Chapter 141 Washing hands in gold basin

Chapter 141 Washing hands in gold basin

There were two fierce battles overnight. Yue Buqun was also worried about the ensuing safety issues. He did not refuse Li Zhidao's invitation and took all the Huashan disciples to Liu Mansion to arrange accommodation.

The next day, except for Liu Zhengfeng who was busy receiving guests, most of the others stayed in their rooms to recuperate.

The third day, April 23, was the day when Liu Zhengfeng washed his hands in the golden basin.

The head of the Huashan School, Yue Buqun, the head of the Hengshan School, Mr. Mo Da, the head of the Taishan School, Tianmen Daoist, and the master of the Baiyun Temple of the Hengshan School, Ding Yi, and others sat down in the inner hall early in the morning. Linghu Chong, Yilin and other close disciples Follow around.

As representatives of Wudang Emei, Li Zhidao, Ji Qiuqing, and Yuan Feixue naturally have official seats.

Because of the great strength he showed last night, Monk Bujie also got a seat in the inner hall, half of his mind was on the banquet, and half of his mind was on Yilin, making Master Dingyi stare back angrily at his repeated stares.

Other guests who had come to Hengshan City such as Qingcheng Sect leader Yu Canghai, Yandang master He Sanqi and others also entered the hall one after another and arranged to sit down.

Near noon, another five or six hundred tourists from afar came pouring in like a stream.

The beggar gang’s big gift divides the rudder and advocates Jin Ao, Zhengzhou Liuhemen Master Xia leads three sons-in-law, the Goddess of the Three Gorges of Sichuan and Hubei, Grandma Feng Tie, the rudder leader of the East China Sea Sand Gang, Pan Hou, the two friends of Qujiang, the magic knife Baike, the magic brush Lucis, etc. People come one after another.

Some of these people are familiar with each other, some of them just admire the name but have never met in person. For a while, there was a lot of noise in the hall to greet and introduce them.

Taoist Tianmen and Mrs. Dingyi are both monks who love quietness. They disliked the surroundings being too lively, so they took their leave one after another and went back to rest in the wing room. There are quite famous people in Jianghu, but some of them are obviously dubious people. Liu Zhengfeng is a master of Hengshan School, how can he be so self-respecting, won't he fall into the title of my Five Sacred Sword School?"

Although Yue Buqun's name is "Buqun", he loves friends very much. Many of the guests are unknown or have a bad reputation. As long as they come to talk to him, Yue Buqun will chat and laugh with them, He does not put on the airs of being the head of the Huashan School and superior to others.

The disciples of the Liu residence commanded the cooks and servants, and there were [-] seats set up inside and out.

The time is approaching, Liu Zhengfeng's relatives, followers, accountant, and Liu's disciples Xiang Danian, Mi Weiyi and others respectfully invite all the guests to the table.

According to the status and prestige in the martial arts and the age of the class, the head of Taishan School, Tianmen Taoist, should be the chief. It's just that the Wuyue Sword School is an alliance. It is convenient to sit on the seat, and all the seniors and celebrities also give in to each other, and no one is willing to sit on the top seat.

As a junior, Li Zhidao could only watch from the sidelines.

Suddenly, two gunshots were heard "bang bang" outside the door, followed by the sound of drums, and the sound of gongs and shouts. It was obvious that some high-ranking official had arrived outside the door.

"coming!"

Li Zhidao and Ji Qiuqing looked at each other, knowing that the drama was about to begin.The three of them knew that Liu Zhengfeng might not be able to escape this calamity, and they didn't want to get involved too much, as long as Linghu Chong's safety was guaranteed.

Everyone who came to congratulate was startled when they saw Liu Zhengfeng wearing a brand new Luo robe, hurriedly walking out of the inner hall.

When everyone saw it, they naturally cheered and congratulated him.

Liu Zhengfeng just cupped his hands slightly, and walked outside the door.

