The Road to Salvation

Chapter 26

ps: The chapters of Liu Zhengfeng Washing His Hands in the Golden Basin are a bit boring, so readers can skip them.

……

Suddenly there were two "bang bang" sounds of firecrackers outside the door, followed by the sound of drums and music, and the sound of gongs to clear the way, as if someone from the government had come outside the door.

Wearing a brand new ruffled robe, Liu Zhengfeng rushed out of the inner hall in a hurry.The heroes cheered and congratulated, Liu Zhengfeng cupped his hands slightly, and walked outside the door. After a while, he was seen coming in respectfully accompanied by an official in official uniform.

Liu Zhengfeng has been obsessed with piano music all his life, and he is tired of the struggles in the Jianghu. This time, he held this "Golden Basin Washing Hands" conference in order to be able to retreat to the Jianghu with his best friend Qu Yang.

In order not to be opposed and obstructed by fellow martial artists, he even spent money to donate the official status of a "participant general"!

Because as long as he is willing to withdraw from the arena, he will be a member of the imperial court from now on. If anyone dares to stop Liu Zhengfeng from washing his hands in the golden basin at this time, it will be against the imperial court!
It's a pity that Liu Zhengfeng underestimated Zuo Lengchan's courage and ambition!
Wang Ge knew that people from the Songshan faction were also coming, and also knew that they would threaten Liu Zhengfeng with the family members of the Liu family.

But Wang Ge was soft-spoken, even if he said these words, Liu Zhengfeng probably wouldn't believe them!

Because the Five Sacred Sword Schools have been in alliance for many years, the relationship between the five schools is close, and the disciples also help each other in the arena.

Before Zuo Lengchan's ambitions were exposed, all members of the Five Sacred Sword Sect would not have believed that Zuo Lengchan would be foolish and do such vile things!

Moreover, as the saying goes, "if you are far away, you can't be close."

As an outsider, Wang Ge couldn't tell Liu Zhengfeng about this!
Wang Ge was afraid that he would be regarded by Liu Zhengfeng as a spy of the Devil's Cult who sowed discord between the Wuyue Sword Sect!
If he asked Wang Ge how he knew about this, how should Wang Ge answer?

Wang Ge is just an ordinary talented scholar, how did he know this thing that even they don't know?
Needless to say, it must be a spy from the Devil's Cult who deliberately came to sow discord and destroy the relationship between the Wuyue Sword Sect!

Then Wang Ge will die wronged!He was obviously doing good deeds, but he was treated as a spy of the Devil's Cult!

In the future, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to learn from the Huashan School and attack Yue Lingshan!

It's hard to be a good person!
Therefore, Wang Ge just wrote these things in the letter, then put on a mask and found a messenger on the street, and asked him to deliver the letter to Liu Zhengfeng!
I can only do my best and obey the destiny!I hope Liu Zhengfeng will make plans early!

……

The official went straight in and stood in the middle. 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."

When the heroes heard this, they were all taken aback, and they had various guesses in their hearts.

Regardless of these, Liu Zhengfeng bent his knees, knelt down, kowtowed three times to the official, and said in a loud voice: "My minister Liu Zhengfeng listens to the decree, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

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

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

After that, Liu Zhengfeng complimented and thanked the decree official again, and even gave him a plate of gold as a gift.

The guests who came to Liu's Mansion, although they are not members of the underworld, nor are they criminals, but they are well-known in the martial arts, they are all people with high self-esteem, and they have never looked down upon the government!
Now seeing Liu Zhengfeng stalking the crowd, and being appointed by the emperor as a small military officer like a "general", he was very grateful!Not only did he make all kinds of nasty expressions, but he also openly offered bribes!Everyone looked down on him in their hearts, and some even couldn't help showing disdain.

Everyone thought: "Looking at the 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 did he come to be old?" , Li Lu is obsessed with it, and unexpectedly bought an official to do it by any means?"

After seeing off the edict-delivering officials, Liu Zhengfeng walked up to the heroes, smiling all over his face, and invited everyone to sit down.

