Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

Ren Yuan and his two companions rode into the village.

Wu Yong gave the gatekeeper a look, and although the gatekeeper was also afraid of the aura of Ren Yuan and his two companions, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward.

"clang!"

The two gatekeepers crossed their sticks, blocking Ren Yuan and his group's path.

"What are you doing?"

Ren Yuan reined in his horse and asked in a calm voice.

“Three distinguished guests, please dismount. Riding is not permitted within the estate.”

"What the hell? Dismount?"

Mi Sheng's fiery temper flared up instantly.

He stepped forward, carrying a large axe, and looked down at them, asking:

"What do you mean? You want to bully my brother? Do you believe I'll chop this whole manor down with one axe!"

The gatekeepers were inwardly groaning, but there was nothing they could do. Wu Xuejiu had given a strict order to dampen the spirits of the Liangshan forces right at the gate.

“Mi Sheng, you must not be rude. We Liangshan people are polite. We cannot be like some trash.”

Ren Yuan stopped Mi Sheng and looked up at Chao Gai and the others:

"Lord, is it really true that we can't ride horses in your village?"

"Yes, I forgot to mention. Please dismount and walk."

Chao Gai didn't back down. At this moment, he decisively chose to confront Ren Yuan head-on!

What if I don't play?

But Ren Yuan's next words immediately made the atmosphere tense!

"If I don't surrender, what will you do?"

As Ren Yuan spoke, he raised the three-pointed double-edged sword in his hand. The sunlight shone on the blade, making it gleam with a dazzling silver light! It was so bright that people couldn't even open their eyes!

"What are you going to do?!"

Ren Yuan roared again, his power unmatched. The few villagers blocking his way could no longer hold on, their legs buckled, and they collapsed to the ground.

"Sir, we've miscalculated. What should we do?"

Chao Gai was also somewhat at a loss; the current situation was not what they had imagined!

According to Wu Yong's speculation, shouldn't Ren Yuan obediently dismount at this moment?

"I don't know... I miscalculated."

Wu Yong's face was also ashen. He had been used to things going smoothly lately, and he never expected that someone would be so disrespectful!

Ren Yuan is indeed a formidable enemy! He must be eliminated as soon as possible!

"Should we let him in? Only if he's in can we carry out our next plan."

Chao Gai was also not happy, because his servants were now sitting in front of Ren Yuan in a sorry state, which was a slap in Chao Gai's face!

"Alright, let him be smug for a while!"

Wu Yong had no choice but to agree.

"Chief Ren is an honored guest. How can we let such an honored guest dismount? Please, the three of you, come on over!"

"That must be Wu Yong."

Ren Yuan certainly saw the scholar-like man next to Chao Gai, so who else could it be but Wu Yong?

It's a pity he's only half-baked; otherwise, we could have taken him up the mountain to teach the illiterate leaders to read.

"No, thank you! The guest is the guest! We'll let the host make the arrangements!"

Ren Yuan rejected Wu Yong's proposal.

"You all don't know this! Liangshan is the most law-abiding! Since the Heavenly King and the servants just said that we must dismount before entering the manor, then we will! Brothers, I was just confirming with you, why are you all falling down?"

Ren Yuan looked around and spoke loudly, finally fixing his gaze on the fallen servants.

"I...I'll wait..."

The villagers naturally dared not speak to a fierce man like Ren Yuan.

You're really following the rules! You got off your horse not long ago and everything's fine now?

"Oh, your legs are numb, aren't they? Heavenly King, the farmhands are people too, they have families! You can't let them overwork themselves and lose their lives in vain!"

Ren Yuan shouted at Chao Gai again.

"I think these guys are pretty good. Even with their legs numb, they're still so dedicated to their duties. How about this, I'll reward them with some silver on your behalf, Your Majesty. You won't object, will you?"

"Master, give them twenty taels of silver and let a few of my brothers get their legs treated for numbness! To calm their nerves!"

Because Ren Yuan focused his energy in his dantian, his voice was so loud that all the servants at the gate heard him.

Did I hear that right? Twenty taels!

His master, Chao Gai, had never rewarded his servants like this before!

Those few people just went to block the road, slumped down for a moment, and were actually rewarded with twenty taels of silver!

That's too easy! I could do it too!

"Okay brother."

Guanghui naturally wouldn't object; he could see that his brother was trying to kill him by destroying his spirit.

"Take them all. Your diligence is truly admirable!"