After a while, I saw him coming in respectfully accompanied by an official in official uniform.

Everyone felt strange: "Could it be that this official is also a master of martial arts?"

But even though he was well dressed, his eyes were dim and his face was full of wine, obviously he didn't have martial arts.

Yue Buqun and the others thought: "Liu Zhengfeng is a great gentleman in Hengshan City, and he usually has to make friends with the government. Today is a good day for him to rejoice. It's not surprising that the local officials came to perfunctory."

But the official walked straight in boldly, stood in the middle, and the yamen servant behind him knelt down on his right leg, raised his hands above his head, and presented a tray covered with yellow satin, on which was a scroll.

The official bowed, took the scroll, and said loudly: "The imperial decree has arrived, Liu Zhengfeng listens to it."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this: "Liu Zhengfeng washes his hands in a golden basin, seals his sword and returns to seclusion. That is a matter in the world. What has it to do with the court? Why did the emperor issue an imperial decree? Could it be that Liu Zhengfeng had a conspiracy and was discovered by the court? Yes, that is a serious crime of beheading and ransacking the family."

Everyone in the hall thought of this verse at the same time, and immediately stood up, grabbing their weapons impatiently.It is expected that since the official came to announce the decree, there must be a dense army of officers and soldiers around the Liu residence, and a big fight is inevitable.I have made good friends with Liu Zhengfeng, so I can't just ignore it, besides, how can there be any eggs under the overthrow of the nest, since I came to Liu's house to attend the meeting, I am a member of the rebellious party, how can I get it if I want to stay out of it?

Just waiting for Liu Zhengfeng to change his face and yell and curse, everyone will fight with swords, and they want to chop the official into meat sauce.

Unexpectedly, Liu Zhengfeng was as calm as usual, bent his knees, knelt down, kowtowed three times to the official, and said loudly: "My humble minister Liu Zhengfeng listens to the order, long live my emperor, long live long live."

When everyone saw it, they were all stunned.

The official unfolded the scroll and read: "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor's edict said: According to the governor of Hun Province, Liu Zhengfeng, a commoner in Hengshan County, is eager for public service and righteousness. He has made great achievements in his hometown and is skilled in bow and horse. I will serve the imperial court from now on and live up to my expectations. I appreciate this."

Liu Zhengfeng kowtowed again and said, "Thank you, my minister Liu Zhengfeng, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Standing up, he bowed to the official and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your cultivation and promotion."

The official Nian Xu smiled and said: "Congratulations, congratulations, General Liu, from now on you and I will be ministers, but why should you be polite?"

Liu Zhengfeng said: "The young general was originally a reckless man. Today, he was awarded an official by the court. It is true that the emperor has been favored and made the young general honor his ancestors, but it is also an extra-standard cultivation by the benevolent ministers, governor Zhou and Lord Zhang."

The official smiled and said, "Where, where."

Liu Zhengfeng turned his head to his brother-in-law Fang Qianju and said, "Brother Fang Xian, what about the gift from Mr. Zhang?"

Fang Qianju said: "It's been prepared here for a long time." Turning around, he took a round plate, which contained a brocade bundle.

Liu Zhengfeng held up the disc, and said with a smile, "A little courtesy is not a respect, so please accept it with a smile, Mr. Zhang."

The lord Zhang said with a smile: "My brother, but General Liu is so polite."

With a wink, the guard beside him took it.When the servant took the plate, his arms sank down, obviously the contents on the plate were really heavy, not silver but gold.

The lord Zhang smiled brightly and said: "Little brother is on official business, so I can't stay for long, come and pour three glasses of wine, congratulate General Liu on his appointment today, and he will be promoted again soon, the emperor's favor is endless. .”

Wine has been poured around.Master Zhang drank three cups in a row, cupped his hands, turned and went out.

Liu Zhengfeng smiled all over his face and walked straight to the gate.

Hearing the sound of gongs and shouts, Liu's mansion sent off guns again.

