Jiang Zhou was startled: "Who is he?"

The patrolling demon guard hurriedly said: "He is an old man. He was originally the sword wielder in the Wuji Abyss. The Blood-armored General is not here, and his subordinates do not know his specific identity."

In the depths of the Sword Prison, no matter whether it is the imprisoned demon or the sword holder, only the blood-armored man knows the details, and the others have no idea at all.

Old man? Sword wielder?

He has been in the Sword Prison for a long time, and there are only a few people who can wield swords in the Wuji Abyss, so it is not difficult to guess.

Jiang Zhou thought for a moment and roughly knew who it was.

He said: "Lead the way."

Soon, they came to the cave where the sword holder was imprisoned.

The patrolling demon guard cupped his fists and said, "Sir, I'll take my leave first."

"Go ahead."

Jiang Zhou waved his hand, and after he left, he looked at the figure in the cave.

"I wonder why you want to see Jiang?"

"Prefect Shi."

The person in the cave is indeed the old Confucian who held the sword together several times, the real Jiangdu Governor, Shi Mibei.

The gray-haired Shi Mibei sat cross-legged in the cave and raised his head: "It seems that He Chongtian really thinks highly of you. He has indeed told you my identity."

Jiang Zhou walked in, sat down next to him, and then said:

"It turned out that Tai Tai was acquainted with Brother He?"

Shi Mi smiled sadly and said, "Thanks to him, I can safely escape here."

Jiang Zhou said: "What does Governor Shi mean by this?"

Shi Mi sadly shook his head and sighed: "I am just a first-class prisoner now, and I am no longer a prefect."

Jiang Zhou smiled and said: "That's not necessarily the case. Jiang said that the old man is the governor of Jiangdu, so the old man is the governor of Jiangdu. He was before and he is now."

"Oh? You sound quite loud."

Shi Mibei was a little surprised, then he thought deeply for a moment and then said, "Didn't Jiang Chu invade Jiangdu?"

As soon as the words came out, he saw him shaking his head and denying himself: "No, they have been planning for so long. They should have taken action long ago. If they delay it any longer, the other high-ranking families in the city will find out the clues and will not let them succeed easily."

"With the false governor and the Changle party cooperating with each other, with Jiang Chu's ability, it is impossible not to attack Jiangdu. If there is no accident, the entire territory of Yangzhou may not be protected."

"Since you have such confidence to say this, do you think you are the one who caused the accident?"

Shi Mibei looked at Jiang Zhou with a look of surprise on his face: "You blocked the Chu army and saved Jiangdu?"

Changle Party?

Jiang Zhou muttered in his heart, it seemed that there was something else going on.

His mind was spinning, and he said with a smile on his face: "Prefect Shi is indeed a virtuous person in this world. He is thousands of feet underground, and his eyes cannot see five feet in front of him, but he has a clear understanding of the world's affairs."

"However, Governor Shi still guessed wrong. Nan Chu has indeed captured Jiangdu. Fortunately, King Xiang and General Yuan responded in time and did not allow Nan Chu to occupy Yangzhou."

Jiang Zhou paused and said sternly to Shi Mibei: "Now that Jiangdu City has been recovered, Jiang wanted to meet the prefect when he came here, and asked Grandmaster Shi to come out and regain control of Jiangdu."

Shi Mibei was noncommittal, but his eyes were curious: "I am very curious, how did you take back Jiangdu from Jiang Chu?"

Although Jiang Zhou did not take any credit for himself, he was already convinced that Jiangdu was responsible for regaining Jiangdu.

Jiang Zhou smiled and said: "I haven't lost any skills. It's just a common man's bravery. He rushed into the Chu Palace in Yingdu and made a bet with Jiang Chu."

"Taking Jiangdu as the bet, Jiang won by luck."

Shi Mibei saw that he spoke in an understatement, but knew that it was dangerous, and he was even more amazed in his heart.

This kind of thing can no longer be described as dangerous, it is simply a fantasy.

