In the court, ministers stood in a row.

Qin Mu sat on the dragon throne, overlooking the officials, and asked casually, "What do you have to report, my ministers?"

Upon hearing this, the ministers exchanged glances, and finally the national teacher stepped forward to speak.

"Your Majesty, according to reliable information, we have learned that the Northern Territory has dispatched an unknown number of Tiger Guard to gather information around Jiangnan County. It seems that they have some intentions towards Jiangnan County. Your Majesty, please make a decision quickly."

Upon hearing the national teacher's words, Qin Mu raised an eyebrow.

The Tiger Guard is the most elite force in the Northern Territory's army. Each soldier has undergone rigorous training and is the sharpest blade in the hands of the Northern Territory's king.

The Northern Territory dispatched the Tiger Guard to lurk around Jiangnan County to gather information, fearing that they were targeting the geographical location of Jiangnan County.

It seems that Jiang Luoshen is really preparing to send troops.

Finally going to war, Jiang Luoshen, you've made us wait for so long...

Qin Mu's cold eyes flickered slightly, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

In fact, he could have sent Luo Xue or other Saint puppets to the Northern Territory to completely annihilate them and solve the problem once and for all.

In this era where there is no Great Emperor, the Saint Realm is already the top combat power.

When the nine Saints appear, except for some truly transcendent Sacred Lands, almost no one can stop them.

But Qin Mu didn't do that.

Instead, he has been waiting for Jiang Luoshen to send troops so that he can continue to perform various foolish acts to obtain system rewards.

"A mere Tiger Guard from the Northern Territory is not worth mentioning. Why bother disturbing me with such trivial matters?"

Qin Mu lazily leaned back on the dragon throne, snorted coldly, and showed impatience on his face.

Upon hearing this, the ministers were speechless and choked with silence in their hearts.

Are you overworking yourself on the dragon bed?

They truly admired their emperor's shamelessness.

They had seen incompetent rulers, but they had never seen one as shameless as their emperor.

He could turn debauchery into hard work day and night, and turn cruelty and bloodlust into diligent governance and love for the people. It was truly unparalleled.

But when they thought of the attitude of the former Emperor Qin Tian before and after seeing the Deathless Pill, they felt that it was nothing.

The Qin royal family has a consistent style.

"Your Majesty, although it is a trivial matter, if left unattended, it may endanger the safety of Jiangnan County and the imperial city. I hope Your Majesty will think twice," the national teacher, Du Yulin, sighed and respectfully advised.

"Well, since that's the case, just send a few people to solve it casually," Qin Mu waved his hand casually and said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, the ministers once again felt helpless.

If it could be that simple, they wouldn't have come to the court to discuss this matter.

The national teacher's face showed bitterness, he pondered for a moment, and then bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, although the Tiger Guard from the Northern Territory is not a big deal, they are backed by the Northern Territory's army. We cannot handle it lightly."

"Yes, Your Majesty, this matter is unusual. The Tiger Guard from the Northern Territory is an important force guarding the northern border. Now that they have been mobilized, we must not be careless."

"Your Majesty, I heard that it is Qi An, the prince of the Northern Territory, who personally led the troops this time. Qi An is one of the pillars of the Northern Territory. If we casually send a few people, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with and may lead to unforeseen consequences."

The ministers knelt down one after another, earnestly advising.

In fact, they were not too worried about the Tiger Guard from the Northern Territory. After all, no matter how many Tiger Guard there were, they were just ordinary soldiers.

They could still handle it. It was Qi An that they were truly worried about.

Qi An, in the Northern Territory, can be said to have a great reputation, no less than the Northern Guardian King and his daughter, Jiang Luoshen.

It is said that Qi An has extremely high cultivation talent and has reached the Divine Treasure Realm at a young age. His strength is unfathomable.

Moreover, Qi An is cautious and resourceful. When he was young, he was a fierce general in the Northern Territory, following the Northern Guardian King in battles and achieving numerous glorious victories.

Later, as he grew older, he retreated to the second line and became a strategist behind the scenes, continuing to offer advice and strategies for the Northern Territory, firmly holding the rear.

Qi An has always been regarded as the backbone of the Northern Territory.

As long as he is there, the Northern Territory is destined to remain stable.

This person, who also commands such an elite force as the Tiger Guard, is not someone they can provoke.

Therefore, the officials are preparing to discuss matters in court.

"Hmph! Qi An Guo may be formidable, but that's all. Does he dare to attack my imperial city alone?!"

Qin Mu sneered, his gaze cold.

"Your Majesty, please calm down..." The national teacher, Du Yulin, quickly bowed his head and whispered, "We did not mean that..."

"Enough, you don't need to say anymore." Qin Mu waved his sleeve, interrupting Du Yulin's words, and said coldly,

"South River King should have nothing to do now, so let him go suppress the so-called Tiger Guard."

"Your Majesty, this..."

Du Yulin looked up, a look of astonishment on his face, about to speak but was interrupted by Qin Mu again.

"No need to say more, that's it."

Qin Mu glanced indifferently at the officials, "Issue the decree, command South River King to lead his subordinates to suppress the Tiger Guard and capture the traitor Qi An Guo."

After speaking, he left with a flick of his sleeve.

"Your Majesty, but... doesn't this mean that there will be no one in charge of the Southern Border!?"

National teacher Du Yulin's expression changed drastically, unable to help but exclaim.

His face was filled with anxiety, and he immediately got up and chased after Qin Mu outside the palace.

But at this moment, Qin Mu had already disappeared without a trace.

"Ah..."

Looking at the empty corridor, Du Yulin couldn't help but sigh.

In this way, the Southern Border would be extremely vulnerable. If the barbarians outside the Southern Border were to invade, the consequences would be unimaginable...

Meanwhile, in the court, the faces of many officials turned pale.

"Your Majesty..."

The officials hesitated, not knowing what to say.

Your Majesty acted too hastily this time. How can you let South River King launch an attack? This will only give the barbarians an opportunity to take advantage of.

"How can you be so reckless..."

An old minister trembled his lips, his face pale, his legs weak, almost collapsing to the ground.

South River King guards the Southern Border and resists the barbarians outside the Southern Border.

At this time, if South River King suddenly attacks, it will inevitably lead to the dispersion of the Southern Border's forces, unable to take care of the Southern Border's defense.

If these barbarians take advantage of this and launch an attack, the Southern Border will be in danger!

This is a major taboo!

"Your Majesty, you're confused!!"

Someone sighed with sorrow, their eyes turning red.

The officials also had mixed feelings.

If Your Majesty acts so recklessly and something goes wrong, it will be a big trouble.

National teacher Du Yulin returned to the main hall, smiled bitterly, and comforted the officials,

"Everyone, there is a forbidden land of life between the Southern River and the barbarians. Those barbarians dare not act rashly, so we shouldn't worry for now."

Upon hearing this, the worries in everyone's hearts eased a little.

But they still had furrowed brows.

Those barbarians indeed dare not easily set foot in Great Qin.

But they are still an uncertain factor. Without the presence of South River King, they might invade one day.

For a while, the entire court was filled with a suppressed and solemn atmosphere.

There is no doubt that the officials regarded Qin Mu's order as a foolish act.

And it was a foolish act that disregarded the consequences and the overall situation.

On the other side, Qin Mu had just returned to the Unending Palace.

[Ding~ Detected that the host has demolished the southern wall to repair the northern wall, disregarding the overall situation, and made a foolish move that disappointed the officials. Reward: True Dragon Egg!]