This scene was beyond everyone's expectation, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, silent, with embarrassment and surprise on their faces.

Although the guests who came to Liu's residence were not members of the underworld, nor did they commit crimes, they were all well-known in the martial arts circle, and they all regarded themselves very highly. They never looked down upon the government. A little military officer like a sesame mung bean who named the emperor a "general" was grateful, and he made all kinds of nasty expressions, and even offered bribes openly. They looked down on him in their hearts, and some people couldn't help but show contempt.

The older guests all thought: "Looking at this situation, his official hat must have been bought with gold and silver. I don't know how much gold and silver he spent to get the governor's recommendation. Liu Zhengfeng has always been an upright person, how can he not?" When it comes time to grow old, Li Lu is obsessed with buying an official to enjoy himself by any means?"

Li Zhidao, Ji Qiuqing, and Yuan Feixue just watched quietly. He didn't know how many scenes like this he had experienced when he was a reincarnator. He can't stand the scene!

"Let's find someone to deal with this kind of thing." Li Zhidao thought to himself, "For example... Kou Zhong? It's not far from June, you can try to abduct him and Xu Ziling to the Wudang faction. Well, that's right, that's it, Kou Zhong's slippery temperament is just right."

When he came back to his senses, he saw Liu Zhengfeng walking in front of the crowd, smiling all over his face, bowing to invite everyone to sit down.

No one was willing to take the chief seat, so the grand master's chair in the middle was left empty.On the left is the oldest Liuhemen Boxer Xia, and on the right is Jin Ao, the leader of the beggar gang.Although Zhang Jin'ao himself did not have any amazing arts, but the Beggar Gang is the largest gang in the Jianghu, and no one has any objection to his sitting on behalf of the Beggar Gang.

As for Li Zhidao, although it is said that he represents the Wudang faction, after all, there is no courtesy card, so it is not official, so he will not join in the fun.

Everyone sat down one after another, and the servants came up to offer food and drink.

Mi Weiyi brought out a coffee table covered with brocade.Xiang Danian was holding a golden pot with a diameter of half a foot long in both hands, and put it on the tea table. The pot was already filled with clear water.

There were only three bangs, bangs and bangs of guns being fired outside the door, followed by eight bangs and bangs of big firecrackers.

All the children of the younger generation who were seated in the back hall and flower hall flocked to the hall to watch the excitement.

Liu Zhengfeng walked into the hall with a smile on his face, clasped his fists and bowed to each other.

Everyone stood up and returned the salute.

Liu Zhengfeng said loudly: "All senior heroes, all good friends, all young friends. Everyone came from afar, Liu Zhengfeng really put gold on his face, and I am very grateful. Brothers wash their hands in the golden basin today, and from now on, they will only ask about the affairs of the world, everyone. You must know the reason. My brother has been granted the grace of the court to be a small official.

As the saying goes: To eat the emperor's salary is to be loyal to the emperor.Acting in the rivers and lakes pays attention to loyalty; but in state affairs, one must obey the law and obey 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 is no longer a disciple of the Hengshan Sect if he withdraws from the martial arts.If my disciples wish to switch to other sects, they can do whatever they want.

Mr. Liu invited everyone here to invite all good friends to be witnesses.In the future, when you come to Hengshan City, you will naturally still be good friends of Mr. Liu, but Mr. Liu will not ask or participate in all kinds of grievances and grievances in the martial arts. "As he said, he clasped his fists together and saluted.

Everyone had already expected what he said, and they all thought: "He only wants to be an official, everyone has his own ambitions, and he can't force himself to come. Anyway, he didn't offend me, so there is no such person in the martial arts world. "

Some thought: "This move really damages the brilliance of the Hengshan School, and Mr. Mo Da, the head of Hengshan School, must be very angry."

He raised his head and saw Mr. Mo Da's expression. Although he seemed calm in the old well, his face was not facing Liu Zhengfeng, which showed that he was really unhappy.

