Chapter 485 ‘Persuasion’
In a blink of an eye, time has come to late autumn.
It was a clear and sunny day, a good day for going out for fun.
Early in the morning, Liu Zhengfeng didn't even bother to have breakfast, and he excitedly hugged his beloved musical instrument and left the Liu Mansion without looking back.
Everyone in the Liu Mansion, including Liu Zhengfeng's apprentices, were accustomed to this and didn't think there was anything wrong.
Although the master's hobbies were a little more elegant and a little too obsessed, it was not something that was difficult to understand or even disgusting. Who doesn't have a hobby?
It's just that Liu Zhengfeng has money and leisure, and can indulge in it without affecting his normal life and work.
What they didn't know was that today was the day when Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang met, and Liu Zhengfeng had been looking forward to this day.
He was running in a hurry, and didn't notice Jia Huan's tall and strong body a mile away.
He was really obsessed with hobbies and couldn't extricate himself!
Seeing Liu Zhengfeng's undisguised behavior, he was quite disapproving in his heart. Isn't this too relaxed?
It is true that Hengyang is the home of the Hengshan School, but if there are really masters spying, Liu Zhengfeng's behavior is too conspicuous.
He just hung behind Liu Zhengfeng from a distance, and followed him slowly into the dense forest.
Soon, Liu Zhengfeng came to a place with beautiful scenery.
There are sparse trees here, but there are mountains, water and a small waterfall. At the same time, various mountain flowers are blooming around, and there are all kinds of fruit fragrances.
It is definitely a good place to meet with friends and hold a private forest concert.
Soon, Qu Yang, with half white hair, came out from the small waterfall with a little girl about ten years old.
Next, Jia Huan, who had been hiding a few miles away, enjoyed a feast of hearing.
Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang can become close friends. They are both very accomplished in music. The songs they play are integrated with their own life insights, which can make the audience unconsciously fall into some kind of reverie.
Unfortunately, the world of Xiaoao is only a low-level martial arts world, not a high-level martial arts world, and Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang cannot use music to enter the Tao.
At most, it makes the audience feel cleansed and immersed in the scene.
"You two are really in a good mood!"
Jia Huan played the villain who ruined the atmosphere and came out of his hiding place leisurely.
Swish, swish, swish...
As a result, what was waiting for him was the black blood needle as thin as a cow's hair, and Liu Zhengfeng next to him had no time to stop it.
Boom!
Jia Huan's expression did not change, and he suddenly swung out with a palm.
Suddenly, the palm power surged, like a wall of air, sweeping all the attacking black blood needles to the ground.
"Brother Qu, don't be impulsive!"
Liu Zhengfeng stopped it in time, and Qu Yang, who was ready to continue to attack, looked at Jia Huan with a very complicated look, and said: "Elder Jia, can you give Liu a face and let Brother Qu go!"
Qu Yang next to him remained silent, but his gleaming eyes revealed some of his emotions.
"The chivalrous beggar Jia Huan is indeed worthy of his reputation!"
Qu Yang was ready to attack at any time, and his eyes were full of vigilance when he looked at Jia Huan.
But his heart was cold, and he even had the idea of risking his life.
The martial arts this guy practiced must be the kind that is quick to learn and extremely stressful on the body.
When he was young, he relied on his good physical foundation and vigorous blood and didn't care about anything. When he was old and his blood was declining, his strength declined rapidly.
At this time, even with the black blood needle in hand, there was no guarantee that he could hurt Jia Huan.
The title of chivalrous beggar was not blown, but a top master in the world who fought with strength.
Even if he was not as strong as Dongfang Bubai and Feng Qingyang, Qu Yang could not easily compete with him.
Adding his close friend Liu Zhengfeng, it was not enough!
What he didn't know was that Liu Zhengfeng was just nervous at this time, and he was not completely desperate.
As a neighbor, Liu Zhengfeng had a deep understanding of Jia Huan.
Knowing that this person is not a person who likes to compete, if he really wants to kill, why would he bother to talk nonsense with them?
Just give him and his friend Qu Yang a few palms, they can't bear it at all, this is certain.
So, he opened his mouth to plead for Qu Yang!
"Haha, Liu Zhengfeng, you are very brave, do you know what the consequences will be if the matter is spread?"
Jia Huan rushed over and said calmly: "Your family, your master, and your disciples will all be in serious danger. Don't you care at all?"
Liu Zhengfeng's face turned pale in an instant, and he trembled and said: "It's Liu's fault, so Liu plans to retire from the world!"
When he said this, he took the initiative to look at Qu Yang, and his tone became firm: "Brother Qu will also retire from the world with me!"
"It's easy to say!"
Jia Huan sneered: "You and Qu Yang want the golden basin If I retire from the martial arts world, will the leaders of the Five Mountains Alliance agree to it? "
"Will the Demon Cult let Qu Yang go easily?"
Ignoring the ugly faces of the two people in front of him, whose combined age was close to a hundred years old, he chuckled and said, "You are all old martial artists. You don't really think that you will be fine if you retire from the martial arts world!"
