Mu Xiong led the troops out of the capital this time to retrieve Mu Qingge, the only heir of the Mu Family.
Once he found her, he ordered the troops to set up camp and rest, allowing the soldiers who had marched overnight to have a proper rest.
It was at this moment that Mu Ge learned from Mu Qingge's mouth who exactly was fighting on the battlefield where she'd been reborn.
Sunset Wilderness, western frontier of Qin Country.
However, it did not belong to Qin Country, because besides Qin Country, it was also connected to two other countries. One was Tu Country to the west of Qin Country, and the other was Yu Country to the south of Qin Country. This area was commonly known as the no-man's land.
This time, the one engaged in battle with Qin Country was Tu Country.
Tu Country is belligerent, and being located at the western fringe of the Linchuan Continent, it is resource-poor. Therefore, there would always be a few wars with Qin Country each year, and over time, the relationship between Qin Country and Tu Country couldn't really be harmonious.
As for the reason for each battle...
In fact, how could someone like Mu Qingge, a scion, care about the intrigues and calculations behind the wars and their purposes?
She appeared on the battlefield merely because someone around Qin Jinhao told her, "Prince Rui keeps no useless people around." Along with others chiming in and mocking the Yongning Duke's lack of successors, she had a rush of blood to her head and led her five hundred Personal Guard onto the battlefield.
Every direct descendant of the Mu Family would have their own Personal Guard.
The only orders these Personal Guards needed to obey were those from their master, just like Mu Qingge's guards who would never listen to Mu Xiong's commands over hers.
This loyalty also led to their complete annihilation.
If someone had stopped Mu Qingge in her impulsiveness, or if someone had gone to find Mu Xiong, none of this would have happened, and of course, Mu Ge wouldn't have been able to use her body to come back to life.
All of this was Mu Qingge's choice, and if accountability was needed, it wasn't the guards who should be blamed, but rather the person who incited her.
At this moment, Mu Ge was suspicious, wondering if someone was instigating, and whether Qin Jinhao, this key figure, was aware of it.
Mu Qingge looked at Qin Jinhao with a small gaze, thinking she could hide nothing from her.
"Do you like him?" In the tent, Mu Ge, sitting cross-legged on a mat, suddenly looked at Mu Qingge and blurted.
"What?!" Mu Qingge's eyes began to dodge.
Mu Xiong was busy arranging the camp matter, personally patrolling, which was his habit formed on the battlefield. So, at this moment, only Mu Ge was in the tent resting.
Mu Ge narrowed her eyes, leaning her body forward, getting closer to Mu Qingge's spirit: "As a man, loving a prince, I'm afraid it's not easy, is it?"
Mu Qingge's body stiffened, her semi-transparent face showing a few shades of paleness.
Mu Ge lazily retracted her body and said in a dangerous tone: "Now, I am you. If you don't want Mu Qingge to disappear again, you'd better tell me what you're hiding."
Mu Qingge pressed her lips lightly, saying flatly, "I wasn't planning to hide it from you."
"Speak." Mu Ge lifted her gaze.
...
Half an incense stick later, the tent was silent.
"Ruffian, brutal, cruel, irritable, arrogant, and... a cut-sleeve? Good, very good!" Mu Ge gritted her teeth, her face dark and unpleasant.
Exactly what kind of person's body had she entered.
Previously, she thought that Mu Qingge was merely forced by her status to exhibit a capricious personality. But she didn't expect that she had left such a fine reputation for herself.
The other traits aside, this reputation as a cut-sleeve... carrying this black mark is truly...
That Qin Jinhao, with one look, was clearly a person of profound schemes and mind; being a prince, how could he be simple?
