Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

Liangshan.

"Chief Shi is back!"

After a day and a night of rapid travel, Shi Qian finally made it back to Liangshan!

Upon returning to Liangshan, Shi Qian went straight to the Hall of Gathering Righteousness, knowing that Ren Yuan was also waiting for him there.

"Brother, I'm back."

Upon entering the Hall of Gathering Righteousness, Shi Qian discovered that not only Ren Yuan, but also another person was present.

Chai Jin, also known as Chai Da Guanren.

"Brother, you've worked hard. How did it go this time?"

When Ren Yuan saw Shi Qian, he immediately stood up, pulled up a chair for him to sit down, and personally poured him a cup of tea and handed it to him.

"Thank you, brother. Don't worry, everything is going smoothly."

Shi Qian took the tea and gulped it down in one go.

"Brother Shiqian, you've worked hard. I heard from your brother that you went to the palace this time?"

Chai Jin was summoned by Ren Yuan because Ren Yuan estimated that Shi Qian would be returning soon, so he specifically called him over.

Chai Jin was somewhat surprised that Shi Qian had gone to the palace this time.

In his view, although Shi Qian was known as the number one thief in the world, the Song Dynasty capital was obviously not a place that could be entered and exited so easily.

"Yeah, thanks to that kid Du Fei. He's really good at pretending to be on a high embankment now, and he even provided me with a topographical map. Otherwise, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly."

Gao Qiu is already dead, and Zhen Gao Kan has been a human pig on Liangshan for so many years, so there is naturally no need for him to live anymore. Now their two remains are with Tang Long, waiting to be forged into iron statues.

For Chai Jin, this feud was almost over.

Although Gao Qiu didn't personally beat him while he was alive, once this iron statue was built, he could beat him however he wanted!

"Shi Qian, you guys in Shadow are pretty good. This Du Fei used to be Gao Kan's lackey, right? Now, after all these years of you turning him around, he's become a very loyal Shadow spy."

Chai Jin gave Shi Qian a thumbs up.

"Hehe, my lord, don't flatter me. It's all thanks to my brother's excellent leadership. If it weren't for him, I'd still be a petty thief."

Shi Qian accepted Chai Jin's praise with a smile, and of course, he didn't forget to praise Ren Yuan as well.

"Alright, enough about me. You have the ability yourself, you just haven't had the chance to use it before. By the way, Shi Qian, did you bring back the things I asked you to bring back?"

Ren Yuan smiled and stopped Shi Qian from praising him, then asked him about the important matter.

"Brother, I'm here."

Shi Qian patted his bag.

"Brother, you two chat, I'll head back now."

Seeing this, Chai Jin assumed that Ren Yuan and Shi Qian had something important to discuss, so he immediately got up to take his leave.

But unexpectedly, Ren Yuan called out to him.

"My lord, don't go! This was specially prepared for you."

"for me?"

Chai Jin was somewhat surprised. He pointed to himself, looking puzzled.

"Brother, you're not kidding?"

“My lord, when I saved you back then, I promised you that one day I would let you get revenge for being bullied by the Zhao family.”

Ren Yuan looked at Chai Jin and said very seriously.

"Although Tokyo has not yet been captured and Zhao Ji's throne is relatively stable, we still have ways to vent our anger."

"Therefore, I specially asked Shi Qian to fetch the Zhao family's founding emperor's dragon robe for you!"

As Ren Yuan spoke, he gestured to Shi Qian.

Shi Qian chuckled, pulled a yellowish object from his bundle, and shook it vigorously!

Chai Jin's eyes were immediately glued to him!

"The dragon robe of Emperor Taizu, this is the one that Zhao Kuangyin wore in Chenqiao."

“My lord, now you can do anything to him.”

Ren Yuan waved his hand, signaling two junior officers to bring over a rack. Shi Qian then hung the dragon robe on it, and from a distance, it looked as if someone was still wearing the dragon robe.

"Brother, did you bring this dragon robe for another purpose?"

Chai Jin swallowed hard and turned to ask Ren Yuan.

"As for things, just make the most of them. At this time, this dragon robe is yours, sir. You can do whatever you want with it."

Ren Yuan didn't say it directly, but he clearly conveyed the message that Chai Jin could now do whatever he wanted with the dragon robe.

"Brother, wait for me a moment!"

Upon hearing Ren Yuan's words, Chai Jin immediately rushed out!

He needs to go back and retrieve his ancestral tablets!

