The Future Empress Is Given Death At The Beginning, And I Become Stronger When I Am Stupid.

Chapter 17 Does Working Hard To Cultivate Both Together Count As Cultivation?

He stood in front of the side hall, silent like a statue.

But the terrifying aura he emitted made people tremble with fear.

And he wore a black mask, his face unclear, only a pair of cold and merciless eyes, flickering with crimson light.

This is the Dark God Guard.

The former Qin Emperor personally trained this death warrior to carry out various secret missions and protect Qin Mu's safety.

"Commander Li Hanshan of the Dark God Guard, greetings to Your Majesty."

The man in the black robe looked up at Qin Mu, his tone respectful.

He knelt on both knees and prostrated himself on the ground.

"Rise."

Qin Mu waved his hand, then sat down on the chair.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Hanshan stood up, still silent.

"How are things recently, especially in the Northern Territory with Jiang Luoshen? Any new information?" Qin Mu asked directly.

During this time, he seemed to have been doing various foolish things, but it was only to obtain rewards from the system.

In reality, he had been secretly investigating the movements and situations of various forces, strategizing from thousands of miles away.

After all, in this fantasy world where strength is paramount, a slight mistake could cost him his life.

Qin Mu didn't want to mess up.

"Your Majesty."

Li Hanshan knelt on one knee and clasped his fists, saying, "According to our investigation, everything is normal in the Northern Territory for now. There have been no troops or powerful beings leaving the three continents of the Northern Territory."

"Oh?"

Qin Mu raised an eyebrow, showing surprise.

He thought Jiang Luoshen would immediately rebel, but she only refused the poisoned wine and killed the imperial guards who delivered the decree. Apart from that, there were no major actions.

However, this also proved that Jiang Luoshen was not reckless.

An enemy who knows how to endure is far more terrifying than a high-profile enemy.

Jiang Luoshen is definitely not simple.

"Your Majesty, I believe Jiang Luoshen will not give up easily. Once she finds an opportunity, she will undoubtedly cause immeasurable damage to Great Qin," Li Hanshan said after a moment of contemplation, speaking solemnly. "Therefore, Your Majesty should act swiftly to avoid trouble in the long run!"

"Hmm."

Qin Mu nodded.

He was aware of this matter as well.

However, Qin Mu still needed Jiang Luoshen as an experience baby to allow him to do various foolish things and gain rewards from the system.

So he didn't plan to take action in the Northern Territory for the time being.

"Since she can restrain herself, I am not in a hurry," Qin Mu pondered for a moment, then said lightly, "You continue to monitor the Northern Territory and report any developments."

"As you command!" Li Hanshan didn't hesitate and immediately knelt down to respond.

The Emperor's considerations naturally had his reasons.

His purpose was to obey orders, without questioning the reasons or right and wrong.

Then, Li Hanshan continued, "Reporting to Your Majesty, although there is nothing unusual in the Northern Territory, there are signs of a large number of troops gathering in the Southern Border."

"And South River King Qin Shijie has recently been to Chang'an City and has close ties with Sun Scale King."

"Oh?" Qin Mu raised an eyebrow, showing interest. "What tricks do these two guys want to play again?"

"Your Majesty," Li Hanshan paused, then continued, "South River King and Sun Scale King are siblings. When they gather together, it is feared that something unexpected will happen..."

"It doesn't matter." Qin Mu waved his hand. "These two wastes won't cause any trouble."

"Yes."

Hearing the contempt in Qin Mu's words, Li Hanshan lowered his head.

Internal struggles within the royal family, as an outsider, he was already greatly honored to hear such words.

But he was somewhat surprised in his heart.

He had followed His Majesty for so long, but he had never seen him in this attitude before.

In His Majesty's eyes, it seemed that South River King and Sun Scale King were nothing...

"Continue to monitor the Northern Territory and Southern Border. Report to me immediately if there is any movement, especially Jiang Luoshen. Keep a close eye on her and don't slack off." Qin Mu instructed.

"Understood!"

"If there's nothing else, you may leave."

Qin Mu waved his hand, signaling the other person to leave.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Hanshan bowed and left.

"Wait."

However, Qin Mu called him back.

Li Hanshan paused, puzzled. "Your Majesty, do you have any other orders?"

"Don't be in a hurry to leave."

Qin Mu shook his head.

He suddenly thought of something, gently flipped his right hand, and threw out a bottle of elixir.

Li Hanshan instinctively reached out and caught the elixir.

A strong fragrance filled the air, refreshing the heart and mind.

Inside the bottle were dozens of emerald green pills, with golden patterns flowing on the surface, as if they were alive.

"This is the Spirit Pill, it's my personal collection," Qin Mu smiled and said, "Take some and distribute it to the meritorious members of the Dark God Guard, and keep the rest for yourself."

Li Hanshan was stunned.

He didn't expect that His Majesty would reward him with such a precious elixir.

"Your Majesty, this is too valuable, I dare not accept it."

Li Hanshan bowed and knelt down, fearfully refusing.

The Spirit Pill!

This was the Spirit Pill that was said to be able to compensate for the deficiencies in a cultivator's talent. Each pill was priceless and hard to find in the world.

"I told you to accept it, so accept it," Qin Mu frowned, "Do you think this thing is not worthy of you?"

"I dare not!" Li Hanshan quickly kowtowed, then carefully put away the Spirit Pill, and respectfully said, "I thank Your Majesty on behalf of the many brothers of the Dark God Guard."

"That's right, with your increased strength, you can complete more difficult tasks, which is more helpful to me, isn't it?" Qin Mu nodded in satisfaction.

"Yes, I will definitely serve Your Majesty with all my efforts, and I won't hesitate to go through fire and water," Li Hanshan said excitedly, kowtowing again.

With this Spirit Pill, he believed that he would soon make further progress!

"Alright, you may leave now," Qin Mu waved his hand, indicating for Li Hanshan to leave.

"Yes!" Li Hanshan respectfully responded, then turned into a shadow and left.

Qin Mu stood up.

A bottle of Heaven Mending Pill was nothing to him, but for someone like Li Hanshan, who was the leader of the Dark God Guard, it was like a life-saving medicine.

It was perfect for winning people's hearts.

"South River King, Sun Scale King..." Qin Mu's lips curled up, revealing a cold smile. "Just wait, you two clowns won't be able to jump around for long."

He put away his thoughts and prepared to return to the palace to continue his ordinary and uneventful day.

No, he should say it was a day of diligent cultivation.

After all, doesn't dual cultivation count as cultivation?

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

Just then, a hurried footsteps sounded, followed by a slightly panicked voice from outside the hall.

Qin Mu furrowed his brows.

Turning around, he saw a beautiful maid running towards him in a hurry.

"What is it?"

He glanced coldly at the court lady and said indifferently.

"The servant pays respects to Your Majesty." The maid was startled, quickly prostrating herself and tremblingly said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the National Teacher has come to visit and says there is an urgent matter to report. He is anxiously waiting outside the study."
