Looking at the figure of the Minister of Justice Jiang Wen'an walking away, Jiang Hao frowned slightly, always feeling that this guy came here for a deeper purpose this time.
"It seems that it is not peaceful outside."
Jiang Hao muttered to himself.
However, he was not surprised at all.
Because before this, he was the helmsman of the ship of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It can be said that few people know the complex situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty better than him.
As a behemoth dominating the fertile land of the Central Plains, the Great Zhou Dynasty not only has a vast territory, but also has hundreds of millions of people, and there are countless powerful people of all kinds.
In this vast territory, there are ancient families with thousands of years of inheritance, emerging noble families with wealth comparable to that of a country, sects with profound cultural heritage, border generals and marquises, ambitious princes of the royal family, and forces like the Black Witch Cult stirring up trouble in secret...
There are so many forces, big and small, but they do not exist alone, but are interdependent. The relationship between various interest groups is intricate, and it can be said that one hair can move the whole body.
Even with Jiang Hao's prestige and skills at the beginning, he was carefully maintaining the balance of the situation while slowly changing it in the way of boiling a frog in warm water.
In this process, he can be said to have worked day and night, and was worried about it, which was far from being as easy as outsiders imagined.
"If Ji Luoyao thinks it's really that easy to manage a country, then she's probably wrong."
"She wants to be the only empress, but it's not that simple... At least judging from Jiang Wen'an's performance, I'm afraid not everyone is willing to be her yes-man..."
"Being too clever and calculating may not be a good thing sometimes."
Jiang Hao looked calm. Although he had some guesses in his mind, it seemed to him to be just a trivial matter.
It doesn't concern me, so I'll just ignore it.
Anyway, he is now far away from the court, and he doesn't care about politics. Even if the sky falls, it has nothing to do with him.
As for the empress Ji Luoyao, as the saying goes, I watched her build a tall building, I watched her entertain guests, and I watched her building collapse...
"For me, I just need to lie down and wait slowly."
Thinking so in his heart, Jiang Hao quickly took out two pills.
One foundation-building pill and one spirit-nourishing pill.
Foundation-building pills can help build a supreme foundation.
The Yang Shen Pill can nourish and strengthen the three souls and seven spirits.
The effect is better when the two pills are taken together.
In the outside world, both the Foundation Building Pill and the Yang Shen Pill are priceless top-grade treasure pills. Even high-ranking officials and nobles can hardly get one.
But for Jiang Hao, it seems to be just an ordinary thing that is not worth mentioning.
He casually threw the two pills into his mouth, and then he lay down lazily.
Then the mysterious and extraordinary human emperor body was revealed. There was no need for him to actively practice. The human emperor body operated spontaneously.
His body seemed to have turned into a blazing flame furnace, quickly absorbing the rolling medicinal power transformed by the two treasure pills.
All the surging medicinal power was not wasted at all, and all was absorbed cleanly.
Continuously nourishing his flesh, blood, bones, and internal organs, driving his physical fitness to improve rapidly.
He really got stronger even when lying down.
Time unknowingly came to the evening.
…
“Da Da Da——”
A low sound of footsteps suddenly sounded.
Especially in the silent late night, on the eighteenth floor of the prison where no one was around, the sudden sound of footsteps seemed particularly abrupt.
After Jiang Hao merged with the human emperor body, his body changed almost every day. Not only did he become more sharp-eyed and sharp-eared, but his perception ability was also far beyond the average level.
He noticed it almost immediately, opened his eyes suddenly, and a hint of suspicion flashed in his dark pupils.
Although he had never lived in the prison before, he knew that the prison was extremely strictly managed, especially the eighteenth floor of the prison, which was the top priority.
In theory, except for the prison guards who were responsible for three meals a day, no one else would come here.
And even if the prison guards who were responsible for three meals a day came here at a fixed time every day.
There was no corresponding authority at other times, let alone appearing in the middle of the night.
"Could it be that Jiang Wen'an came here again in the middle of the night?"
Jiang Hao secretly guessed in his heart that apart from the Minister of Justice Jiang Wen'an who used his power to visit during the day, he could not think of anyone else for a while.
"Crack, crack--"
At this time, the chains were removed and the heavy door was pushed open from the outside.
A gust of wind blew in, and the candlelight on the walls around the cell swayed, like countlessThe ghost was waving its claws and fangs.
Jiang Hao looked closely, and the first thing that caught his eye was a tall figure covered in a black robe.
"It's not Jiang Wen'an!"
From the other party's body shape, Jiang Hao immediately denied his guess.
However, although the visitor was tall, his footsteps were very light.
If it weren't for the special environment here and Jiang Hao's excellent hearing, he wouldn't even be able to hear his footsteps.
Jiang Hao's heart trembled, and he immediately understood that the other party was definitely not an ordinary person.
"I have always wanted to meet the Duke of Weiguo, but unfortunately I have never had the chance. Fortunately, today I finally got my wish."
The visitor stood in front of Jiang Hao's cell door without saying a word. After a long while, he finally spoke softly.
Seeing this, Jiang Hao's eyes became more suspicious, and he asked calmly: "What's your name?"
"Heh--" The man chuckled, then slowly took off his hood, looked at Jiang Hao and asked with a half-smile: "Do you know me, Duke Wei?"
After he took off his hood, a serious old man's face appeared in front of Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao frowned slightly.
He always felt that the other person's face was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while.
Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed through his mind, and Jiang Hao couldn't help but think of someone, and almost blurted out: "Are you... the Archbishop of the Black Witch Cult?"
Although he was asking, Jiang Hao's tone was very sure.
In fact, Jiang Hao had never seen the Archbishop of the Black Witch Cult, but he had seen the portrait of the Archbishop of the Black Witch Cult.
After all, the other party's arrest warrant and even the order to encircle and suppress the Black Witch Cult were issued by him personally.
Most of the assassins from the Black Witch Cult who have been coming in droves over the years were sent by the Archbishop of the Black Witch Cult.
Therefore, although he was not familiar with the Archbishop of the Black Witch Cult, he was definitely not unfamiliar with him.
However, Jiang Hao never expected that the two people who had been fighting each other for many years would meet in this prison at this time.
Thinking of the Archbishop of the Black Witch Cult's fierce reputation in the world, and the grievances between himself and the Black Witch Cult, Jiang Hao understood the other party's intentions without the other party saying anything.
The Archbishop of the Black Witch Cult was naturally not a person with a false reputation. He was keenly aware of the change in Jiang Hao's expression and he laughed immediately.
And the laughter became louder and more arrogant.
"It seems that I don't need to say anything. Duke Weiguo should have guessed my intention."
"According to the feud between us, I should cut you into pieces and scatter your bones and ashes, but considering that Duke Weiguo is also a person of great stature, I am willing to give you a quick death. Why don't you choose a way to die yourself."
"Do you want a three-foot white silk or a cup of poisoned wine? Or, I can personally chop off your head. Don't worry, I will move quickly and it will not be painful at all..."
As he spoke, the Archbishop of the Black Witch Cult walked towards Jiang Hao step by step with a murderous look on his face.
