Chapter 31
Chapter 31 The Flag of the Five Sacred Mountains

Only eunuchs or imperial envoys are qualified to announce the imperial edict, and a small official who seems to be dubious can actually announce the imperial edict.

"Heroes and heroes, let me introduce this person to you." Yue Buqun chuckled and said, "This is Tang Han, the number one scholar of the 'Lianzhong Sanyuan' dynasty, who is currently the general judge of Fuzhou Prefecture, Fujian Province, and is a sixth-rank official. Officer!"

When Yue Buqun said this, everyone was in an uproar.

In this era, culture is noble and martial arts are cheap, and everything is low-grade, but the only one who is good at reading is high. Although they are all people in the world, and the court can't control him, they still have fear in the court and officials. What's more, among the people, the champion has always been regarded It is regarded as the Wenqu star descending from the sky.

"Disciple Tang Han, pay homage to Master!" Tang Han bowed to Yue Buqun, and then bowed to Ning Zhongze: "Master!"

Seeing this scene, all the heroes present couldn't help showing something strange in their eyes.

There is a strange scene in the rivers and lakes and the court. For the Hongwu Emperor who sent an army to sweep the rivers and lakes, most of the sects were massacred, and an unknown number of them perished because of this. People in the rivers and lakes hated and feared the court.

Yue Buqun said: "This disciple of mine joined Huashan when he was ten years old. He is the third disciple of our Huashan sect. He went down to take the exam at the age of 15. He has not returned to Huashan for five years. This time he heard that Senior Brother Liu washed his hands in a golden basin, so he came here specially from Fuzhou. Hengyang."

But everyone has different thoughts, they all think that in the future Huashan faction will be protected by such an official official, and they will be safe for decades.

At this moment, Liu Zhengfeng mentioned Mr. Zhang, and asked: "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Liu asked himself that he has never offended you, and has no grievances or enmities with you. Why did you harm me like this!"

Falsifying the imperial decree is a serious crime and a capital offense. Once Liu Zhengfeng accepted the imperial decree, if he was investigated, then Liu Zhengfeng would be dead.

"Mr. Liu, I was also forced to do nothing!" Mr. Zhang's legs were weak, and he said quickly, but at this time, Mr. Zhang was bleeding black from his mouth, and he died, and the boys who came with him also fell to the ground one after another. .

"What a vicious method!" Liu Zhengfeng gasped, and quickly asked his disciples to take the bodies of the three of them down and bury them.

Liu Zhengfeng adjusted his mentality, walked up to the group of heroes, his face was full of joy, and he bowed to invite 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 artistic career, the beggar gang is the largest gang in the Jianghu. The leader of the beggar gang, Xie Feng, has high martial arts skills and reputation, and everyone respects him three points.

Tang Han was with Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze. Because of his different status, he also had a seat next to Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze.

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.There were only three bangs, bangs, and bangs of guns being fired outside the door, followed by eight bangs of big firecrackers.All the children of the younger generation who sat in the back hall and the flower hall flocked to the hall to watch the excitement.

Liu Zhengfeng walked into the hall with a smile on his face, cupping his fists and bowing to each other.All the heroes stood up and returned the salute.Liu Zhengfeng said in a loud voice: "The heroes of the predecessors, there are many. Everyone came from afar. Liu Zhengfeng is really grateful. Today, Liu washes his hands in a golden basin. From now on, he will only ask about the affairs of the world. Liu invites you to come Here, I ask everyone to be a witness. 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 about all kinds of grievances and grievances in the martial arts."

As he spoke, he bowed again.It's just that all the heroes have their own concerns, and for a while, there was no sound in the hall.Originally under this situation, everyone should congratulate Liu Zhengfeng one after another, complimenting him such as "good luck and longevity", "retire bravely from the rapids", "great wisdom and courage" and so on, but there were more than a thousand people gathered together, and no one said a word .

Liu Zhengfeng turned around and said in a clear voice: "Disciple Liu Zhengfeng was recruited by his mentor and taught him martial arts. He is very ashamed for not being able to Zhang Dahengshan sect. Fortunately, our sect is presided over by Brother Mo. Liu Zhengfeng is mediocre and mediocre. More, less, there are quite a few people in Liu. From now on, Liu washes his hands and runs the family business, but he is determined not to pass on martial arts from his masters. He will die of grievances and sect disputes in Jianghu, and Liu Zhengfeng will never ask. Contrary to the words, there is such a sword."

Flipping his right hand, he pulled out the long sword from the bottom of the robe, pulled both hands, and with a clap sound, the edge of the sword was broken into two pieces. He broke the long sword, and let the two broken swords fall down. The sword was inserted into the green brick.

When the heroes saw it, they were all horrified. From the sound of the two cut-off swords being inserted into the green bricks, it was clear that this sword was a sharp weapon for cutting gold and jade, and breaking an ordinary steel sword with the strength of their hands, a person like Liu Zhengfeng, naturally It is not surprising, but it is so easy to break a sword with such ease, and the pure kung fu of the fingers is really the attainment of a first-class master in the martial arts.

