Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Brother Han?"

When Yang Wen saw Han Cunbao's gaze, he was taken aback.

Then he quickly realized what was going on.

Yes, Han Cunbao, he's different from others.

The other military governors were all outlaws, but Han Cunbao was not.

Moreover, Han Cunbao has very strong connections in the imperial court!

Therefore, it was absolutely impossible for Han Cunbao to surrender. However, if he did not surrender, being imprisoned or killed by Ren Yuan would obviously damage the reputation of the Han family.

Therefore, Han Cunbao intended for him to take him away.

But... I can walk because of Yang Zhi, what about Han Cunbao?

"Yang Jiedu, you still haven't answered me. Tell me, if you go back like this and Zhao Ji becomes enraged and demands your life, what will you do?"

But just as Yang Wen was thinking at high speed, Ren Yuan suddenly delivered a sentence "just in time".

"Then I'll give away all my wealth, and at worst I'll resign and stop being the military governor."

Yang Wen thought for a moment and then shared his thoughts.

“Yang Jiedu, I must remind you, we are currently arresting Gao Qiu, and he is unlikely to escape. However, he is the Emperor’s confidant, and if you go back alone, you will likely face great wrath from the Emperor and find it difficult to leave unscathed.”

"After all, nine military governors, three instructors, and one supervisor came, but only you went back. It really doesn't make sense!"

At this moment, Xiao Jiahui added a sentence.

"This... strategist, you're absolutely right. So, what should I do?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Wen exclaimed, "Hmm, that makes sense!"

On Liangshan Mountain, there's actually such a clever strategist! No wonder they suffered such a crushing defeat this time!

Xiao Jiahui gestured to Yang Wen with her eyes:

The one pulling you from behind, take him with you!

"Brother Yang, Brother Yang!"

In his haste, Yang Wen didn't understand Xiao Jiasui's gaze, but Han Cunbao seemed to have figured it out. He tugged at Yang Wen again and then stood behind him.

"Brother Yang, take me with you!"

"Brother Han? You?"

Yang Wen was somewhat surprised that Han Cunbao would take the initiative to come to him.

"Brother Yang, you know about my family's situation."

Han Cunbao quickly said to Yang Wen:

"If I go back with you, the Emperor certainly won't say anything."

Hmm, you know what, that makes some sense.

Yang Wen thought about it and realized that if Han Cunbao went back with him, the officials would have to consider the Han family's situation before they could cause trouble.

The pressure on my side...

"Hehe, Han boy, what are you doing? Do you see that Yang boy can walk now and want to come along with him?"

At this moment, Xu Jing stepped forward, looked at Han Cunbao, and said:

"You are a staunch loyalist to the court, that's fine, but that young man from the Yang family was able to leave because of Yang Zhi. What about you? What gives you the right?"

"Moreover, your family is influential in the imperial court. You might be fine if you go back, but what about the Yang family boy?"

"Hmph, Senior Xu, Brother Yang and I are bosom friends. If I go back with him, I will definitely use my family's connections to protect him!"

Han Cunbao's thoughts were exposed by Xu Jing, but he only blushed slightly and then generously expressed his own thoughts.

"Wait a minute? Commander Han, when did I say you could leave?"

Ren Yuan spoke with a puzzled look on his face.

“Brother, didn’t we promise Brother Yang Zhi that we would release Yang Jiedu? But brother, we have to be responsible to Brother Yang Zhi. If we release Yang Jiedu and he gets killed by that official, wouldn’t we have done something wrong with good intentions?”

Xu Guanzhong then stepped forward and said to Ren Yuan with a smile.

"So I think it's not good to let Yang Jiedu go back alone. This Han Jiedu has an amazing background. Why don't we release him together, brother?"

"At worst, Lao Xiao and I will go to the military law department together and get beaten with sticks."

"Yang Jiedushi, what do you mean?"

Ren Yuan thought for a moment and then asked Yang Wen with a "sincere" expression.

