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

"Jiang Luoshen, did she really kill the South River King?"

"As expected of the Northern Border Flower, she is truly extraordinary."

"In that case, this war should end soon, right?"

"It is said that the Northern Border has already led hundreds of thousands of troops straight to Jiangnan County, and Jiang Luoshen herself took action. Jiangnan County is in great danger!"

....

One piece of news after another quickly spread, causing a commotion throughout Great Qin.

Various discussions and speculations arose. No one expected that the mighty South River King would be defeated by Jiang Luoshen in just one day.

And the defeat was extremely tragic!

Not only did he suffer heavy losses, but he also lost his life.

It was truly shocking!

If it weren't for everyone discussing it privately, it would have spread throughout the entire Heavenly River Domain.

But even so, this incident still caused a huge uproar.

"With the death of the South River King, Jiangnan County is now without a leader. The Northern Border will surely take advantage of this!"

Many people sighed, their thoughts varying.

For a while, the entire court and the people were discussing when the Northern Border army would attack.

Amidst these discussions, there were also criticisms of Qin Mu. In this period of time, three princes of Great Qin had already died.

Apart from the Unfettered King Qin Wuji, the other two princes died in battle while suppressing rebellions.

If there were no hidden secrets behind this, no one would believe it!

In the current period of internal and external troubles in Great Qin, Qin Mu, as the ruler of Great Qin, repeatedly committed acts that harmed the backbone of Great Qin. It could be said that he was extremely incompetent!

They really wanted to know what was going on in Qin Mu's mind!

Even though the thoughts of these princes were different, the immediate concern was still the external enemy.

How could they exhaust their own strength at this moment!

The reputation of Qin Mu's incompetence had successfully risen to a new level!

At this moment,

Inside the dungeon, an old man covered in blood was locked in the deepest part of the prison.

This old man's clothes were tattered, his hair disheveled, covered in bloodstains. His chest was pierced by a sharp weapon, his flesh withered, and his breath was weak, as if he could die at any moment.

But he didn't die in the end.

The old man stared with bloodshot eyes at a figure outside the cell, gritting his teeth, wishing to tear him apart:

"Incompetent ruler! So it was you behind all of this! We underestimated you! Not only are you incompetent, but you are also extremely malicious!"

The old man was filled with anger, his voice filled with hatred and unwillingness.

If Jiang Luoshen were here, she would surely be shocked.

He was Qi Anguo, the strategist of the Northern Border.

And the figure outside the cell was none other than Qin Mu.

Qin Mu shook his head helplessly and said:

"Qi Anguo, it was Qin Shijie who wanted to kill you, and I saved you."

"But instead of being grateful, you insulted me. It seems that you North Border people are always like this, right?"

Qin Mu's indifferent voice echoed in the prison, causing Qi Anguo to burst into laughter.

"You foolish ruler, do you think your plan to frame and shift the blame onto the South River King is flawless?"

"Do you think that by doing this, you can transfer the hatred of the Northern Border onto the South River King?"

"Let me tell you, with your plan full of loopholes, His Highness has already seen through your conspiracy with his intelligence!"

"Not only are you incompetent and malicious, but you are also extremely foolish!"

Qi Anguo sneered.

At the moment he saw Qin Mu, he already understood everything in his heart.

All of this was planned by this foolish ruler in front of him, with the purpose of using the Northern Border's hand to eliminate the South River King and transfer the Northern Border's hatred onto him!

Qi Anguo believed that he had seen through the conspiracy of this foolish ruler!

"Oh? Then you are truly too naive."

Qin Mu remained calm and simply smiled.

Qi Anguo frowned, his eyebrows furrowed.

He vaguely felt that something was not right, but he couldn't grasp the specific source.

Then Qin Mu continued speaking:

"South River King's attempt to rebel is indeed deserving of death. However, he is ultimately a member of the royal family, my brother.

If we were to execute him directly, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the courtiers?"

"Therefore, I have decided to give South River King a dignified exit. Dying in battle is better than being executed for treason, isn't it? Have I done something wrong?"

"Phew!"

Qi Anguo spat out the dirt in his mouth fiercely:

"You sent someone to kill me and framed South River King. You had ill intentions from the start. And now you revive me using some means, there must be a bigger conspiracy. Stop pretending to be righteous!"

He looked ferocious, full of resentment and disdain.

But when it came to the matter of resurrection, Qi Anguo also had a hint of fear and confusion deep in his heart.

He was clearly dead.

Qi Anguo was absolutely certain of this.

But now he had come back to life, and his spirit was intact.

Qi Anguo was also absolutely certain of this.

So how did this incompetent ruler manage to do it?

Did he possess the ability to resurrect the dead!?

Qi Anguo was filled with doubts and couldn't understand how he had come back to life.

He had been practicing for several decades, but had never heard of the ability to resurrect the dead!

Unless... he possessed the legendary... immortal artifact!

But such a thing was extremely precious, and this incompetent ruler was actually willing to use it on himself?

Thinking of this, Qi Anguo's doubts grew even stronger. If his speculations were true, it could only mean that this incompetent ruler had a bigger plan!

At this moment, Qin Mu did not pay attention to Qi Anguo's angry curses. He sat quietly in his chair, looking at Qi Anguo with a faint smile.

"Well, I didn't expect you to figure it out. Since that's the case, I won't beat around the bush."

"South River King was already labeled with the mark of death the moment he betrayed and colluded with the enemy. Do you think I would go through so much trouble?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Anguo's heart skipped a beat and he suddenly looked up.

Qin Mu's lips curved into a mysterious arc.

"You're right, I do have a bigger conspiracy."

"What if one day, when Jiang Luoshen arrives at Chang'an City and finds out that it was you, Qi Anguo, commanding my Great Qin army, would she collapse and go insane?"

Qin Mu's voice was calm, and his deep eyes carried a hint of anticipation.

Qi Anguo's face instantly changed.

Qin Mu stood up, his lips slightly upturned, his eyes filled with excitement, and he continued slowly:

"When Jiang Luoshen learns that the betrayer behind all this is actually you, Qi Anguo, do you think her spirit will collapse and her Dao heart will crumble?"

"After all, she respects you so much."

At this point, Qin Mu's words abruptly stopped, but the excitement in his eyes grew even stronger.

Qi Anguo's face turned pale, cold sweat pouring down his forehead, and his whole body trembled.

"And when her Dao heart collapses, I will plant a Demon Imprint on her. Won't everything go smoothly?"

Qin Mu's tone was low, and a smile played at the corners of his mouth.

That's right.

This was his ultimate goal.

He didn't frame Qin Shijie, nor did he want to eliminate Qin Shijie through the hands of the Northern Territory. He wasn't even trying to shift the hatred of the Northern Territory.

He was creating a perfect identity for Qi Anguo to die heroically.

And then, using the Fountain of Immortality to resurrect him, making him a strategist for Great Qin and engaging in a battle with Jiang Luoshen.

When Jiang Luoshen discovers all of this, her expression will surely be quite spectacular.

At that time, Jiang Luoshen's value as a pawn will have been completely exhausted.

While Jiang Luoshen's Dao heart is collapsing, he will plant the Demon Imprint on her, and everything will go smoothly.

After all, Jiang Luoshen is recognized by the system as the future Empress, her will must be exceptionally firm.

Qin Mu was very worried that the Demon Imprint would fail on her, so he planned this move accordingly.

From the beginning, his goal was not Qin Shijie.

Qin Shijie was just a pawn in this plan.