Mr. Wen sighed, and said: "What a pity, what a pity!" I don't know whether it was he who regretted this precious sword, or whether it was a pity that such a master as Liu Zhengfeng quit the rivers and lakes.

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 outside the gate shouted sharply: "Hold on!"

Liu Zhengfeng was slightly startled, and raised his head, only to see four men in yellow shirts walking into the gate.As soon as these four people entered the door, they stood on both sides, and another very tall man in yellow shirt walked straight in from between the four of them.The man held high a five-color pennant, which was covered with pearls and gems, and when it moved, it emitted a brilliant light.Many people recognized this flag, and their hearts trembled: "The flag of the leader of the Five Sacred Sword Sect has arrived!"

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

Liu Zhengfeng bowed and said, "But I don't know what the lord's order is for?"

The man said: "I am following orders, but I really don't know the will of the leader. Please forgive me, Master Liu."

Liu Zhengfeng smiled and said, "You're welcome. My nephew is Qianzhang Songshi's nephew, right?"

Although there was a smile on his face, his voice trembled slightly. It was obvious that this incident happened very suddenly, and he was greatly shocked given that he had so many battles.

That man was Qianzhang Song Shi Dengda, a disciple of the Songshan School. Hearing that Liu Zhengfeng knew his name and nickname, he couldn't help feeling proud, bowed slightly, and said, "Disciple Shi Dengda pays his respects to Uncle Liu."

He took a few steps forward, then bowed to Taoist Tianmen, Yue Buqun, Mrs. Dingyi and others, and said: "Students from the Songshan School, I pay my respects to all the masters and uncles." The other four men in yellow bowed at the same time salute.

Master Dingyi liked it very much, bowed to return the salute, and said: "It would be the best thing if your master came out to stop this matter. Let me say, we martial arts people value chivalry, and we are free and easy in the Jianghu. What are you doing?" Wash your hands in the golden basin, but I see that Brother Liu has made all the arrangements, and I will never listen to the old nun's advice, so I won't waste any more words."

Liu Zhengfeng looked solemn, and said: "Back then, we formed an alliance with the Five Sacred Sword Sect, 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 flag is my five-color command flag. It is a good idea to see Lingqi as if seeing the leader of the faction. However, it is Liu's private matter to wash his hands in the golden basin today. It has not violated the moral rules of the martial arts, and it has nothing to do with the Five Sacred Sword Sect, so it is not acceptable. The leader of the alliance is bound by the flag order. Please tell Nephew Shi Xian to tell the respected teacher that Liu does not follow the flag order, please forgive the crime of Senior Brother Zuo." He said and walked towards the golden basin.

Shi Dengda swayed, rushed to stop in front of the golden basin, raised the silk banner with his right hand, and said, "Uncle Liu, my master reminds me to ask my uncle to wait for the golden basin to wash his hands. My master said that the Wuyue sword sect is united with each other." , everyone is like brothers. My master passed on this flag order, not only to protect the friendship of the Wuyue Sword Sect, but also to maintain the righteousness in the martial arts, and at the same time, it is also for the good of Liu Shishu."

Liu Zhengfeng said: "I don't understand. The invitation card for Liu's golden basin handwashing wedding feast has already been respectfully sent to Songshan, and there is a long letter to report to Senior Brother Zuo. If Senior Brother Zuo really has such good intentions, why didn't he do so beforehand?" Add dissuasion? Didn't issue a flag order to stop it until now, isn't that clearly asking Liu to go back on his word before the heroes of the world, and make the heroes in the world laugh at me?"

Shi Dengda said: "My master instructed my disciples to say that Master Uncle Liu is a good man of the Hengshan School, with a strong righteousness, and his comrades in the martial arts have always respected Master Uncle Liu, and my master also admires him very much in his heart. Be rude, or you will be punished severely. Uncle Liu's name is well known in the rivers and lakes, but there is no need to worry about this."

Liu Zhengfeng smiled slightly, and said: "This is the honor of the leader of the Left Alliance. How can Liu have such a reputation?"

Master Dingyi saw that the two were at a stalemate, so he couldn't help but interjected again: "Liu Xiandi, what's the harm in putting this matter aside. Everyone here today is a good friend, who will come to make fun of you?" You? Even if there are one or two people who don't know what is good or bad, and wantonly criticize him, even if Liu Xiandi doesn't care about him, the poor nun will let him go first." He swept his eyes across everyone's faces, with a great challenge, and wanted to Let's see who is so bold to offend her fellow members of the Five Sacred Sword Sect.

Liu Zhengfeng nodded and said: "Since Mrs. Dingyi also said so, the matter of washing hands in the lower golden basin will be postponed until noon tomorrow. Please don't leave any of my good friends, stay in Hengshan for one more day, and stay here to meet the people of Songshan sect A worthy nephew to ask for advice in detail."

When Tang Han saw this scene, he squinted his eyes slightly, knowing that the Songshan faction had made a move. The Songshan faction was really ruthless. The Songshan faction's plot succeeded, and the Hengshan faction's strength and prestige plummeted. Naturally, it was difficult to stop Zuo Lengchan's plan to combine the five mountains.
