Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 349: Selecting Teammates, Hongshan Town

Duan Heng left the inn with a brisk pace and a look of relief.

Li Zhi stood quietly at the door of the inn, staring at Duan Heng's back as he walked away, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Duan Heng has just explained clearly to Li Zhi the purpose of his visit.

Although Li Zhi was not sure whether he really had the power to select teammates for the tribute mission to Wei, when he thought of Duan Heng, a powerful fighter who was willing to work without any reward, Li Zhi started to make some plans in his mind.

Naturally, he was unwilling to let go of such a capable assistant easily.

After all, Li Zhi knew how strong Duan Heng was. It would undoubtedly be safer to have such a teammate with him when he went to Wei. In a foreign country, no one could predict what dangers they might encounter. With one more powerful helper, they would have more confidence to deal with danger.

Of course, Li Zhi knew that this matter still needed a definite answer, so he still needed to find Situ Han to ask for clarification.

Therefore, he only agreed to Duan Heng temporarily. If he had the power to select personnel, he would definitely choose him.

After hearing what Li Zhi said, Duan Heng left with satisfaction.

Looking at Duan Heng's departing back, an idea suddenly came to Li Zhi's mind.

So, Li Zhi turned around without stopping and walked quickly towards the outer city.

He walked hurriedly along the way.

Soon, Li Zhi hurried to Situ Han's door. Coincidentally, he met Situ Han coming out of the house, and it seemed that he was about to go out.

When Situ Han saw Li Zhi rushing over, a puzzled look appeared on his face, and he said, "What's the matter? Why do you keep coming to me every few days?"

Li Zhi glared at Situ Han unhappily and said, "How dare you say that? Duan Heng, you asked him to come find me without telling me in advance. I'm totally confused."

Hearing this, Situ Han showed an expression as if he had just remembered this. He scratched his head and said apologetically, "Oh, look at my memory. There have been so many things going on recently that I forgot. I'm so sorry."

Naturally, Li Zhi didn't really get angry and complain to Situ Han. He just said it casually. He knew in his heart that Situ Han was very busy and it was inevitable that he would be negligent sometimes.

Then, Li Zhi got to the point and asked, "Brother Situ, do I have the power to choose the teammates who will go to Wei this time?"

After all, going to the Wei Dynasty to pay tribute is a matter of great importance. If Li Zhi can choose his own teammates, it will be great news for him.

Because he chooses the people himself, he knows them well and he feels at ease with them.

Situ Han glanced at Li Zhi and said, "What? Are you planning to form a team yourself? Don't mess around, we have to follow the rules."

Li Zhi smiled, a flattering look on his face, and said, "Brother Situ, please stop teasing me. I just want to do things more safely. You know, we are going to Wei and we are unfamiliar with the place. If our teammates are unreliable, it will be a big trouble."

Situ Han rolled his eyes at Li Zhi and said in a serious tone, "Don't even think about dragging all of you from the C-Class into this! Going to the Wei Kingdom is a good job, and everyone is eagerly watching. If you from the C-Class eat alone and cause public outrage, I won't be able to protect you!"

Li Zhi was embarrassed to hear Situ Han's words, and his inner thoughts were seen through. He waved his hand and said, "Brother Situ, how can I be so ignorant? I just want to pick a few capable helpers, and I don't want to eat alone."

Situ Han glanced at Li Zhi and continued, "You can choose someone to go with you, but the number is limited to four, and to ensure fairness, only one person can go from each clan!"

As he spoke, Situ Han stepped forward, patted Li Zhi on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "You kid, this trip to Wei is a big responsibility, you must act with caution. Think carefully about who to choose, don't let me down. Brother, I have to go to the Night Tour Division to be on duty, so I won't chat with you anymore."

After saying that, Situ Han strode away, leaving Li Zhi standing there and began to think seriously about selecting teammates.

 …

Mingyue was extremely anxious and rode non-stop all the way. The wind whistled past his ears, raising clouds of dust.