Liu Zhengfeng was stunned when he heard this, but a confident smile appeared on his face: "What if I can get an official position?"
Jia Huan pulled the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "I'm not trying to discourage you. If you want to buy an official position, you have to have a connection!"
"Do you know who to find, whose connection, whether it is reliable or not, how is the credit, what official position and what price do you know?"
After several questions, Liu Zhengfeng was immediately confused.
Liu Zhengfeng was considered a rich man in Hengyang City, but that was all.
Because I am a Jianghu person, I don't have much dealings with government agencies, and my relationship is quite ordinary.
Judging from his appearance, it is obvious that he is not involved with the local squire group, and his relationship with the local scholars is not very close.
Under such circumstances, isn't it a joke to rashly want to buy an official position?
In the world of Red Mansions, Jia Huan is a top dignitary, so he naturally understands many of the secrets and twists and turns.
In the original work of Xiaoao, there are many unreasonable things in the scene where Liu Zhengfeng receives the imperial edict at home.
The most important thing is that even though there was an imperial edict, there were no local officials to bear witness. This is simply ridiculous.
Of course, it cannot be said that the imperial edict Liu Zhengfeng received was fake.
In the Ming Dynasty, there were many doctrines and methods in the imperial edicts. It was obvious that Liu Zhengfeng was deceived.
The most fake thing is that Liu Zhengfeng directly bought the official position of a general.
What's more, a third-grade general in the Ming Dynasty was equivalent to the status of a provincial military commander in later generations.
Even if it is just a false position, it is still quite remarkable.
As long as it works well, he can become a fifth-grade actual guerrilla general, and he can be regarded as a middle-level general in the Ming army.
It's not that Jia Huan underestimated Liu Zhengfeng. With the Liu family's status, strength, and various connections, even if they had money, they couldn't buy the empty post of general.
"Elder Jia means that if I buy an official position, it won't work at all?"
Liu Zhengfeng reacted suddenly and said in disbelief: "With the current world situation, what can't be done with money?"
"How many official friends do you have?"
Jia Huan sneered: "What are their characters and abilities? Are they willing to do you such a favor?"
Seeing that Liu Zhengfeng opened his mouth and wanted to say something else, Jia Huan waved his hand directly and said: "Forget it, don't talk about it, I'll give you two choices!"
Jia Huan ignored Liu Zhengfeng's wonderful expression and said directly: "One is to take the initiative to hand over your burdens directly to your close disciples. You and Qu Yang will quickly take your family and leave the Ming Dynasty!"
"The second option is to continue to go your own way regardless of what happens, and just ignore what will happen in the future!"
"this……"
Liu Zhengfeng was quite hesitant when he heard this. He obviously hadn't thought so far and couldn't make a decision for a while.
"Why, do you still think that the matter between you and Qu Yang can be concealed forever?"
Jia Huan said with a smile: "If you want others to know, you have to do nothing unless you do it yourself!"
"In recent years, the Hengshan Sect has developed quite rapidly, especially the second generation of disciples who have emerged one after another and have the strength and confidence to become the pillars of the sect!"
"And the relationship with the Beggar Clan and Wudang is quite good, and its strength is second to none in the Five Mountains Alliance!"
"As the number two figure of the Hengshan Sect and the de facto general manager, there are so many pairs of eyes peeking secretly. I think Liu Zhengfeng knows what you know, so you don't need me to remind you!"
"Once exposed, it will not only be Liu Zhengfeng's own problem, but the entire Hengshan Sect will suffer heavy losses!"
With these words, Liu Zhengfeng's face turned pale again, and his mood fell into a low point for a while.
Jia Huan continued: "In addition, Qu Yang's situation is also very bad. Do you really think that the Demon Cult said that you can leave if you leave, and you have the approval of the leader Dongfang Bubai?"
Qu Yang smiled bitterly and shook his head. This was what he was most worried about.
"Once the Demon Sect finds out that Qu Yang wants to retire because of you, Liu Zhengfeng, how will they react?"
Jia Huan's words were like a demonic voice filling their ears, causing Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang to feel frightened for a while: "The Demonic Cult will definitely take revenge, and maybe it will attract the interest of Dongfang Bubai!"
These words were so intimidating that Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang's expressions subconsciously became frightened.
The best player in the world, Dongfang Bubai!
There is no need to explain too clearly how amazing this person's weight and strength are. Anyway, everyone understands.
"What is your purpose? Tell me!"
Qu Yang's psychological quality is quite good. He calmed down quickly, looked at Jia Huan and said in a deep voice: "If it's not too embarrassing, Qu can agree!"
Liu Zhengfeng remained indifferent, but he wanted to hear what Jia Huan's conditions were, and he was in a very unhappy mood.
"My conditions are simple!"
Jia Huan saw this directly and said leisurely: "I will help you and your family leave the Ming Dynasty safely. You two will work for me for ten years. Of course you will not violate ethics!"
"good!"
Liu Zhengfeng agreed without thinking, otherwise what else could he do?
