Liu Zhengfeng returned to the hall after sending off the adult, with a smile on his face, and invited the heroes to take a seat. Although the heroes were surprised and despised by Liu Zhengfeng's blatant purchase of officials, Liu Zhengfeng was the second-in-command of the Hengshan faction after all, so he did not show it.

When the heroes were seated, the servants brought food and wine. Then in the center of the hall, Mi Weiyi brought out a coffee table, which was covered with brocade. Another disciple of Liu Zhengfeng, Xiang Danian, held a golden basin in both hands and placed it on the coffee table, which was already filled with water. I only heard three bangs outside the door, followed by bangs, bangs, bangs, bangs, bangs,

A group of younger generations sitting in the back hall and flower hall flocked to the hall to see the excitement. Liu Zhengfeng walked into the hall with a smile and hugged his fists. The crowd stood up and saluted back.

I only heard Liu Zhengfeng say 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 no longer asked about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, 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 you 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 detrimental 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. ”

Of course, there are also people who gloat and think: "What do you say about the Wuyue Sword Sect being a chivalrous sect, and when you encounter a promotion and make a fortune, isn't it a baba kowtowing to officials?"

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 longevity", "brave retreat from the rapids", "great wisdom and bravery", etc., but more than 1,000 people gathered together, and no one spoke.

Ye Xiao said loudly: "Liu Sanye can retreat bravely from fame and fortune, and I should be a role model, and I congratulate Liu Sanye on his full life!"

In the silent hall, Ye Xiao's voice was extremely abrupt, and when he landed, all the heroes in the hall looked at him, but Ye Xiao looked indifferent. Immediately, the group of heroes congratulated one after another, and Liu Zhengfeng thanked him again and again, and finally threw a grateful look at Ye Xiao.

After calming down, Liu Zhengfeng turned around and said loudly: "Disciple Liu Zhengfeng was accepted by his master and taught martial arts, but now he is very ashamed to fail 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, but he will never use the master to pass on martial arts, in order to be promoted to the knighthood, the grievances on the rivers and lakes, the sect disputes, Liu Zhengfeng is even more resolute not to ask. If it is contrary to the word, there is such a sword. After speaking, he flipped his right hand, pulled out the long sword from the bottom of the robe, wrenched his hands, and slapped it, and the blade of the sword was broken into two.

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!"

Ye Xiao said secretly, here! At the same time, he looked outside Liu's mansion.

I 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 then 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 recognized this flag at a glance, and their hearts were full of joy: "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 expression tightened when he heard this, and he bowed down and said, "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, but I ask Uncle Liu to forgive me." ”

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 Zuo Lengchan 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." Then he grabbed a few steps and saluted to Tianmen Daoren, Yue Buqun, Dingyi Shitai and others, and said, "Disciples of Songshan, meet all the uncles and uncles. The other four men in yellow bowed at the same time.

Master Dingyi was very happy in her heart, and while bowing back, she 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, so what are we going to do as officials? It's just that when I saw that Brother Liu Xiandi had all the arrangements in place, he would never listen to the old nun's persuasion, and I wouldn't have to spend a lot of time. Dingyi Shitai, who obviously didn't know Liu Zhengfeng's true intentions, didn't want Liu Zhengfeng to withdraw from the rivers and lakes at the beginning, but now seeing Zuo Lengchan come forward to stop it, he was naturally happy in his heart.

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, washing hands in today's golden basin is Liu's private matter, 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 flag 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, obviously Liu Zhengfeng had already sniffed out a hint of danger.

Seeing this, Shi Dengda shook his body, stopped in front of the golden basin, and said, "Uncle Liu, my master has told me a thousand times, please suspend your hands." My master said, the Wuyue Sword Sect is the same as the branches, and everyone is like a brother. His old man 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 frowned and said: "This is strange, Liu's invitation to wash his hands in the golden basin has already been sent to Songshan respectfully, and in addition, Liu has also written a long letter to Senior Brother Zuo, if Senior Brother Zuo really has such good intentions, why didn't he persuade him in advance?

Shi Dengda said: "My master instructed his disciples, Uncle Liu is a good man of the Hengshan faction, righteous and thin, colleagues in the martial arts have always respected Uncle Liu, and my master is also very admired 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 matter to 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 suddenly heard a woman's voice in the back hall shouting: "Hey, what are you doing here? Who do I like to play with, can you control it?" The group of heroes were stunned, and listening to her accent was Qu Feiyan, a girl who had raised her bar with Yu Canghai a day earlier.

I heard a man's voice say, "You sit quietly for me, don't talk about it, and after a while, I will naturally let you go." ”

Qu Feiyan said: "Hey, this is strange, is this your home? I like to go to the back garden with my sister Liu to catch butterflies, why don't you stop it?"

The man said, "Okay, you have to go, go by yourself, please Miss Liu stay here for a while." ”

Qu Feiyan said: "Sister Liu said that she hated you when she saw you, so you should go far away for me." Sister Liu doesn't recognize you, who wants you to be entangled here. ”

I heard another woman's voice say, "Sister, let's go, ignore him." ”

The man said, "Miss Liu, please stay here for a while." ”
