Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort-Chapter 170: Mu Qingge Is Not a Loser (4)

Mu Xiong closed his eyes in pain. How could he not understand this principle?

However, even when there is no way, one must find a way.

Mu Xiong’s lips trembled with a choke in his throat. He had dedicated his life to war, experienced countless battles. Yet this time, he felt the most frustrated and troubled.

Because he did not lose to his opponent, but to the nation he was loyal to.

"Report! Old General, General Zhen and General Qiu request an audience." Suddenly, the Messenger came to report.

Mu Xiong abruptly opened his eyes: "Send them in." But his heart was filled with doubt. Weren’t these two heavily injured in yesterday’s battle?

Soon, the two generals, with arms and legs wrapped in blood-stained white cloth, strode in. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Mu Xiong quickly got up to greet them: "Why are you two not resting and healing, coming here instead?"

General Zhen and General Qiu exchanged glances and confidently cupped their fists towards Mu Xiong.

General Zhen said: "Old General, I have a way to buy some time."

Mu Xiong’s eyes lit up, immediately asking excitedly: "Oh? What method? Quickly, tell me."

General Zhen grinned: "My method is to gather all the severely wounded soldiers, led by the two of us, open the city gates and have a final battle with the Beast Clan outside."

"What did you say! No way!" Mu Xiong sternly refused.

How could he possibly send his soldiers to their deaths?

The other vice generals bit their lips in silence, their eyes already blurred with tears.

General Qiu also smiled calmly: "Old General, we’ve been following you for more than ten years now, what life and death haven’t we seen? This is the life and death calamity for our Mu Family Army. If our sacrifice could bring a glimmer of hope, why hesitate? Besides, there are no more medicines in our army. Even if we don’t go, after a few more days of delay, we will all become crippled. Rather than that, it’s better to have our brothers go out in a blaze of glory."

"No! Let’s wait a bit. I have already sent people to expedite the supplies and medicine. You’ll be fine!" Mu Xiong fought back the sorrow in his heart as he spoke.

General Zhen laughed heartily: "Old General, this is not our idea alone. It’s the idea of all the brothers lying in the medical camp. We’ve been lying there these days, listening to the bloody battles of our brothers at the front, and we felt ashamed! Please let us do something more for our Mu Family Army."

Mu Xiong pressed his lips tightly together, saying nothing.

In his mouth, the tightly clenched jaw had long gone numb from the pain.

...

On the official road leading to Yi City, dust flew as Mu Qingge led her Personal Guard, pressing forward day and night without pause.

"Young Lord, in a few more hours, we will reach Yi City." Beside her, a familiar aide informed Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge’s face was tense as she slowly nodded.

Suddenly, there was the sound of hooves ahead.

Someone from the Personal Guard immediately spurred their horse forward to greet. Their well-trained and prompt reaction astonished Qin Yiyao, who had been traveling with them.

"Young Lord, it’s Mo Yang and his men." The trusted aide said to Mu Qingge after recognizing the people arriving.

Mo Yang had been leading a team ahead to scout the road, returning now. Had something happened?

Mu Qingge’s eyes darkened, and she immediately urged her horse forward to meet them.

"Young Lord!" Mo Yang halted his horse in front of Mu Qingge, his handsome face as cold as ice: "We’ve discovered the corpse of a Mu Family Army Messenger up ahead."

A cold gleam flashed across Mu Qingge’s clear eyes. She said coldly, "Let’s go."

Immediately, the hundreds of men headed towards the site where the body was found.

Has something indeed happened?

Qin Yiyao felt a shock in her heart, worriedly looking at Mu Qingge’s back, and hurried to catch up.
