Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers-Chapter 324 - : Hot Air Balloon

Chapter 324: Chapter 324: Hot Air Balloon

Qi Yue busied herself instructing him to go down for a meal and rest, and after she finished reading, she would have someone call for him.

“Yes, Master.”

With Hei San gone, Qi Yue opened the letter and largely grasped the situation Yecheng was facing.

Her view was the same as Zhao Xiyan’s. The Fox King was cunning and would not make a move lightly, and he was also very clear about the proverb ‘when the hare is dead, the hound is cooked.’

The Emperor had been dissatisfied with him for many years, and this time he was seizing the opportunity to act.

Now that he had a five-hundred-thousand-strong army at his disposal, he was even less eager to act.

...

Song Qingshu, on the other hand, was a simpleton who only knew about fighting and listened to his father the most; he would not act rashly either.

So, despite Yecheng being surrounded by the Donggao Army, it was not the most pressing issue.

Instead, the Beiyuan Court might take this opportunity to make a move.

Whether from the direction of Longnan County Government or Dengzhou, or even attacking on both fronts.

Once the Beiyuan Court took action, Donggao would also swarm in to take back Yecheng.

Zhao Xiyan had a total of less than two hundred thousand troops; if attacked on all fronts, the consequences were unthinkable.

Therefore, the most urgent priority was to take down Longnan County Government and secure the Southeast line.

Thinking about how she had killed Hu Chengxuan last night and recalled Hu Keqing effectively weakening the Great Wall’s defenses, she felt somewhat proud.

She took out paper and pen and wrote at length about what happened last night, then sealed it in an envelope.

After some thought, she felt something was missing, so she pulled out the letter and added one more sentence at the end.

[Did I do well?]

Just thinking about the expression on Zhao Xiyan’s face when he read this sentence made her involuntarily smile with her lips curled.

After sealing the letter, she also sealed the note she had written earlier with the letter in an envelope.

Considering that sending messages this way was not ideal, Qi Yue decided she would teach Hei San how to pilot a sightseeing hot air balloon.

This device, while not particularly advanced in technology, was reusable as long as the onboard heater was well maintained.

It could easily cross over dangerously inaccessible terrain and was simple to operate, with only the need to adjust altitude.

Indeed, a great invention!

If people could become adept at operating it, they could even form teams of Air Troopers!

When the time came for a surprise from the skies, who would dare to challenge them?

The very thought exhilarated Qi Yue.

She had stockpiled so many excellent items in her space, and the Space Mall offered an endless supply of time-space coins to purchase even more marvelous goods.

If not now, then when?

She had refrained from exposing these things before because she didn’t want to involve herself in such grand matters of the world and wished to live a quiet life.

But the current situation no longer allowed for that. The unfolding events had pushed her to the forefront.

If she did not take control of the world, she would be at the mercy of others!

Well then, she wouldn’t hold back!

Stand up and shock this world!

In that moment, Qi Yue made up her mind!

Perhaps the force that had brought her to this place in the first place wanted to witness this world turned upside down!

She immediately went to the open space in the backyard and fetched a hot air balloon.

This was the smallest of the balloons, painted in alternating stripes of blue and white. Since they were ascending in daylight, it was best not to be too conspicuous.

Before long, Hei San and a few others arrived and saw Qi Yue half-popped out of a sizeable basket.

Around the basket dangled lots of ropes and cords; the whole contraption was quite strange to them, and they all looked on in surprise.

But after all, they were part of the Black Feather Guard, and they had heard that their Master had some extraordinary abilities, often doing amazing things and producing formidable objects.

They immediately became somewhat excited.

“Master, is there something Hei San can do for you?”

Hei San stepped forward and bowed, but his eyes remained fixed on the bizarre basket in front of him.

It looked very sturdy.

This doesn’t seem like something an average craftsman could create, does it?

As Qi Yue was busy familiarizing herself with the operation of the hot air balloon, she saw Hei San arrive and immediately waved him over.

