Qingzhou, Baihu Mountain. Qinbei Pavilion
"Brother Chao Gai!"
When Wu Yong and others received the news of Chao Gai's return, they all excitedly went down the mountain to greet him. During this period, they were on tenterhooks, fearing that bad news would come from Liangshan.
"these are?"
When Han Bolong saw that there were several strong men behind Chao Gai, a hint of wariness suddenly flashed in his eyes. There were already many people in Baihu Mountain, and if there were so many more people, his status would probably drop a lot.
"Haha, let me introduce to you, this is Yuncheng Shiyu Song Gongming! Last time we were able to escape capture thanks to Song Gongming's report, and we were able to rescue the Bai Sheng brothers thanks to Song Gongming's help."
Chao Gai introduced Song Jiang to everyone with a smile.
"Song Jiang has met all the heroes!"
Song Jiang stepped forward and cupped his fists with a smile on his face.
Wu Yong, Han Bolong, Xiao Rang, Jin Dajian, and Shi Yong were all surprised when they looked at the dark-skinned and six-foot-tall Song Jiang. In time, Song Jiang's name was well known to them, but it was a pity that they had never gotten to know each other. They didn't expect to come to Baihu Mountain today.
"Brother Song Jiang, Bai Sheng thanks you for saving your life!"
Bai Sheng knelt down in front of Song Jiang excitedly. Song Jiang helped others, but he was life-saving for him.
"Brother Bai Sheng is so polite. How could Song Jiang not save his brother when he was in trouble?"
Song Jiang quickly helped Bai Sheng up and said with a smile.
After Chao Gai's introduction and Bai Sheng's bow, everyone was too embarrassed to stay still. They all stepped forward to pay homage to Song Jiang. After all, Song Jiang had a great reputation.
"These are all the heroes recruited by the wise brother Song Jiang, Mu Hong, Xiao Wuzhai, Wuchun, Li Jun, Taibao Dai Zong, Tongmeng, Tongwei and Hou Jian. , the sick insect Xue Yong, the urging judge Li Li, the boat firer Zhang Heng, the golden-eyed Biao Shi En, the door god Jiang Zhong."
Chao Gai introduced to everyone the people brought by Song Jiang.
"Brother Song Jiang recruited these?"
Wu Yong's face froze, Song Jiang had brought twelve heroes, and there were only seven of them in Baihu Mountain except Chao Gai.
"Let's go back to the mountain first!"
Chao Gai smiled and pulled Song Jiang and invited everyone to go up the mountain.
Arriving at the hall of Baihushan Village, Chao Gai did not rush to take a seat, but instead pulled Song Jiang.
"Everyone, today Brother Song Jiang is living in the world and has come to Luocao in our Baihu Mountain. I think Brother Song Jiang should take the top spot in Baihu Mountain!"
Chao Gai looked at the people entering the hall and said solemnly.
Chao Gai's words scared Wu Yong. He didn't expect that Chao Gai would say such words in public, but Chao Gai had already said it in public, and he couldn't stop him in time.
The people present had two completely different expressions. The people in Baihu Mountain were originally shocked, but the people who followed Song Jiang had happy faces.
"Brother Baozheng, Song Jiang is new to the mountain, how can you make such a joke? Brother, aren't you chasing Song Jiang away!"
Song Jiang's face was full of panic, and he struggled to take his hand away from Chao Gai, as if he was preparing to go down the mountain.
"My dear brother, why did I drive you away? If my dear brother hadn't been responsible for the bloodshed and saved all our lives on the mountain, how could Baihu Mountain be where it is today? You are the benefactor of everyone in this village. This first If you don’t take the top chair, who will?”
How could Chao Gai let Song Jiang go? He pulled Song Jiang tightly and said, "He is very strong. Under this pull, Song Jiang was no match. He had to be pulled by Chao Gai's side."
"Brothers, do you think so or not?"
Chao Gai looked at everyone and said with a smile, completely unaware of the gloomy faces of everyone in Baihu Mountain.
Especially Xiao Rang, Jin Dajian, and Han Bolong. They did not receive much favor from Song Jiang at all. They voted for Chao Gai and entrusted their wealth and life to Chao Gai. Now they are doing well in Baihu Mountain, why do they suddenly have to change owners? If it were Song Jiang, Chao Gai would make decisions privately without looking at what they thought?
