"If you were Jiang Wang, what would you do?"
In the bamboo house, Granny Bizhu was tearing small pieces of meat to feed the fishes while answering her own question.
"Unless Qi's army comes, it's impossible to break out of the prison and rescue the prisoner. He has seen the level of defense of the Sea Prison, so he won't come to court death. "
The bloody pieces of meat fell into the fish tank and were eaten up in an instant. Not even the slightest bit of blood was left.
"So he actually has no choice but to rely on the power figure inside the Fishing Sea Tower, which is me. He wants to use me to break the rules of the sea sacrifice. That's why he tried to contact me again and again. "
"In Qi's eyes, he's just a small baron with a fief of a town. He doesn't have much to give. But he and Chung Geng Sheng of the Junggenjia are sworn friends. How many resources can Chung Geng Sheng mobilize? How much will the Junggenjia be willing to pay for this? This is the key to the problem. "
Granny Bizhu continued, "But this guy's attitude is also very clear. He's willing to save Bi Qiong at any cost. But if he can't save her, he only wants Bi Qiong to have a comfortable life. The premise of this attitude is that he knows it's almost impossible to do this. So I should give him some hope. "
Her skinny fingers slowly tore the fresh meat, and the blood naturally dyed her palms red.
But she didn't care.
"In the world, 'love' is the only word that is difficult to understand. But young people can't understand it and are often trapped in it. He must have fallen in love with Bi Qiong, so he's doing this without asking for anything in return. As long as I give him some hope, he'll work hard to push it. "
As Granny Bizhu spoke, she took out a piece of meat the size of two adult fists from the bamboo basket next to her and threw it into the water.
"In fact, perhaps his greatest value is himself. After all, even Hai Zongming is very greedy for him, "she added.
At the bottom of the huge fish tank, a five-colored fish suddenly jumped out from the lush aquatic plants.
Red, black, yellow, green, and blue. The five different colors of stripes were tightly intertwined, like a gorgeous coat wrapping around it.
Its body was only three fingers long and two fingers wide. It looked harmless to humans and animals.
However, as soon as it leaped out, the school of fish that had gathered together just now immediately scattered in all directions, as if they were fleeing for their lives.
It didn't chase after them. Instead, it picked up the piece of meat that had fallen into the water and began to chew.
Its body was very small, but its eating speed was very fast. In less than three breaths, it had completely devoured the meat that was much larger than its body.
Granny Bizhu dipped her hand into the water, and the five-colored fish swam up and slowly sucked her finger, sucking the blood away.
Granny Bizhu just sighed and said, "She's a good child."
He didn't know if he was talking about this five-colored fish or Zhu Biqiong.
…
…
Great Illusionary Land, Star River Pavilion.
Chung Geng Sheng gently rubbed his forehead. "Is she still saying the same thing?"
"Yes." Jiang Wang sighed.
During this period of time, he had been in frequent contact with Chung Geng Sheng through letters. Occasionally, when the letters were not enough to make things clear, they would take the effort to meet in the Star River Pavilion.
Not long after the trip to the Sea Prison, Granny Bizhu proposed a way to rescue Zhu Biqiong.
She said that she would propose it during the sea sacrifice and ask for the sect's forgiveness. However, her strength alone was not enough to influence the sea sacrifice. Therefore, she needed others to respond.
Granny Bizhu would use her connections to ask for help from her allies. At the same time, she would ask Jiang Wang to help as much as possible. The first thing she did was to persuade Elder Hai Jingping of the Fishing Sea Tower.
On the surface, the sea sacrifice at the Tianya Stage was presided over by Spiritual Master Chong Guang, the first Elder of the Fishing Sea Tower.
However, the specific matters of the sea sacrifice were actually handled by four Elders with real power. One middle-level Elder and three lower-level Elders.
Hai Jingping was the only middle-level Elder among them, and he was a Divine Descent Stage powerhouse.
"Interesting." Chung Geng Sheng had a good understanding of the situation in the offshore islands during this period of time, so he asked, "Do you remember the true disciple of the Fishing Sea Tower who was jealous of Xu Gaogao?"
"Of course, it's only been a few days," Jiang Wang said. "His name is Yangliu, and he's a little feminine. At present, he seems to be a good person. "
"Yangliu's Master is Hai Jingping!" Chung Geng Sheng said.
"Wait." Jiang Wang frowned. "This Hai Jingping has nothing to do with Hai Zongming, right?"
"They just have the same surname, and there's no friendship between them. Even if that old woman wanted to bury you, she wouldn't have dug such an obvious trap. However … "
Chung Geng Sheng said, "This means that she knows your whereabouts very well, and knows that you and Yangliu have interacted before. She also has a rough idea of my Junggenjia's ability to gather intelligence on the sea. "
He said self-deprecatingly, "I didn't overestimate her."
Because of the relationship between Hai Jingping and Yangliu, and even Hai Zongming, this kind of information was not difficult for any force that had roots in the sea, and Neverwinter Island was no exception. However, the Junggenjia could not do anything about the more secretive information inside the Fishing Sea Tower.
"I didn't try to hide it," Jiang Wang said.
"Fortunately, you brought Jiang Wuyou with you," Chung Geng Sheng said slowly, "I talked to Palace Master Huaying and got the information from her. Granny Bizhu also had the opportunity to be in charge of the specific affairs of this sea festival, but she refused. The reason was to avoid suspicion. "
Jiang Wuyou's foundation was in the military, and he went straight to Jueming Island as soon as he went out to sea, so he naturally had some influence on the sea, and even … he could get the internal information of the Fishing Sea Tower.
The decision-making of an Elder with real power like Granny Bizhu was not something that could be leaked by an ordinary source of information.
"What does Granny Bizhu want to do?" Jiang Wang asked.
Chung Geng Sheng said, "What she wants to do isn't the most important thing. The most important thing is, do you still have hope for her? "
"Zhu Biqiong trusted her so much, and was put in prison because of her. She actually thinks that she has wronged her. I can't help but think, is she actually a good master, and we actually misunderstood her? "
Jiang Wang said, his eyelids drooping slightly. "Okay, I admit it. The longer I stay in the offshore islands, the more I know the horror of the Fishing Sea Tower, and the more I know how impossible it is for me to challenge it. It's fine if I'm alone, but now that I've dragged you all into it, I'm worried that I'll be a burden to you. I can't help but have some weak fantasies that the Fishing Sea Tower will give in. "
"I treated her well in the past, but it doesn't mean I'll treat her well forever. Is it more important to be a good master, or to have a good future for yourself? That old woman has her own considerations on this point. "
Chung Geng Sheng didn't judge his so-called 'fantasies', but once again determined Granny Bizhu's character. Then he said, "We're your help, not your burden. If we're reduced to the point where we need you to worry about us, wouldn't Jiang Wuyou and I be too much of a failure? The Junggenjia family has two marquises, and I've been noble for generations. I'm now ahead of Jung Genzun in the line of succession. Jiang Wuyou is the Master of Huaying Palace, and he may be in charge of the most powerful force in the world in the future. What makes you think that we'll be dragged down by you? "
He stared at Jiang Wang with a hint of anger in his eyes. "You should think more about yourself. Jiang Wuyou and I will at least take a few steps back in the struggle for power, but you, Jiang Qingyang! If you encounter the worst situation, you'll die! "
