In the Heavens

In Hengyang City, as the date of the golden basin washing hands approached, the number of people in the rivers and lakes gradually increased.

The gathering of people in the rivers and lakes not only brings prosperity to restaurants and teahouses, but also brings endless disputes.

Fortunately, the name of the Five Sacred Sword Sect can now be hooded, and everyone at the foot of Mount Heng still restrained themselves, and did not make any big troubles.

In less than half a month, the tables, chairs and benches in Huiyanlou were replaced twice, and the guardrails and stairs were rebuilt five times. It was almost open during the day and repaired at night.

In order to maintain the law and order in Hengyang, the Hengshan School had to send disciples to enter restaurants and teahouses... Such accidents are frequent.

It's not here to persuade the fight, but mainly to deal with the aftermath. After all, the Five Sacred Sword Sect is now doing a word-of-mouth business, and if you collect the protection fee from the merchant, you will be able to keep one party safe.

So fights come back to fights, fights go back to making troubles, and those who should lose money after the incident is over, still have to lose money.

Shopkeeper Zhou is in pain and happiness. Recently, not only is the business booming, but even the compensation has been softened. But as an ordinary person, he would rather not earn this hot money.

It's a pity that no one cares what he thinks. The visitor is a guest, no matter how much he doesn't like people in the Jianghu, he can only bite the bullet and receive him, and he must receive him well.

"Mi Shaoxia, please go upstairs!"

Seeing the familiar Hengshan disciples coming to the door, Shopkeeper Zhou immediately greeted them with a smile on his face.

The business of Huiyan Tower can continue, relying on the disciples of Hengshan to be in charge. After several fights, it was the Hengshan disciple in front of him who asked for compensation for him.

Serving with good wine and meat all day long, and watching the excitement, Mi Dayi is very satisfied with this kind of fairy life.

Although he is just an inconspicuous Hengshan disciple, he is nothing in the martial arts world, but he is still a great figure in front of ordinary people.

Although he didn't like the profit-seeking businessman in front of him in his heart, Mi Dayi respectfully saluted the shopkeeper Zhou without slapping the smiling face, showing off his air of being a decent disciple of a famous family.

"Treasurer Zhou is bothering you!"

Every time I heard this sentence, shopkeeper Zhou felt as comfortable as eating honey.

I often fantasize: If all the people in the rivers and lakes understand the rules like the Mi Shaoxia in front of me, the business will be easy.

It's a pity that the present world pulled him back, only to see a man with the appearance of a Taoist jump out, angrily scolded: "Tian Boguang, you shameless prostitute, scum of the rivers and lakes, take your life!"

"Where did you come from? If you want my life, first ask my knife if you agree!"

While speaking, Tian Boguang slapped the knife in his hand on the table, and looked at the visitor with provocative eyes.

The middle-aged Taoist priest who was stimulated immediately drew his sword and attacked Tian Boguang, and then several young Taoist priests also joined the siege.

Hearing the word "Tian Boguang", Mi Dayi knew it was not good. Seeing this scene in front of him, he secretly felt bitter.

The Five Sacred Sword Sect is famous, so it is not aimed at the martial arts forces. It is not so lethal to this kind of Jianghu scattered people who are mixed with demons.

I'm a lonely person, offending someone is a big deal and running away. As long as it's not a big deal, it's impossible for the Five Sacred Sword Sect to mobilize people and hunt them down all over the world.

You can't lose face in the rivers and lakes, knowing that you can't win, Mi Dayi doesn't want to run away in such a disheveled way.

As far as he is dressed as a Hengshan disciple, if there is no blood feud, most people in the world will not kill him.

"Mount Tai Eighteen Plates!"

Recognizing the martial arts performed by these Taoist priests, Mi Dayi knew that he could not hide anymore, so he drew his sword and joined the ranks of besieging Tian Boguang.

In recent years, the slogan of the Five Sacred Sword Sect has been very loud. Seeing Hengshan disciples join in to help, the morale of the Tiansong Taoist, who was originally at a disadvantage, was greatly boosted.

This is the domain of the Five Sacred Sword Sect, as long as it drags on for a while, there will be no need to worry about whether there will be helpers.

