On the third day, Liu Zhengfeng's golden basin handwashing conference officially began. In the past two days, Ye Xiao walked around Hengshan City, and finally appreciated the ancient city scenery in a real sense. It's like a TV series, there are all kinds of hawkers on the street, and there are some joint performers, who have seen everything from fortune telling and stealing. Of course, the Qinglou has also seen a lot, in addition to the Jade Courtyard in Hengshan City, there are several Qinglou, to be honest, he really has the idea to go to the Qinglou to shop, but unfortunately in the end he still failed to pass his psychological level.

In addition to visiting Hengshan City, he practiced martial arts in the guest room the rest of the time. As he became more and more accustomed to the world of martial arts, the more he knew that in such a world, only if his fists were hard enough could he live comfortably.

"Little Er!" Ye Xiao came down from upstairs and beckoned the shopkeeper over.

The shopkeeper naturally ran over, and in the past two days, he found that this customer was very bold, and he would give a reward every time he asked him to finish his errands, so he was very diligent in greeting Ye Xiao.

"Childe, what are your orders?" said the shopkeeper respectfully.

Ye Xiao said: "Check out, and lead my horse out." ”

"Hmm, Childe, aren't you staying here?" Hearing this, the shopkeeper was inevitably a little disappointed in his heart, after all, there were relatively few bold guests like Ye Xiao.

"Yes, please settle it for me. Ye Xiao said.

"Good Ratcha. The shopkeeper answered, settled the account for Ye Xiao, and then went to the stable to lead Ye Xiao's horse out.

Ye Xiao turned over and threw a little broken silver to the shopkeeper, saying, "Thank you, little second brother." ”

"Childe, go slowly!"

Ye Xiao rode his horse towards Liu's Mansion, thinking about what was going to happen in Liu's Mansion today. In the original work, on the day when Liu Zhengfeng washed his hands, he would be washed in blood by the Songshan faction, and all the old and young generals of Liu Zhengfeng's family would die, and Liu Zhengfeng himself would die from menopause with Qu Yang.

Unconsciously, he has come to the front of Liu's house, today is the day of Liu Zhengfeng's golden basin to wash his hands, at this time in front of Liu's mansion people come and go, all are people on the rivers and lakes, Liu Zhengfeng himself also personally greeted the guests in front of the door.

Liu Zhengfeng saw Ye Xiao from a distance, and hurriedly greeted him, with a smile on his face: "Ye Shaoxia, you are here, Liu has been waiting for a long time." ”

Ye Xiao turned over and dismounted, made a gesture, and said, "Liu Sanye is so polite, so I am really flattered. ”

Liu Zhengfeng said with a smile: "Ye Shaoxia can come, Liu's mansion is full of brilliance, come, Ye Shaoxia, please come in quickly." ”

Then Ye Xiao and Liu Zhengfeng walked into the door hand in hand, and the guests along the way saw such a scene, and they all showed surprised eyes and discussed a lot. "Who is this young man?, let Liu Sanye greet him personally!" "Which one can make Liu Sanye so respectful, is not the head of a faction or a martial arts senior, how can this young man also let Liu Sanye greet him so respectfully?!"

When he and Liu Zhengfeng entered the hall, there were already many people in the hall, Tianmen Daoren, Yue Buqun, Dingyi Shitai, He Sanqi and others saw Ye Xiao come in, and they also got up to greet each other. Obviously, everyone already knows about Ye Xiao's killing of Yu Canghai, and all of them here are righteous people, and now because of the golden book, righteous people will be unconsciously close to Ye Xiao.

Yue Buqun stepped forward, made a gesture, and said, "Ye Shaoxia, don't come to harm, right?"

Ye Xiao returned the salute and said, "Mr. Yue is polite, I don't know how Brother Lin is good?" In the hall, he only saw Yue Lingshan and other Huashan disciples, but he didn't see Lin Pingzhi, so he asked.

"Pingzhi has gradually recovered in the past two days, but he is still a little unwell, so he didn't let him follow, thank you Ye Shaoxia for your concern. Yue Buqun said.

"Huh...... It's okay. ”

Then everyone in the hall greeted each other again, and everyone seemed to avoid the topic of the Qingcheng faction intentionally or unintentionally. For this, Ye Xiao naturally didn't care, he has now made up his mind, and when the people sent by Songshan come, he will have to take care of it again.

It was almost noon, and the Liu Mansion was already full of people, and the guests who should have come had already come. The old boxer of Zhengzhou ** Menxia led three sons-in-law, the goddess of the Three Gorges of Sichuan and Hubei Feng Tie, the leader of the East China Sea Sand Gang Pan Roar, Qujiang Eryou 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 respectively, not greeting everyone, and they all thought: "Among today's visitors, some of them are quite famous and famous in the rivers and lakes, and some are obviously indiscriminate. Liu Zhengfeng is a master of the Hengshan faction, how can he be so ignorant of self-respect, so **, wouldn't he fall into the name of my Wuyue Sword Sect?"

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.

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 an 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, and presented 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 make a big move for the imperial court, and that was a big crime of killing the head and stealing 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.

Only Ye Xiao, who had known about this plot for a long time, was still sitting peacefully, and his actions naturally caused some people to be dissatisfied, but no one pursued it at this time, only occasionally glanced at him with disdain.

I saw that 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 holy decree 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 and said: "Weichen Liu Zhengfeng is grateful, 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 said: "The young general was originally a reckless horseman, and today he was awarded an official by the imperial court, which is the emperor's grace and wide beneficial, so that the young general will glorify his ancestors, but he is also the over-qualified cultivation of the Dao Grace Minister, the Governor and the Lord Zhang." ”

The official laughed, "Where, where." ”

Liu Zhengfeng turned his head to 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 little courtesy, not a respect, please ask Lord Zhang to smile." ”

The Lord Zhang smiled and said, "My brother, Lord Liu is so polite." Then he winked, and the servant beside him took it. When the officer took the plate, his arms sank downward, and it was evident that the contents of the plate were not light, not silver but gold.

Seeing this, the adult Zhang immediately smiled, and said: "The younger brother is on official business, and it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, come and come, pour three glasses of wine, and congratulate General Liu on his appointment today, and soon he will be promoted to the rank of knight, and the emperor's grace will be added to the throne." "I've already poured wine left and right. Mr. Zhang saluted 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 everyone's faces were embarrassed and surprised.

Although the guests who came to Liu's Mansion were not ** people, nor were they guilty of rebellion, they all had their own fame in the martial arts, and they were all self-esteemed figures, and they had never looked down on the government. The older guests thought, "Look at this situation, his official hat must have been bought with gold and silver, and I don't know how much gold and silver he spent to buy the governor's guarantee." Liu Zhengfeng has always been an upright person, how can he come to old age, and he is so distracted by Lilu that he actually buys an official to do it by unscrupulous means?"

Only Ye Xiao knew that the reason why Liu Zhengfeng did this was actually a last resort, Liu Zhengfeng knew that he was acquainted with Qu Yang, the elder of the Sun Moon God Sect, even if he washed his hands and withdrew from the rivers and lakes today, once his friendship with Qu Yang was exposed, I am afraid that he would suffer trouble, and now that he has become an official of the imperial court, even if someone wants to do something to him, he will have to consider the pressure of the imperial court, and he also needs a reason to withdraw from the rivers and lakes, and becoming an official of the imperial court is naturally the best reason.
