C669 The Stone Statue

"You are the stinkerer! He made it sound so unpleasant. Hmph, I can't be bothered with you anymore. " Muyan Wenying had obviously calmed down by now. When she heard that Zhang Jingxuan cared about them again, although she felt touched in her heart, she was not willing to admit it verbally.

"Haha, you are a cooked duck. Only your mouth is hard. Brother Xuan, we just got scolded and can't come out for too long. We have to go back inside now. I hope this matter will pass quickly, so that we can come out and play with you. "

Murong Lingyun was still a child after all. At this time, she still wanted to play. Zhang Jingxuan felt slightly uneasy and used these two innocent and innocent girls as a cover. He really felt a little bad. If this matter were to end, he was afraid that he would have to return to the south. It was hard to say whether he would have the chance to see them again in this life.

However, this was not the time to be sentimental. He nodded at them with concern and secretly made up his mind. At least during this period of time in Beiting, he would protect them well.

Not long after this group of guests left, Zhang Jingxuan was still thinking about the various problems that could not be cut off, but his train of thought was interrupted.

A tall and thin man came to visit. The man was dressed in ordinary clothes, and no one could tell his identity from his clothes. However, Zhang Jingxuan knew that this man was a tough opponent the moment he saw him. A man like him... No matter where he was, no one could look down on him. Zhang Jingxuan even suspected that this man's strength wasn't any weaker than Kuiguang's Great Lama. However, he was like a shadow that he had never heard of before. He had named himself Niu Er. If someone who didn't know what was good for him heard his name behind his back, he might laugh at the fact that this man was called 'Niu Er'. However, if this man was in front of him, no one would dare to make such a joke. Because no matter who it was, as long as it was not a silly child, seeing him... They would know that this person couldn't be used to joke around.

Niu Er was here to invite Zhang Jingxuan, and Zhang Jingxuan didn't seem to be able to refuse, because the person Niu Er represented was the Great Lord, Dorgon.

The First Prince was not the oldest prince, nor was he the most senior prince. He was publicly acknowledged as the most powerful prince. It was unknown when this name had come from, but since it had appeared... It was as if it had become a custom, and everyone called it that. Other than Hogg and the others calling Dorgon uncle, the rest called him "Great Lord." This Great Lord could be said to be the most powerful person in Qing Dynasty Empire. Of course, at least 50% of the generals in the army were loyal to him. The rest of the generals were loyal to him. About 30% of them were his subordinates, and the remaining 20% were his subordinates. About half of the master's grants... The other half was under his command.

It was a random army, and no one belonged to it. That was why there was a saying in the Northern Territory, "The First Prince frowns, and ten heads will roll down from the ground." On one hand, it was to say that he was powerful, and on the other, it was to say that he was temperamental.

Of course, for rulers, it was not a happy thing to have their tempers figured out.

Now that he was summoned by the First Prince, Zhang Jingxuan's heart would naturally not be completely calm.

But no matter what, he did not have sufficient reason to reject such a figure. Then he might as well be more generous. He still remembered the day Fu Lin brought him into the Palace. Hogg and Dorgon appeared one after another, but he was still injured at that time. He hid in the sedan chair and did not have the chance to see Dorgon. However, at that time, Haoge had wanted to see him being rejected by Fu Lin with great difficulty. Dorgon didn't mention anything about it. Today, he did not expect that this great prince would be the first to meet him. It was really hard to say what kind of medicine this gourd was selling.

Whether it was a blessing or a disaster, Zhang Jingxuan couldn't avoid it, so he followed this Ox Ear.

The place they met was a small side hall, and Fu Lin had yet to ascend to Dabao. Therefore, the government was still controlled by Dorgon, Haoge, and a few old officials of Abahai's era. Of course, even if Fu Lin ascended the throne, the situation wouldn't change immediately. It was also hard to say.

Niu Er quietly stood aside when they arrived.

Dorgon, who was sitting in the middle, was still like a rock. He would not change because of his different posture. His eyes were like stone sculptures, not revealing the slightest change in emotion.

Staring at a stone man was obviously not that interesting. Zhang Jingxuan noticed that there was another person on the other side, as if he was carved from the same mold as Bull's Ear. However, both of them seemed to be the same shadow of Dorgon that could overlap at any time. Zhang Jingxuan couldn't help but estimate that if he was attacked by these two people... What was his chance of winning? Or, what was his chance of escaping? Ever since that painful lesson in Qixia Ridge, Zhang Jingxuan would often remind him. He would try his best not to fight a battle that he was not confident in.

Dorgon seemed to have seen through his heart. At this moment, he laughed and drew Zhang Jingxuan's attention back to him.

This time, Zhang Jingxuan discovered that this stone statue seemed to have suddenly come alive and was no longer hard.

"Kid, you don't have to be suspicious. Don't you Han people have a saying? A person does not commit crimes, and you are not afraid of ghosts knocking on your door in the middle of the night. These two old subordinates of mine, this is Bull's Ear. This one is a ponytail. Those who followed me back then, have all left me... Some died for value, while others died for no reason. My old buddy's life is just like mine, becoming more and more precious. Don't worry, I won't use them to take risks and make things difficult for you."

"Greetings, Your Highness. This kid was afraid of being tricked by someone, so it made Your Highness laugh. " Zhang Jingxuan's expression did not change as he frankly admitted it.

"Haha, you're a straightforward kid. At least I don't hate you."

What Zhang Jingxuan didn't know was that Dorgon had already given him a very high evaluation. Actually, Zhang Jingxuan had mixed feelings about this Dorgon. If they met on the battlefield, both sides would be enemies that would fight to the death. However, in the current situation, the two of them seemed to be on the same side. Zhang Jingxuan decided not to think too much about it. He would think about it after thinking about what was in front of him.

"Thank you, Your Highness. I still don't know why you summoned me."

"It's nothing. I just wanted to have a casual chat with you. The world is so big, but there aren't many people who can chat. Tell me, isn't this kind of thing quite unbearable?"

" The so-called lonely people are probably all like this. As the saying goes, when one is at a high place, one will not be able to bear the cold. If people want to accomplish something, they must make some sacrifices? "

Zhang Jingxuan casually replied. After saying it out loud, even he himself didn't think that he would give such an answer. Dorgon also seemed to be slightly surprised.
