Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 173 3 people

It turned out that everything was fine when they were heading to Dongzhou. The journey was smooth and there was nothing wrong.

However, when they arrived at Hongye Town, things took an unexpected turn. According to the people in the county government, spies from the enemy country had infiltrated the town, so everyone's identity needed to be checked to ensure safety.

When faced with such a situation, they naturally had no choice but to cooperate.

The identities of these people are clean. Even though Li Zhi used Zhou Fan's identity, he had already dug out all of Zhou Fan's background.

However, even though their background was clean and there was nothing to be found, the people in the county government still refused to release them.

Even though Li Zhi secretly gave their master some money, they still refused to let him go. Later, after Li Zhi patiently inquired, he finally found out the reason. It turned out that the higher-ups were strictly controlling the case and they didn't dare to let him go because the spy hadn't been caught yet.

Fortunately, Li Zhi had caught spies in Shuangyang Town and made great contributions. This made the people in the government office more polite to Li Zhi and his group, and promised to let Li Zhi and his group go first if the evidence was true.

However, they needed to go to Shuangyang Town to confirm whether what Li Zhi said was true, so Li Zhi and his team could only stay in Hongye Town temporarily.

Li Zhi simply rented a house with a yard, and several people lived there for a while.

Although they were trapped in Hongye Town, everyone was quite helpless, but they didn't say anything. They could only rely on Li Zhi to go to the county government office every day to find out when they could leave.

Li Zhi was also worried that if he stayed in one place for too long, he would attract the attention of those who were looking for him, so he actively urged the county government every day.

Fortunately, the messenger who went to Shuangyang Town finally came back today. He brought back the documents that should prove Li Zhi's identity. The county magistrate took a look and decisively waved his hand, allowing Li Zhi and his men to leave.

Now, everyone was very happy to hear Li Zhi say that they could leave.

Although they lived a very leisurely life here, they had originally come out with the intention of going to the battlefield. They had been delayed here for a long time for no reason, so naturally they wanted to leave as soon as possible.

"Okay! Then I'll go pack my things!"

Wang Yang finished the bun in his hand in no time after speaking in a hurry, then clapped his hands, looking very decisive.

Seeing Wang Yang like this, the other people also hurriedly finished their buns, and hurried to pack up and prepare to leave.

Li Zhi looked at their busy appearances and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and reveal a smile.

Suddenly, Li Zhi frowned, as if he sensed something, but he immediately returned to normal. Li Zhi said nonchalantly, "Then you guys go pack up first, I'll go buy some dry food."

Afterwards, Li Zhi went out alone.

However, Li Zhi did not go to buy dry food, but quietly went into a small alley. He moved carefully in the alley, with light steps, like a vigilant cat.

After a while, he came to an inn.

Li Zhi took a look around the inn, then found a deserted spot and climbed onto the roof quietly.

He crouched carefully to avoid being discovered. On the roof, he followed the information he got from the mosquito demon and found a location.

Li Zhi gently lifted the tiles on the roof and looked down.

There were three people sitting in the room below. They were sitting together and talking in low voices.

Li Zhi sensed a hint of danger from these three people. It was like a sharp thorn, which made him feel alarmed.

Li Zhi crouched down, his movements extremely careful, like a falling leaf, silently. He put his ear as close to the roof as possible, quietly listening to what the three people below were saying.

"Damn it! The people from the county government won't let us go. We are trapped here. How are we going to find that Li Zhi?" A burly man said ferociously, the flesh on his face trembling slightly as he spoke.

After the burly man finished speaking, he heard another person helplessly say, "What can we do? You can't just do something to the people in the county government. If you invite the Night Patrol, you will suffer!"

When Li Zhi heard this, his heart sank. These people were indeed looking for him. He didn't expect that he had been so careful all the way, and even after changing his identity, he was still tracked here.

It seems that the purpose of my whereabouts must have been figured out by some people with ulterior motives.

However, the three people below should not know that their target is also in Hongye Town at this time.

Just when Li Zhi was rejoicing, the remaining person who had been silent suddenly said, "Do you think Li Zhi will be confined to this Red Leaf Town like us?"

The man's voice was cold, like a clear spring, and it seemed particularly abrupt in this tense atmosphere.

That person's words instantly shocked the other two people. The burly man who had just spoken laughed and said, "It's not impossible! I didn't expect you, a woman, to have some brains!"

Li Zhi was surprised to find that one of the three was a woman. No wonder he felt that one of them had a softer and more delicate voice, but he had never thought about it before.

However, this is obviously not the point at the moment.

The point is that Li Zhi was shocked by what the woman said. Fortunately, he could leave soon. It seemed that he had to urge Erniu, Wang Yang and others to leave here tonight.

Otherwise, if we were met by these three people, it would be a big trouble.

After all, in the current situation, the government is looking for spies everywhere, and the investigation in all aspects is extremely strict. If a fight occurs or someone dies, it will not be easy for Li Zhi to get away.

Moreover, there were three people on the other side, and Li Zhi was not completely sure that he could defeat them.

So the best way now is to get rid of them as soon as possible. While they are restricted by the government, Li Zhi can leave here first.

Just as Li Zhi was quietly thinking about his next actions, the woman below suddenly stretched out her hand, and with a crisp "snap" sound, she slapped an inconspicuous mosquito to death.

The woman frowned and slowly spread out her palm, revealing a mosquito that she had slapped to death.

She said in a cold voice with a hint of uncertainty: "This looks like a monster?"

" The big man and another person beside him both changed their expressions, and they quickly leaned over to look at the mosquito corpse in the woman's hand.

The big man frowned and said in confusion: "Isn't this just an ordinary mosquito? Is there such a small monster?"

The other person was an old man who looked very old. He looked at the woman with some doubt and said, "Are you sure this is a monster?"

The woman closed her eyes, as if she was trying to feel something. After a moment, she opened her eyes and said confidently, "It should be correct. There is a very faint demonic aura on it. I suspect that this monster was sent by someone to monitor us!"

"Who is monitoring us? Could it be the Night Patrol?" The big man said in a deep voice, his face becoming more and more solemn. No one who found out that he was being monitored would be able to act as if nothing had happened.

The old man didn't say anything but thought quietly in his heart. Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he raised his head abruptly.

The woman raised her head at the same time as him. They looked at each other and said the name in their minds at the same time.

"Li Zhi!"

These two words were like a thunder, exploding in the room.

Their eyes were instantly filled with vigilance and alertness, and they began to search around the room, as if Li Zhi would rush out from a corner at any time.

Li Zhi on the roof was also shocked. He didn't expect that the woman was so perceptive that she could detect the abnormality of the mosquito. He knew that he had to leave here as soon as possible, otherwise, if they found him, the consequences would be disastrous.
