Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers-Chapter 384 - This Woman Is Worth a Thousand Troops!

Chapter 384: Chapter 384 This Woman Is Worth a Thousand Troops!

At this time, the weather had warmed up, and spring had arrived, making it the perfect time for work!

A day later, the notice was posted.

The news that Qi Yue was going to build a drug factory and was recruiting a large number of refugees to work and earn money spread quickly.

The news went from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred; in less than half a month, the number of people who came to settle in Longnan County Government had reached tens of thousands.

Qi Yue simply divided these people into several groups.

Some built the drug factory, others repaired roads, and still others strengthened the city walls…

After all, she had an abundance of Space Currency and could buy large amounts of cement and concrete.

The goal was to ensure that every refugee who came seeking refuge had work to do and could earn money to feed their families.

A month passed, and the entire Longnan County Government had undergone a complete transformation, everything looked brand new.

The new drug factory was also under construction.

This series of events, once it reached other countries, immediately sparked a series of speculations and discussions among various imperial courts.

Donggao Kingdom:

“Your Majesty, please allow your servant to retire and return home, to preserve my life!”

“Great General, why such words? Have I not ordered you to lead the troops to attack Beiyuan’s Dengzhou? Once you take Dengzhou, I will make you a marquis!”

“Your Majesty, the urgent matter at hand is to discuss submission, not to dispatch troops!”

“Silence! I, Donggao, submit and surrender to a mere Beiyuan? What use do I have for you all?”

“Your Majesty, it’s not to Beiyuan, but to Zhao Xiyan! Now that he has acquired Longnan County Government, the number of troops under his command has already reached four hundred thousand…”

“A mere four hundred thousand is hardly worth mentioning!”

“Your Majesty, have you forgotten about Qi Yue? Nobody knows where this woman comes from, and now Yecheng has been fortified like an iron barrel with high and thick walls, and there’s even an airport outside the city; who knows when Zhao Xiyan’s people might quietly appear in Yanjing…”

Upon hearing this, the Western Chu Emperor was instantly petrified!

The events of the past were still vivid in his memory—the Jade Seal lost, the harem and private treasury emptied, lethal weapons appearing, killing people instantly…

He had barely emerged from the nightmare of those days, but still, people continued to report these strange events.

Everything was proven to be the work of Qi Yue, a woman worth a thousand troops!

As long as that woman existed, his Donggao would never find peace.

Meanwhile, Western Chu and Nanyue were also troubled by Qi Yue and Zhao Xiyan.

They hoped that after Zhao Xiyan took over Longnan County Government, he would stop and live peacefully.

But at the same time, they knew that was impossible.

After all, if they were in his shoes, with the power to unify the four countries, they would not allow themselves to stop either!

Now, among these four countries—Western Chu, Donggao, and Nanyue—the strongest in terms of power was Nanyue, and the weakest was Donggao.

Donggao still had some self-awareness; some officials, in order to protect themselves, were considering submitting and surrendering, whereas Western Chu and Nanyue only saw the immense value in Qi Yue.

Qin Zhongyu was a fox.

Ever since their last encounter in Dongjiang, he had kept Qi Yue in his thoughts.

His original plan was to take advantage of Beiyuan’s instability to seize Dongjiang, but he didn’t expect the Governor of Dongjiang, Murong Mingyue, to be well prepared, forcing him to bypass Dongjiang and head north instead.

However, gaining such a small advantage was not to his satisfaction.

When he heard that Nanyue’s fleet had been held up along the line of Nanling in Longnan, he had an idea.

That day, Qin Zhongyu advised his Emperor father to take a two-pronged approach.

On the one hand, they would form an alliance with Nanyue, and on the other, they would reach out to Zhao Xiyan to see if any opportunities could be found.

The Western Chu Emperor immediately agreed and even sent him on a mission to Longnan County Government.

At this moment, Qin Zhongyu was unaware that Qi Yue had already married Zhao Xiyan, and they were deeply in love.

