Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

Wu Li has finished explaining all the issues and resolving the conflict between father and daughter.

After Ren Yuan said he would definitely bring Tian Hu to Qiong Ying to deal with, Qiong Ying could no longer hold back and threw herself into Wu Li and Ni Shi's arms, crying as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances she had suffered over the years.

Wu Li and Ni Shi also hugged Qiong Ying and cried bitterly; the family seemed to have a lot to say to each other.

Ren Yuan did not disturb the family's time of conversation. He waved his hand, signaling Zhang Qing and Hu Sanniang to leave as well.

Zhang Qing and Hu Sanniang were also understanding, and they followed Ren Yuan out.

"Brother, can you really let Ma Qijun and Brother Huyan go together to deal with Tian Hu?"

This is a rare instance of Zhang Qing volunteering for the mission; since he came up the mountain, this is the most enthusiastic he has ever been in volunteering!

"Zhang Qing, do you really want to fight Tian Hu that badly?"

Ren Yuan crossed his arms and looked at Zhang Qing with amusement.

"Brother, this time, Tian Hu must be beaten!"

Zhang Qing said decisively.

"Um, Qiongying is still young, so please be mindful of your behavior."

Ren Yuan said, "Although it's true that Tian Hu bullied your future wife's family, you're only master and apprentice now, not husband and wife. Be careful about the impact!"

“Brother, I’m telling you the truth, after all, Qiongying is my apprentice…”

"Give me a break. Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? The way I looked at your sister-in-law back then is exactly the same way you look at Qiongying now."

Ren Yuan said, "I've been through this before, do you think you can lie to me?"

“Brother, I just feel like I’ve seen this girl Qiongying before, a long time ago.”

Zhang Qing had no choice but to honestly tell the whole story.

"So I went to ask Master Gongsun, and he cast a divination for me, saying that I, I..."

"When did Gongsun Sheng start doing fortune telling on the side?"

Ren Yuan said he sensed something amiss. Although Gongsun Sheng was certainly capable of such things, he didn't seem to have demonstrated any fortune-telling abilities during his entire life in Liangshan.

“Brother, Master Gongsun has always been able to calculate; it’s a true skill passed down through generations of the Two Immortals Mountain. It’s just that you haven’t had the chance to do it yourself…”

What Zhang Qing didn't say was that Gongsun Sheng had once secretly told his brothers that he had calculated Ren Yuan's fate once, but he couldn't continue after only half of it.

If he continued calculating, Gongsun Sheng felt like he was going to vomit blood.

So now all the brothers know that their brother's destiny is indeed too noble for ordinary people to calculate.

"Okay, then I'll ask him to do a reading next time. By the way, you haven't told me yet, Gongsun Sheng did a reading for you, what did he say?"

Ren Yuan asked with some curiosity.

"Master Gongsun said that Qiongying and I have a predestined relationship from a previous life."

Ren Yuan raised an eyebrow. As someone who had read the original "Water Margin," he was very clear about the predestined relationship between Qiong Ying and Zhang Qing.

But what he didn't expect was that Gongsun Sheng could actually calculate it for someone, which meant that his master, Master Luo, might really have something different.

"A predestined marriage?"

Hu Sanniang was quite interested after hearing this.

"Brother Zhang Qing, are you sure it's not that Master Gongsun said this on purpose because he could tell you were interested in Qiongying?"

"Third Sister, Master Gongsun is a highly accomplished Taoist master and a renowned figure in the world of Erxian Mountain. How could I possibly have such abilities?"

Zhang Qing stated that he was not exaggerating at all.

"Moreover, Master Gongsun also said before that when you were a child, didn't someone tell your fortune? That person was very accurate."

"Now your destiny has changed to one of wealth and honor after overcoming calamity. From now on, Third Sister, you will be a great benefactor."

After hearing Zhang Qing's words, Hu Sanniang became even more interested in Gongsun Sheng's fortune-telling ability.

She had already decided that she would definitely ask Gongsun Sheng when she had some free time.

"Report! Chieftain, Military Advisor Xiao and his men have returned! And they've brought a large number of prisoners with them!"

A report from a junior officer stopped the three men from chatting. Upon hearing that there were prisoners, Ren Yuan frowned.

"Prisoners? What happened?"

"According to the leader of the Mi Sheng tribe, these were defeated soldiers from Tian Hu's army that we encountered in Dongping Prefecture. We happened to see them bullying those refugees, so our Liangshan army punished them."

"Tian Hu's defeated troops have all fled here? Then Tian Hu is doomed."

Ren Yuan had certainly considered that Tian Hu might not be able to hold on, but he did not expect that Tian Hu would be unable to hold on so quickly!

"Let's go! Let's see what kind of defeated soldiers they are!"

Ren Yuan left first, followed closely by Zhang Qing and Hu Sanniang.

……

“Brother, these people are all Dong Ping’s men. According to them, Jinyang has been captured by the imperial court. They abandoned the city and fled. Dong Ping led them on a haphazard journey and they ended up back in Dongping Prefecture.”

After a while, when Ren Yuan, Xiao Jiahui, Mi Sheng, and the others met up, Xiao Jiahui took the initiative to introduce the current situation.

"Old Xiao, wait a minute. Shouldn't you be on duty at the strategist's office today? Why are you here with Mi Sheng and Shi Qi's troops?"

Ren Yuan said, "What are you doing, Hsiao Chia-Sui? Openly skipping work?"

"Um... Brother, that's not important. Listen to me, what's important is that Dong Ping has brought people to Dongping Prefecture. This means that it's only a matter of time before Tian Hu's side is defeated. We need to prepare as soon as possible."

Xiao Jiahui explained.

"I know that. My question is, aren't you supposed to be on duty today? Why aren't you in the duty room? Why are you here?"

Ren Yuan said, "One is one, two is two, Xiao Jiasui, don't try to get away with this!"

"Daoqing should be there to replace me. And brother, the important thing is that it wasn't just these defeated soldiers who fled here, but Dong Ping himself led the escape."

"Oh? What about Dong Ping?"

"Killed by me."

"Ah, huh?"

Ren Yuan was somewhat surprised. He looked at Xiao Jiahui:

"You and Dong Ping were dueling? Mi Sheng! Shi Qi! What's going on? Is it customary to have a strategist duel with generals? What are you two doing?"

"Brother, it's not my fault!"

Mi Sheng said he was wronged.

"It was the daughter of the prefect of Dongping Prefecture who was also at the refugee resettlement site in Dongping Prefecture. Then Dong Ping led his men to surround the place, and then the strategist led his men to relieve the siege. Finally, the strategist killed Dong Ping and resolved the crisis. That's how it happened."

Ren Yuan raised an eyebrow after hearing this.

Just now, he thought he heard Cheng Wanli's daughter?

It was Cheng Wanli's daughter who was surrounded, and then Xiao Jiahui made a move, right?

Ren Yuan looked at Xiao Jiahui, and he could smell the gossip again.

"Old Xiao, I don't remember you being so familiar with Cheng Wanli's daughter?"
