Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Brother Wenbin, you've kept me waiting for so long!"

Shi Wenbin did indeed arrive at Jeju Island a few days later with the vanguard of Liangshan.

As soon as he arrived on the island, Qiu Yu went up to him and gave him a big hug!

"Brother Qiu, be gentle, be gentle..."

Shi Wenbin was a little out of breath from Qiu Yu's bear hug. He said, "Brother, what's wrong with you? You've only been in Jeju Island for a short time, how come you've become so strong?"

"Brother Wenbin, your health really isn't good."

Qiu Yu released Shi Wenbin and then said with a smile.

"How dare you say that to me? You were the same before you came to Jeju Island!"

Shi Wenbin looked at Qiu Yu, and he was also somewhat incredulous.

Because Qiu Yu, like him, was just an ordinary scholar, and the two were similar in stature and physical condition.

But just now, when Qiu Yu hugged him tightly, Shi Wenbin clearly felt that Qiu Yu's arms were all muscles!

"Don't worry, you'll be just like me soon on Jeju Island."

Qiu Yu smiled at Shi Wenbin, knowing there was a lot to do on Jeju Island. Want to enjoy himself here? No way!

Qiu Yu has been running around in the mountains and fields every day, working alongside the people, and he has long since developed muscles!

"What kind of magic does this place have that has turned you into this state?"

Shi Wenbin said he was very confused. Wasn't his friend supposed to be a spy in Liangshan? How did he end up getting himself killed while spying?

"Don't feel lost. Don't worry, don't you know me? All the administrative matters here are being handled according to my instructions. You don't need to worry about anything, just follow my plan."

When Qiu Yu saw that Shi Wenbin was confused, he thought that he didn't know what to do next, so he explained it to him very enthusiastically.

"No, I just want to ask you, after you went to Liangshan, why did you disappear without a trace? Why didn't you let me know you were safe?"

Shi Wenbin felt a little resentful towards Qiu Yu, thinking to himself, "I was so worried about you, and you're just living a comfortable life as the island's owner?!"

Do you have any conscience at all?!

“Let me tell you, let’s not talk about this anymore. As soon as I went up the mountain, oh no, before I even officially went up the mountain, I was exposed.”

When Qiu Yu heard Shi Wenbin talk about his undercover work, he blushed.

There was nothing I could do; my undercover operation back then was a complete failure.

Whose spy gets recognized as soon as they arrive at their destination?!

"So they didn't punish you? And they even made you the county magistrate?"

Shi Wenbin was somewhat incredulous. No, when did Liangshan become so easy to talk to?

"Yes, the strategists didn't make things difficult for me. They just sent me to this island. You didn't expect that, did you? I didn't expect it either. It's like a dream."

Looking back now, Qiu Yu also feels that he was really lucky.

Luckily, I came to Liangshan as a spy, otherwise I wouldn't be in this situation now!

"No, are you sure we're talking about Liangshan? When they came to my place, it was..."

Shi Wenbin was somewhat depressed. He briefly recounted to Qiu Yu what had happened when Liangshan came to the county government, while feeling rather frustrated.

No, if Liangshan was so respectful to scholars, then why did they suddenly appear in my county office and strip me of my official robes?

Can't you guys just talk things out properly? If you did, I... I could do it...

Why do people from Liangshan have two faces? Hmph, I'm not happy.

"Well, Brother Wenbin, it's probably because when I went up the mountain, the village was short of people, so it went relatively smoothly."

After hearing Shi Wenbin's words, Qiu Yu had nothing to say but that Shi Wenbin's luck was... not very good.

"Sigh, your chieftain is really something now. He even declared himself king on stage the other day. I never expected that."

Shi Wenbin also went to see Ren Yuan's coronation ceremony that day, and to be honest, he was deeply shocked.

Because he really didn't expect that Ren Yuan, a mere bandit, would actually become king by making steady progress year after year!

As for Qiu Yu, he is now a key minister of the new dynasty thanks to his merits!

Looking at myself, I'm still just a county magistrate.

Moreover, a significant reason why he was able to become the county magistrate was because the previous magistrate was a good friend of his…

The difference in treatment is truly night and day!

