Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 165: Red Clothes at odds

After coming out of the county government office, Erniu was still in a trance, as if his mind was shrouded in fog and he was at a loss as to what to do.

His eyes were fixed on Li Zhi who was walking in front of him. His tall and straight figure looked particularly steady in the sunlight.

At this moment, Erniu couldn't help but feel an indescribable strange feeling in his heart.

Recalling what happened just now, he originally thought that Li Zhi invited him to dinner and took him to that remote alley just to ask him to help fight.

Although he was very disgusted with this kind of thing in his heart, his mother's teachings kept echoing in his ears: if you eat other people's food, you should do good things for them.

But what he never expected was that those people in the alley were actually spies from the State of Chu. Erniu fought under the leadership of Li Zhi and actually made a contribution.

This made Erniu even more curious about Li Zhi.

Although he looks about the same age as him, Li Zhi seems to know so much more than him and is more experienced in doing things. Erniu feels that compared with Li Zhi, he is like a mentally retarded person who knows nothing.

Li Zhi, who was walking slowly in front of Erniu, had a normal expression on his face. He was not surprised that those people were spies from the State of Chu, because he had known for a long time that under Li Zhi's control, the entire Shuangyang Town had no secrets at all.

And everything he did today was planned long ago.

The reason for doing this is to be able to go to the front line.

Because, although General Meng issued a call for everyone to go to support, in fact, not everyone can get close to the core battlefield.

Even though the war is severe now, the war between two countries is of great importance after all. If some people with bad intentions or even spies from the enemy country sneak in, it will be a real big trouble.

Therefore, General Meng would never easily let people go to the front line.

Even if a passionate person like Erniu, who has a strong desire to serve his country, arrives there, he will basically only be assigned to help in some insignificant and unimportant positions.

It may not be easy to actually step onto the battlefield and enter the core area.

Therefore, Li Zhicai specially planned this scene today in order to have a token of his allegiance that he could show off and some tangible merit to go along with it, so that at least he would not be left out in the cold and be neglected.

As for why he specifically brought Erniu along, the reason was also well thought out.

Li Zhi has always acted alone, but this habit has been clearly known to those who are looking for him and want to use him to exchange for magic inheritance.

This means that if he continues to act alone, he will be more likely to expose his whereabouts and get into trouble.

If Erniu was brought along, the two of them could at least confuse those people a little and prevent Li Zhi from being discovered so quickly.

And Erniu was not a person chosen by Li Zhi at random.

Erniu and Li Zhi entered Shuangyang Town at the same time, and Li Zhi had noticed Erniu at that time.

Li Zhiguan Erniu is not very old and is dressed simply. After entering Shuangyang Town, he looks like he has never seen the world before and is curious about everything he sees.

He judged in his heart that Erniu should be a boy from the country, who was simple-minded and easy to fool.

So later, with Li Zhi's tracking, he confirmed his judgment.

At a time like this, someone like Erniu is the most suitable helper for Li Zhi.

If not for this, if Erniu had tried to stand up for the old man just now, Li Zhi would never have bothered to care about this matter.

"Brother Zhou! Thank you!" Erniu quickly caught up from behind and said to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi, who used the alias Zhou Fan, looked back at Erniu and asked, "Are you thanking me for treating you to a meal? Or are you thanking me for letting you take the credit?"

Erniu scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "All of them, thank you for everything."

Li Zhi couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and said, "No need to thank me, it just so happens that you are also going to Dongzhou, so why don't we go together?"

Erniu showed joy on his face. He had been alone all the way, and now Li Zhi personally invited him, which made him very happy. He nodded repeatedly.

 …

With Erniu accompanying him, Li Zhi clearly noticed that the strange looks that used to be directed at him frequently along the way seemed to have decreased a lot.

Although he didn't know if it was his illusion, Li Zhi still felt a little relieved.

However, things did not go exactly as he wished.

There are always some people who have a stronger sixth sense or other special abilities. Even if Erniu is next to Li Zhi, when that person sees Li Zhi and Erniu, it seems that he can instantly recognize Li Zhi's identity.

For example, the man in front of me.

He had a thin face and was wearing a red robe with different shades of dark and light, and it also emitted a fishy smell of blood.

The strange looks from the people around him seemed to be illusions to him, and he simply ignored them. He was seen holding a bowl of tea, blowing air carefully, but his eyes did not even blink, staring at Li Zhi.

His gaze was like a sharp sword, seeming to penetrate Li Zhi's disguise and see through everything Li Zhi did.

Seeing such an aggressive look, Li Zhi knew that this person must have recognized him.

Li Zhi made a decision in his heart instantly, but he remained calm on the surface. He said to Erniu who was eating at the side: "You eat here first, I'll go out for a while."

Erniu, who was working hard, looked up blankly, still chewing food in his mouth, and then nodded vigorously.

Li Zhi patted Erniu gently, signaling him to continue eating.

Then Li Zhi glanced at the man in red, turned and walked out the door.

Seeing this, the man in red raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a strange smile. He threw a few copper coins on the table and followed Li Zhi out of the inn.

Li Zhi had no intention of getting rid of this man, so after leaving the inn, he did not leave quickly. Instead, he slowed down his pace and waited for the man in red to catch up before he continued forward.

In this way, Li Zhi took the man in red and walked all the way to a secluded place outside the city.

It is a sparsely populated area, and it is quiet except for the rustling of leaves in the breeze and the occasional chirping of birds.

Li Zhi stopped and turned to face the man in red.

The man in red looked at Li Zhi with great interest. He asked, "Is this the place you chose for your own death?"

This man spoke with a strong sense of joking. He seemed very confident, as if Li Zhi was already in his hands at this moment. He was not worried at all about what waves Li Zhi could cause.

Li Zhi stared at him closely and asked slowly, "Who are you?"

The red-clothed man smiled when he heard this. He did not shy away from the question and said directly, "Since you are from Xiaoyao Mountain, you must have heard of my name, Red-clothed Xiangzuo."

Li Zhi's eyes narrowed suddenly, and he couldn't help but feel shocked.

Red clothes are at odds!

He looked deeply at the man in front of him. He had actually heard of the name Red-clothed Xiangzuo.

Not only because this person's notoriety spread all over the country, but also because this person...

Once a disciple of Xiaoyao Mountain!
