Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers

Chapter 288: Chapter 288 "What's the situation? Who provoked your master?

This escape threw the entire camp into chaos.

An army of three hundred thousand was no small number, although only two hundred thousand soldiers from the Donggao Army were stationed here, their flight was tantamount to a massive tidal wave.

Some who ran slowly, or were short, were trampled or injured!

Moreover, as these people ran, they shouted, which only caused more noise and prompted even more people to run.

"Run fast, there's no food left, it's all burned up!"

"Run fast, back to Yecheng!"

"Back to Yecheng..."

Seeing this turmoil, Qi Yue knew that their plan had succeeded, and she hurried towards the central command tent.

With the chaos breaking out here, she worried that Song Chengye might just kill Lou Chuhe and his family.

She soon arrived at the location and from a distance saw the command tent engulfed in soaring flames, already half burned, surrounded by a chaotic crowd dispersing in all directions.

Qi Yue quickly looked for Zhao Xiyan, but then she saw him emerging from an area of flames, which startled her.

Upon closer inspection, she saw him clad in black, enveloped in red light, resembling a god of death from the dark night, capturing everyone's gaze as soon as he appeared.

"Zhao...."

Qi Yue was about to call out to him in her excitement, but fortunately, she remembered she was in the enemy camp and promptly shut her mouth.

However, at that moment everyone was frantically fleeing for their lives, and the camp was as noisy as a morning market magnified tenfold, so nobody cared what she said.

When their eyes met, Qi Yue hurriedly ran over, just in time to see Lou Chuhe and his family of three standing listlessly, with two men in black standing beside them.

The two men, upon seeing Qi Yue, quickly came forward to greet her.

"My lady is safe!"

Noticing it was Zhao Chong and Zhao Tai, she happily asked, "When did you get here?"

The two men exchanged looks and hesitated before answering, "We just arrived, worried that our lord and my lady might need something, so we came over after finishing the outside tasks."

After speaking, they also glanced at Zhao Xiyan's expression.

In fact, the two of them had been following Zhao Xiyan and Qi Yue all the way.

Although they couldn't keep up with Zhao Xiyan's pace, they roughly guessed the intimacy between the two.

They both felt embarrassed for their master!

Especially since Zhao Xiyan had also asked them to lie about coming later.

Despite their confusion, they both complied.

Hearing this, Qi Yue nodded and passed over it without mention, then she suddenly remembered Song Chengye and turned to look at Lou Chuhe's family.

"What about the people in this command tent? Song Chengye wouldn't have just burned to death like that, right? And where is your eldest son? The one called Lou Zhifang?"

In her mind, Lou Chuhe should have mentioned his eldest son Lou Zhifang being in the army as soon as he saw Song Chengye, as that would seem more credible.

This way, the family of four could reunite immediately.

Furthermore, with Zhao Xiyan's men taking action, this could also ensure the safety of their family, how perfect!

Yet, the current situation did not seem like that.

At this moment, the younger son of the Lou family suddenly stepped forward and knelt down.

"To answer Miss Qi, I am Lou Zhifang."

As he spoke, he began to gasp violently, curling into a ball on the ground as though someone was choking him.

Mrs. Lou immediately threw herself on her son, crying loudly, while Lou Chuhe also shouted continuously.

Seeing the dire situation, Qi Yue immediately took out a silver needle and pricked the young Lou a few times, then also checked his pulse.

Upon diagnosis, her expression slightly changed.

This was the first time she had seen such a severe case of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease without it having developed into cor pulmonale, a miracle considering how meticulously Mr. and Mrs. Lou cared for him, preventing the condition from worsening.

Mrs. Lou had long heard of Qi Yue's miraculous healing powers, and seeing her now with the silver needle and taking her son's pulse, hope was already shining in her heart.

He could no longer care about much else and immediately fell to the ground, begging with a sorrowful voice.

"Miss Qi Yue, please save my child! As long as he lives, my Lou Family will provide offerings for your perpetuity..."

