Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort novel Chapter 185

Chapter 185: Chapter 185: You’re Not Convinced, and Neither Am I (8)

"Imperial Brother, tell me, if the common people around us knew the inside story of the heavy losses the Mu Family Army suffered this time, what would they do?"

A slightly gloating voice suddenly sounded in Qin Jinxiu’s ear.

Qin Jinxiu’s expression changed, and he cast a harsh gaze at the speaker, Qin Jinhao, replying darkly, "This Crown Prince has no idea what you are talking about."

Qin Jinhao smiled playfully: "Oh? If Imperial Brother doesn’t know, then forget it."

After speaking, the corners of his mouth curved into a faint arc. It seemed that the bigger the reaction from the common people, the happier he became, as if he had another tool at hand to use against the Crown Prince.

"Old Lord, where is my son? Has he returned?"

An elderly man broke through the crowd, tears streaming down as he looked at Mu Xiong, his aged eyes full of hope.

Mu Xiong pressed his lips together in silence. He didn’t know if the old man’s son was still alive.

"Old Lord, what about my son!"

"Old Lord, my son is still alive, isn’t he?"

Inquiries arose around them. With the renowned name of the Mu Family Army, how many families’ children in Qin Country had joined them? Mu Xiong couldn’t know them all personally, but he understood their feelings.

He raised his hand to calm them: "Everyone, please don’t worry. Although we’ve lost many good sons this time, many are still stationed at the Yi City border. Starting tomorrow, someone will contact everyone to ascertain your children’s current status."

Hearing Mu Xiong’s words, the crowd’s emotions gradually calmed. They all hoped that their children were still alive, that the ones brought back in the urns were not theirs.

"This time, there shouldn’t have been such heavy casualties." Just as the crowd’s emotions eased, a cool and slightly chilly voice suddenly interjected.

The surroundings quieted down again because of this sentence.

Mu Qingge rode out slowly on horseback, heading towards Crown Prince Qin Jinxiu.

"Who is that?"

Mu Qingge glanced lightly at him, her gaze returned to Qin Jinxiu, and her smile carried a chill: "Why such a strong reaction, Your Highness? This Lord merely wishes to ask whether the Crown Prince knows the whereabouts of Han Sheng."

"Isn’t Han Sheng the Crown Prince’s uncle?"

"Why is the young lord asking about the Imperial Uncle’s whereabouts?"

"Yeah! How did the Imperial Uncle get involved in this?"

The common people around were baffled.

However, the few people of noble status present understood the meaning behind Mu Qingge’s words.

"What do you want from him?" Qin Jinxiu asked with a somber face.

Mu Qingge’s mysterious smile, though soft, reached the ears of the surrounding populace: "What this Lord wants from him is to inquire... while my Mu Family Army was desperately fending off the Beast Clan’s attack, what was this Lord Commander doing? Why were my Mu Family Army on the front lines fighting enemies, short of supplies, wielding blunt weapons against the Beast Clan?"
