Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

Lu Zhishen was very willing to save people.

Especially regarding the rescue of Lin Chong's family, he immediately asked:

"Brother, how exactly do you plan to save him? Can you suggest a method?"

"Master, don't worry. Our scouts from Liangshan have already laid an ambush near the instructor's house. We'll go and make contact with the scouts first, and then see how best to make contact with Instructor Zhang."

"Instructor Zhang now stays at home almost every day, only going out to buy things in the late afternoon. That's when the weather is hottest, and Gao Yanei won't come over."

At this moment, Zhang San and Li Si suddenly ran over and gave important information.

"How do you know?"

Ren Yuan was somewhat surprised.

"Hehe, since Master was trapped in the Great Xiangguo Temple, we went to keep an eye on Gao Yanei for him, and we figured it out."

Zhang San and Li Si were very satisfied with their summary.

“Sure, Shi Qian, if these two are willing, they can follow you from now on.”

Ren Yuan glanced at the two men. Although their names were quite ordinary, especially Zhang San, who was known as "street rat"—a rat that everyone wants to kill.

But just for the fact that they dared to curse Gao Yanei's lackeys and risked their lives to protect Lu Zhishen, those two are also heroes.

Liangshan could never have too many men like this!

"What does this brother mean?"

Zhang San and Li Si were somewhat incredulous.

This is Liangshan! It's the most prestigious mountain stronghold in the martial arts world in the past year! And it was personally approved by the stronghold chief!

Even scoundrels have their goals. Look at Gao Qiu, he was originally a scoundrel, but now he's a Grand Commandant!

For Zhang San and Li Si, being favored by the emperor is too difficult, but being favored by the leader of a mountain is definitely a leap from carp to dragon gate!

"What my brother means is that from now on, you will listen to me when you are in Liangshan."

Shi Qian walked between the two men and hooked his arms around their shoulders, one on each side.

"After you've rescued Instructor Lin's family this time, you two should come to my scout camp. My scout camp really needs the two of you!"

"I am willing to die for my brother! I would gladly give my life for him!"

Zhang San and Li Si quickly kowtowed, fearing that Ren Yuan would change his mind.

Ren Yuan didn't think too much about it. Zhang San and Li Si have been hooligans in Tokyo for so long. He could have Shi Qian train them up so they would be their first informants in Tokyo!

"Alright, then we'll meet with Instructor Zhang at Shenshi this afternoon. Now, Shi Qian, Zhang San and Li Si are familiar with the terrain of Tokyo, have them dictate three routes out of the city to you. If possible, bribe one of the goalkeepers tonight, and as for that bastard Gao Yanei, we're going to break all his limbs tonight!"

“Brother, everything else is easy to handle, but bribing the person is too urgent and difficult to do.”

Shi Qian scratched his head, and Gu Shangzao indicated that this request was rather troublesome.

"Yeah...too."

Ren Yuan thought about it and realized that he also found it troublesome to do this kind of last-minute work.

"Brother, the two of us can handle the map. You can go and see if you have any ideas."

Zhang San and Li Si then stepped forward and said that they could do it.

"Absolutely foolproof?"

Ren Yuan's tone was somewhat serious; this was no joke.

"Don't worry, brother, we'll find you five paths!"

Zhang San and Li Si patted their chests and said.

"Alright, Shi Qian, come with me, let's see if there are any other solutions."

Ren Yuan gestured to Shi Qian to set off quickly, as it was almost noon and they needed to get things done as soon as possible.

"Brother, shall we go to Instructor Zhang's house first?"

"We can't go. I reckon that area is full of Gao Qiu's men right now. If we go, we'll be too conspicuous. Let's wait until Instructor Zhang comes out and then try to contact him."

Ren Yuan led Shi Qian toward the city gate, wanting to see if they could leave through the city gate today.

"How about we take the waterway?"

As he stepped onto a bridge, Shi Qian pointed to the Bian River and said.

"Waterway... isn't out of the question either."

Ren Yuan thought about it and realized that waterways had one advantage: they were convenient for hiding people.

"Do we have a boat in Tokyo?"

"I really don't have any... Shall I go buy some now?"

Shi Qian said, "That's really not true."

"Ordinary small fishing boats aren't suitable; we need something larger, like..."

Ren Yuan looked at the boats on the Bian River, and suddenly his gaze stopped on one spot.

"Brother, what are you looking at... is that a pleasure boat?"

Although painted boats were popular in Suzhou and Hangzhou, how could Tokyo, as the capital, not have them?