So he didn't mind adding fuel to the fire! He took out a twenty-tael silver ingot from his pocket and threw it directly in front of the few slumped farmhands.

Although the villagers had been paralyzed just moments before, the sight of the silver seemed to instantly give them strength. Several of them struggled to their feet, picked up the silver, bowed to the Liangshan trio, and quickly hid to the side to divide the silver among themselves.

Although Mi Sheng didn't quite understand the operation, he had already made it clear before coming that he should speak less, ask fewer questions, and just listen to his brother.

Besides, Mi Sheng also found what happened just now quite amusing.

"dismount!"

At Ren Yuan's command, the three men dismounted. He looked around and pointed to another farmhand.

"Hey you, come here and keep an eye on the horse for me. If you do a good job, this ten taels of silver is yours!"

After saying that, Ren Yuan took out ten taels of silver from his money bag and tossed it to the farmhand he had named.

"Ah, my lord, I will certainly take good care of your horse."

The farmhand who was called out felt overjoyed. He hurriedly stuffed the silver into his pocket and then happily came over to lead the horse.

What? The lord is blaming me? I earned the horse and the money through my own skill, what's there for him to blame? If he blames me, humph, then I'll join the Liangshan bandits!

Liangshan is so generous!

Ren Yuan patted the man's shoulder lightly, then said nothing and led his two brothers inside. Chao Gai and Wu Yong also quickly came down from the gate.

The five met in the manor. Although Chao Gai's expression was somewhat unpleasant, he still greeted Ren Yuan politely with a smile.

Wu Yong led the way, feeling he had made a mistake today. He realized as they approached that these three Liangshan men were all experts! He should arrange for more men later.

"Scholar, speak up! What are you thinking about? Why aren't you saying a word? Are you disrespecting me?"

Ren Yuan shouted at Wu Yong's back.

"Chief, please forgive me. I was thinking about the banquet later and my mind wandered for a moment."

Wu Yong quickly put on an apologetic gesture, but inwardly he was cursing:

"Damn it! Ren Yuan! You just wait! Once you get into that circle, you'll see how I deal with you!"

"Oh, I thought the scholar was plotting how to manipulate us, Mi Sheng, Master. It seems I was overthinking it! Hahahaha! I knew it, the scholar isn't that kind of person! Trying to manipulate others on the first meeting, is that even human? You agree, scholar?"

Mi Sheng and Guang Hui also burst into laughter. Wu Yong, being teased by Ren Yuan, didn't know what to say and could only force a smile.

And so, the group arrived at the banquet hall, but just as they were about to step inside, another unexpected event occurred.

Lei Heng, disguised as the butler, blocked Ren Yuan and the others' path.

"Distinguished guests, the banquet is about to begin. It is really inconvenient to bring weapons into the banquet hall. Why don't you three give me your weapons first?"

"And who are you? How dare you try to take our weapons!"

Mi Sheng got angry and slammed his big axe heavily on the ground. What was he trying to do? Why didn't he just start a fight?

"绻貹."

Ren Yuan stopped Mi Sheng and looked at the farmhand in front of him.

Hmm... This is no ordinary person. No wonder he dared to stand up. It seems that Chao Gai's manor isn't entirely full of useless people.

"You want to take my weapon?"

Ren Yuan looked at the man with amusement.

"Indeed, please give me your weapon."

Lei Heng was also furious, but for the sake of the bigger picture, he could only lower his head and suppress his anger, trying his best not to let his expression show.

Do you know how heavy my weapon is? Can you even lift it?

Ren Yuan smiled slightly. There really were some reckless fools in Chao Gai's mansion who weren't afraid of death!

"You jest, sir. What could I possibly not be able to lift, weighing forty or fifty pounds? Please, sir, give me your weapon!"

Lei Heng felt underestimated. His nickname was "Winged Tiger," and people said he had considerable arm strength! How could he not be able to lift a weapon!

"Okay, catch it carefully, don't drop it."

This time, Ren Yuan didn't say much. He held the three-pointed knife horizontally and then threw it forcefully. The three-pointed knife flew straight towards the man!

At such close range, there's no way to avoid it!

"Well done..."

Lei Heng shouted and reached out to catch the three-pointed knife, but the moment his hands touched the knife, Lei Heng's expression changed instantly!

The 81-pound three-pointed knife, combined with the impact of Ren Yuan's forceful throw, was something Lei Heng simply couldn't withstand!

Damn it! I was careless! I can't catch that knife!
