"After Nephew Linghu defeated Tian Boguang, he asked his young disciple Yilin to report to the Liu Mansion. When we got there, Nephew Linghu was gone and no one else was seen, so we thought Nephew Linghu had left.
Now that I think about it, it's really worrying. But fortunately, lucky people have their own destiny, and Linghu's nephew's lucky star is shining brightly, so he will definitely turn bad luck into good luck."
Dingyi clasped his palms together and said in a long voice.
Feng Zhou also nodded and said with a smile: "Chong'er was trained by my eldest brother personally, and his martial arts is outstanding. I think he will be fine."
After he said this, he said to Liu Zhengfeng: "Brother Liu, I heard about the Fuwei Escort Agency in Nanchang, so I went westward and met Senior Brother Mo in Hengshan Town. We discussed a very serious issue and wanted to
Discuss it with Senior Brother Liu..."
Liu Zhengfeng frowned, took a deep look at Feng Zhou, nodded and said: "Since Junior Brother Yue and Senior Brother Mo have a topic to discuss with me, it would be best to have a quiet room over there..."
…
An hour later, Feng Zhou, Mo Da, Liu Zhengfeng and others walked out of the clean room. They saw that Feng Zhou's face was as usual, but Brother Hengshan's face was calm, with a trace of fire in his eyes.
Everyone present was a smart person, so they naturally knew that the leaders of Huashan and Hengshan were talking about very big things. Although they avoided Tianmen and Dingyi, they had no other thoughts in their minds.
As for some big secrets, it’s better for me not to know them.
Suddenly news came from outside that Huashan Sect leader Yue Buqun, his eldest disciple Linghu Chong, his second disciple Lao Denuo, and his youngest daughter Yue Lingshan arrived at the scene.
You must know that Yue Buqun has not been to the Jade Girl Peak of Huashan Mountain very much in the past three years, but the Huashan Sect is surging in the world and showing its power. His younger brother Yue Buming even used thunderous means to sweep across Hunan and Jiangxi.
The younger brother is already like this. As the leader of the Huashan Sect, the elder brother, Junzi Jian Yue Buqun, has such superb martial arts, it is even more fascinating.
Liu Zhengfeng was overjoyed and said: "First Junior Brother Yue, and then Head Yue, our Liu Mansion is really flourishing!"
Feng Zhou smiled and said: "Brother always makes plans before taking action. Now that he has shown up, he already has a plan in mind."
Liu Zhengfeng felt even more happy after hearing this, and immediately took Feng Zhou out to greet him.
The two of them walked out of the gate together, and Feng Zhou said to Yue Buqun: "Brother, I came one step ahead of you and brought my disciples in. Don't be surprised."
He glanced at Linghu Chong and saw that he was walking vigorously and seemed to have recovered as before, but his face was sallow, his energy was a little low, and he seemed to have suffered a lot of injuries.
Yue Buqun chuckled and said: "Master Yue swept across the south of the world with his sword and swept across Hunan and Jiangxi. When all the gangster friends in the world heard your name, Master Yue, they were all frightened. How dare I stand against you?"
He then said to Liu Zhengfeng: "My dear brother, when you were in your prime, you wanted to retreat bravely from the rapids. Such great wisdom and courage are highly admired by others. It is really gratifying that you retreated this time."
Liu Zhengfeng laughed and said: "Liu Zhengfeng is truly lucky to be praised by Junzijian!"
The three of them laughed together, and then walked into the door hand in hand. Other experts also lowered their ranks to greet them.
Yue Buqun exchanged greetings with everyone. His tone was gentle, which was very different from the domineering Yue Buming just now. Tianmen, Mo Da and others saw Feng Zhou standing behind Yue Buqun, completely different from before, and their hearts couldn't help but rise.
He had a strange look on his face.
It was as if he was a friend in front of Yue Buqun, but like a subordinate in front of Yue Buming.
Guests from all walks of life arrived in the Liu Mansion one after another. This was the day when Liu Zhengfeng "washed his hands in the golden basin". At a quarter past two o'clock, Liu Zhengfeng returned to the inner hall and his disciples entertained the guests.
At nearly noon, five to six hundred visitors from far away flocked in. There was Jin Ao, the deputy gang leader of the Beggar Clan, the old boxer Xia from the Liuhemen of Zhengzhou, Tie Lao Lao, the goddess of the Three Gorges in Sichuan and Hubei, Pan Hou, the leader of the Donghai Haisha Gang, and Eryou from Qujiang.
The magic sword Bai Ke, the magic pen Lucis and others arrived one after another. For a while, there was a loud noise in the hall to greet and introduce them.
According to the status and prestige in the martial arts world, Taoist Tianmen, the head of Taishan Sect, should be the chief. However, since the Wuyue Sword Sect formed an alliance, Taoist Tianmen, Mr. Mo Da, Yue Buqun, Master Dingyi, etc., half of them are masters, so it is inconvenient for them to sit on top.
All the senior celebrities gave in to each other, and no one was willing to take the top spot.
Naturally, Feng Zhou didn't bother to pay attention to these things, and went straight back to the Huashan sect's table, sitting next to Lin Pingzhi and Linghu Chong.
