Chapter Eleven: Crisis, Escape

  On this day, Li Zhe was packing his things and preparing to cross over when a sudden phone call came in. He picked it up and saw that it was his long-unseen third brother. With a thud, Li Zhe's heart sank a little.

  "Third brother, how have you been lately?" Li Zhe picked up the phone and greeted him with a casual remark.

  "What's coming from the receiver isn't anything good, it sounds ominous: "Li Zhe! You little brat! Now that you've made a fortune, you think you can forget about your Third Brother?"

  "Where is it?"

  "Is that so? I've heard that you've been keeping a big business deal from me lately! You'd better get it straight, in this Zhongzhou place, nothing can escape my eyes."

  It's gone bad, our own affairs have indeed leaked out, San Ge and his gang must have heard the news.

  "Oh! That thing! Was it Hai Ge who told you? I was just a gofer in that matter. Just earning some extra money, nothing big." Li Zhe hastily explained.

  "It's not that simple, a business worth tens of millions, no matter how you put it, even if you just show a little from the gap between your fingers, it's enough for poor guys like us to spend lavishly. You little brat, haven't you crossed the river yet and already want to demolish the bridge?" By this point, Third Brother's tone had become vicious.

  That son of a bitch, Ni Ma's Hai Ge Er, must have leaked the information to San Ge Er. This guy, Li Zhe should have given him a discount without any hesitation, how dare he play this trick afterwards? Li Zhe cursed in his heart.

  These people are local snakes, and any business that goes through the area, they will definitely get a cut of the profits. Li Zhe's multi-million dollar deal this time was completely under wraps, only a few insiders knew about it, and it was done so quickly that San Ge and his gang didn't even have a chance to get involved, which made them very unhappy. If Li Zhe were really a powerful figure, they might have let him off, but he's just a university student from the countryside who has been living in this city for some time, and San Ge and his gang had already figured out his background, so how could they possibly let him get away with it?

  "Third brother! Things aren't like that. This time's business, it was all big shots behind the scenes, I'm just a small fry, how dare I get involved? I really am just a errand boy!" Li Zhe didn't dare reveal the true situation, so he could only make something up to gloss over it.

  Then all that could be heard was, "Go to NM." With a loud crash, Li Zhe's gate was kicked open. A strong gust of wind swept in, bringing with it a chill that filled the entire house. A group of people emerged from the cold wind, each holding something in their hands. The one at the front, still wearing sunglasses despite the freezing winter, exuded an aura that was both imposing and intimidating - none other than San Ge, the most notorious thug in the eastern city.

  This group of people had been lying in wait for Li Zhe outside a long time ago!

  If it were the old Li Zhe, seeing such a lineup, he might have softened his hands and feet immediately, and surrendered, every single one of the big sons on him would have been searched by these guys, and after the incident was over, they might even be killed to silence them.

  But how could Li Zhe be so timid now? Having witnessed the brutal killings of thousands on the battlefield, this little commotion is nothing!

  It's too late when it's said!

  Li Zhe took a look and saw that the situation was not right, so he casually picked up a stool and threw it over. Taking advantage of San Ge and others dodging to the side, he quickly slipped into the kitchen.

  San Ge and others were old hands at housebreaking, how could they let him escape easily? The two of them blocked the door, and the others immediately chased after him. They rushed into the kitchen to take a look, but there was no one in sight, only an empty window swaying back and forth.

  With a nimble foot, he stepped onto the windowsill, ready to jump down and continue the chase.

  Third brother slapped a loud slap on this fool's head.

  "You're crazy! This is the sixth floor!"

  Everyone was busy like a beehive, leaning on the windowsill to look down. But it wasn't! The height of the sixth floor made their heads dizzy when looking down, and Li Zhe's figure had long since disappeared from view.

  How strange!

  Search! San Ge's eyes turned fierce.

  A group of people started sweeping the house with a fierce and evil spirit.

  But the house rented by Li Zhe, a small self-built tube building in the urban village, is only over 20 square meters, what can be hidden? Even if this group of people are good at searching, they won't gain anything. On the contrary, the sausage and instant noodle packaging that Li Zhe eats every day are scattered all over the floor. The room is a mess.

  This little brat is really ruthless! This sixth floor, he actually dares to jump! Third brother suddenly feels a bit chilly on his back.

  ……

  Li Zhe didn't jump off a building and die, but rather used the main skill of his Time-Space Rogue title - Teleportation.

  Li Zhe has now arrived in the Three Kingdoms!

  Sanli Pu, once a small village, is now the most prosperous place in the northern part of Runan County. Within just one month, a large number of refugees have gathered here, with over 10,000 people, including more than 5,000 young and strong men. They control a vast area around Dingying County, where there are countless fortresses and bandits, but they all rely on Sanli Pu for survival.

  This is the power of decisive force.

  The battle of Yujiabao is considered one of the largest battles in Dingying County in recent years, with nearly 10,000 troops deployed on both sides, fighting for several days, and blood flowing like a river. As a result, the once-dominant Yujiabao family in northern Runan Prefecture was destroyed, and a new force emerged like a comet, becoming the new overlord without dispute.

  Of course, these are all rumors on the internet. Rumors and hearsay should not be taken as true. As a person involved, Li Zhe doesn't think that victory is anything to brag about, it's just a group of country bumpkins fighting, maybe not even as good-looking as the street fights of the triads.

  However, it was precisely this battle that established the prestige and intimidation of the Sanli Puping migrants in Dingying County, and as more and more people poured in, the news spread further and further, and this intimidation also had a tendency to expand to the surrounding areas. In other words, if Li Zhe were to really raise his own flag to recruit soldiers and buy horses now, he might actually have the possibility of becoming a small but famous warlord in the chaotic world.

  Of course Li Zhe would never do that, his eyes were always fixed on the movements of the surrounding forces.

  "The divine fire" business is slowly unfolding, in Yingchuan and Xudu, there are already storefronts starting to buy and sell, and even farther away in Jingzhou, Yangzhou, and Xuzhou, the legendary goods of the immortal family are also beginning to spread. Many young masters from wealthy families have heard about this strange object and tried every means to get it but to no avail. In short, although it was during the Three Kingdoms era when wars were frequent and transportation was extremely inconvenient, the charm of the lighter is slowly fermenting, quietly owning its own legend.

  Along with the popularity of "Divine Fire", Li Zhe's intelligence network began to spread out, using "Divine Fire" as a bribe to establish connections with higher-ups, and his informants became more alert, no longer in the dark like when he first arrived.

  Li Zhe had just returned when someone came to report: "Master! Someone has come to visit, and has been waiting at my 30-li inn for a long time. They say it's an important matter and they must see you in person."

  "Oh? Where are you from and what's your name?" The current Li Zhe, the framework has been set up, but it's not something that just anyone can see.

  "I heard they came from the south, and the names of the two leaders are Meng Zong and Zhao Yun!"

  "Huh?……” There are a few book friends who have been silently supporting me, and every day there are recommended votes sent over. I'm really grateful to my brothers!
