After yesterday's words, knowing that there would be a fierce battle tomorrow, the four of them rested separately. Early the next morning, Qin Mu took Feiyan to Liu's mansion, as for Qu Yang, it was not appropriate to show up, and he didn't know where to hide at this time to observe the situation. If you don't have the power to restrain the chicken, you will naturally stay in the courtyard and wait for news.

By the time Qin Mu and the others had used their time in the street stall market and walked to the door of Liu's Mansion with the pace of eating, it was already three poles in the morning, and it was almost noon. Liu Zhengfeng had already entered the inner hall to greet those important guests, and at this time, nearly five or six hundred guests from afar outside the door poured in. Among them, there are a little fame in the rivers and lakes, including the deputy gang of the beggar gang advocate Jin Ao, the old boxer of Zhengzhou ** Menxia, who led the three sons-in-law, the goddess of the Three Gorges of Sichuan and Hubei Feng Tie Lao, the leader of the East China Sea Sand Gang Pan Roar, Qujiang Eryou Shendao Bai Ke, and the magic pen Lu Xisi and others. All of a sudden, the welcoming disciples in front of the door were in a hurry, where could they take care of the two people who tried to fish in troubled waters and enter the hall.

When Qin Mu and Qu Feiyan stood still in the hall, they looked coldly at the group of "heroes" greeting and flattering each other. I saw Liu Zhengfeng under the door to introduce the banquet to the smiling generals. Just as the people of the Wuyue faction were trying to sit down and let me let you, they suddenly heard two bangs outside the door, followed by the sound of drums, and the sound of gongs and shouts, indicating that the official mansion came 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 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 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." When the heroes heard this, they were all taken aback: "Liu Zhengfeng washed his hands in a golden basin and 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? Why did the emperor make a holy decree? Could it be that Liu Zhengfeng had a big conspiracy to find out to the imperial court, and that was a big crime of killing the head and robbing the family and punishing the nine clans." Everyone thought of this section in unison, and they all stood up at the time, and they couldn't hold their breath and grabbed the blades on their bodies, expecting that this official had come to announce the decree, and the Liu Mansion must have been densely packed with officers and soldiers before and after, and a big fight was inevitable, and he and Liu Zhengfeng were good friends, and they must not stand idly by. Unexpectedly, Liu Zhengfeng was as calm as constant, and as soon as his knees were bent, 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." When he stood up, he pulled the official closer, giving gifts and sending them out of the door.

This Liu Zhengfeng and the official laughed and laughed, it was really lively, but the heroes on the table were in an uproar, saying that chivalry is a martial arts taboo, whether it is a decent and evil faction, which one does not have a few lives in his hands, today Liu Zhengfeng has become a general of the imperial court, and it will be an embarrassing scene when he meets him in the future.

Liu Zhengfeng sent the official out with a smile on his face, turned around to the table, and only said a few words of patriotism for the loyal monarch in the rivers and lakes, and then invited everyone at the table to start drinking. Although the group had different ambitions and were full of doubts and speculations, no one stood up to stir up the situation.

Just as everyone was drinking, they saw Liu Zhengfeng standing up from the banquet, and the disciple beside him had already brought out a golden basin filled with clear water and respectfully placed it on the incense table. When everyone saw it, they all knew that the big drama that they had been waiting for a few days was about to start after all, and they were all in good spirits, watching his movements with blazing eyes.

I saw Liu Zhengfeng turn around and say loudly: "Disciple Liu Zhengfeng was included in the disciple by his mentor and taught martial arts, but he was very ashamed to fail to open the lintel of the Hengshan 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 washed his hands of gold and concentrated on the eunuchs, but he also decided not to use his master to pass on martial arts, in order to be promoted to the knighthood, and died of grievances and disputes on the rivers and lakes, sectarian disputes, Liu Zhengfeng was even more resolute not to 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, 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.

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!"

Qin Mu and Qu Feiyan glanced at each other, knowing that this drama was coming, and looked at the place where the voice came from at the door.

