Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

The events in Huaixi attracted the attention of Liang Zhongshu, who was sent on behalf of the emperor to investigate.

The news quickly spread throughout the bandit community.

"Let him come! Let him come! Am I afraid of him?"

When Wang Qing heard that Cai Jing's son-in-law was coming, he felt a bit annoyed.

Back then, he and Tong Jiaoxiu were inseparable, but because Tong Jiaoxiu's husband was Cai Jing's grandson, Wang Qing was exiled!

Wang Qing held this grudge in his heart!

Now that this Liang Shijie is planning to come to Huaixi for inspection, how can I not treat him well and live up to the name of Wang Qing?

"Leader, we can't touch Liang Shijie. Cai Jing now controls a lot of power in the court. If we offend him, we'll suffer."

"Moreover, many of the Huaixi officials we bribed are Cai Jing's protégés. If we touch Liang Shijie and go too far, these people will definitely turn against us."

Li Zhu knew that Wang Qing harbored resentment towards Cai Jing, and upon learning that Liang Zhongshu was preparing to come and inspect, Li Zhu immediately went to appease Wang Qing.

"No, strategist, then, so I just kept that anger to myself all this time?"

Wang Qing was unconvinced. If Cai Jing hadn't caused trouble back then, he could have maintained that relationship with Tong Jiaoxiu, and maybe even had the Cai family raise his son!

"Alliance Leader, no matter what, you did have an affair with Cai Jing's granddaughter-in-law back then, so you're in the wrong."

Li Zhu sighed. Wang Qing was a good person, but sometimes he had a childish temper and needed to be coaxed.

"Then, Jiaoxiu and I were truly in love back then..."

Wang Qing was about to say something when Li Zhu interrupted him.

"Alliance Leader, let's not talk about this now. Don't forget, without Miss Duan, we wouldn't be in this situation now. You can say this to the old Taoist priest, but Miss Duan can't hear it."

"Sigh... I know, strategist, I... I'm just not reconciled!"

Wang Qing opened his mouth, intending to say something, but found that he seemed unable to say anything.

Indeed, Duan San Niang played an indispensable role in his rise from the master of Fangshan to the leader of the Huaixi Green Forest Alliance.

However, thinking about Tong Jiaoxiu's figure and comparing it with Duan Sanniang's figure, Wang Qing still felt somewhat unbalanced.

"How about this, Alliance Leader, Liang Shijie? We can't kill him, but this old Taoist can capture him while masked, put him in a bag, hang him up with a rope, and then you can beat him up to vent your anger, but don't kill him. I'll then send him back. What do you think?"

After thinking for a moment, Li Zhu gave Wang Qing a seemingly good option.

"Alright, alright, that's a good idea. Strategist, I'll leave it to you!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Qing thought, "Great! If we can beat up Cai Jing's son-in-law, that would be satisfying!"

I heard that Liang Zhongshu only got his high position because of his wife.

This is the kind of person Wang Qing hates the most!

What kind of person are you? Trying to be a kept man like me?

"Ah! Ahh!"

In Daming Prefecture, Liang Shijie, who was preparing after receiving the order to go on patrol, suddenly sneezed several times.

"My dear husband, please take good care of yourself on your journey. Make sure you wear plenty of warm clothes and don't catch a cold!"

Liang Zhongshu's wife felt a pang of sympathy when she saw her husband sneezing repeatedly.

"It's alright, Madam. This inspection is an opportunity given to me by my father-in-law to accumulate some merit. I'm taking Li Cheng with me this time, while Wen Da and Suo Chao will stay behind in Daming Prefecture. There won't be any problems."

Liang Shijie treats his wife quite well. Mainly, he's a gigolo, and he can't do without clinging to his wife's coattails!

“That won’t do. There are many strongmen in Huaixi. You should send Wenda with you. As for Daming Prefecture, Suo Chao and Wang Ding are enough.”

