Chapter Twenty-Seven: Washing Hands in a Golden Basin
The Huashan faction and his party bid farewell to the Fuwei Dart Bureau, and no one has been waiting for them since then. The worst thing at this time is Lauderno. The master has to serve, and the junior sister has to coax, and now there is one more young master Lin Pingzhi who does not divide the grains.
Although Lin Pingzhi has worked very hard, he has been pampered since he was a child and has never done anything. I can't chop wood, fetch water, make a fire, cook and support a tent. Lauderno was so anxious that he didn't dare to complain.
Although Yue Buqun understood Lau Denuo's hardships, his quality of life had dropped so much all of a sudden, so he couldn't praise him.
The group was upset, so they had to hurry quickly, and after arriving at Hengshan early, they would get better when they gathered all the disciples.
Yue Buqun led the three disciples to gallop on horseback, and finally arrived outside Hengshan City, counting the days, tomorrow will be the day when Liu Zhengfeng of Hengshan faction washes his hands. There were a lot of changes in going to Fuzhou this time, and it was inevitable that it would be delayed, but he was finally able to arrive on time, and Yue Buqun also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Suddenly it began to rain. When the four of them entered the city, Lauderno bought a few hats on the side of the street and put them on their heads to protect them from the rain. Seeing that the sky was dark and dreary, there was no sign of stopping rain, and I turned a street and saw a teahouse.
Yue Lingshan's voice was crisp and delicate, and she said with a little coquettishness: "Daddy, this rain keeps coming, splashing my clothes almost soaked, let's have a cup of tea here." ”
Yue Buqun nodded and said, "It's okay, drink a cup of hot tea to warm up." He walked into the teahouse, and the three followed.
Just as he was about to sit down, Yue Buqun saw the seven half-cut teacups on the table next to him at a glance, and couldn't help but whisper, "Lingshan, look! Yue Lingshan was also very surprised, and said, "This kung fu is so good, who cut off the seven teacups?" ”
Yue Buqun smiled: "Lingshan, I'll take your test, one sword and seven out, cut gold and jade, who cut these seven teacups?" ”
Lin Pingzhi said in his heart: "I haven't seen it, how do you know who cut it...... However, this swordsmanship is not bad, although I can barely do it, but the internal strength is insufficient, and the sharp edge of the sword alone cannot be cut so neatly. ”
Yue Lingshan thought for a while, then suddenly clapped her hands and smiled: "I know!" I see! Thirty-six road return to the wind and fall the goose sword, the seventeenth move 'one sword falls nine geese', this is Liu Zhengfeng Liu Sanye's masterpiece. Yue Buqun shook his head when he heard this.
Lau Denuo smiled and prompted: "I'm afraid that Liu Sanye's swordsmanship is not enough for this attainment, and you only guessed half of it." ”
Yue Lingshan stretched out her index finger, pointed at him and smiled, "Don't talk about it, I know." This...... This...... This is Mr. Mo Da of 'Xiaoxiang Night Rain'! ”
Suddenly, seven or eight voices sounded together, some clapping their hands, some laughing, and they all said, "Senior sister has good eyesight." ”
Lin Pingzhi was taken aback: "Where are so many people?" Looking around, I saw two men who were dozing off on the table had stood up, and five other people came out of the inner hall of the teahouse, some were dressed as porters, one was holding an abacus in his hand, he was doing business, and there was a little monkey squatting on his shoulder, as if he was playing monkey play.
Yue Lingshan smiled: "Ha, you bad guys are hiding here, which scared me a lot!" My daddy is here, and you're so naughty. ”
Everyone hurriedly stepped forward to meet Yue Buqun. Yue Buqun smiled and said, "You naughty ghosts! Let me introduce to you, this is your little junior brother Lin Pingzhi. ”
All the disciples happily congratulated: "Congratulations to Master for accepting a new disciple." ”
Yue Buqun smiled and said: "Pingzhi, these are your senior brothers, you should salute all the senior brothers." ”
The burly man is the third senior brother Liang Fa, the porter looks like the fourth senior brother Shi Daizi, the fifth senior brother Gao Genming who always holds an abacus in his hand, the sixth senior brother and the sixth monkey Lu Dayou, the little monkey with the head squatting on his shoulder is him, and the seventh senior brother Tao Jun and the eighth senior brother Ying Bailuo are two young disciples. Lin Ping met one by one,
Yue Lingshan proudly announced: "From now on, I will also be a senior sister." Daddy, Senior Brother Lin calls me Senior Sister, and in the future, if you accept another hundred disciples or two hundred disciples, you will have to call me Senior Sister. ”
Lu Dayou said with a smile: "Everyone here started later than you, but they all call you junior sister." Now it's finally time to work. ”
While everyone was busy, Yue Lingshan looked around and asked, "What about Senior Brother?" Why don't you see him? ”
The field immediately fell silent, and all the disciples bowed their heads and remained silent.
