Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 514 Qi State, Night Tour Division

The actions of the Xingyun Sect have always been swift and decisive. For a time, a large number of disciples with Xingyun Sect tokens hanging on their waists poured into the territory of the Shuibo Sect like a tide.

This sudden change plunged the entire Shuibomen territory into panic.

The Xingyun Sect's members were known for their aggressive and ruthless nature, each one unruly, vicious, and cruel. Soon, chaos reigned in the Shuibo Sect's territory, leaving everyone in a state of panic and a tense atmosphere permeating the streets.

Li Zhi was among them. Although he was wearing blood-stained clothes in an attempt to cover his whereabouts, he was almost discovered by the people of Xingyun Sect several times.

Fortunately, he managed to escape safely in the end.

As the disciples of Xingyun Sect acted recklessly on the territory of Shuibo Sect, the people of Shuibo Sect finally lost their patience.

Although they were wary of the powerful Xingyun Sect and did not dare to openly confront it, they began to show a clear attitude of non-cooperation towards the various demands put forward by the Xingyun Sect.

This incident made it even more difficult for the disciples of Xingyun Sect to find Li Zhi.

The task, which was already like finding a needle in a haystack, is now even more difficult.

Li Zhi took the opportunity to act quietly. He carefully shuttled under the eyes of the disciples of Xingyun Sect and finally successfully arrived at the border area.

To ensure safety, he deliberately circled around several times, carefully observing whether anyone from the Xingyun Sect was following him.

Finally, on this day, Li Zhi keenly noticed that there were no traces of Xingyun Sect disciples around.

He breathed a sigh of relief, the tension in his heart easing slightly.

Then, like a ghost, he quietly and silently left the Shuibo Gate's sphere of influence and stepped into the territory of Qi.

 …

Qi State was a country that had established diplomatic relations with Yong State.

It was precisely because of this connection that when Li Zhi and his men planned their journey to Wei, they planned to pass through Qi.

However, because of the obstruction of the demon bird Yong, Li Zhi and his men had to take a detour and borrow the road from the State of Yan.

Now Li Zhi was on his way back, and by some strange coincidence he ended up in Qi.

Since Qi State did not open border trade and even had an unfriendly relationship with the neighboring Shuibomen, not only was no one approaching the border on weekdays, there were even patrolling troops constantly looking around.

Therefore, when Li Zhi stepped into the border of Qi State, he was immediately discovered by the patrolling troops.

They did not dare to be careless and immediately stopped Li Zhi.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the border of Qi?"

A dark-faced man sat on the horse, staring at Li Zhi with a wary look on his face.

Li Zhi certainly knew that trespassing into another country's border was a very serious offense, but he really had no choice. His current situation was complicated and troublesome, so he had to do this.

Therefore, when he heard the question from the man in front of him, Li Zhi replied very politely: "I am Li Zhi, the Night Patrol Officer of Yong State. I was ordered to attack Wei State. Now I am about to return and accidentally entered the border of Qi State. I hope you can forgive me."

When the man heard Li Zhi claim to be from Yongguo, his eyes lit up. He naturally knew about Yongguo's tribute to Wei. Originally, Yongguo had contacted Qi and wanted to use them as a transit point to Wei, but something happened later, and the Yongguo envoys never came to Qi.

However, the man couldn't confirm whether Li Zhi was from Yongguo, so he naturally didn't dare to let Li Zhi go. He said in a deep voice: "Since that's the case, please come with me and verify his identity first!"

Li Zhi hadn't lied about his identity, so he wasn't afraid of the other party checking. Furthermore, the other party's request for verification was reasonable, so he nodded and said, "Of course!"

 …

Although Qi was not a legitimate country recognized by heaven and earth, demons and monsters rarely caused trouble within its territory.

The reason for this has to start with the successive monarchs of Qi State...

These monarchs of Qi were not stupid people, so they always maintained good diplomatic relations with Yong.

There is even a hint of following Yongguo's lead.

Because of this, whenever Qi was plagued by demons, the monarchs of Qi would go to Yong without hesitation to cry for help.

As for Yongguo, when he heard that his younger brother was in trouble, he naturally felt obligated to lend a hand.

However, this back and forth trip not only consumed manpower and material resources for Yongguo, but more importantly, distant water could not put out a nearby fire.

By the time people from Yong State came, Qi State was almost completely destroyed.

Therefore, under the negotiation between Yong and Qi, Yong simply established a Yeyousi department exclusively for Qi within the territory of Qi to help Qi deal with the chaos of demons.

At that time, the first generation of Qi State's Night Patrol personnel were all from Yong State.

Despite several generations of changes, the people who now serve in the Night Patrol Department of Qi State are no longer the original group of people from Yong State.

However, this did not affect Qi Yeyousi's heartfelt friendliness and goodwill towards Yongguo.

At this moment, there was peace and tranquility in Qi State's Night Tour Office.

The sunlight shines through the window onto the ground, forming patches of mottled light and shadows.

In this light and shadow, a man in a crimson robe was sitting in the house leisurely reading a book.

Suddenly, a hurried shout came from outside the house, disrupting his interest in reading.

"Master Chief! Master Chief!"

The man frowned slightly, raised his head impatiently and looked in the direction of the sound.

A man in a light red robe rushed in from the door like a gust of wind. Before he even reached the man, he couldn't wait to shout, "Something's happening! Something's happening!"

The man reading the book couldn't help but feel annoyed when he saw this. He glared at the newcomer and said unhappily, "Are there demons causing trouble again? You look so flustered, how can you behave like that?"

The man felt a little guilty after being scolded by the chief. He swallowed hard, gathered his composure, and stammered, "The border troops... the border troops have received news that someone claiming to be from the Yongguo Night Patrol has intruded into the border."

When the chief heard this, his expression instantly became serious. He quickly stood up from his chair, walked quickly to the man, and asked, "Is this true?"

The visitor nodded repeatedly and replied affirmatively, "It is absolutely true. The border troops asked you to go over and confirm the other party's identity."

Upon hearing this, Si Shou's eyes suddenly lit up. He clapped his hands excitedly and said, "Okay, okay, I'll be right there!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly jumped up and flew high into the sky like a light swallow.

In an instant, the crimson robe on his body fluttered in the air like a flag fluttering in the wind.

Then, an amazing scene happened - the body of the chief suddenly twisted in the air, and in an instant he turned into a big bird covered in red!

The big red bird raised its head to the sky and cried out, a sharp cry piercing the clouds. Then, it flapped its wings, the air made a thunderous sound, a strong wind swept through, and the bells hanging on the eaves were shaken and jingled.

Then it flew straight out.

The person who came to report was left with his head raised high, looking at the direction where the big red bird disappeared with envy.

After all, this is the art of transformation that only the head of Qi State’s Yeyou Division can practice!
