Chapter 9: Wash your hands
The three days passed quickly, and he received an invitation from Liu Zhengfeng's golden basin hand-washing conference, and Gu Qinghe was not going out, but he was preparing at the inn, preparing to find an opportunity at that conference to secretly abduct a core disciple of the Huashan faction.
Although the Wuyue Sword Sect is side by side, the Huashan Sect is the sect with the longest inheritance, and the profound internal strength of the heart method can be regarded as the authentic sect of the Xuanmen, so Gu Qinghe did not make up his mind about the other factions.
After knowing that Sword Killing II must practice every day, the guest room where Gu Qinghe lived was always the largest one in the inn.
After practicing the swordsmanship that should be practiced today a few times, feeling the internal power of the Nine Shadows that is getting more and more day by day, Gu Qinghe quickly straightened his clothes, lifted the long sword, and walked towards Liu's Mansion.
Half an hour later, the jubilant Liu Mansion finally appeared in front of Gu Qinghe, and it was Wu Qing, a disciple of the Hengshan faction who had sent the invitation, who received Gu Qinghe.
Seeing Gu Qinghe who came with a sword, Wu Qing greeted him from afar, with a bright face, and said with a smile: "Gu Shaoxia, you are finally here, hurry, please inside." ”
Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, Gu Qinghe handed Wu Qing a landscape painting he bought on the side of the road and said, "This is a gift to congratulate Liu Zhengfeng's predecessors on washing their hands in a golden basin." ”
Wu Qing took the landscape painting, handed it to the little guy next to him, and said, "This is a gift from Gu Shaoxia, remember it." ”
After the little guy said "yes", he stretched out his voice and said to the housekeeper who nodded to the salute: "A pair of ancient Shaoxia landscape paintings." ”
Following Wu Qing, Gu Qinghe quickly entered the gate of Liu's Mansion, and then through some noisy courtyards, Gu Qinghe finally came to a relatively quiet hall and saw a table of wine and food in the hall.
In some of the courtyards that I passed before, there were also many banquets, and the people sitting on the banquets were all speaking some local language, which was a little vulgar; And now here, it is the disciple of the decent sect who is seated, because the people at the table here are all wearing the same clothes.
Seeing this, Gu Qinghe said in his heart: This Liu Zhengfeng is quite good at being a person, and after setting up so many banquets, the three sects and the nine streams and the famous and decent sects are separated, and they are not offended, and they are very measured, but I don't know if there is a table unique to the high-level of each faction.
After bringing Gu Qinghe to the hall, Wu Qing whispered to Gu Qinghe: "Gu Shaoxia wait for a while, there are still some seniors who have not yet arrived, Gu Shaoxia can eat something first, Wu has something important, so he will leave first." ”
Gu Qinghe nodded and said, "Well, if you have something to do, go and get busy first." ”
Gu Qinghe is not a disciple of any sect, he doesn't want to call him senior brother when he sees people, so Gu Qinghe calls Wu Qing 'you'.
After Wu Qing left, Gu Qinghe found an empty table and sat down and ate the dishes on the table.
Just as Gu Qinghe was eating, some seniors on the rivers and lakes arrived one after another, and there were more whispers in the hall pushing cups and changing lamps.
At this time, Yue Buqun, the head of the Huashan faction, also walked in with the disciples of the Huashan faction, and Yue Lingshan, who was following behind Yue Buqun, looked at the people in the hall curiously.
As soon as she saw Gu Qinghe, Yue Lingshan's breathing intensified, but she also knew that this was not a place where she could do it casually.
So, she took Ning Zhongze's hand beside her and whispered, "Mother, I saw the thief who caught me last time." ”
After speaking, she pointed out Gu Qinghe to Ning Zhongze.
Ning Zhong patted Yue Lingshan's little hand and said, "Shan'er, don't be in a hurry first, after your Uncle Liu washes his hands, we will settle accounts with that little thief." ”
Yue Lingshan noticed Gu Qinghe, how could Gu Qinghe, who had been observing the Huashan Sect, not notice Yue Lingshan's small movements?
