If Yu Xiang had known earlier that Shen Xihe would have such a brilliant idea, he would have been reluctant to sacrifice his life and would have blamed everything on Xiao Changyan.
He was captured by Shen Yun'an, wasn't it because Xiao Changyan didn't believe his information? The manpower sent to him was not enough, and it was precisely because of his capture that it basically proved that he was not in cahoots with Shen Yun'an.
As for how Shen Yun'an obtained the military tokens and secret codes and mobilized official ships to confuse Xiao Changfeng, these are not things that he, a captive, should understand. If you have the guts, go ask Shen Yun'an. The most he is guilty of is dereliction of duty, and most of the responsibility for this dereliction of duty lies with Xiao Changyan.
"Yu Xiang is hateful, but I am a man of my words. I said that as long as he changes sides, I will give him a way out and I will not destroy the bridge after crossing it." Shen Xihe said seriously.
Yu Xiang was not a good person, and he deserved to die. But so what? What she promised was what she promised. She would not break her promise just because the other person was someone who deserved death.
"Yo yo, these are the words of a strong man..." Xiao Huayong's eyes were full of smiles.
Because for someone like Yu Xiang, it would be easy for her to take his life if she really wanted to, so she didn't care about those opportunities to kill Yu Xiang.
It should be said that even if it was not Yu Xiang, but someone else who was unfathomable, she would probably do the same, and would not burn bridges after crossing them or change her mind every day.
"But his death has brought a lot of benefits." Shen Xihe glanced at Xiao Huayong.
Now all the blame lies with Xiao Changyan. Faced with the ironclad evidence, he has no way to defend himself.
When Your Majesty receives the letter from "Yu Xiang" before the incident in the hands of the Jiannan Jiedushi, he will question Xiao Changyan why he did not believe Yu Xiang
Could Xiao Changyan say that he had been eavesdropping on Shen Yun'an's every move because there was someone around him who knew how to capture souls
Of course not!
Because it would be useless to say it, it would only show that he was even more incompetent. His soul-stealing technique, which he was so proud of and had never failed before, just became a blade that stabbed back into his body this time!
Xiao Changyan was completely ruined this time.
He is responsible for His Majesty's wrath, the court's anger, and the lives of thousands of elite soldiers who died in the rivers!
"When a person has a powerful weapon, he should not take advantage of it." Xiao Huayong sighed softly.
Xiao Changyan lost because he relied too much on and believed in his soul-stealing technique, thinking that it was the key to victory. Otherwise, with his sharpness and wit, he would never have been so easy to put all his eggs in one basket and believe what Shen Yun'an asked Mo Yao to convey.
"The method to break this soul-stealing spell can only be done by the person who casts it. Because the objects that the spell relies on are so strange, even people who understand the spell find it difficult to figure it out."
Shen Xihe went to great lengths this time because he still wanted to understand the mysterious soul-stealing technique. Xiao Changyan's staff fell into Shen Yun'an's hands and were tortured at the time, and Mo Yao's technique was broken.
As for how to restrain the soul-stealing technique, he told Shen Xihe everything he knew, but the result did not satisfy him.
"You are worried about..." Xiao Huayong looked down at Shen Xihe, "Me?"
"Yes." Shen Xihe nodded, "You once told me that you were bewitched when you were young. King Jing was younger than you at that time, so it is impossible that he was the one who interfered.
