Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Zhu Tong!"

Lei Heng was shocked. Zhu Tong had actually been captured alive?!

How could this be? Zhu Tong's martial arts skills are stronger than mine. Where did Liangshan get so many masters?

"Cough cough, Chief, Lei Heng, let's go quickly! These Liangshan guys are too strong!"

Zhu Tong, with disheveled hair, no longer possessed the elegant demeanor of his usual bearded man. However, after being thrown from his horse, his first words were a warning to Chao Gai and Lei Heng to flee!

It is clear that Zhu Tong is indeed a man of honor.

But then he discovered that Chao Gai had been taken into Ren Yuan's control.

“Brother, this captain is quite capable. He fought me for over fifty rounds. His two hundred-plus men have all been wiped out by our battalion. Instead of running back to Yuncheng, he ran all the way towards Dongxi Village. And that's how we caught up with him and captured him alive.”

Yuan Lang said to Ren Yuan with a smile.

"what?"

Lei Heng was shocked. The troops in Yuncheng were gone? This was terrible. Both of them would probably be dismissed if they went back!

"You've lost all your troops, yet you still think of coming to deliver the message. Well done, Zhu Tong. You're truly a man of honor."

Ren Yuan patted Chao Gai on the shoulder.

"If you have a brother like this, cherish him. Don't keep courting disaster."

"Hmph, how can I allow others to sleep peacefully beside my bed? Ren Yuan, if it weren't for the rapid development of Liangshan, I wouldn't have hosted this banquet today."

At this moment, Chao Gai suddenly became somewhat stubborn. In his view, this was Liangshan's fault!

"When I developed my business in Liangshan, did I ever come to Dongxi Village? You're just afraid that we'll take over your business, but do you know what? I never intended to cause you any trouble!"

“At first, I even thought about letting you come up the mountain too, but now it seems that the opportunity is gone!”

"You dare say you've never had any designs on my Dongxi Village!"

Chao Gai didn't believe it. He glared at Ren Yuan as if he wanted to devour him!

No! Believe it or not, it's up to you!

Ren Yuancai was too lazy to say more to Chao Gai; those who walk different paths cannot make plans together.

"If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."

Chao Gai fell silent. If what Ren Yuan said was true, then his behavior this time was particularly ridiculous!

You're just asking for trouble!

"Ren Yuan, we admit defeat this time. Now that you're safe, tell me, what do you want in order to release the headman?"

With the reinforcements from Yuncheng gone, Wu Yong was already panicking. At this moment, all he wanted was for Chao Gai to return.

"Release them? No problem, just give me the money!"

Ren Yuan was relaxed because the remaining men of his battalion were constantly arriving from the direction of Yuncheng. The number of men he had was no less than that of the entire Chao Family Village.

"That's not what you just said."

"Wu Yong, Wu Yong, you set us up, did you only consider the possibility of success and not the possibility of failure? You really only care about the head and not the tail."

"Chao Gai was captured by me during the fight, so it's only natural that I want money."

"Scholar, stop talking."

Chao Gai himself felt ashamed. After this battle, he, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, would probably be ridiculed in the martial arts world for a long time.

“I captured you, my brother captured Zhu Tong, and you two are both very capable. In addition, there are Wu Yong, Liu Tang, Li Kui, and Lei Heng who just made their move.”

"Each of you six will receive five thousand strings of cash, but you only need to give me thirty thousand strings."

"Thirty thousand strings of cash! Why don't you just rob someone!" Chao Gai was extremely distressed when he heard this. Even though he was a wealthy man, thirty thousand strings of cash was enough to cause him serious financial loss.

"I'm robbing them."

Ren Yuan was very frank and not embarrassed at all.

“I gave your servants thirty taels of silver when I came to your estate today. It’s perfectly normal for you to ask me for thirty thousand strings of cash, which is fifteen thousand taels of silver.”

"I don't have that much cash!"

Actually, Chao Gai did have some, but he didn't want to give it away!