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 man held aloft a five-colored pennant in his hand, which was decorated with pearls and gemstones, and when it moved, it emitted a brilliant light. 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: "Uncle Liu, under the order of the main flag of the Left Alliance of the Wuyue Sword Sect: Uncle Liu's golden basin is a big deal, please postpone it temporarily." Liu Zhengfeng bowed down and said: "But I don't know what the intention of the alliance leader's order is?" The man said: "The disciple is acting on orders, but he really doesn't know the intention of the alliance leader, please ask Uncle Liu to forgive his sins." ”

Liu Zhengfeng smiled and said, "You're welcome. The virtuous nephew is the virtuous nephew of Qianzhang Songshi, right?" Although a smile appeared on his face, his voice trembled slightly, obviously this matter came very suddenly, and with so many people who had been in battle, he couldn't help but be greatly shocked.

That man was the disciple of the Songshan faction, Qianzhang Song Shi Dengda, he heard that Liu Zhengfeng knew his name and nickname, and he couldn't help but be proud in his heart, bowed slightly, and said, "Disciple Shi Dengda visits Uncle Liu." He grabbed a few steps, and saluted to Tianmen Daoren, Yue Buqun, Dingyi Shitai and others, and said, "Disciples of Songshan Sect, meet all the uncles and uncles. The other four men in yellow bowed at the same time. Master Dingyi liked it very much, and while bowing back, he said, "Your master came out to stop this matter, it couldn't be better." I said, we martial arts students are chivalrous and at ease, what kind of officials are we going to do? It's just that when I saw that Brother Liu Xian had all the arrangements in place, I would never listen to the old nun's persuasion, and I would not have to spend a lot of time. ”

Liu Zhengfeng's face was solemn, and he said: "Back then, my Wuyue Sword Sect formed an alliance, agreed to help each other in attack and defense, and maintain righteousness in the martial arts. This five-color flag is made by my five factions, and it is good to see the flag as if it were the leader of the alliance. However, it is Liu's private matter to wash his hands in today's golden basin, which does not violate the moral rules of martial arts, and has nothing to do with the Wuyue Sword Sect, so it is not subject to the alliance leader's banner order. Please ask Shi Xian's nephew to tell the respected teacher that Liu did not obey the flag order, and asked Senior Brother Zuo to forgive his sins. As he spoke, he walked towards the golden basin.

Shi Dengda shook his body, rushed to stop in front of the golden basin, held the pennant high in his right hand, and said: "Uncle Liu, my master has told me a thousand times, please ask Uncle to suspend the golden basin and wash his hands." My master said, the Wuyue Sword Sect is the same as each other, and everyone is like brothers. My master passed on this flag order, not only to take care of the friendship of the Wuyue Sword Sect, but also to maintain the righteousness in the martial arts, and also for the good of Uncle Liu. ”

Liu Zhengfeng said: "I don't understand. Liu's invitation to the golden basin hand-washing feast had already been respectfully sent to Songshan, and there was a long letter to Senior Brother Zuo. If Senior Brother Zuo really had such good intentions, why didn't he persuade him in advance? He didn't issue a flag order to stop him until this moment, didn't he clearly want Liu to go back on his word before the heroes of the world, and make the heroes on the rivers and lakes laugh at me?"

Shi Dengda said: "My master instructed his disciples, saying that Uncle Liu is a good man of the Hengshan faction, righteous and thin, and his colleagues in the martial arts have always respected Uncle Liu, and my master is also very admirable in his heart, and he must not be rude in the slightest, otherwise he will be severely punished." Uncle Liu's name is broadcast in the rivers and lakes, but there is no need to worry about this section. Liu Zhengfeng smiled slightly and said, "This is the leader of the Left League, Liu Mouyan has such a reputation?"

Seeing that the two were at a stalemate, Master Dingyi couldn't help but interject again: Brother Liu Xian, what's the point if this matter is put aside. All of you here today are good friends, so who will laugh at you? Even if there are one or two people who don't know what to do and make reckless comments, even if Brother Liu Xiandi doesn't care about him, the poor nun will let him go first. As she spoke, her eyes swept across everyone's faces, with a great sense of challenge, to see who was so bold to offend her fellow Daoists in the Wuyue Sword Sect.

Liu Zhengfeng nodded and said, "Since Mrs. Dingyi also said so, the matter of washing hands in the golden basin will be postponed until noon tomorrow." Please don't go, good friends, stay in Hengshan for one more day, and ask the virtuous nephews of the Songshan faction for advice. ”

At this moment, I heard an exclamation from the backyard!
