Chapter 181: Handwashing Ceremony
?
At noon on the second day, the residence of Liu Zhengfeng was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and many guests came to participate in Liu Zhengfeng's ceremony of washing his hands in the Golden Basin.
Two disciples, Xiang Danian and Mi Weiyi, stood at the gate of Liu's residence, and brought some ordinary disciples and servants to receive and lead heroes from all walks of life; Say hello to show your closeness and make everyone feel valued.
"Master Yue, it's a great honor for you to come to my handwashing ceremony." Yue Buqun's arrival made Liu Zhengfeng very "surprised", and he kept saying compliments. He looked a little excited, and those who didn't know it thought he was too happy, but Huang Chao knew that his acting skills needed to be improved.
Yue Buqun exchanged warm greetings with him, and asked his disciples to greet him one by one. His demeanor and demeanor were all in line with the atmosphere, showing the superb skills of a generation of masters. Huang Chao kept complaining behind his back, Master didn't want to see Liu Zhengfeng.
Yue Buqun was actually very dissatisfied when he learned that Liu Zhengfeng had made friends with Qu Yang. When Huashan obtained the "Sunflower Treasure", it attracted a large-scale siege from the demon sect. Huashan's elders were almost killed and injured at that station, and the school's swordsmanship was also lost.
Yue Buqun later commented on Liu Zhengfeng: "I don't know right from wrong, and I don't do my job properly!" Yue Buqun actually disliked Liu Zhengfeng's friendship with Qu Yang. His behavior was like making friends with the enemy's high-level commanders during a war, and at the same time, he had to withdraw from the battle and not participate in the grievances between the two sides. , which is no different from a traitor.
Huang Chao privately felt that Liu Zhengfeng, as the second person in Hengshan, neither worked hard at practicing martial arts nor running a sect, but was obsessed with music, and became a musical confidant with the high-level hostile forces. Although Liu Zhengfeng himself showed Gao Jie, it would be really bad luck for anyone to have a teammate like him.
Mr. Mo Da of the Songshan School also plays the erhu all day long, pretending to be an old busker. If it weren't for the solid skill of "Falling Nine Geese with One Sword", Huang Chao would also think that he is too funny.
In this world, there are people like Chongxu Fangzheng and Dongfang Bubai Ren Woxing. You Hengshan faction, why do you have the nerve to pretend to be a master of the world every day and play in the world?
For the future of the Huashan faction, Huang Chao tried hard to persuade Yue Buqun to agree to save Liu Zhengfeng's life, so as to make friends with the Hengshan faction and retain a force that had a deep grudge against Songshan.
Although Yue Buqun was upset at this time, waiting for the Songshan faction to come and slap him in the face, he still showed a warm smile and greeted all the heroes in the hall one by one.
Huang Chao followed Yue Buqun to meet the heroes one by one. The Huashan School, as a famous sect, sat in a prominent position in the house and didn't need to move around. Others gathered to greet Yue Buqun. These people have all kinds of teachings and nine streams, Master Dingyi and Taoist Master Tianmen respect their identities and stay in the side hall not to get acquainted with them.
Yue Buqun likes to make friends,
As long as people come to talk to him, he will chat and laugh with them without putting on airs of being superior to others. The reputation of Yue Buqun's gentleman's sword comes from this kind of self-cultivation in details. If the visitor knew him well, he would let Huang Chao come forward to greet him, which could be regarded as promoting his disciple.
In the blink of an eye, at noon, there were already about 200 seats in the hall of the Liu Mansion. Liu Zhengfeng had already returned to the house and sat down with everyone. Taishan Tianmen Daoist is the oldest, Yue Buqun is the most prestigious, and added to the record of defeating the Qingcheng faction, Tianmen Daoist dare not sit in the first place, and Yue Buqun has repeatedly retreated.
Yue Buqun knew very well that he had just achieved a huge victory, so he must not show arrogance. In the end, no one sat in the first seat, so it was vacated.
Liu Zhengfeng had already bribed the local officials and bought the position of a general. He originally wanted to use this to draw a clear line with Jianghu, but Huashan and Songshan both knew about him, so it was impossible to talk about clearing the line.
Liu Zhengfeng knew that Songshan was coming to question him, so he didn't dare to offend all his comrades in the rivers and lakes. If someone appointed him an official at this time, the people who came to congratulate him probably wouldn't want to meddle in his business.
Righteous way and Demon Sect, rivers and lakes and the government, these are opposing forces. Liu Zhengfeng made friends with the Demon Sect, joined the government, and made death to the extreme. It is a pity that his family, young and old, met such an incomprehensible Patriarch.
Looking at the crowd sitting around, Liu Zhengfeng felt a little scared. If he followed his own arrangement, he might end up badly today.
The auspicious time had come, three blasts of blunderbuss and eight blasts of big firecrackers were set off outside Liu's mansion, Mi Weiyi and Xiang Danian brought a shelf and a golden basin to the main hall, Liu Zhengfeng stood in front, bowed to the heroes, and said a few words of gratitude In his words, he didn't mention that he was going to be an official, but only said that he would retire bravely from now on, teach his disciples, and study music.