Confidently, he thought that since he had met Qi Yue once in Dongjiang, they would surely engage in a meaningful conversation upon meeting again.

For this reason, he even brought his sister Qin Lingwei along.

Of course, Qi Yue was oblivious to these developments. In recent times, besides continuing her research on active neurons, she also had to manage the affairs of the drug factory.

On his side, Zhao Xiyan was not idle either.

Since taking over Longnan County Government, the time they spent together had been significantly reduced.

It basically just left meals and the evenings.

That evening, as the two were having dinner, Huang Zai’an came hurriedly and plopped down right across from them as soon as he entered.

“What’s with you two, forgetting you have me as a master?”

Huang Zai’an curled his lips and reached out to embrace one of the roasted chickens on the table.

Qi Yue’s lips twitched.

“We didn’t call for you, but here you are, aren’t you?”

“If I hadn’t smelled it, who knows if I would have gotten the chance to eat?” Huang Zai’an rolled his eyes and chomped down a big bite.

This fried chicken was something Qi Yue had ordered from the Space Mall.

It was still fresh and hot when it arrived.

A while back, she had bought dozens for everyone to try, and Huang Zai’an got addicted, incessantly asking for more.

Qi Yue wouldn’t indulge his habit though, having turned him down many times.

Today, it was she who wanted a taste, which is why she bought a few.

She hadn’t expected that as soon as she took them out, he would show up at her door.

“Master, have you got a nose like a dog’s, so sensitive?”

Huang Zai’an gave her a look.

“Is that how you talk to your master? Do you not want that treasure anymore?”

Qi Yue was about to tease some more, but at the mention of treasure, her eyes immediately lit up!

“Master, have you found where it is?”

Huang Zai’an, holding onto a chicken leg and savoring it, seemed reluctant to deal with her.

Qi Yue quickly called out to the maid.

“Bring over that bottle of fine wine.”

She earnestly poured Huang Zai’an a drink, and sure enough, she coaxed the old child into a happy chuckle.

“…My disciple, I’ve deciphered those patterns and know the location of the National Treasure. Given the current circumstances, the time has come to retrieve this treasure…”

Unable to bear Huang Zai’an’s endless chatter, Qi Yue interrupted, “Where is it located?”

Huang Zai’an held out a hand, letting the maid wipe his greasy fingers, and then pulled out a folded map from his chest.

“This is the drawn map of the location, but there might still be some trouble…”

Qi Yue snatched it away and quickly glanced it over.

She was indeed not wrong.

Huang Zai’an, always staying on Longnan Ridge without leaving, had his reasons.

“Master, isn’t this Longnan Ridge? You’ve always lied to me, saying you didn’t know. What’s the real reason? If you don’t make it clear, you’re the one in trouble today!”

At these words, Huang Zai’an stopped eating his fried chicken and his eyes bulged with anger.

“What are you saying? When have I ever deceived you? The late Emperor only asked me to stay in Longnan Ridge, saying that one of us should be in the north and Mo Zhizhi in the south, one to hold the key to deciphering, the other to guard the items. How was I to know it would be in Longnan!”

Qi Yue’s lips twitched.

“That’s it? Then why have you always stayed in Longnan Ridge and not left?”

“Entrusted by people, upholding that trust; since the late Emperor had me stationed here, there must be a reason. Why would I leave!?”

“Even so, you must have guessed early on that the treasure was in Longnan Ridge, which is why you never left, right? Yet you say you didn’t know?!”

“Are the two related? Am I the sort of old man who speaks of guesses?”

“….”

“Yueyue.”

Zhao Xiyan, who had been silent until now, suddenly interrupted their tangle and pointed a finger, delicate as bamboo, at the map.

“Look at this map, getting this National Treasure is going to be a bit troublesome…”

Qi Yue leaned in to have a closer look.

“What’s troublesome about it!?”
