Qing Imperial Palace.
After Dorgon arrived at the palace, his journey was smooth and he went straight to the harem.
At this time, all the officials gathered at Prince He's Mansion. The thirteen-year-old little emperor Xuan Ye did not go to court and was studying in the imperial study.
When he heard the news that Dorgon had entered the palace, the little emperor's face was full of awe and panic, and he hurriedly came to greet him.
"How come Grandpa Huang has time to come to the palace today?" Xuan Ye said respectfully.
Dorgon is the uncle of Xuan Ye's father, Shunzhi Emperor Fulin, and is twice as senior as Xuan Ye.
In addition, the imperial grandfather had been in power as regent for many years and had already planted a seed of awe in the young Xuan Ye's heart. Therefore, in front of Dorgon, Xuan Ye did not dare to act like an emperor at all.
Dorgon glanced at the young emperor, but was not in the mood to pay attention to him at the moment. He just said lightly: "This king has come to the palace to do some errands. If your majesty is fine, please read more books so that you can take charge of the government as soon as possible in the future."
"Xuan Ye understands, thank you Grandpa Huang for your guidance." Xuan Ye said respectfully.
Dorgon nodded and continued walking into the palace.
It wasn't until Dorgon was completely invisible that Xuan Ye breathed a sigh of relief, stood up slowly, then subconsciously wiped the non-existent sweat stains on his forehead and said:
"Xiaobao, why do you think Grandpa Huang came to the palace?"
The little eunuch next to him hurriedly stepped forward, rolled his eyes, and whispered: "Your Majesty, I heard that the four-party coalition is attacking the capital, and all the ministers are looking for the regent. The regent may be afraid of trouble, so he came here. Hiding in the palace.”
As he said that, Wei Xiaobao's eyes widened and he said quickly: "What's wrong, this is the harem, the Regent won't think...his! The Regent's sword is really young!"
Xuan Ye was young and innocent, and he was a little confused: "What does Grandpa Huang think?"
Wei Xiaobao smiled awkwardly and said: "That...that's what, study the structure of the word "kun"."
The structure of the word "kun"?
Xuan Ye looked confused, but then he immediately realized what he was saying and scolded him quickly: "Grandpa Huang is dedicated to serving the country, so don't talk nonsense."
"Yes." Wei Xiaobao quickly responded in a low voice.
Xuan Ye turned around and looked outside the palace, with a hint of worry in his eyes, and sighed in a low voice, "I didn't expect that after just getting rid of an Obai, the Qing Dynasty was in chaos again. Allied forces from all directions attacked the capital. As an emperor, what could I do? I can’t do it, alas…”
Wei Xiaobao comforted him: "Your Majesty, don't worry. We have hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the Qing Dynasty, and there is also a regent in the court who is in charge of the overall situation. Everything will be fine."
Xuan Ye shook his head and said: "Although I have never left the palace, I have heard about the terrifying aspects of those martial arts masters, especially the Ming Dynasty's Xichangchang Gongyuhuatian. It is said that this person single-handedly Just suppressed the entire Ming Dynasty martial arts!"
Xuan Ye had some envy in his eyes and said: "It's a pity that such a brave person cannot be used by our Qing Dynasty..."
Wei Xiaobao's eyes rolled around, martial arts master?
How high can it be?
Is there anyone like my master Chen Jinnan Gao?
How dare Yuhuatian from Laoshizi compete with me for favor?
When he leaves the palace next time, I will ask Master to beat him to death!
snort!
…
Dorgon walked all the way and soon came to a quiet courtyard deep in the Qing Palace.
This is the place where the royal palace and dragon veins gather, and it is also the place where the national destiny is strongest.
Just standing here, you can feel a vast momentum coming towards your face, which wakes you up and gives you a sense of awe inexplicably.
But at this time, on the grass in the center of the courtyard, there was a figure sitting cross-legged and eyes closed.
I saw that this man was over fifty years old, but he had a strange appearance. He didn't look like a Chinese from China or a foreign race from the north. He had deep eye sockets, a high nose, light hair, and a small flower hat on his head, which was quite strange.
At this time, his whole body was covered with a layer of pale golden halo. As he breathed, the golden light flickered and dimmed, and a vast and majestic momentum spread out.
Dorgon had a solemn look in his eyes, walked into the courtyard slowly, cupped his hands and said:
"Dorgon, I have met my senior."
The old man slowly opened his eyes, and the breath on his body gradually became calm. He stared at Dorgon, nodded slightly, and spoke poor Central Plains language.
"Afanti, see the prince."
"I wonder what the prince wants me to do when he comes here?"
Dorgon said in a deep voice:
"I am very sorry for disturbing the practice of my seniors. However, our Qing Dynasty is facing enemies from all sides and is in danger. I would like to ask my seniors to come out and help our Qing Dynasty repel the powerful enemies. Otherwise, once our Qing Dynasty is overturned, I am afraid that seniors will not be able to continue." Let’s continue practicing with peace of mind.”
