Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers-Chapter 340 - News from Nanling

Chapter 340: Chapter 340 News from Nanling

Qu Wei chuckled.

“Otherwise, how could it be said that my little sister Yueyue is the most understanding?”

“…So, what exactly do you want?” Qi Yue asked seriously, “I can give you what I have, but I can’t if I don’t.”

“Of course, my sister has it,” Qu Wei rubbed his hands together. “I want that white thing from the other day, the one that can form ice…”

“What do you want it for?”

Seeing that Qi Yue didn’t seem opposed, Qu Wei became bolder.

...

“Sis, I was just thinking, this thing is really great. Isn’t it hot here? If we freeze a box of it during summer and put it in the room, how refreshing would that be…”

“You’ve got quite a business mind.” Qi Yue was somewhat surprised, “But didn’t you ever think about having a cup of icy fruit juice or a sweet popsicle in summer?”

Qu Wei looked astonished.

“What… can that stuff be eaten too?”

“That kind can’t, but I can give you edible ones.”

“Great, that’s great, then give it to me quick!”

Qi Yue took out a bottle of edible saltpeter from her small bag and handed it over.

“This kind can be eaten. You’ll have your ice slush and popsicles by next year.”

“All right then, sis, don’t you worry,” Qu Wei took the bottle and started to babble again.

“Sis, isn’t this too little? Can’t you give me a big bag?”

“You want to eat yourself to death? This stuff is precious, you only need to stir a little bit in.”

Hearing that the item was expensive, Qu Wei immediately stowed it away contently.

“Hehe, when I’m free, I’ll try it out,” he said.

“Do whatever you want. Now, can you get to work and bring the people you’ve found to let me have a look?”

Qu Wei smiled mischievously and stretched out his hand towards Qi Yue again.

“Hold on, don’t rush, Yueyue, I still want another item,” he said.

Qi Yue gave him a look.

“Can’t you just say everything in one go?”

Qu Wei touched his nose, “I was afraid you’d disagree.”

“Well then, let’s hear it. What else do you want?”

Qu Wei hemmed and hawed for a while before saying, “…that, could you give me one of those laser guns from last time?”

Seeing Qi Yue frown as if she wasn’t agreeing, he quickly explained, “Sister Yueyue, I want it mainly for safety. Although Hu Keqing is already dead, I always feel like his accomplices are watching us in the shadows. You have Hei Lie to protect you, so of course, you don’t need to worry. But I’m really afraid…”

Qi Yue thought about it and still gave him one.

Initially, she wouldn’t have given him another since he lost the last one, but what he said made sense, so she felt that she should.

In case this guy gets caught again, it would be troublesome for her.

“Don’t lose it this time, you know the consequences.”

Qu Wei sincerely promised he would never lose it, and even if he did, he wouldn’t tell anyone how to use it, then he happily tucked the laser gun into his pocket.

With the items in hand, he proceeded efficiently, quickly bringing in a shrewd-looking young man.

Behind the young man were twenty or so women with various appearances, said to be the most useful servants from the Longnan County Government.

Upon seeing Qi Yue, they all bowed their heads in greeting.

“We pay our respects to Divine Doctor Qi.”

Qi Yue quickly evaluated them and felt they were all acceptable, giving Qu Wei a satisfied look.

When this big brother really gets down to business, he indeed gets things done!

She kept ten of them at the estate and sent the rest to the medical center. Rishengchang’s servants were numbered, so there was no need for her to worry about that.

With the servants taking care of the estate, it quickly returned to a state of cleanliness.

As for Rishengchang, Qu Wei also hired the local villagers to start demolishing the old site.

The medicine shop was sorted out and reopened after half a day’s work.

Everything was in place, and Qi Yue planned to make a trip to the Hu Residence.

The whereabouts of the poisoner were always a thorn in her side, and she wouldn’t find peace unless she found them.

Now, the Hu Residence was under the control of Chu Yuntian’s men and was completely surrounded.

She had Hei Lie inquire, and he reported that Chu Yuntian was busy dealing with the arrangement of the new soldiers stationed within The Great Wall and couldn’t attend to this matter, but he couldn’t let anyone from the Hu Residence escape either, so he put them under surveillance.