Even now, Shi Mibei is still hesitant and has some reservations about Jiang Zhou's words, but he has not fully believed them.

"What a terrifying future life."

Shi Mibei sighed half-seriously, but did not ask further questions about the matter, but smiled and said:

"You asked me to go out, but you want me to deal with the officials sent by the court for you?"

Jiang Zhou didn't hide it and said with a smile: "Prefect Shi doesn't want to?"

Shi Mibei's face suddenly became solemn and his eyes gleamed coldly: "I have read the books of saints and sages to nourish my spirit. I have been honest and upright throughout my life. I have worked hard every day for decades and have never dared to slack off. I am just afraid of betraying the emperor's favor."

"Now, you actually want me to help you do something treacherous?"

Jiang Zhou didn't take his sudden question seriously. He exhaled, shook his head and smiled:

"Sir, there is no sky above, no earth below, and no third person, so there is no need to be so careful about testing."

Shi Mibei's face that had been cold and solemn just now suddenly showed a smile: "I have been cultivating this aura of awe in my chest for decades. Even a real person from Xuanmen or a Buddhist sect would reveal his true feelings unexpectedly."

"You, a junior, don't even have a breath. If you are not a treacherous and evil person but seem to be loyal and good, or you are open-minded and have no shame,"

"No matter who he is, he is enough to dominate the world."

Jiang Zhou smiled and said: "Sir, you are exaggerating. Jiang is just a casual cultivator. He only entered the public service for convenience. After all, the public service is easy to practice."

"Is Gongmen good at practicing?"

Shi Mibei was startled for a moment, then laughed: "What you said is quite new. All the monks in the world are afraid of the imperial court like a snake and a scorpion, and they avoid it for fear of not being able to reach it. You are doing the opposite?"

He sighed again: "But it's true to say so, but why don't those people understand such a simple truth, and they are not as good as you, a junior?"

Jiang Zhou smiled and said: "It's not that I don't understand, it's just that Jiang is not greedy and only wants what he deserves, but they just want more."

Shi Mibei nodded and said, "You are quite perceptive at such a young age."

After a pause, he suddenly said, "I want to ask you again, do you really have no ambition to aspire to the throne?"

Jiang Zhou didn't answer but asked: "Do you think I have it?"

Shi Mibei shook his head: "It's not like that."

Jiang Zhou smiled and said: "It seems that the boss still has doubts in his heart. Then he might as well follow Jiang out and regain control of Jiangdu. It is also good to remind Jiang from time to time."

"It's not impossible to help you stabilize Jiangdu."

Jiang Zhou wanted to ask Shi Mibei to be the governor, but Shi Mibei asked him to help him instead. Apparently he had a very thorough understanding of the situation and human nature.

Shi Mi said sadly and solemnly: "However, I still want to ask you something."

Jiang Zhou smiled and said, "Is this why you invited Jiang to meet me here?"

Shi Mibei nodded and said: "Not bad."

Jiang Zhou stretched out his hand and said, "Please tell me."

Shi Mi sadly said: "Do you know why I am here?"

Jiang Zhou said: "With your master's ability, if you don't want to, no one can lock you here without knowing it. In this case, it is your own choice, master."

"Hehehe."

Shi Mi smiled sadly and said: "The courage, determination, and wisdom are all extraordinary."

He admired and then said: "Yes, I did hide here by myself."

Jiang Zhou was surprised and said: "Hide?"

Immediately I thought of the word he just said, and couldn't help but say: "Changle Party?"

Shi Mibei nodded and said, "That's the Changle Party."

Jiang Zhou said: "Is this Changle Party related to the current Princess Changle? Did the boss offend the princess?"

"I have lived for most of my life and am not even afraid of death. Why are I afraid of offending the princess?"

Shi Mi smiled sadly and said: "It's just that I have something more important than this old life in my hands, so I can't die yet."

Jiang Zhou couldn't help but asked curiously: "What is it?"

"This is what I want to ask you."

Shi Mibei did not answer and asked instead: "If you are made an enemy of the current Princess Changle..."
