Chapter 379 Is it fun?
Everyone knew that the current situation was filled with an indescribable weirdness, and no one could guarantee what would happen, so no one said anything and just quietly quickened their pace.
Everyone was on edge, their steps hurried and rapid, as if something invisible was chasing them from behind.
Until they successfully walked out of the daunting desert and stepped into the territory of Qi State, they did not encounter any danger and no unusual situations occurred.
This made everyone wonder whether Jia Zhen had made a mistake or Li Zhi was overreacting and making a fuss.
Duan Heng heaved a long sigh of relief, a look of relief on his face, and said with emotion: "Finally we are out of this desert, luckily nothing happened."
The others nodded, with expressions of deep agreement on their faces and a look of relief in their eyes.
The terrifying feeling of being on edge as described by Jia Zhen made them dare not slack off at all along the way.
Although no actual danger was encountered along the way, everyone was under tremendous pressure in their hearts. The feeling of being shrouded in unknown fear at all times was truly torturous.
At this moment, they finally walked out of the desert safely. The joy in everyone's hearts was like a flood that broke through the dam, surging and surging, and it was difficult to express in words.
Even the strange feeling that Jia Zhen had always claimed to have disappeared without a trace as he stepped out of the desert.
However, Li Zhi always felt that something was wrong. This feeling was like a sharp thorn that pierced deeply into his heart and could not be dispelled no matter what.
His brows were slightly furrowed, and his eyes unconsciously revealed a hint of worry. From time to time, he looked back at the desert that they had left behind, with confusion and sadness in his eyes.
"We have all walked out of the desert, what are you still worried about?" Duan Heng walked forward, patted Li Zhi's shoulder gently, and said in a relaxed tone.
Li Zhi glanced at the people around him who were all happy and laughing. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to bury his doubts deep in his heart for the time being, and secretly convinced himself that perhaps he was thinking too much and was too sensitive.
He pulled the corners of his mouth, forced a smile, and said: "It's okay, now that we are out of this desert, let's find a place to rest for a while, and contact Qi tomorrow."
As a group of envoys going to the Wei Dynasty to pay tribute, Li Zhi and his companions should have contacted and greeted the local court when passing through other countries to avoid unnecessary trouble and disputes.
As soon as Li Zhi made the proposal, everyone cheered.
During this period, in order to escape from this dangerous desert as soon as possible, everyone was gritting their teeth and rushing on their way, their bodies and minds on the verge of collapse.
At this moment, hearing the news that they could finally take a break, everyone's faces instantly broke into long-lost bright smiles.
Since they had been in the desert for so long, the group didn't care too much and simply set up camp in a wasteland to rest.
The soldiers of the Qiongqi Camp acted quickly, building fires, boiling water and cooking.
Soon, smoke from the cooking started to rise, and the air was filled with the aroma of food. People gathered in groups of three or four, chatting and talking, with laughter echoing in every corner of the camp.
Infected by their cheerful mood, Li Zhi's original heavy worries gradually faded away, and he walked towards the officials of the Ministry of Rites.
The official leading the Ministry of Rites on this trip was named Su Liang, a fifth-rank official.
In terms of rank, he is two or three levels higher than Li Zhi, the Night Traveler.
However, Li Zhi was the person appointed to be in charge of this trip, so even though Su Liang had a higher rank, he never acted like a superior to Li Zhi during the entire trip and always maintained a humble and polite attitude.
So, when Su Liang saw Li Zhi walking towards him, a friendly smile immediately appeared on his face, and he quickly walked up to him and said enthusiastically: "Master Li, what can I do for you?"
Li Zhi also smiled and bowed to Su Liang, saying, "Sir Su, we have now entered the territory of Qi. Let's take a day off today. Tomorrow I will have to trouble Sir Su to make arrangements and contact Qi."
Upon hearing this, Su Liang nodded quickly and said cheerfully, "Don't worry, Lord Li. This is our responsibility and we will make sure it's properly arranged."
