Chapter 20-General? Liu Zhengfeng received the edict.
Seeing the shocked looks of Daoist Tian Men and Ding Yi, the others could not help but reveal a surprised expression.
"Do the two of you know who killed Tian Boguang?" Liu Zhengfeng asked.”
"I don't know!"
"I don't know him!"
The young master with three beautiful women, the person that appeared in the minds of the two was naturally Zhu Zixuan.
If it was really him, then killing Tian Boguang was not surprising at all.
However, the two of them did not dare to reveal their guesses.
Firstly, he had not seen it with his own eyes.
Secondly, the two of them were wary.
Who knew why Freedom King had appeared in Hengyang City?
In any case, it was not to the extent of sightseeing.
What if they revealed their identities and Freedom King took his anger out on them?
The destruction of the Qingcheng Monastery was still fresh in his mind.
At this moment, the two of them had the same thoughts.
As long as Freedom King did not come for him, who cared who was the unlucky one?
Daoist Tian Men composed himself and said,""I'm just surprised that a young master could kill Tian Boguang! Under the shock, he lost his composure and felt ashamed.”
Ding Yi coughed twice and said,"That's right. This matter is really surprising."”
……
At this moment, the sound of gongs and drums suddenly came from outside the door.
A disciple came to report,"Master, there are people from the government coming to our Liu residence!"”
Ding Yi and Taoist Tian Men looked at each other, their faces turning pale.
Someone from the government?
Could it be that Freedom King came to Hengyang for Liu Zhengfeng?
What did Liu Zhengfeng's retirement have to do with the Ming court?
Could it be that Liu Zhengfeng was secretly plotting something and was found out by Freedom King?
Liu Zhengfeng hurriedly ran out of the door, and everyone followed behind him.
"What does the government have to do with the affairs of Jianghu?" someone whispered.”
"I wonder what crime Senior Brother Liu committed?”
"In the martial world, who doesn't have a few lives on their hands? If we really follow the laws of Ming Dynasty, which one of our house full of heroes is clean?”
"If this official is here to find trouble with Senior Brother Liu, what do you all plan to do?”
"Hmph, how can we, the children of the martial world, be controlled by the government?”
"That's right. As people of the martial world, righteousness comes first. Naturally, we can't sit idly by and watch Senior Brother Liu get caught!”
Ding Yi and Elysium, however, were uncharacteristically tight-lipped, not saying a word.
A moment later, Liu Zhengfeng respectfully walked in with an official dressed in official robes.
The official stood in the middle of the hall, and a bailiff behind him knelt on his right knee. He raised his hands above his head and presented a yellow scroll.
The official took the scroll and said in a clear voice,""Liu Zhengfeng, listen up!"
Amongst the heroes, those who couldn't hold back had already reached out to grab the weapons on their bodies.
Liu Zhengfeng bent his knees and knelt down. He kowtowed three times to the official and said in a clear voice,"Your humble subject, Liu Zhengfeng, listens to the imperial edict. Long live my emperor!”
The expressions of the heroes in the hall could not help but stiffen as they looked at Liu Zhengfeng with surprise.
The official unrolled the scroll and read,"The Emperor has decreed: According to the report of the governor of Hu N Province, Liu Zhengfeng, a common people of Hengshan County, is eager for public affairs and likes righteousness. His achievements are in the fields of mulberry and mulberry. He is proficient in archery and riding. He can be used for a long time. He is really appointed as a general. He will serve the court in the future and live up to my expectations. I admire him.”
Liu Zhengfeng kowtowed again." 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 twirled his beard and smiled." Congratulations, General Liu. From now on, you and I will be officials of the same palace. Why do you need to be so polite?"”
Liu Zhengfeng took a tray made of silk with both hands and said with a smile,"This is a small gift. Lord Zhang, please accept it.”
"We're brothers," said Lord Zhang with a smile,"Lord Liu, there's no need to be so polite."”
After saying that, he gave a look and the servant beside him took it.
Lord Zhang beamed with joy and said," This little brother has official business to attend to. It's not convenient for me to stay for long. Come, come, come. Let me toast General Liu three times!"”