No one was willing to take the chief seat, so the grand teacher's chair in the middle was left empty.On the left is Old Boxer Xia of Liuhemen, who lived the longest, and on the right is Advocate Jin Ao, deputy leader of the Beggars' Clan.Although Zhang Jin'ao himself has no amazing art, but the beggar gang is the largest gang in the Jianghu, and the leader of the beggar gang, Xie Feng, has a very high martial arts and reputation, so everyone respects him three points.

All the heroes 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 and a half in both hands, and placed it on the coffee table. The pot was already filled with clear water.

Liu Zhengfeng walked into the hall with a smile on his face, clasped his fists and bowed to each other, and all the heroes stood up to return the salute.

Liu Zhengfeng said loudly: "All of you have come from afar, Liu Zhengfeng really has gold on his face, I am very grateful. Brother washes his hands in a golden basin today, and from now on he will not ask about the affairs of the Jianghu. You must know the reason. Brother has received the court's grace, do A little official."

"As the saying goes: It is a matter of being loyal to the emperor. In the world of the rivers and lakes, loyalty is important. In public affairs, one must obey the law and obey the law in order to repay the emperor's kindness. If there is a conflict between the two, Liu Zhengfeng will inevitably find himself in trouble."

"So, from now on, Liu Zhengfeng will withdraw from the martial arts. If my disciples are willing to switch to other sects, they can do whatever they want. Liu invited everyone here to ask all the good friends to be a witness. In the future, everyone will come here Hengshan City is still a good friend of Mr. Liu, but Mr. Liu will not ask questions about all kinds of grievances and grievances in the martial arts world!"

The heroes had already expected such remarks from him, and they all thought: "He only wants to be an official, but everyone has his own ambitions, so he can't force himself to come. Anyway, he didn't offend me, so there will be no such person in the martial arts from now on. .”

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

All the heroes 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 on "good luck and longevity", "retire bravely", "great wisdom and great courage" and so on!
But now more than a thousand people gathered together, but no one spoke.

Seeing this, Liu Zhengfeng was neither embarrassed nor annoyed, but turned to face the outside, and continued to speak loudly: "Disciple Liu Zhengfeng was recruited into his sect by his mentor and taught him martial arts. He is very ashamed for not being able to make the Hengshan sect famous!"

"Fortunately, there is Brother Mo presiding over our sect. I, Liu Zhengfeng, are mediocre. If I am more, there are not many people, and if I am missing, there are many people. From now on, Mr. Liu will wash his hands in a golden basin, concentrate on his official career, and will definitely not use his master to teach martial arts. In order to be promoted to a noble!"

"As for the grievances and disputes in the Jianghu, and sect disputes, Liu Zhengfeng will never ask! If you break your oath, there is such a sword!"

Liu Zhengfeng flipped his right hand, pulled out the long sword from the bottom of his robe, swung his hands, and with a "snap", the blade snapped in two.He let the two broken swords fall down, and only heard two soft "chi" and "chi", the broken swords were inserted into the green bricks.

Judging from the sound of the two cut-off swords being inserted into the blue bricks, this sword is obviously a sharp weapon for cutting gold and jade.Breaking an ordinary steel sword with the strength of his hand is not unusual for a character like Liu Zhengfeng.

But if he lifts the weight so lightly and breaks a sword effortlessly, the kung fu of his fingers is really the attainment of a first-class master in the martial arts world!

An old-timer in Jianghu sighed and said, "It's a pity, it's a pity!"

I don't know whether he regretted this precious sword, or whether it was a pity that Liu Zhengfeng, such a master, would willingly go to the government.

With a smile on his face, Liu Zhengfeng rolled up his sleeves, stretched out his hands, and was about to put it into the golden basin, when suddenly someone shouted sharply from outside the gate: "Wait a minute!"

Wang Ge knew that this was the coming of the Songshan faction!I just don't know if Liu Zhengfeng has made arrangements in advance?
