Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

A large cruise ship is sailing on the water.

On the large ship, Ren Yuan and the others were either sitting or standing, enjoying the scenery along the way.

However, this kind of scenery appreciation isn't really suitable for someone like Mi Sheng.

So Mi Sheng was pulling Shan Shiqi along, trying to get Shan Shiqi to teach him how to play chess.

Well, this is indeed putting Shan Shiqi in a difficult position.

"No, Old Black, this horse can't walk like that, it jumps! It won't jump over like that!"

"Why?"

Mi Sheng looked puzzled.

"Why? Well, you know what a tripwire is, right? This spot is a tripwire, so you can't get over it! Do you understand?"

Shan Shiqi tried his best to explain it to his good brother.

"Oh? I understand."

Mi Sheng seemed to understand but not quite, and then started fiddling with it again.

"No, that's not how you fire a cannon! You have to skip one!"

"We have to skip one more? Aren't cannons just fired anywhere?"

"No, on the chessboard, there has to be one space between them, that's how it's decided, understand?"

"Oh, then this cannon is really boring."

……

It was clear that Shan Shiqi was desperate. He looked around for Xiao Jiasui because he felt that only Xiao Jiasui could teach Mi Sheng.

However, Xiao Jiahui was not free at the moment, because he was also slacking off. At this moment, he covered his face with a feather fan and comfortably lay on a bench to sunbathe.

"Old Xiao, we're not far from Suzhou now, are we?"

Ren Yuan was also lying on a bench next to Xiao Jiahui. Ren Yuan was a little uncomfortable with it. He decided that when he got back, he would ask Mo Shifang and his wife if they could make the later recliner.

"almost."

Upon hearing Ren Yuan's question, Xiao Jiasui slightly removed the feather fan from his face, raised his upper body to look at the water and the situation on both banks, and then spoke.

"Your answer is very perfunctory."

Ren Yuan shook his head helplessly. Xiao Jiasui was openly slacking off right next to him, and he couldn't say anything to her.

"Brother, I finally managed to get out and rest with you, and you still want me to do chores?"

Hsiao Chia-hui said with an "innocent" look that she didn't come south to play this time.

"Do you mean you usually do a lot of work?"

Ren Yuan looked incredulous. "Xiao Jiahui, how could you have the nerve to say something like that?"

If the Liangshan strategist group were to be awarded the title of model worker, it would definitely have nothing to do with Xiao Jiasui.

"What I mean is, since you've let me out, I might as well enjoy myself! Brother, I've heard the food in Suzhou is pretty good? How about I treat you when we get to the city?"

Xiao Jiahui knew, of course, that she wasn't the one who did the most work, so she smiled and changed the subject.

"Brothers, did you hear that? Military Advisor Xiao is going to treat us to a feast after he enters the city!"

But Ren Yuan wasn't going to let this kid get away with it so easily, so he decisively shouted at everyone on the ship!

"What? Strategist Xiao is treating us to a meal?"

"Strategist Xiao is actually going to treat us to a meal?"

Upon hearing Ren Yuan's call, all the brothers stopped what they were doing. Mi Sheng, who had been studying chess with a worried expression, suddenly changed his demeanor!

He left the chessboard and ran towards Xiao Jiahui!

"Strategist! Strategist! Can I eat more?"

"Old Hei, come back here! Who asks someone to teach them chess and then runs away halfway through?!"

Shan Shiqi was both angry and amused. His good brother was really a lovable guy, but Shan Shiqi couldn't do anything about him because Mi Sheng's martial arts skills were indeed a bit better than his.

Never mind, since that's how it is...

Shan Shiqi also left the chessboard and moved closer to Xiao Jiahui!

"Strategist, what would you like us to eat?"

If you can't beat them, join them. Anyway, there aren't many opportunities to screw over your own strategist Xiao, so don't miss out!

Everyone was chatting and laughing together, and sometimes men's happiness is that simple.