Although Madam Liang was Cai Jing's daughter, she still had genuine feelings for Liang Shijie. She was quite satisfied that she had chosen him as her husband back then.

Therefore, she values ​​safety very much.

"That won't do. We can't both be military commanders. How about this: I'll take Li Cheng and Wang Ding with me, and Wen Da and Suo Chao will stay behind, okay?"

Liang Shijie said to his wife:

"After all, Daming Prefecture is very important, and the safety of my lady is my top priority!"

"Hey, we've been married for so long, aren't you ashamed to say such things?"

"I am not ashamed. My wife is as beautiful as a flower. My lady, tonight, how about..."

"Okay, but I want to be on top."

……

"Brother, intelligence from Tokyo: because of the auspicious events in Huaixi, Cai Jing has sent his son-in-law Liang Shijie to Huaixi to inspect on behalf of the emperor."

At the Liangshan strategist's office, Ma Ling was reporting the latest situation to Ren Yuan and others.

The Sky Curtain Legion has been extremely busy these past few days. They have to keep an eye on the battle between Tian Hu and the imperial court in the north, gather intelligence on Huaixi, and be wary of any possible small moves by Fang La.

Fortunately, after Lu Junyi went up the mountain, Ren Yuan got Yan Qing from him and let Yan Qing join the Sky Curtain Legion, which greatly reduced the pressure on Shi Qian and Ma Ling.

After all, these two guys were fine with gathering information themselves, but when it came to doing written work like compiling and analyzing data, they weren't as meticulous as Yan Qing.

This time, the processing, summarization, and analysis of the three-way intelligence were all handled personally by Yan Qing at the headquarters of the Sky Curtain Legion. Shi Qian and Ma Ling only needed to lead their teams out to gather information!

"How many people did Liang Shijie take with him to Huaixi this time?"

When Ren Yuan heard that Liang Zhongshu was going to make an imperial tour, his first reaction was to ask about the number of people accompanying him.

"Ten thousand elite troops were dispatched from Tokyo, led by Zhou Ang, the deputy chief instructor of the 800,000 Imperial Guards, to protect Liang Shijie's safety on Cai Jing's orders. Liang Shijie himself also led Li Cheng, the military commander of Daming Prefecture, and Wang Ding, the cavalry commander of Daming Prefecture, along with fifteen thousand elite troops as his guards."

"Thirty thousand elite troops, plus a deputy chief instructor of the Imperial Guard? This time, Liang Shijie's actions are quite a big commotion!"

Zhu Wu raised an eyebrow.

"I'm not stupid. If we set off with 30,000 elite troops, we can escape if we encounter any trouble in Huaixi and can't win. If we can win a few battles, we can also gain merit."

Xu Guanzhong was from Daming Prefecture, and he looked down on Liang Shijie.

"Old Xu, you said Liang Shijie took away 15,000 elite soldiers from Daming Prefecture, along with Li Cheng and Wang Ding. How many people are left in Daming Prefecture?"

Xiao Jiahui suddenly looked at Xu Guanzhong.

"Daming Prefecture has a total of 40,000 people, but only about 20,000 are elite troops... Are you planning to take advantage of the chaos?"

Xu Guanzhong looked at Xiao Jiasui. These two were now incredibly in sync; they understood each other without even needing to say it out loud.

"Guan Zhong understands me best!"

Xiao Jiahui smiled slightly, turned to Ren Yuan and said:

“Brother, since Liang Shijie left Daming Prefecture for the sake of empty fame and ignored the local people, shouldn’t we, as good neighbors, take care of the people of Daming Prefecture on his behalf?”

"The way you're talking makes it sound like we're planning something bad."

Ren Yuan also understood Xiao Jiahui's plan.

"Brother, what are you saying? We accidentally lost something in Daming Prefecture last time, and this time we're just going to retrieve it!"

"Daming Prefecture, we're back!"
