Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Brother, who are you talking about?"

Xu Ning was a little curious. It was yet another person named by Ren Yuan. Countless facts had proven that those who could be named by Ren Yuan were no ordinary people.

"Yang Xiong".

Ren Yuan handed the documents in his hand to Xu Ning.

"A prison guard and executioner in Jizhou? A Liao man? Oh wait, a Henan man. How did a Henan man end up in Jizhou?"

Xu Ning looked at Yang Xiong's information and was somewhat surprised. At first glance, he thought he was a Liao person!

But why did Yang Xiong go to Jizhou? It's not that Jizhou was bad, or that people from Henan couldn't go there; it's just that at that time, most of Jizhou was still under the rule of the Liao Dynasty. (For your information: Between 1111 and 1115 AD, most of northern Jizhou was under the jurisdiction of Xijin Prefecture in Nanjing Circuit of the Liao Dynasty, while a small part in the south was under the jurisdiction of the Northern Song Dynasty.)

“I know that. He had an older uncle who was the prefect of Jizhou. He then went to Jizhou to make a living. Later, because he got to know the successor prefect, he was appointed as a clerk.”

Shi Qian added from the side.

"And Brother Xu Ning, have you forgotten that Master Gongsun and Brother Ma Ling are also from Jizhou?"

"Yes, I forgot about it."

Xu Ning scratched the back of his head and then asked Ren Yuan:

"Brother, what's so outstanding about this Yang Xiong?"

Shi Qian also perked up; was his brother's innate knowledge about to be activated again?

"He's just a jinx, always wearing a big hat."

Surprisingly, this time Ren Yuan didn't praise Yang Xiong, but instead said he was unlucky.

"Brother, what do you mean? Is Yang Xiong even more unlucky than Yang Zhi?"

Shi Qian was very curious.

"No, Yang Xiong is quite capable, but he's too cautious and doesn't cause trouble. He's an honest man."

"Look, we can tell from the intelligence from Tianmu that his family background is quite good. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be a problem for someone like him to get married. But do you know what kind of woman he married?"

"Wow, brother, you can already tell that someone is married?"

Shi Qian looked on with admiration. "He truly deserves to be called my brother, who was born with such knowledge! He's absolutely amazing!"

"Brother, who did he marry?"

"He married a widow, who was left behind by one of his colleagues."

Ren Yuan shook his head slightly. To be honest, he didn't know what Yang Xiong was after either.

Pan Qiaoyun's ex-husband, Wang Yashi, was actually Yang Xiong's colleague!

The man had barely died when Yang Xiong married his widow.

Either Pan Qiaoyun is too charming, or... Yang Xiong, have you been eyeing her for a long time?

"widow?"

Xu Ning and Shi Qian were taken aback. It wasn't that there was anything wrong with the widow, but rather that it was rather rare for someone like Yang Xiong to marry a widow.

“Brother, we can’t just say he’s unlucky, can we? Maybe he just likes widows. It’s just a matter of personal preference.”

"But what if he marries a promiscuous widow?"

"Brother, now you even know that people are fickle?"

Shi Qian was shocked again. His brother's innate knowledge was so amazing that it made Tianmu seem useless!

"If nothing unexpected happens, Yang Xiong probably came here because of his wife."

Ren Yuan shook his head. His impression of Yang Xiong was neither good nor bad. In addition, Shi Xiu had joined Liangshan very early in his life, so Ren Yuan was almost certain that Yang Xiong had been cuckolded.

It was worn by a monk... How tragic.

"Shi Qian, go and call him over. He's a capable man, after all. I don't want to see him fall into ruin."

"Yes."

Shi Qian nodded and made a move to leave.

"By the way, it's cold in winter, so use the door."

Ren Yuan gave the instructions again.

"Brother, it's okay, I'm not cold."

Shi Qian patted his chest, looking extremely proud.

"You're not cold, but I'm cold when you open the window!"

Ren Yuan said irritably, and then the next second, a gust of cold wind blew onto his face again.

"That brat, if it weren't for the fact that he married Bai Huang, I would have sealed up the windows of his house."

Ren Yuan shook his head. Shi Qian and Bai Huang had long been in love, but Tianmu had been too busy with other matters to hold a proper wedding.

So before Ren Yuan took a concubine, a ceremony was held for Shi Qian and his wife.

"Brother, could it be that Yang Xiong is here to escape because he committed murder?"

Xu Ning smiled and went over to close the window, then said to Ren Yuan as she closed it.

Xu Ning knew very well that despite Ren Yuan's harsh words towards Shi Qian, he and Shi Qian had a good relationship.

"Very likely. By the way, teachers, is your army still recruiting? How about we check with Yang Xiong later and assign him to your unit?"

Ren Yuan remembered that Xu Ning's Golden Spear Army currently only had Ma Lin as a deputy commander, which was a bit weak in terms of configuration, so he wanted to add another one for him.

“Brother, I’m afraid Yang Xiong won’t be happy if you send my troops who are stationed here to guard the mountain year-round.”

Xu Ning said jokingly.

"Who said that? Everyone knows that your Golden Spear Army is like a hidden tiger in Liangshan, rarely showing itself. If he complains, I'll go and scold him."

Ren Yuan actually felt that Yang Xiong's personality was better suited to Xu Ning, because Yang Xiong was an honest and cautious man. If he worked under a general with an impatient temper, he would probably be disliked to death within two days.

But Xu Ning is different. Among the main generals of Liangshan, Xu Ning has the gentlest temper. He is like the ocean, which is inclusive and can tolerate anyone.

Moreover, Yang Xiong's strength is indeed quite good, which can make up for Ma Lin's lack of combat power.

In addition, Xu Ning's family is very happy and harmonious. If Yang Xiong is placed with Xu Ning, she can give him some advice and perhaps he can get rid of the shadow of the hat.

……

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

Inside the training ground, Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing had already led the way back to the starting point. When they turned around, they found a tall, sweaty, yellow-faced man following behind them.

Although he looked rather gloomy and was panting, this person was indeed the first to come back with the two of them.

Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing exchanged a glance, both of them showing affirmation in their eyes.

"You're a good guy, what's your name?"

Yang Zaixing asked.

"Yang Xiong".

Yang Xiong is now extremely sparing with words; if two words can solve a problem, he will resolutely refuse to use three.

"You did well. Although Pengju and I only made one trip, you were able to keep up with the two of us and be the first to return to the starting point, which is enough to prove your ability. Man, you did not disgrace the Yang family!"

As Yang Zaixing was praising others, he also took the opportunity to praise himself.

"Zai Xing, you really have no shame."

Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing were, after all, just children, so after a short while they started playing around, but Yang Xiong's face showed no sign of happiness.

It's as if the heart has died.

"Pengju, does he not know how to laugh?"

Noticing this, Yang Zaixing lowered his voice and asked Yue Fei.

"Hmm...you seem preoccupied, that's a bit strange."

Yue Fei also agreed.

"Xiao Fei! Xiao Yang!"

Just as the two children were whispering to each other, a ghostly figure suddenly appeared beside them.

"Brother Shi!"

"Brother Shi Qian!"

Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing were also very excited to see Shi Qian.

It was mainly Shi Qian, the king of the Liangshan kids, who would often play and joke around with them.

"Hehe, those two rascals are getting good now, they've even started training troops."

Shi Qian reached out and grabbed both of their heads, one in each hand, and rubbed them together.

"Hey, I'm here to find someone here named Yang Xiong. Do you remember him?"

Upon hearing this, Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing immediately pointed to Yang Xiong, who was resting not far away:

"His name is Yang Xiong!"
