Infinite cycle of the heavens

Afterwards, no one knew what Yilin had said to Mrs. Dingyi except the people from the Hengshan School. All they knew was that Mrs. Dingyi's face was very ugly, and she left the Liu residence like a mad lion. He went to the place where the disciples of the Huashan sect lived, and forcibly snatched away Yue Buqun's daughter, Yue Lingshan. Along the way, he slapped the other male disciples seventeen or eight times, making them all look like pigs' heads.

Regarding the matter between the Hengshan faction and the Huashan faction, the insiders were all ignorant, but the gossip about Yilin and Linghuchong still spread in Hengyang City.

……

After fulfilling the good deeds of Linghu Chong and Yilin, Qi Fang ignored them and came to wait outside Hengyang City.

This day is exactly the auspicious day for Liu Zhengfeng to choose the golden basin to wash his hands.

A team of more than ten people appeared on the official road, among them were four bearers in yellow cloth clothes carrying an official sedan chair, and there were seven or eight yamen servants in official uniforms leading the way in front of them.

"coming!"

Seeing this team, Qi Fang's eyes lit up immediately. 46

Chapter 8 The Golden Basin Washing Your Hands

On the day when the Jinpen washed his hands, Liu's house was full of guests, nearly 600 people came. Some of them were familiar with Liu Zhengfeng, they had dealt with each other, and they came here specially to witness this moment; I haven't met in person, I just came here for the name.

When there are too many people, there will be mixed fish and dragons.

Among these people, some of them are quite famous in Jianghu, but some of them are dubious people, neither good nor evil.

Master Dingyi, Taoist Tianmen and other top figures in the orthodox martial arts world looked down on these people of three religions and nine streams, and simply stayed in the wing room, not bothering to greet these people.

Yue Buqun also stayed in the wing room, and it was very rare that he didn't go out to socialize. At this time, his face was a little gloomy, and it could be seen that he was very unhappy. His eyes swept over the disciples with swollen heads and faces, and he snorted coldly: " De Nuo, have you found Linghu Chong?"

Lao Denuo said: "Back to Master, the disciples have searched Hengyang City, but they haven't found Senior Brother."

Yue Buqun said coldly: "The traitor has done such a treasonous thing, ruined the family style, and now he is hiding and afraid to see people?"

Yue Lingshan's eyes were red, her mood was very depressed, she still had a little luck in her heart, and said, "Daddy, senior brother is not that kind of person, could there be... could there be some misunderstanding."

Yue Buqun said: "Misunderstanding? The sword of the traitor is in the hands of Mrs. Dingyi, this matter can be false! It's all because the teacher is too arrogant and indulgent towards him, otherwise he would not have developed his lawless temperament , so that he made such a big mistake... Hey, what face does the teacher have to face Master Dingyi and fellow Jianghu."

The other disciples were like quails, bowing their heads and not daring to answer.

Near noon, Liu Zhengfeng's disciples came to inform them to watch the ceremony in the front hall.

Yue Buqun had no choice but to leave the wing room, and when he came to the front hall, he ran into Mrs. Dingyi again.Mrs. Dingyi snorted coldly at him, she didn't show any kindness.Yue Buqun didn't dare to get angry, so he could only smile with a shy face.

The front hall of the Liu Mansion was packed with nearly [-] seats, and when everyone was about to take their seats, they suddenly heard two bangs of "bang" and "bang" from outside the door, followed by the sound of drums, and the sound of gongs and shouts. , obviously there are official figures coming.

Hearing the sound of rites and music, Liu Zhengfeng immediately straightened his clothes, walked quickly to the door, and saw a young man in his early twenties stepping down from the official sedan chair.

Liu Zhengfeng was a little surprised, how could his superiors send such a young official to announce the decree, could it be some high official's son-in-law came down to fish for money.Even though he was thinking this way in his heart, he did not dare to be slack in the slightest on his face, he hurriedly came forward and saluted, "Liu Zhengfeng, a grassroots man, has seen Your Excellency, and Your Excellency has come from a long way, and Liu Zhengfeng has lost his way to welcome him, and I hope Your Excellency will forgive his sins. "

The young man waved his hand and said: "There is no need to be too polite, I am here on order, let's get down to business first."

Liu Zhengfeng stood up, took out a stack of bank notes from his sleeve and stuffed them into the young man's hands, and said politely: "My lord said that he is a low-level and dull person, and he needs to be cultivated by his lord. I haven't asked your lord how to call him."

The young man put away the bank note and said casually: "Your Majesty Liu, you are too polite. I am an official. I am in charge of the six gates of Nanyang. In the future, you and I will be officials in the same palace, so we need to take care of you. Stop gossiping, let's still It’s important to get the business done first.”

Liu Zhengfeng didn't notice anything wrong either, he raised his hand and said falsely, "Yes, Mr. Qi please."

The two entered the hall one after the other.

The martial artists in the hall were all stunned when they saw Liu Zhengfeng coming in with a young official.Some people thought in their minds that Liu Zhengfeng is a well-known local gentry and rich man in Hengyang, and he had to deal with local officials. Today he washed his hands in the gold bowl, and it is normal for officials to come to congratulate him.

Qi Fang went straight in with his head held high, stood still in the center of the hall, and raised his voice: "The imperial decree has arrived, Liu Zhengfeng listens to the decree."

Just when the heroes were astonished, Liu Zhengfeng knelt down on his knees, and said loudly: "My minister Liu Zhengfeng listens to the decree, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

The yamen next to him had already bowed his knees to deliver the imperial decree, Qi Fang picked up the imperial decree, and read aloud: "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor's edict said: According to the governor of Hunan Province, Liu Zhengfeng, a concubine in Hengyang Mountain County, is anxious for justice and righteous, and his merits are in Sang Zhang, if you are proficient in bows and horses, your talents are worthy of great use. I am truly entrusted with the post of general, and I will serve the court in the future and live up to my expectations. I appreciate this."

