After Xu Fengwu had arranged their duties, everyone sat on a chair. Next, it was time to arrange their seats.
In the Hall of Righteousness.
Xu Fengwu naturally sat in the first place, while Shi Wengong sat in the second place.
When it was the last turn, Du Qian stood up and said,""Brother, I, Du Qian, am ranked first because I took advantage of the mountain stronghold in the morning. Now that he had Master Lu, Bian Xiang, and the other brothers, they were all capable and loyal people. Why not let them sit next to his brother?”
Song Wan also said,"Lu Shixia is a heroic man and a brave general of the western army. Bian Xiang, Shan Shiqi, and the other brothers were all extraordinary martial artists, and this little brother was willing to follow behind them.”
Although Du Qian and Song Wan's abilities were average, they knew their own limits. Seeing that there were so many experts in the village, they were not people that ordinary people like them could compare to, so they simply took a step back.
Bian Xiang hurriedly said," The two leaders are wrong. We have just ascended the mountain and have only made a small contribution. How would we dare to be in front of the two meritorious elders?"”
Bian Xiang wasn't a boorish person. He was able to become Tian Hu's right prime minister's grand tutor, so how could he be a brainless person?
Bian Xiang didn't want the previous relationship between the leaders to be separated because of the seating arrangement.
Lu Zhishen also said," Brother Bian Xiang is right. If it were up to me, whoever goes up first will sit in front, and whoever goes up later will sit at the back. What's the point of giving way?”
Shan Shiqi nodded." You're pushing me around. Not only are you ruining our brotherhood, but you're also making things difficult for me!"”
Everyone in the hall burst into laughter. Even the slight unwillingness in Du Qian and Song Wan's hearts disappeared in this laughter.
Xu Fengwu also smiled and said," In that case, Master Zhishen has real talent and knowledge. He also knows how to fight in battle formations. This time, he has killed a lot of enemies. He is also an unquestionable hero. Let's take the third seat."”
"Brother Bian Xiang's martial arts skills are few and far between. Not only did he take part in the attack on the stronghold of the government army, but he also defeated Zhu Tong and Lei Heng alone.”
"Brother, this…"
Bian Xiang wanted to say something, but Xu Fengwu stopped him.""Brother Bian Xiang, don't decline."
"Grandmaster and Brother Bian Xiang, don't decline!" Du Qian and Song Wan also said.”
However, Bian Xiang and Lu Zhishen couldn't give in. They cupped their fists at Du Qian and Song Wan and sat down on the chairs.
The two of them had just sat down when Du Qian said,""Brother Shan Shiqi's martial arts are also extraordinary. He's much better than us.”
This surprised Xu Fengwu. He had thought that they would be done for if they gave up the third and fourth spots. He did not expect them to give up the fifth spot, just like in the original novel Water Margins.
Xu Fengwu could not help but sigh. Of course, he knew why.
Shan Shiqi quickly stood up and said,"Brothers, you must be joking. This little brother must not sit in the fifth seat!”
Xu Fengwu looked at Du Qian and Song Wan and said,""What are the two brothers doing? Are you joking with us?”
As he spoke, Xu Fengwu stood up and pulled Du Qian and Song Wan to sit on the fifth and sixth chairs, so that the two of them could not resist.
" Brother, this…" Du Qian and Song Wan said with complicated expressions.
Xu Fengwu said," There are seventeen leaders in the Hall of Righteousness apart from me. I believe there will be more in the future. Are you going to give in for every hero who comes up the mountain?"”
Of course, as the number of heroes increased, it was inevitable to adjust the seating arrangement. However, Xu Fengwu's basis was different from Song Jiang in the original novel.
"What is the basis of our seating arrangement?" Xu Fengwu asked. Fame? Martial arts?"
"These are all necessary, but there is one more thing, and that is to contribute to the village. It is not just going into battle to kill the enemy, gathering intelligence, managing supplies, and so on.”
"Although Du Qian and Song Wan are not as good as many people, they are in charge of logistics and have worked hard. They are also the elders of the village. They should sit in the fifth and sixth positions.”
Of course, Xu Fengwu had his own selfish motives. However, there had to be fairness in this hall. He couldn't let some of his old brothers be disappointed. That would not be good for the village.
Everyone in the hall pricked up their ears to listen.
The seating arrangement of Liangshan was based on fame, martial arts, and contributions.
In other words, the seating arrangement would definitely change in the future.
Xu Fengwu's meaning was clear. Perhaps in the near future, Du Qian and Song Wan would move their seats back.
However, right now, they might not be as famous or as skilled as Liu Tang and Yang Lin, but their contributions were enough to kill the two of them. Therefore, they could be ranked fifth and sixth.
" This place is called the Hall of Righteousness," Xu Fengwu said again." It's a place of loyalty."”
" Brother…" For a moment, Du Qian and Song Wan's eyes were wet.
"We're all brothers, there's no need to say these words!”Xu Fengwu said with a smile.
After Du Qian and Song Wan sat down, the seventh was naturally Shan Shiqi. In this battle, he was responsible for harassing the government troops and luring them into an ambush. He had definitely made a great contribution.
The eighth was Zhu Gui. He was in charge of gathering intelligence and could be said to be the most important.
The ninth, tenth, and eleventh were the Ruan brothers, the twelfth was Liu Tang, the thirteenth was Yang Lin, the fourteenth was Tang Long, the fifteenth was Yuan Zhongliang, the sixteenth was Yun Zongwu, the seventeenth was Huangfu Duan, and the eighteenth was Shiqian.
This time, in the assembly hall seating arrangement, Du Qian and Song Wan's ranking was admittedly at the back, but everyone didn't hurt their friendship at all and treated each other even more sincerely.
Apart from Xu Fengwu, there were already seventeen leaders in Liang Mountain.
Before he went north to the Liao Kingdom, Xu Fengwu lamented that he did not have enough manpower. Other than him and Shi Wengong, there were no other top generals in the village.
He did not expect that after a trip to the Liao Kingdom, there would be ten more leaders. Each of them was not just to make up the numbers.
Those who went into battle to kill enemies, gather intelligence, supervise the production of weapons and armor, manage logistics, and manage military horses. It could be said that other than the lack of a military counselor, the basic framework was already in place.
Xu Fengwu felt that he should go out more often in the future!
