Mo Zong looked at the secret note in his hand, and he raised his head with infinite emotion. The secret note, which was delivered to him as quickly as possible from Dangxiang territory, turned into ashes in his hand the moment his eyes left.
Helan Heiyun stood behind him with her head lowered. She understood the Mo Zong's mood at this time very well.
Her emotions are even more complicated than those of the Demon Sect.
Many years before the Northern Wei Dynasty moved its capital, the Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty had fully realized the importance of rapid and reliable transmission of military information. At that time, the organization of the Privy Council where the Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty controlled military information was already very strict.
As for Yuan Yan and Yuan Yan's shadow, who later merged with the Privy Council, the two originally had nothing to do with each other.
In order to ensure their own safety, the top dignitaries of the Northern Wei Dynasty have had the habit of cultivating their own substitutes many years ago. In many occasions where they are not required to attend, or in some very dangerous occasions, these dignitaries often hide in the dark, but instead
Let your substitute take your place.
At first, in the eyes of many dignitaries of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Yuan Yan was just a wild child picked up from outside. She was just the emperor and the empress dowager of the Northern Wei Dynasty. However, it seems that they saw something unique about her from that time on, and she still followed the highest standards of the Northern Wei royal family.
Specifications, her shadow was picked for her.
Facts have proved that the Northern Wei Emperor and the Empress Dowager were right.
Whether it was Yuan Yan or Yuan Yan's shadow, they quickly showed amazing strength after the Northern Wei Dynasty moved the capital, so much 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
They did not disappoint her. In the next few years, they quickly established a complete organization for collecting and transmitting military information in the Southern Dynasties, just like the projection of the Privy Council of the Northern Wei Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties.
In the eyes of many people in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Yuan Yan's shadow is even more terrifying than Yuan Yan. Especially those dignitaries in the Northern Wei Dynasty who know the selection process of the royal shadow, and understand what kind of cruel selection Yuan Yan's shadow went through before he finally
Become Yuan Yan’s shadow.
It's just that those people are not as understanding as Mo Zong and Helan Heiyun.
Because some aspects of the selection of the shadows of the Northern Wei royal family were originally done by the Demon Sect, and Helan Heiyun was once one of the candidates for Yuanyan's shadow, or to be more precise, she was the eliminated shadow.
In the selection process of the Northern Wei royal family, the fate of the eliminated shadows was death.
But she survived because of the Demon Sect.
Not even she or the Demon Sect knew who Yuan Yan's shadow was in the end. However, who would have thought that Yuan Yan's shadow was not in the Northern Wei Dynasty, but next to Lin Yi, whom they valued very much.
"She is the winner, you were the loser back then."
Mo Zong felt her complicated emotions at this time. He slowly turned his head, looked at her calmly, and said: "But when dealing with these things, I don't want you to do things with the emotion of wanting to prove something, any
Undue emotions will lead to errors."
Helan Heiyun nodded and said: "I understand."
"Sometimes, success and failure do not mean good or bad, but only depend on the rules, and the rules are not absolutely fair. What we want to be is a being who makes rules and breaks them."
Mo Zong smiled faintly, "According to the Empress Dowager's preferences and wishes, that person became Yuan Yan's shadow, but I have different criteria for selecting people, so among those people, I chose you. Naturally you won't
Not as good as that shadow."
Helan Heiyun nodded again and said: "I understand, there is no need to say so much."
Almost no one dared to speak like this to Mo Zong, and no one would dislike Mo Zong for talking too much. However, when Mo Zong heard her words, he laughed instead.
"It should have been when I went to Meishan that she got together with this young general from the Southern Dynasty."
Mo Zong thought about it seriously and said with some admiration: "At that time, Lin Yi was just an unknown person with low cultivation level. I couldn't even look at him, so I found some young people in Meishan, but he
None of them are in my sight. To be able to choose Lin Yi as his partner in the Southern Dynasty at that time, Yuan Yan is indeed worthy of respect."
The complex emotions in Helan Heiyun's eyes had completely disappeared. She felt that whether Yuan Yan was worthy of respect was nonsense. For her, Yuan Yan had always been the most difficult opponent. She thought for a while and said: "Can she be respected at that time?"
He was valued by Yuan Yan and even sent his own shadow to his side..."
At this point, she paused and continued: "And even Chen Baowan and Xiao Shufei have an unusual relationship with him. This Lin Yi is indeed unusual."
Mo Zong was silent for a moment and said: "It was my negligence."
Helan Heiyun glanced at him and said in an unusually simple and straightforward manner: "Are you going to kill Yuan Yan?"
"The woman next to Lin Yi is Yuan Yan's shadow, but to the old woman in the Northern Wei Dynasty palace, Yuan Yan is her shadow, her substitute, and her incarnation walking in the Northern Wei Dynasty."
Mo Zong shook his head sarcastically and said: "If I kill Yuan Yan directly, it will be no different from killing her directly in her eyes. She will break up with me at all costs. I can't bear such anger."
Helan Heiyun lowered his head slightly in agreement.
Mo Zong turned his head, looked at the flowing clouds on the horizon, and said calmly: "Yuan Yan is the same as her, the most difficult to deal with, just because of their status, but as long as all their tentacles are cut off, they won't be able to cause much trouble.
of waves.”
Helan Heiyun understood what she should do, but she knew that Mo Zong still had something to say, so she still listened quietly.
"There is no such thing as disappearing into the world suddenly for no reason. There are some outsiders in the newly built temple in the Northern Wei Dynasty. If I guessed correctly, those people are probably from the Southern Dynasties." Demon Sect said calmly: "Those people must die too.
"
Helan Heiyun's expression did not change at all, and he just nodded again.
However, a gratified smile appeared on Mo Zong's face, and he said, "Have you ever heard of the story of the straw that broke the camel's back?"
Helan Heiyun said: "I've heard of it."
"Between me and Jiange, the Emperor of the Southern Dynasty originally had a hard time choosing, but Yuan Yan's arrangement with Lin Yi will become the straw that breaks the camel's back." Mo Zong said: "With the temperament of the Emperor of the Southern Dynasty,
He cannot bear the thought of a general like Lin Yi colluding with Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Northern Wei Dynasty."
"So let Achai Chen do nothing. Whatever he wants, he will be satisfied."
The smile on Mo Zong's face became stronger, but it seemed a little cruel inexplicably, "Dangxiang and Tuguhun don't do anything. The stronger Lin Yi becomes, the heavier this straw will be."