Compared with the uncertain expressions of everyone in Baihu Mountain, Mu Chun, Li Li and others all clapped their hands and applauded, praising Chao Gai's loyalty, which made Chao Gai feel proud. Chao Gai cared most about his loyalty.
"Baozheng, I'm very happy today. We can discuss this later. Why don't we invite you all to a banquet first?"
When Wu Yong saw this, he quickly said, Chao Gai was still the same, without a wink at all. His brother's face was almost as black as the bottom of a pot and he didn't notice.
"It's just because there's a banquet that we have to decide where to sit. Otherwise, how can we sit down? Brother Song Jiang, please don't refuse!"
Chao Gai still gave in.
"Brother Baozheng, Baihu Mountain is the foundation you have worked so hard to build. How can Song Jiang sit in the first place? Besides, Baozheng is ten years older than me. If Song Jiang sits here, wouldn't he be ashamed of himself!"
Song Jiang saw everyone's expressions and still refused.
Wu Yong was shocked again when he heard Song Jiang's words. Looking at Song Jiang, he felt the hair on his back stand up. Song Jiang's words were clearly a refusal, but he already had the intention of accepting them. He only said that Chao Gai was ten years older than him and was older in the world. This does not mean that he has seniority. Song Jiang's reputation in time is enough to make up for the small problem of age.
After the last refusal, Chao Gai took the first place and Song Jiang took the second place.
When the banquet was served, Chao Gai took the main seat under Song Jiang's persuasion, but Song Jiang was not in a hurry to take his seat.
"I'm happy today, so I won't let you divide the seating order to avoid dissatisfaction in everyone's hearts. The heroes of Baihu Mountain will sit on the left, and the newly arrived brothers will sit on the right! From now on, the seating order will be determined after meritorious service!"
Song Jiang said to everyone with a smile.
Naturally, everyone had no objections. The few people in Baihu Mountain were not familiar with the newcomers at all. Although they were all figures in the world, the fact that Chao Gai and Song Jiang gave up their seats just now made everyone still have some grudges and did not want to sit together.
Wu Yong, Xiao Rang, and Jin Dajian were on alert and wanted to say something, but Song Jiang had already pulled Chao Gai into joking, not giving them a chance to speak at all.
Wu Yong and the others did not want their previous efforts to go to waste. The newcomers had not made any achievements, but the Baihushan people had followed Chao Gai through life and death, and had already made a lot of achievements. Now Song Jiang would kill them with just one sentence. All the credit wiped out? recalculate?
But Song Jiang kept pulling Chao Gai to talk, and Wu Yong and others could only watch. After Song Jiang said a few words, Chao Gai thought it made sense and agreed with Song Jiang's words, completely blocking the mouths of Wu Yong and others.
As soon as they sat down, everyone had other thoughts in their minds. Everyone on Baihu Mountain was working under Chao Gai. There were only seven people, Wu Yong, Liu Tang, Xiao Rang, Jin Dajian, Han Bolong, Shi Yong, and Bai Sheng, while Song Jiang had Mu. Hong, Mu Chun, Li Jun, Tong Wei, Tong Meng, Li Li, Dai Zong, Zhang Heng, Hou Jian, Xue Yong, Jiang Zhong and Shi En.
The number of new arrivals far exceeds that of everyone in Baihu Mountain, which makes everyone in Baihu Mountain feel even more pressured, and they feel as if the people on the opposite side are trying to overwhelm them.
"Today is really lively! I didn't expect that Baihu Mountain could be so prosperous!"
Chao Gai didn't see that, he just laughed. He felt that there were more than 20 heroes in Baihu Mountain now, and they could be considered to have established a foothold in the world.
"Song Jiang drinks to all brothers!"
Song Jiang didn't wait for Chao Gai to speak, he raised his glass and said to everyone. When Song Jiang toasted, everyone naturally raised their glasses to welcome him.
At the banquet, it was seen that everyone had different thoughts. Only Chao Gai smiled happily, while Song Jiang used his own expertise and kept pulling everyone in Baihu Mountain to toast, looking like they were making friends enthusiastically.
