Chapter Twenty-Four: Hypocrite or True Villain, Which Do You Prefer?

Since Yue Buqun had relented, Lin Nuo did not continue to be aggressive, and after nodding, he returned to his seat, poured himself a drink, and no longer cared about anyone.

Seeing that Yue Buqun, the old fox, had resolved the crisis with an understatement, many people were faintly disappointed in their hearts, originally they still wanted to see, if the gentleman's sword and the spear god Lin Nuo in front of him fought, who would be strong and who would be weak?

"Lin Daxia, you are a senior master, let's come to the main hall to take a seat!"

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased a lot, Liu Zhengfeng arranged for his disciples to clean up the blood stains and corpses in the courtyard, and walked down the steps, wanting to invite Lin Nuo to sit in the main hall.

"No need, I'm very comfortable sitting here, Mr. Liu should greet the other guests first, I'm going to be too busy later!"

Liu Zhengfeng persuaded a few more words, but seeing that Lin Nuo really had no intention of going to the main hall to take a seat, he no longer insisted on it, and after confessing, he got up to greet the new guests.

Now that it is almost noon, most of the guests who have come back at this point are some figures who have a face in the rivers and lakes, such as Yue Buqun before, and Jin Ao, the deputy gang of the beggar gang who has just arrived.

Next, Zhengzhou Liuhemen Xia Lao Boxer led three sons-in-law, the Sichuan-Hubei Three Gorges Goddess Feng Tie Lao Gang Leader, the East China Sea Sand Gang Leader Pan Roar, Qujiang Eryou Shendao Bai Ke, Shenbi Luxisi and others arrived one after another.

The guests in the entire Liu Mansion have reached five or six hundred people so far.

A group of people from the rivers and lakes gathered bustlingly, talking about interesting things in the rivers and lakes, and many people frequently turned their eyes to Lin Nuo's table, and it seemed that they had learned about Lin Nuo's recent achievements in other people's mouths.

Some young chivalrous people from small sects and small families faintly moved the idea of apprenticeship in their hearts.

Lin Nuo's practice of killing people without saying a word is more in line with young people's perception of the rivers and lakes, in their opinion, this is what they really yearn for in their hearts!

During this period, Mrs. Dingyi of the Hengshan faction took Yilin's little nun to Lin Nuo's table, regardless of whether Lin Nuo was willing to take care of them or not, and asked Yilin to kowtow in front of Lin Nuo to thank her, which was regarded as thanking the other party for her help.

In addition to Dingyi Shitai, Yue Buqun of the Huashan faction also brought Linghu Chong to make amends to Lin Nuo.

Although Yue Buqun's name is Buqun, he 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 stand of being the head of the Huashan faction and superior to others.

For Yue Buqun, Lin Nuo has no ill feelings, some people think he is a hypocrite, but Lin Nuo doesn't think so.

Yue Buqun is certainly a hypocrite, but at the very least, under the condition that his own interests are not touched, he is also a harmless head of a personal animal, and what he wants is nothing more than wanting the Huashan faction to grow again.

Some people say that hypocrites are more hateful than real villains, and on the contrary, real villains are more likeable.

People who have this kind of thinking, in Lin Nuo's view, are naïve and do not have much social experience at all.

No matter how true the villain is, it is also a villain, and the villain will always act without scruples or unscrupulous means.

No matter how hypocritical a hypocrite is, at least on the surface he is a gentleman, he will be bound by benevolence, righteousness and morality, he will care about his reputation, he will have all kinds of concerns, he will not dare to act unscrupulously, at the very least, he will not mess around on the surface.

Throughout the ages, most of the so-called gentlemen, in Lin Nuo's view, are actually hypocrites.

It's just that no one provokes them, no one touches their interests, so these hypocrites have disguised themselves all their lives and become true gentlemen recognized by the world.

After all, even if you are a hypocrite, if you do it for a long time, over time, you will slowly identify yourself as a gentleman, and a hypocrite may not become a true gentleman.

In fact, in Lin Nuo's opinion, if it weren't for the Songshan faction's Zuo Lengchan who has always been aggressive and wants to plot the foundation of Huashan, Yue Buqun may not have completely blackened and changed from a hypocrite to a real villain.

Compared with Ling Hu Chong, a prodigal son of the rivers and lakes who likes to be unrestrained and unwilling to be bound by anything, Lin Nuo prefers to contact a faction leader like Yue Buqun who has concerns and has all kinds of constraints and considerations.

Because people like Yue Buqun have too many things to worry about, there is a possibility that they can be subdued and used by Lin Nuo in the future.

And Ling Hu Chong, a prodigal son, just wants to be happy in doing things, and he doesn't care at all what impact his actions will have on the sect behind him, and it is impossible to make him surrender to someone to do things.

Therefore, when Yue Buqun brought Ling Hu Chong to make amends, Lin Nuo chatted with the other party very politely, and as for Ling Hu Chong, he didn't bother to take a look at it from beginning to end.

This kind of prodigal son has no value in cultivating and wooing at all, because you can't keep the other party's heart at all.

Just when Lin Nuo and Yue Buqun were chatting, they suddenly heard two bangs outside the door, followed by the sound of drums, and the sound of gongs and shouts.

I saw Liu Zhengfeng wearing a brand-new familiar robe, hurriedly running out of the inner hall, and after a while, I saw him respectfully accompanying an official in official uniform to come in.

"Master, is this official also a martial arts master?" asked Ling Hu Chong with some curiosity.

Yue Buqun looked at it, although this official was dressed in brocade, his eyes were dizzy, his face was wine-colored, and he obviously did not have martial arts, and he smiled at the moment: "Liu Zhengfeng is a great gentleman in Hengshan City, and it is inevitable to make friends with the government in ordinary times, today is a good day for him to be happy, and it is not surprising that local officials come to perfunctory." ”

Lin Nuo watched this scene quietly, and then, Liu Zhengfeng accepted the canonization of the imperial court and became a glorious general in the surprised looks on the faces of a group of people in the rivers and lakes.

Staffing generals, in the military attache system, are already second only to the general army and deputy generals, and they are considered high-level generals, but in today's Ming Dynasty, military attachés and generals are not taken seriously, even if they are a general, in the eyes of these Jianghu people, that is, a sesame petty official, if they do not lead the troops, they are not as powerful as a magistrate.

Looking at Liu Sanye of Hengshan, who was originally famous in the rivers and lakes, suddenly turned into an eagle dog of the imperial court, a group of people in the rivers and lakes suddenly felt disdainful in their hearts, feeling that they were unlucky today, if they had known that Liu Zhengfeng was going to return to the imperial court, they would not even come.

Just when Liu Zhengfeng received the order to thank him, Fang Yun, who was dressed as a person from the rivers and lakes, hurriedly came to Lin Nuo's side, and whispered in his ear: "My lord, the brocade guards around Hengshan are unwilling to accept your dispatch!"

"Huh?" Lin Nuo's face turned slightly cold, as a thousand households, the Jinyi guards in these places, how dare they disobey?
