Chapter 681

Hearing Li Tai's question, Qin Mu smiled.

This little fatty actually wanted to keep him?

Dreaming?

"This poor Daoist wanders the four corners of the earth and cannot be constrained. If fate allows, we will meet again."

Declining Li Tai's invitation, Qin Mu prepared to leave.

Li Tai looked regretful and called out to keep him.

"Daoist, please stay!"

Hurrying two steps to Qin Mu's side, he bowed and saluted.

This was the Prince of Wei's order.

"The Daoist said I would face a bloody disaster; where does this disaster come from, and how should I avoid it?"

When Qin Mu first entered the Prince of Wei's mansion, he had indeed said he would face a bloody disaster.

But that was just to scare Li Tai.

After talking for so long, Qin Mu had long forgotten about it.

Unexpectedly, the little fatty Li Tai had taken it to heart.

He was truly worried about facing a bloody disaster!

Qin Mu stroked his fake beard, feigning a profound appearance.

"Actually, it's nothing; you are plotting to harm your own brother behind his back, so you will surely face heavenly retribution!" Qin Mu's tone was relaxed, but these words made Li Tai's heart jump with fright.

This was exactly what he was most worried about!

If he didn't plot against Li Ke, who knew if he would plot against him in the future?

Being in the royal family, many things were beyond one's control.

Li Tai worriedly tugged at Qin Mu's sleeve.

"But the action orders have already been sent out; I'm afraid it's too late to withdraw them. Daoist, is there any way you can save me?"

Qin Mu raised his hand, pretending to pinch his fingers and calculate.

Then he spoke.

"Resolving it is quite simple. Within these few days, you must kill someone with your own hands and be stained with the aura of blood; naturally, you can avoid the bloody disaster." Li Tai was overjoyed upon hearing there was a way to resolve it.

He was the Prince of Wei; wasn't killing someone simple?

"Someone, bring one thousand taels of silver and give it to the Daoist for travel expenses!"

Li Tai was very grateful to this Daoist who had helped him solve some problems.

Sending silver wasn't enough; he also took out a token of the Prince of Wei's mansion and gave it to Qin Mu.

"Daoist, this is a mere trifle, not worth mentioning. Keep this token well; in the future, if you want to come to the Prince of Wei's mansion, you can come and go freely."

"This is the highest-level golden token. If you see people from the Prince of Wei's mansion outside, you can use this token to issue orders directly. It is just as if I had issued the order myself!" Qin Mu hadn't been interested in this broken token originally.

He probably wouldn't come to the Prince of Wei's mansion again in the future.

Moreover, if he wanted to enter the Prince of Wei's mansion, that bunch of guards couldn't stop him anyway.

But upon hearing the last sentence, Qin Mu changed his mind.

In the future, if there was an opportunity, he could use this token to directly command the people of the Prince of Wei's mansion.

Many times, he could avoid using Great Qin secret agents.

This function was quite good!

Qin Mu had obtained quite a bit of valuable intelligence in the Prince of Wei's mansion.

After leaving the Prince of Wei's mansion, he immediately instructed Wei Zhongxian.

"Send someone to deliver a letter to Zheng Chenggong of the Sea Legion, and have him come up with a plan to clear out the pirates."

Just now, he learned from Li Tai that they were actually colluding with pirates.

This made Qin Mu somewhat angry.

Although the number of pirates wasn't large, once they started causing trouble, they were very difficult to defend against along the long coastline. Moreover, the targets of the pirates' harm were not just sea merchant fleets, but also the common people along the coast.

These bandits must be cleared out!

Otherwise, the common people couldn't live their lives in peace!

Judging from Li Tai's words, Zhangsun Wuji's departure from Jin Ling was likely to go and secretly negotiate with those pirates.

Wei Zhongxian also realized the harm of this matter.

He asked.

"Emperor, the sea is vast; how can we completely clear out these pirates?"

The sea is not like land, where there are roads, passes, and places to hold, and where one can be stationed at a certain point for a long time.

In the middle of the sea, only islands with fresh water can become stations.

Wanting to blockade it is truly not easy.

This problem, even if Zheng Chenggong came, couldn't be solved.

Wei Zhongxian's question was exactly what he was asking on behalf of Zheng Chenggong.
