Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers-Chapter 351 - "I’m praising you.
Chapter 351: Chapter 351 “I’m praising you.
“Hmm,” Zhao Xiyan nodded, “It was Hei San’s idea.”
It turned out that previously, when they used hot air balloons to patrol the Donggao Camp, they were caught by some Donggao soldiers because they played too much with the hanging basket.
In a moment of urgency, Hei San had opened the safety airbag at the bottom of the hot air balloon, and only then did he manage to bounce the Donggao soldiers off.
After that, Hei San had this idea and brought it up.
At first, they simply tied a knife under the hanging basket, but when they experimented with it, the results were astonishing.
At that time, they flew the hot air balloon over the top of the tree canopy, and the branches they touched were all snapped off.
The scene was spectacular.
Inspired, they started to think of ways to modify the hanging basket.
They covered it with iron sheets and installed round sawtooth armor to make it more lethal.
Although this made the hot air balloon heavier, preventing it from carrying five people at once, it granted the pilot a combat power far exceeding that of ten people.
With only one person, as long as the pilot was skilled enough, he could control the hot air balloon with ease.
To step back, even if the hot air balloon unfortunately landed during combat, the safety airbag outside would be enough to ensure that a person would not die.
It greatly reduced the mortality rate of the soldiers.
After hearing this, Qi Yue couldn’t help but admire it.
“Talent is found amongst the people! I really underestimated them, I thought it was impressive enough that they could pilot it!”
Indeed, her original intention was to use the hot air balloon to send a message or conduct a small-scale sneak attack, but she hadn’t expected Hei San and the others to come up with so many uses.
“This is the new world brought by Yueyue,” Zhao Xiyan said, his beautiful face filled with longing.
“Hei San and the others also want to improve the operating system of the hot air balloon, but they are hampered by the lack of suitable tools!”
A bright light flashed in Qi Yue’s mind.
This wasn’t a matter of tools; it was a matter of knowledge.
Clearly, the brains of these ancients were not incapable of understanding science and technology; on the contrary, because of their focus and seriousness, they could possibly be more receptive to modern scientific knowledge.
What if she gave them some basic knowledge to learn?
With their ability to extrapolate from one case to many, they were definitely capable of mastering it!
At this thought, she became excited!
Turning to Zhao Xiyan, she said eagerly, “Zhao Xiyan, last time you learned to fly a plane so quickly. Why don’t I give you some books on this subject to try? If you can understand physics, mathematics, electronics, you can modify whatever you want, and I can get you the tools and materials anyway!”
“Sure,” Zhao Xiyan agreed, nodding continuously, clearly having longed for this.
“Yueyue mentioned that she went to school when she was young; I also want to experience Yueyue’s modern world!”
“Alright, I’ll find them for you later.”
“Speaking of which, we’ll need to add a library to the manor.”
“Absolutely!”
“….”
The battle below continued.
Night gradually fell upon the earth.
Some had already quietly left, scattering in all directions.
On the side of Gao, Ai, Pang, and Shou, they started off going wild with killing.
But as the battle progressed, more and more Donggao soldiers chose to surrender.
There were even some who had thrown away their weapons early on, kneeling on the ground with their hands raised high waiting for Zhao Xiyan’s men to come take them in!
Song Yuanzhao had gone mad; he swung his broadsword, constantly ordering his soldiers to charge forward.

Climb up to the city walls, climb onto the hot air balloons filled with blades.
Batch after batch of soldiers fell, dying…
Finally, when a hot air balloon flew toward Song Yuanzhao, Song Qingshan knocked Song Yuanzhao down with one punch, pinning him to the ground, and narrowly escaped death.
After fleeing in the dark for several shichen, the father and son, with a few hundred remaining soldiers, escaped to Luohu Mountain to the west of Yecheng.
Originally, Gao and the others still wanted to continue pursuing with their troops, but Zhao Xiyan told them all to come back.
“After this battle, even if Song Yuanzhao survives, he will seek death. There’s no need to press too hard,” he said.
