Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers-Chapter 311 - Plan

Chapter 311: Chapter 311 Plan

After breakfast, Qi Yue personally escorted Song Gensheng out of the city gate toward Nanling.

Faced with the disguised Song Gensheng, the soldiers at the city gate simply glanced at him and let him go without any obstruction.

Afterward, Qi Yue rushed to Northern Ridge overnight.

She had already inquired about it last night.

Her adoptive father, Chu Yuntian, was not in immediate danger of losing his life.

His family was being monitored by Hu Keqing, being used as bait just waiting for her to come and rescue them.

...

Therefore, she planned to wait a while longer and rescue them after she had arranged everything properly.

Her next step in the plan was to find Guan Yidao.

This was the season for transporting exiled criminals to Northern Ridge, and she had already gathered information on this while in Capital City.

This year, Guan Yidao was personally in charge of the transport, and judging by the dates, he should have already arrived at Northern Ridge.

At this point, Qi Yue had nothing left to consider, or rather, she didn’t want to consider anything else.

She directly released the White Rhino, Lightning, from her space and rode it toward Northern Ridge.

Lightning lived up to its name, and once it really started running, even if someone saw it on the road, it was nothing more than a streak of white light.

Now, with the situation being urgent, she had to quickly take control of Longnan County Government to investigate the poisoners mentioned by Qing Nanzun, to prevent a major disaster.

But before that, she had to take control of the Longnan Army and eliminate the father and son of the Hu Family.

In doing so, she would also be eliminating worries for Zhao Xiyan.

If Zhao Xiyan and the Donggao Army clashed and Hu Keqing suddenly made a move, it would be troublesome, especially now that he had not only the original 150,000 Longnan Army troops, but also an additional 300,000 new recruits.

Of course, with her current abilities, sneaking into Hu Residence and killing Hu Keqing and Hu Chengxuan wouldn’t be a problem, but before that, she needed to take control of the 150,000 Longnan Army troops.

After all, the Hu family father and son had controlled the Longnan Army for many years and were sure to have their confidants scattered throughout; there could be those who were extremely loyal or those with great ambition.

If the Hu family father and son were to die and these people took the opportunity to cause chaos, it would be even more troublesome.

Of course, taking control of the 150,000 Longnan Army troops wasn’t an easy task; relying solely on Song Gensheng and the other two men would be very difficult, and so she needed to arrange for an ambush.

—An ambush that could truly shake the faith of the Longnan Army.

Only Guan Yidao could accomplish this task.

Firstly, he was originally a Lieutenant General in the Longnan Army, and many people in the army knew him, which would facilitate persuasion.

Secondly, he was determined to uncover the mystery behind Qi Yunzhang’s death, and knowing that Qi Yunzhang’s death was related to Hu Chengxuan, he had no reason not to help.

Moreover, even if Guan Yidao still remained loyal to the corrupt and decadent Beiyuan Dynasty, she would make him an ally.

As Qi Yue rode on, she perfected the entire plan in her mind.

Before she knew it, Lightning had brought her to Northern Ridge.

The third step of the plan was to find Qu Wei and her master, Huang Zai’an.

When the Hu father and son acted against Huang Zai’an and the others, Qu Wei happened to be at the medicine shop, and by escorting them to escape, he essentially opposed Hu Keqing and became one of those being pursued as well.

Therefore, the supervision site in Northern Ridge was now under the control of the Hu family.

Qi Yue hid in a big tree outside the supervision site and saw Guan Yidao finish the handover with the site and then said something to a few Government Officials before heading toward a general store by the roadside.

A moment later, he came out holding a flask of alcohol, staggering into the depths of the forest.

Seeing that no one was around, Qi Yue flashed down from the tree and followed him.

About a Shichen later, Guan Yidao kept walking, and as the sky darkened, he was still walking.

Just as Qi Yue was becoming impatient, the terrain suddenly changed.