Yue Buqun sank his face, pointed at Liang Fa and asked, "What about Linghu Chong?" What trouble did he get into trouble? ”
Liang Fa had no choice but to recruit 1510.
It turned out that Linghu Chong was greedy for wine, and when he was on the road, he encountered a thief who traveled alone, and Tian Boguang kidnapped Yilin, a disciple of the Hengshan faction. In order to rescue Yilin from Tian Boguang, Ling Hu Chong inevitably resorted to some tricks and tricks, and was disrespectful to the Hengshan faction in his words, and the disciples of the Taishan faction died in the middle. At the moment, he was injured and was rescued by Yilin, and he didn't know where he was.
Yue Buqun was furious when he heard this. Yue Lingshan said anxiously: "Dad, Senior Brother doesn't know where to hide to recuperate, I'm afraid it's very dangerous, let's go find him." ”
At this moment, two people walked in quickly with lanterns and shouted, "May I ask if it is the heroes of the Huashan faction?" ”
Yue Buqun said: "Don't dare, Huashan Yue Buqun is down." Who is the Honorable Driver? ”
The lanterns in the hands of the two men were written in red with the words "Liu Fu". The first person said: "The younger generation is ordered by our master to invite Uncle Yue and all the brothers and sisters to go to our place to fast. The younger generation did not get the message that everyone came to Hengshan, and they never went out of the city to meet them, forgive their sins. As he spoke, he bowed and saluted.
Yue Buqun returned the salute and said, "No need to be polite. Are the two of them Senior Brother Liu's disciples? The man: "Yes." The younger generation to Danian, this is my junior brother Mi Weiyi, to the teacher and uncle. Saying that, he and Mi Weiyi saluted respectfully.
Yue Buqun saw that Xiang Mi and the others were very respectful, and said, "Okay, we are about to visit Senior Brother Liu in the mansion." ”
Yue Lingshan was worried about Ling Hu Chong, pulled Yue Buqun and said, "Let's still meet Senior Brother Qi, let's go see Uncle Liu San again!" ”
Xiang Danian said: "Senior Sister Yue doesn't have to worry too much. We have sent people to look for Senior Brother Linghu, although we have not found it yet, but Tian Boguang's lewd thief has been injured by all the senior brothers, and Senior Brother Linghu should be fine. It's better for everyone to go first, and it's the same to wait in the house. ”
Everyone thought to themselves: "The Hengshan faction is a land-sitting household, and they are so strong in finding nature that we have no clue. ”
Yue Buqun said, "I'm sorry." ”
Xiang Danian said: "Everyone walked to Hengshan, it was to put gold on our faces, why do you still say these kind words?" Please! Please! ”
Yue Buqun led all the disciples to Liu's mansion. When Liu Zhengfeng got the information, he was surprised and delighted, the head of Huashan, the famous "gentleman's sword" in the martial arts, actually arrived in person, and hurriedly greeted him, thanking him without a word. Yue Buqun was very modest, congratulated with a smile on his face, and walked into the door hand in hand with Liu Zhengfeng. Tianmen Daoren, Dingyi Shitai, Mr. Wen, He Sanqi and others also descended to greet each other.
Everyone exchanged a few words of greeting, and arranged to stay in Liu's Mansion that night. Although he was worried about Linghu Chong's whereabouts, there was no news until the next day.
This day is the day of Liu Zhengfeng's "golden basin washing", the guests poured in like flowing water, Liu Zhengfeng received at the door, and when he arrived, he returned to the inner hall and entertained the guests by the disciples.
It was nearly noon, and there were more and more people. Jin Ao, the deputy gang advocate of the beggar gang, and the old boxer of Zhengzhou Liuhemen Xia led the three sons-in-law, the old man of the Three Gorges of Sichuan and Hubei Feng Tie, the leader of the East China Sea Sand Gang Pan Roar, the second friend of Qujiang Shendao Bai Ke, and the magic pen Lu Xisi and others arrived one after another. Some of these people knew each other well, and some of them were just admired and had never met each other, and for a while the hall greeted and introduced each other, and there was a lot of noise.
Tianmen Daoist and Dingyi Shitai rested in the wing room separately and did not greet everyone. Although Yue Buqun's name is called "Buqun", he loves friends very much, and many of the guests who are unknown or not very innocent in reputation, as long as they come to talk to him, Yue Buqun will talk and laugh with them, and he will not put on a stand of being the head of the Huashan faction and superior to others. Lin Pingzhi participated in such a martial arts gathering for the first time, and his eyes couldn't help but be opened. Lau De Nuo and Yue Lingshan whispered to him one by one.