According to Hei Lie, Chu Yuntian didn’t allow anyone to enter or leave without his permission, which didn’t surprise Qi Yue.

She guessed that her dear adoptive father must have already searched the Hu Residence.

He must remember what happened ten years ago and worried that Hu Chengxuan might have left something behind.

The prohibition on entry likely meant that they hadn’t found anything, but still didn’t feel comfortable.

He probably suspected that the women in the inner courtyard knew something and therefore didn’t allow anyone to contact them.

With his status, it was probably not appropriate for him to handle it personally, so he let the matter sit.

Qi Yue snorted coldly.

He didn’t consider that after being robbed twice, what could possibly be left in the study?

Under these circumstances, she could only go quietly at night.

She had planned to go that very evening, but unexpectedly, in the afternoon, news came from Nanling.

It was from Guan Yidao and Song Gensheng.

The two had successfully made acquaintances and were collaborating quite pleasantly.

Guan Yidao said that the old soldiers he had contacted were willing to follow Qi Yue’s commands, even if it meant renaming the Longnan Army to the Qi Family Army.

With the support of the Zhang brothers, Song Gensheng was becoming quite influential in the military.

In recent times, Nanyue’s ships had come to harass them twice, and Song Gensheng, relying on his invulnerability to weapons, completely disregarded the enemy’s arms and charged forward without obeying commands, resulting in him successfully repelling them both times.

Such a headstrong and straightforward soldier was rare, and Song Gensheng rapidly gained renown within the Nanyue Army.

Naturally, his fame spread in the Longnan Army as well.

By this time, the news of Hu Chengxuan’s death had reached the military, and his younger brother, Deputy General Hu Chengfeng, took control of the troops with the support of the two Commanders, stabilizing the situation.

With a new officer in position, there were always some personnel changes, such as promoting confidants and the like.

As a result, the green Song Gensheng was noticed and became an Imperial Guard Officer by Hu Chengfeng’s side.

Reading this, Qi Yue couldn’t help but clap and laugh.

“Well done, truly worthy of being my brother, Qi Yue.”

Now, she had control of a large part of the Longnan Army, just waiting for Chu Yuntian’s situation to resolve, and then wouldn’t the whole of Longnan be in her hands?

Seeing that Guan Yidao had asked about the next plan at the end of the letter, Qi Yue quickly took out paper to recount recent events and instructed them to lie low and be ready.

Although the incident at the Longnan County Government must have been spread, Nanling was a remote place and the news had only happened two days ago and might not have reached them yet; even if it did within these days, it would have likely been so distorted it would be unrecognizable.

In case Hu Chengfeng spread some rumors to control the situation, which could be detrimental to her, it might mislead Guan Yidao and the others.

Moreover, considering the current situation, she didn’t believe she could rest easy yet.

Hu Chengxuan and his son had controlled the Longnan Army for ten years, and there was definitely a stubborn influence within it.

Even if people like Song Gensheng swayed many to their side, there would still be those who couldn’t be reached.

Such people would at least make up half of the military, so she had to be extra careful.

Moreover, the current Beiyuan Court was riddled with holes, strife was everywhere, and there were not a few local powers declaring themselves kings. Qi Yue guessed that Hu Chengfeng and a few key people under his command surely wouldn’t miss this opportunity.

They also had the added chance to avenge Hu Chengxuan and his nephew!

After finishing the letter, Qi Yue had Hei Lie find a Black Feather Guard who knew how to operate a hot air balloon to take the messenger on the road immediately and teach the other two how to handle the hot air balloon along the way.

As the hot air balloon ascended, the sky was just darkening, and Qi Yue watched the large blue and white object rise abruptly, praying silently for everything to go smoothly.

At the same time, on a tower of the Governor’s Office, Chu Yuntian was also looking up at the sky.

In the darkness, the barely discernible hot air balloon looked incredibly awe-inspiring, like a gigantic beast charging into the sky.

Chu Yuntian, considering what he was looking at, suddenly let out an “Ah!” and fell backward.
