Jiang Zishu is the lord of the entire Ming City. Ming City is different from Jiutian City. Although Jiutian City also has government offices, they are only used to deal with civilian disputes. For the cultivators of Jiutian City, government offices are just decorations.
But Mingcheng is different. Four or five hundred years ago, Mingcheng was actually called Jiang Mingcheng, and Jiang Zishu’s ancestor called himself Jiang Taigong. At that time, even the martial arts academy had to give Jiang Taigong some face.
The Jiang family was not originally part of Jiang Mingcheng, but his contribution to Jiang Mingcheng was quite great. It can be said that if there were no Jiang family, the entire Jiang Mingcheng would still be a ruin today. Therefore, Jiang Taigong and even his wife and children were highly respected at that time.
Not only that, Jiang Taigong also led the people of Jiangming City to repair the city, develop the economy, reorganize the military, and suppress the bandits, making the entire Jiangming City stable and peaceful. The people of Jiangming City were also very grateful. Not only did they change the name of the city from "Mingcheng" to "Jiangmingcheng", they also kept asking Jiang Taigong to become the lord of the city, and Jiang Taigong gladly accepted.
Some people even spontaneously carved a huge statue for Jiang Taigong, which is still placed in the center of the city. No matter how windy and rainy it is, Jiang Taigong's heroic appearance has not been erased in the slightest.
However, Jiang Taigong still made a big mistake, that is, not everyone will be nice to you if you are nice to them.
Jiang Taigong's actions were naturally respected and admired by many people, but there was one group of people who were some exceptions, and that was the Wei family, the original landowner of Jiang Mingcheng. For the Wei family, Jiang Taigong's arrival directly affected the interests of their entire family, so they naturally resented Jiang Taigong.
They did not dare to express this kind of resentment when Jiang Taigong was still alive, but later when Jiang Taigong passed away and the whole country was mourning, the Wei family revealed their wolfish ambitions for the first time.
However, the Jiang family’s reputation in Jiang Mingcheng was so great that even though the Wei family had evil ambitions, they did not dare to go too far and could only test the Jiang family’s bottom line step by step.
A hundred years later, everyone began to forget Jiang Taigong's contribution to the entire Jiangming City. However, gratitude can be forgotten, but hatred is hard to forget. Time not only did not erase the hatred of the Wei family towards Jiang Taigong, but it was deeply passed on to the younger generations.
The sudden all-round attack by the Wei family on the Jiang family caught the Jiang family off guard, but fortunately the person in charge of the Jiang family at that time was not a good-for-nothing and reacted quickly. However, it still failed to curb the growth of the Wei family's power, and the Wei family became the second largest family in Jiangming City.
After all, the Wei family is a family with stronger cohesion, so gradually the Wei family's popularity in Jiang Mingcheng surpassed that of the Jiang family. It was also a hundred years ago that the Wei family changed Jiang Mingcheng back to "Mingcheng", and the Jiang family was helpless.
Although all the cultivators and common people in the city sighed, no one dared to say anything. The Wei family even wanted to ban the Jiang family directly, but the Jiang family still had a rich foundation, and each generation of Jiang family descendants was born a hero, so the Wei family still did not get any more benefits.
Today, the person in charge of the Jiang family, that is, the lord of Mingcheng, is Jiang Zishu. Jiang Zishu has been worried all day in his study recently, and only his beloved little daughter can make him feel better.
"City Lord Jiang, why are you so worried here?"
Jiang Zishu was just feeling a little tired and wanted to rest here for a while when he was suddenly awakened by a voice.
"who!"
Jiang Zishu looked up and found that there was a masked man standing in his study. Although the man was wearing a mask, Jiang Zishu could roughly judge from his voice and body shape that he was a teenager.
However, when he looked at the person in front of him, he found that there was not a trace of mysterious power on this person. Jiang Zishu naturally did not believe that such a person who could come to his City Lord's Mansion and stand in front of him without being noticed would be an ordinary person. For a moment, he was a little unsure.
But he estimated that the person in front of him should have no ill will towards him, otherwise he would not have disturbed him. Wouldn't it be better to attack him directly
"Mo Wen."
The mysterious man was naturally Long Xiangtian. At this time, Long Xiangtian wore a mask because he didn't want to reveal his identity. Since he didn't want to reveal his identity, how could he tell the truth to Jiang Zishu? Long Xiangtian directly used the name he had used to deal with Cui Chen and the others.
"Mo Wen? You came to my study room so late at night without informing me. I'm afraid that's a little inappropriate."
Jiang Zishu repeated the name Long Xiangtian gave him, but he didn't have that person in mind. But regardless of whether the name was true or not, after all, Long Xiangtian had barged into his study without permission, so he was naturally a little unhappy.
"It is I who was foolish." Long Xiangtian smiled slightly, but he did not apologize at all: "But City Lord Jiang, I am here to tell you the good news this time."
"What good news?"
Although Jiang Zishu was somewhat puzzled by Long Xiangtian's arrival, he still planned to delay for a while. Anyway, as long as there was any movement on his side, Uncle Cang would definitely be the first to come.
"Of course, congratulations to City Lord Jiang for quelling the rebellion and bringing stability to the people of Jiang Mingcheng." Long Xiangtian specifically mentioned Jiang Mingcheng instead of Mingcheng. He believed that as long as City Lord Jiang was not a fool, he would understand what he meant.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Zishu's face darkened and he said to Long Xiangtian: "It's ridiculous. My Mingcheng is a peaceful place. How can there be a rebel party?"
"Hahaha, City Lord Jiang, I came here with sincerity, but you don't seem to be willing to be honest with me." Long Xiangtian burst into laughter immediately after hearing Jiang Zishu's words, but his voice was changed by his profound power, as if he was an old man in his twilight years: "Forget it, just consider this as my gift to you, and you will believe me tomorrow."
Long Xiangtian threw out several jade cards, which were the identity cards of Wei Lang and the other two. After throwing out the jade cards, Long Xiangtian left directly without giving Jiang Zishu any chance to check.
Long Xiangtian knew that Jiang Zishu didn't believe what he said. Although these tokens would make him believe it a little, it was still impossible for Jiang Zishu to cooperate with him openly.
And getting Jiang Zishu to believe in himself would probably take up a lot of time, and Long Xiangtian didn't have that much time. In that case, Long Xiangtian would force him to cooperate with him.
Jiang Zishu checked the token that Long Xiangtian handed to him, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face. Looking at Long Xiangtian's departing back, his heart became much heavier.
