If we were to say who was the happiest during these seven days, it would be none other than Qin Mu.

That title undoubtedly belongs to Unfettered King Qin Wuji.

His biggest competitor, Sun Scale King, died, along with his personal guards and ministers who sided with him, all meeting a tragic end.

As a result, he leaped onto the second seat of the Great Qin Dynasty, and it was completely justified.

This made him so excited that he could hardly sleep, even laughing foolishly in his dreams.

If the circumstances allowed, he would have wanted to hold a grand feast in his mansion to celebrate this moment.

Qin Wuji had never expected that Qin Mu would kill Sun Scale King. While he was shocked, he couldn't help but feel amazed, thinking, "My goodness, I knew you were incompetent, but I never expected you to be this incompetent!"

This was practically helping him eliminate his opponent!

As for Sun Scale King's younger brother, South River King, Qin Wuji didn't pay him any attention.

Although South River King commanded the Southern Army, in reality, this army was still under the control and deployment of the Minister of War and did not belong to South River King's personal guards.

And the Minister of War was his person, so with just one command, Qin Wuji could easily obtain control of this army without any effort.

Furthermore, South River King had always held his brother, Sun Scale King, in high regard, so he could fully exploit this and make South River King serve him, to attack the incompetent ruler, Qin Mu.

Finally, with the intervention of the Saint Ancestor in the ancestral tomb, Great Qin would be within his grasp.

Qin Wuji's heart was filled with excitement.

Once he became the Emperor of Qin, he could sit on an equal footing with Ash Moon Empress. He believed that at that time, Ash Moon Empress would definitely look at him with admiration.

Perhaps he could even take this opportunity to become a... by the side of the Empress.

Thinking of this, Qin Wuji's inner excitement was about to burst out.

But on the surface, he maintained a calm and indifferent appearance.

"Everyone, Great Qin is in danger," Qin Wuji shook his head and sighed.

Upon hearing this, the courtiers remained silent.

This was a fact that no one could change, even if Unfettered King intervened, it would be difficult to reverse the situation.

This filled the courtiers with a sense of despair.

"However, since Great Qin has reached this point, as the younger brother of the Emperor of Qin, I will do my utmost to defend our territory!"

At this moment, Qin Wuji suddenly raised his head, his eyes shining with determination, and he passionately said, "My lord, you must not take risks!"

The courtiers' expressions changed, and they hurriedly dissuaded him.

With the example of Sun Scale King, they didn't dare to let Unfettered King go to battle again.

They were afraid that he would not return.

Seeing this, Qin Wuji sighed, his eyes filled with melancholy, as if he was deeply worried about the future of Great Qin.

But in his heart, he was ecstatic.

Seeing the courtiers nervous and fearful, his inner satisfaction almost burst out.

He had never intended to defend any territory. The words he just said were just empty talk.

Sure enough, the courtiers' reaction showed that they attached great importance to him.

This made Qin Wuji enjoy it.

It showed that his years of disguise had been effective.

Qin Wuji couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

Qin Shijing, Qin Shijing, you have actively participated in the court and laid out plans for the world in recent years, but now it has all come to nothing.

While I have indulged in pleasure and enjoyed a life of luxury, when I return to the stage, I can still control the court.

Who is superior and who is inferior is clear at a glance!

He continued to pretend to have a worried and sorrowful expression, sighing repeatedly, "I never wanted to take risks.

But if I continue to do nothing, what will happen to the billions of people in Great Qin?"

As he said this, his eyes even turned red.

Seeing Qin Wuji in this state, the courtiers' hearts became even more tangled.

Qin Wuji was preparing to strike while the iron was hot and say something to win over the hearts of the people.

Just at this moment,

A lazy voice suddenly sounded in the hall.

"Unfettered King is truly concerned about the country and the people, no wonder he is deeply loved by the world."

Upon hearing this voice, the pupils of the courtiers instantly shrank, and each of them fell silent.

