Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"This fish..."

Cheng Wanli was dumbfounded when he saw the large fish weighing over ten pounds that Xiao Jiasui had.

Is this... Jiang Taigong's fishing method?

Is it so powerful?

"You win, Xiao boy."

After a moment, Cheng Wanli shook his head helplessly.

He had been with Xiao Jiahui the whole time, so he could be sure that Xiao Jiahui hadn't done anything underhanded.

Since it wasn't Xiao Jiahui's doing, then it must be fate.

Fate made me lose to this brat even in sea fishing!

Does that mean that this brat might actually be my son-in-law?

"Uncle, this is just luck. I never expected it."

Xiao Jiahui was a little confused this time, not knowing what was wrong.

This so-called Jiang Taigong fishing method was something my brother used to joke about, but I never expected it to actually work!

Well, even if he's smart, he wouldn't have guessed that it was Mi Sheng who was secretly helping him.

That's right. When Xiao Jiahui went fishing early this morning, Mi Sheng secretly found Ruan Xiaowu, who was stationed in Jeju Island recently, and asked Ruan Xiaowu to stay in the nearby waters.

Seeing that Xiao Jiasui hadn't caught a single fish, Ruan Xiaowu followed his previous agreement with Mi Sheng, went into the water to catch one, and then swam down to below Xiao Jiasui's hook and threw the fish up.

In hindsight, the results were too good.

"Fifth Brother, why didn't you stay there a little longer and see how it went?"

Mi Sheng said that if it were Xiao Qi, he would definitely watch what happened after throwing the fish!

"You didn't tell me I was going to see it. Besides, the strategist is so smart. Even if I don't get caught for a while, I might slip up eventually. It's better to keep things as they are now. As long as you don't let anything slip, even if the strategist gets suspicious, we can still cover it up perfectly."

As Ruan Xiaowu dried herself off, she spoke.

"Sigh, I really wish I could hide on the side right now and eavesdrop, just to hear what the strategist and this Prefect Cheng have to say."

Mi Sheng looked unwilling to accept it; he was only halfway through eating melon seeds, and it was driving him crazy with frustration!

"Mi Sheng, aren't you afraid that you'll run into a difficult father-in-law in the future?"

Ruan Xiaowu asked Mi Sheng.

"My father-in-law? Where would I get a father-in-law? Fifth Brother, you must be joking. I could never have a father-in-law before I conquered the world."

Upon hearing this, Mi Sheng immediately shook his head like a rattle drum.

“You know, your mother has told my mother more than once that she wants to find you a wife.”

The mothers of the three Ruan brothers and the mother of Mi Sheng were among those who had lived on Liangshan for a long time. They helped each other and went through the early days of the stronghold together, and were already very good friends.

Of the three Ruan brothers, Ruan Xiao Er was already married and had children before he went up the mountain, Ruan Xiao Wu also got married later, leaving only Ruan Xiao Qi.

So the mother of the three Ruan brothers is no longer in a hurry. Anyway, there's only Ruan Xiaoqi left. As for Xiaoqi's personality, it's normal that she can't find her for the time being.

But Mi Sheng is the only son in his family, and he's grown up now. If he doesn't get married soon, what will happen if something happens to him on the battlefield?

So now, the mother of the three Ruan brothers spends all her time wandering around the mountain village with the mother of Mi Sheng, hoping to find a suitable match.

Of course, Mi Sheng was unaware of all this, and even if he had, he wouldn't have actively sought out a wife.

Although he is very filial, if we find him a wife at this time... then we would be sorry to our mother. Mr. Wen said, "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be reconciled."

Da Yi needs me right now, so I can't get married for the time being!

Mi Sheng set off first this time, partly to avoid his mother's nagging.

"Fifth Brother, you absolutely mustn't give my mother any advice."

“What good would it do me to offer advice? Oh, by the way, there’s something I need to tell you. Before I left, I heard my mother say that if you don’t get married soon, she’ll swallow her pride and ask your brother to arrange a marriage for you.”

"What? Who taught my mother this? What a ruthless plan!"

Mi Sheng was shocked and exclaimed, "Mother, who told you this slanderous thing?!"

If his brother arranges the marriage, he can't refuse!

"Yes, it was Lao Shan who said it."

Ruan Xiaowu dried her hair and said, suppressing a laugh.

"Laoshan! Laoshan! I treated you like a brother, and you actually, you actually..."

Mi Sheng beat his chest in frustration, lamenting his poor choice of friends!

……

"Young man Xiao, sit down."

Cheng Wanli put down his fishing rod, sat on the rocks by the sea, and patted the spot next to him, gesturing for Xiao Jiahui to sit down.

"Okay, Uncle, please be careful."

Hsiao Chia-hui said, "Uncle, we can sit, but could we not sit by the sea?"

"Don't worry, I can swim. Sit down."

Cheng Wanli rolled his eyes at Xiao Jiasui. This kid was actually good at everything, both literary and martial, and of noble birth. It was just his personality that was too carefree and unrestrained.

"Goryeo is gone, so where are you going to attack next? Liao?"

After Xiao Jiahui sat down, she behaved herself properly. However, Cheng Wanli thought for a long time but couldn't come up with any good topics, so he could only force a conversation.

"Uncle, the Liao Kingdom is currently in a precarious situation, and it's engaged in a fierce battle with the Jurchens."

Xiao Jiahui answered with a smile.

"So, Ren Yuan's idea is that when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits?"

Cheng Wanli's judgment was quite good.

"Uncle's insight is brilliant and hits the nail on the head!"

"Hmph, I still find it hard to believe that he was able to expand the territory by nearly two thousand miles overseas and open up a new world. How come such a powerful person is not from the Song Dynasty?"

Cheng Wanli still harbored feelings for the Song Dynasty.

"Is it possible that the current ruler is unworthy?"

Xiao Jiahui, on the other hand, was less polite. What was the Zhao Song dynasty? Weren't we all royalty?

"you……"

Cheng Wanli's eyes widened. He was about to say that Xiao Jiasui was ignorant and disrespectful of imperial authority, but then he thought, well, this brat is also a member of the royal family. There is indeed not so much reverence between members of the royal family.

"You yourself are a member of the royal family, so you think so highly of Ren Yuan? Don't you want to rise to power yourself? Liangshan, Liangshan, your ancestors' state was also named Liang, why don't you think about restoring Liang?"

Left with no other choice, Cheng Wanli could only bring up something else.

“Uncle, being an emperor is very tiring. I’m lazy and don’t want to be that tired.”

Xiao Jiahui said seriously.

“Brother Ren Yuan is a wise man. He wants to shoulder the entire land of China! I don’t have that kind of courage.”

"In this life, I just want to be a carefree person, do my part for my brother, and watch Brother Ren Yuan build a peaceful and prosperous world! That would be enough for me. If I could have Wan'er by my side, I would die without regrets."

"You'll die without regrets, but I'll have to take my daughter with me?"

Cheng Wanli slapped Xiao Jiahui in an annoyed tone, then fell silent again.

Xiao Jiahui remained silent, sitting quietly beside him.

The air suddenly became quiet, with only the sound of the wind blowing the hem of two people's clothes on the beach.

After an unknown amount of time, Cheng Wanli suddenly spoke:

"This time, shall we attack Yan and Yun?"

"beat!"

Hsiao Chia-hui's answer was brief but firm.

"well!"

Cheng Wanli said "good" once, then said "good" again, and then there was another silence.

After another moment of silence, Cheng Wanli spoke again:

"Xiao boy."

"I'm here."

"Once we conquer Yanyun, we don't need the betrothal gifts..."