"Congratulations to General Liu for his promotion. In the future, it will definitely be easy for him to be promoted!”
After drinking three cups in a row, Lord Zhang cupped his hands and turned to leave.
Liu Zhengfeng was all smiles as he walked her out of the door.
This scene was far beyond the expectations of the crowd. Everyone looked at each other in embarrassment and surprise.
Although these guests who came to the Liu residence were not rebellious people, nor were they people who rebelled against their superiors.
However, he believed that he was quite famous in the martial arts world and had never placed the government in his eyes.
At this moment, seeing Liu Zhengfeng's fawning appearance and the fact that he was conferred the title of a small military official by the Emperor, he made a grateful expression.
They all felt disdain in their hearts.
"From the looks of it, he spent money to buy this official hat. I wonder how much money he spent!”
"Liu Zhengfeng has always been an upright person. Why has he become so greedy at his old age? He's actually willing to be a hawk dog of the imperial court!”
Someone couldn't help but persuade him,"Senior Brother Liu, we martial arts students should prioritize chivalry!"”
"Isn't it great to be free and unfettered in the martial world?”
"Why do you have to be the imperial court's lackey and be controlled by others?”
"Abbess Dingyi, Taoist Master Tianmen, you're both from the Five Mountain Sword Sect. You should at least persuade Senior Brother Liu!”
If it was the previous Dingyi, she would be the first to object without anyone saying anything.
Even an hour ago, she would have advised him.
But now, after learning from Yi Lin that Freedom King was likely in Hengyang, Ding Yi did not dare to say anything more.
In fact, she even felt a little lucky.
Since Liu Zhengfeng had become a general, it was impossible for him to be the target of Freedom King.
At least the Liu Residence was a safe place.
Daoist Tian Men could not help but think a little more.
Freedom King couldn't have come to Hengyang for sightseeing.
Recently, the only major event in Hengyang City was Liu Zhengfeng's retirement.
Liu Zhengfeng was already a general of the Great Ming Dynasty.
Wouldn't his identity be similar to Lin Zhennan in Fuzhou?
Could it be that this Freedom King wanted to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys?？
This time, who would be Yu Canghai?
Daoist Tian Men suddenly thought of a possibility and could not help but feel shocked!
Could it be that Freedom King wanted to use Liu Zhengfeng's matter to draw out all the people at the banquet who showed disrespect to the imperial court?
Then, he would settle the accounts one by one.
At this moment, Yue Buqun's voice suddenly came from outside: "Senior Brother Liu, I just arrived at the door when I heard that you were appointed by the Imperial Court. This matter is a little muddle-headed."
Before Liu Zhengfeng could speak, Daoist Tianmen interrupted him and said,""Senior Brother Yue, you are wrong. Everyone has their own aspirations, how can we force them?”
"Senior Brother Tianmen is right. Senior Brother Liu will serve the country and the people in the future. Isn't he also a chivalrous man?" Ding Yi said.”
Hearing these two people speak, everyone in the hall could not help but have a look of surprise.
Yue Buqun's heart thumped.
According to his understanding of Ding Yi Heavenly Gate, these two people should be the first to express their dissatisfaction when encountering such a thing.
After all, in the martial world, the Five Mountain Sword Sect had always been like a family.
Liu Zhengfeng's matter would not only damage the reputation of the Mount Heng Sect, but also implicate the Five Mountain Sword Sect.
Before Yue Buqun entered the door, he heard someone mocking him from outside.
They said that the Five Mountain Sword Sect claimed to be a chivalrous sect, but when it came to matters of promotion and wealth, they kowtowed to the officials and lost all face for the orthodox sects of the martial arts world.
Hence, after entering the sect, he said one more sentence.
This was to express his disapproval of Liu Zhengfeng's actions.
But after seeing Ding Yi and Elysium's reaction, Yue Buqun sensed that something was wrong.
Unless they were afraid, Ding Yi Heaven Sect would never say such words.
Who could make these two people so afraid?
A figure suddenly flashed across Yue Buqun's mind.
Freedom King?
Cold sweat dripped down Yue Buqun's forehead!