"Brother, what do you think the official will do with this dragon robe?"

Watching Chai Jin leave, Shi Qian felt a little curious.

"I guess he'll take the ancestral tablets, and then beat the dragon robe in front of them, as a way of avenging his ancestors."

Ren Yuan could roughly guess what Chai Jin was going to do.

If we can't defeat Zhao Ji for the time being, then let's attack Zhao Da's dragon robe. That's practically the same as defeating Zhao Da, which is also a good idea!

"That's right. Back then, the Zhao family's ancestor was wearing this very outfit when he seized the Chai family's empire. Now he's being beaten by the big shot. It's a case of karma, a retribution for a retribution."

Shi Qian agreed, but then he remembered something.

"Brother, if these clothes get damaged, do I still need to send them to Fang La?"

"Of course I'll send it! How could I not send it? Back in Huguan, didn't I cause Fang La to abandon his robe and cover his face? At that time, Fang La even lost his beloved pale yellow robe."

Ren Yuan said in a very serious tone.

“Look, I’m the most honest person. I lost his yellow robe back then, so now I’m returning it to him. Even if it’s old and worn, it’s still a token of my sincerity! We’re all people of the martial world, so he doesn’t need to thank me.”

"Brother, I love the way you talk nonsense with such a straight face."

Shi Qian said that his older brother was more educated and almost believed him.

"Alright, have someone take this Zhao family ancestor's dragon robe out. If Master Chai wants to fight, he should fight in an open place. Mountain leaders, those who want to watch, come and watch."

"After all, such a good thing as getting a dragon robe is not something you can see every day."

Ren Yuan gave the order, and Shi Qian also went down to inform the others with a smile.

A moment later, the leaders who were not on duty all came to the square in front of the Hall of Righteousness.

After all, this is definitely something worth watching.

Chai Jin, accompanied by his old steward Chai Hu, was already burning incense in the square, carrying the ancestral tablets of the Chai family.

Gongsun Sheng and Qiao Daoqing had also changed into Taoist attire and were performing a ritual.

Chai Jin, with a white ribbon tied around his head and a whip in his hand, knelt before the memorial tablet!

It is said that this whip was Chai Rong's horsewhip back then.

"Our ancestors are above, and we, their unworthy descendants, have finally had the chance to avenge them. With the support of all my brothers from Liangshan, let us retrieve the clothes that traitor wore back then!"

"Today, before all our ancestors, I will use the ancestral horsewhip to whip this garment! It is as if I am whipping that traitor back then!"

"If our ancestors permit it, please grant this unworthy descendant a Holy Grail!"

After Chai Jin finished speaking, he looked at Gongsun Sheng, who solemnly handed him the divination blocks, asking Chai Jin to ask for his instructions.

After Chai Jin prayed for a moment, he threw the divination blocks out. On the first try, both blocks landed head-up, revealing the "Laughing Dipper" (笑茭).

"Strategist, this is..."

Chai Jin was somewhat puzzled and asked Gongsun Sheng.

"Ahem, my lord, it seems your grandfather hasn't heard your call yet, so this time it doesn't count. My lord, try again."

Gongsun Sheng looked serious and gestured for Chai Jin to try again.

Chai Jin followed the instructions, prayed devoutly again, and then threw out the divination blocks. This time, the results were exactly one head and one tail!

"My lord! This is the Holy Grail, we can proceed."

Gongsun Sheng said, "Now it's okay."

"Strategist, don't we need to ask a few more times?"

"No need, it'll be decided in one go, my lord, let's get started!"

Gongsun Sheng put away the divination blocks and gestured for Chai Jin to get started.

Because the activity of throwing divination blocks is actually a one-time event, and Chai Jin threw them twice today, there was already a slight problem with the procedure.

But it's not a big problem. Gongsun Sheng is a Taoist orthodox, so as long as he says there's no problem, then there's no problem!

"it is good!"

Chai Jin, carrying his horsewhip, walked toward the dragon robe of the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty. After taking a few deep breaths, he forcefully swung his whip, lashing it fiercely at the robe!

"Snapped!"

That was a powerful blow! It shows how deep Chai Jin's resentment ran!

The dragon robe of the founding emperor was also slightly deformed by the pull, and it seemed that a muffled groan of pain could be heard in the air!

His old steward, Chai Hu, immediately knelt down on the ground, banged his head on the ground, and burst into tears!

Ancestors! Do you see this? Your unworthy descendants have avenged you!
