Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 284 Meeting an old friend by chance

After hearing Li Zhi's words, the woman seemed to have suddenly seen a ray of light in the darkness. She raised her head suddenly, and a look of hope appeared on her face involuntarily.

After hearing Li Zhi's proposal, Hong Fan frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. His eyes revealed a trace of thinking and weighing, and his fingers tapped his thighs unconsciously, as if he was carefully considering the feasibility and pros and cons of this plan.

On the contrary, it was Prefect He who nodded without thinking and said, "This is a good idea!"

His face was filled with smiles, and in that smile there was a hint of relief and joy.

Li Zhi secretly rolled his eyes in his heart. He knew clearly why Magistrate He applauded so much.

Isn't it obvious? This proposal undoubtedly cleverly pushed the difficult problems in Sanyang City to Minglei City.

Once they arrive in Minglei City, even if there are any problems later, it will have nothing to do with Lao He. He can naturally rest assured and no longer have to worry about such troubles.

Li Zhi approached Hong Fan and whispered, "Captain, if they settle in Minglei City, it will be convenient for us to investigate..."

After pondering for a moment, Hong Fan felt that what Li Zhi said did make sense.

In this way, with their Night Tour Division C, the woman and the baby can live a normal life under the protection of the C. Moreover, there is no need to worry about the situation that if the child turns into a demon and goes crazy in the future, no one can subdue him.

After all, Office C has professional personnel and response plans that can ensure the safety and stability of all parties.

So, Hong Fan nodded slightly and said, "Okay, let's do as you say."

As he spoke, he looked up at Prefect He and said calmly, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Prefect, to send someone to send them to the Minglei City Night Tour Division C Yamen. We have official duties to attend to and really can't spare the time."

When Governor He saw that someone was finally willing to take over this hot potato that had given him such a headache, he was overjoyed and certainly had no intention of rejecting Hong Fan's request.

He nodded quickly, smiling widely, and patted his chest to promise that he would send them to the C-type yamen safely.

And because of Li Zhi's proposal, He Zhifu became more and more fond of Li Zhi. He patted Li Zhi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Young people are formidable!"

You know, when Li Zhi and Hong Fan went to the government office together just now, the prefect didn't even look at Li Zhi, as if Li Zhi was just an insignificant little person in his eyes.

At this moment, because of the solution proposed by Li Zhi, he successfully got out of the predicament. His attitude suddenly made a 180-degree turn and he became much more polite to Li Zhi. This change in attitude before and after really made people sigh.

However, as a local prefect, a dignified fourth-rank official, he held a high position in the hierarchy of Yongguo's officialdom. It was understandable that he did not take Li Zhi, a mere member of the Yeyousi branch, seriously.

After all, according to the normal comparison of official ranks, although the Yeyousi is quite special, an ordinary Yeyousi member like Li Zhi, if we only talk about rank, is only equivalent to an official of the seventh rank.

Even a captain like Hong Fan was only of the fifth or sixth rank. Only when one reached the higher rank of a lieutenant could one surpass the prefect in status and rank.

Therefore, faced with the Governor He's superb and astonishingly quick skill of changing his expression, although Li Zhi felt helpless, he could only force a smile and nod in agreement with him.

Li Zhi knew very well that his current identity and status were not enough to compete with a powerful person like Prefect He. He did not want to offend the other party for no reason because of a seemingly insignificant matter that was related to the human relations in officialdom, which would add unnecessary trouble and obstacles to his future actions and development.

After exchanging polite greetings with Prefect He, Li Zhi and his companions parted ways with Prefect He.

Prefect He ordered the bailiffs in the yamen to send the mother and son to Minglei City.

Li Zhi and his team quickly put their energy into the main task. Now they were all outside the city, so they started to carefully explore from outside the city.

They followed the roads and fields outside the city and went deep into the streets and alleys of Sanyang City, leaving no corner unsearched and searching carefully for possible signs of abnormalities.

However, during the exploration all the way into Sanyang City, there were no special or noteworthy discoveries.

This also made Li Zhi and Hong Fan breathe a sigh of relief at the same time. As for such an extremely strange thing as the Fantasy World Tree, they also hoped that there would be no trace of it in Leizhou.

Seeing that it was getting late, Hong Fan looked up at the sky, then turned to look at Li Zhi and suggested: "It's getting late today, why don't we rest here for a night."

Li Zhi thought about it for a moment, then nodded and agreed.

After all, Li Zhi had been to Sanyang City before and had some understanding of the situation around Sanyang City. He knew that the surrounding small villages had poor conditions and there was no suitable place to stay.

If they did not rest in Sanyang City but chose to continue on their journey, they would most likely have to sleep on the streets tonight, which was not a wise move for them after a day of hard work.

After finding a clean and tidy restaurant in Sanyang City, Li Zhi and Hong Fan had a simple meal to replenish their energy.

After dinner, Li Zhi got up and was about to go back to the inn to rest, but unexpectedly saw a familiar figure on the street.

The figure was looming in the crowd, but it made Li Zhi's eyes widen instantly, and an irrepressible surprise and confusion surged in his heart. He couldn't help but wonder inwardly, how could this person appear here?

With deep doubts in his heart, Li Zhi hurriedly greeted Hong Fan, and then he quickly chased after the familiar figure.

At this time, the streets were bustling with people coming and going, like a tide.

Li Zhi struggled to move forward in the crowd and almost lost the man several times. Fortunately, Li Zhi's mosquito demon had been following the target closely, just like his effective eyeliner. With the guidance of the mosquito demon, Li Zhi was able to follow the man closely and not get lost.

After a while, Li Zhi successfully caught up with the man.

I saw the man standing in front of a steaming and fragrant bun stall, his eyes fixed on the basket of freshly-baked, fragrant meat buns. His mouth unconsciously opened slightly, and he swallowed his saliva while staring intently, looking as if he had been hungry for a long time.

Li Zhi looked at the man quietly and was secretly surprised.

After not seeing him for a long time, the man had obviously grown a lot and no longer looked the same as he did in my memory.

But he was covered in dirt, which was quite different from the image Li Zhi had encountered before.

What puzzled Li Zhi even more was that the man seemed to be alone here. Li Zhi had thought that his master should be with him, but the fact that he was alone was really beyond his expectation.

Li Zhi observed quietly for a while, his doubts and curiosity grew stronger, and finally he couldn't hold back and walked forward slowly.

He took a deep breath and said softly: "Mingyue...why are you here?"