It's a pity that Mi Dayi's appearance not only did not play a practical role, but became a chaotic element.

Because the cooperation was not close enough, he almost died at the hands of his own people several times, and Tiansong had to devote all his energy to take care of the younger generation.

"good!"

"Brother Tian is really good at kung fu!"

On the other hand, Linghu Chong didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, as if he was very shameless of the Five Sacred Sword Sect's bullying the few.

While drinking, he was still cheering for Tian Boguang.

Several people on the field gritted their teeth in anger, and Tian Boguang took the opportunity to enter without paying attention. Taoist Tiansong was stabbed and seriously injured!

Obviously Tian Boguang didn't want to form a death feud with Wuyue Sword Sect, so his subordinates showed mercy and let them take away the injured Taoist Tiansong. Otherwise, there are just a few corpses now.

Of course, if these people were really killed, Tian Boguang would never leave Hengyang alive. Even for the sake of face, the Wuyue Sword Sect will take his head.

Li Mu, who hid in the dark and watched the excitement, shook his head secretly. He really didn't understand what happened to the protagonist Linghu Chong.

There were quite a few people in the arena who were watching the excitement, so if you speak less, you will die? With just a few words, he offended two factions of the Five Sacred Sword Sect.

Venerable Jin Guang had such an apprentice, it was also bad luck. Next, I don't know how many favors and how many smiles I have to pay to get rid of the matter.

It is gratifying that the plot has undergone slight changes, perhaps because the Five Sacred Sword School is stronger than the original novel. Not only did Tian Boguang not kill people this time, he even took care of his injuries.

Taoist Tiansong seemed to be seriously injured, but in fact it was a skin trauma, and more of it was for outsiders to see, so he could take the opportunity to step down.

Li Mu didn't intend to show his face. Now he, the mastermind behind the scenes, suddenly changed his mind and decided to make it more difficult for Linghu Chong, to see if the protagonist's halo can resist it.

...

In the Liu residence, there are already a lot of guests at this moment.

Songshan Lu Bai, Hengshan Dingyi Shitai, Huashan Yue Buqun, Qingcheng School Yu Canghai, Wudang Chonghe Taoist, Shaolin Fangren...

All of them are well-known big figures in the martial arts world, but this time the leaders of the five mountains and sects are all absent.

Obviously, Liu Zhengfeng's importance to the Wuyue Sword Sect is far less than that of the original book, and there is no need for the heads of the various sects to personally dispatch.

What was surprising was that not only did Mo Da not show up, but even Liu Zhengfeng's senior brothers didn't show up.

You must know that the current Hengshan School is not just two or three kittens and puppies. Liu Zhengfeng's disciples of the same generation have three figures, and there are not many of them to support him. There is obviously a problem.

Seeing Taoist Tiansong being carried over, Liu Zhengfeng, the host, hastily stepped forward to greet him: "Junior Brother Tiansong, who hurt you?"

Perhaps it was due to affection, and he didn't want to repeat the tragedy that he couldn't pretend to be, Taoist Tiansong decisively chose to pretend to be dizzy.

"Tian Boguang!"

A Taishan disciple gritted his teeth and said.

The atmosphere in the room changed instantly, and the faces of the members of the Five Sacred Sword Sect suddenly became ugly.

It's a shame. As an elder of the Wuyue Sword Sect, he actually lost to a prostitute of the same realm, and even went up to find him on his own initiative.

Although Taishan disciples have repeatedly emphasized that Tian Boguang used despicable methods. But it's okay not to explain, this explanation even exposed the matter of the joint siege.

In order to cover up the embarrassment, everyone tacitly chose to chase them out. As for whether Tian Boguang can be caught, that's not important, let's cover up this embarrassing thing first.

After returning in vain, the washing of the golden basin must continue. Although the auspicious time was missed, it didn't matter. For Liu Zhengfeng, as long as he could withdraw from the arena, any time could be an auspicious time.

Suddenly there was loud drumming outside the mansion, Liu Zhengfeng rushed out of Liu's mansion, all the heroes cheered and congratulated, Liu Zhengfeng cupped his hands slightly, and walked out the door.

After waiting for a while, he walked in respectfully accompanied by an official in official uniform.

