Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 444 Jia Jiajia

After leaving Zhengwang City, Zhuang Zheng, who had been tense for a long time, finally relaxed.

He turned around, looked at Li Zhi seriously, and said with a straight face, "Messenger Li, are you aware of the disaster you nearly caused?"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhi smiled gently and asked, "Master Zhuang, why do you say that? I don't understand. I hope Master Zhuang can explain it to me."

Zhuang Zheng pointed his finger directly at Li Zhi, his tone blaming him. "Don't play dumb with me! You clearly have General Xiahou's token, so why didn't you tell me earlier? Do you know that if I didn't have some connection with the Xu family, you wouldn't be able to leave Zhengwang City!"

Li Zhi sighed helplessly and explained, "You didn't ask me. And I thought with you leading the team, we wouldn't be harassed. But then I was really forced into a corner, with nowhere else to go, so I took out General Xiahou's token with the mentality of giving it a try."

After listening to Li Zhi's explanation, Zhuang Zheng understood in his heart that, after all, it was the soldiers guarding the city who did not give him face that led to this situation. It was indeed not appropriate to blame Li Zhi and others too much.

So he didn't say anything more.

Zhuang Zheng looked at Li Zhi and said in a calmer tone, "Give me the token. With this token, the other defenders won't dare to stop us."

Li Zhi naturally knew that Zhuang Zheng's identity combined with Xiahou Shan's token would definitely be much better than directly showing the token himself.

So, without any hesitation, he took out the token and handed it to Zhuang Zheng.

Zhuang Zheng took the token and examined it carefully, confirming it was indeed a genuine garrison general's order. He muttered to himself, "What luck! I don't know how you managed to gain such high regard from General Xiahou."

Li Zhi did not hear Zhuang Zheng's muttering, otherwise, he would have to talk to Zhuang Zheng about how he risked his life to win Xiahou Shan's appreciation.

Everyone hurried along the way, and before long, they arrived at the next big city - Jingping City.

This time, Zhuang Zheng held the token and went directly to the person in charge of the city gate.

When the person in charge of the city gate saw the token, he did not dare to be negligent at all. He hurriedly ordered his men not to stop them and let Li Zhi and his men enter the city smoothly.

This time, they were not blocked from entering the city, and Zhuang Zheng's face looked much better. He looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late. Let's rest here for the night and continue our journey tomorrow."

Li Zhi and the others naturally had no objection and nodded in response: "Okay, then I'll trouble Master Zhuang to arrange it."

So, everyone came to Huitong Hall in Jingping City and prepared to stay there for one night.

 …

It was late at night, the moon was dark and the wind was strong, and there was silence all around.

Li Zhi, who had already fallen asleep with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.

In front of him, a dark shadow was squatting quietly at the head of the bed, staring at him intently.

Li Zhi was shocked, but he did not hesitate at all. He clenched his fists and punched the man hard.

The man was very close to Li Zhi, and Li Zhi was confident that at such a close distance, the other party had no chance of dodging.

However, to Li Zhi's surprise, the man not only did not dodge the swift punch, but grinned instead.

Then, his neck jerked violently, the movement so fast and forceful that Li Zhi could even clearly hear a crisp "crack."

The man tilted his neck to avoid Li Zhi's fist, then kicked his feet hard and quickly retreated.

Li Zhi thought he was going to escape, so without hesitation, he reached for the bed with his right hand and tightly grasped the black sword.

Then he turned his wrist and swung the sword.

In the dark night, the black sword seemed to blend into the darkness and was difficult to be detected.

But the man seemed unaffected by the darkness. Facing this sharp sword, he retreated again and easily avoided Li Zhi's attack.

Li Zhi's two consecutive moves failed, and he immediately realized that the person in front of him was a martial arts master and was definitely not an ordinary person.

He turned his wrist and the black sword slashed across, precisely aiming for the candle wick on the table.

With a "sizzle", the candle was lit, and the dim candlelight instantly illuminated the room.

Li Zhi half-closed his eyes and looked carefully at the person in front of him in the dim candlelight.

I saw that this man had a burly figure and was wearing a dark red silk suit made of high-quality fabric and fine workmanship. It was obvious at a glance that he was of extraordinary status.

However, in stark contrast to his expensive attire, his appearance was extremely ordinary. Furthermore, for some reason, Li Zhi sensed something strange in his demeanor, as if something was amiss.

However, although the person in front of him looked a little strange, Li Zhi did not sense any hostility or murderous intent from him.

So, Li Zhi asked, "Who are you? What brings you here so late at night?"

When the man heard Li Zhi's question, he also said, "I came to see you because the Xiahoushan token is for you."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Li Zhi understood why he had sensed something was wrong with his demeanor. This man looked to be in his thirties or forties, but his tone of voice was childish, tender and innocent.

Li Zhi frowned and asked, "How do you know Xiahou Shan's token is for me?"

You know, Li Zhi had already given Xiahou Shan's token to Zhuang Zheng when he entered the city, and he never took it back.

The man said slowly, "I just went to another room, and he told me that the token is yours."

Li Zhi's eyes flashed, and he asked anxiously: "Where is that man? Is he okay?"

The man grinned and said, "It's okay, I just knocked him out."

Li Zhi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Zhuang Zheng was fine.

After all, Zhuang Zheng is responsible for all their related matters in Wei. If he encounters an accident, Li Zhi and others will definitely be implicated, and their itinerary in Wei will be delayed.

Li Zhi looked at the man again and asked, "Who are you?"

When the man heard Li Zhi's question, he stood up straight as if by reflex and said loudly: "My name is Jia Jiajia, my father is Jia Huang, and my grandfather is Jia Ri..."

Seeing him suddenly start to recite his family tree, Li Zhi couldn't help but be stunned. He quickly stretched out his hand, made a stop gesture, and said: "Stop, stop, stop..."

Jia Jiajia was interrupted by Li Zhi, with an aggrieved look on his face. He curled his lips and muttered softly, "I've been carrying it for a long time..."

Li Zhi's brows couldn't help but twitch. He frowned and asked again, "Who are you?"

Jia Jiajia puffed out his chest and said, "My name is Jia Jiajia, and my father is..."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Li Zhi hurriedly interrupted him again.

This time, Jia Jiajia not only curled his lips, but also frowned, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.

Seeing him like this, Li Zhi cursed in his heart: Damn it, how could I meet a lunatic?