A slender figure walked into the hall from the entrance, and it was Qin Mu.

He had a smile on his face as he leisurely walked into the hall, went straight to the dragon case, sat down, and crossed his legs.

Qin Mu looked at Qin Wuji with a teasing gaze.

"Greetings, Your... Your Majesty!"

The ministers all knelt down, trembling.

Qin Mu ignored them and asked Qin Wuji, "Unfettered King, how come you have the time to come to the palace? Could it be that you are here to pay respects to Sun Scale King?"

Qin Mu spoke casually, as if the two of them had a close relationship.

But his words frightened the courtiers.

This sentence was full of profound meaning.

They were afraid that Qin Mu's next words would be an order to execute Unfettered King,

After all... the Emperor seemed to be in a killing frenzy.

Qin Wuji didn't have much of a reaction, at least not on the surface.

He respectfully bowed.

"Imperial Brother, Sun Scale King is a hero of Great Qin. His death is a tragedy for Great Qin."

"But the deceased is gone, and the living must cherish the present and revitalize our Great Qin's prosperity. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a disappointment to the spirit of Sun Scale King in heaven?"

Qin Mu had a smile on his lips and said lightly, "Oh? I wonder how we should revitalize it? How about I just give you the throne?"

Qin Wuji immediately broke out in a cold sweat and quickly knelt down, "Imperial Brother, please don't make such jokes. Your younger brother cannot bear such a responsibility."

Qin Mu smiled slightly and said, "I was just joking with you. Speak, what business do you have with me today?"

Qin Wuji felt relieved and quickly said, "Reporting to Imperial Brother, it's like this. The rebellion in the northern region is imminent. Your younger brother has been thinking about it for a long time. Jiang Luoshen in the northern region only wants to seek justice for Northern Guardian King. Why don't we give her justice?"

Qin Mu narrowed his eyes and looked at him with interest, "Oh? How do you plan to give her justice?"

Qin Wuji smiled and said, "Imperial Brother, all you need to do is pardon Northern Guardian King for his rebellion and give him a noble burial. In this way, the northern region will have no reason to rebel."

He paused and added, "Not only that, we can also form an alliance with Jiang Luoshen. This will not only stabilize the power of the Jiang family in the northern region, but also make her let go of her hatred."

"Then who will marry Jiang Luoshen?" Qin Mu raised an eyebrow curiously.

"Your younger brother is not talented. I just broke through to the Divine Treasure Realm a few days ago. I am willing to go to the northern region and marry Jiang Luoshen as my wife!"

Qin Wuji looked confident and said loudly.

"Oh, you broke through to the Divine Treasure Realm?" Qin Mu looked at Qin Wuji with surprise.

He had only barely reached the Divine Treasure Realm with the rewards from the system. He didn't expect that Qin Wuji had already reached the Divine Treasure Realm through his own talent.

This guy was indeed abnormal, but he couldn't be underestimated.

Qin Wuji nodded slightly and explained, "Although I enjoy the flowers and scenery every day, I haven't neglected my cultivation. I have now reached the Divine Treasure Realm, just one step away from the Primordial Spirit Realm. I believe I am more than capable of matching Jiang Luoshen."

After hearing this, Qin Mu couldn't help shaking his head, "I never expected that you would be a believer in the ordinary path."

Qin Wuji was slightly stunned, obviously not understanding the meaning of these three words.

He just wanted to use this excuse to leave Chang'an City and complete his final layout. If he could win over Jiang Luoshen, that would be the best outcome.

Even if he couldn't win her over, he could still secretly form an alliance with Jiang Luoshen.

Qin Wuji was thinking about this when suddenly Qin Mu walked down from the dragon throne and came to his side, a strange smile on his lips as he whispered,

"Your four concubines are quite good, I am very satisfied. They also told me a lot about you, I was quite shocked."

Qin Wuji trembled all over when he heard this, his eyes widened in horror.
