Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Minister Eun-sung, what do you mean?"

Cheng Wanli was somewhat puzzled. If his benefactor had not suffered any losses, why would he be asked to lead his troops here?

"It means that the leader of Liangshan has taken a liking to you, while I have unfortunately been defeated and captured."

“That brat Ren Yuan said that if I want to leave Liangshan and return to the imperial court, I have to bring you to Liangshan. I had no choice but to call you here.”

Tong Guan said he was also helpless, but if Lao Cheng didn't come, he really couldn't leave.

"My lord, why did Liangshan send me here?"

Cheng Wanli truly didn't understand.

"How should I know? But that's what that brat Ren Yuan said!"

Tong Guan said, "He doesn't know either!"

"Well, Tong Guan, now that Prefect Cheng has arrived, you may leave."

Zhang Shun walked over and, while preparing to load Cheng Wanli onto the ship, spoke to Tong Guan.

"Then at least give me a boat!"

Tong Guan was very unhappy and said, "You won't even give me a single ship, and you want me to leave?"

"What do you need a boat for? This is Liangshan Ferry. We're boarding the boat to go back to the mountain. What about you?"

Zhang Shun didn't understand.

"I want to travel back to the capital by water! You have a problem with that?!"

Tong Guan cursed and swore, "I've already gotten Cheng Wanli for you, and you won't even give me a boat?"

"There is no boat available. Tong Shumi is of noble birth and I don't think he can travel by boat. You'll have to figure something out yourself."

Zhang Shun said, "Tong Guan, you bastard, I'm not going to put up with you!"

"You bastards! Is this how Ren Yuan ordered you to treat me? I have a cooperation agreement with him! Are you going to disobey Ren Yuan's orders? Are you going to pretend to comply while secretly defying him?"

"If you don't let me return to the capital smoothly, don't blame me for what happens later..."

Tong Guan gritted his teeth. If it weren't for the fact that Zhang Shun had drowned him once before, leaving him with a lingering trauma, Tong Guan would have even prepared to fight Zhang Shun again.

"Hmph, someone, give Tong Shumi some silver and tell him to get lost."

Zhang Shun was originally too lazy to pay attention to Tong Guan, but considering that Tong Guan had indeed reached some cooperation agreements with Liangshan, Zhang Shun endured it for the sake of his brother's important matter!

Give Tong Guan some money and get rid of him!

"Hmph! That's pretty much it!"

Although Tong Guan was still very uncomfortable, he had to maintain a facade of not completely breaking off relations with Zhang Shun.

"Favor, grace!"

Cheng Wanli watched as Tong Guan turned and left, not wanting to take him with him at all, and he really couldn't believe it.

Your Excellency, a high-ranking Privy Councilor, is actually so frightened by a group of Liangshan bandits?

Aren't you...aren't you somewhat ashamed of the imperial court?

But Tong Guan acted as if he hadn't heard Cheng Wanli's voice. After taking some silver from the Liangshan junior officer, he turned around and ran away, completely ignoring Cheng Wanli.

"Prefect Cheng, let's go up the mountain."

Zhang Shun respectfully invited Cheng Wanli to board the ship. Although Cheng Wanli was reluctant, he had no choice but to board this pirate ship at this point!

However, Cheng Wanli observed a small detail: for some reason, the people of Liangshan actually respected him more than their benefactor.

"This...this leader, may I ask why you treat me with more respect than you treated my benefactor? Are you perhaps planning to recruit me?"

Cheng Wanli asked tentatively.

"Prefect Cheng, you should thank Miss Cheng."

Zhang Shun simply put it bluntly.

"Wan'er? What's going on! You Liangshan people haven't kidnapped me enough? Do you want to kidnap my daughter too?"

"Kidnapping me is one thing, but if you try to harm Wan'er, I'll fight you to the death! She's just a child! How could you Liangshan be so ruthless!"

But to Zhang Shun's surprise, as soon as Cheng Wan'er was mentioned, Cheng Wanli instantly turned into a furious old lion!

“Um… Magistrate Cheng, please calm down a bit. My strategist Xiao is friends with your daughter, so you are also a friend of Liangshan.”

Zhang Shun quickly offered an explanation.

"Friends?! What friends! Who is my daughter? She's a lady from a respectable family! And what about you?"

"You bunch of scoundrels, you deceived Wan'er using some unknown means, and now you shamelessly call yourselves friends! Shameless! Utterly shameless!"

If Ren Yuan were to see Cheng Wanli's roar, he would be very familiar with it.

Isn't this just the middle-aged man's anger directed at the blond guy who parked his will-o'-the-wisp downstairs?

"Prefect Cheng, our strategist and your daughter are truly friends. Moreover, our strategist is skilled in both literature and martial arts, and comes from a noble family! You are also a scholar, so how can you accuse him of being shameless without any evidence?"

"That's my daughter! Can't I say anything?! Fine! Tell me! Which strategist from Liangshan is it?!"

Cheng Wanli was angry. Which one of the Liangshan people had taken a fancy to his little darling?

"I am the Lord of the Greedy Wolf Star of Liangshan! My brother, the Pharmacist Xiao Jiasui!"

"Xiao Jiahui? What kind of nonsense is this..."

Just as Cheng Wanli was about to continue his tirade, he suddenly realized that the name sounded familiar.

It seems like only a short time ago, somewhere, I just heard this name!

"Is the Xiao Jiasui you just mentioned the young man who single-handedly stopped me earlier? The one who stopped me in that valley over there?"

Soon, Cheng Wanli remembered that the guy who had single-handedly stopped them in the valley earlier seemed to have this name!

"That's right, our stronghold only has one strategist, Xiao! Of course, we don't know what the strategist is specifically in charge of today."

Zhang Shun said

"Hmm...that guy...humph, he doesn't learn anything good, but insists on learning to rebel? He's really gone astray!"

Cheng Wanli reprimanded, but he himself did not realize that when he reprimanded Xiao Jiasui, his emotions were not as agitated as before.

Zhang Shun remained silent. After all, this Prefect Cheng was likely to be the future father-in-law of Military Advisor Xiao, so there were some things he couldn't say.

Seeing that Zhang Shun had quieted down, Cheng Wanli also stopped talking. The warship continued forward and finally arrived at Jinshatan Beach smoothly.

"Prefect Cheng, please go and wait a moment."

When Zhang Shun didn't see anyone at the destination, he gestured for Cheng Wanli to wait.

Cheng Wanli was also very angry, so after getting off the boat, he plopped down on a rock on the shore and looked in the direction the boat might have come from.

They waited for almost half an hour, and finally, the Liangshan fleet appeared!

"Whoosh!"

Upon seeing the large ship of Liangshan, Cheng Wanli rushed aboard immediately!

"Xiao Jiahui! Xiao Jiahui, where are you? Come out here!"

"Xiao Jiahui! You have the guts to seduce my daughter, but you don't have the guts to come out?"

……

Hearing Cheng Wanli loudly searching for Xiao Jiasui on the shore, everyone on the boat turned their gaze toward Xiao Jiasui.

The meaning was quite clear: strategist, you caused this mess, so you'd better deal with it yourself!

"Prefect Cheng! Xiao Jiahui is here! Please give me your guidance."

At this moment, Xiao Jiahui stood up generously, took the initiative to come to the edge of the boat, and greeted Cheng Wanli.

When Cheng Wanli saw this familiar figure, he felt a mix of emotions.

However, Cheng Wanli wouldn't hold back when it came to nagging!

"Xiao Jiahui, you know Wan'er? What have you done? Swear to Liangshan that you won't lie, or you'll be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"

……
