Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 354 Sneaking into the City

Facing the team of a hundred men who were ready for battle, Yan Huaiyang, Qi Feng and the others did not show any panic in their eyes.

Although they knew in their hearts that with their strength, it was almost an impossible task to completely defeat such a well-trained and well-equipped team of a hundred people.

After all, the other side has a large number of people, strict tactical coordination and rich combat experience, and is definitely not an easy opponent.

However, their mission this time was not to annihilate the entire team, but only to contain them and create an opportunity for Cheng Fengzi and Mingyue to sneak into Yanling City.

Therefore, from the very beginning when the two sides started fighting, Yan Huaiyang and Qi Feng were not too worried.

However, Yan Huaiyang, who was in the middle of the battle, suddenly frowned. His keen intuition detected that a dangerous aura was approaching rapidly.

Without any hesitation, he shouted loudly to Qi Feng beside him: "Be careful!"

Almost at the same moment Yan Huaiyang opened his mouth, Qi Feng, with his keen perception honed from years of experience on the brink of life and death, felt a strong murderous aura surging towards him.

At this critical moment, he had no time to think, and even didn't bother to dodge the long sword swung by the soldier in front of him. Even at the risk of being hit hard on the chest by the sharp blade, he forced his body to twist and use all his strength to quickly move sideways.

The next moment, a shocking scene occurred. A ghostly figure suddenly appeared where Qi Feng was standing, so fast that people had no time to react.

Seeing this, Yan Huaiyang opened his five fingers without hesitation, and in an instant, a strange eye slowly emerged in the palm of his hand.

This eye emitted a strange light. The moment it appeared, the surrounding space seemed to be pulled by a powerful force and began to twist violently, as if the whole world was in a state of confusion.

Immediately afterwards, the figure that suddenly appeared and was about to attack Qi Feng again was shocked, and then the whole person retreated.

Yan Huaiyang also rushed to Qi Feng's side. He glanced at Qi Feng and asked, "Are you okay?"

At this time, Qi Feng's clothes on his chest were stained with blood. The shocking red color was particularly dazzling in the night.

But he gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain from the wound, and shook his head to indicate that he was fine.

When Yan Huaiyang saw Qi Feng's appearance, he felt a little relieved, knowing that his life was not in danger for the time being.

But he also knew that the situation was becoming more serious.

He turned his head and looked at the sudden figure with vigilance. Just as he was about to ask about the other party's identity, he didn't expect that the figure slowly took a step forward, exposing his face to Yan Huaiyang's sight.

Yan Huaiyang took a closer look. After just one glance, his pupils suddenly shrank, and a look of shock and disbelief appeared on his face. He couldn't help but say in a lost voice: "You... You are Zhao Da!"

Zhao Da showed a complicated smile on his face. He said to Yan Huaiyang as if he was greeting an old friend: "Huaiyang, how are you?"

Yan Huaiyang was stunned for a while, he murmured: "Since you are still alive, why do you still show up?"

Zhao Da shook his head and said slowly: "If you owe someone a favor, you must pay it back..."

Yan Huaiyang took a deep breath, his eyes fixed on Zhao Da, and he said: "Three people from the Zhao family escaped that year. Since you have revealed yourself, I guess your two brothers are here too!"

As soon as Yan Huaiyang finished speaking, two figures slowly appeared beside Zhao Da.

Qi Feng's face changed at the side. Now he was injured, and he had to work with Yan Huaiyang to deal with the hundred well-equipped soldiers, and also deal with three powerful practitioners. He was afraid that he was not strong enough.

At this time, Cheng Fengzi, who was about to sneak into Yanling City, suddenly stopped. When he saw Zhao Da and others appear, he knew that Yan Huaiyang and Qi Feng would not be able to resist them.

Fengzi Cheng looked at Mingyue beside him and said in a deep voice: "Mingyue, go find the master of the lord first, I will go and help them."

Mingyue knew the situation was urgent, so he nodded and said, "Okay!"

Then, Mingyue used the mind-seeing mirror to conceal her figure and successfully avoided everyone's sight. Without attracting anyone's attention, she entered Yanling City quietly.

As soon as she stepped into Yanling City, Mingyue immediately noticed that the atmosphere around her was a little strange.

He quickly hid himself in the shadows nearby and watched the movements around him vigilantly.

Just then, he saw a group of soldiers marching in neat steps and patrolling around.

Mingyue's heart tightened. She held her breath and carefully avoided their sight. Like an agile civet cat, she walked slowly and silently towards the depths of the city.

Although Mingyue didn't know where his master was, he knew that Magistrate He must be in the government office.

After all, the government office is the core place for controlling the affairs of the entire city and is also the safest place. It is very likely that Magistrate He will imprison his subordinates there.

Therefore, Mingyue decided without hesitation to go directly to the government office to see if she could find any trace of Prefect He and his subordinates there.

There were many patrolling teams along the way. However, Mingyue found that the quality of the soldiers in the city was obviously inferior to those outside the city.

Perhaps they felt that they were under absolute control in the city and were very safe, so they were not too serious during their patrols and seemed a little lax.

This was undoubtedly a great opportunity for Mingyue. With the help of the heart-seeing mirror, he sometimes hid in the shadows, and sometimes used the surrounding obstacles to cover his body. Soon, he successfully arrived near the government office.

Compared to outside, the guards here in the government office seemed to be more lax.

There were only two guards leaning against the gate listlessly, their heads dozing off, completely unaware of the possible dangers around them.

Seeing this, Mingyue carefully went to the side, waited for the right moment, grabbed the top of the wall with both hands, turned over lightly, and climbed over the wall into the government office.

After entering the government office, Mingyue immediately heard some subtle sounds.

He had an idea and lightened his footsteps, groping quietly towards the direction where the sound came from like a ghost.

 …

"Master...is it really okay to do this?"

Magistrate He's wife looked at her husband with concern, and even her voice was trembling.

Although Magistrate He tried his best to remain calm in front of his wife, his flickering eyes completely exposed his inner nervousness and panic.

He seemed to be comforting his wife, or to be encouraging himself, muttering to himself: "It's okay, it's okay. As long as I can climb up the big tree of Master Chen, this little thing doesn't matter! As long as I can get his protection, everything is worth it."

When his wife heard what he said, her worries did not ease, but became even more anxious.

She couldn't help but speak again: "Are they really willing to accept you? This is not a trivial matter, what if..."

She didn't finish her words, but her worry was evident.

When Magistrate He heard his wife's question, he was stunned for a moment, and the calmness he had managed to maintain was instantly broken.

A sinister look suddenly appeared on his face, and a trace of determination and madness flashed in his eyes. He said viciously: "I am cleaning up his son's ass, how dare he not accept me? If he dares to cross the river and destroy the bridge, I will..."

He clenched his fists as if protesting to someone invisible.

When Magistrate He's wife saw her master suddenly become so frightened, she turned pale, her lips trembled, and she dared not say another word.

She never imagined that some mistakes made by her own brother were inexplicably linked to a big shot.

And her husband, in order to curry favor with that big shot, actually did such a horrific thing, dragging the entire Yanling City into a huge crisis.

She was not one of those ignorant and foolish women. She knew that if no one protected her husband, the fate that awaited her family would be the destruction of the family!