Looking at Yue Lingshan, who was looking for his mother, Gu Qinghe said in his heart: You are the daughter of the Huashan faction, and the internal strength and mental method you learned must be very authentic, I hope I can catch you again.
With the arrival of Yue Buqun of the Huashan faction, the Hengshan faction, the Taishan faction and Liu Zhengfeng of the main Hengshan faction also arrived at the scene soon, and only the Songshan faction of the Wuyue Sword faction had not yet come.
The auspicious time for washing hands in the golden basin has arrived, and Liu Zhengfeng did not let everyone wait for the people of the Songshan faction, and said: "Fellow people in the rivers and lakes, today is the day for Liu Zhengfeng to wash his hands in the golden basin......"
Liu Zhengfeng said a lot, most of them were cumbersome grievances and grievances on the rivers and lakes, and the rest was that he Liu Zhengfeng was tired of the grievances of the rivers and lakes, and wanted to withdraw from the rivers and lakes.
As soon as Liu Zhengfeng's words came to an end, a male duck's voice came from outside the hall: "Hengshan sent Liu Zhengfeng to take the order..."
Not long after the voice came out, Gu Qinghe saw the eunuch who walked into the hall surrounded by a group of small eunuchs with the holy decree.
At this time, Liu Zhengfeng was also extremely cooperative, knelt down and said: "Minister Liu Zhengfeng took the order." ”
Chivalry violates the ban with martial arts, which means that the people in the rivers and lakes do not obey the imperial discipline, and the people in this hall are even more so, so the people who kneel down to receive the order are just Liu Zhengfeng and some of Liu Zhengfeng's close disciples, and some of the other seniors in the rivers and lakes are looking at Liu Zhengfeng who kneeling with ugly faces.
Although the people in the rivers and lakes do not respect the Son of Heaven, they have never shown it in front of the people in the court, and the power of this imperial power also wants to be huge, and they dare not offend, and at this time, looking at Liu Zhengfeng's appearance, he must have known the arrival of the eunuch in the face of the decree, and in the face of the holy decree, it is a big question whether to kneel or not.
It can be said that in the current hall, the people who scold their mothers and Liu Zhengfeng account for at least 80 percent, who let this Liu Zhengfeng pit them?
Maybe it is because the martial arts and the imperial power have their own coercion, the eunuch did not care whether the people around him knelt or not, after Liu Zhengfeng knelt, he read the holy decree and read: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, Hengshan sent Liu Zhengfeng...... Specially give Liu Zhengfeng the post of general, Qin this! ”
Liu Zhengfeng raised his hands above his head and replied loudly: "Minister Liu Zhengfeng thanks Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”
After receiving the decree, Liu Zhengfeng ordered the servant to bring some gold, and bribed the eunuch to announce the decree in front of everyone.
The eunuch put away the gold and exchanged pleasantries with Liu Zhengfeng for a while before leaving here.
After sending off the eunuch who announced the decree, everyone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief, and the sound of drinking and eating food was also very loud, and Liu Zhengfeng's face was also quite thick-skinned, he didn't care about the embarrassment he brought to everyone just now, he just ordered the little servant and said loudly: "Bring the golden basin up." ”
After a while, the little servant brought up the golden basin with clear water and placed it on an empty table in the center of the hall, and Liu Zhengfeng also walked to the table and stretched out his hand into the clear water, wanting to wash his hands in the golden basin.
At this time, the people of the Songshan faction finally came, and the Tota hand Ding Mian held high a five-color banner and shouted: "Stop! According to the order of the leader of the Wuyue Alliance, the main banner of the Left League, Hengshan sent Liu Zhengfeng to postpone the 'golden basin washing'. ”
At the same time, with this loud shout, a small pebble hit by a secret weapon, knocking the golden basin to the ground, making a "bumper" sound, and stirring up a splash.
Seeing this, Gu Qinghe showed a smile when everyone was not paying attention, and said secretly in his heart: The chaos is coming, I have to seize the opportunity to capture a core disciple of the Huashan Sect.
