Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 433 Let’s End This

"General!"

The bodyguards who had been watching the show from the sidelines could no longer sit still.

Their faces were filled with anxiety and anger. They rushed towards Xiahou Shan like a tide and helped him up.

At the same time, some other personal soldiers quickly and tacitly surrounded Li Zhi. There was a fierce light flashing in their eyes, and they put on a posture as if facing a powerful enemy, as if as long as the order was given, Li Zhi would be killed on the spot in the next moment.

Fortunately, just as they were about to attack, Xiahou Shan endured the severe pain and shouted at the top of his voice: "Stop!"

Li Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze was as sharp as a torch, and he stared at Xiahou Shan with a wary look.

Xiahou Shan slowly stood up with the help of his personal soldiers. He covered his left eye tightly with one hand, blood seeping out from between his fingers, and his right eye was blood red.

Li Zhi's move just now was extremely brutal, and Xiahou Shan is still frightened.

If he hadn't reacted quickly and turned his head to avoid the attack in time, both of his eyes would have been destroyed by Li Zhi.

Xiahou Shan stared at Li Zhi with a burning gaze for a long while, then nodded slowly and said, "Alright, you are a very brave boy. This is an explanation to me. Let's stop here and leave it at that!"

When Li Zhi heard this, a light flashed in his eyes. Although he was a little surprised that Xiahou Shan was suddenly so straightforward, he still felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, they are now in the territory of Wei. Xiahou Shan, as the commander-in-chief of the Shan Camp, holds great power. If he really wants to deal with the Yongguo delegation, he has plenty of ways to do it.

This is also the reason why Li Zhi, knowing that he might face danger, still followed Xiahou Shan's personal guards to the teahouse without hesitation.

He knew in his heart that as envoys from a vassal state, they had no power to refuse in the territory of the Wei Dynasty.

Now that Xiahou Shan no longer pursued the matter, Li Zhi's heart was finally at ease.

Li Zhi calmed himself down, saluted Xiahou Shan with one hand, and said, "Thank you, General Xiahou, for your generosity! I will take my leave now."

Now that the matter was settled, Li Zhi didn't want to stay any longer. He just wanted to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible and find a place to heal his wounds and relieve the pain.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Zhi finished speaking, Xiahou Shan said, "Don't leave in a hurry. Stay here and have a simple meal tonight."

When Li Zhi heard this, he was stunned and couldn't help showing a look of surprise on his face.

He really didn't expect that Xiahou Shan wanted to kill him one second, and suddenly invited him to stay for dinner the next second. The attitude changed so quickly that he was unable to react for a while.

Xiahou Shan did not seem to be going to give Li Zhi a chance to refuse. He waved his hand and ordered the guards beside him, "Go and ask Doctor Park from Yuntai Clinic to come over. Tell him that there are two injured people here and the situation is urgent."

Upon hearing this, the soldier nodded quickly, turned around and left quickly.

Xiahou Shan turned his head and looked at Li Zhi again, explaining, "Doctor Park is a skilled doctor and is well-known in this area. Let him take a look at you, which is much safer than going out to find a clinic on your own, and it will also help you get better as soon as possible."

Xiahou Shan had already said this, and Li Zhi couldn't refuse any further.

He bowed slightly, nodded and said, "In that case, I'd better obey your command. Thank you for your kindness, General Xiahou!"

Although Li Zhi still had some doubts in his heart, he could only suppress them for the moment and see what Xiahou Shan was planning.

 …

Although the Qi in Li Zhi's body was suppressed by the destiny of the Wei Dynasty, it was not as still as a dead pool of water.

In fact, the Qi was still running tenaciously in his meridians, but at an extremely slow speed, like wriggling in sticky mud.

At this moment, Li Zhi was forced to stay by Xiahou Shan. Being bored, he simply circulated the living wood Qi in his body to slowly heal the shocking injury on his shoulder.

He closed his eyes tightly, immersed in a state of self-healing, and the noise from the outside world seemed to have nothing to do with him.

After Doctor Pu from Yuntai Medical Clinic hurried over and treated Xiahou Shan's eyes.

He began to check Li Zhi's injuries, and was shocked.

Because he found that Li Zhi's injuries had miraculously healed by nearly 30%.

Doctor Park was full of doubts, but he had no time to investigate further. He just bandaged Li Zhi's shoulder carefully, and then reminded him with concern: "It is best not to use your left hand in the near future to avoid worsening of the injury. Remember this."

After saying this, Dr. Park hurriedly said goodbye and left.

Xiahou Shan, who was standing aside, had his left eye carefully bandaged, leaving only his right eye exposed, his gaze still as sharp as an eagle's.

He subconsciously reached out and touched his bandaged left eye, looked at Li Zhi, and said with a complicated smile: "You are really ruthless, kid. But you are also ruthless to yourself. Aren't you afraid that I will really kill you with that punch?"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhi smiled modestly and responded, "In terms of martial arts alone, there is a huge gap between me and the general. I am not as good as the general. If I don't take the risk and take extraordinary measures, I'm afraid I won't even have a chance to fight back."

Xiahou Shan nodded thoughtfully, then asked, "So, it was for this reason that you dared to sneak into the city alone and take over the East Gate that day?"

Li Zhi frankly admitted, "That's right. At that time, the difference in strength between the enemy and us was huge. A head-on fight would only lead to death, and hiding would not help us get out of the predicament. I really had no other choice but to take this risky move. I hope the general will forgive me."

Xiahou Shan waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "The winner is the king, and the loser is the enemy. On the battlefield, it is understandable to use any means to win."

Li Zhi glanced at Xiahou Shan and complained in his heart: Why weren't you so open-minded before we started fighting? You looked like you wanted to kill me.

However, he naturally would not show these thoughts, and still had a smile on his face, saying respectfully: "The general is indeed broad-minded, which is admirable!"

In this way, Li Zhi and Xiahou Shan chatted casually, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Not long after, the adjutant of the Shanzi Camp hurried over.

When he saw Xiahou Shan's half face wrapped in bandages, his heart suddenly tightened. Even though he had heard about the situation from his subordinates before coming, he still couldn't hide his anxiety when he saw it with his own eyes. He said with concern: "General! Are you okay?"

Xiahou Shan waved to the adjutant and said, "Lao Fang, you're here. It's just right. I've asked someone to reserve a table at Jin Cui Xuan. Let's go over there now."

The adjutant was still worried and asked again: "General, are you sure everything is fine?"

Xiahou Shan replied impatiently: "Can you please stop talking so much? Look, I can stand and walk, what can happen? Hurry up, don't dawdle."

After saying that, he stood up and strode towards the door.

The adjutant shook his head helplessly, his eyes inadvertently sweeping over Li Zhi, he saw that his shirt was open, half of his body was wrapped in bandages, and he looked like he was seriously injured and had not recovered yet.

The adjutant swallowed the words of reproach that were about to come out of his mouth, and then quickly followed Xiahou Shan's footsteps.
