Not long after, I saw Yue Buqun leading a group of Huashan disciples to visit 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, Yu Canghai, Mr. Wen, He Sanqi and others also descended to greet each other. Wang Jing, Lao Denuo and other disciples hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Yu Canghai had a ghost in his heart, and thought: "The head of Huashan is here in person, forgive Liu Zhengfeng for not having such a big face, he must have come for me." Although his Wuyue Sword Sect is numerous, my Qingcheng Sect is not easy to mess with. It's better to ask his disciples first about blocking and humiliating my Qingcheng disciples, and see how he answers, if it is very hostile, he has no choice but to do it. So he bowed his hand to Yue Buqun and said, "Senior Brother Yue, your disciples have blocked and humiliated my Qingcheng disciples many times, I don't know what Senior Brother Yue means?"

Yue Buqun was a little puzzled, Wang Jing saw this, and hurriedly stepped forward to tell Linghu Chongye that he had rescued everyone in the Fuwei Dart Bureau, as well as about returning to Yanlou, and secretly told Yue Buqun that he had practiced for five years because of his adventures. Yue Buqun replied: "Master Yu, Yue was negligent in discipline, so Brother Yu smiled, and another day he will let the inferior go to Qingcheng to apologize." When Yu Canghai heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "Brother Yue is polite." ”

Everyone exchanged a few words of greeting, and guests from all walks of life in Liu's mansion arrived one after another. This day is the first day of Liu Zhengfeng's "golden basin washing", and when it is already two o'clock, Liu Zhengfeng will return to the inner hall and entertain guests by his disciples.

It was nearly noon, and five or six hundred distant visitors poured in. Jin Ao, the deputy advocate of the beggar gang, the old boxer of Xia of Zhengzhou Liuhemen, the old man of Feng Tie, the goddess of the Three Gorges of Sichuan and Hubei, 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.

Tianmen Daoist and Dingyi Shitai rested in the wing room respectively, and did not go to greet everyone, both of them were people with strong personalities, and they were not used to seeing people who were not in the flow outside of the famous and decent families.

However, Yue Buqun loves friends very much, and many of the guests are unknown or not very innocent, as long as they come to talk to him, Yue Buqun talks and laughs with them, and does not put on a show of being the head of the Huashan faction and superior to others.

After the guests arrived, the disciples of the Liu Mansion commanded the cooks and servants, and set up more than 200 tables inside and out. Liu Zhengfeng's relatives, doormen, tents, and disciples of Liu Men respectfully invited the guests to Danian and Mi Weiyi. 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. Seeing that although he was dressed and dressed in imperial clothes, his eyes were dizzy, and his face was wine-colored, showing that he did not have martial arts.

But he saw the official stand in the center, and the yaman 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 Zhifeng will listen to the decree." ”

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 Hunan 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. ”

Liu Zhengfeng kowtowed again and said: "Weichen Liu Zhengfeng thanks, long live my emperor, long live, long live." He stood up, bent down to the official, and said, "Thank you, Lord Zhang, for cultivating and promoting." The official smiled and said, "Congratulations, congratulations, General Liu, you and I will be ministers in the same palace from now on, but why should you be polite?"

Liu Zhengfeng prepared a big salute, and the official said a few words of congratulations, drank three glasses of wine, and left.

Liu Zhengfeng was full of smiles and sent straight to the gate. I only heard the sound of gongs and shouts, and Liu Fu sent a salute again.

This scene was unexpected, everyone looked at each other, and they couldn't make a sound, and everyone's faces were embarrassed and surprised.

Liu Zhengfeng walked in front of the group of heroes, his face was full of joy, and he invited everyone to take a seat. No one is willing to sit as the chief, and the Taishi chair in the center is left empty. The left is the oldest Liuhemen Xia Lao boxer, and the right is the deputy of the beggar gang Jin Ao. Although Zhang Jinao himself has no amazing art industry, the beggar gang is the largest gang in the rivers and lakes, and the leader of the beggar gang has high martial arts and reputation, and everyone respects him for three points.

The heroes sat down, and the servants came up to offer food and wine. Mi Weiyi brought out a coffee table with brocade on it. Xiang Danian held a golden basin with a golden light and a half feet in diameter, and put it on the coffee table, the basin was already full of water, and he could only hear three bangs outside the door, followed by bang, and eight big firecrackers. A group of junior disciples sitting in the back hall and flower hall all flocked to the hall to see the excitement.

Liu Zhengfeng walked into the hall with a smile and hugged his fists. The heroes all stood up and saluted.

Liu Zhengfeng said loudly: "All the senior heroes, all friends, everyone has come from afar, Liu Zhengfeng is really gold on his face, and he is grateful. Liu invited you here to ask all your good friends to testify. From now on, Liu will wash his hands of gold and concentrate on the eunuchs, but he will never use the teacher to pass on martial arts, in order to be promoted to the knighthood, as for the grievances and grievances on the rivers and lakes, sectarian disputes, Liu Zhengfeng will never ask. If it is contrary to the word, there is such a sword. With his right hand, he pulled out the long sword from the bottom of the robe, wrenched his hands, and with a slap, the blade of the sword was broken in two, he broke the long sword, and let the two broken swords fall, and with two soft sounds, the broken sword was inserted into the green brick.

When the heroes saw it, they were all shocked, such a weightless weight, effortlessly breaking a sword, then the purity of kung fu on the fingers is really the attainment of a first-class master in the martial arts. Mr. Wen sighed and said, "It's a pity, it's a pity!" I don't know if he pities this sword, or if it's a pity that Liu Zhengfeng, such a master, is willing to go to the government. Liu Zhengfeng smiled, rolled up his sleeves, stretched out his hands, and was about to put it in the golden basin, when he suddenly heard someone outside the door shouting: "Stop!"
