Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers

Chapter 245: Chapter 245: Zhao Xiyan, You Heartless Beast!

Qu Wei saw him leaving and hurriedly followed, calling out.

“Zhao Xiyan, say something, will you!”

“Zhao Xiyan, you can’t be so heartless, at least tell us what to do!”

But Zhao Xiyan just kept walking forward, paying him no heed. Soon, he mounted a horse and rode off, disappearing in a cloud of dust.

Seeing this, Qu Wei felt a chill in his heart, and couldn’t help but chase after the horse, cursing as he went.

“Zhao Xiyan, you bastard! Even though Yueyue doesn’t like you anymore, she is still your lifesaver. How can you be so ruthless!”

“Zhao Xiyan, Zhao Xiyan, you cold-blooded, ungrateful creature! Yueyue must have been blind to have cared for you; I should have just left you paralyzed in bed!”

“Zhao Xiyan…”

But Zhao Xiyan was as if he hadn’t heard a thing and soon vanished without a trace.

Qu Wei sat down on the roadside, his buttocks plonked on the ground, cursing and not knowing what else to do.

The commotion here alarmed the common people who had just returned home. Zhong Dahe, Zhong Qian, Huiniang, and Old Man Zhong hurried over to inquire.

“Master Qu, when will Miss Qi Yue return? Is there any way we can help?”

“Miss Qi Yue saved us; we’d like to do something for her too!”

“…..”

The common people were well-meaning, but they really couldn’t help much!

Qu Wei said a few comforting words and took them to the Governor’s Office, where they could choose their own places to stay.

Some, having no one left at home, simply stayed, joining the team repairing The Great Wall, making money to build their houses, planning to settle in Longnan.

Others hurried home to check on things and then brought their families back with them.

Song Gensheng, who was in charge of the construction of The Great Wall in this area, heard about the situation and couldn’t concentrate on his work, rushing over in a panic.

As soon as he saw Qu Wei, he grabbed him by the neck.

“You son of a bitch, how dare you harm my Sister Yueyue! Believe it or not, I’ll kill you!”

Song Gensheng was strong; he lifted Qu Wei straight into the air!

“No way, Brother Gensheng, if you kill me, then your Sister Yueyue will truly be trapped in Yanjing!”

This sentence successfully spared his life, but Song Gensheng threw him to the ground nonetheless.

“You tell me, how do we save her? If you don’t have a good plan, I’ll still kill you!”

Qu Wei regretted everything in his heart.

If only he had hurried back to the County Government of Longnan where he had some people, it would be better than being beaten up by this brute here!

“Brother Gensheng, don’t rush, I will think of a way!”

Hearing this, Song Gensheng lifted his fist to strike again, and Qu Wei hurriedly called out.

“Zhao Xiyan has come to Longnan. We can go find him. He is powerful with soldiers under his command; he will surely have a way!”

He said this out loud, but sneered in his heart.

That damned Zhao Xiyan had just pretended to be worried for a moment, and now who knows where he had run off to. In the end, it all had to rely on him!

The last time he got beaten up badly by this damn brute because he uttered a bad word about Zhao Xiyan.

Now, it was time to let him see the true colors of Zhao Xiyan!

Sure enough, hearing that Zhao Xiyan had arrived, Song Gensheng’s spirits were immediately lifted.

“The Marquis is here; let’s go find him now!”

Qu Wei quickly got up from the ground and exaggeratedly said, “As soon as he heard your Sister Yueyue was trapped in Yanjing, he ran off. He’s just a hypocrite, and I don’t even know where to find him!”

“You’re lying, the Marquis is not that kind of person!”

Song Gensheng immediately got angry, throwing a punch at Qu Wei.

Instantly, Qu Wei’s nose was crooked, and the blood flowed out profusely.

Seeing Song Gensheng’s fist coming at him again, he hastily shouted.

“Song Gensheng, do you still want to save your Sister Yueyue?”

Song Gensheng, preoccupied with Qi Yue, immediately stopped his punch on hearing this.

“Aren’t you saying you don’t have a plan?”

“When did I say I was out of ideas.” Qu Wei, holding his bleeding nose, hoarsely said, “You can come with me back to the County Government of Longnan. I have people there. We can find someone, then figure out a plan to rescue her in Yanjing! What do you think?”

