Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

Liangshan made a fortune quietly, building his own business overseas without making a sound.

If the next two battles go smoothly, Im Won can become the ruler of South Goryeo and officially share the entire Korean Peninsula with Wang Yu.

Then, with just a little more effort, Goryeo could become history, thus allowing them to confront the rising power of the Jurchens, who were also constantly weakening the Liao Dynasty.

You know what, Liangshan is currently creating a legend of outlaws!

Other outlaws either ruled the mountains as kings, enjoying their lives day by day, or accepted amnesty and became the court's lackeys.

But Ren Yuan insisted on being different; he wanted to destroy the country and become its ruler!

If the men under the other three major bandits knew about the big things Liangshan was doing, they would probably be restless immediately, and many might even voluntarily leave their current forces and join Liangshan.

Of course, whether Liangshan wanted to come or not was another matter. Moreover, before they had taken over the entire Goryeo, Liangshan was very low-key and determined not to let anyone know what they were doing!

Therefore, at this time within the territory of the Song Dynasty, Liangshan was in a state of temporary silence. They quietly stayed in the marsh without making a sound, as if they had withdrawn from the Song Dynasty's banditry.

The martial arts world is also very curious. Since killing Grand Commandant Gao, Liangshan has been silent for the past few months. Have they given up their honor as the number one outlaw stronghold in the Song Dynasty?

In fact, there were people in the imperial court who suggested simply attacking Liangshan as well.

But that didn't stop Liangshan from having Du Fei! This Liangshan spy, disguised as Gao Yanei, proactively advised Emperor Huizong against sending troops on four fronts, as it would be too wasteful of resources and manpower. Although he was determined to avenge his adoptive father Gao Qiu, he decided to wait until the other three fronts were over, out of consideration for the court.

In short, he was desperately trying to buy time for Liangshan, delaying as long as possible.

However, these words made Emperor Huizong like him even more.

Look, look!

What is a loyal minister?

That's loyalty!

Gao Qingjia and Liangshan were mortal enemies, but for the sake of the imperial court, he was willing to temporarily put aside his hatred!

What a broad mind! What a spirit of consideration for the imperial court!

These are truly loyal ministers of my court!

Unlike you lot, all you want to do is fight bandits and gain merit. Fine, fighting is fine, but it has to be effective. We've been fighting for so long now, which of the three bandit groups have you taken down?

not a single one!

And they dare to go out and claim to be loyal ministers and generals of the Song Dynasty? What a joke! I think they're all useless idiots!

Of course, Zhao Ji wouldn't say these things aloud. He would only express them to Gao Kan when they were alone. This made Gao Kan even more confident. As long as the remaining three bandit leaders were still around, he was confident that he could keep delaying for the stronghold!

After all, the three outlaw leaders outside of Liangshan are still entangled with the imperial court.

Huaixi, Fangshan.

This is the stronghold of King Wang Qing of Chu, and the place where he rose to power. Most of Wang Qing's most important subordinates have residences in Fangshan.

Originally, Wang Qing and Duan San Niang lived together on the top of Fangshan Mountain, but because the two had a fight and a falling out, Wang Qing has now moved out of their original place.

He chose a decent house on the mountainside in Fangshan as his place of residence in Fangshan.

Of course, Tong Jiaoxiu lives here now too.

Ever since Tong Jiaoxiu returned to Wang Qing's side, Wang Qing has been inseparable from her every day and every night, to the point that "the emperor no longer holds court in the morning."

Before Tong Jiaoxiu arrived, Wang Qing managed to repel Liu Fa's attacks several times thanks to his explosive power. However, after Tong Jiaoxiu returned, Wang Qing had no interest in politics. Fortunately, he had Li Zhu and Liu Min to back him up, otherwise the battle situation on Wang Qing's side would probably have collapsed.

This change struck Liu Fadu as very strange.

How come Wang Qing's combat power fluctuates so much? When he's at his best, even Liu Fa can't help but look at him with new respect. When he's at his worst, his tactics are simply appalling. It's really strange that the same person can be so different.

"Brother Qing~ Come and catch me~"

At this moment, in his residence in Fangshan, Wang Qing was blindfolded and playing hide-and-seek with Tong Jiaoxiu in the courtyard.

"Jiaoxiu~ Don't run away~ Come quickly into your brother's arms~"

At this moment, Wang Qing had a handkerchief covering his eyes, his clothes were open, revealing his chest muscles, which, although not very hard, were still well-defined, and he kept teasing Tong Jiaoxiu.

"Giggle~ Brother Qing~ You're naughty~ You have to catch me first~"

"If you grab me, I'll let you... hehe~"

Tong Jiaoxiu's words, along with her silvery laughter, made Wang Qing's blood boil.

"Okay! Brother is coming to catch you!"

"Brother Qing~ You can't catch him~"

Just as the two were playfully bickering and being affectionate, suddenly, a loud bang rang out in the courtyard:

"Bang!!"

The sound startled Tong Jiaoxiu and Wang Qing!

Wang Qing immediately removed the handkerchief covering his eyes, and at that moment Tong Jiaoxiu immediately shrank into his arms like a frightened rabbit!

"Brother Qing, I'm scared."

"Don't be afraid, Jiaoxiu, I'm here."

While comforting the woman in his arms, Wang Qing shouted towards the outside of the courtyard:

"What happened! Feng Tai! What's going on?!"

"Heh, Wang Qing, you don't even know what happened? Are you even a man? How dare you call yourself the ruler of Huaixi?"

The response to Wang Qing came from a rather rough female voice, and then a group of people appeared in the courtyard.

The leader was a burly woman, who, despite being dressed in fine clothes, looked strangely out of place.

The woman glanced at Wang Qing and Tong Jiaoxiu's appearance and sneered:

"Tsk tsk, Wang Qing, the soldiers of Huaixi are fighting bloody battles on the front lines, while you, as the King of Chu, are hiding in the garden enjoying yourself. You really have a refined taste!"

"Third Sister, what brings you here?"

When Wang Qing looked, he realized that the person who came was none other than Duan San Niang.

"I can't come? Wang Qing, don't you know who conquered Fangshan back then?"

Duan Sanniang sneered. She had come here today to see which vixen had made Wang Qing so happy that he didn't want to leave!

"Brother Qing~ Who is she~ She's so scary~"

At this moment, Tong Jiaoxiu, who was lying in Wang Qing's arms, raised her head slightly, looked at Duan Sanniang, and then immediately buried her head back in Wang Qing's arms and acted coquettishly.

"Jiaoxiu, don't be afraid. This is the Third Sister I told you about."

The woman in his arms was frightened, so Wang Qing quickly comforted her.

"Ah~ She's Sister Duan~ How could she speak to Brother Qing in such a tone~ Brother Qing is clearly the ruler of Huaixi, Sister Duan speaking like that will hurt him~"

"Unlike me, I only feel sorry for pigeons~"
