It was almost noon in Liu Mansion, and the auspicious time was about to arrive. Five to six hundred Jianghu guests came to the Liu Residence's reception hall. Liu Zhengfeng was a gentleman from a wealthy family in Hengshan City and a rare expert in the Hengshan Sect. He had many Jianghu friends.
Today, he wore a brand new light yellow long-sleeved robe. All the famous and unknown people from all walks of life were smiling in the Flower Hall. After everyone entered, they cupped their fists and congratulated him. Liu Zhengfeng cupped his hands slightly and hurriedly went out to welcome them.
At this moment, the servants, disciples, and others had already served the banquet, and there were more than two hundred tables placed inside and outside. There was a slight difference. The seats near the main hall were all famous people in the Jianghu.
The lead seats were ranked according to the fame of the people in the martial world. The disciples of the Liu Sect, Xiang Danian, Mi Weiyi, and the others were handled quite appropriately. Moreover, the Jianghu people saw that they were all a group of people with high reputations, and there was no disturbance of fighting for the throne.
In the meantime, Yu Canghai also came to the chief seat's table and began to sneer in his heart. Up until now, Liu Zhengfeng had not realized that he was about to die."Why does the Evil Prince want him to save the Liu family?”
He still hadn't figured out Gao Zhan's thoughts until now. He just asked him to help out a little. If Mount Song really wanted to kill him, teach him to save him. Originally, he was afraid of Mount Song, but with the Evil Prince's intervention, he was not afraid.
Moreover, he had already obtained the Evil-Warding Sword Manual from the Evil Prince. He had been studying it for more than a month, and his martial arts cultivation had improved greatly. He also wanted to show off in front of the people of Jianghu and make the name of Xichuan Qingcheng Monastery known.
From the bottom of his heart, Yu Canghai was very grateful for Gao Zhan's help, so when he sent someone to send the message, Gao Zhan also gave him a bottle of healing medicine. At that time, he had already castrated himself and was recuperating, which made him feel at ease.
Initially, Yu Canghai did not plan to come. After all, his baby had just been cut off and was injured quite badly. However, under Gao Zhan's healing medicine, he recovered in ten days.
Moreover, he could also use this matter to communicate with the Evil Prince, which was only beneficial to the Qingcheng Sect. When he visited at the end of the year, he would also send the silver over and take the opportunity to ask Evil Prince about his martial arts.
In terms of understanding how terrifying Evil Prince was, no one in the current martial arts world had a deeper understanding than him. Six years ago, he was no match for Gao Zhan. Six years later, Evil Prince's cultivation base had improved greatly.
Even though he had cultivated the Evil Repelling Sword Art, he was still not confident of winning. The last time Invincible East fought with the Evil Prince, he knew that Invincible East was the one who fled.
Zuo Lengchan had provoked the Evil Prince time and time again, which would definitely cause the Evil Prince to retaliate. At that time, he could take the opportunity to reap some benefits. Yu Canghai was very pleased with himself."Zuo Lenchan, oh Zuo Lenchan, do you think Evil Prince is that easy to deal with? This old man isn't weaker than you now and doesn't dare to provoke you, yet you're courting death. Hehe…"
He could tell Gao Zhan's martial arts cultivation when he used the Heart-Destroying Palm. Up until now, with his ability, he still could not achieve the perfect moves that Gao Zhan did.
Six years ago, Gao Zhan's aura was still exposed and he could not control it freely. But now, he had already turned away and reached the realm of returning to nature and comprehending creation. Becoming enemies with such a person was undoubtedly courting death.
All of a sudden, the entire reception hall fell silent. Liu Zhengfeng respectfully accompanied an official in a public uniform in. The heroes were all curious.”
Although this official was dressed like a king, his eyes were dizzy and his face was filled with wine and sex. He did not have martial arts.
Yu Canghai's eyes widened, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face."Liu Zhengfeng is a great gentleman in Hengshan City. He can't help but make friends with the officials. It wasn't surprising for him to come here on such a good day.”
The official strode towards the center of the reception hall. The bailiff behind him knelt down on his right leg and raised his hands above his head. A tray covered in yellow satin was presented, and scrolls were placed on it.
The official bowed and took the scroll, saying in a clear voice,""The imperial edict has arrived. Liu Zhengfeng, accept it!"
When the heroes heard this, they were all shocked."Liu Zhengfeng's retirement and retirement are matters of the martial world. What does it have to do with the imperial court? Why did the Emperor issue an imperial edict? Could it be that Liu Zhengfeng was plotting a large-scale rebellion and was discovered by the imperial court? That would be a great crime of beheading and exterminating nine families.”
Everyone thought so, and they couldn't help but stand up and press their swords. They thought that since this official dared to come to announce the decree, he had already surrounded the Liu residence with soldiers.
A great slaughter was already unavoidable. He had a good relationship with Liu Zhengfeng, so he could not just stand by and watch. Besides, under the overturned nest, how can there be an intact egg? Since he had participated in Liu Zhengfeng's washing his hands in the golden basin, he was naturally a member of the rebel party. How could he be an only child if he indulged in his desires and stayed out of it?
He waited for Liu Zhengfeng to scold him before cutting the official into meat paste. Who knew that Liu Zhengfeng was calm and composed. He knelt down on both knees and kowtowed three times to the official. He said in a clear voice,"Your humble subject, Liu Zhengfeng, listens to the imperial decree. Long live my emperor.”
When the heroes heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned."Aren't we rebelling? Why did you become an official of the Imperial Court?"
