Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 290 Zhang Zhou

After spending a peaceful night in the mountain temple, Li Zhi and his companions had a good rest and were fully refreshed. They said goodbye to the temple master early in the morning and then set out on the road to Yanling City.

With the experience accumulated from a whole day of riding yesterday, Mingyue's riding skills, although not yet skillful and free, have made significant progress compared to the initial awkwardness and clumsiness.

At this moment, although he was still a little nervous while riding on the horse, he was able to steer the horse forward more steadily. He was no longer in a state of almost losing his balance like he did yesterday, and he even fell off the horse inexplicably, which was heartbreaking.

Li Zhi and Hong Fan were well aware of Mingyue's situation, and Yanling City was not far away, so they slowed down tacitly and moved forward slowly at a leisurely pace.

Along the way, the three of them moved towards their destination in silence.

Finally, at noon when the scorching sun was pouring down on the earth, they successfully arrived at Yanling City.

The city gate is bustling with people coming and going. The cries of vendors and the conversations of pedestrians are intertwined, showing the prosperity and vitality of this city.

Hong Fan knew that although Yanling City was not a big city, it would still take some time to explore it thoroughly.

He estimated that it would take at least tonight to complete the investigation, so after careful consideration, he made quick arrangements.

Hong Fan turned to Mingyue and said, "First, find a suitable inn in the city and book a room so that we can have a place to stay tonight."

Upon hearing this, Mingyue nodded obediently and led the horse towards the inn area in the city.

Hong Fan looked at the moon that was getting farther and farther away, then turned to Li Zhi and said calmly, "I'll go to the government office, you go to the city first to check. Let's split up and send a signal if anything happens."

Li Zhi knew that Yanling City was the last stop, so he couldn't relax. And because of Mingyue, their journey was delayed a bit, so dividing the troops at this time was just the right time to make up for some of the delayed time.

So, Li Zhi nodded without hesitation and responded straightforwardly: "Okay!"

After saying that, Li Zhi and Hong Fan quickly separated according to the established plan. Hong Fan walked towards the government office, while Li Zhi walked towards the street.

In this way, the three of them split up into three groups and took action separately.

Although Li Zhi had been to Yanling City once before with Cheng Fengzi, he did not stay in Yanling City for long because they were in a hurry at that time, so he was not familiar with Yanling City.

Although Yanling City is not a big city, the streets and alleys in the city are intricate and you may get lost if you are not careful.

However, Li Zhi had the Mosquito Demon in his hand, so he was not worried about getting lost.

Under the guidance of the mosquito demon, Li Zhi shuttled through the streets and alleys of Yanling City, stopping from time to time to carefully sense whether there were any traces of the Fantasy World Tree.

After a while, Li Zhi's strange behavior attracted some people's attention.

 …

On the second floor of a teahouse, near the window, two people were sitting leisurely sipping tea.

One of them half-closed his eyes and his gaze fell on Li Zhi, who was searching around like a headless fly on the street below.

The corners of his mouth slightly raised, with a hint of amusement, he said softly to the man sitting opposite: "Brother, that boy looks unfamiliar, do you want to..."

As he spoke, he raised his right hand and made a sharp knife-cutting motion in the air.

The man he called "big brother" had a calm face and just chuckled when he heard it. Then, he slowly shifted his gaze to Li Zhi and said slowly, "Did you see the clothes he was wearing?"

When the man heard his elder brother asking this question, he became curious. He leaned forward, stretched his neck, stuck his head out of the window, and stared at Li Zhi's clothes.

After a moment, he retracted his gaze, frowned slightly, and said: "This person's clothes look unusual. I seem to have seen similar clothes several times..."

His elder brother nodded slightly and said solemnly, "I have seen this set of clothes in a government office called Yeyousi in Minglei City."

"Ye Yuji?"

A look of doubt instantly appeared on the man's face.

Although the Night Patrol is well-known among practitioners and the world of demons and monsters, ordinary people like them know very little about it.

Then, a trace of disdain flashed in the man's eyes. He lowered his voice slightly, as if he was afraid of being heard by others, but he said with a bit of bravado: "Who cares if he is from the Night Patrol Department or the Night Department, we are not afraid of Captain He from the government office, so why should we be afraid of him?

"It's better to have less trouble than more. We still have things to do..."

Before he could finish his words, a familiar voice sounded, calling his name.

"Zhang Zhou, so you are here!"

Hearing the voice, Zhang Zhou subconsciously looked back and saw his old acquaintance Song Feng walking towards him with a smile on his face, followed by a pale-faced man with a unique temperament.

Zhang Zhou stood up immediately, and Qian Er, who was sitting opposite him, also stood up when he saw him.

"Brother Song, it's been a long time since we last met. You look better!" Zhang Zhou greeted him warmly with a warm smile on his face.

However, his eyes quietly drifted towards the man next to Song Feng.

He knew very well in his heart that Song Feng had specially asked him out this time in order to help this person make connections, so this person must have something important.

Qian Er had followed Zhang Zhou for a long time, and they had a tacit understanding that they could understand each other without words. Qian Er took a step forward, his eyes fell on the man next to Song Feng, and asked, "Brother Song, who is this?"

Song Feng laughed. He first looked at the pale-faced man respectfully, then turned to Zhang Zhou and the others and said, "This is Master Chen. Master Chen has come to Yanling City to do something, and he needs the help of Brother Zhang Zhou."

Zhang Zhou raised his eyes slightly, and his gaze quickly swept over Master Chen like a torch. He was experienced and knowledgeable, but just this one glance made his heart involuntarily shudder.

He keenly realized that this Mr. Chen was no ordinary person and that he exuded a elusive mysterious aura.

"Hello, Mr. Chen!" Zhang Zhou said with a fist salute.

Young Master Chen looked indifferent and just nodded slightly. His condescending attitude made Qian Er frown slightly. He was used to acting arrogantly in Yanling City, and he felt displeased when he saw Young Master Chen's attitude.

He glanced at his elder brother Zhang Zhou and saw that although Zhang Zhou's expression did not change, there was a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Seeing this, Song Feng thought to himself that it was not good. He was here to help people make connections, not to make them enemies.

He quickly stepped forward and said enthusiastically: "Mr. Chen, this is Brother Zhang Zhou. Brother Zhang Zhou is very capable. He knows all the people in Yanling City..."

Upon hearing this, Master Chen slowly spoke, and said in a somewhat cold voice: "Since Brother Zhang Zhou is capable, then I will naturally not be stingy. If this matter is handled well, I will send Brother Zhang Zhou a great fortune!"

Zhang Zhou raised his eyebrows slightly.