"Brother Yang, listen to me. We're on the same side now. I'll give you an explanation. When we go back this time, we'll stand together through thick and thin! If I'm still the military governor, you're still the military governor! If I'm the defense commissioner, you're still the defense commissioner! If the authorities want to kill you, then I'll die with you!"

Before Yang Wen could answer, Han Cunbao took the initiative to state his conditions to Yang Wen.

His words were so earnest!

Yang Wen was tempted.

If that's the case, then that's really great!

With the Han family's power, they could indeed protect Yang Wen; Han Cunbao was not lying about this.

Moreover, Han Cunbao is a man of his word; you can trust what he says.

"Chief Ren, if possible, I hope you can let Han Jiedu leave with me."

Thinking of this, Yang Wen also pleaded with Ren Yuan.

"Tsk tsk, you two, you've got a really good plan!"

Looking at the two of them, Zhang Kai made a mocking sound.

"Old Zhang, say less. Those two are different from us."

Mei Zhan gently nudged Zhang Kai's shoulder. Zhang Kai wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he shut up.

"What if I say no?"

Ren Yuan looked at the two of them, his expression unreadable.

"Although you haven't caused any real impact on Liangshan, you are still our prisoners. Are you trying to bargain with me now?"

"Don't push your luck! What good will it do me to let you go?"

"Brother, this is also for the sake of Brother Yang Zhi."

“That’s right, brother. These two military governors are definitely not on our side. You can’t force them to stay. We can do them a favor.”

Hearing Ren Yuan's words, which seemed to indicate some anger, Xu Guanzhong and Xiao Jiasui immediately came up to persuade him.

This puzzled Xu Jing. Wait a minute, kid Ren, this isn't like you!

"Chief Ren, you have done me a great favor this time, and I will never forget your kindness. Without violating any moral principles, I am willing to do something for you!"

"me too."

Yang Wen and Han Cunbao thought for a moment, and the two of them made a promise at the same time.

"Are you willing to do things for me?"

Ren Yuan asked, "Somewhat incredulously."

"Yes, as long as it doesn't violate morality."

Yang Wen and Han Cunbao said firmly.

"Well... alright then, I'll give Yang Zhi some face, and also give face to the two strategists. Commander Yang, Commander Han, could you help me bring someone back to the capital?"

Ren Yuan thought about it for a while, and then, as if he had finally thought of something, he agreed.

"I wonder who Chief Ren intends to bring along?"

Yang Wen and Han Cunbao exchanged glances, and finally Yang Wen came up to ask a question.

"You don't need to know that. Just one question: can I bring people?"

Ren Yuan didn't tell them who this person was, he just asked if they could bring him along!

"...If it's just one person, yes."

Yang Wen thought for a moment, then looked at Han Cunbao. After exchanging glances, the two decided to accept Ren Yuan's condition.

"Alright, it's settled then. Guanzhong, take the two military governors out, and while you're at it, bring that person with you."

Ren Yuan gestured to Xu Guanzhong to take the two men out.

Xu Guanzhong accepted the order and walked up to the two men:

"Yang Jiedu, Han Jiedu, please follow me."

After the three of them left, surrounded by Liangshan soldiers, and were no longer in sight, Xiao Jiahui suddenly couldn't help but laugh:

"Haha, brother, the silly look you made just now really didn't seem like an act."

Ren Yuan gently slapped Xiao Jiahui on the back.

"Don't think I didn't realize you were insulting me."

"Ren boy, what are you doing?"

Xu Jing was somewhat puzzled as to why Ren Yuan had released Yang Wen and Han Cunbao so readily.

"Senior Xu, I have a gift to give to that official. Fortunately, these two military governors can deliver it to me."

Ren Yuan looked at Xu Jing and said with a smile, his expression changing from the strange one he had just shown.

"Well, so you managed to outmaneuver both of them?"

Xu Jing also realized why Ren Yuan had seemed so strange earlier!

"I really wanted to release Commander Yang, but as for Commander Han... hehe, senior, you know what I mean..."
