Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 521 Greedy Wolf

Li Zhi and his men rushed back to Yeyousi without stopping.

Yan Ji had just been carefully placed on the bed when he slowly woke up under the effect of the healing medicine Yu Lu Wan.

The first thing he said when he opened his eyes was to ask anxiously, "How is the monster?"

Seeing this, Li Zhi quickly patted Yan Ji's shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry, Chief Yan, the monster has been killed."

After hearing the news, Yan Ji's originally tense and anxious expression finally relaxed.

He struggled to get up from the bed, then bowed to Li Zhi, wanting to thank him.

Seeing this, Li Zhi quickly reached out to support Yan Ji, saying, "Boss Yan, there's no need to be like this..."

However, Yan Ji pushed Li Zhi aside and insisted on getting up. He said solemnly, "If it weren't for Brother Li's help, it would have been a very difficult task for us to get rid of this monster. Brother Li's action not only solved our urgent problem, but also saved tens of millions of lives throughout Qi!"

Before he finished speaking, Yan Ji bowed deeply with his hands clasped in his hands, his attitude extremely sincere: "Yan Ji, on behalf of everyone in Qi State... thank you Brother Li for saving my life!"

Li Zhi could naturally see Yan Ji's sincerity and seriousness, so this time, he did not stop him like before, but silently accepted Yan Ji's thanks.

After Yan Ji finished his greetings, Li Zhi stepped forward and helped him up.

Yan Ji straightened up and stared at Li Zhi, his eyes revealing sincerity and gratitude.

He took a deep breath and then spoke again, "Brother Li, I will never forget the kindness you showed me today. If there is anything I can help you with in the future, I hope Brother Li will give me a chance to repay you!"

Li Zhi sensed the sincerity in Yan Ji's words. He nodded and replied seriously, "Master Yan, you are too kind. Today's matter is just a piece of cake. If you really need your help in the future, I will definitely come and bother you."

After getting Li Zhi's assurance, Yan Ji finally smiled.

The two were talking when suddenly, they heard hurried footsteps outside.

Immediately afterwards, a member of Qi State's Night Patrol Department rushed in.

The man appeared extremely anxious the moment he entered the room. He was panting heavily, and without even a moment's hesitation, he spoke directly, "Sir, there's someone outside claiming to be from the Yongguo Night Patrol Division, and he wants to see you!"

Yongguo Night Tour Office?

When Li Zhi and Yan Ji heard the news, they were both stunned. They looked at each other and saw the same doubt in each other's eyes.

Yan Ji came back to his senses and said to the member, "Please ask him to come in quickly... No, I'll go directly over."

After saying that, Yan Ji was about to walk towards the door.

Seeing this, Li Zhi hurried to follow. He said, "Then I'll go with you too. Just in time to see who it is."

With that, Li Zhi and Yan Ji walked out of the room together.

 …

In front of the gate of Qi State's Night Patrol Division, a man wearing the unique green clothes of Yong State's Night Patrol Division was standing quietly with his hands behind his back.

The man had silver-white hair and was obviously quite old, but his face was extremely cold and there was an indescribable sharpness between his eyes and eyebrows, which made people dare not look him in the eye easily.

After a while, his attention was attracted by two people who walked out of Qi State's Night Tour Office.

His eyes narrowed slightly, like a hawk observing its prey, secretly sizing up the two men.

This was not the first time he had come to the Qi State Night Tour Office, and he had some understanding of the situation here.

He knew that the head of the Night Patrol Division in Qi State usually wore dark red clothes, while ordinary members of the Night Patrol Division wore light red clothes.

So, when he saw the two people, he recognized at a glance that the man with a weak breath was the head of Qi State's Night Patrol Department.

But the other person wearing a blood-stained shirt made him a little confused.

However, just when he was still wondering who the man in the blood-stained clothes was, something he had never expected happened.

The man in the blood-stained clothes suddenly changed his expression and looked shocked when he saw him.

Then, as if he had met someone extremely important, the man quickly ran up to him, knelt on one knee without hesitation, and said, "Li Zhi, the Bing Earthly Branch, greets... the Deputy Chief!"

It turned out that this person was actually another deputy chief of the Yongguo Night Patrol besides Situ Han - Tanlang, Xie Qing!

Speaking of Xie Qing, his seniority is even older than that of the chief minister Zhao Wuji.

However, this powerful deputy director has always disliked being disturbed by trivial matters. Therefore, although he and Situ Han both hold the position of deputy director, their actual jobs are very different.

Although Situ Han would take time out to do some tasks to eliminate demons and evil spirits on weekdays, he would spend most of his time in the Night Patrol Division in the capital, taking command and assisting the chief in handling various related matters.

Compared with Situ Han, Xie Qing's way of doing things is different. He is most afraid of being entangled in these affairs and wants to avoid them as much as possible.

Therefore, he would never return to the capital on weekdays, for fear that he would be captured by Zhao Wuji and forced to assist Situ Han as soon as he returned.

Except for occasionally staying in the Demon-Suppressing City far away from the capital, Xie Qing spent most of his time traveling outside, exorcising demons and monsters, or hunting down those evil spirits who were doing evil.

It is also because of this that although Li Zhi has been working in the Night Patrol for quite some time, he has never actually met Xie Qing in person.

Of course, as Xie Qing is the deputy chief of the Night Tour Division, there are naturally some relevant information about Xie Qing in the division, as well as a portrait of Xie Qing.

It was because of this that Li Zhi was able to recognize Xie Qing's identity at a glance.

Xie Qing raised his eyebrows, glanced at Li Zhi, and asked, "Are you the one in charge of this trip to the Wei Dynasty to pay tribute?"

Although Xie Qing never returned to the capital, he was well-informed about the news in Yongguo.

Not to mention such an extremely important matter as going to the Great Wei to pay tribute.

Hearing Xie Qing's question, Li Zhi did not dare to neglect it in the slightest. He replied, "To answer the Deputy Chief, I am the head of the delegation that is sending tribute to the Great Wei."

Xie Qing nodded and murmured, "Calculating the time, it's time for you to come back..."

As he spoke, Xie Qing seemed to suddenly remember something. He glanced at Li Zhi, then looked at Yan Ji, who was sitting quietly beside him, and asked, "Did you all work together to kill the great monster in your Qi territory?"

Upon hearing Xie Qing's question, Yan Ji quickly replied, "Indeed, that great demon was extremely powerful. Fortunately, Brother Li came to our aid. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for us to kill it."

Yan Ji's tone was full of gratitude towards Li Zhi.

Only then did Xie Qing show an expression of matter-of-factness and nodded.

He thought to himself: That's right.

With the strength of Qi State's Night Patrol, how could they possibly kill that giant monster...

Even that big monster had been severely injured by him before!
