Zhang Fu led the remaining subordinates to leave Baihua Mountain and sailed deeper into the sea.

In the temple in Baihua Mountain, Li Zhongze saw the bodies.

"I think, even if I don't tell you, you should know who the target of these killers should be?"

Bai Shier looked at him with a deep meaning, his mouth curled up slightly, and asked with a hint of mocking.

Li Zhongze didn't speak, but nodded with an ugly expression.

In fact, when he was caught by Bai Shier and learned about his identity as the Jinyiwei, he knew that this time he was afraid that it would not be so easy to escape this disaster.

But he still had a last illusion in his heart, that was, he hoped that Zhang Fu could use the identity of Zhang Bin, the Minister of War, to suppress Bai Shier and release him.

But now, the bodies of several killers appeared in front of him, and the last slightest fantasy in his heart was finally shattered.

"Since that's the case, then you should reveal all the things you haven't finished, right?"

Bai Shier's eyes firmly locked on Li Zhongze and said in a deep voice.

"You should be very clear that if you want to survive, this is the only way for you to go."

"How can I know that you won't throw it away like that Zhang Fu after squeezing my worth?"

Although he knew that what Bai Shier said was not false and he had only one way to go, Li Zhongze still didn't want to speak so easily.

He knew in his heart that the secrets that were still hidden in his heart were the reason why Zhang Fu killed him, but in the same way, this was the last straw he could use to protect his safety.

If he just reveals it so easily, he will really become a useless garbage that may be thrown away at any time.

So, before that, he must use these secrets to exchange for himself the security that is sufficient to save his life.

"Do you think you are qualified to negotiate with me now?"

Bai Shier sneered, his face full of disdain for Li Zhongze's words.

"Maybe I can't hold on for much time, but now, isn't time the most important thing to you?"

But Li Zhongze laughed confidently.

"Zhang Fu has already escaped, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have set up such a big formation for me, right?"

"Smack it."

Bai Shier put away the disdain on his face and applauded Li Zhongze with admiration.

"Yes, you're a smart person. Tell me, what do you want?"

"Haha, this time I offended Shan Liwen and betrayed Zhang Fu. Apart from living, would I dare to ask for anything else?"

The smile on Li Zhongze's face was bitter, he sighed softly, and said with a little depressed look.

"I can arrange a boat to take you away. As for the destination, you can choose your own."

"I will not leave here until Zhang Fu is caught."

Li Zhongze shook his head gently and rejected Bai Shier's arrangement.

"Are you worried that Zhang Fu will intercept you at sea?"

Bai Shier could not help but frown when he heard the meaning of Li Zhongze's words.

Although he had guessed that there might be trouble after Zhang Fu escaped, he never thought that things would be so difficult.

"Before Taizu drove away the remnants of the previous dynasty, pirates occupied overseas islands and plundered nearby prefectures. Although the situation has improved a lot after the sea ban was issued, many pirates have been in chaos over the past century."

Instead of answering Bai Shier's question, Li Zhongze talked to him about the pirates who had plundered the coast for a hundred years.

"How dare Zhang Fu collude with these pirates?"

Bai Shier immediately understood what Li Zhongze meant, and there was a hint of shock on his face, but more of it was still frowning and thinking.

"How do you think the wealth you plundered by these pirates is changed into clothes, food, and weapons?"

This time, Li Zhongze's face showed a strong sense of sarcasm.

"Or do you think those pirates can rely on the stolen gold and silver to fill their stomachs and cover their bodies?"

"How far is the nearest pirate from here?"

Bai Shier didn't care about his ridicule of him and asked with a cold expression.

"I am just a poor scholar. If I knew this secret, how could I be a prisoner here at this time?"

Bai Shier no longer cared about Li Zhongze's a bit of unrestrained words and deeds, and he even didn't care about the secrets that Li Zhongze still hid in his heart.

If what Li Zhongze said is true and Zhang Fu really had a connection with those pirates, it would not be a problem, but a crisis that could endanger his life.

Especially when Zhu Jinxuan is still here.

Bai Shier had a headache and got up to inform Zhu Jinxuan and Hu Xiaolin of this information.

Li Zhongze was thrown into the room.

Under the threat of Zhang Fu and the Pirates, Bai Shier didn't need to worry that he would run away, because if he wanted to survive, his only chance was to hold Bai Shier's thigh tightly.

...

"What, do those pirates dare to block the sea outside Baihua Mountain?"

After hearing the news that Bai Shier got from Li Zhongze, neither Zhu Jinxuan nor Hu Xiaolin believed it. After all, the sea is so vast, and there is the main island of two thousand houses not far away. Does Zhang Fu and the pirates really have that courage?

"Never doubt a villain's actions in the face of the threat of death."

Faced with the suspicion of the two, Bai Shier gave an explanation that Li Zhongze would rather stay in Baihua Mountain than leave by boat.

"And what I'm more worried about is whether Zhang Fu will go further after colluding with those pirates."

But what Li Zhongze was worried about was not what Bai Shier was most worried about.

"Do they dare to attack the island?"

Hu Xiaolin and Zhu Jinxuan immediately understood what Bai Shier meant, and couldn't help but open their mouths, looking shocked.

"If there were really enough pirates, this would definitely happen."

Bai Shier said with a serious expression.

"At that time, even if Zhang Fu doesn't say it himself, those pirates will do this."

Zhu Jinxuan and Hu Xiaolin were silent. They understood the meaning of Bai Shier's words.

Indeed, when enough pirates gather together, their greed and ambition will also expand. The wealth accumulated by the temple over the past few years will undoubtedly stimulate the greedy ambitions of those pirates in Baihua Mountain.

For Zhang Fu, as long as they and Li Zhongze and a few insiders were intercepted and killed here, he could turn this incident completely into a pirate robbery.

Even Zhang Fu could disguise himself as the victim of this pirate robbery, be rescued openly, and return to the mansion of the Minister of War Zhang Bin to submit his duties.

In a few months, the impact of this incident will gradually disappear.
