When acting, you have to act realistically.
If he were killed by these people in one go, it would seem too unbelievable and have very low credibility.
Gu Mu glanced at the Western Frontier soldiers, his expression somewhat serious as he pondered how to die in a more fitting manner.
The soldiers from the Western Frontier noticed Gu Mu's expression and were secretly delighted: He's serious! This means we really pose a threat to him!
So they became even more determined to assassinate Gu Mu.
With his spear in hand, Gu Mu showed no fear.
But his face... still wore a serious and earnest expression.
How should I die?
Hey! Can you guys please step up your game?!
Even if I wanted to die at your hands, with your pathetic skills, I wouldn't even make it into the river!
Gu Mu disdainfully deflected one of the attackers' sneak attacks.
He sighed with a touch of melancholy.
To the soldiers of the Western Frontier—His Majesty of the Southern Kingdom sighed! It seemed he was truly in a predicament…
Charge!
Gu Mu looked at the Western Frontier soldiers who were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and couldn't understand why they were so excited.
Where does that inexplicably confident expression on their faces come from?
It seems that if the enemy doesn't give us a chance, we have no choice but to create one ourselves.
As Gu Mu fought, he deliberately walked towards the traps set up by the Western Frontier soldiers.
That trap...
It's actually quite obvious.
But Gu Mu still slipped and fell into the pit.
Immediately afterwards, countless swords pierced in from outside the pit.
Gu Mu was turned into a hedgehog by the needles.
But actually...
Although the sword had dented Gu Mu's vital points, it hadn't actually pierced his skin or injured his vital organs.
But because there were too many swords embedded in Gu Mu's body...
His blood flowed like a river instantly, and because Gu Mu fell into the cave where the light was dim, the Western Frontier soldiers didn't notice the problem for a moment.
"ah……"
Gu Mu symbolically uttered a vague syllable.
Then he closed his eyes, tilted his head, and started playing dead.
"Great! His Majesty of the Southern Kingdom is dead!" The soldiers of the Western Frontier cheered instantly. "Without His Majesty of the Southern Kingdom, the Southern Kingdom is no ordinary country! As long as we are determined, we can eventually join forces and conquer the Southern Kingdom!"
"Everyone here will be rewarded according to their merits!"
"That's great! That's great!"
...
Gu Mu heard this after seeing himself "dead".
The cheers of those people immediately rang in his ears.
Everyone was incredibly excited, shouting at the top of their lungs at an extremely high frequency.
It was like throwing a party.
It's still the same old thing: middle-aged women dancing in the square fighting with young people for space in nightclubs, with neither side willing to give in, leading to a "party" that looks like a brawl in a vegetable market.
Gu Mu has excellent hearing.
He hated that he had excellent hearing.
He even had a slight urge to slowly reach out and cover his ears.
However, if the Western Frontier soldiers who were having a party saw this, the man, who should have been dead for sure, would suddenly slowly raise his hands and cover his ears.
...Even the dead find it noisy?
Gu Mu felt that if that scene were to occur, it would cast a lifelong shadow over those soldiers from the Western Frontier.
In order to ensure his fake death went smoothly, Gu Muren mercifully refrained from doing so.
So the soldiers from the western frontier continued their revelry.
Gu Mu endured their noise and resisted the urge to reach out, thus casting a shadow over their lives.
He is truly a saint.
After an unknown amount of time, the revelry finally came to an end.
They packed Gu Mu's "corpse" into a box: "Take it to the Emperor to see!"
Since we are going to reward those who have made contributions, there must be "contributions".
Gu Mu's corpse was clearly this "merit".
Lying in the cramped, dark space, Gu Mu felt grateful once again.
Fortunately, they did not choose to cut off his head and present his whole body to their emperor.
Otherwise... what if they find out his head can't be cut off...
Gu Mu felt that these soldiers from the Western Frontier carrying boxes were constantly lingering in a state of self-isolation.
Fortunately, this time, they made the right choice.
...
Just as Gu Mu was being presented as a "merit" to the rulers of the Western Frontier,
Shen Ling waited and waited in the Hidden City, but Gu Mu did not appear, and she began to feel uneasy.
Normally by this time... with His Majesty's abilities, the battle should have been over by now, right?
But His Majesty has not yet appeared.
Shen Ling's beautiful eyes were fixed on the front.
His gaze was filled with worry and contemplation.
"Your Majesty, His Majesty is incredibly brave and will surely be alright!" The parchment fluttered its four corners, trying its best to flatter Gu Mu in front of Shen Ling, hoping to improve their relationship.
His Majesty is happy when His Majesty and His Majesty have a good relationship, and His Majesty's happiness is the greatest wish of the parchment scroll.
Yes, that must be it. It has absolutely no selfish motives whatsoever!
Shen Ling slapped down the parchment scroll that looked like a moth and said coldly, "Don't stop me, I'm going to see His Majesty."
The parchment scroll was slapped to the ground.
Like humans, it struggled for a moment with its two horns before taking off from the ground again.
Such a vivid and lifelike performance would make it appear as if it were seriously injured.
"Your Majesty, what if I let you see His Majesty, and at that moment, in the midst of battle, a sword flies towards you?" The parchment scroll rambled on, "His Majesty will definitely have to protect you, and if he has to protect you, he will be distracted in the battle, and if he is distracted, he will get injured..."
"You mean I'm a burden?" Shen Ling was on the verge of collapse.
She looked at the parchment scroll and found it disagreeable in every way.
