Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

Liangshan

"Ah! Ahh!"

Ren Yuan was cooking some of his signature dishes for Hua Yun when he suddenly started sneezing repeatedly for some reason.

"Ms. sir, what's wrong with you?"

Hua Yun was a little curious.

"I don't know, it's probably some friend who's secretly thinking about me again."

Ren Yuan shook his head slightly. Of course, he couldn't imagine that, thousands of miles away in Weisheng, Tian Hu was cursing him furiously.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

If you, Tian Hu, have the guts, come to my Liangshan and curse me! Don't hide in your dilapidated palace and spout nonsense!

……

It's a new day in Dongping Prefecture.

Cheng Wanli continued to work diligently in the government office.

It must be said, he is a capable man.

Since he took over Dongping Prefecture, he has indeed done a lot. Many unreasonable systems and cases that the previous prefect had established have been abolished, overturned, and reversed by him.

However, the common people's feelings towards him... well, they didn't have any particular feelings about him.

At most, he's a little better than the previous governor, but that's all.

It's not fair to blame the people for having such high expectations. The main reason is that Dongping Prefecture is too close to Liangshan, and Liangshan is too good to the people. Many of their measures are things that Cheng Wanli couldn't have thought of, and even if he had, he wouldn't have been able to implement them in Dongping Prefecture.

Compared to such a good neighbor, Cheng Wanli could only accept his bad luck.

After all, comparing prices leads to discarding items!

It's impossible for the people of Dongping Prefecture not to feel envious when they see the good life of the people under the rule of Liangshan next door.

So even though Cheng Wanli had done his best, he could only get a passable evaluation.

If his predecessor hadn't been so terrible, the people might not have even given him this evaluation!

This made Cheng Wanli frown all day long. The people's hearts were not with him, which was very frustrating for the leader!

That damned predecessor, how dare he boast about the harmonious and efficient government under his rule?

"My lord, Miss has once again led a group to visit the poor in the city and the refugees outside the city on your behalf."

A subordinate came to report: "Well, Cheng Wanli's reputation may be so-so in Dongping Prefecture, but Cheng Wan'er has a good reputation among the people of Dongping Prefecture."

This young lady was not only approachable, but she also visited the common people from time to time, bringing them food and clothing. In the hearts of many people, Cheng Wan'er was like a fairy from heaven!

"Wan'er went again. Thank you for helping me with this."

After listening to his subordinates' report, Cheng Wanli was filled with mixed emotions.

He knew, of course, that his daughter's reputation in Dongping Prefecture was now better than his own.

This made him very proud.

But at the same time, he was also very distressed, because he knew that his daughter had been doing this kind of work to appease the people for his sake.

Cheng Wanli, you can't let your daughter's hard work go to waste!

With this in mind, Cheng Wanli threw himself back into his work.

Outside the city, a resettlement area for displaced people.

"Miss, Miss, I asked Uncle Jin, and none of the Liangshan people have come today."

The maid Liu'er skipped and hopped from afar, returning to her mistress's side.

Meanwhile, Cheng Wan'er was personally distributing food to the refugees.

This wasn't just a simple act of handing out thin porridge. What Cheng Wan'er gave the people was a combination of one meat dish and one vegetable dish. Although the amount of meat was less than the amount of vegetables, it was genuine.

"You didn't come today, that's okay."

Upon hearing Liu'er's words, Cheng Wan'er paused her movements slightly, but quickly resumed.

While there was some regret in her tone about no one coming to Liangshan, there was more anticipation than regret.

"Miss, have you always wanted to see that Liangshan strategist from that day?"

Liu'er moved closer to her young mistress and teased her.

"Liu'er, you're talking nonsense again..."

Cheng Wan'er blushed slightly, then raised her hand and flicked her maid's nose.

"I'm not making this up. Miss comes to see the people every few days. Besides wanting to help Master, she probably wants to see that strategist Xiao from that day!"

Liu'er blinked her big eyes.

"Miss, that strategist Xiao is indeed very handsome, and his martial arts skills are also quite good. I think he and you are a perfect match!"

"You should just use your brain on yourself."

