"Congratulations~!"

"Congratulations to Master Liu for his successful meritorious deeds!"

"There will be no Liu Daxia in the world from now on. I don't know how much fun will be lost. I really can't bear it... I still want to travel around the world with Liu Daxia. It's a pity. But no matter what, I still want to congratulate Brother Liu."

"It's so gratifying..."

When everyone saw Liu Zhengfeng finishing his thoughts and bringing the golden basin in front of him and placing it on the Eight Immortals table, they kept congratulating him.

No matter what you think in your heart.

We still have to talk about the scene.

Liu Zhengfeng's face was filled with joy and his face was radiant.

He straightened his sleeves and straightened his clothes, then walked up to the golden basin with his head held high.

very happy.

Very happy.

His heart...heaved a sigh of relief.

It's like a big stone being removed from the body.

After today, I can finally withdraw from this complicated world and live some ordinary days... growing vegetables and raising fields, playing the piano and flute in my free time, drinking and having fun... happiness in the world.

Suddenly.

An official walked up to the door with his head held high.

"Huh? What is this official doing here? Could he be a master too?" The heroes were puzzled.

Jianghu people have always looked down upon the government and generally disdain to interact with people in the government.

This is the attitude of the heroes towards the government in the original work of Xiao Ao.

Yue Buqun stroked his beard and said, "Liu Zhengfeng and Liu Daxia are great gentlemen of Hengshan. He usually makes friends with the government. Today's Golden Basin Washing Ceremony is his happy day. It's not surprising that local officials come to deal with it."

"The imperial edict has arrived~!"

"Liu Zhengfeng accepts the order!"

When the heroes heard this official's voice, they couldn't help but be shocked.

"Liu Zhengfeng sealed his sword and retired to seclusion. That was a matter in the world. What does it have to do with the imperial court? Could it be that the imperial court discovered that Liu Zhengfeng had committed another treasonous act and was discovered by the emperor and wanted to behead his family and exterminate his clan?" Some of Liu Zhengfeng's friends speculated.

Jianghu is all about Jianghu.

Generally speaking, the imperial court does not get involved in the feuds between Jianghu and Jianghu.

What good intentions can the emperor have when he issues an edict at this time? Maybe the Liu Mansion is surrounded by elite soldiers. If that is the case... Liu Zhengfeng and I have a very close relationship... I must help him to get out of the Liu Mansion.

Unable to calm down, he grabbed his weapons.

Furthermore, there are no eggs left behind when the nest is overturned.

If I go to the Liu Mansion for a banquet today, I will be treated as an accomplice. It is better to wait for Liu Zhengfeng to yell and chop the official into a pile of rotten flesh.

Many people clenched their weapons, and as soon as Liu Zhengfeng gave the order, they rose up and killed the official.

Unexpectedly, Liu Zhengfeng remained calm, turned around and knelt down to receive the order:

"The humble minister Liu Zhengfeng accepts the order, long live my emperor."

The heroes were stunned when they heard this.

what's the situation?

When did Liu Zhengfeng get involved with the government?

The official said: "By God, the emperor has issued an edict. According to the report from the governor of Hengshan County, 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, so he is worthy of great use. He will be given the post of general in the future.

Serve the imperial court and live up to my expectations, I appreciate this!"

"Weak minister Liu Zhengfeng thanks you, my emperor, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live." Liu Zhengfeng received the imperial edict.

He bent down to the official and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for the promotion."

The official twisted his beard and smiled and said: "Congratulations, congratulations, General Liu. From now on, you and I will be ministers in the same palace, so why should we be so polite?"

"The young general was originally a careless man. Today, he was awarded an official by the imperial court. It is indeed a blessing from the emperor that the young general has made his ancestors proud, but he is also a benefactor and has been cultivated by the governors Zhang and Zhou." Liu Zhengfeng flattered him at the right time.

"Where, where..." Although the official waved his hand, he was also happy in his heart, secretly thinking that Liu Zhengfeng had a good eye and could speak.

Liu Zhengfeng turned around and said to his brother-in-law Fang Qianju:

"Brother Fang Xian, where is the gift I gave you to Mr. Zhang?"

Fang Qianju said: "It's already been prepared."

He turned around and took out a disk. In the disk was a brocade robe package.

Liu Zhengfeng took Fang Qianju's disk and presented it to Master Zhang, saying: "This is a small courtesy, but it is not respectful. Please accept it with a smile, Master Zhang."

