Chapter 236: Huang Taiji’s Fear of Peng Feng
Of course.
Emperor Chongzhen also called Peng Feng, as well as Peng Feng’s mother, Zhu Yufei.
They went to the capital.
They held an engagement ceremony.
This made Zhu Yufei very happy. Her son was engaged to Emperor Chongzhen’s most beloved daughter, Princess Kunxing. This was a great thing, bringing honor to her ancestors.
Peng Feng also met Princess Kunxing, Zhu Weichuo, in the imperial palace.
This young girl had fair skin, an oval face, red lips, a high, delicate nose, and extremely spirited eyes, possessing a beautiful heroic aura.
She was about 1.65 meters tall, flat-chested, with a slender waist, and a pair of long legs. She had no left hand, only a right hand. Beside her right hand was a long sword. Her whole person was full of heroic spirit.
She wasn’t too afraid when she met Peng Feng, and said calmly, “You are my fiancé?”
“Yes.” Peng Feng nodded. Princess Kunxing Zhu Weichuo’s appearance was indeed quite good, meeting his aesthetic standards.
“When you grow up, I will marry you, and I also hope you can contribute to the Great Ming.” Princess Kunxing Zhu Weichuo said.
Peng Feng: “Hehe.”
How could he contribute to the Great Ming? The Great Ming was so rotten that it was impossible for one person to save it. Zhang Juzheng was powerful, right? Even he couldn’t change it.
Any dynasty, when it reached its end, would be rotten to an appalling degree, and not something that human power could change.
Besides, his engagement with Princess Kunxing Zhu Weichuo was just a delaying tactic. To expect him to contribute much to the Great Ming Dynasty was really wishful thinking.
Although Princess Kunxing Zhu Weichuo didn’t understand the meaning of the two words “hehe,” she vaguely felt that “hehe” was not a good word: “What do you mean by ‘hehe’?”
“It doesn’t mean anything.” Peng Feng shook his head, and then immediately put on a look of loyalty to the Great Ming.
Although Princess Kunxing Zhu Weichuo felt that Peng Feng was a little strange, she ultimately didn’t know what was strange, and in the end, she could only give up.
Three days later.
Emperor Chongzhen personally presided over this grand engagement ceremony, giving Peng Feng plenty of face.
The powerful and influential people of the Great Ming, as long as they were in the capital, basically participated in this engagement ceremony.
These powerful and influential people of the Great Ming also tried to win Peng Feng over.
Peng Feng accepted all the benefits. These powerful and influential people of the Great Ming were all sucking the blood and flesh of the common people, so taking their things didn’t give him any psychological burden.
After the engagement.
Peng Feng left the capital with a wood carving in his hand.
This wood carving was a gift from Princess Kunxing Zhu Weichuo.
The wood carving had sharp sword energy, representing Princess Kunxing’s understanding of the way of the sword.
Giving her fiancé a gift that wasn’t a handkerchief or a jade pendant, but a wood carving made of swords, Princess Kunxing Zhu Weichuo, this little girl, was quite interesting.
◈◈◈
At the time of Peng Feng’s engagement with Princess Kunxing Zhu Weichuo.
On the Manchu Qing side.
The current emperor of the Manchu Qing, Huang Taiji, was standing with his hands behind his back.
Huang Taiji was about five meters tall, with a broad back and a thick waist. His whole person exuded an extraordinary domineering aura, giving off a “those who submit to me shall live, those who oppose me shall die” kind of feeling.
And beside Huang Taiji, there were several other people.
Among them was a middle-aged scholar about 1.7 meters tall, with a calm smile on his face and a feather fan in his hand. This middle-aged scholar holding a feather fan was the great Han traitor, the great despicable scoundrel Fan Wencheng.
Fan Wencheng’s idol was Zhuge Kongming, so he imitated Zhuge Kongming by holding a feather fan. Of course, if Zhuge Kongming found out that later generations would have such a great Han traitor and despicable scoundrel as a fan, he would directly scold Fan Wencheng until he vomited blood.
And on the side, there was also Haoge.
That’s right, it was Haoge who had lost the precious Heavenly Dao reward, the Rebirth Technique.
“So, you were defeated by this thirteen-year-old child in three moves, and if it weren’t for the Rebirth Technique, you would have died in the hands of this thirteen-year-old child.” Huang Taiji’s eyes flashed with a sharp light as he asked.
Haoge also felt very ashamed, but when faced with his father’s inquiry, he could only nod helplessly.
“A thirteen-year-old in the Loose Immortal Realm. Even I probably can’t match such a cultivation speed.” Huang Taiji’s eyes revealed a deep sense of fear: “This child must not be allowed to live, otherwise, he will surely become a great threat in the future. If he grows up, I’m afraid even I might not be able to deal with him.”
