Lin Pingzhi and Liu Jing practiced quietly in the inner courtyard all morning, and only practiced a dozen swordsmanship back and forth. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Liu Zhengfeng took a nap in the bedroom for more than an hour, and before noon, he was going out to entertain guests again, and when he pushed the door and saw his daughter and Lin Pingzhi mixed together, he frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything.

Qu Feiyan was tired from the journey, and slept until noon that day, and finally woke up because he was worried about Qian Qingjian's "quiet recuperation", but when he went out, he found that the door of Brother Qian's guest room was already guarded by Lin and Liu, Liu Jing saw Qu Feiyan coming over, and said with a smile: "Feifei sister, Brother Qian asked me to tell you that you are responsible for guarding the window in the room." ”

Before noon, Qian Qingjian had already walked out of the door, and went to the study to eat with the three people waiting outside the room, and in the afternoon he stayed in the study to read some books, Qu Feiyan had to accompany him, but it was very strange why Liu Jing of the Hengshan faction could not avoid Lin Pingzhi when practicing swords, and wanted to ask Brother Qian, but he knew that Brother Qian was not familiar with martial arts, so he could only bury his doubts in his heart.

In this way, another day passed, and there were more and more greeting guests in Liu's house, and Liu Zhengfeng always received guests in the front courtyard hall, accompanying those who were prominent, and never returned to the inner courtyard overnight.

On the morning of the third day, when it was close to noon, Liu Zhengfeng finally returned to the inner courtyard to bathe and change clothes, and he didn't bother to see Qian Qingjian, Qian Qingjian called the two apprentices and Qu Feiyan to the outer room of his guest room, and gave instructions like this for a while.

This day was the first day of Liu Zhengfeng's "golden basin washing", and as noon approached, five or six hundred distant visitors poured in.

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 side hall respectively, and did not greet everyone, which was a move of self-exaltation. Among today's visitors, some of them are quite famous and famous in the rivers and lakes, and some are obviously not the same. How could the Wuyue Sword Sect have a relationship with the Three Sects and the Nine Streams?

Although Yue Buqun's name is called "Buqun", he is very approachable. Mu Gaofeng is the kind of person he can call a brother and a brother, he is a lot of people in the guest who are unknown or not very innocent, as long as he comes to talk to him, Yue Buqun talks and laughs with them, and does not put on a stand-up of the head of the Huashan faction and superiority.

Yu Canghai only wanted to wait for the scholar Qian Qing, so he always waited in the hall, and when this person came out, he would be in trouble.

The disciples of the Liu Mansion commanded the cooks and servants, and set up more than 200 tables inside and out. Liu Zhengfeng's junior brother Fang Qianju and Liu Sect's disciples respectfully invited the guests to the table with Danian and Mi Weiyi.

When several senior celebrities were pushing each other to be the chief, they suddenly heard two bangs outside the door, followed by the sound of drums, and there were officials in official uniforms holding "avoidance" and "quiet" signs entering the courtyard, indicating that someone from the official palace had arrived.

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 back to the hall.

The heroes all felt strange: "Could it be that this official is also a martial arts master?" Seeing that although he was dressed in imperial clothes, his eyes were dizzy, and his face was wine-colored, showing that he did not have martial arts.

Yue Buqun and others thought: "Liu Zhengfeng is a great gentleman in Hengshan City, and it is inevitable that he will make friends with the government, today is a good day for him to be happy, and it is not surprising that local officials come to perfunctory." ”

But I saw the official go straight in, stand in the center, and the official behind him knelt down with his right leg, raised his hands above the top, and presented a tray covered with yellow satin, the official bowed down, took out a scroll from the tray, and said loudly: "The holy decree has arrived, Liu Zhengfeng listens to the decree." ”

When the heroes heard this, they were all taken aback: "Liu Zhengfeng washed his hands in a golden basin, sealed his sword and went into hiding, that is a matter on the rivers and lakes, what does it have to do with the imperial court? ”

But seeing that Liu Zhengfeng was bent on both knees, he 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 twisted his beard and smiled, and said, "Congratulations, congratulations, General Liu, from now on, you and I will be ministers in the same palace, but why be polite?"

Liu Zhengfeng turned his head to his junior brother Fang Qianju and said, "Brother Fang Xian, what about the gift from Lord Zhang?"

Fang Qianju said: "I have been preparing here for a long time. He turned and took a disc, and in the middle of it was a brocade wrap.

Liu Zhengfeng took it with both hands and said with a smile: "A little courtesy, not a respect, Lord Zhang is acceptable." ”

The adult Zhang smiled and said, "My brother, why is Lord Liu so polite?" When the officer took the plate, his arms sank downward, and it was evident that the contents were not silver but gold.

