Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

"Sure enough, something is wrong!"

Cheng Fengzi crouched down, using the cover of night to cleverly hide his figure, while lowering his voice to a very low level, muttering softly.

Mingyue, who was standing by, looked extremely anxious. He said anxiously, "Uncle Cheng, Yanling City has been sealed off for a whole day, and the Lord is still trapped inside..."

Seeing this, Fengzi Cheng quickly comforted him, "Don't worry, if the prefect of Yanling City is not really planning a rebellion, he will never dare to take action against the lord easily."

Although she had been comforted by Cheng Fengzi, Mingyue still had a worried look on her face. She stared at the patrolling soldiers coming and going in front of her, muttering to herself, "What should we do now? This is not a solution."

Cheng Fengzi was not panicked at all. He said confidently, "It's okay. Our people will be here soon!"

During the time Mingyue worked in the Night Patrol Division, she knew very well that each of the members of Class C were tough guys and had unique skills.

So, knowing that reinforcements were coming, Mingyue tried hard to suppress her inner anxiety, squatted quietly in the corner, and waited patiently.

After a while, I heard a slight "click" sound behind me.

Mingyue suddenly became alert and looked back quickly.

They saw two figures walking slowly towards them in the darkness, their steps light and steady, they were obviously well-trained masters.

Mingyue looked carefully and saw that both of them were wearing the Night Patrol's iconic green costumes.

When Mingyue saw who was coming, his eyes suddenly lit up and a look of joy appeared on his face, knowing that reinforcements had finally arrived. He stood up impatiently, rushed to greet them, and said excitedly to the newcomers: "Brother Chu! Uncle Yan! You are finally here!"

Yan Huaiyang had a thick beard and a rough and bold aura. When he saw Mingyue, he laughed, stretched out his big hand like a palm leaf fan, gently rubbed Mingyue's head, and said, "Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing? Don't you consider Uncle Yan as your own?"

Mingyue scratched his head in embarrassment. Although he was most familiar with Cheng Fengzi, he also had good relations with other members of the C-Class. However, he knew that such disappearances were not under the jurisdiction of the Night Tour Division, and rashly asking them for help might bring them trouble.

Qi Feng stood aside, expressionlessly twisting his neck, making a series of "clicking" sounds. He said sternly, "This Yanling City prefect is too bold! He actually dared to arrest the leader. He doesn't take us seriously at all!"

Yan Huaiyang looked at Fengzi Cheng and asked, "Old Cheng, tell me, what should we do next?"

In fact, Fengzi Cheng had already planned a countermeasure in his mind before they arrived. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "You and Xiao Qi will attract the other party's attention in the front, make a big noise, create some chaos, and lead those soldiers away. Mingyue and I will take the opportunity to sneak in from the back, find the location of the leader, and then find a way to rescue him."

Yan Huaiyang and Qi Feng had no objection to Cheng Fengzi's arrangement. They looked at each other and then slowly walked towards Yanling City.

Cheng Fengzi watched their departing backs until they disappeared into the darkness. Then he turned around, looked at Mingyue, and asked, "Do you have the mirror with you, kid?"

Mingyue nodded quickly and reached out to take out the mind-seeing mirror from her arms.

This mind-seeing mirror has been in Mingyue's hands for some time, but because Taoist Zhenfeng did not teach Mingyue specifically how to use it, Mingyue has never been able to actually use it.

However, Mingyue was not simply doing odd jobs in the Yeyou Division during this period. As for magic spells and the uses of the Mind-Reading Mirror, he gradually mastered some of the tricks and uses through constant practice and exploration, as well as consulting the seniors in the Yeyou Division.

Using the mind-seeing mirror to conceal one's figure was one of the uses he figured out.

However, this spell to conceal one's body shape has a great drawback. Once one encounters an opponent with some experience, or accidentally hits some obstacles, it will be easily exposed and discovered.

However, if it is used in times of chaos, while the enemy is in a state of disarray, you can take advantage of the situation and sneak into Yanling City.

 …

Magistrate He had just put down his bowl and chopsticks, ending this rather dull dinner, and was about to get up.

Then he heard a servant coming in hurriedly to report that someone was not aware of his own life and was trying to break into Yanling City, and was currently fighting fiercely with the soldiers guarding the city.

He Zhifu had a gloomy face. He slowly turned his head and looked coldly at Shen Lie who was surrounded by five elite soldiers. He said coldly: "I guess your people are here..."

Shen Lie just smiled calmly when he heard this. He raised his head slightly, met the cold gaze of He Zhifu, and said slowly: "You have trapped me here for a whole day. The people below can't see me coming back, so they will naturally come to look for me."

After hearing what Shen Lie said, Magistrate He suddenly burst into laughter, and the laughter was particularly harsh in the silent room.

He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I had anticipated this situation, so I specially invited people to entertain them in advance!"

As he spoke, Magistrate He's face turned cold, and he waved his hand at a servant who was waiting on the side and dared not even breathe, and ordered sternly: "Go, quickly ask the Zhao brothers to help!"

"Brother Zhao?"

When Shen Lie heard the name, he couldn't help but frowned.

The name sounds familiar, but for a moment, I can't remember who it is.

When Prefect He saw this, a smug look appeared on his face, as if he was showing off the secrets he knew, and as if he was kind enough to give Shen Lie a "hint", he slowly reminded him: "Master Shen, have you forgotten the Zhao family incident in Huaqing City eight years ago?"

When Shen Lie heard the words "Huaqing City Zhao Family Incident", his eyes flickered instantly, and it was like a flash of lightning passed through his mind, and he instantly remembered the tragic scene of that year.

He couldn't help but take a breath, with a look of shock and disbelief on his face, and couldn't help but ask: "Could it be that you saved the three brothers back then? How is this possible..."

He Zhifu shook his head, still with that unfathomable smile on his face. He smiled and said, "I don't have that much ability..."

Shen Lie's heart sank suddenly after hearing Magistrate He's answer. If that was the case, there must be another force behind this.

Moreover, it was precisely because of the existence of this force that Magistrate He was willing to take action against himself even at the risk of being charged with rebellion.

In addition, the fact that he was able to rescue the orphan of the Zhao family without anyone noticing, right under the noses of so many people, the ability and power hidden behind it should not be underestimated.

Prefect He seemed very satisfied with Shen Lie's shocked expression at the moment. He raised his head slightly, the smile on his face became more and more proud, and he chuckled softly: "You are also shocked, right? To be honest, I am too..."
