Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Folks, please line up. It's noon now. Let's rest for a bit, have something to eat, and then we'll go up the mountain!"

It was already noon, and the queue that was moving forward suddenly stopped.

Then, everyone saw several teams of Liangshan soldiers pushing more than a dozen carts, maintaining order while distributing food to the people.

"Come on, folks, have something to eat first! Hot steamed buns! Pickles and hot soup too! Everyone gets plenty! And eggs too! Just line up!"

The leader in charge of distributing the food was short and somewhat comical-looking, but no one laughed at him at the moment, and all the soldiers treated him with great respect.

"A leader like this exists on Liangshan?"

The two Ma brothers, both tall, immediately spotted the short leader.

"Haha, brother, you don't know this, do you? This is the head of the Liangshan kitchen, I heard he makes exceptionally good steamed buns!"

Beside the Ma brothers and their father were many other people, including a young man with his family. After hearing what the Ma brothers said, he smiled and struck up a conversation with them.

"Young man, you seem to know Liangshan very well? Could you tell me about it? My two kids and I are quite curious about Liangshan."

When Ma Taigong saw that this young man actually knew about an ordinary Liangshan leader, he must be a well-informed person. He should have a good chat with him.

"You flatter me, sir. Judging from your accent, you're not from the Shandong area."

When the young man saw that Old Master Ma was about the same age as his own father, he quickly became respectful as well.

"Yes, we came from Huaixi. Look at you, the whole family together."

"Yes, those are my parents, my sister and brother."

The young man pointed to his family next to him, and the two families greeted each other warmly.

"To be honest, this leader himself might not be that legendary, but his younger brother, whom he raised since childhood, is one of the legendary leaders of Liangshan!"

As the young man spoke, a look of longing appeared on his face.

"Oh? Tell me more about it."

Upon hearing the words "legendary leader," Ma Qiang and Ma Jin became interested.

They wanted to know, who on Liangshan could be called a legend?

"Brothers, have you heard of Captain Wu, who fought the tiger on Jingyang Ridge back then?"

"We know who Wu Song is, the drunken tiger-tamer!"

Ma Jin answered quickly, after all, Wu Song's name was also very famous in the martial arts world.

The young man chuckled and then said:

"Yes! It's Captain Wu! And this Chief Wu is Captain Wu's own brother! He raised Captain Wu from a young age and is a very kind person!"

"Is he Wu Song's older brother?"

Ma Jin glanced at Wu Da, then at his brother, which puzzled Ma Qiang greatly.

"Second brother, what do you think I can do?"

"Brother, they're brothers too, and we're brothers too. Why aren't you like their older brother?"

"You bastard, what did you say?"

Grandpa Ma slapped Ma Jin on the back, then continued speaking to the young man:

"Young man, how much do you know about Liangshan? Tell this old man everything you know. Don't pay any attention to these two fools."

"Grandpa is joking. The two brothers clearly have a very good relationship."

The young man bowed to Master Ma and then continued:

"It is said that Wu Dutou later encountered trouble in Yanggu County, and it was Chief Ren who personally led people to bring him to Liangshan. Chief Wu also came up the mountain at that time. To this day, Wu Dutou is one of the leaders of Liangshan infantry, and it seems that he is the commander of some kind of legion, with nearly two thousand men under his command!"

"My dream is that when I join Liangshan, I will become a soldier under Commander Wu. I just don't know if a hero like Commander Wu would be interested in me."

The young man seemed to greatly admire Wu Song, and his face lit up with longing when he mentioned joining Wu Song's army.

This made Ma Qiang and Ma Jin slightly resentful.

"Young man, do you know my brother?"

Just then, Wu Da arrived with a food delivery cart. Hearing the young man talking about Wu Song, Wu Da chuckled and handed over some steamed buns and pickles.

"Chief Wu! My name is Gousheng! I admire Chief Wu very much! I want to join Chief Wu's army in the future!"

Gou Sheng was very excited. After taking the steamed buns and pickles that Wu Da handed him, he didn't eat them, but instead said something to Wu Da.

"Haha, good lad, you have ambition."

Wu Da was very happy to see Gou Sheng, after all, having someone admire his younger brother was the best thing for Wu Da.

"But Gousheng, look at your family. You have a younger sister and brother, and your brother is still young. So right now, you're the most important breadwinner in the family. Don't think about joining the army yet. Just help your parents and settle things down first. We can talk about joining the army later. I have faith in you."

After seeing the situation of Gousheng's family, Wu Da patted Gousheng on the shoulder to comfort him. Then he went back to distributing food to the others.

"Brother Gousheng, it seems you won't be able to join the army for the time being."

Ma Qiang and Ma Jin ate their steamed buns while talking to Gou Sheng.

"That's right, Gousheng, why don't you join us brothers when the time comes!"

While eating his steamed bun, Ma Jin put his arm around Gou Sheng's shoulder.

“Brothers, I appreciate your kindness, but I truly want to be a soldier under Commander Wu! Besides, Commander Wu is now the commander of Liangshan. Although you two seem very powerful, you've only just joined the mountain..."

Gou Sheng looked at the Ma brothers. Although the Ma brothers did look very imposing and were not ordinary people, they had only just joined the mountain.

"Hey kid, let me tell you, my brother and I are no match for that Wu Dutou you're talking about. Here's the deal: if you join us, we'll be the commanders, and you'll be the officer!"

The Ma brothers felt that Gousheng had a bad temper with them, so now they were also getting angry and were determined to win Gousheng over!

"Crack! Crack!"

"You two rascals! What are you doing!"

Old Master Ma couldn't stand it anymore. His two brats were really disrespectful. They hadn't even gone up the mountain yet, and they were already openly challenging the legendary leader. It was no wonder they would be cursed when they went up the mountain in the future!

"Dad, why did you hit us? We had such a great time chatting with Brother Gousheng!"

The two Ma brothers had no choice but to reluctantly let go.

"That's right, Dad! We won't lose to Commander Wu! Just you wait and see! Once we get up the mountain, the two of us will become leaders in no time!"

"Who dares to be so arrogant as to claim leadership of Liangshan?"

The Ma brothers' shouting naturally attracted the attention of those around them. Jin Baozi Yang Lin happened to be nearby, and upon hearing the noise, he immediately rushed over.

The chieftain's brother put him in charge of welcoming guests from all directions. If this person is truly talented, then he should be led up the mountain!
