Chapter 785: The Last Straw

"Yuan Yan's shadow?"

Demon Sect looked at the secret note in his hand, he raised his head with infinite emotion, this secret note that was transmitted to his hand from the party territory at the fastest speed turned into ashes in his hand the moment his eyes left.

Helan Heiyun stood behind him with her head down, she understood the mood of the Demon Sect at this time.

Her emotions were even more complicated than those of the Demon Sect.

Many years before the Northern Wei Dynasty moved its capital, the Northern Wei Emperor had fully realized the importance of fast and reliable transmission of military information, and at that time, the Privy Council of the Northern Wei Emperor controlled the military situation was already very tightly organized.

As for Yuan Yan and Yuan Yan's shadow, who later merged with the Privy Council, the two actually had nothing to do with each other.

The top magnates of the Northern Wei Dynasty, in order to ensure their own safety, have the habit of cultivating their own stand-ins since many years ago, and in many occasions that do not have to be attended by themselves, or some very dangerous occasions, these magnates often hide in the shadows, but let their stand-ins take their place.

Yuan Yan was originally regarded by many Northern Wei magnates as a wild child picked up outside, just the emperor and queen mother of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but she seemed to have seen something different about her since then, and still selected her shadow for her in accordance with the highest specifications of the Northern Wei imperial family.

It turned out that the Emperor and the Empress Dowager of the Northern Wei Dynasty were right.

Whether it is Yuan Yan or Yuan Yan's shadow, after the Northern Wei Dynasty moved the capital, it quickly showed amazing strength, so that the Empress Dowager of the Northern Wei Dynasty handed over the entire Privy Council to Yuan Yan's hands, and Yuan Yan and her shadow did not disappoint her, in the next few years, they quickly established a perfect organization for the collection and transmission of military information in the Southern Dynasties, just like the projection of the Northern Wei Privy Council in the Southern Dynasties.

In the eyes of many Northern Wei people, Yuan Yan's shadow is even more terrifying than Yuan Yan, especially those Northern Wei magnates who know the selection process of the imperial family's shadow, and they understand what kind of cruel selection Yuan Yan's shadow went through to finally become Yuan Yan's shadow.

It's just that those people will not be understood by the Demon Sect and Helan Heiyun.

Because some of the links in the selection of the shadow of the Northern Wei royal family were originally from the hands of the Demon Sect, and Helan Heiyun was also one of the candidates for Yuan Yan's shadow, or more precisely, she was the shadow that was eliminated.

In the selection process of the Northern Wei royal family, the fate of the eliminated shadow was only death.

It's just that she survived because of the Demon Sect.

Who Yuan Yan's shadow is in the end, even she doesn't know, even the Demon Sect doesn't know, but who would have thought that Yuan Yan's shadow would not be in the Northern Wei Dynasty, but would be next to Lin Yi, who they attached great importance to.

"She's the winner, you're the loser of the year. ”

Demon Sect felt her complicated emotions at this time, he slowly turned his head, looked at her calmly, and said, "But in dealing with these things, I don't want you to do things with emotions that want to prove something, any emotions that shouldn't be there will lead to mistakes." ”

Helan Heiyun nodded and said, "I understand." ”

"Sometimes, success and failure don't mean good or bad, it's just the rules, and the rules are not absolutely fair. What we want to be is to make rules and break them. ”

The Demon Sect smiled faintly, "According to the Empress Dowager's preferences and wishes, that person has become Yuan Yan's shadow, but I have different criteria for selecting people, so among those people, I chose you." Naturally, you will not be inferior to that shadow. ”

Helan Heiyun nodded again and said, "I understand, there is no need to say so much. ”

Almost no one dared to speak to the Demon Sect like this, and no one would dislike the Demon Sect for talking too much, but at this time, when the Demon Sect heard her words, he laughed instead.

"It should have been when I went to Meishan that she got together with this young general of the Southern Dynasty. ”

The Demon Sect thought about it seriously, and said with some admiration: "At that time, Lin Yi was just a nobody with a lowly cultivation, and I couldn't see it at all, so I found some young people in Meishan, but he was not in my sight." At that time, he chose Lin Yi as his partner in the Southern Dynasty, and Yuan Yan was indeed worthy of respect. ”

The complicated emotions in Helan Heiyun's eyes have completely disappeared, and she thinks that whether Yuan Yan is worthy of respect or not is nonsense, for her, Yuan Yan has always been the most difficult opponent. She thought for a moment and said, "Being valued by Yuan Yan at that time, and even sending her own shadow to his side..."

Speaking of this, she paused, and continued: "And even Chen Baoyun and Xiao Shufei have an unusual relationship with him, this Lin Yi is indeed unusual. ”

The Demon Sect was silent for a moment and said, "It was my negligence. ”

Helan Heiyun glanced at him, and said very simply: "Do you want to kill Yuan Yan?"

The woman beside Lin Yi is Yuan Yan's shadow, but for the old woman in the Northern Wei Palace, Yuan Yan is her shadow, her stand-in, and her incarnation of walking in the Northern Wei Dynasty. ”

The Demon Sect shook his head sarcastically and said, "If you kill Yuan Yan directly, in her opinion, there is no difference between killing her directly, she will break with me at all costs, and I can't bear such anger." ”

Helan Heiyun lowered his head slightly, expressing his agreement.

The Demon Sect turned his head, looked at the flowing clouds in the sky, and said lightly: "Yuan Yan, like her, is the most difficult to deal with, just because of their identity, but as long as they cut off all their tentacles, they can't stir up many waves." ”

Helan Heiyun understood what she had to do, but she understood that the Demon Sect still had something to say, so she still listened quietly.

"There is no sudden disappearance in the world for no reason, in the newly built temple of the Northern Wei Dynasty, there are some outsiders. If I'm not mistaken, those people are probably from the Southern Dynasties. The Demon Sect said calmly: "Those people must also die. ”

Helan Heiyun's expression did not change at all, he just nodded again.

The Demon Sect's face showed a smile of relief, and said, "Have you ever heard the story of the last straw that broke the camel's back?"

Helan Heiyun said: "I heard it." ”

"Between me and the Sword Pavilion, it was originally difficult for the Emperor of the Southern Dynasty to choose, but the hand that Yuan Yan arranged by Lin Yi's side would become the last straw that crushed the camel. Demon Sect said: "With the temperament of the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, he can't stand a general like Lin Yi and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the Northern Wei Dynasty. ”

"So let Achaichen don't do anything, everything he wants, satisfy him. ”

The smile on the face of the Demon Sect became more intense, but it was inexplicably a little cruel, "Dang Xiang and Tuguhun don't do anything, the stronger Lin Yi becomes, the heavier this straw will be." ”
