Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 243 Miss Yu

After coming out from the aggrieved Prefect Liu in Zhaoyang City, Fengzi Cheng looked solemn, narrowed his eyes slightly, and then said, "Let's go find that Mr. Zhao and see what's going on."

Li Zhi listened and nodded in understanding. He knew what Cheng Fengzi meant. After all, he had keenly noticed some unusual signs when he was in the government office just now.

At that time, Li Zhi found that Master Zhao seemed to be emitting a very strong yin energy. This situation was too wrong. You know, for someone like Master Zhao who has been blessed by his father since childhood, under normal circumstances, it should be difficult for ordinary evil spirits to get close to him.

Unless, an extremely special situation occurs, that is, the elder in his family who supports the power of the entire family like an Optimus Prime falls.

But if such a thing really happened, someone of the rank of Liu Zhifu of Zhaoyang City should have been able to sense some rumors. If that were the case, he wouldn't have to be so afraid of Mr. Zhao's power and be controlled by him.

Therefore, this matter was filled with an indescribable weirdness. As members of the Night Tour Division responsible for handling these incidents, Li Zhi and Cheng Fengzi would naturally not sit idly by and watch this abnormal situation happen right before their eyes without doing anything.

Li Zhi walked towards the street next to him and said, "Uncle Cheng, this way."

It turned out that Li Zhi had already made some arrangements before Master Zhao left the government office in a huff. He secretly let a mosquito demon follow Master Zhao so that he could keep track of Master Zhao's whereabouts at any time.

At this moment, relying on the connection with the mosquito demon, Li Zhi knew clearly where Master Zhao had gone.

 …

After Mr. Zhao came out of the government office, he was filled with resentment, which made his chest rise and fall violently. He really didn't expect that a mere prefect would dare not take his words seriously.

Could it be that Zhao Ju wanted to deal with someone, and he had to do it himself? Humph, this prefect Liu was simply tired of living!

Standing at the door was a man with his arms folded across his chest and holding a sword. His name was Lu San, and he was Zhao Ju's bodyguard. He saw Zhao Ju coming out of the government office angrily from a distance, and hurriedly went forward to greet him, bowing respectfully and saying, "Mr. Zhao."

Master Zhao looked back with a gloomy face at the government office that made him feel disgusted at the moment, and spat fiercely to the side with disdain, as if this could vent the resentment in his heart.

Then, he turned to Lu San and ordered fiercely: "Lu San, you have to keep a close eye on him for the next two days. If Prefect Liu still refuses to follow my orders to arrest people, then you should just go and kill the whole family, leaving no one alive! Then, put all their heads in Prefect Liu's room, and I want to see what he will do!!"

When Lu San heard this cruel and bloody order, his face remained calm as water. He just nodded slightly. His expression was as if what Mr. Zhao said were just trivial things in his daily life. There was no surprise or pity on his face.

Zhao Ju's face was gloomy and he cursed under his breath. Then he flicked his sleeves, turned around and left.

Lu Sanze followed behind him silently, his steps were steady but quick, his eyes seemed lazy and casual, but the gleam that flashed from time to time showed that he was alertly paying attention to the movements around him.

Zhao Ju was very familiar with the streets of Zhaoyang City. He moved quickly through the streets with familiarity, and there was a sense of urgency in his steps, as if something extremely important was waiting for him ahead.

After a while, they arrived in front of a large mansion.

After coming here, Zhao Ju seemed like a different person. The sinister look on his face just now disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by an obsessed look.

He first stopped and carefully straightened his slightly messy clothes, and then adjusted his collar. Then he raised his hand and knocked on the door gently, and said in an extremely gentle tone: "Miss Xiaohe, I am Zhao Ju, and I am here to look for Miss Qianyu. Please let her know."

There was an undisguised eagerness and anticipation in that voice, which was completely different from the ferocious look he had just shown in the government office.

After a while, the door creaked and slowly opened a crack, and a very pretty little girl poked her head out.

She saw Zhao Ju at a glance, and a happy smile immediately appeared on her face. She quickly opened the door and said enthusiastically: "Oh, it's Mr. Zhao. Mr. Zhao, please come and see me. Sister Qianyu is looking forward to your coming."

Upon seeing this, Zhao Ju immediately gave the little girl a gentle and friendly smile. That smile seemed to carry the warmth of the spring sun, which made people feel good about it.

Then he stepped over the threshold and walked in with big strides.

As for Lu San, he waited outside obediently and did not follow in.

Originally as the bodyguard of Master Zhao, Lu San had to follow him in for the sake of protecting Master Zhao's safety.

But when Master Zhao went in for the first time, Lv San followed him in and was slapped three times by Master Zhao. Lv San then became sensible and stopped disturbing Master Zhao's interest, and stood outside the door obediently.

This was not the first time that Young Master Zhao came here. A few months ago, by chance, Young Master Zhao met a woman named Qianyu through other young masters.

Since then, Mr. Zhao seemed to be possessed, and he would come here every day to look for the woman without fail. Every time he came, he looked so eager and full of joy.

Lu San was standing outside the door, waiting quietly. Suddenly, he casually glanced at the dark place nearby.

At a glance, he saw several guards like him slowly approaching. One of them, a slightly fat man, smiled and said to Lu San, "Brother Lu, Master Zhao is here too."

There was a familiarity in their tone, and it was obvious that they knew each other.

Lu San knew that these people were the guards of other nobles and young masters. Judging from the situation, if there were no accidents, their masters were the same as Young Master Zhao and should have gone in by now.

It seems that this place is really a good place for these young men to have fun.

 …

Young Master Zhao was chatting and laughing with Miss Xiaohe, their conversation was full of trivial and interesting things in daily life, while he walked forward with familiarity.

After passing through a short corridor, we came to a small courtyard with elegant decoration. The courtyard was full of various beautiful flowers. It was the flowering season, and the fragrance of flowers filled the air, making people feel relaxed and happy.

In the middle of the yard, beside an exquisite stone table, a woman as beautiful as a fairy was sitting there.

She was wearing a plain and elegant silk dress, the hem of which spread on the ground like a light cloud, and her figure was graceful. In front of her was an antique guzheng.

In front of her, four or five well-dressed young men were sitting in an orderly manner. They were all dressed in luxurious clothes, wearing silk and satin, and wearing exquisite accessories. Their every move revealed an innate nobleness, and it was obvious that they were children of noble families.

They seemed to have heard the sound of Master Zhao and others arriving, and they all turned around to look.

When they saw it was Zhao Ju, everyone smiled warmly. One of the young men in brocade robes was the first to greet him with a smile: "Zhao Ju, why are you so late today? Miss Qianyu said she wanted to wait for you!"

There was a sense of familiarity and teasing in his voice, and it was obvious that he had a close relationship with Zhao Ju.

Zhao Ju was overjoyed when he heard this. However, he still looked reserved and did not immediately respond to the young man who was talking to him.

He first straightened his clothes which he had arranged not long ago, and then he bowed to Miss Qianyu in front of him slowly, and said very politely: "Zhao Ju is late and made Miss Qianyu wait for a long time. It is really a sin."

His tone was full of apology, but his eyes were always fixed on Miss Qianyu, full of obsession and attachment.

Seeing this, Miss Qianyu gently covered her mouth and chuckled as clear as a silver bell. She waved her hand slightly and said gently, "It's okay, Mr. Zhao, please take a seat."

When Zhao Ju heard this, a bright smile immediately broke out on his face.