Some even thought: "Five Sacred Sword Sect has been acting heroically and righteously in the Jianghu in recent years, so that people admire them, but Liu Zhengfeng did such a thing. People don't dare to say anything in front of them, but they can't help being cold-hearted behind the scenes."

Looking at the sect leaders Yue Buqun, Tianmen Daoist and others, although they are all calm, but since they have no smiles, most of them disapprove in their hearts.

There were also people who gloated and wondered, "Why do you say that the Wuyue Sword School is a chivalrous sect? When they get promoted and get rich, why don't they kowtow to the officials? Why do you mention the word 'chivalry'?"

Perhaps Mrs. Dingyi was cursing in secret: "You retire, you retire, donating an official is nothing!"

Everyone had their own concerns, and for a while, there was no sound in the hall.Originally under this situation, everyone should have congratulated Liu Zhengfeng one after another, complimenting him such as "good luck and longevity", "retreat bravely from the rapids", "great wisdom and courage", etc., but there were more than a thousand people gathered together, and no one opened their mouths to speak .

Liu Zhengfeng turned around and said loudly: "Disciple Liu Zhengfeng was recruited by his mentor and taught him martial arts. He is very ashamed for not being able to Zhang Dahengshan sect. Fortunately, our sect is presided over by Brother Mo. Liu Zhengfeng is mediocre, so there is someone more Not much, less Liu and a lot.

From now on, Liu washes his hands and concentrates on officialdom, but he also decides not to pass on martial arts from his masters in order to get promoted to a noble. As for grievances and disputes in the world, and disputes between sects, Liu Zhengfeng will never intervene.If it goes against the words, there is such a sword. "

With a flip of his right hand, he drew out the long sword from the bottom of the robe, and with both hands, with a snap, the edge of the sword broke in two.He broke off the long sword, and swung the two broken swords down. There were two soft hissing sounds, and the broken swords were inserted into the green bricks.

When everyone saw it, they were all astonished. From the sound of the two broken swords being inserted into the green bricks, it was clear that this sword was a sharp weapon for cutting gold and jade. Breaking an ordinary steel sword with the strength of one's hand would not be the same for a person like Liu Zhengfeng. It's not surprising, but it is so easy to break a sword with such ease, the pure kung fu of the fingers is really the attainment of a first-class master in the martial arts.

Seeing that he is pampered and pampered, he looks like a doughty rich man. I really didn't expect his martial arts to be so good.

He Sanqi sighed, and said: "It's a pity, it's a pity!" I don't know whether he regrets this precious sword, or whether it's a pity that such a master as Liu Zhengfeng is willing to take refuge in the government.

Liu Zhengfeng smiled, rolled up his sleeves, stretched out his hands, and was about to put it into the golden basin, when suddenly someone outside the gate shouted sharply: "Hold on!"

"People from the Songshan School are here!" Li Zhidao immediately turned his head to look at Linghu Chong, and saw that he was standing behind Yue Buqun, surrounded by Huashan School disciples, so there shouldn't be much danger.

He looked at Yilin again, but saw that she was also standing beside Master Dingyi, looking at him. Suddenly, Li Zhidao felt a gaze looking at him, and when he turned his head, it turned out that it was Monk Bujie .

There seemed to be a lot of meaning in Monk Bujie's eyes, which made Li Zhidao a little puzzled.

 There will be a lot of original content in these chapters of "The Hands of the Golden Pen". I originally planned to revise some more, but in the end I found that there was not much that could be changed. After all, Li Zhidao and the others' identities and plans limited them to just being spectators and not being able to do anything. There are actually not many.

  Fortunately, the Wenhua List has passed the preliminary review, let's add a few more chapters to this news.

  This is Chapter 1, there should be three chapters today.

  In the end, it is still asking for collection!It’s almost 35 words. It’s not good if the collection is too low!