Shi Qian was surprised. "Brother, what are you doing...?"

"What do you think, would it be alright if we took a pleasure boat?"

Oh? Oh! I see!

Shi Qian understood. He thought his brother had misunderstood. It turned out he wanted to go out by boat.

"The pleasure boats in Tokyo are brightly lit all night, and you can leave the city very early the next morning. There's not much of a check on the large pleasure boats, since those who charter them probably have some special requests. So if we go out on a pleasure boat, there shouldn't be any problems."

Shi Qian thought about it and realized that this method was indeed feasible.

The large pleasure boats in Tokyo are all owned by important figures, and they can travel to and from the Bian River without being investigated.

After all, if you happen to witness the affairs of some important people, you might be severely punished or even lose your life.

"But the problem is, brother, which pleasure boat should we go to?"

Ren Yuan frowned as well. Indeed, this was a big problem. Liangshan had no base in Tokyo, and they couldn't even find a pleasure boat.

Do you know any pleasure boats?

"Brother, stop fooling around. Do you think my little brother looks like this?"

"So how much money did we bring this time? How much do you think this big pleasure boat costs for one night?"

"We left in a hurry this time, so we didn't have much, but it's definitely not enough."

Shi Qian didn't know the exact price, but looking at the appearance of the pleasure boat, he knew it was beyond his means.

"How about we rob one? Then we'll pay for it when we get back to the mountain?"

Ren Yuan proposed a method that was very much in line with their professional style.

"Brother, didn't you say that we Liangshan don't do that kind of thing?"

Shi Qian carefully expressed his opinion.

"Then pretend I didn't say anything."

Ren Yuan was helpless. The two of them stood on the bridge, looking at the painted boats on the Bian River, seemingly lost in thought.

At that moment, on the largest painted boat on the Bian River, a veiled woman suddenly saw Ren Yuan and Shi Qian on the bridge.

There was no way around it; even in Tokyo, Ren Yuan's nine-foot height was quite eye-catching. Of course, there were a lot of people in Tokyo, so while nine feet would be surprising, it wouldn't be particularly conspicuous.

But there weren't many people on the bridge at that time, so Ren Yuan, being a big guy, could see everything clearly from the painted boat.

"Xiang'er, go and invite those two people over, especially the tall one, you must invite him."

The veiled woman pointed at Ren Yuan and Shi Qian, then spoke to her maid. Clearly, she was the owner of the pleasure boat, but her invitation to Ren Yuan and Shi Qian surprised the maid.

"Ah, sister, these two don't seem like refined scholars. They don't quite fit the rules of our pleasure boat, do they?"

"Rules are made by people. If I want to see someone, I can. Go ahead."

The woman gave the instructions gently, but the firmness in her tone was clear to everyone.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

The maid turned around and ran off, leaving the woman alone on the painted boat, watching Ren Yuan and Shi Qian... oh no, just watching Ren Yuan.

"Let's go, this road probably won't work."

Ren Yuan scratched his head; he was ready to give up.

Shi Qian had no choice. In fact, the pleasure boat was indeed a good idea!

But they don't know anyone!

"Let me tell you, we absolutely need to have people in Tokyo City from now on, otherwise it will be inconvenient to do anything."

Ren Yuan seized the opportunity and also gave Shi Qian a lecture.

But just then, a very cute little maid with a round face came up in front of them and stopped them.

"Young lady, who are you looking for?" Shi Qian asked curiously.

The little girl looked at Shi Qian, then at Ren Yuan, and even stood on tiptoe and stretched out her hand to compare her height in the air.

"Miss, is there something you need?"

Ren Yuan was amused and leaned down slightly to ask.

"Oh, it's you guys. My sister wants to see you. Come with me."

The little maid said, her chubby cheeks puffed out.

"Haha, girl, stop fooling around. Who is your sister? I don't know her either."

Ren Yuan and Shi Qian exchanged a glance, their eyes conveying the same message:

"Is this someone you know?"

"Hey, big guy, it's mainly you we need to do, hurry up and go."

"Hey, brother, did you hear that? It's you."

Shi Qian crossed his arms in front of him and said with a smile.

Ren Yuan was taken aback. "Do I know any women in Tokyo?" "No!"

"No, little girl, who is your older sister, and where is she?"

“My sister is over there.”

The little girl pointed, and Ren Yuan and Shi Qian looked in the direction she was pointing, and they were both dumbfounded.

Isn't that the largest pleasure boat on the Bian River?

Shi Qian was even more surprised!

"Brother! You actually know the people on the pleasure boat!!"