Hengshan disciples are full of artistic talents, and everyone was deeply convinced by this reason. For a while, congratulations continued in the hall, congratulating Liu Zhengfeng on "retiring bravely", "good fortune and longevity" and so on.
Liu Zhengfeng was about to wash his hands when a voice called "Stay here" came from outside, and the disciples of the Songshan School had arrived. The person who spoke was Shi Tengda, a disciple of the Songshan School. He originally thought that Liu Zhengfeng would stop asking questions if he shouted like that. He walked in slowly and showed the flag of the Order of the Five Sacred Mountains, and Liu Zhengfeng would be held back by him.
Unexpectedly, Liu Zhengfeng didn't seem to notice, walked two steps quickly to the basin, and was about to put his hand into the basin.
"Don't wash your hands!" Stengda finally got an errand to show his face in front of the heroes, and he was about to fail, so he could only shout and rush in the door. In his hand, he held the flag of the Order of the Five Sacred Mountains, which was covered with jewels and pearls. When he moved, the precious light shone.
Everyone in the hall only saw five tall men in yellow clothes jumping in from the door, and they went straight to Liu Zhengfeng in the hall. They didn't know that this was a disciple of Songshan, but they thought it was Liu Zhengfeng's enemies seeking revenge at a critical moment, and they had a good relationship with Liu Zhengfeng for a while. , stood up one after another and pulled out their swords, ready to see the opportunity to strike.
The sound of warehouse clanging in the hall was endless, and Shi Dengda was sweating on his head when he heard it. He thought that his uncle was behind him, and that his own people had already controlled Liu Zhengfeng's family, so he bit the bullet and continued to rush forward: "Liu Zhengfeng, left..."
Huang Chao's figure moved, and he landed in front of Shi Dengda in the blink of an eye, and the two of them almost collided. Those in the hall who had eyesight to see his movements couldn't help admiring: "What a handsome lightness skill!" Then they glanced at Yue Buqun enviously.
Huang Chao threw out both fists, his figure was stretched and vigorous, and his whole body was like a big bow drawn. The strength of the muscles, the surge of qi and blood, and the increase of internal force were fused together by him at this moment, and he used the five major movements of chopping, drilling, horizontal, cannon, and collapse in succession, showing powerful power.
The five Songshan disciples had almost no ability to resist, and they were instantly sent flying by Huang Chao and fell into the crowd.
"He Fangxiao is young, dare to come to Uncle Liu's house to play wild!"
Those who come here are all from the rivers and lakes, so they are not afraid of a big living person flying over. They resorted to the means of unloading their strength, picked up the five people who had lost their breath, and threw them on the ground. Anyway, it is to beat the dog in the water hard, and it is not for nothing.
"Where's the little bastard, interrupt Brother Liu's happy life!"
Liu Zhengfeng had already plunged his hand into the water, and a small hidden weapon pierced through the air. Liu Zhengfeng's face turned angry. If he hadn't been prepared, the basin of water would have been knocked over. With his hand in the golden basin, he moved the golden basin in a circle to avoid hidden weapons. With a "poof", the hidden weapon pierced through the shelf under the golden basin. He quickly washed it twice, and raised his hand to signal to all the guests.
"Everyone, Mr. Liu has already washed his hands in the golden basin, and will no longer interfere in Jianghu affairs. If there is still..."
Another person landed outside and shouted: "Liu Zhengfeng, the leader of the Left has ordered you not to wash your hands!" This person is in his forties, with a medium build and a thin body.
Huang Chaoxin said: "After being busy for so long, I finally succeeded in washing my hands. Of course, the Songshan faction can do it forcefully, but it seriously tramples on the rules of the world."
After Jinpen washed his hands, he was besieged by people, which would make all the gangsters feel insecure, and the crowd might besiege the Songshan faction when they were outraged. Even if they can't fight, it will be difficult for the Songshan School to be a man in the future.
Fei Bin also understood this truth, and the expression on his face kept changing for a while, and finally he looked at Huang Chao with hatred: "It's all this disciple, who ruined our big business!"
Huang Chao carried the command flag he had snatched from his hands behind his back. This pennant is exquisitely crafted, expensive, and quite valuable for collection. Besides, it didn't belong to Songshan Mountain, but a token of the leader of the Five Sacred Mountains. Huang Chao felt that he should keep it.
"Liu Zhengfeng!" Fei Bin was about to reprimand when a girl's scream suddenly came from the back hall.
"Father, help! Someone is going to kill us!"
Master Dingyi and the others recognized Fei Bin, and were still wondering why Zuo Lengchan wanted to forbid Liu Zhengfeng to wash his hands. Hearing these words, their faces changed abruptly.
The hall was fried, and the ceremony of washing hands in the golden basin, the most feared thing is that someone will come to revenge and cause trouble, so inviting more friends has become a big tradition. After this catastrophe, no one is allowed to make trouble. Now that Liu Zhengfeng washed his hands, someone wanted to kill his whole family, and everyone who had friendship with Liu Zhengfeng started arguing and preparing to do it.
Huang Chao smiled inwardly.
Liu Zhengfeng yelled: "Stop!" He threw off the towel and rushed into the back hall. For a while, many people followed him, and many people even drew their weapons and aimed at Fei Bin.