Although Qi Yue was filled with questions at that moment, she knew it was not the time to ask, so she immediately applied a few more needles.

With the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles in action, there was no disappointment.

In an instant, the second son of the Lou family opened his eyes, his features clear, and his breath steady.

Seeing this, Mrs. Lou was about to kneel and kowtow again, but Qi Yue quickly stopped her.

"Mrs. Lou, your son's health is not suited for staying in this chaotic place; if he doesn't leave soon, his illness might worsen. Please, leave quickly, and we can discuss this further later."

Upon hearing this, the Lou couple quickly expressed their thanks. It was then that Qi Yue noticed they were all stained with quite a bit of blood, and she too was somewhat astonished,

As she watched the three of them leave, Qi Yue quickly turned to Zhao Xiyan, and anxiously inquired, "Xiyan, what is going on with this family? Why do they seem so strange?"

"Zhao Chong, you explain."

Zhao Xiyan dropped a sentence and turned his face away, looking quite displeased.

Only then did Qi Yue notice something was off with him!

His eyes were downcast, and his expression was not like usual, as if he were angry?

Qi Yue was very puzzled.

Usually, if she asked something, Zhao Xiyan would eagerly respond at length, but now he clearly didn't want to say another word!

"What's the matter? Who has provoked your lord?" Qi Yue couldn't help but ask Zhao Chong!

Zhao Chong glanced back at Zhao Xiyan, noted his even colder demeanor, and was also a bit perplexed.

How could he know what madness his lord was pulling?

Just a few minutes ago, he was teaching them to lie with a smile on his face.

Nothing seemed to have happened in these few minutes!

"No one did," seemingly recalling something, Zhao Chong quickly added, "I'm not quite sure either."

He felt like his lord was angry with his lady lord, but he dared not voice this thought and quickly related the events that had occurred in the central military tent after Qi Yue had left.

Indeed, as Qi Yue had guessed, Lou Chuhe had come to see Song Chengye and talked about his eldest son in the military. Concerned for his son, he brought his entire family to defect.

He even promised to deliver intelligence on Yecheng as soon as the family was reunited.

Song Chengye was overjoyed and immediately sent people to find Lou Chuhe's eldest son.

But with several hundred thousand troops and over a dozen volumes of names, it wasn't easy to find him quickly.

In the meantime, Lou Chuhe spoke highly of Song Chengye, and somehow, the last bodyguard was sent out to retrieve something.

As soon as the bodyguard left, the second son of the Lou family took the opportunity to move forward and kneel, suddenly lunging forward to grasp Song Chengye's legs.

At that moment, Zhao Chong realized something was wrong, so he and Zhao Tai quickly eliminated the guards at the entrance of the tent and charged in.

Before they entered, they heard Lou Chuhe shouting about avenging his son. The sight inside the tent also left them greatly shocked.

Inside the tent, the second son and Mrs. Lou of the Lou family were each clutching one of Song Chengye's legs, their entire bodies pressed against him.

Lou Chuhe, on the other hand, was pressing down on Song Chengye's face with one arm, while his other hand held a knife, ruthlessly stabbing Song Chengye.

"Seeing that Song Chengye was already dead and that all three members of the Lou family appeared to be in a frenzy, I rushed forward, took the knife, and pulled all three away. Then the tent started to burn, and Zhao Tai and I managed to carry everyone out. As for the rest, Lou Chuhe didn't get to say, and we did not get the chance to ask," explained Zhao Chong.

Pointing to a nearby depression in the ground, he said,

"Song Chengye is over there; would you like to take a look, my lady?"

Qi Yue glanced at Zhao Xiyan, who was still wearing a sullen expression, and shook her head.

"Let it be. We'll have someone tidy him up later and send him back with a few soldiers from the Donggao Army. After all, he was a prince of a nation; even in death, we shouldn't be too hasty and risk criticism."

Saying this, she walked a few steps closer to Zhao Xiyan and asked with a smile, "Marquis, do you find my arrangements suitable?"
