Chapter 448 Going to Find Xiahou Shan
Chapter 448 Going to Find Xiahou Shan
Looking at Jia Jiajia rushing towards him with great momentum, Li Zhi really had a headache. At the moment, he was unarmed. To confront Jia Jiajia, who was extremely strong and skilled in martial arts, head-on would undoubtedly be like hitting a rock with an egg, and he had no chance of winning.
Therefore, Li Zhi was unwilling to take action from the bottom of his heart, but Jia Jiajia's figure was already close at hand and there was no way to avoid it.
At the critical moment, an idea flashed in Li Zhi's mind.
His eyes suddenly widened, he looked behind Jia Jiajia and shouted at the top of his voice, "General Jia!"
This sudden shout scared Jia Jiajia so much that he was instantly frightened.
Jia Jiajia's body, which was like a wild horse running away from its reins, suddenly stopped. His feet seemed to be nailed to the ground and he dared not move towards Li Zhi at all.
But when he turned around, he found that there was no one behind him, not even a single person in sight.
Although Jia Jiajia was a bit clueless, he instantly realized that he had been tricked by Li Zhi. His face flushed red like a ripe tomato, and he angrily shouted at Li Zhi, "You're lying!"
Seeing that Jia Jiajia didn't get angry and attack him again, Li Zhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, forced a smile on his face, and explained, "I'm not lying to you, they're coming out soon. If you fight me now and they see you, General Jia won't let you go!"
When Jia Jiajia heard this, his whole body froze.
Ever since he became stupid, he has been fearless and does whatever he wants in Jingping City, but he is only afraid of his father Jia Sheng.
At this moment, Li Zhi used Jia Sheng to suppress him, which was like pinching his vital point, making him feel timid in an instant, and he really didn't dare to act rashly against Li Zhi again.
When Li Zhi saw that Jia Jiajia was frightened by him, the smile on his face became more genuine.
But he knew in his heart that if he didn't completely convince a stubborn person like Jia Jiajia, he might start to pester him again in a while.
So, Li Zhi calmed down and asked, "Why do you have to fight me? Is it because of that token?"
Jia Jiajia nodded heavily and replied in a muffled voice, "Xiahou Shan said that only the most powerful can get that token."
"I see..."
Li Zhi murmured softly while reaching into his arms.
Li Zhi had given the token from Xiahou Mountain to Zhuang Zheng before, but Zhuang Zheng was attacked by Jia Jiajia last night. Li Zhi took him to the clinic overnight. Considering that they might encounter soldiers on curfew patrol, he specifically asked for the token back and carried it with him.
This is where the token comes in handy.
Li Zhi raised his hand and threw the token towards Jia Jiajia, saying, "How about this, I'll give you this token now. From now on, you will be the strongest person."
Jia Jiajia reached out and steadily caught the token thrown by Li Zhi, with a look of confusion on his face, obviously not having fully reacted yet.
Taking advantage of Jia Jiajia's moment of distraction, Li Zhi continued, "However, Xiahou Shan didn't tell you the whole story. Although the person who gets the token is considered the strongest, he still has to go through a test."
"What test?" Jia Jiajia asked subconsciously.
Li Zhi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile, and said, "The final test is to gain Xiahou Shan's approval!"
"Xiahou Shan's approval?" Jia Jiajia frowned, muttered softly, and looked confused.
Li Zhi struck while the iron was hot and continued to persuade him: "That's right. So, you have to go to Wukou City, find Xiahou Mountain, and complete this final test!"
After hearing this, the confusion in Jia Jiajia's eyes gradually faded, replaced by a determined light. He nodded vigorously and said, "I understand! Thank you!"
After saying this, he hurriedly ran out of the house.
Looking at Jia Jiajia's receding back, Li Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.
Now that Li Zhi has shifted the blame to someone else, Jia Jiajia is now focused on finding Xiahou Shan and should not cause trouble for him again.
Li Zhi raised his head and found that the servant who had brought Jia Jiajia here was now standing beside him, staring at him with a strange look on his face.
Li Zhi rolled his eyes helplessly and said to him, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and catch up with your young master. If anything goes wrong with him, won't General Jia skin you alive?"
When the servant heard this, he shuddered all over. He didn't dare to delay any longer and ran in the direction where Jia Jiajia left.
Not long after Jia Jiajia left, Zhuang Zheng and Jia Sheng finally reached an agreement and walked out of the house talking and laughing.
Jia Sheng looked up and saw that Li Zhi was the only one left outside. He couldn't help but frown and asked unhappily, "Where is my rebellious son?"
Li Zhi bowed to Jia Sheng and replied, "In reply to General Jia, Master Jia said he wanted to go to Wukou City to find Xiahou Shan."
Jia Sheng frowned even more tightly, and muttered in a low voice: "Why go so far to Wukou City..."
Then, he turned to Zhuang Zheng and said, "Master Zhuang, you are injured. You should go back and have a good rest."
Zhuang Zheng knew that Jia Sheng was currently thinking about his son Jia Jiajia and had no intention of exchanging pleasantries with him.
However, Zhuang Zheng didn't care. After all, he had already gotten a lot of benefits from Jia Sheng on this trip, and he was already very happy and satisfied.
So, he said politely: "In that case, I will take my leave first."
After saying this, he called Li Zhi and left the Jia Mansion together.
…
After leaving the Jia Mansion, Li Zhi behaved very tactfully along the way.
He knew that the conversation between Zhuang Zheng and Jia Sheng involved their own private matters, so he kept his lips tightly shut and never asked Zhuang Zheng a single question about the matter.
This behavior made Zhuang Zheng quite satisfied, and he couldn't help but have a better impression of Li Zhi.
As they walked, Zhuang Zheng turned his head, his gaze lingering on Li Zhi for a moment, then slowly asked, "How on earth did you manage to trick Jia Jiajia into coming to Wukou City?"
In Zhuang Zheng's opinion, although Jia Jiajia's behavior was crazy and unpredictable, he would definitely not go to Wukou City for no reason. There must be something fishy going on.
Li Zhi, upon hearing Zhuang Zheng's question, remained calm and replied unhurriedly, "I gave him the token Xiahou Shan had given me and asked him to help return it to Xiahou Shan, and he left in a hurry."
After listening to Li Zhi's explanation, Zhuang Zheng had a strange look on his face.
He thought to himself, Jia Jiajia couldn't even understand normal words on a normal day, so how could he go to Wukou City obediently for such a simple reason?
Li Zhi's statement is really hard to believe.
But Zhuang Zheng did not ask any further questions. As long as Jia Jiajia stopped bothering them and did not delay their journey, he was too lazy to find out why Jia Jiajia went to Wukou City.
Zhuang Zheng nodded gently and said, "Alright, if that's the case, let's go back now. We'll leave Jingping City today and head to Luoyang."
After saying that, Zhuang Zheng quickened his pace and Li Zhi followed closely.