You must know, who was Huang Taiji? He was the number one expert in the world right now.
He had carefully assessed the heroes of the world.
Chongzhen was just a good-for-nothing who could barely hold onto the Great Ming with the help of the Investiture of the Gods Magical Artifact left by his ancestors.
Zhang Xianzhong, although he could be considered a hero of his time, was nothing more than that.
◈◈◈
Wu Sangui, who was guarding Shanhaiguan, was also just an ordinary person, not worth mentioning.
Huang Taiji had previously discussed the heroes of the Central Plains and only feared Li Zicheng, believing that Li Zicheng was indeed a worthy opponent.
Apart from Li Zicheng, all the others were not worth worrying about.
But now, Huang Taiji had begun to fear Peng Feng, a thirteen-year-old child.
If this matter were to be made public, the whole world would probably be in an uproar.
And the people in the hall, upon hearing Huang Taiji’s tone of fear, were also greatly startled. This Peng Feng was so strong that he could actually make His Majesty, the number one expert in the world, fear him.
But thinking about it, a thirteen-year-old child had reached the Loose Immortal Realm.
Then, everything made sense.
“Yes. This child must not be allowed to live.” Fan Wencheng shook his feather fan, his eyes full of seriousness.
“However, this child is not in Liaodong, but in Jiangnan. Jiangnan is the heartland of the Great Ming, so it won’t be easy to kill him,” Huang Taiji said.
Fan Wencheng shook his feather fan and said, “We can only send assassins to do it. We don’t have many Heavenly Immortal Realm experts, and the Heavenly Immortal Realm experts are being watched by the Great Ming, so it’s not easy to sneak into Jiangnan.
We can send assassins in the Earth Immortal Realm. That kid Leng Geli is at the fourth level of the Earth Immortal Realm. Moreover, he is skilled in assassination techniques and is known as the number one assassin of our Manchu Qing. His methods are so strange that sometimes even I can’t predict them.
If he takes action, no matter how much of a Loose Immortal Realm this thirteen-year-old child is, he will definitely not survive. It’s a sure thing.”
Huang Taiji thought for a moment: “Alright. Let’s do it that way.”
This Leng Geli was almost the strongest assassin in his hands.
“Go and call Leng Geli here.”
“Yes.” Immediately someone went to call Leng Geli.
After a while, a thin, middle-aged man who was not very tall entered the hall and gave a simple bow: “Greetings, Your Majesty.”
Huang Taiji explained the matter.
And this thin man, Leng Geli, an assassin at the fourth level of the Earth Immortal Realm, nodded without hesitation and said coldly, “A thirteen-year-old in the Loose Immortal Realm is indeed very terrifying. Then I will go and kill this person. With me taking action, this little child is dead for sure, there’s no chance of survival.”
Huang Taiji and Fan Wencheng both nodded. With the Manchu Qing’s number one assassin taking action, how could the opponent survive?
Haoge also knew that with this person taking action, Peng Feng would surely die.
He was a little regretful, but he also breathed a sigh of relief. Peng Feng was too strong. He had defeated him at the age of thirteen, and he even had a psychological shadow. If Peng Feng could die, it would naturally dispel this psychological shadow.
Peng Feng, please go and die.
After you die, I will still be the number one expert among the young generation of the Manchu Qing and the entire Great Ming.
◈◈◈
And during the following period.
Peng Feng continued to cultivate in the Flower Sect’s base, Yandang Mountain.
He was only at the third level of the Earth Immortal Realm right now. This world had Heavenly Immortal Realm experts, so he couldn’t get carried away.
One day, he was cultivating the Eight Nine Arcane Skill.
Suddenly, he faintly felt that something was wrong.
But then he discovered that the entire sky had darkened.
And in the air, there was a faint fragrance.
This fragrance was a sleeping drug.
A sleeping drug that could even knock out immortals.
However, this sleeping drug couldn’t knock Peng Feng out. One reason was that Peng Feng’s cultivation had reached the third level of the Earth Immortal Realm, his cultivation realm was too high, and the second reason was that the Eight Nine Arcane Skill was a truly top-tier defensive technique. This defense was not only physical defense, but also could defend against poison, sleeping drugs, and the like.
Peng Feng could feel that under the effect of this sleeping drug, the other people of the Flower Sect had fallen into a deep sleep.
Someone had invaded the Flower Sect.
He didn’t know who it was.
Peng Feng also wanted to trick the other side, pretending to be knocked out by the sleeping drug, and when the opponent thought he was knocked out and was not paying attention, he would ambush them.
