Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

Goryeo, Tokyo.

As you can see, not far outside Tokyo, an army has been neatly stationed there.

This army was impeccably disciplined, with its flags fluttering in the wind, exuding an awe-inspiring presence.

"That's the prince's army?"

Standing atop the city wall of Tokyo, Li Ziqian gazed at the military camp not far away, filled with awe.

With such a formidable military presence... the newcomers must be the elite troops of the Song Dynasty!

Therefore, Li Ziqian became more convinced of the visitor's identity.

“Father, that’s right. My cousin Genshuo is serving as an envoy in their army. If you’re ready, let’s go and meet with His Highness the Prince.”

Looking at the imposing Liangshan army, Li Zimei felt cold sweat appear on his forehead.

If this army were to directly attack Tokyo, could it hold the city?

“Yes, the Prince of the Great Song Dynasty is indeed worthy of my personal visit. Zimei, go and inform Genshuo that we will arrive at the military camp in an hour to pay our respects to His Highness the Prince.”

Li Ziqian gestured for Li Zimei to prepare for the meeting, and Li Zimei readily agreed and then hurried off to do so.

His dad was serious; he could tell!

In the military camp.

"My lord, my uncle will be coming to pay his respects to the prince in an hour."

Lee Geun-seok followed behind Heo Guan-chung with a shameless grin, telling him that Lee Ja-kyum was coming over.

"Okay, Lee Geun-suk, right? If this meeting is successful, we will also give you credit."

Xu Guanzhong nodded to Li Genshuo, offering him a rosy picture.

"Thank you, sir! It is my honor to serve the prince!"

Lee Geun-seok was very excited; he was quite pleased to have gained the favor of the Prince of Song.

Let's say, what if, just what if, the prince is pleased and takes us to the Song Dynasty? We'd be hitting the jackpot!

Even if I can't go to the Song Dynasty, with the support of this prince, my status within the family will definitely improve!

That works too!

"Go ahead. As long as you serve the prince diligently, you'll be rewarded handsomely in the future."

Xu Guanzhong reassured Li Genshuo and then went to discuss the matter with Ren Yuan.

"Brother, Li Ziqian is coming."

"Oh? So fast?"

Ren Yuan was somewhat surprised. It seemed that this Li Ziqian was quite ambitious. He hadn't even bothered to check his background before coming to him. It seemed that he couldn't sit still any longer.

"Brother, you need to prepare yourself. That old fox will probably ask a lot of questions."

Xu Guanzhong gave Ren Yuan some instructions.

"Don't worry, I am the Prince of Liang of the Great Song Dynasty. I have been ordered to come here to punish Wang Yu."

Ren Yuan patted his chest, looking like he had no problem.

"Okay, brother, don't let it slip, then everything is negotiable."

Xu Guanzhong said, "Of course, if you're okay, then everything is fine."

He then gave orders to select some of the most astute soldiers to prepare inside the main tent.

An hour later, a carriage arrived at the Liangshan army camp, where Li Genshuo and several soldiers greeted them at the door.

"uncle."

Lee Geun-suk appeared very respectful to Lee Ja-kyum as she got out of the car.

"Yes, Genshuo, right? You did a good job. Your treatment within the clan will be improved when you go back."

Lee Ja-kyum first praised Lee Geun-seok, then asked him:

"So, is the prince willing to see us?"

"Uncle, cousin, the prince is already waiting for you in the main tent."

Lee Geun Suk gestured for him to enter.

"Hmm, very good, Geun-seok, have you found out the prince's title now?"

"Uncle, we've found out, it's His Highness Prince Liang."

"King Liang?"

Li Ziqian frowned. In his understanding of the Song Dynasty court, there was no such person as the Prince of Liang.

"Yes, I heard from the military commander that the Prince of Liang does not usually attend court and is responsible for some internal affairs of the royal family, so he is not well-known in the court."

"Father, is it possible that the Prince of Liang is not a prince who can be publicly recognized, so you don't know about him?"

Li Zimei also said in a low voice.

"Hmm, that makes sense. We should go and meet them. If they are truly royalty, their demeanor won't lie."

Li Ziqian believed himself to be knowledgeable and experienced, and that he would not be fooled. In his opinion, if this person was an imposter, he would definitely be able to tell after meeting him!

Guided by the soldiers, the group made their way forward. As they passed the military tents, Li Ziqian grew increasingly alarmed.

Good heavens, look at this military bearing and equipment, is this really the army of the Song Dynasty?

If the Song army was so powerful, yet it was constantly suppressed by the Liao people, then the Liao people's fighting strength must be even stronger than imagined.

"General, are you the Imperial Guards of the Great Song Dynasty?"

Li Ziqian couldn't help but ask the soldier who was leading the way.

"My lord, firstly, I am not a general, but merely an ordinary commander. Secondly, it is rather impolite of you to inquire about our origins on your first visit to the military camp."

The soldier who led the way answered Li Ziqian's question with neither arrogance nor servility, an attitude that made Li Ziqian nod in approval.

Yes, this group of soldiers must be the strongest in the Song Dynasty. Look at their demeanor; this is not something an ordinary ruffian would have.

Soon, the group arrived at the central command tent.

"Reporting to King Liang, Li Ziqian, the father-in-law of the King of Goryeo, has arrived!"

"The money's coming in!"

Accompanied by the domineering voices of the surrounding soldiers, the curtain of the central command tent was lifted, and Li Ziqian and the others saw the man sitting high on the commander's throne!

The moment Li Ziqian saw Ren Yuan, he felt as if he were being stared at by some ancient beast. The man in the command seat only looked up at him once, and Li Ziqian felt like he couldn't breathe.

This kind of aura is not something ordinary people possess! This is true kingly dominance!

Ren Yuan is now gradually moving into a high position because he has more and more subordinates and his territory is expanding.

According to Xu Guanzhong and others, if his brother had already shown the qualities of a tyrant, then he was just waiting for the day when he would dominate the world.

"I have long admired your name, Li Guozhang."

Ren Yuan looked at Li Ziqian and slowly spoke. His voice was as loud as a bell, making Li Ziqian's heart skip a beat.

"Your humble servant Li Ziqian greets Your Highness Prince Liang."

"No need for formalities. Firstly, you are a minister of Goryeo, not under my direct jurisdiction. Secondly, you are currently in the army, and I prefer to call you Commander-in-Chief rather than King Liang. Do you understand?"

Ren Yuan waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to be so polite.

"Someone, bring a seat for Minister Li!"

"Thank you, Prince Liang... Thank you, Commander."

Li Ziqian originally intended to question Ren Yuan first, since he had never heard of this Prince Liang before. However, Ren Yuan took the initiative and spoke first, immediately seizing the upper hand.

Just as Li Ziqian was about to sit down on the chairs the soldiers had brought, he suddenly heard Ren Yuan say:

"Grand Tutor Li, do you know why I've come this time?"

“King Liang, if it’s because of the King’s affairs, I can explain…”

Li Ziqian was about to sit down when he suddenly heard Ren Yuan ask a question, so he had to change his posture and continue talking while standing.

"No need for explanations! I won't listen to explanations here. Minister Li, I'll just ask you, if I need your help this time, will you help me?"

Ren Yuan cut straight to the point, and his question made Li Ziqian even more hesitant to sit down, so he could only continue standing and say:

"Since the King of Liang has given his order, I will naturally obey. But I don't know exactly what the King of Liang wants me to do?"