“Agreed.”

The two reached an agreement and immediately set out to return to the Longnan County Government.

Chu Yunfei had already selected three thousand elite soldiers, waiting for Qu Wei to arrive.

Qu Wei’s men also arrived swiftly.

After all, he had been managing Northern Ridge for over a decade. Although he was only a minor overseer, he had secretly cultivated some followers—not many, but over a hundred.

Once everything was ready, several people were discussing how to rescue Qi Yue in the Prefectural Office when they suddenly heard a commotion outside.

“Go see what’s happening?”

Soon, the servant went and then hurried back, entering with a panicked expression.

“My lord, it’s not good! Hu Keqing is leading troops to surround the Prefectural Office.”

“Hu Keqing?” Chu Yunfei was somewhat surprised.

This father and son duo had been training troops in Nanling lately; how did they suddenly appear here?

“What does he want?”

The servant gasped for breath, “He says he has orders to capture a rebel!”

“Orders? Whose orders is he following?”

“He said it’s from the Great General Hu Chengxuan!”

Two months ago, the Imperial Court had already named Hu Chengxuan the Great General of the Guidon, allowing him control over the entire military affairs of Longnan County. Any personnel movements had to be approved by him, even the Prefectural Governor was no exception!

If not for the fact that the work on The Great Wall had gained the Imperial Court’s approval, he, as the Prefectural Governor, might have had to step down by now!@@novelbin@@

Chu Yunfei’s face turned cold with anger, “What rebels could there possibly be in the honorable Prefectural Office? Tell him to leave!”

“I said the same, but he refuses, saying that if you dare to deploy troops to Donggao, then you are the rebel,” the servant replied.

Chu Yunfei was stunned; he had not anticipated that the Hu family, father and son, would also be aware of this matter.

This was clearly them seeking revenge for the way Qi Yue had dealt with them before!

Song Gensheng got angry upon hearing this and suddenly stood up, clenching his fists and heading outside.

“I’m going to kill this Hu bastard!”

Chu Yuntian hurried to stop him.

“Gensheng, you cannot do this. If you kill him, you will truly be causing harm to Qi Yue,” he said.

Qu Wei also quickly tried to persuade him.

“Brother Gensheng, don’t you understand? Hu Keqing’s father is Hu Chengxuan. If you kill him, his father’s one hundred and fifty thousand Longnan Army will be stationed on the border, and your Sister Yueyue really won’t be able to return!”

“Then what do we do? Are we just going to abandon Sister Yueyue?” roared Song Gensheng furiously!

Chu Yunfei and Qu Wei looked at each other, at a loss for what to do.

Originally, the plan between the two was for Chu Yunfei to lead three thousand elite soldiers to harass the Donggao Army from the front, covering Qu Wei as he led men to sneak into Donggao and conduct a covert rescue.

But Hu Keqing clearly already knew about this plan!

Seeing that neither of them was speaking, Song Gensheng became impatient.

“Speak up! If you’re not going to rescue her, I’ll do it alone!” he exclaimed.

As he spoke, he angrily turned toward the door, but Chu Yunfei quickly stopped him.

“Little brother Gensheng, this won’t do. Qi Yue entrusted you to me; I cannot let you act recklessly!”

“Then tell me, what should we do? If you can’t come up with a solution, I’m leaving immediately!”

Song Gensheng glared at Chu Yunfei furiously, showing no regard for his position as Governor of the county.

In this world, he had only ever taken orders from his parents, and after meeting Qi Yue, that list had grown by one more person.

Now that he had no family left, Qi Yue was his only kin.

He could not stand by and watch Qi Yue remain trapped in Yanjing!

Chu Yunfei couldn’t come up with a solution right away and so resorted to trying to calm him down.

“Don’t worry, Gensheng, give me some time; I will definitely think of a way. Qi Yue is also my daughter; I won’t stand by and let the Donggao people bully her!”

These words successfully stabilized Song Gensheng’s emotions, and the three were about to continue discussing their next steps when suddenly, a servant came to report that a letter had been delivered.

Chu Yunfei took the letter and immediately his mood lifted!