Cheng Wan'er tapped Liu'er's head. This child was like her own little sister to her. Cheng Wan'er had a good temper and had almost never said anything to her.

"Hehe, I'm not afraid. Miss will definitely not abandon me. She will definitely make arrangements for Liu'er in the future."

"If you don't behave, I'll find someone to marry you off."

Cheng Wan'er scared Liu'er.

"Miss, you certainly won't do that. Then I hope that strategist Xiao will appear soon and marry you!"

Liu'er wasn't afraid of her young mistress at all.

"It's not that easy."

Cheng Wan'er gently shook her head; it wasn't that she hadn't inquired about the strategist from that day.

However, the common people kept almost no information about the leaders of Liangshan. It was only after Cheng Wan'er's actions gained the approval of the people that they learned from them that the man's surname was Xiao and that he held a very high position on Liangshan.

Cheng Wan'er understood that, in terms of status, she and that strategist Xiao were worlds apart.

One was the daughter of a high-ranking official in the imperial court, and the other was the strategist of a notorious bandit leader.

But that one glance that day had already imprinted Xiao Jiahui's charm in Cheng Wan'er's heart.

As everyone was laughing and joking, suddenly, dust billowed up on the road not far away, and the sound of horses' hooves approached from afar!

"what happened?"

"I don't know, is it some kind of large army passing through?"

"Hide quickly."

……

The refugees were momentarily panicked. They were certain that the people coming were not from Liangshan, because Liangshan cavalry would never have run so wildly when they approached their settlement.

"Miss, this person is hostile. Please get back into your car!"

Because of the trouble they had encountered before, Wang Bing felt sorry for his niece, so now every time Cheng Wan'er goes out, she is surrounded by more than two hundred guards.

Upon hearing the sound of horses' hooves, the two captains who had come out to guard immediately felt their hearts leap into their throats!

"Quickly, send someone back to get reinforcements!"

Although they didn't know whether they were friend or foe, they immediately sent a messenger back to request reinforcements, while the others quickly formed a formation to protect Cheng Wan'er's carriage.

Soon, the group in the dust and smoke gradually revealed its true form.

This was a mixed force of infantry and cavalry, numbering around a thousand, with about two or three hundred cavalrymen among them. However, they seemed to be avoiding something, and were running wildly along the road.

"General! We've spotted a lot of refugees and government troops ahead!"

"What? Stop! Stop!"

The man leading this team was fully armed, carrying two pistols, one on each side. He was none other than Dong Ping, the Double-Pistol General, who had broken out from Tian Hu's encirclement!

The team behind him consisted of his loyal followers. This time, they were ready to abandon Tian Hu and flee south to save their lives once they saw that he could not hold on any longer.

According to Dong Ping's idea, as long as his more than a thousand men went south to any mountain, they would definitely still be the overlords of the bandits!

He would first enjoy a few more years of carefree life among the outlaws, and then follow Wang Qing's example and accept the imperial pardon, so that he could continue to enjoy wealth and honor!

As for the title of Duke of Zhenguo that Tian Hu gave him.

Please, even Tian Hu can't hold on anymore, the Great Jin Dynasty is about to fall, the country is gone, what's the point of suppressing it now!

What territory lies ahead?

Dong Ping ran around like a headless fly, with no idea where he was.

He just felt that the scenery in front of him seemed familiar, as if he had seen it before.

"General, judging from the map, the area ahead is the territory of Dongping Prefecture!"

Dongping Prefecture!

Yes! This is Dongping Prefecture!

Dong Ping was immediately filled with emotion!

He was originally a military supervisor in Dongping Prefecture, but he was killed by Liangshan and could no longer stay in Dongping Prefecture. In the end, he had no choice but to seek refuge in Hebei and serve Tian Hu.

Now that Tian Hu's power is waning, when Jinyang City fell, Dong Ping ignored Tian Biao and desperately rushed out, escaping like a headless fly. Unexpectedly, he ended up back here!

It seems that this is destiny, after all!

Ren Yuan, you probably never imagined that I, Dong Ping, would one day be able to return to Dongping Prefecture!

"Dongping Prefecture! I, Dong Ping, have returned!"
