Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 548 Lend me 1

The moment he left Hanzhou and stepped into the capital, Li Zhi slowly exhaled.

Li Zhi was in mixed emotions. He had finally arrived in the capital, which meant that his mission could finally be completed.

However, although he successfully completed the mission of the Wei Dynasty this time, he was the only one who returned out of the more than one hundred people who went to the Wei Dynasty. No matter how meritorious his achievements were, he would certainly not be able to shirk the responsibility.

What's more, before going on a diplomatic mission to Wei, Li Zhi took advantage of Situ Han's support to eliminate some of the original personnel and replaced them with candidates of his own choice.

This move also made Li Zhi offend many people in the Night Patrol Division. Li Zhi believed that these people were eager to see him get into trouble. If he got into trouble, they would definitely add fuel to the fire without hesitation.

It was for this reason that Li Zhi asked the contact point to write a letter to the headquarters first, in fact, to let Situ Han know about this matter first.

After all, he was Situ Han's man, and Situ Han would probably think of a way to deal with Li Zhi.

And those who want to add fuel to the fire will not go too far for Situ Han's sake.

Li Zhi did not waste any time. After entering the capital, he went straight to the headquarters of the Night Patrol Division.

As soon as Li Zhigang stepped into the courtyard of the Night Patrol Division, he felt several gazes falling on him, some with surprise, some with inquiry, and some with subtle gloating.

He walked straight through the corridor without looking around and came to the room where Situ Han worked.

The door of Situ Han's room was not closed, it was open.

Li Zhi had been here many times and was very familiar with the place. He didn't even bother to knock on the door, pretending to be polite. He just walked in and called out, "Brother Situ!"

Situ Han was writing quickly at his desk when he suddenly heard Li Zhi's voice and looked up.

Seeing that it was Li Zhi who had returned, he smiled and said, "You are finally back..."

But when Li Zhi saw Situ Han's expression at this moment, Li Zhi couldn't help but gasp.

Situ Han's originally pale face now had a dark blue tint, his cheeks were sunken as if they were cut by a knife, only his eyes were still bright, but they looked like a candle in the wind.

This made Li Zhi's heart sink suddenly.

How could the figure in my memory, who looked sick but still tall and straight, become like this?

Situ Han now looks like a lamp that has run out of oil.

Li Zhi frowned as he watched. He couldn't help but step forward and asked with concern, "Brother Situ! Are you okay?"

Hearing the concern in Li Zhi's words, Situ Han put down his wolf hair brush and forced a smile, but the smile fell into the deep hollows of his cheeks, making him look particularly desolate.

He opened his mouth and was about to say something when his chest felt tight and he couldn't help coughing violently.

“Cough cough... cough cough... cough...”

Situ Han put his hand over his mouth, and a few spots of scarlet blood seeped out from between his fingers, which made Li Zhi's pupils shrink suddenly.

"Brother Situ!"

Li Zhi quickly placed his palm on his back, and the Living Wood Qi flowed in like a trickle. As the Living Wood Qi flowed through Situ Han's body, the tangled blockages were temporarily relieved, and the coughing gradually subsided.

Li Zhi didn't want to expose the Qi of Living Wood in front of Situ Han, but seeing Situ Han's current condition, Li Zhi didn't find it strange to say that he died while coughing.

Therefore, Li Zhi had no choice but to use the Qi of living wood to protect Situ Han's heart meridians and prevent him from coughing to death.

Situ Han felt the living wood energy transmitted into his body by Li Zhi, and his eyes flashed.

Situ Han leaned back in his chair, panting, his pale lips showing a hint of blood. He looked at Li Zhi, smiled with difficulty, and said, "I'm fine, but you... are in big trouble..."

Li Zhi's face darkened. Could it be that even Situ Han, the deputy chief, couldn't protect him in the Wei Dynasty?

Li Zhi was anxious and was about to ask Situ Han for a solution when he saw a smile on Situ Han's lips.

This made Li Zhi realize that Situ Han was deliberately trying to scare him.

However, Li Zhi also cooperated and bowed, saying sincerely: "Please save me, big brother!"

Situ Han nodded slowly and said, "I have already discussed this matter with the Grand Secretary. Your contributions to the Wei Dynasty have been thoroughly verified... and there is no fraud..."

Situ Han paused as he spoke, as if trying to calm his urge to cough. He slowed down and continued, "As for... the deaths of the delegation, you are indeed guilty and responsible, but... the merits and demerits offset each other. You should not think about the credit for the Wei Dynasty this time..."

Li Zhi was delighted, as offsetting the merits and demerits was the best outcome for him.

Li Zhi originally took on this task because he had his eyes on the 1,000 contribution points. He wanted to use them to exchange for water-based energy to stimulate his kidney water.

But now his kidney water level has been activated long ago, and these 1,000 contribution points are not that important to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi felt it was a good deal as it could be used to offset some of the punishment.

Situ Han continued, "Well... However, after this incident, you still need to go and apologize to the emperor..."

Li Zhi also knew this. After all, when he went to Wei, the emperor had specifically asked him to give him several tasks. Although the tasks had been completed now, some problems had occurred, and he definitely needed to report them clearly to the emperor.

However, Li Zhi didn’t know what the emperor’s attitude was. If the emperor got furious because of this, wouldn’t he be walking a sheep into the tiger’s mouth?

So, Li Zhi asked, "Brother Situ, I wonder...what is the emperor's attitude?"

Situ Han waved his hand nonchalantly and explained to Li Zhi, "Don't worry, the Grand Secretary has already gone to the palace to see the emperor and explained everything to him... Then, the emperor will at most punish you..."

Hearing this, Li Zhi also breathed a sigh of relief.

However, just as Li Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, he saw Situ Han suddenly tremble violently, and cold sweat instantly soaked his clothes.

Li Zhi hurriedly transferred the living wood qi into his body, but the living wood qi was running wildly, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no reaction at all.

Li Zhi frowned, thought about it, and suddenly gritted his teeth. Taking the opportunity of transmitting the Qi of living wood, he took the opportunity to explore Situ Han's body.

Li Zhi was also aware that this practice was extremely presumptuous and very unpleasant.

Because doing so is equivalent to exposing a person to others without reservation.

But seeing Situ Han's appearance at the moment, Li Zhi really couldn't help it, so he took the risk of being disliked by Situ Han and forcibly checked Situ Han's physical condition.

Situ Han also noticed Li Zhi's actions, but he just frowned and finally sighed, but did not resist at all and let Li Zhi explore.

As Li Zhi continued his investigation, he could see clearly what was happening inside Situ Han's body.

Li Zhi's expression became increasingly ugly.

Situ Han's internal organs had long since decayed, and his meridians were broken everywhere. There wasn't a single healthy spot on his body!

With such a serious injury, Li Zhi couldn't understand why Situ Han could still sit here and talk to him as if nothing had happened.

"Brother...your body..."

Situ Han waved his hand, interrupting what Li Zhi was about to say. He whispered, "I know my life is coming to an end..."

Li Zhi's heart suddenly tightened, and he was about to speak to comfort her, but was interrupted by Situ Han.

"Before I go, I have a favor to ask..."

Situ Han's eyes became extremely serious. He held Li Zhi's wrist, and his skinny fingers turned white due to the force.

"I want to borrow your... Five Internal Organs Qi!"
