Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

A hilltop outside Tokyo.

A dozen or so people were resting in an abandoned temple here.

Among the dozen or so people, there were two leaders. One of them looked like a ball and seemed a little anxious, pacing back and forth.

The other one was a Taoist priest, but he didn't seem to know the others very well. He sat alone to one side with his eyes closed, holding a sword in his arms.

This sword is three feet and three inches long. It looks very ancient. The hilt is light gold and the scabbard has very unique patterns. In the hands of this Taoist priest, this sword seems to have a unique charm.

"The Bat King".

Suddenly, someone ran in from outside and immediately spoke to the fat man.

"How about it?"

When the Bat King, also known as Fang Fei, saw this person, his spirits lifted!

"We've found out everything. Madam Tong will be returning to the Tong residence from the Cai residence tonight. She'll be passing through an alley that's quite narrow and has many shops and a diverse population. We can make our move there and evacuate more easily."

Fang Fei's men reported the information they had gathered to him.

"Okay, I'll give you credit for that."

Fang Fei was overjoyed. This was a good idea. Robbing people on the road was easier than snatching them from inside the mansion!

"Have all the brothers in the city been settled?"

"It's all arranged. The brothers in the city will block both ends of the alley. We just need to grab the person and run away immediately."

"Good, good, very good."

Fang Fei praised his subordinates, then turned to look at the Taoist priest:

"Mr. Jin Jian, what do you think?"

"You just need to find out the best route; you don't need to ask me. I'm just here to make sure everything goes smoothly."

Li Zhu opened his eyes and looked at Fang Fei, saying...

"But I have a question. Madam Tong is the daughter of the old traitor Tong Guan. When she goes out, won't she have guards with her?"

"You Ming Cult don't even intend to find out the details before you just kidnap people?"

"Sir, isn't this right here?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Fei laughed, his face twitching.

"Me? I said I won't intervene unless there's a major problem."

Li Zhu rolled his eyes at Fang Fei; he actually didn't want to come at all.

Because Wang Qing was so infatuated with Tong Jiaoxiu, Li Zhu felt it wasn't a good thing, so he was originally unwilling to come.

However, Wang Qing couldn't stand it. He would block Li Zhu's door every day, hug his legs and cry, and swear that as long as Jiao Xiu could be rescued, he would listen to Li Zhu in everything from now on!

You know, Li Zhu is only the second-in-command, yet he made his own boss cry like this. How could Li Zhu not be flustered?

There was no other way but for him to come this time.

"Sir, you're not right about that."

Fang Fei looked at Li Zhu and said with a smile:

"It is said in the martial arts world that the reason why Mr. Jin Jian is not on the list of outlaws is because his martial arts are too high. Even Lu Junyi of Liangshan and Boss Du under the command of the King of Chu are no match for him. When you make a move, it is always amazing!"

"This time, we've gone to great lengths to bring His Highness the King of Chu's wife back. Even we outsiders have done so much. As the King of Chu's most trusted advisor, why haven't you stepped in? That doesn't make sense."

Are you threatening me?

Upon hearing Fang Fei's words, Assistant Li sneered and looked up at Fang Fei and the others.

"No, no, no, Mr. Jin Jian, you became famous early on and are a senior. How could I dare to threaten you?"

Fang Fei was still smiling.

"However, if this operation fails, putting aside the situation on our leader's side, it will be difficult to explain to the King of Chu, won't it?"

"Do you believe I can kill you all and leave unscathed?"

Upon hearing Fang Fei's words, Assistant Li merely sneered.

"If I just say that you died in the operation, do you think your leader would dare to come after me?"

"presumptuous!"

"Be bold!"

"How dare you speak to our Dharma King like that?!"

Upon hearing Li Zhu's particularly threatening words, Fang Fei's men all became uneasy!

This is our Ming Cult's Protector King! His status is second only to the Cult Leader and the two messengers!

You stinking Taoist priest, have some tact in your speech!

"Humph."

Faced with these people's clamor, Assistant Li simply snorted coldly.

Elephants don't pay attention to the provocations of ants, and that's how Li Zhu feels right now.

A bunch of scoundrels who sell their prizes at bargain prices!

"Hey, what's going on? Everyone step back! Mr. Jin Jian is a senior; we must respect him!"

At this moment, Fang Fei also made a gesture of obstruction.

"The Bat King!"

"Go back."

Fang Fei gestured for his men to leave, then said to Assistant Li:

"Please don't be offended, sir. These brothers have been through thick and thin with me for a long time, so they respect me, therefore..."

"You don't need to tell me these things, nor do you need to put on a show of a subject dying for his master. I've already said that this operation is led by the Ming Cult, and I won't interfere."

Li Zhu interrupted Fang Fei directly.

"Because this was an agreement you reached with our leader back then, and you have to fulfill it. If I were to take the lead, what would be the point of having you? Do you really think I can't abduct Tong Jiaoxiu from the Tong residence by myself?"

"I'll say it again, I'm here just to watch you do things and make sure everything goes perfectly, that's all."

“If you can’t do it, then stop pretending to be something you’re not. I’ll go back and tell my leader to end our cooperation with your Ming Cult.”

Li Zhu's words revealed a strong sense of self-confidence and a disdain for the Ming Cult.

"You stinky Taoist priest, watch your mouth!"

But those followers were deeply devoted to the Ming Cult, and they got angry when they saw Li Zhu looking down on their sect like that!

They even bypassed Fang Fei and surrounded Li Zhu!

"You stinking Taoist priest, apologize for your outrageous words, or we won't be so polite."

"That's right, don't think you can insult my Ming Cult just because you're some kind of Golden Sword Master!"

……

"Fang Fei, what do you say?"

Li Zhu glanced at the people who were about to surround him, and then looked at Fang Fei.

“Sir, I respect you, but what you just said was indeed a bit much.”

“My incompetent subordinates have long admired you, sir. Now, please give us your guidance.”

Fang Fei retreated behind the crowd, showing no sign of making a move.

"Fang Fei, are you sure? My golden sword is meant to kill when it's drawn."

Li Zhu stood up, holding his sword.

"Sir, just give me a casual pointer."

The men Fang Fei brought this time were all experts from the Ming Cult. A dozen of them could take on one person, and in this narrow terrain, Fang Fei felt that it would be a good opportunity to let Li Zhu see their abilities!

"on!"

Upon hearing their Dharma King's words, the Ming Cult members drew their weapons and charged towards Li Zhu!

Li Zhu's lips curled into a smile, and with a swift movement, the sword in his hand struck out!

"Only the Yangtze River flows to the horizon!"

Everyone present only saw a flash of golden light! A figure blurred by a blur!

Then, Li Zhu appeared beside Fang Fei, holding a golden sword to his neck!

"I've already said, don't make me act rashly."