Li Zhi smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Lord Su. You should have a good rest first. If you have any questions, come to me."
After saying that, Li Zhi turned and left.
Li Zhixin walked and unknowingly came to where Duan Heng and his men were.
I saw Duan Heng and the others each holding a bowl of steaming soup and drinking it in big gulps. They looked as if they hadn't eaten for several days.
Seeing Li Zhi coming, Duan Heng put down the soup bowl, waved and greeted him warmly: "Where have you been? You were not even active in eating..."
Chen Hua, who was standing by, quickly brought a bowl of soup and handed it to Li Zhi.
Li Zhi reached out to take it. At this moment, he suddenly seemed to remember something. He raised his head abruptly, looked at Chen Hua and said, "By the way, Chen Hua, didn't you also feel something was wrong before? Do you still have that feeling now?"
Chen Hua was obviously stunned when he heard this, and the smile on his face froze instantly. However, he quickly reacted, and smiled again, saying: "Oh, I don't have that feeling anymore..."
Li Zhi's eyes flickered, as if thinking about something. He slowly lowered his head, staring at the bowl of soup in his hand, and said softly, "That's good."
The soup in the bowl swayed gently with his slight movements, creating circles of fine ripples.
"Clap!"
A crisp sound sounded.
The bowl of soup in Li Zhi's hand was knocked over to the ground without warning, and the boiling hot soup splashed onto the dry ground, making a "sizzling" sound.
The sudden noise made Duan Heng and his group, who were immersed in laughter and joy, stunned for a moment. The originally bustling tent seemed to freeze in time and fell into a dead silence.
The smiles on everyone's faces froze instantly, and they all turned their eyes to Li Zhi.
Zhang Wenchu's eyes flashed, and then he grinned, trying to squeeze out a relaxed smile from his stiff face, and said: "How come you can't even hold the bowl steadily? I'll go get you another bowl..."
However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Li Zhi's slightly gloomy laughter.
"Hehehehe..."
The laughter echoed in the silent tent, with a hint of chill, as if it came from the Netherworld, making people shudder.
Zhang Wenchu's brows were tightly furrowed, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. He stared at Li Zhi intently, as if he was examining a complete stranger.
Chen Hua slowly raised his head. His usually kind face became extremely stern at this moment. His eyes were full of hostility as he looked coldly at Li Zhi.
Nangong Wen, Duan Heng and Jia Zhen all turned their gazes towards Li Zhi. There was no longer the friendliness of the past in their eyes, but instead a ferocious and vicious look, as if the person standing in front of them was not a companion, but a mortal enemy with whom they had an irreconcilable feud.
Although Li Zhi's face looked a little sinister, his eyes were unusually clear and calm.
His gaze was like a sharp sword, coldly sweeping across Zhang Wenchu, Duan Heng, Nangong Wen, Chen Hua, Jia Zhen...
"Is it fun?"
Li Zhi's extremely cold voice, like ice, slowly echoed in the tent...
"pat"
The bowl of soup in Li Zhi's hand was knocked to the ground.
The sudden noise made Duan Heng and the others stunned, and the tent, which was originally filled with laughter and joy, instantly fell into deathly silence.
Zhang Wenchu's eyes flickered, and he grinned and said, "How come you can't even hold the bowl steadily? I'll make you a new bowl..."
"Hehehehe..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard Li Zhi's gloomy laughter.
Zhang Wenchu frowned and looked at Li Zhi.
Duan Heng also slowly raised his head and looked at Li Zhi.
Nangong asked, Chen Hua and Jia Zhen all looked at Li Zhi.
Their eyes were not as friendly as they should be, but rather ferocious and fierce, as if the people in front of them were not their companions, but their mortal enemies.
Although Li Zhi's face was slightly sinister, his eyes were clear and calm. He glanced at Zhang Wenchu, Duan Heng, Nangong Wen, Chen Hua, Jia Zhen...
"Is it fun?"
Li Zhi's extremely cold voice rang out in the tent!