"Hmph, Ren Yuan, don't be so arrogant! We also have reinforcements in Jeju!"

Seeing Ren Yuan's outrageous demands, Wu Yong felt extremely uncomfortable; he felt like he was being slapped in the face!

"As expected, Jeju Island has it too."

Mi Sheng and Guang Hui exchanged a glance, feeling even more impressed with their boss's arrangements.

"Ren Yuan, release the village head and the constable now! This matter ends here! Otherwise, when reinforcements arrive, we'll settle all our scores, old and new!"

“Brother, why does this scholar keep bragging? The strategist is much better than him.” Mi Sheng looked at Wu Yong and couldn’t help but complain.

Your own strategist is the best!

"That's a bit of an insult to the strategist. Our strategist is far superior to him."

Ren Yuan didn't take Wu Yong seriously at all. He controlled Chao Gai and then said to Lei Heng:

"Commander Lei, I heard you used to slaughter cattle and lend money, and you're also a gambler? How about we make a bet?"

"What do you want to bet on?"

Ever since Zhu Tong appeared, Lei Heng's heart has been completely focused on Zhu Tong, and he hasn't had a moment to rest for anyone else.

"Let's gamble for a bit on whether it's your reinforcements or my Liangshan army that arrive from Jeju!"

Ren Yuan had great confidence in Jeju Island because Sun An, Chen Da, and Yang Chun led an entire battalion of infantry there, as well as Ruan Xiao Wu and Ruan Xiao Qi led a navy!

With this kind of formation, they really aren't afraid of Jeju reinforcements.

No matter how capable Zhang Shuye (the chief official of Jeju) is, it's unlikely he'll personally take to the front lines at this time.

Besides, Sun An is one of the top fighters in the Second Battalion. With him there, there won't be any problems!

This game... is a sure win!

"Who's in Jeju Island besides Wang Lun?"

Lei Heng turned to Wu Yong and asked, since Wu Yong knew a little about this matter.

"That's it, just him. I wonder if Jeju will send a well-known general."

Wu Yong also regretted it. Why did he agree to Wang Lun's request? Now look what happened, he's a fool.

Wang Lun, you're such a terrible teammate!

"If it's your men who come later, then I'll admit defeat and release your brother."

"But if my Liangshan army comes later, then I'm sorry, you'll have to pay extra to release Chao Gai!"

"Fine! I'll take the bet! But you can't hurt Baozheng!"

Lei Heng, who was now the highest-ranking member of their group, agreed.

The two groups of people set off in an orderly fashion. Everyone on the Liangshan side was full of energy and couldn't wait to fight another battle.

The Chao family village was rather dejected, after all, their leader had been captured.

A moment later, footsteps suddenly came from the direction of Jeju, and everyone craned their necks to look in that direction.

Amidst the dust and smoke, a group of people dressed as Jeju champions appeared to be approaching!

"Hahahahaha!"

Wu Yong burst into laughter again! He had never felt so good before!

Why did the professor laugh again?

Liu Tang was startled again. What was wrong with this genius? He kept laughing out loud. Was there something wrong with him?

"Ren Yuan! Watch closely! These are reinforcements from Jizhou! You've lost! Hand over the village head, and next time you'll beg for mercy. Otherwise, don't blame us for being merciless!"

Wu Yong was incredibly smug right now!

"Please look more closely!"

Ren Yuan was tall, so he could see more clearly.

"Look at those people behind the Jeju army, who are they?"

Everyone looked over and saw a large flag being waved behind the champion from the direction of Jeju!

The character "梁" is written in large letters on it!

"These aren't reinforcements! They're the Liangshan bandits!"

Only then did everyone realize that the Jeju army had not won a battle at all; they had clearly suffered a defeat and fled back!

"Wu Yong, what else do you want to say now?"

Ren Yuan looked at Wu Yong with utter contempt:

"I really disliked your attitude just now! So, if you want to release them, you'll have to pay more!"
