Chapter 323 1 Contribution Point Mission
Hearing Li Zhi's question, Situ Han's face suddenly became serious. He sat up straight and said seriously, "Brother, I do have something that I need your help with."
Seeing this, Li Zhi also hurriedly sat up straight, with an extremely serious expression, and responded in a firm tone: "Brother, you can say whatever you want! As long as it is something you need my help with, even if it means going through mountains of swords and seas of fire, I, Li Zhi, will never frown and will definitely do my best!"
"Good brother!"
Situ Han's face was moved, his eyes were full of emotion, as if he was deeply touched by Li Zhi's sincere words.
"Big brother!"
Li Zhi's face was also full of excitement, and he looked so sincere, as if he was willing to go through fire and water for Situ Han.
Perhaps they both realized that the atmosphere had become a little too "cheesy" for a moment, Situ Han coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and then slowly said: "The Chu State has withdrawn..."
When Li Zhi heard this, he was stunned at first. He had been busy with his own affairs during this period and had not paid much attention to the situation outside, so he had no idea that the State of Chu had withdrawn its troops.
So Li Zhi couldn't help but ask: "The Chu State actually withdrew its troops? What's going on?"
Situ Han nodded slightly and said calmly, "Whether it is the military reserves or the overall national strength of the Chu State, there is no way that it can compare with our Yong State. If the King of Chu had not mobilized the whole Chu State to dare to fight, with the original foundation of the Chu State, I am afraid that they would not even dare to think about going to war."
"However, as the saying goes, the first blow is good, the second is weak, and the third is exhausted. At first, the Chu army relied on the morale that was boosted to confront us, but now, the courage to fight in their hearts has almost been exhausted. With low morale, they naturally no longer have the strength to continue fighting our country."
After hearing what Situ Han said, Li Zhi nodded in agreement.
As he got to know this world better, he also realized more clearly the strength of Yong State. Now that the civil strife in Yong State had subsided, Yong State could focus on dealing with Chu State. Chu State was naturally unable to resist, so it was reasonable for it to withdraw its troops.
Then, Li Zhi heard Situ Han continue to say: "The matter of Chu State has come to an end for the time being. Next, we have to prepare to pay tribute to Wei State..."
Great Wei?
Li Zhi's eyes couldn't help but flicker slightly. He was full of curiosity about this giant existence that towered over all countries.
Although he had learned some information about the Great Wei from the internal information of the Yeyou Division before, it was related to the suzerain state after all, and the records were not detailed, and many of them were just fragments. This made Li Zhi more and more curious about such a powerful country and dynasty.
Situ Han continued slowly, "Going to the Wei Dynasty to pay tribute is the most important thing, so we can't be careless. We also need to send someone to escort them..."
When Li Zhi heard this, his heart skipped a beat and a bad premonition came to his mind. He wondered if Situ Han wanted him to go.
As expected, before Li Zhi could even open his mouth to speak, Situ Han continued, "Originally, I was supposed to lead the team, but I have some personal matters to attend to, so I can't go this time. So after thinking about it, I want to ask you to go on my behalf."
Li Zhi widened his eyes. He was indeed very curious about the Great Wei, but that didn't mean he wanted to go to the Great Wei.
What's more, they are representing Yong State to pay tribute to the Wei Dynasty. The journey is long and bumpy. Who knows what kind of situation they will encounter? It would be strange if there could be peace.
Situ Han seemed to be afraid that Li Zhi would not agree, so he looked at Li Zhi earnestly, his eyes full of earnestness, and said sincerely: "Brother, are you willing to help me with this?"
Li Zhi felt uncomfortable being looked at by him, and got goose bumps all over his body. He was thinking about how to refuse, but at this moment, he heard Situ Han said, "After completing the mission of escorting the tribute, you will be rewarded with 1,000 contribution points!"
Situ Han's words instantly blocked the excuse that was about to come out of Li Zhi's mouth.
One thousand contribution points! ?
What is this concept?
With these one thousand contribution points, Li Zhi can exchange them for two things containing the five elements' qi, and he won't feel bad if he uses one or throws away the other!
It’s weird if you don’t feel bad!
Li Zhi was thinking wildly in his mind, but to Situ Han, it seemed that Li Zhi was stunned by the news.
Seeing this, Situ Han laughed and said, "Don't worry, brother. Under the banner of Yongguo paying tribute to Wei, ordinary demons would not have the courage to take action. Moreover, this time we have the Qiongqi Camp accompanying us for escort, so you don't need to worry too much about safety."
When Li Zhi heard this, his expression did not ease much. He frowned and stared at Situ Han closely. He became more and more confused. What exactly was Situ Han's intention?
Situ Han noticed Li Zhi's sharp and direct gaze, but he still looked back at Li Zhi frankly, without any dodging in his eyes. He just looked at Li Zhi frankly, as if he had no guilt in his heart and had nothing to hide.
For a moment, the atmosphere became a little solemn, and there seemed to be a subtle tension in the air. Neither of them spoke again, as if they were waiting for the other to break the silence first.
After a long while, Li Zhi seemed to have finally made up his mind. He let out a long breath and then slowly said, "I don't know why Brother Situ treats me so well? Why did this happen to me?"
Situ Han smiled slightly, his expression still calm and composed. He patiently explained: "In fact, it can't be said to be preferential treatment, but I think you have the ability to take on this important task. Tribute is extremely important. Although there will generally be no major problems under normal circumstances, if there is a problem, it will definitely be a big trouble, so I need to find someone who is capable of dealing with various emergencies and solving difficult problems, and this person needs to be someone I can trust."
Hearing Situ Han's words, Li Zhi felt relieved. He half-jokingly said, "Oh, you scared me to death. I thought you were greedy for my body, haha!"
When Situ Han heard this, his eyes subconsciously flickered slightly, but soon returned to normal. He lowered his head, laughed and responded: "Don't talk nonsense, I don't like men."
After the two of them joked around like this, the heavy atmosphere gradually dissipated and the atmosphere became more relaxed.
Li Zhi put away the smile on his face, became serious again, looked at Situ Han, and asked solemnly: "Brother Situ, can you give me a definite answer? Is this trip dangerous?"
Upon hearing this, Situ Han did not answer Li Zhi's question immediately. Instead, he picked up the teapot on the table and skillfully poured a cup of tea for Li Zhi and another cup for himself.
Then, like before, he picked up the teacup, raised his head and drank the tea in the cup. Then he looked at Li Zhi and asked, "Li Zhi, you have been through so many battles along the way. Have you ever encountered anything without risk?"
When Li Zhi heard this, his expression suddenly froze, and scenes of the hardships and obstacles he had experienced in the past flashed through his mind. He understood what Situ Han meant.
He was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly, and said solemnly: "I understand!"
Then, he picked up the teacup in front of him, raised it towards Situ Han, and said sincerely: "Li Zhi uses tea instead of wine to thank Brother Situ for his trust and entrustment!"
After saying that, he also imitated Situ Han and drank the tea in the cup.
