Chapter 164 Returning to the Capital, The Assassin's Origins, The Sea
The back garden of the Divine Martial Prince's Palace.
Qin Wu sipped his tea, surrounded by four beautiful women.
"I heard you've been doing quite well lately!"
Qin Wu put down his teacup and watched the four of them joking around.
He had his secret guards deliver intelligence about the four women's achievements after entering Jubei City.
Only then did he realize that the four women had made quite a name for themselves in the capital after he left.
It's fair to say that their days in Beijing were quite colorful.
"It's alright! It's just that some people are a bit annoying."
Jiang Pingle said casually.
Previously, they would go shopping every few days.
It felt good at first, but after a while, I had been to all the fun places around Beijing.
Then I started to get bored.
If it weren't for their individual hobbies, they would probably feel like they were bored to death.
This shows that none of the women were honest.
Finally, out of sheer boredom, those courtiers became unlucky; every time they uttered something detrimental to Qin Wu, they would be targeted.
They then developed poisons to poison them, which is how they came to be known as the Four Poisons of Divine Martial Arts.
"I don't think it's them who are annoying; I know they've become the objects of your amusement."
Qin Wu looked at Jiang Pingle with doting eyes, completely unconcerned about what Jiang Pingle and the others had done.
In Qin Wu's opinion, those people were just bored, and Jiang Pingle and the others causing them trouble was a good way to relieve their boredom, which could be considered as making use of their waste.
Qin Wu's words immediately made the girls feel embarrassed.
They all understood what Qin Wu was saying.
"You lot! Aren't you embarrassed yet?"
Qin Wu couldn't help but laugh when he saw the girls' expressions.
The group chatted idly, exchanging a few words here and there.
After chatting for a while.
Qin Wu then inquired, "How is your aunt's health? And have you found out who those assassins were?"
“My aunt’s health is not very good now after that assassination attempt, and she rarely goes out.”
"Those assassins are confirmed not to be from our country, but should be from other small countries. After this period of investigation, they are probably connected with the royal brothers."
Jiang Pingle said.
They have been investigating those people to find out where they came from.
But those people were far too cautious.
"People from a small country? We haven't even been able to find out which country they're from?"
Qin Wu became interested.
He was eager to know which small country in Eastern Qin dared to provoke him.
After all, no one dares to disagree that Dong Qin is currently the strongest country. Coming to Dong Qin to cause trouble at this time is just courting death, isn't it?
"We couldn't find them. We tracked their movements and had a guess that they might have come from overseas."
"But we know absolutely nothing about the situation overseas."
Jiang Pingle shook his head slightly.
All I could do was voice their guesses.
"From overseas? Interesting. Our Eastern Qin army is powerful, but we have little exploration of the seas. It seems there are countries overseas too!"
"Then let's not keep investigating."
"Liufeng, go and capture all those people, and try to get information out of them."
"I have a great longing for the sea."
Qin Wu's interest grew stronger.
He immediately had Liu Feng capture all the people, as he wanted to know where there were countries overseas.
When the opportunity arises, we can send someone to investigate first.
Moreover, the ocean is still undeveloped, and countless treasures lie hidden within it.
"Yes."
The sound of flowing wind drifted over.
"Your Highness, do you intend to explore the sea? It's far too dangerous. I've heard that many people have gone out to sea in the past, but none of them have ever returned. They've all likely perished at sea."
Seeing that Qin Wu had become interested, Jiang Ping was delighted and quickly asked him questions.
It's worth noting that it's not that no one has tried to explore it, but no one has ever returned.
This shows how dangerous the ocean can be.
She didn't want Qin Wu to take any risks.
"I won't go now, and if I do go, I'll make sure I'm fully prepared."
"Don't worry, I won't take any risks easily."
Qin Wu knew that Jiang Pingle was worried about him, and said with a smile.
He had ideas, but he never considered taking the risk himself. If he wanted to go to sea, he would prepare in advance.
He will only consider going to sea if he is fully prepared.
"That's good."
Jiang Pingle and the other girls finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"By the way, please make arrangements so that in a few days, after I finish what I'm doing, I can invite my aunt and maternal grandfather to come to our house for a get-together. I've been away for quite a while this time, and it's been a long time since I've seen them."
Qin Wu didn't want to say too much about going to sea, since it wasn't the right time to go.
Moreover, preparations are needed, and it's unknown how long those preparations will take.
They then directly changed the subject.
"Okay, I'll make the arrangements."
When Jiang Pingle heard Qin Wu say that he wanted to invite his aunt and the others over for a get-together, he immediately agreed.
The group then chatted casually about everyday things.
Qin Wu also cherished these heartwarming moments.
Liu Feng and his men went directly to the place where the mysterious assassins were hiding.
They didn't give these people any chance to explain, and directly took them all down and sent them back to the prison of the Divine Martial King's Mansion.