The disciples of the Liu Mansion commanded the cooks and servants, and set up more than 200 tables inside and out. Liu Zhengfeng's disciples Xiang Danian and Mi Weiyi respectfully invited the guests to the table. According to the status and prestige in the martial arts, the head of the Taishan faction, Tianmen Dao, should sit in the chief, but the Wuyue Sword Sect is allied, and half of the Tianmen Daoist and Yue Buqun, Dingyi Shitai, etc. are the masters, and it is inconvenient to sit down.
Suddenly, I heard two bangs outside the door, followed by the sound of drums, and the sound of gongs and shouts, indicating that the government had come to the door. The heroes were stunned, and saw Liu Zhengfeng wearing a brand-new familiar robe, hurriedly running out of the inner hall. The heroes congratulated happily. Liu Zhengfeng bowed his hand slightly, then walked to the door, and after a while, he saw him respectfully accompanying an official in official uniform to come in. The heroes were surprised.
But he saw the official stand in the center, and the official behind him knelt down with his right leg, and raised his hands above the top, presenting a tray covered with yellow satin, and a scroll was placed on the plate. The official bowed, took the scroll, and said loudly: "The holy decree has arrived, and Liu Zhengfeng will listen to the decree." ”
Unexpectedly, Liu Zhengfeng bent his knees, knelt down, kowtowed to the official three times in a row, and said loudly: "Weichen Liu Zhengfeng listens to the order, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”
When the heroes saw it, they were all stunned.
The official unfolded the scroll and read: "Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and says: According to the governor of HUN Province, Liu Zhengfeng, a commoner in Hengshan County, is anxious for justice and righteousness, and his merit is in Sangzi, and he is skilled in bows and horses. ”
When Lin Pingzhi heard this, he was shocked, and he couldn't help muttering: "Such a rampant person dares to forge a holy decree, it's so bold!" His voice was so small that only a few people around him could hear him.
Yue Lingshan couldn't help but be curious, and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Linzi, how do you know that this is a forgery?" ”
Lin Pingzhi explained in a low voice: "I am very strict in donating officials, and civil officials can donate a prisoner at most, not even an official." Although the civil and military are cheap, the martial arts also donate at most 100 households, and only six products. The general is a third-grade officer, the level is equivalent to the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and he is an important minister of the imperial court, how can he donate some money to get it! The forger does not understand political affairs, and makes up random fabrications according to the play, which is ridiculous! ”
Yue Lingshan listened to what Lin Pingzhi said, and said, "Then what should I do?" Do you want to expose the liar, lest Uncle Liu be fooled. ”
At this time, Yue Buqun's voice suddenly sounded in the ears of the two: "Don't be impatient, wait and see what happens!" ”
Lin Pingzhi obeyed his master's orders, shut up and stood solemnly, thinking: "The matter here must be extremely complicated and involves a lot. I'm a newcomer, so I must not talk too much and cause trouble for my teacher. Listen to the Master, don't say anything and don't move, just wait and see what happens. ”
The next development of things was really full of twists and turns, ups and downs, thrilling, and made Lin Ping's heart tremble.
Liu Zhengfeng gave the liar a gift greeting, smiled with a smile on his face, and sent him outside the gate. This move was unexpected, and everyone looked at each other and looked down on him in their hearts.
Liu Zhengfeng then invited everyone to take their seats, and then began the golden basin handwashing ceremony. Mi Weiyi brought out a coffee table. Xiang Danian held a golden basin with a golden radiance and a half-foot-long diameter in both hands, and placed it on top of the coffee table, which was already filled with water.
Liu Zhengfeng walked to the hall with a smile, hugged his fists, and loudly announced that after washing his hands in the golden basin, he would be an official and have nothing to do with martial arts. However, just as he was about to put his hand into the golden basin, he was stopped by the Songshan faction suddenly appearing, and the other party was holding the order flag of the leader of the Wuyue Sword Sect. Liu Zhengfeng insisted on washing his hands in the golden basin, but was forcibly stopped by the Songshan faction. In the end, Fei Bin, the fourth junior disciple of Zuo Lengchan, the head of the Songshan faction, arrived in person and directly used a secret weapon to overturn the golden basin.
Everyone was originally upset about Liu Zhengfeng, but the Songshan faction pointed out that he had a close relationship with Qu Yang, the Demon Sect's protector elder, and everyone was in an uproar. Liu Zhengfeng is also a fair and upright man, and immediately admitted that he and Qu Yang did sympathize with each other because of music, but they did not involve anything else. When everyone heard this, they all gave up helping each other. Yue Buqun's repeated persuasion was fruitless, so he had to let go.
In the end, Liu Zhengfeng's whole family was killed, and he planned to kill himself. Unexpectedly, Qu Yang suddenly appeared and rescued Liu Zhengfeng in the chaos.
