Just like what Lin Yi and Qi Zhuji mentioned in the dialogue, the Northern Wei Dynasty was indeed very strong at this time.

It was so powerful that all the people of the Southern Dynasty did not feel that they would definitely win the confidence of this war.

Luoyang City in the morning light is bathed in a faint golden light. This Northern Barbarian City, which is somewhat unbearable under the pen of many Southern Dynasty literati who do not leave their homes but rely on imagination to pull their thoughts infinitely. However, its true atmosphere seems to be much more majestic and brilliant than Jiankang.

Luoyang was not a royal city of the northern dynasty before. It was actually very close to the southern border. Before the Northern Wei Dynasty moved its capital to this point, it had always been a very inclusive city.

It embraces the differences between the north and the south, and embraces many people who come from exile in the south, allowing many people who return from studying from the north to the south to show their strength in this city.

Therefore, the styles of many buildings in this heroic city are actually somewhat similar to those of the buildings of the Southern Dynasty.

But in some aspects, this northern royal city still retains its inherent habits.

For example, some powerful houses, including the palaces of the imperial city, are very large.

Too big will actually appear empty.

If you are too empty, you will have enough wealth to fill things in. It will easily add to your own things. If you don’t lose your taste like a nouveau riche, you will not be like a house that lives in people and lose the taste that you should have in your daily life.

However, too big and too empty can sometimes be beneficial.

For example, it will make people feel solemn.

The Empress Dowager of the Northern Wei Dynasty was very large.

Even though Yuan Yan is no longer the little girl who kneeled here and waited for an unknown fate, and even though she has been here countless times, when she stood outside this magnificent hall outside, the hall still gave her a feeling like a huge monster.

Her shadow is still as small as a black, inconspicuous ant under the shadow of this hall.

Faced with the intentional siege and killing of Nantianyuan, Yuan Yan, the eldest princess of the Northern Wei Dynasty who finally escaped from Meishan, came here on the first morning after returning to Luoyang.

"Call the Princess to meet with him!"

A majestic sound came from the depths of the hall, and echoed in the empty hall, hitting the thick walls, and then turned into countless tiny sounds like needles, piercing into her eardrums.

Yuan Yan thanked her for her kindness, lowered her eyebrows and walked into the hall with her eyes down.

Even the voices of the people around the Empress Dowager still seemed majestic to her at this time.

There is a pearl curtain deep in the hall, and the majestic old woman is sitting on the phoenix couch behind the pearl curtain.

The deep bead curtain can deepen this sense of ritual and majesty, making people feel more mysterious, and more importantly, it can make people unable to see the real emotional changes on her face and the traces left by time on her face.

Aging sometimes makes people feel that she is losing her original strength.

"Mother Queen."

Yuan Yan arrived in front of the pearl curtain and Yingying gave a gift.

In the past many years, she has figured out the other person's temperament, and the other person really doesn't like to talk too much.

So before she arrived, the documents had been submitted to what she wanted to state. When she was invited, it means that the old woman had finished reading the documents she wrote last night.

The palace maid who had made a sound and the other palace maids had quietly withdrawn from the hall.

On the couch behind the bead curtain, the old woman also lowered her head abnormally, obviously thinking about something that made her feel a little difficult to do.

"It's not your problem. Before you came back, you had already found out that there was an important figure in the South Heavenly Courtyard, a rebel from our Northern Wei Dynasty." After a dozen breaths in the dead silence, the old woman from Zhulianhou spoke and said the first sentence.

Yuan Yan lowered her head and said nothing.

This sentence responds to her failure in Meishan.

Unable to successfully bring Chen Baowan back, and it led to the death of many powerful Northern Wei practitioners in battle, which was naturally her failure.

However, the old woman's words characterize this matter as not her plan or control mistake.

"We won't check the matters of Lord Demon Sect... but you have to check it."

The old woman then said the second sentence.

She said this very slowly, and even paused, showing that even when she was saying these words, she was hesitating slightly, thinking, and leaving herself time to change her words.

But since she has finished saying this, it is the final result.

Yuan Yan still bowed her head.

The expression on her face did not change at all, but her hands hiding in her sleeves were already tightly clenched.

The meaning of this sentence is difficult for ordinary people to understand.

But the old woman inside knew that she would understand.

We won't check... We are her and the Northern Wei Emperor.

This sentence clearly told her that since many years ago, the Northern Wei Dynasty's use of the Demon Sect has actually been a double-edged sword.

The more you rely on the Demon Sect, the more powerful the Demon Sect is.

To this day, the Northern Wei and Southern Dynasties are inseparable from the people under the Demon Sect and the Demon Sect.

Therefore, even this old woman is still respectfully called Master Demon Sect when she is called.

She could not trust this person in the Demon Sect completely, but in fact she could not trust anyone completely.

But even though she was increasingly worried about the power of the Demon Sect, she and her son still did not dare to take any risk of angering the Demon Sect.

But she was worried about the Demon Sect and didn't want the Demon Sect to be infinitely large.

At this time, I am afraid that in her opinion, the Demon Sect has already had the ability to endanger her son's country.

But she still only dared to let her investigate.

Because she is not among the "we".

She only represents the meaning of the eldest princess of the Northern Wei Dynasty, not the meaning of the royal family.

So even if she angered the Demon Sect, even if something goes wrong, she will be the object she can give up and can be used to calm the Demon Sect's anger.

This may be a very normal thing for this old woman.

She is just the daughter of a shepherd's daughter.

After being recognized and included in the imperial court, she certainly has to repay her kindness and assume the responsibility of protecting the imperial court.

"I will find out."

Yuan Yan's voice rang in this hall.

She would make the old woman feel that she thought so too.

But when she said this, the hand that tightly clasped in her sleeves never let go.

There was a gray stone in her hand.

If this old woman regards her as "we", even if she is an enemy of the Demon Sect, she will pay a heavy price. She will also hand this gray stone over to the old woman as a substitute for her failure in Meishan, and tell her that this is the legendary Jinzhu.

But now, she has changed her mind.

"Be careful."

The sound behind the bead curtain is very gentle.