A huge cliff was hidden behind a patch of forest, taller than even the trees with unseen canopies.

Just when Qi Yue was wondering about this place, she saw Guan Yidao suddenly kneel toward the cliff and shout skyward, “Big brother, Guan Yidao is here to see you!”

Then he lay his face on the ground and started to weep loudly.

“Big brother….”

Qi Yue was shocked to her core.

Everyone knew that Qi Yunzhang had died in battle at Longnan Ridge and his body was never found.

Not even the returning army casket sent back to the Capital contained his remains, just his usual clothing.

Guan Yidao’s long journey to this place to pay his respects—could it be that Qi Yunzhang’s body was actually buried here after his death?

Guan Yidao cried bitterly for a while before finally stopping. He sat on the ground and began to speak.

“Big brother, it’s my lack of ability. I’ve wasted all these years, only managing to gather some fragmented information, and still, I can’t do anything.”

“Big brother, open your eyes and look. The ones who harmed you are all holding high positions with rich rewards, and I’m truly out of options!”

“Big brother, after this mission, I don’t plan to go back. I’ll just stay here and keep you company. What do you say, is that okay?”

“…”

Each time Guan Yidao muttered something, he poured a mouthful of wine onto the ground and then took one himself.

This scene left Qi Yue with mixed feelings.

As a modern soul, sometimes she found it hard to understand some of the people and events here.

Take Guan Yidao in front of her, for example. Even if his brotherly affection with Qi Yunzhang was strong, to maintain such depth after nearly ten years was truly rare.

As the saying goes, to have one true friend in life is enough.

Her adoptive father was down on his luck, harmed in the prime of his life when he should have been accomplishing great things, but having a brother like Guan Yidao was worth it.

Right, Chu Yuntian also held an unforgettable memory of her adoptive father.

Qi Yue wondered just how good a person her adoptive father must have been to have garnered so many friends.

It truly was remarkable!

Seeing that Guan Yidao had finished speaking and was now staring blankly at the sky leaning against the stone wall, Qi Yue emerged from behind the big tree.

The sound of her footsteps startled the now heavily intoxicated Guan Yidao, who sat up abruptly.

“Who’s there?”

His voice was cold and sharp, as if steeped in poison.

Qi Yue gave a slight smile.

Good, he lacked the sharp vigilance that he was supposed to have; such people were reassuring to use.

“Commander Guan, I trust you’ve been well.”

“Qi Yue?” Guan Yidao hesitated for a moment before quickly calling out her name.

Qi Yue walked closer step by step until she could see Guan Yidao’s haggard and fierce face clearly.

The scar from the knife wound on his forehead was still distinctly visible.

“It’s me.”

Guan Yidao initially looked incredulous, but his expression quickly hardened.

“How did you get here?”

Qi Yue’s lips quirked slightly.

This guy still wanted to save face, trying to act like an elder in front of her.

She wouldn’t allow it.

“Of course, I followed you here. Starting from the supervision office, it’s been nearly two shichen, I reckon. Everything that needed to be seen and heard, I’ve seen and heard it all. Guan Big Brother, you really do have deep and righteous feelings for my dad!”

“You… it’s been two years, how can you still be like this…” Guan Yidao looked at her with a gaze that carried a sense of exasperated concern.

Qi Yue couldn’t help laughing.

“What’s two years? I’m only nineteen, not ninety.”

Guan Yidao frowned and pulled her toward the base of the cliff.

As they got closer, she noticed a protruding stone tomb-like structure hidden in the wild grass that, if not looked at carefully, could be mistaken for a small hill.

“Come, pay your respects to your father.”

“Is my father’s body really buried here? I thought they said nothing was found?”

Guan Yidao sighed deeply and kneeled down.

“It was me, I buried him here.”

Qi Yue frowned.

This was a bit off.

Regardless of any grievances, shouldn’t a fallen general’s soul be allowed to return to his homeland, as was proper?

Why would Guan Yidao, his brother, do this?
