Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 574: Hanzhou Incident

Li Zhi and others had just come down from Longhu Mountain when they saw dust flying on the mountain road in the distance. A black horse was galloping towards them, and the figure in green tights on the horse's back looked particularly familiar.

"It's Lord Mu."

Xiao Ke narrowed his eyes and blurted out.

Li Zhi also recognized the person and raised his eyebrows slightly. Mu Ye rushed over at this moment. Could something have happened again?

Mu Ye, who was riding a horse from a distance, also saw Li Zhi and the others. He hurriedly pulled the reins, and the horse suddenly stopped in front of Li Zhi and the others.

Without waiting for Mu Ye to dismount, Li Zhi took the lead and asked, "Brother Mu, what happened?"

Mu Ye paused for a moment, then dismounted. He shook his head and said, "No, everything is fine in the government office for now..."

As he spoke, Mu Ye looked up at Li Zhi. A trace of shame that was hard to conceal flashed across his eyes beneath the bronze mask. He moved his lips before continuing, "But after much thought, I realized that the chaos in Hanzhou is ultimately my responsibility. It's also my duty to ask Longhu Mountain for help. How can I let you make this trip for me... So I..."

Mu Ye's voice became lower and lower, with a hint of discomfort.

Li Zhi understood as soon as he heard it. Mu Ye must have struggled internally for a long time before he finally let go of his old grudge with Longhu Mountain and mustered up the courage to rush to Longhu Mountain for help.

With Mu Ye's aloof and arrogant personality, he was able to make this decision. He must have done a lot of mental work on himself.

Thinking of this, Li Zhi couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Mu, don't worry. We are all here to quell the unrest in Hanzhou. It doesn't matter who comes here. Besides, I have already negotiated with the Imperial Master. He has agreed to send all the members of Longhu Mountain down the mountain to help Guizu stabilize the situation in Hanzhou."

"All hands on deck?"

Mu Ye looked up suddenly, his eyes full of surprise.

He originally thought that Longhu Mountain had always been at odds with Guizu, and even if Longhu Mountain had to help out for the sake of the court's reputation, it would at most send a few disciples to deal with the matter perfunctorily.

However, I didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward and positive, and directly agreed to come out in full force.

Immediately afterwards, the surprise in Mu Ye's eyes was covered by shame. He was still struggling for a long time, unable to save face, but Li Zhi had already handled everything neatly and efficiently.

Comparing the two, I seem even more petty.

For a moment, the shame in Mu Ye's eyes grew even more intense. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't know where to begin, so he could only stand there in silence.

If you took off his bronze mask at this moment, you would definitely see his face as red as a monkey's butt.

Seeing Mu Ye's silence, Li Zhi roughly guessed what he was thinking and took the initiative to change the subject: "By the way, Zhang Tianshi said that Longhu Mountain will provide everything they need this time when they go down the mountain, and the court doesn't need to worry about it. But they are here to help us after all, so we can't be too unkind."

He paused and continued, "I will write a letter back to the capital to ask for some supplies for you. Brother Mu, please don't neglect the people of Longhu Mountain because of past grudges."

Mu Ye immediately came to his senses upon hearing this and nodded solemnly: "Don't worry! As long as they sincerely help me quell the rebellion, I will treat them like my own brothers, without any difference!"

Although he had old grudges with Longhu Mountain, he knew what was important and what was not. The safety of Hanzhou was the most important thing at the moment, and personal grudges should be put behind him.

Li Zhi felt relieved when he saw his firm tone.

Although more than half of the Gui clan were killed, with Mu Ye in charge and the full strength of Longhu Mountain, as long as the two sides do not fight internally, unless Tianxianmen uses its top forces to launch a full-scale sniper attack, the situation in Hanzhou will definitely be stabilized.

After explaining some matters to Mu Ye, Li Zhi looked up at the sky. He had been in Hanzhou for quite some time. Now that everything was arranged, it was time for him to leave.

After all, there are things waiting for him in other branches.

After saying goodbye to Mu Ye, Li Zhi quickly left the place with Gu Chun, Xiao Ke and others.

 …

In Anzhou, the jungle west of Qingshang City is impenetrable, and the branches and leaves of towering ancient trees are intertwined into a dome, cutting the sunlight into tiny spots of light.

In the midst of this lush green, a bare hill stands abruptly, out of tune with the surrounding forest, like a stubborn stone thrown here by someone.

At the top of the hill, two figures sat side by side.

"Brother...I'm hungry..."

A weak voice sounded, revealing a sense of fatigue.

"Hungry? Well, now that you mention it, I'm hungry too. Take out the chicken butt that was left over from yesterday and share it with others. Save some for later."

Another voice sounded. Although it was not as weak as the previous voice, it also revealed a strong sense of fatigue.

However, after he finished speaking for a long time, the junior fellow beside him didn't move. His heart skipped a beat, and he turned to glare at his junior fellow, his eyes instantly widening. "You are so good, Chen Huan! Did you steal the chicken butt?!"

"No no!"

Chen Huan waved his hands quickly, but subconsciously shrank back.

Liu He refused to believe it and slapped him on the back of the head. Chen Huan covered his head and ran away. The two of them started chasing each other on the bare hill.

Who would have thought that this pair of brothers who were making such a fuss like children were actually the disciples of Ouyang Duan from Xiaoyao Mountain - Liu He and Chen Huan.

Looking back to the time when Li Zhi first entered Xiaoyao Mountain, he fought with them.

However, the pair of brothers wanted to give Li Zhi a warning, but unexpectedly they backfired, and Liu He was nearly killed by Li Zhi. Although he escaped with his life thanks to the intervention of other brothers, Li Zhi cut off half of his right ear.

Later, they were sent down the mountain by their master Ouyang Duan to gain experience.

Over the years, they have traveled all over Yongguo, passed through dangerous places, and fought against monsters and evil spirits. Although they encountered danger many times, they relied on the joint efforts of their brothers to overcome danger every time.

But this time in Anzhou, things are a little different...

Just when Liu He finally pinned Chen Huan down and was about to teach him a lesson, the hill beneath his feet suddenly shook violently, and a dull roar came from underground, as if a giant beast was grinding its teeth and sucking blood below.

"not good!"

Liu He's expression suddenly changed, and he instantly stopped playing around. He grabbed Chen Huan's wrist and shouted, "Quick! Help me stabilize this hill!"

Chen Huan didn't dare delay and quickly sat down cross-legged with Liu He, pressing his hands firmly against the cold rock. The Qi in his body rapidly circulated, flowing through his palms into the hills, like two warm currents pouring into the dry land.

As Qi continued to be transported, the rubble on the surrounding ground seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, converging towards the hill and piling up layer upon layer on the top of the hill.

After a while, the hill suddenly rose two feet, and the vibration and roar finally subsided.

“Huh—”

Liu He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, collapsed on the ground and gasped for breath, "Finally, I suppressed it again..."

Chen Huan also collapsed to the ground, crying, "Brother, when will this end?"

Upon hearing this, Liu He's face fell, and he replied with a sad face: "I don't know either..."

The two brothers looked at each other in silence, with only sighs rising and falling.

Just when they were worried, Li Zhi and his group of five also arrived in Anzhou!
