Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Military Advisor, you...you didn't leave?"

Wang Qing was astonished to see Li Zhu return!

Didn't Assistant Li leave? Why is he back again?

"I almost left! If I hadn't suddenly remembered something, I would never have imagined that I would have missed your plan, Alliance Leader!"

Assistant Li looked very unwell.

He was indeed going to find Liu Min, but as soon as he left the main room, Li Zhu recalled the appearance of Wang Qing and the others, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Why would Wang Qing suddenly be in a room discussing something with a group of people?

Why did Wang Qing and the others speak haltingly when he went in?

Why was Tong Jiaoxiu there at the time?

Although Tong Jiaoxiu gave a perfect reason, after Li Zhu realized it, he didn't believe that everything was such a coincidence!

In fact, with Li Zhu's intelligence, he should have noticed the problem long ago. However, he had been busy for several days in a row and had not rested properly, so Li Zhu's brain reaction speed was much slower than usual.

Otherwise, he would have noticed the problem on the spot, instead of only discovering it after he left.

So he immediately turned back and, sure enough, overheard Wang Qing and the others talking at the door!

"Strategist, you must have misheard me, we didn't say anything about a plan..."

Wang Qing was still thinking of trying to struggle a little longer.

"Alliance Leader, I've been with you for so many years, and I know you well. I can tell what kind of shit you're going to take just by the way you lift your butt."

Li Zhu interrupted Wang Qing.

"Ever since the uprising in Fangshan, I, Li Zhu, have been utterly loyal to you, leader. No matter what you do, I have always supported you!"

"I truly believed that we could talk about anything! But now, Alliance Leader, you're trying to hide something from me? And you're even trying to deceive me? Alliance Leader, I don't understand, why is that?"

Li Zhu's words silenced Wang Qing.

Because Li Zhu was right, he was indeed a very important helper to me. I used to consult him about anything.

"Alliance Leader, why aren't you saying anything?"

Li Zhu looked at the silent Wang Qing, his heart bleeding!

Is this the person I carefully selected to assist?

Why does it feel so unfamiliar!

"The alliance leader is silent, so what about you? Can any of you tell me what exactly happened?"

Wang Qing remained silent, so Li Zhu immediately turned his gaze to the others.

When the others saw Li Zhu's gaze sweep over them, they all lowered their heads, not daring to meet his eyes or even breathe loudly, silently chanting in their hearts:

"Can't see me, can't see me..."

Just kidding, when the strategist gets angry, he's absolutely terrifying! Who would dare to provoke him?

"Teng Kui! Tell me, what exactly is the plan?"

Seeing that these people weren't answering his questions, Assistant Li simply called them out by name!

Teng Kui is the highest-ranking military officer present, so let's ask him!

"Ah, strategist, strategist, you, I, I..."

Teng Kui was startled when Li Zhu called his name out of the blue, but under the pressure of Li Zhu's tangible gaze, he had no choice but to speak.

Unfortunately, all he said after he opened his mouth was nonsense.

"Teng Kan! You speak!"

Li Zhu didn't have the patience. If his older brother wouldn't explain, then his younger brother would do it!

"Military Advisor..."

After being called out, Teng Kan also had a wry smile on his face. Given the strategist's current situation, what could he possibly say?

He was afraid that he would lose his life if he said it!

Keep in mind that this is a main hall, and in this place, Li Zhu's ability to take a person's head within ten steps is unparalleled!

Left with no other choice, Teng Kan could only look to Wang Qing.

That means:

"Alliance Leader, why don't we tell the strategist?"

Wang Qing received Teng Kan's request for help. At this moment, Li Zhu also looked at Wang Qing again. Facing Li Zhu's questioning gaze, Wang Qing took several deep breaths, closed his eyes, and tried to calm himself down.

A moment later, he reopened his eyes, met Li Zhu's gaze, and slowly spoke:

"Strategist, the matter is..."

"Brother Qing, let me speak."

Just as Wang Qing was about to confess everything, a melodious, warbling voice, like that of a nightingale, suddenly interrupted him.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Tong Jiaoxiu, who had just left, had reappeared at the door at some point.

"Lady Tong?"

The moment Li Zhu saw Tong Jiaoxiu, his brain, which hadn't had a proper rest for many days, started working frantically again!

The alliance leader and these generals were in such a difficult position, unwilling to tell me, but this Tong Jiaoxiu actually knew about it... oh my... no way...

Li Zhu's expression suddenly changed!

He had a terrifying and unbelievable idea.

"Strategist, you escorted me safely to Huaixi and reunited with Brother Qing. I am deeply grateful for this kindness."

Tong Jiaoxiu walked gracefully into the house, and as she passed Li Zhu, she gave him a deep bow.

Li Zhu was a little confused at the moment and didn't return the greeting. Tong Jiaoxiu didn't mind; as she walked towards Wang Qing, she continued:

“But strategist, if you really want what’s best for Brother Qing, you shouldn’t let him remain a puppet in Huaixi.”

"puppet?"

Li Zhu felt his throat was a little dry.

“Strategist, my brother Qing has been in Huaixi for so many years, and he has always done whatever you asked him to do. You have never considered what he wants to do.”

"Although he is one of the four heroes of the greenwood, even someone like Duan Sanniang doesn't take him seriously. Brother Qing still has to humble himself before her. What else is he but a puppet?"

"Of course, I am very grateful to you, strategist, for taking care of Brother Qing. Without you, Brother Qing would not be where he is today."

"However, strategist, if you really care about Brother Qing, you should listen to him and find out what he really wants."

"Strategist, you don't understand Brother Qing's heart."

Tong Jiaoxiu's words silenced the room once again.

No one expected that Tong Jiaoxiu, who was always so delicate, could actually say so much despite the pressure from Assistant Li!

"Alliance Leader, is this how it is? This humble Taoist does not understand what you desire?"

Li Zhu remained expressionless, staring directly at Wang Qing, wanting only an answer from him.

"Then please tell me, Alliance Leader, what do you desire?"

“Strategist, what Jiaoxiu said is indeed correct.”

Wang Qing was initially reluctant to speak, but Tong Jiaoxiu took his hand and encouraged him.

"Although you're really good to me, sometimes you just don't know what I want."

"Alright, then please tell me, Alliance Leader, what do you want now?"

Li Zhu remained expressionless, his eyes fixed on Wang Qing, one hand already on the hilt of his sword.

"I...I want to be granted amnesty!"

Looking at Li Zhu, Wang Qing felt immense pressure, but the warmth from her soft hand suddenly gave him tremendous courage!

In that instant, Wang Qing suddenly felt that he could face Li Zhu directly!

"What did you say? Say it again."

Although Li Zhu had already imagined the answer in his mind, he still couldn't control his tone when he actually heard it.

Offer amnesty? What kind of amnesty is that!

"I said, I want to be granted amnesty!"

Wang Qing wasn't intimidated anymore. He figured he'd already said it, so what was the harm in saying it again?

Moreover, Tong Jiaoxiu, who was beside him, was giving him an admiring look. With such a beauty by his side, Wang Qing couldn't back down!

No sooner had Wang Qing finished speaking than Li Zhu’s furious voice echoed throughout the room!

"You want to surrender? How could you possibly surrender?!"

"So many brothers died on the battlefield for the sake of the entire Huaixi region! How can you accept their amnesty!"

"Canglang!"

The sound of a sword being drawn rang out! A flash of golden light appeared before everyone's eyes!

"Strategist, no!"

"Strategist, please think twice!"

"Brother Qing!!"