However, happy times are sometimes easily interrupted, like right now:

"Report! Chieftain! All leaders, a ship is approaching us from the front! It looks like it's heading straight for us!"

A Liangshan soldier on lookout duty rushed over to report.

"Oh? A boat is heading towards us?"

The Liangshan leaders stopped their fighting.

"Fang La is indeed restless."

Ren Yuan got up from his chair and led the way to the bow of the ship, with his brothers following closely behind.

"Huh, is that all the people who came?"

Xiao Jiahui took out his telescope, looked at the bow of the boat, and was somewhat surprised.

"Strategist, are there very few people who have come?"

Mi Sheng licked his lips; clearly, he was eager to try.

“Brother, there aren’t many people here, and the boat isn’t big either. It looks like an outpost.”

"Fang La himself didn't come."

Ren Yuan also put down the telescope in his hand. He thought Fang La would come in person. No fun.

“That’s natural. Fang La is, after all, the leader of the Ming Cult, and his status is equal to that of my brother. Even if he wanted to compete with my brother, he certainly wouldn’t make a move now.”

Xiao Jiahui watched the ship getting closer and closer, then turned and asked.

"Brothers, who's willing to take care of these guys for me?"

"me!"

They were particularly proactive.

"Brother Mi Sheng, this is on the water! You're trying to steal from us in a water battle?"

Ruan Xiaoqi also came out this time, and when he saw the warships approaching, he was eager to try.

"That's right, Brother Mi Sheng, let our navy handle the naval battles."

Zhang Shun also came down the mountain this time. Like Ruan Xiaoqi, he was eager to try his luck when he saw Fang La's army's small boats.

"No, Xiao Qi, Brother Zhang Shun, what's wrong with a water battle? I can do a water battle too."

Mi Sheng said that just because he's not a paid troll doesn't mean he can't be the first to go.

"Alright, no need to argue anymore. The other ship has come on its own. Xiao Qi and Zhang Shun, you don't need to go into the water."

Lin Chong stopped the group, realizing that Fang La's ships hadn't slowed down and were preparing to ram them directly.

"Senior Brother, are they trying to ram us? We're a big ship, you know."

When Ren Yuan heard Lin Chong say that Fang La's men were about to ram the boats, he was very surprised and turned his head back to look at the boats.

“Junior brother, you need to step back. Although we don’t know if these people are Ming Cult assassins, judging from their current appearance, they are not here with good intentions. As the leader of Liangshan, you cannot afford any accidents.”

Lin Chong stood in front of Ren Yuan, fully focused on guarding against a sneak attack by Fang La's men.

"What a pity, this boat is a rented pleasure boat and it doesn't have any weapons. If it were our own Liangshan warships, we could have taken care of them by now."

"Everyone, get ready to board the ship and protect the chieftain! The leaders are at the front, the ordinary soldiers are in the middle, and the chieftain and strategist Xiao are at the back. Lü Fang! Guo Sheng! Keep an eye on the chieftain and don't let him go into battle. Do you understand?"

Lin Chong gave orders to everyone, especially giving special instructions to Lü Fang and Guo Sheng, the two leaders of his personal guards.

Lü Fang and Guo Sheng both agreed immediately, and then said to Ren Yuan:

"Brother, how about we step back a bit? You don't want to see us both get scolded, do you?"

"Yeah, brother, we definitely can't stop you, but if you go up there later, the instructor will scold us."

Seeing the pitiful looks on Lü Fang and Guo Sheng, Ren Yuan could only suppress his urge to take action and reluctantly retreated into the cabin.

Meanwhile, on the Ming Cult's ship, Wu Yingxing and Chen Gutong were leading the charge, boosting morale for everyone.

"Brothers! This is Ming Cult territory! Get the Liangshan people out!"

"Ren Yuan is not good at naval warfare! The leader said that whoever captures him will become the Dharma King of the Ming Cult!"

"Move the boat closer! Move the boat closer!"

An informal naval battle has begun...