"Strong enemy?"
A trace of doubt flashed in Afanti's eyes, and he said, "Is it that Night Emperor? Didn't I help you fight back last time?"
Dorgon shook his head and said: "It's not Ye Emperor. This person is stronger than Ye Emperor. This person is responsible for the current chaos in our Qing Dynasty."
Afanti nodded and said: "Then when he comes to attack the palace, I will take action to help you repel him, right?"
Dorgon said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid not!"
"Because this person's whereabouts are elusive and he is extremely powerful, my people don't know where he is. We need seniors to come out of seclusion and take the initiative to find him."
"And, instead of defeating him, I have to kill him in order to relieve the danger of my Qing Dynasty!"
Hearing that he was about to leave seclusion, Afanti was obviously a little reluctant. He frowned and said, "Since he won't come to the capital, what are you worried about? When I came to the Qing Dynasty, I promised to help you protect the palace. , but I didn’t say I wanted to help you kill people.”
Hearing this, a coldness flashed across Dorgon's eyes and he clenched his fists subconsciously. However, thinking of the current situation, he suppressed the anger in his heart and explained with emotion and reason:
"Senior, I don't know. At this moment, I have completely cleared the capital area, and other places have fallen."
"If this continues, it won't be long before the only area that our Qing Dynasty can control is the capital city. By then, our Qing Dynasty's national destiny will also be affected."
"Since the senior has lent me the Qing Dynasty's national destiny to practice, he should know the importance of the national destiny. Once the national destiny is affected, the senior's cultivation will also be affected, right?"
Afanti nodded slightly: "This... makes sense."
Dorgon quickly took advantage of the victory and pursued the attack, saying: "So, even if you want your senior to be able to practice with peace of mind, you must take action to eliminate the enemies from all directions and stabilize the fate of our country, the Qing Dynasty."
Afanti pondered for a moment, and then asked: "You said that person is stronger than Ye Di?"
Dorgon nodded and said: "Yes, this person was at the Northwest Daqimen a few months ago. It is said that he fought with Emperor Ye. Later Emperor Ye lost to him, so he helped him attack the Qing Dynasty."
"Then do you know his specific strength? How high is he?" Afan asked.
Dorgon pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "I don't know the specifics, but it is said that this person's martial arts realm has only reached the Grand Master realm, and he only has the strength of the heavenly level."
"Grandmaster?!"
Afanti's eyes widened, looking very incredible.
Then he shook his head decisively and said, "Then I can't help you."
He is not a fool. At the Grand Master level, he has the strength to fight against the heavenly beings. Who knows if an accident will happen if he goes out.
Dorgon was anxious and said quickly: "But according to the intelligence, this person is only slightly stronger than Ye Di. With the strength of the senior, he can definitely easily defeat this person!"
Afanti still shook his head: "You don't know, there is a kind of person in this world, who is called the son of destiny, the favorite of God."
"This kind of people are naturally protected by God. No matter how dangerous the situation is, they will not die. They can fight over the top. No matter how dangerous the situation is, they can turn defeat into victory."
"The person you are talking about, who can possess the strength to defy the heavenly beings at a mere grand master level, must be this kind of person."
"If he comes to the palace on his own initiative and is guarded by the national destiny, I won't be afraid of him. But if I take the initiative to find him, doesn't that mean I'm going to die?"
"I dont go."
Hearing this, Dorgon's face suddenly darkened.
What kind of destiny?
In his opinion, this is Afanti's excuse.
Dorgon said coldly: "If the senior is unwilling to help, then please leave our Qing Dynasty. In the future, our seniors will never want to use my Qing Dynasty to practice."
Knowing Afanti's character, Dorgon was not afraid of angering him and directly threatened the fate of the country.
Aren’t you going to cultivate with the help of my Qing Dynasty?
If you don't help me, I won't let you practice. Let's see what you do!
Unexpectedly, Afanti nodded when he heard this, stood up and said, "Forget it if you don't want to borrow it, then I'll go."
Dorgon was immediately dumbfounded.
Seeing that Afanti was really about to leave, he quickly said: "Wait a minute! Senior, I am just kidding, senior, don't be angry."
Afanti shook his head and said: "I'm not kidding you. Don't think that your Qing Dynasty's national destiny is so great. I have been practicing in your Qing Dynasty for decades, but the improvement is not very big. In the past few years, I have found that it has reached I have reached a bottleneck, and I have long wanted to go out for a walk to see if I can break through the shackles. Even if you don't tell me, I still want to leave."
With that said, Afanti wanted to leave.
But at this moment, it seemed that he suddenly discovered something. Afanti paused and looked up: "Huh? Is there someone there?"
Dorgon was also stunned for a moment, and it was too late to dissuade Afanti. He quickly looked up, but couldn't see anything.
But soon, a figure wearing a silver python robe walked out of the clouds and descended into the sky step by step.
Seeing this figure, Dorgon's pupils shrank, and his expression immediately changed:
"You are... Yuhuatian?!"