The official unrolled the scroll and read,"By the will of the heavens, the Emperor has decreed: According to the report of the governor of Hunan Province, Liu Zhengfeng, a common people in Hengshan County, is eager for public affairs and likes justice. His achievements are in the fields of mulberry and mulberry. He is skilled in archery and riding. He can be used in important positions. He really accepts the post of general. From now on, you will serve the court and live up to my expectations. I will respect you.”
Liu Zhengfeng kowtowed." I, Liu Zhengfeng, thank you for your kindness. Long live the Emperor."”He stood up and bowed to the official.""Thank you for your guidance, Lord Zhang."
The official stroked his beard and smiled.""Congratulations, congratulations, General Liu. From now on, you and I will be subjects of the same palace, so there's no need to be polite.”
Liu Zhengfeng said," I was originally a commoner. I was granted an official position by the Imperial Court a few days ago. It was the Emperor's grace that allowed me to bring honor to my ancestors. However, it was also the grace of the current Prime Minister, the Governor, and Lord Zhang that exceeded the standards to nurture me.”
"No, no," the official said with a smile.”
Liu Zhengfeng turned to Fang Qianju and said,"Brother Fang, where's the gift from Lord Zhang?"”
"I've already prepared it here," Fang Qianju replied.”As he spoke, he turned around and took out a round plate. On the plate was a brocade jacket package.
Liu Zhengfeng took it with both hands and smiled." This is just a small gift. Please accept it, Lord Zhang."”
"We're brothers, yet Lord Liu is so courteous," said Lord Zhang with a smile.”With a look, the servant beside him took it. When the bailiff took the tray, his arms couldn't help but sink down. It was obvious that the contents of the tray were not light. It wasn't silver but gold.
When Lord Zhang saw this, he beamed with joy and said,"This little brother is busy with work and cannot stay long. Come, pour three cups of wine to congratulate General Liu on his appointment today. Soon after, he was promoted to a knighthood, and the emperor's grace was endless.”
Someone had already poured wine for him. Lord Zhang drank three cups in a row, cupped his hands, and turned to leave. Liu Zhengfeng sent them off with a smile on his face until they reached the main door. At this moment, the sound of a gong was heard. It was the Liu residence sending off another gift.
This scene was beyond the expectations of the heroes. Everyone looked at each other in dismay, unable to make a sound. Everyone was both embarrassed and surprised. They were not people from the underworld, nor were they people who rebelled against their superiors. However, they were all famous in the martial arts world. They all thought highly of themselves and had never looked down on the government.
Gao Zhan, who was hiding at the side, felt quite disdainful in his heart."To serve the people and the country is the way to live. If Liu Zhengfeng really did this, it would be a good thing. Compared to these so-called Jianghu celebrities, you guys still look down on them. Hehe, it's really chivalrous to violate the ban with martial arts, and Confucian to mess with the law with literature. How are you guys any better? You're still from the underworld. He just gave himself the word 'white'.”
Looking at Liu Zhengfeng's face full of joy, he invited everyone to take a seat and said in a clear voice,"Seniors, heroes, good friends, and young friends. Everyone has come from afar, Zhengfeng is really very grateful. Today, I have washed my hands of the underworld and will no longer ask about the affairs of Jianghu. I believe you all know the reason.
Now, my brother has received the favor of the imperial court and has become a small official. As the saying goes: eat the king's salary, loyal to the king's affairs. In the Jianghu, loyalty was the most important thing. For the country's official business, one had to abide by the law to repay the king's kindness. If the two clashed, it would inevitably make things difficult for Zhengfeng.
"Therefore, from now on, Zhengfeng will withdraw from the martial arts world. If my disciples are willing, they can join other sects and sects. I invited all of you here to be my witnesses. In the future, all friends who come to Hengshan City will still be my friends. "However, I won't ask about the various grievances in the martial arts world.”
However, after Qu Yang's reminder, although Liu Zhengfeng was unwilling to enter the Evil Monarch Manor, he had no choice but to leave. He knew what everyone was thinking.
He then turned around and said in a clear voice,"Disciple Liu Zhengfeng was accepted by Master and taught martial arts. I am very ashamed that I was unable to bring honor to the sect of Mount Heng. Fortunately, Senior Brother Mo is in charge of this sect.
From now on, I will wash my hands in the golden basin and concentrate on my career. I will never use the martial arts taught by my master in order to be promoted. Zhengfeng wouldn't care about the disputes in the martial world or the disputes between sects. If I break this oath, I will use this sword."
As he spoke, he flipped his right hand and pulled out a long sword from under his robe. With a twist of his hands, the sword's edge was broken in two. He broke the long sword and dropped the two pieces of the sword. With two soft sizzling sounds, the broken sword stabbed into the green stone brick.
When the heroes saw it, they were all surprised. The sword that Liu Zhengfeng carried was a sharp weapon that could cut through gold and jade. If it was an ordinary steel sword, it would not be strange for someone like Liu Zhengfeng.
However, to be able to break a sword so effortlessly, he was indeed a first-class expert in the martial arts world.
However, Liu Zhengfeng was all smiles. He rolled up his sleeves and stretched out his hands to put them into the golden basin. Suddenly, he heard someone outside the door shout sternly,"Wait!"
Liu Zhengfeng was slightly surprised. He raised his head and saw four men in yellow walking in. The four of them entered and stood on both sides. Then, a tall man in a yellow shirt walked in from the four of them.
He held a five-colored banner in his hand. The banner was decorated with pearls and gems. When it moved, it emitted a brilliant light. When many people saw this five-colored banner, their hearts trembled.