The horse under her crotch was running with all its hooves flying and sweating profusely. Mingyue didn't care about much else and just kept urging the horse to run faster.

Finally, just before it got dark, we arrived at the place where Cheng Fengzi was carrying out his mission.

However, when Mingyue came here with great expectations, she couldn't find Cheng Fengzi anywhere.

After asking, he found out that Fengzi Cheng had gone to another place because of a new situation. Mingyue was immediately annoyed. He slapped his thigh hard, secretly blaming himself for being a step late.

But he knew very well that this matter could not be delayed and every minute and every second was crucial, so he hurriedly asked people about Cheng Fengzi's location, then immediately jumped on his horse and galloped in that direction.

Mingyue drove all the way, and finally, near Songgui City, he saw the familiar figure.

Cheng Fengzi had just finished dealing with some tricky unusual incidents and was about to take a break when he suddenly saw Mingyue rushing over with a look of surprise on his face. He couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Why are you so anxious? Did something big happen?"

Mingyue was so exhausted that she was out of breath and couldn't even catch her breath. She couldn't wait to say, "Uncle Cheng! Lao Hu is gone!"

When Cheng Fengzi heard this, he immediately knew that the situation was urgent, and his face suddenly changed. Without saying anything, he immediately turned around and walked quickly to his horse, jumped on the horse neatly, and shouted loudly: "Talk while walking! Quick, tell me the situation in detail."

In this way, the two of them rode their horses and hurried all the way towards Yanling City.

On the way, Cheng Fengzi listened to Mingyue's story about the disappearance of Yanling City. His brows were tightly furrowed, and a hint of worry was revealed in his eyes.

He knew clearly that if the prefect of Yanling City was determined to suppress the matter, it would be extremely difficult for them to find any useful clues in Yanling City.

Fengzi Cheng hurried on his way while looking at Mingyue. After thinking for a moment, he said, "You go back to Minglei City first and tell the lord of the city about the situation here. Ask him to put pressure on the governor of Yanling City. I will go directly to Lao Huzi!"

"it is good!"

Mingyue responded without hesitation.

Afterwards, the two separated at a fork in the road and ran in their respective predetermined directions.

With Cheng Fengzi's command and arrangements, Mingyue's originally panicked mood calmed down a little.

However, after a whole day of running around, he was extremely tired. Although he could still hold on, the horse he was riding was exhausted and its speed had obviously slowed down, and it was even unable to run.

Although Mingyue was anxious, she had no choice but to look around helplessly. She saw a small town not far away. Mingyue had looked at the map and knew that the town was called Hongshan Town.

So they decided to go to the nearby Hongshan Town to see if there was a horse inn so that they could change horses and continue their journey.

Although it was already night, fortunately, there was no curfew in Hongshan Town, and there were still some pedestrians coming and going on the street. Therefore, Mingyue did not have to worry about being stopped and could go to the inn without worry.

After entering Hongshan Town, Mingyue stopped a passerby and asked, "Big brother, where is the horse inn in this town? I have something urgent to do and need to change horses to travel."

The passerby shook his head and said, "There is no stable inn in this town, young man."

This stumped Mingyue, and a look of anxiety appeared on his face.

However, the passerby was a warm-hearted person. Seeing Mingyue's anxious look, he kindly said to him, "Walk to the front. There is the residence of the richest man in our town, Mr. Chen. He has a large family and a lot of wealth, so he must have horses. Why don't you go and ask him? Maybe he can help you."

Mingyue nodded gratefully to the passerby and said, "Okay, thank you, big brother!"

After saying that, Mingyue led the horse and walked towards the mansion of Master Chen as pointed out by the passers-by.

After a while, Mingyue arrived at the door of Chen's house.

The Chen Mansion was decorated with lights and lanterns, as if they were entertaining some guests. The door was open, and bursts of laughter, singing and dancing could be heard from inside. The lights were bright and the place was bustling.