“Come up here.”

“Ah?” Hei San’s eyes stared blankly at the large basket, struggling to grasp what was happening. Where to go up?

“I want you to come up, get in the basket.”

“Ah?” Hei San’s forehead was covered in cold sweat, barely stopping himself from kneeling, his lips trembling as he said, “This subordinate doesn’t dare.”

Although the basket was large, it was still a relatively small space, and he dared not offend the Marquis’s woman.

“What do you mean you don’t dare, hurry up, get in.”

Qi Yue called out, and pointed to another person who seemed somewhat astute.

“And you, get in as well.”

The two men looked at each other, and Hei San didn’t dare to delay any longer, jumping into the basket first.

Only once inside did he realize the basket wasn’t empty; there were even stranger things.

Five oddly colored stools, something resembling a control stick, connected to a strange device above the basket.

It was all incomprehensible to him, and he didn’t even dare to touch it.

“Master, what is this?” Hei San couldn’t hold back any longer, if he didn’t ask, his curiosity was going to explode.

“This is called a hot air balloon. With this, you won’t have to go through the trouble of climbing mountains to deliver messages. You can reach Yecheng by just sitting in this basket.”

“What?” Hei San’s forehead crumpled in disbelief.

He hadn’t misheard, had he?

Why did it feel like his master was talking nonsense?

But then he remembered the rumors that their master was the person who had mysteriously emptied the Donggao Imperial Palace and whose origins and identity were a mystery, and he thought it might not be nonsense after all.

He felt around the basket.

The basket was sturdy, definitely real, but he couldn’t recognize anything else!

It seemed confirmed then; his master really wasn’t human but a fairy.

For a moment, his body became stiff, with only his eyeballs still able to move.

“What, you don’t believe it?” Qi Yue looked at him with a smile on her face. “I called you two up here to see who can learn to pilot this hot air balloon. Whoever learns first, gets to fly it.”

As she spoke, she looked towards the other person who was obviously also stiff.

“What’s your name?”

The intelligent-looking Hei Shun pressed his chapped lips together and knelt down with a thud.

“In response to the master’s words, this subordinate is Hei Shun.”

Qi Yue hurriedly told him to stand up, and nodded her head.

“That ‘Shun’ is a good name, and I have a feeling you’ll definitely be able to learn.”

Hei San grew anxious and immediately knelt as well.

“Master, I can learn too!”

After all, he was the first one called to learn this so-called hot air balloon!

Qi Yue chuckled.

“It’s good if you can learn, you can fly it too!”

Hei San glared at Hei Shun.

Just wait, he would definitely learn it first!

Hei Shun also glared back, unyielding, as if to say, the basket was his, and he was determined to pilot it.

Qi Yue saw the surreptitious competition between the two but decided not to worry about it.

It was good that they were competitive!

She was more worried that neither of these fools would be able to learn, or that they would struggle greatly with the task!

After all, even she, as a highly educated intellectual, took some time to master the technique.

And these two were nowhere near as talented as Zhao Xiyan!

Qi Yue first explained the principles of hot air balloon flight to them briefly. As the sky gradually darkened, not drawing too much attention, she started to maneuver the hot air balloon to ascend slowly.

This was her first time operating the contraption in this world, so she was extra cautious.

While managing the controls, she explained the process to them, and soon the hot air balloon was floating in midair.

Hei San and Hei Shun, sitting in the bamboo basket, watched the rooftops below moving farther and farther away, both clenching their fists tightly.

Qi Yue glanced at them with a smile.

“Nervous? That’s normal, especially for a first time.”

Hei San and Hei Shun rubbed the sweat off their palms, nervously saying, “Subordinates still don’t quite understand, we don’t know how to land.”

“No rush, feel the experience first, I’ll teach everything step by step soon.”

Qi Yue continued to pilot the hot air balloon upwards, quickly reaching the border of the southeast line.