“Brother Wenbin, the people of Jeju Island are now in your care. I believe that with your abilities, you will soon be able to settle them in a very orderly manner.”

"Moreover, with Brother Wenbin's abilities, being a county magistrate is just the beginning. My Dayi currently has eight counties in Goryeo, and there are many vacancies for county governors. Brother Wenbin, do a good job, and you will have a place in one of the eight counties of Goryeo in the future!"

Listen to this! Qiu Yu himself only just found out he was going to Jeju Island, and now he dares to make empty promises to others!

Are you saying that you'll continue to rise in rank and I'll take over your position?

Shi Wenbin rolled his eyes at Qiu Yu. This guy was so smug right now, it was really infuriating!

If this guy hadn't gotten even stronger, Shi Wenbin probably wouldn't have been able to beat him now, and he would definitely have been ready to go for it!

"It's not impossible, anyway, I think the two of us would work together really well..."

Besides Shi Wenbin, there is another person in the vanguard of Liangshan who is currently searching for people on the island.

He is Xiao Jiasui, the strategist of Liangshan, who is currently searching all over the mountains for Cheng Wanli and Wang Bing.

"Strategist, what are you looking for?"

Mi Sheng came with Xiao Jiahui this time and was responsible for protecting Xiao Jiahui's safety along the way.

"Old Black, stop following me around."

Hsiao Chia-hui said, "I'm going to talk to my future father-in-law. What's the meaning of you, a big black man, following me around?"

"Strategist, my brother said I'm a lucky charm. No matter what you do, as long as you take me with you, you're sure to have good luck!"

Mi Sheng declared that he was a lucky charm! He had captured quite a few important figures under his command!

"If you insist on saying that, then it is indeed true."

Xiao Jiahui thought about it and realized that Mi Sheng made a lot of sense. He was indeed the kind of person with a lucky star personality, the kind who would get credit even if he was hiding in the bushes.

"So, strategist, where are you going now?"

Mi Sheng said, "Since I'm so lucky, why don't you tell me what you're going to do?"

"I'm going to find Wan'er's father, Prefect Cheng Wancheng, and Chief Steward Wang Bing."

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Jiahui told Mi Sheng about her upcoming trip.

"Hey? Me too! Me too!"

Mi Sheng was extremely excited when she heard this!

Of course he knew the story between Xiao Jiahui and Cheng Wan'er; he had put in a lot of effort back then!

After Cheng Wanli was sent to Jeju Island by Liangshan, Cheng Wan'er and her maid Jiu'er were taken to the Liangshan family compound and lived in the courtyard next to Hu Sanniang. Although it had not been officially announced, everyone knew that she was Xiao Junshi's future wife, so it was only natural for her to live in the family compound.

"I went to visit Wan'er's father, what's the meaning of you coming along?"

Xiao Jiahui looked at Mi Sheng with amusement.

"I'll be the strategist's bodyguard!"

Mi Sheng said in a very serious tone.

“It’s certainly no problem for the strategist to go find his future father-in-law, but he can’t go alone, especially since there’s Wang Bing on the other side. It’s two against one, so you’re at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.”

“But it’s different if I go with you. If I’m there, it’ll be at least two against two, so we’ll have the same number of people! That way, even if we’re not good at reasoning, we can still use our skills to convince Cheng Wanli and make him marry Miss Cheng to the strategist!”

"Old Hei, I'm supposed to be here to propose marriage, but why do you sound like you're trying to steal the bride?"

Xiao Jiahui shook her head slightly. These are all scholars; talking about kidnapping a bride is too crude.

"Strategist, let me ask you this: is kidnapping a bride effective? I think if we can use force, we should try to avoid using words."

"Old Hei, let's be polite first, then resort to force. We're not just bandits anymore, we're founding generals of the Dayi Dynasty. We need to be mindful of our etiquette, understand?"

Hsiao Chia-hui's education is a burden.

"Oh, I see. Strategist, you mean to give them a heads-up before the wedding, right? I'll handle that..."

PS: National Day is coming soon, and there's so much going on at school. New teachers still have to observe classes; I observed three long lectures today, and my brain is practically fried. That'll be one update for now. I'll add it to the chapter later if needed. Goodnight everyone!