Suddenly, two muskets were heard, drums and drums were blasting, and two teams of government servants were playing gongs to clear the way. When they arrived in front of Defu, Liu Zhengfeng confessed his crime and walked out quickly. After a while, he entered the hall accompanied by an official with an arrogant expression.
The people sitting in the Jianghu looked at each other, and for some reason someone from the government arrived.
I saw the official standing in the center of the hall. A government official knelt down, raised his hands high, and presented a tray. The official picked up the yellow scroll in the tray and said loudly: "The imperial edict has arrived, Liu Zhengfeng will receive it."
Everyone present looked strange, seeing the emperor's imperial edict on such an occasion, and stared blankly for a while.
Liu Zhengfeng knelt on his knees, kowtowed three times, and said: "Common man Liu Zhengfeng listens to the decree, long live my emperor!"
The official unfolded the imperial edict and recited: "The Emperor of Fengtian Chengyun issued an edict: According to the report of the governor of Hunan Province, Liu Zhengfeng, a common man in Hengshan County, is anxious for public good and righteous. His merits are in Sangzi. He is proficient in bow and horse, and he is worthy of great use. He has been awarded the post of general.
, I will serve the imperial court from now on and live up to my expectations. I appreciate this."
Liu Zhengfeng said: "Your Majesty Liu Zhengfeng, thank you for your kindness. Long live my emperor!" He raised his hands high to receive the imperial edict.
The official helped Liu Zhengfeng up and said: "Congratulations, General Liu!"
Liu Zhengfeng cupped his hands and said: "Thank you Enxiang, the governor and Mr. Zhang for your cultivation!"
Lord Zhang smiled and said: "From now on, you and I will be ministers in the same palace, and we will have to take care of each other."
Liu Zhengfeng said: "Don't dare, don't dare. I have just entered the official career, and I still need Master Zhang's guidance." He stretched out his hand and waved back, and a disciple offered a tray. Liu Zhengfeng said with a smile: "I would like to express my gratitude. I hope Master Zhang will accept it."
Mr. Zhang smiled and said: "General Liu is so polite." The Yamen servant on the side took it, his arms sank, but he almost dropped it.
Master Zhang said with satisfaction: "Come here, serve the wine!"
A servant brought the wine glass, and Mr. Zhang toasted Liu Zhengfeng three times and said: "I am busy with official duties, so I will not disturb the general. I will take my leave." He cupped his hands and turned to leave. Liu Zhengfeng accompanied him all the way out of the gate.
Yue Lingshan looked over from Linghu Chong, approached Feng Zhou, and asked: "Second uncle, why do you look so unconcerned when this official announces the decree? Isn't it good for Uncle Liu to be an official?"
It turned out that she didn't understand what the official meant when he read the imperial edict. When she was bored, she saw the sneer on her second uncle's face and asked curiously.
Feng Zhou smiled slightly: "This edict is false."
He had been the commander-in-chief of the border army and the commander of the imperial guards for several years. He had seen countless imperial edicts. Although he was extremely tired of the rules of officialdom, he was very familiar with them.
The imperial edict should be very strict, but this edict is full of loopholes. Copycats cannot be copied anymore, and the actual appointed generals don't even have a place to take office.
Furthermore, the general is a high-ranking official of the third or fourth rank. Who can buy such a big official at once?
The imperial edict itself was an excuse. By using the imperial edict to escape the attention of Jianghu people, Liu Zhengfeng could justifiably escape without a trace.
As for the official who announced the decree, most of the soldiers accompanying him were hired agents. Which official is so bold and dares to drunkenly announce the decree? This is a crime of great disrespect.
Yue Lingshan knew that her second uncle had worked as a servant in Jinyiwei. Since he said that this imperial edict was fake, it must be fake. She quickly asked: "This liar tricked you into Liu's mansion. How about I go with my senior brother to arrest him?"
He caught me so that Master Liu wouldn't be fooled."
When Linghu Chong heard that he was going to go fool around with his junior sister, he couldn't help but get energetic. He quickly looked at Feng Zhou with expectant eyes.
Feng Zhou smiled and said: "What are you making a fuss about? Didn't you notice when the double act was performed? Stay quietly, don't get into trouble, let's take a look first."
Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan looked at each other. Although they didn't understand what it meant, they nodded and said nothing.
Liu Zhengfeng's expression remained as usual, and he returned to the hall and asked all the elders to take their seats. Everyone showed humility, avoiding the main seat, and arranged on both sides.
Liu Zhengfeng said to many heroes in the world: "As you have seen just now, Liu is already an official of the imperial court. His past grievances in the world have been wiped out. From now on, he will not ask about the rights and wrongs of the world. It goes against this, just like this sword."
He stretched out his hand to pull out the sword and pulled it. With a "thud" sound, the long sword broke into two pieces. He swung it to the ground and the two pieces of the broken sword sank into the ground with a clatter. When everyone saw it, they all secretly praised the internal strength.
Outside the hall, firecrackers blared and drums blared. The disciples of the Liu family rushed out together and brought a golden basin filled with clear water to the new year. They placed it in the center of the hall. Liu Zhengfeng cupped his hands around and walked towards the golden basin.
