Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Xiao Jiahui! What have you done to my daughter?"

Looking at Cheng Wanli's appearance, Ren Yuan couldn't help but sigh. He never expected that Cheng Wanli was also a doting father to his daughter!

“Prefect Cheng, Wan’er is perfectly safe in Dongping Prefecture. I’m not the kind of person who would abandon her for her own safety.”

Xiao Jiahui came to Cheng Wanli's side and said very seriously.

"How long have you known my daughter?!"

Cheng Wanli stared at Xiao Jiasui. He never imagined that his little cabbage would be targeted by someone without his knowledge.

"To be honest, we've known each other for a while now."

"A period of time? How long is a period of time?"

Cheng Wanli really didn't know what to say. How long had he been in Dongping Prefecture? Could it be that his daughter was already being targeted as soon as he arrived?

"Big brother, big brother, are you alright?"

Wang Bing rushed over and checked his elder brother over. He found that apart from some dust on his body, there were no other problems.

"It's alright, second brother, you've come at the right time. Let me tell you..."

Just as Cheng Wanli was about to say something, he suddenly seemed to realize something, took two steps back, and looked Wang Bing up and down.

"Wait a minute, second brother, didn't you go after Xiao Jiahui? How come you came with him?"

"I……"

Wang Bing was about to say something, but suddenly found himself speechless.

What are you going to say? That you and Xiao Jiahui hit it off immediately? So you had a friendly sparring match, and neither of you got hurt?

Who would believe this?

Even he himself doesn't believe it!

"Second brother, you, you wouldn't..."

Cheng Wanli's voice trembled. He never dreamed that his second brother would have the possibility of defecting to the enemy!

"Brother, I've known Xiao Jiasui for a long time."

Wang Bing said weakly.

"Very early? How early is that? Why didn't you tell me!"

Cheng Wanli expressed his disbelief, saying, "You're my second brother! My dearest and most trusted second brother! How could you, how could you..."

“Brother, I also met him when I was escorting Wan’er. You know, when we first arrived in Dongping Prefecture, Wan’er went to help at the refugee resettlement site. She encountered two troubles, and those two troubles were actually solved by Xiao Jiasui.”

Wang Bing had no choice but to tell the truth.

"What? He saved Wan'er? Not you?"

Cheng Wanli was shocked. How could this be?

"It really is him, brother! He's Wan'er's savior, twice!"

Wang Bing specifically emphasized that Xiao Jiasui had done Cheng Wan'er a great favor.

"So later on, the two of them would sometimes meet at the refugee resettlement site, chat, and drink tea together. In this situation, what do you think I could do, brother?"

"Your brother knows Wan'er's personality. Once she's made up her mind about something, no one can persuade her otherwise."

"As for this Xiao Jiahui, his martial arts skills are no less than mine. I tried to stop him, but I failed."

"Later, I saw that the two of them were having a good chat, so I thought I'd tell you about it another day."

"And before we even found an opportunity, we ended up at Liangshan..."

Well, Wang Bing's words are quite eloquent. In short, it means, "Your daughter likes it, and I can't beat her, so you can't blame me."

"You, you guys..."

Cheng Wanli was speechless for a moment. He really didn't expect that his proud daughter had been having an affair with a powerful man!

“Um, Prefect Cheng, I feel I need to say something.”

Ren Yuan stepped forward at this moment. As the leader, he felt it was necessary to support his brothers!

"First of all, my brother and your daughter are mutually attracted. There's no problem with the attraction and communication between two young people, right?"

"Secondly, my brother is a true descendant of the Southern Liang Dynasty, the direct descendant of the Prince of Shixing Zhongwu! In terms of the nobility of his status, my brother is second to none! Although your family is also a scholarly family, in terms of lineage, it is not necessarily better than my brother's!"

"Thirdly, you are an official of the Zhao Song dynasty, a figure of the court, but the Zhao Song dynasty is just that—not a great unified dynasty. Don't take it too seriously. It's not even as good as my Liangshan!"

Ren Yuan rattled off three reasons in one breath, leaving Cheng Wanli utterly speechless. Old Cheng blushed and broke down:

"What do you mean by not being a unified dynasty? My Great Song Dynasty commands respect across the four seas and intimidates the barbarians..."

"Stop, stop, stop! Do you really believe any of this? 'Subduing the world'? Who would submit to that? The Liao people? The Tangut people? Or the Dali people?"

Ren Yuan interrupted Cheng Wanli without any politeness. This old Cheng is good in every way, except when he speaks to Zhao Song, he tends to talk nonsense.

"Well, that's still better than your Liangshan bandits! At least my Great Song Dynasty has four hundred military prefectures and counties! How big is your Liangshan?! A mere eight hundred li of water! And you dare to shamelessly claim that you are stronger than the Great Song Dynasty?"

Cheng Wanli's face turned bright red, almost steaming, when Ren Yuan approached him and whispered something.

“Our Liangshan is more than eight hundred li in circumference. Prefect Cheng, do you dare to make a bet with me?”

"What do you want to bet on?"

Cheng Wanli looked at Ren Yuan, feeling that Ren Yuan wanted to frame him, but he had no evidence.

"I bet my Liangshan Mountain is stronger than the Great Song Dynasty!"

"How to bet?"

Upon hearing Ren Yuan's words, Cheng Wanli initially intended to refuse outright, but his inner curiosity compelled him to ask.

What exactly made a bandit leader so confident that he dared to gamble with him on this matter?

"It's very simple. In a few days, I will arrange for you to go to a place. Go there and take a look. After you see it, I believe you will definitely have your answer."

Ren Yuan looked completely confident.

"Hmph, don't be so confident. Then tell me, what's the stake?"

Cheng Wanli disliked Ren Yuan's expression very much, because it made him feel that Ren Yuan was looking down on both him and the Song Dynasty.

"The bet... is you!"

Ren Yuan pretended to think for a moment, then suddenly pointed at Cheng Wanli and said.

"Me? What do you mean?"

Cheng Wanli was taken aback. What was he going to do?

"If I win, you'll stay at Liangshan and work for me from now on. If I lose, you'll return to the Song court, although I don't think I'll lose."

"Are you so confident?"

Upon hearing that he could return, Cheng Wanli immediately had an idea.

“Prefect Cheng, you are actually my prisoner too. It was Tong Guan who defeated you to me! You had no choice.”

Ren Yuan looked at Cheng Wanli calmly.

"But, considering you're my brother's future father-in-law, I don't mind giving you a chance."

"Okay! It's a deal! I'll go check out the place you mentioned! But I don't know if you'll keep your word!"

Cheng Wanli's competitive spirit was also aroused. He really didn't believe that the power of a bandit could be that strong!

"It's a deal. As for credibility, Prefect Cheng, Liangshan's credibility in Shandong is definitely stronger than your imperial court's!"

At this moment, Ren Yuan exuded an overwhelming aura of dominance!

"Prefect Cheng, just wait to surrender!"

PS: August 15th, 79 years ago, was the day Japan announced its unconditional surrender. We must remember the peace won with the blood of countless predecessors. The fact that you can enjoy reading novels here today is inseparable from the sacrifices of those who came before us. Therefore, we pay tribute to them! And let us remember this day!