Liu Zhengfeng kowtowed again and said: "My humble minister, Liu Zhengfeng, thank you, long live my emperor, long live, long live." After standing up, he said: "I also want to thank you for your kindness and appreciation, the promotion of the governor and the cultivation of Lord Qi, brother Fang Xian, I pay respect to Lord Qi. What about presents?"

A middle-aged man beside Liu Zhengfeng said, "I've already prepared to be here."

As he said that, he turned around and took a disc, in which was a brocade bundle.

Qi Fang winked, asked the yamen servant next to him to accept the money, and then said: "After the business is done, we can gossip. Qi has always been very curious about martial arts, and I heard that Brother Liu is also considered an important figure in Jianghu. No. [-] person, I am about to wash my hands in the golden basin today. As the saying goes, it is better to come sooner than later. Qi has only heard of washing hands in the golden basin before, and he has never met him. Today coincides with the meeting, but it is an eye-opener. I was about to ask Brother Liu for a glass of water and wine, I wonder if Brother Liu welcomes you."

Liu Zhengfeng was taken aback, thinking why this official didn't play cards according to common sense, after all he was a young child.In his mouth, he hurriedly said: "Master Qi can appreciate face, but it is Liu's blessing, how dare he refuse. Sir Qi, please sit up."

Qi Fang nodded, he was not polite at all, he strode up to the chief to sit down, his eyes swept over the heroes in the hall, without the slightest hint of guilt, and he didn't care about the opinions of others, he just smiled and said: "Brother Liu is not Do you want to wash your hands in a golden basin, let's start quickly."

"it is good."

Liu Zhengfeng responded, and immediately a disciple brought out a coffee table covered with brocade.Another disciple came out holding a shining golden basin with a diameter of half a foot and placed it on the coffee table.

The basin is already full of water.

Liu Zhengfeng walked up to the tea table, clasped his fists together, and said, "All senior heroes, all good friends, all young friends. Everyone came from afar. Liu Zhengfeng is really grateful for the gold on his face. Brother wash your hands today, From now on, I will only ask about the affairs of Jianghu, and everyone must know the reason... 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 because All good friends, please bear witness that when you come to Hengshan City in the future, you will naturally still be good friends of Mr. Liu, but Mr. Liu will not ask any questions about all kinds of grievances and grievances in the martial arts world."

After saying these scenes, Liu Zhengfeng rolled up his sleeves, stretched out his hands and was about to put them into the golden basin.

At this moment, someone outside the door shouted sharply: "Hold on!"

Qi Fang frowned, and said in his heart: "Here we come, the show is about to begin."

Hearing the sound, the group of heroes immediately looked towards the main entrance, and saw four men in yellow shirts walking in. They stood on both sides, but they were the pioneers in the middle, followed by another tall man in yellow shirts, who walked straight in from the middle of the four of them. .

This person is Zuo Lengchan's direct disciple, Shi Dengda nicknamed "Thousand Zhang Pine".He held a five-color pennant in his hand, the flag was studded with pearls and gemstones, emitting a brilliant precious light.

"The leader of the Wuyue Sword Sect ordered the flag to arrive."

Shi Dengda walked up to Liu Zhengfeng, raised his flag and said, "Uncle Liu, by the order of the leader of the left leader of the Wuyue Sword Sect, Master Liu washes his hands in the golden basin, please postpone it for now."

Liu Zhengfeng said: "But I don't know what the leader's order is for?"

Shi Dengda said: "I acted according to the order, but I really don't know the will of the leader. I ask Master Liu to forgive me."

Liu Zhengfeng said solemnly: "Back then, our Five Sacred Sword Sect formed an alliance, agreed to help each other offensively and defensively, and maintain righteousness in the martial arts. When encountering matters related to the Five Sects, everyone must obey the leader's orders. This five-color command flag is from our Five Sects. Co-system, seeing Lingqi is like meeting the leader, it is good. However, washing hands in the golden basin today is Liu’s private matter. It has not violated the moral rules of martial arts, and it has nothing to do with the Wuyue Sword Sect. Order to restrain. Please tell Master Shi Xian that Liu did not follow the banner order, please forgive me, Senior Brother Zuo."

As he spoke, he walked towards the golden basin.

Shi Dengda swayed, stopped in front of the golden basin, held up the command flag and said, "Uncle Liu, my master has urged me to ask the uncle to wait for the golden basin to wash his hands. My master said that the Five Sacred Sword School is united in spirit, and everyone loves each other." Ruo brother. My master passed on this flag order, not only for the friendship of Gu Quan Wuyue Sword Sect, but also for maintaining the righteousness in the martial arts, and also for the good of Master Liu."

For a while, the two were at a stalemate.

Mrs. Dingyi has the most fiery temper. Seeing the two of them froze, she also advised from the side, saying: "Brother Zuo came out to stop this matter, that would be the best thing. I said, for us martial arts students, chivalry is the most important thing." What are you going to do to be an official? Liu Xiandi, since the leader of the left alliance has come forward to persuade you, there is no harm in putting this matter aside for now. Don’t you think so, Mr. Jianyue?”

Yue Buqun nodded hastily, and said: "The teacher is right."

Liu Zhengfeng said: "Since both of you said so, then..."

He hadn't finished his sentence when he heard a loud noise, but Qi put it up and overturned the table, got up and pointed at Master Dingyi and shouted angrily: "Under the whole world, is it the king's land? On the shore of the land, Could it be a royal subject? What's wrong with being an official? You old nun is really presumptuous, and your words are disrespectful, and you don't take me seriously as an official of Ming Dynasty. Could it be that you want to rebel."
