would be held accountable.

If you push the blame onto Tian Hu, then you can claim you were ambushed!

"Hmph, this kind of tyrant is incredibly audacious. Not only is he causing trouble inside the city, but he's also launching a sneak attack on our garrison outside! Li Cheng, don't worry, I'll write to the court later and have someone come and wipe out Tian Hu!"

Liang Zhongshu was furious today. He had painstakingly organized a grand birthday celebration for his wife, only to have it turned into a complete mess, with even his private treasury, Cuiyun Tower, catching fire!

Tian Hu, I'll never forgive you!

"My lord! My lord! Our yamen prison has been broken into!"

At this moment, the yamen runners who were left behind finally arrived to deliver the news.

"What?! Our prison has been broken into?! Tian Hu, you bastard!"

Liang Zhongshu was furious. What was this all about? This was a slap in the face to Liang Zhongshu!

Disrupting the grand land and water festival is one crime; launching a sneak attack on Li Cheng outside the city is another; and now he's even breaking into prison! All three crimes must be punished! This time, if we don't teach Tian Hu a lesson, he's not a Liang!

How many prisoners escaped?

Liang Zhongshu asked the yamen runner.

"Cai Jieji said that it seems the people who came only released Lu Junyi and related personnel, while the other serious criminals are still here."

Upon hearing the constable's reply, Suo Chao immediately fell silent.

He is now certain that the people who broke into the prison have nothing to do with Tian Hu.

Because no one in the martial arts world had ever heard of any relationship between Tian Hu and Lu Junyi.

However, Lu Junyi was framed and imprisoned by Li Gu this time for allegedly colluding with Liangshan!

Therefore, Suo Chao is now very certain that Brother Wu must be a member of Liangshan!

If only Lu Junyi was rescued and no one else was harmed, then the group that broke into the prison must be from Liangshan!

But Suo Chao couldn't say it, because if he did, Liang Zhongshu would definitely ask about Brother Wu's situation, and then it would be found out that he had taken Brother Wu to prison, and he would definitely be the one to take the blame!

So... it's fine to let Tian Hu take the blame!

Why was only Lu Junyi released?

Liang Zhongshu was not a fool. After hearing about this, he clearly felt that something was amiss.

"My lord, could it be that Tian Hu wants to recruit Lu Junyi?"

At this point, Suo Chao shared his thoughts with Liang Zhongshu.

Since we're going to shift all the blame onto Tian Hu anyway, let's just do it cleanly!

"Tian Hu persuaded Lu Junyi to surrender?"

Liang Zhongshu looked at Suo Chao with some surprise. When did Suo Chao start using his brain?

"My lord, in the current state of the Song Dynasty, although Tian Hu has occupied many prefectures and counties, he does not have many good men under his command. Therefore, it is estimated that he wants to recruit Lu Junyi to his own cause."

"He made such a big commotion this time, rescuing Lu Junyi. According to the rules of the martial arts world, Lu Junyi owes him a life and has to repay him. The best way to repay him is naturally to join Tian Hu's ranks."

Suo Chao was talking nonsense with a straight face.

"That makes sense. I haven't really heard much about Tian Hu's men."

Upon hearing this, Liang Zhongshu stroked his beard. If that were the case, it would indeed make sense.

Liang Zhongshu had heard of Tian Hu, after all, he lived very close by, and he had a general idea of ​​whether Tian Hu had any capable fighters under his command.

"But why not Liangshan?"

Liang Zhongshu was somewhat puzzled.

"After all, according to that kid Li Gu, Lu Junyi joined Liangshan, so his relationship with Liangshan should be closer. Why did Tian Hu send people, but Liangshan didn't?"

After hearing this, Li Cheng, enduring his pain, stepped forward and said to Liang Zhongshu:

"My lord, I think this problem can be explained, and in fact, it makes more sense now! Because the relationship between Liangshan and Tian Hu is very bad!"

"Last year, Tian Hu organized some kind of 'Lulin Conference,' but at that conference, Liangshan and Tian Hu formed a major feud, and from then on, these two major bandit forces have been enemies."

"If Lu Junyi was indeed kidnapped by Tian Hu this time, then it must have been Tian Hu's deliberate act to provoke Liangshan! Tian Hu might even have used Lu Junyi as bait to lure Liangshan there and then lay an ambush!"

"Commander Li is right! That's what I think too!"

Upon hearing Li Cheng's extensive analysis, Suo Chao immediately clapped and agreed!

Li, the military commander, is absolutely right! That's exactly it!

Upon hearing Li Cheng's words, Liang Zhongshu suddenly thought, "Hmm, that makes sense!"

So it seems very likely that it was Tian Hu's people who came to cause trouble this time!

"Wen Da must have fallen into their hands as well. Li Cheng, Suo Chao, you two take stock of the losses this time. We'll petition the court directly and ask them to avenge us!"

"That damned Tian Hu, if we don't teach him a lesson, will he really think he's invincible in Hebei?"

Liang Zhongshu was furious. Li Cheng and Suo Chao quickly nodded and bowed, indicating that they understood and asked the lord to calm down.

……

"Ouch, that hurts! Where am I?"

Wen Da felt as if he had been tossed around the whole way, constantly being thrown up and then caught. This up-and-down experience made his already aching head ache even more!

"Supervisor Wen, you're awake!"

As soon as he opened his eyes, three large monks' faces appeared in Wen Da's field of vision, which made Wen Da quickly close his eyes again!

Holy crap, I must be hallucinating, how can there be so many monks!

"Supervisor Wen, you're all smart men, so stop pretending. You're awake, that's all. What's the point of pretending?"

Guanghui looked at Wenda, who had closed his eyes again, and said with a smile.

"Three masters, you know who I am, yet you still dare to arrest me. You really have nothing to fear!"

Wen Da could no longer pretend and had to open his eyes.

"Supervisor Wen, you're wronging us. We originally wanted to run away, but you insisted on leading a bunch of people to chase after us, and that's how we caught you, isn't that right?"

Lu Zhishen also said with a smile.

"If you hadn't pursued it back then, none of this would have happened!"

"Alright, I admit defeat. But I wonder if the three masters could tell me, who is it that made Wen Da lose?"

"No problem, I am Guanghui from Liangshan."

"Lu Zhishen of Liangshan".

"Deng Yuanjue of Liangshan".

The three monks each announced their names.

"I am Shi Qian from Liangshan. Commander Wen, you must come with us!"

Shi Qian also lifted the curtain and poked his head in to speak.

"You, you are all from Liangshan?"

Wen Da was dumbfounded. Had he fallen into a trap?