Qi Yue also felt that what he said was right.
After all, he was the Fox King of Donggao.
With a famous reputation spanning decades, now that his army of 500,000 had been completely annihilated, he had no face to live on.
Moreover, they weren’t particularly concerned whether the Fox King could survive or not.
Of the five hundred thousand-strong army, more than a hundred thousand had died, tens of thousands had fled, and the rest had all surrendered.
Qi Yue was actually worrying about Zhao Xiyan!
“What do you plan to do with these prisoners? If they are sent back, who knows, they might enlist again.”
Zhao Xiyan smiled faintly, his eyes landing on the map in front of him.
“Since they are unwilling to leave, then let them stay. However, they must prove their loyalty!”
Qi Yue blinked and leaned in under the torchlight to look at the map in his hands.
Her gaze immediately fell upon Wang Mountain to the north of Yecheng.
Wang Mountain was the last line of defense for Yanjing, the Capital City of the Beiyuan Kingdom.
Easy to defend but hard to attack, it was truly the place most dreaded by strategists.
On its three sides—south, north, and west—lay the three major provinces of Qingnan, Qingbei, and Qingxi, respectively. They were like three chess pieces, tightly encircling Wang Mountain.
If the troops could make it past Wang Mountain, it would mean the end of the entire Donggao.
But these locations were not only the three wealthiest provinces of Donggao, but they also were places that were easy to defend and difficult to conquer.
For hundreds of years since the establishment of Donggao, there had never been a record of losing Wang Mountain.
On the contrary, even the militarily strongest Nanyue army hadn’t dared to push their forces to Wang Mountain for centuries.
“Do you mean to let these people attack Wang Mountain?”
“Mhm.” Zhao Xiyan curled his lips playfully, “We can’t just let those who are loyal to us throw away their lives aimlessly, right?”
She didn’t know if it was an illusion.
Qi Yue felt that Zhao Xiyan at that moment had the aura of a demon god from hell.
Every angle of his eyes and brows, every frown and smile was like a blooming black poppy flower.
Dangerous, mysterious, ruthless…
“Good thing I’m not your enemy, huh!”
She couldn’t help but mutter.
“What is Yueyue saying?” Zhao Xiyan folded the map in his hands and looked at her with a smile.
Qi Yue hurriedly shook her head.
“I was praising you.”
“What praise? Why not say it out loud for me to hear?” Zhao Xiyan seemed quite interested.
Qi Yue had no choice but to randomly blurt out a few words.
“I said, when you’re kind, you’re like a deity, but when you’re fierce, you’re like a devil.”
Zhao Xiyan paused for a moment, then laughed softly.
“…I’m only kind to Yueyue.”
“….”
At that time, the battle had completely ended, and the four generals, varying in height and build, arrived covered in blood to report the final results.
Zhao Xiyan informed the four of his next intentions and instructed them to properly accommodate the prisoners!
After the two descended from the city tower and returned to the residence, it was already past the 9-11 PM period.
With the warfare concluded, Yecheng had once again settled into tranquility, and many of the citizens were preparing to rest.
But there was still a portion that was anxious.
They awaited the next morning to go outside the city to see if their family members were among those captured soldiers.
Of course, these concerns were not for the two of them to worry about at the moment.
Back at the residence, a courtyard decked out in red and green reminded them that the wedding night was just ahead.
As it was her first time, Qi Yue was somewhat nervous.
Zhao Xiyan noticed her unease and said he would go to the study to remove his armor, also ordering the servants to prepare a new banquet.
Seizing this rare moment to catch her breath, Qi Yue hurriedly returned to her room.
No, it was now their bridal chamber.
Thinking that soon they would be drinking from the wedding cups, and after that, they would truly be married, Qi Yue began to feel a sense of anticipation.
The servants of the residence were, of course, considerate and had already prepared hot water. Qi Yue didn’t go to the space to bathe but instead bashfully entered the bathroom.
