Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 517 Asking for help

Yan Ji led Li Zhi all the way to the office of Qi State's Night Tour Division.

The location of the Qi State Night Patrol Office was actually not far from them. The reason why Yan Ji deliberately turned into a giant bird and flew over was simply to test Li Zhi's strength.

Not long after, Li Zhi and Yan Ji arrived at the Qi State Yeyousi Yamen on horses they had begged from the border troops.

As soon as he entered the door, Li Zhi felt a cold and desolate atmosphere coming towards him.

The entire yamen was empty, not even a single person could be seen.

This made Li Zhi curious, and he asked, "Why is there no one here?"

Seeing this, Yan Ji just shrugged and replied: "Everyone else is out on a mission..."

Only after hearing Yan Ji’s explanation did Li Zhi understand.

It turns out that the Night Patrol Department of Qi State is very different from that of Yong State.

In the Yongguo Yeyou Division, in addition to some earthly branch members who are responsible for carrying out tasks, there are also many civilian staff who are responsible for some archival records, file classification and other work.

But in the Qi State Night Tour Division, there are only members who carry out tasks, and no people who are specifically responsible for clerical work.

Yan Ji walked quickly to a desk piled with various files and booklets.

He searched for a while and finally found a book that looked a little old. He picked it up, blew away the dust on it, then opened it and turned to a blank page.

Yan Ji turned around and asked for some identity information of Li Zhi.

Li Zhi also responded truthfully one by one.

While listening to Li Zhi's answer, Yan Ji quickly recorded the information in a notebook.

After finishing the record, Yan Ji closed the book and said to Li Zhi, "That's it."

Li Zhi was stunned after hearing this. He looked at the booklet, then at Yan Ji, and hesitantly asked, "Chief Yan, is this how you go about following the process?"

Seeing this, Yan Ji smiled and said, "What else do you want?"

Li Zhi was speechless. The so-called identity verification was just relying on Yan Ji's intuition. The so-called process was just coming here to register your identity.

This is a bit of a joke...

However, Li Zhi changed his mind and felt that this was a good thing for him. At least he would not have to waste too much time in confirming his identity.

So, Li Zhi said to Yan Ji, "Since that's the case, I'll take my leave now."

Having said that, Li Zhi turned around and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Yan Ji hurried forward to stop Li Zhi, as if he was afraid that Li Zhi would leave. He said anxiously: "Hey! Wait... wait..."

Li Zhi stopped and looked at Yan Ji in confusion, and asked, "Sir Yan, is there anything else?"

Yan Ji smiled and nodded, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes. He said, "The Qi State Night Tour Division originally came from the Yong State. So, we are family! It's so rare for us to meet, so I have to treat you well!"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhi quickly waved his hands, showing a bit of embarrassment on his face, and shook his head repeatedly to refuse.

After all, he is not far from Yongguo now, and he has experienced a lot along the way. Li Zhi also hopes to return to Yongguo as soon as possible.

However, seeing Li Zhi's refusal so firmly, Yan Ji's face fell. He grabbed Li Zhi's sleeve and refused to let go, muttering, "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Is there something you can't tell me? Could it be that you're not from the Yongguo Night Tour Division at all, and you're worried about being discovered, so you don't dare to stay and let me entertain you?"

Li Zhi was speechless upon hearing this. He looked at Yan Ji helplessly and said with a wry smile, "Boss Yan, you really make me laugh and cry. It was you who previously believed that I was from the Yongguo Yeyousi, and now you say that I'm not. Aren't you contradicting yourself?"

But Yan Ji didn't seem to care about it. He still grabbed Li Zhi's clothes tightly and acted like a rogue, saying, "I don't care. Anyway, you have to stay today and let me treat you well, otherwise you can't leave!"

Seeing Yan Ji's persistence, Li Zhi knew that he would have a hard time getting away today. He sighed helplessly and said, "Well, since Chief Yan is so kind, I'll bother you."

Seeing Li Zhi agreed, Yan Ji immediately put away his rogue face and said with a smile: "As expected of a family, you are so straightforward! Let's go, there is a restaurant in the city, the dishes are not bad..."

As he spoke, he led Li Zhi out of the Night Tour Office.

 …

In the restaurant.

Li Zhi looked at the table full of delicious food, the aroma was so fragrant that it made him salivate.

His gaze finally fell on Yan Ji opposite him. Yan Ji was smiling and greeting him warmly.

Li Zhi was doubtful, and a sentence flashed through his mind involuntarily: If someone shows kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.

However, despite being wary, Li Zhi did not realize that Yan Ji had any intention of harming him.

So, Li Zhi decided to get straight to the point and asked directly, "Chief Yan, our Yongqi countries have always been friendly. You and I are both from the Night Travel Department. You are showing such hospitality. I believe you have something important to discuss with us. If there is anything I can help you with, please let me know. As long as it is within my ability, I will do my best to help you."

Hearing Li Zhi's words, Yan Ji's smile grew even brighter. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Haha, brother, you're really quick to speak! I can't hide what I'm thinking from you! I do have something to ask of you..."

Li Zhi looked at Yan Ji quietly, waiting for his next words.

Yan Ji paused for a moment, then slowly said, "A while ago, a monster suddenly broke into the territory of Qi. This monster was extremely powerful, and even if I took action myself, it would be difficult to subdue it..."

After hearing this, Li Zhi already understood Yan Ji's intention.

It's nothing more than hoping that Li Zhi can help deal with the monster.

However, Li Zhi was cautious by nature, and when he heard that Lian Yan Ji had returned empty-handed, he did not dare to agree directly.

He was silent for a moment, then asked, "What is the level of cultivation of that monster?"

Yan Ji quickly replied: "That is a great demon that has survived the earth's calamity..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Zhi frowned.

The big demon that has survived the earth's calamity is not so easy to deal with!

Seeing Li Zhi frown, Yan Ji quickly added: "Although that monster is a big monster, he is injured. Although it is a big monster, you and I are not without a chance if we join forces!"

Li Zhi's brows were still furrowed and he didn't say anything.

Yan Ji was worried that Li Zhi was scared away by the monster, so he hurriedly said, "The monster's strength has been severely damaged. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to stand here and talk to you in one piece."

Li Zhi did not doubt what Yan Ji said.

After all, Yan Ji's goal was to hope that Li Zhi would take action to eliminate the demon, not to deliberately harm him. On this point, Yan Ji should not hide anything.

However, when facing a big monster, even if it is injured, its strength should not be underestimated. Li Zhi still feels that there is a considerable risk.

This made him fall into deep thought, and he began to carefully consider the feasibility and potential risks of this matter.
