Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 554 Dramatic changes!

It is no longer feasible to leave the palace, and the palace is full of dangers. The safest way at this moment is to find a secluded place to hide.

With Li Zhi's ability, and the fact that the palace covers a vast area with countless pavilions and towers, it is not difficult to hide three people.

But Li Zhi frowned, his eyes sweeping over the piles of corpses on the grass. The deaths of the palace maids and eunuchs were horrific, clearly they had been silenced.

Since the other party could commit crimes in the palace so unscrupulously and even dared to rob the crown prince openly, how could he let go of the emperor who is the supreme ruler?

"Mr. Qiu."

Li Zhi's voice was extremely low, with a hint of solemnity. He said in a deep voice: "These people are ruthless and act without scruples. I'm afraid that Your Majesty is in danger right now."

"No! Father will be fine!"

The little prince suddenly raised his voice, and there was a cry in his tender voice.

His fingers, clutching the hem of his clothes, had turned white from the force he exerted. Although his face was as pale as paper, his eyes were filled with concern for the Emperor. He cried, "Lord Li, can you please save our father?"

Li Zhi looked down at the boy's red eyes, feeling mixed emotions.

The emperor is responsible for the country of Yongguo. If he really encounters an accident, I am afraid that the situation in Yongguo, which has finally stabilized, will fall into chaos again.

By then, even Li Zhi will find it difficult to remain unscathed.

But if he went to rescue the emperor, Mr. Qiu was old and frail, and the prince was young and helpless. If they followed, Li Zhi would not be able to take care of both sides.

But if they were left here, once they were discovered by those people, it would be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.

He had just seen the skills of that group of guards. Even though Gao Song easily killed the leader of the guards in seconds, that was because Gao Song was a martial arts master.

After all, he is the prince's personal eunuch, and his strength and martial arts are first-class.

If it were any other ordinary guards or palace servants, they would not be a match for those traitors at all, not to mention that it is hard to tell how many traitors there are in the palace now.

"Your Highness..."

Li Zhi was about to speak when he was interrupted by the little prince.

As if noticing Li Zhi's hesitation, the little prince suddenly took a step back. He straightened his small body and bowed deeply to Li Zhi.

His movements still carried the awkwardness of a child, yet revealed a seriousness beyond his years: "Lord Li, please go and save our father... Our father... must not be in any harm!"

How could Li Zhi dare to accept the prince's courtesy? He quickly dodged and then stepped forward to support the little prince. He gritted his teeth and said, "It's not that I don't want to save you, but if I go, you two..."

"Just go ahead, I'll take care of the prince..."

Old Qiu suddenly spoke, his face solemn, his old voice filled with unquestionable firmness.

He protected the little prince behind him again. There was no fear on his wrinkled face, but rather a calmness that showed that he was not panicked in the face of danger.

Li Zhi frowned slightly, his gaze lingering on the hunched back of Mr. Qiu for a moment.

He knew that Old Qiu had once been a senior official of the Night Patrol Division, and held a high position. But he was now very old, and even if he had been very powerful in the past, he was no longer as powerful as he once was. Leaving him here with the Crown Prince was a cause for concern.

Li Zhi hesitated and said, "Mr. Qiu...but..."

Old Qiu knew that Li Zhi was worried about him. He grinned and scolded, "You little bastard, you still look down on me? Back then, when I was dominating the Yong Kingdom, you were nowhere to be found!"

Looking at the gleam in Mr. Qiu's eyes, Li Zhi slowly exhaled. He knew that time was precious at this moment. Since Mr. Qiu took the initiative to take on the task of looking after the prince, Li Zhi could only trust him.

Because only in this way can Li Zhi let go and save the emperor.

Without any hesitation, Li Zhi decisively took Mr. Qiu and the little prince to a remote corner where few people went.

After stabilizing himself, Li Zhi took a deep breath and adjusted himself. His aura rippled outward like waves, and the ground beneath his feet also began to ripple.

Li Zhi was practicing the art of transforming into a Qi realm!

Although Li Zhi's magic was suppressed by the country's destiny because he was in the palace, the power of Li Zhi's Qi transformation realm technique was greatly reduced.

But Li Zhi was not going to use magic against the enemy at the moment, so the impact was not great.

Under the influence of Li Zhi's operating domain, the ground began to slowly sink as if it was being kneaded by an invisible big hand.

After a while, a deep pit large enough to accommodate the two of them appeared before them.

Li Zhi looked at the deep pit and nodded with satisfaction. Then he turned to Elder Qiu and the young prince and said, "Prince, Elder Qiu, you two should hide in here first. I'll come back to look for you when I come back to rescue you."

Knowing that the situation was urgent, even the young prince, who had lived a life of luxury since childhood, did not hesitate at all. He followed Old Qiu and jumped into the pit without hesitation.

After seeing them jump into the pit safely, Li Zhi broke off some branches from a nearby tree and covered the deep pit with them, trying to make this hiding place look less conspicuous.

After everything was arranged, Li Zhi whispered to the two people in the pit: "Take care!"

Then he flashed and quickly left this remote corner, disappearing into the shadow of the palace.

 …

At the same time as dramatic changes were taking place in the palace, huge changes like stormy waves were also taking place in the outside world.

First, it’s the military.

In the Yongguo military, a mutiny broke out in the Taowu Camp, whose strength was second only to the Yanghuan Camp and the Qiongqi Camp!

At the time of the incident, Qian Ning, the deputy general of the Taowu Camp, took advantage of the fact that the commander was inspecting the barracks and suddenly attacked. He raised his sword and chopped off the commander's head in an instant!

This bloody and decisive action plunged the entire Taowu camp into shock and chaos.

Immediately afterwards, Qian Ning cooperated with several accomplices lurking among the soldiers, singing the same tune, and quickly took control of the situation by means of coercion and inducement, and took the military power of the Taowu Camp into his pocket.

After seizing the military power, Qian Ning did not hesitate. He attacked quickly as he had planned.

He led the Taowu Camp and captured the neighboring Nanping City with lightning speed and unexpectedly!

However, this series of events happened so suddenly that before the news could even spread, another shocking incident broke out in the Night Tour Division!

There was a rebellion among the various branches of the Night Tour Division!

 …

Leizhou, the city of thunder.

Outside Yeyou Si Bing's dungeon, the smell of blood was spreading through the cracks in the stones.

A figure stood in front of the rusty prison door. The hem of his green suit was stained with dark red blood, and the nine-tailed beast embroidered on his chest looked particularly ferocious in the darkness.

Behind him, two guards lying on the ground were dead, with clean wounds on their necks, obviously killed by a single blow.

"Bang—"

He raised his hand and pushed open the heavy cell door. The harsh sound of the iron chain rubbing against each other echoed in the silent passage.

A deafening roar suddenly erupted from the depths of the dungeon.

The criminals imprisoned inside seemed to have sensed something, and at this moment, they were banging on the cell door like wild beasts smelling blood.

The iron bars groaned under the immense force, and in the dim torchlight, bloodthirsty desires flickered on the twisted faces!