All the heroes felt very strange. Could it be that this official is also a master of martial arts? Seeing that although he was well dressed, his eyes were dim and his face was drunk, it was obvious that he didn't have any martial arts.

Everyone thought to themselves: Liu Zhengfeng is a great gentry in Hengyang, so he has to communicate with people in the government on weekdays. Now is the great day for him to retire from the arena, and it is not surprising that some officials he has made friends with have come to deal with it.

"The imperial decree has arrived, Liu Zhengfeng accepts it!"

The voice of the male duck sounded, and the atmosphere in the room became silent. Seeing Liu Zhengfeng who was kneeling, all the people in the rivers and lakes present glared angrily.

If eyes could kill, Liu Zhengfeng would have been quartered by five horses by now. If it weren't for the fear of the power of the imperial court, I'm afraid everyone couldn't help but explode on the spot.

Seeing that only Liu Zhengfeng's family was kneeling, the official delivering the decree glared at everyone with murderous eyes. But seeing that the crowd showed no fear, after a little hesitation, the officials who came to deliver the decree finally held back.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor's edict said: According to the report of the governor of Hunan Province, Liu Zhengfeng, a commoner in Hengshan County, is eager for public service and righteousness. I hope, I admire this."

Ignoring the contempt of the people in the Jianghu, Liu Zhengfeng kowtowed again: "My humble minister Liu Zhengfeng thank you, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

After standing up, Liu Zhengfeng bowed to the official again and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your cultivation and promotion."

The official Nian Xu smiled and said: "Congratulations, congratulations, General Liu, from now on you and I will be ministers, but why should you be polite?"

Liu Zhengfeng said: "The young general was originally a reckless man. Today, he was awarded an official by the court. It is true that the emperor has been favored and made the young general honor his ancestors, but it is also an extra-standard cultivation by the benevolent prime minister, the governor and Mr. Zhang."

...

After exchanging pleasantries, a generous gift was presented, and Liu Zhengfeng's smile did not fade away after the future person sent him away.

This scene was beyond the expectation of the group of heroes, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, silent, everyone's face was jealous and angry.

There were quite a few people present who received imperial decrees, for example: Shaolin, Wudang, and Huashan were often canonized by the imperial court, and they were not criticized by the world. The most important thing is that none of the three sects had kneeled.

Of course, the situation is different. The three factions represent the face of the martial arts. Kneeling to submit to the court is slapping the faces of all martial arts people.

The position of a general is already quite high. If one were to take the position of a general, ninety-nine out of ten people in the arena would kneel and lick it.

The ones who can really ignore the temptation of official position are the big men in the rivers and lakes. Ordinary people in the rivers and lakes spend their whole lives running around in order to gain glory and wealth.

Embarrassedly carrying the golden basin, Liu Zhengfeng's hand was about to put it into the water, when suddenly there was a sound of swords and soldiers from the back house, followed by a group of masked men breaking into the hall!

Just when the group of heroes wondered which side it was that dared to do something on the ground of the Wuyue Sword Sect, the old man at the head sternly scolded:

"Liu Zhengfeng colluded with the Devil's Cult and intended to subvert my orthodox martial arts. Now that the news has leaked, he is thinking of quitting the arena. Don't you think it's too late?"

Hearing "collusion with the Demon Cult", the room exploded in an instant. There are believers, and there are unbelievers, and more people just watch the excitement.

"Who are you? Why don't you dare to show your true colors? There is nothing worthy of your concern about Liu's introspection. Why did you frame me?"

The old man in the lead took off his mask to reveal his majesty, and there was another commotion among the surrounding heroes, apparently quite a few people recognized the old man.

"Spot the double eagle—Wang Wenying!"

The old man nodded slightly, and said with a slightly desolate voice: "Yes, it is the old man. But now there are no two eagles, only my lone eagle."

Immediately after the painting style changed, Wang Wenying pointed at Liu Zhengfeng's nose and cursed: "Liu Zhengfeng owes all this to you. For the sake of the lives of more than 1,300 people sent by Diancang, I will seek justice from you today!"

