Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Ahem, Brother Xu Ning, Xu Sheng's child is already over two years old. Your arrival at this time... is it...?"

Lin Chong certainly knew what Xu Ning had come for.

Like him, they were all looking for a way out for their families.

"Brother Lin, my dear brother, how can you say that to me? Your child isn't even born yet, and you're already here!"

Xu Ning looked at Lin Chong and said with a smile.

"Sigh... Hahaha, alright, let's go take a look first."

Lin Chong could only smile. In fact, they were worrying ahead of time. After all, they didn't even know whether Ren Yuan's child was a boy or a girl. They were indeed thinking too much.

Meanwhile, in the dining hall, Ren Yuan was nervously rubbing his hands, waiting for the doctors' conclusions.

An Daoquan has already taken the pulse; now it's Huawei's turn to take the pulse. As a former imperial physician, Huawei did this quite a bit when it was young; it's part of its expertise.

"Yuntao, you come too."

After Huawei finished, he gestured for the doctor surnamed Bi to try it as well. However, this doctor surnamed Bi was quite skilled; he directly used the "suspended thread pulse diagnosis."

"Brother, don't be surprised. Gynecologists are different from us. They mostly see all kinds of wealthy women, so the technique of 'pulse diagnosis by thread' is essential for them. Actually, this technique isn't that advanced; it just looks better when used."

Seeing Ren Yuan's surprise, An Daoquan immediately began to explain.

That's exactly what I meant; it sounded a bit... off.

"A miracle doctor! How come I've never seen you or Senior Hua use it?"

“Brother, Senior Hua and I are past the age of using this. Of course, if you want to see it, you can do so anytime.”

An Daoquan's implication was that... true masters never deliberately show off their skills.

"Masters, I have reached a conclusion."

Bi Yuntao is skilled in gynecology, but he looks younger than An Daoquan, so he treats An Daoquan and Huawei with the respect due to a junior.

"Write it all down on paper, then show it to everyone?"

Huawei suggested, and the three of them nodded, turned their backs, wrote on their own pieces of paper, and then turned around again to show the words on their papers.

Those are three "have" characters!

"Miracle doctor, this is..."

Ren Yuan had just started to speak when he was interrupted by the words of the three people.

Congratulations, brother!

"Congratulations, Chieftain!"

"Congratulations, Your Highness!"

Yes, three people, three different versions of the story.

An Daoquan and Ren Yuan had a good relationship, and although Ren Yuan had already become king, most of the brothers in the village still called him brother in private.

This situation may only disappear after Ren Yuan officially declares himself emperor.

Huawei calls Ren Yuan "chieftain" mainly because he used to be a royal physician and has been addressed as "prince" and "emperor" too many times. Now he just wants to focus on improving his medical skills, because if he doesn't hurry up, An Daoquan will really surpass him. So, he still calls Ren Yuan the same thing he used to call him.

The final title of "Prince" came from Bi Yuntao. This is how most of the common people in Liangshan now address Ren Yuan. After all, everyone knows that the chieftain has become a king, so it would be a bit impolite to still call him chieftain. Calling him "Prince" is much better and more affectionate!

"Yun Tao, you tell us."

An Daoquan had a high opinion of Bi Yuntao. This gynecological expert was indeed more professional than him and Huawei in gynecology. If his brother became emperor in the future, Bi Yuntao would be even more important.

"Yes, Your Highness, the Princess Consort is indeed pregnant. Although it hasn't been long, it should be more than twenty days."

Bi Yuntao was very excited; he never imagined that one day he would actually be treating the prince and princess.

"Can you tell if it's a man or a woman?"

Zhou Tong, who was listening from the side, was quite anxious and asked the question eagerly.

"Old immortal, you still can't see this? The number of days is too short."

Because Ren Yuan was the reincarnation of the Ziwei Emperor on the stone tablet, and Lin Chong and Lu Junyi were also celestial beings descended to earth, their master Zhou Tong was respectfully called the Old Immortal by everyone in Liangshan.

After all, firstly, Zhou Tong was indeed old; secondly, Zhou Tong looked like a wise and venerable old man; and thirdly, how could a man in his seventies defeat all the masters of Liangshan and make them submit? What else could he be but a god?

"Master, it doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl, I like them either way."

Ren Yuan said that this is not important, and to be honest, Ren Yuan considers himself a doting father to his daughter, and he would prefer to have a little girl.

"You silly boy."

Zhou Tong flicked Ren Yuan's forehead.

“Under normal circumstances, Master would know that whether it’s a boy or a girl doesn’t matter. But what time is it now? The Dayi Kingdom has just been established, and you’re about to cross the border to Goryeo and launch a northern expedition against the Jurchens. At this time, having offspring versus not having offspring makes a huge difference, you know!”

Zhou Tong's words actually make a lot of sense. In this historical context, Ren Yuan needed a son; only in this way could his rule be more stable.

"Master, I know, but this is not something I can control, right?"

Ren Yuan knew he couldn't explain the so-called chromosome issue to Zhou Tong, and that having a boy or a girl was indeed a matter of probability. Before Ren Yuan transmigrated, no one could guarantee that a naturally conceived child would get what they wanted.

"You little rascal... Ah, Xiao Hua, Master isn't trying to put pressure on you, relax a bit. Master is just talking about this mischievous monkey."

Zhou Tong really wanted to kick Ren Yuan, but seeing Hua Yun looking worried, he quickly comforted her as well.

"Little sister, it's alright, it's all fate, right?"

Hua Rong then came up to comfort his younger sister. Emotionally, he really hoped that his sister's first child would be a boy, because that would make him the eldest son and give his sister a more secure position.

However, this is something that can't be forced. If it's a daughter, then even a princess would be fine!

Moreover, Hua Rong vaguely remembered that Ren Yuan had said he preferred his daughter.

Just then, Lin Chong and Xu Ning walked in side by side.

"Junior brother, congratulations!"

"Brother, congratulations!"

"Senior brother, Teacher Xu, thank you so much! By the way, why did you two come together?"

Ren Yuan is very happy now. He has a child and can't wait to tell everyone, so he welcomes all those who come to congratulate him.

But... Senior Brother, it's not right that you appeared with Teacher Xu. Something's very wrong.

Ren Yuan looked at the two of them again, and then suddenly realized something!

"No way, senior brother, Teacher Xu, you're not telling me you're here to propose marriage?"

"This……"

Lin Chong and Xu Ning exchanged glances but remained silent, creating a sudden awkward atmosphere.

Ren Yuan was even more dumbfounded. No, I don't even know if it's a son or a daughter, and you guys are already coming up to propose marriage?

If it's a daughter, then it's a potted plant that I've been growing. Now you're trying to take it away with the pot before I've even received it?

Where is my Three-Pointed Knife? Where is my Dragon-Slaying Mace?