The adult smiled and said: "The younger brother is on official business, don't stay for a long time, come and come, pour three glasses of wine, and congratulate General Liu on his appointment today, and he will be promoted to the rank of knight." ”

I have already poured wine left and right. Mr. Zhang drank three glasses in a row, arched his hand, and turned around to go out. 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. At this moment, seeing Liu Zhengfeng becoming inflammatory, he gave the emperor a "general" and was grateful, and made all kinds of fleshy demeanor, and even openly offered bribes, and looked down on him in their hearts, and some people couldn't help but show disdain.

Liu Zhengfeng turned back to the hall, his face full of joy, and invited everyone to take a seat.

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 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.

I could only hear three bangs outside the door, followed by eight big firecrackers in a row. 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 the good friends, all the young friends. Everyone came from afar, Liu Zhengfeng is really gold on his face, and he is grateful. Brother washed his hands of gold today, and from now on he will not ask about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and you must know the reason. The brother has received the grace of the imperial court to be a small official. As the saying goes: the food of the king, the matter of loyalty. The rivers and lakes pay attention to righteousness, but the official affairs of the state must abide by the law in order to repay the king's kindness. If there is a conflict between the two, Liu Zhengfeng will inevitably be embarrassed. From now on, Liu Zhengfeng will withdraw from the martial arts, and if my disciples are willing to switch to other sects, they will do their own thing. Liu invited you here to ask all your good friends to testify. When you come to Hengshan City in the future, you will naturally still be a good friend of Liu, but Liu will not ask about the rights and wrongs of all kinds of grievances in the martial arts. He said it again.

Qunxiong had already expected him to speak, and they all thought: "He wants to be an official, but everyone has their own ambitions, and he can't come reluctantly." Anyway, he didn't offend me, and from then on, there was no such person in the martial arts. Some thought: "This move is really damaging to the glory of the Hengshan faction, presumably Mr. Mo Da, the head of Hengshan, is very angry, because he didn't come." ”

Some people even thought: "The Wuyue Sword Sect has been chivalrous and righteous in the rivers and lakes in recent years, and it is so admirable that people are admirable, but Liu Zhengfeng has done such things." People don't dare to say anything in front of them, but they can't help but be cold behind their backs. ”

Some people also gloated and pondered: "Why is the Wuyue Sword Sect a chivalrous sect, and when it encounters a promotion and a fortune, it is not a Baba kowtow to the officials? What else do you mention the word 'chivalrous'?"

The heroes had their own thoughts, and for a while, the hall was silent. Originally, under this scene, everyone should have congratulated Liu Zhengfeng one after another, complimenting him on "full return of good fortune", "brave retreat from the rapids", "great wisdom and bravery", etc., but more than 1,000 people gathered together, and no one spoke.

Liu Zhengfeng turned around and said loudly: "Disciple Liu Zhengfeng was included in the disciple by his mentor and taught martial arts, but he was very ashamed that he failed to open the lintel of the Dahengshan faction. Fortunately, there is Senior Brother Mo in this door, Liu Zhengfeng is mediocre, there are not many people who are more Liu, and there are many people who are less Liu. From now on, Liu will wash his hands of gold and concentrate on the eunuchs, in order to be promoted to the knighthood...... Since then, the grievances and grievances on the rivers and lakes, and the disputes between sects, Liu Zhengfeng will never ask. If it is contrary to the word, there is such a sword. ”

At this point, his right hand flipped over, pulled out the long sword from the bottom of the robe, wrenched his hands, and slapped, the sword blade was broken into two, he broke the long sword, and let the two broken swords fall, sneering twice, and the broken sword was inserted into the green brick.

When the heroes saw it, they were all shocked, from the sound of these two truncated swords inserted into the green bricks, this sword is obviously a sharp weapon for cutting gold and jade, breaking an ordinary steel sword with hand strength, with Liu Zhengfeng and other figures, he is not surprised, but such a 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 gate shouting: "Stop!"

Liu Zhengfeng was slightly startled, raised his head, and saw four men in yellow shirts walking into the gate. As soon as the four of them entered the door, they stood on both sides, and a very tall man in a yellow shirt entered from between the four of them.

This tall man held a five-color pennant in his hand, which was decorated with pearls and gemstones.

Many people who recognized this flag were all in their hearts: "The order flag of the leader of the Wuyue Sword Sect has arrived!"

The man walked up to Liu Zhengfeng, raised the flag and said, "Senior Uncle Liu, under the order of the main banner of the Wuyue Sword Sect's Left Alliance: Uncle Liu's golden basin washing hands is a major event, please postpone it temporarily." ”

Liu Zhengfeng's heart sank, and he thought: "It turns out that what Qian Qing said really happened! What can I do?"