Master Zhang said: "My brother, why should I be so polite?"

After saying that, he winked and the attendants on the left and right took the disk.

When the attendant took the disc, his hand sank, obviously it was not light.

Not silver, but gold.

Mr. Zhang smiled happily and said: "General Liu, I have official duties, so it is not appropriate to stay here any longer."

"Come, come, come, pour me three glasses of wine, and congratulate General Liu on today's appointment. He will be promoted to a higher rank and title soon. The emperor's grace is endless."

Three glasses of wine had already been poured and waiting. It seemed that Liu Zhengfeng was already prepared at this time.

The emperor's imperial edict, Master Zhang's visit, gifts... and pouring wine, all in one go.

Mr. Zhang drank three glasses in a row, cupped his hands, and turned around to go out.

With a smile on his face, Liu Zhengfeng walked directly to the gate. He heard the sound of gongs and shouts, and the Liu family sent him off with gifts.

I have the utmost respect for Mr. Zhang.

Liu Zhengfeng is very satisfied...

However, Lin Pingzhi felt that the heroes around him were...very dissatisfied.

It can be seen that the scene was a bit awkward at one point, with everyone looking at each other in shock, but remaining silent.

Originally, the Jianghu people were not on good terms with the imperial court, but you, Liu Zhengfeng, nodded and bowed to Governor Zhang like a dog... It is really disgusting.

Even people in the Jianghu community who had some good impressions of Liu Zhengfeng now have a bit of disdain for him.

no way.

People in the world think highly of themselves.

"Liu Zhengfeng, Liu Zhengfeng, you said... you can retire as soon as you retire, why do you have to let the government intervene? At first, everyone thought you were a figure... Now, I don't know how many people have disdain and contempt for your behavior of following the crowd.

." Lin Pingzhi shook his head secretly.

He felt that Liu Zhengfeng's approach was inappropriate.

I'm going to retire, and I'm going to donate an official position. If I want to retire, just do it. I want to cling to the imperial court...

In fact, it's not unreasonable. You can do it in private, but if you do it in public... it will really make you lose popularity.

No wonder you were targeted by the Songshan faction in the end and no one jumped out to help you.

Lin Pingzhi felt that Liu Zhengfeng had made a bad move.

really…

Among the more than a thousand people, I don't know how many people showed contempt for Liu Zhengfeng. The older ones even directly said in a strange way: "The emperor gave him such a small face as a 'general', so he burst into tears of gratitude and did such a disgusting thing."

His demeanor and blatant bribery are shameful.”

"Disgraced the face of Jianghu people."

"Look at this situation, I don't know how much gold and silver he bought for his official title."

"Liu Zhengfeng is a decent man. Who would have thought that Lin Lao... would be so greedy for profit that he would do anything to buy an official position?"

The golden basin is ready.

Invite friends who have passed through the rivers and lakes to sit down, and the hand-washing ceremony can begin.

With a face full of joy, Liu Zhengfeng came to the front of the heroes and invited everyone to sit down.

Although the heroes felt contempt in their hearts, they would not fall out.

But his view of Liu Zhengfeng has changed.

There would have been many congratulatory messages, such as "Daxia Liu retreated bravely", "Great wisdom and courage", "Full life and good fortune come back"... but no one was willing to say it.

Good guy.

Lin Pingzhi, who was watching the show, was like a good guy!

You Liu Zhengfeng is so awesome if you can make all the heroes... look like they've been fed shit.

Just when Lin Pingzhi was speechless, Liu Zhengfeng struck another fatal blow:

"Seniors, dear friends, and young friends, I would like to thank you all for coming from afar."

"Brothers wash their hands in a golden basin today and will never interfere in Jianghu affairs again."

"Brother was favored by the court and became a small official. As the saying goes, eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor are matters of loyalty. In the affairs of the country, one must lawfully enforce the law and repay the favor with the public..."

He had a lot of nonsense, all of which were to say that when I become an official in the future, I won’t care about the affairs of the world, and don’t worry about the affairs of the world...

The most deadly thing is that Liu Zhengfeng actually said that we will no longer be friends in the future. He also said that after withdrawing from the world, if disciples want to switch to other sects, please feel free to do so.

This means completely severing ties with everyone.

Some people couldn't help but sneer: You mean, if we commit trouble again in the Hengshan area in the future, Liu Zhengfeng will no longer care about his brotherhood and embarrass us?

This wave of popularity has been completely defeated.