The heroes were once again in an uproar. It is well known that the Sun Moon Sect destroyed the Dian Cang Sect. How did it involve Liu Zhengfeng?

Not to mention the people in the rivers and lakes present, even Li Mu, who is familiar with the plot, felt at a loss. The power of the butterfly effect is not so great, right?

Facing everyone's suspicious eyes, Liu Zhengfeng said angrily: "Senior Wang, I respect you as a senior in Jianghu.

If Liu's family members are released now, Liu Zhengfeng can still let you go as if nothing happened today.

If you don't know what is good or bad, you will blindly frame Liu. My Liu Zhengfeng's sword is not vegetarian either! "

"Hahaha……"

Wang Wenying sneered: "Liu Zhengfeng, don't be hypocritical here. If there is no evidence, how dare the old man come to the door today?"

While speaking, Wang Wenying bowed to everyone: "I think Cang Shuangying is a man, and many friends in the world must know it. If it is not forced, I, Wang, would not want to do this.

Today, I, Wang Wenying, hijacked my family members and held them hostage, which is indeed against the chivalrous way of the world. After the revenge is completed, the old man will definitely give everyone a satisfactory explanation.

Now, I invite you fellow Jianghu to be a witness!

Eighteen years ago, my Diancang sent Qu Yang into Huguang, where he was rescued by a masked man. Eight years later, Qu Yang led people to destroy our Dian Cang Sect, and was promoted to the high position of the Bright Right Envoy of the Sun Moon God Sect because of his meritorious service.

After years of investigation, I found that the person who rescued Quyang back then was on my right path. In order not to wrong the good people, we observed them for three years in a row.

Every full moon night, they will meet in private. Over the past three years, the two met thirty-five times, with only one interruption.

At this point, I don't need to continue talking! Liu Zhengfeng, you colluded with Qu Yang and intended to overthrow the martial arts, why don't you plead guilty? "

There are noses and eyes, and the people who eat melons are in an uproar. Deep down in his heart, he had believed eighty percent of Wang Wenying's words.

Everyone turned their attention to Liu Zhengfeng, hoping to give a reasonable explanation. Especially the members of the Five Sacred Sword Sect had even more dignified expressions.

First, Taoist Tiansong lost all face when he was defeated by Tian Boguang, but now if there is a trouble in the alliance where high-level officials collude with the Demon Cult, everyone will lose face.

"Senior Wang misunderstood, I only meet Brother Qu because of the rhythm, there is absolutely nothing to subvert my righteous way.

As for what happened eighteen years ago, Big Brother Qu was not a member of the Demon Cult at that time, but some accidents happened later and he was forced to join the Demon Cult. "

It's okay not to explain, this explanation is equivalent to admitting. Li Mu was very suspicious that Liu Zhengfeng had been cast with the Halo of Lowering Wisdom, otherwise such a thing would be unacceptable no matter what!

Anyway, empty mouth and white teeth, you saw it when you said you saw it? As long as he refuses to admit it, relying on the strength of the Five Sacred Sword Sect, he can completely suppress the matter.

With such a commotion now, no matter whether there is a misunderstanding or not, Liu Zhengfeng is dead. Even if the old man doesn't bother him, the Five Sacred Sword Sect won't tolerate those who collude with the Demon Sect.

"Misunderstand!"

"What a misunderstanding!"

"A misunderstanding by you, Liu Zhengfeng, cost the lives of more than 1,300 members of my Diancang Sect. What a big misunderstanding!"

Wang Wenying shouted almost roaringly: "My comrades, can you accept such a misunderstanding?"

"Of course it's unacceptable!"

Someone in the crowd quickly responded, and then the melon-eaters were filled with righteous indignation and expressed their disapproval.

Without waiting for Liu Zhengfeng to react, Wang Wenying directly knelt down in front of the crowd: "Hero Yue, Taoist Chong and Master Fang Ren, you are all highly respected people, the old man asks you to send more than 1,300 mouths to uphold justice for me!" !"

Seeing the scene in front of him, Yue Buqun was so frightened that he hurriedly stood up and helped Wang Wenying up: "Senior Wang, you absolutely must not do it!"

Glancing at the heroes, Yue Buqun bit the bullet and promised: "This matter involves me..."
