Chapter 2: Must We Be of One Mind?

  Listened to what the little girl said.

  Gasp! Li Zhe almost bit off his own tongue.

  What... what kind of polite language is this? Have I arrived on an alien planet or something?

  No, the little girl's eyes were staring at her own gaze, which was clearly hungry to the extreme, like a wolf's eyes on food, set against the little girl's dirty but still visible innocent and lovely face, making it especially eerie and ominous!

  The people around, limping and staggering, slowly surrounded them from all sides! Every face had that look in their eyes!

  Li Zhe unconsciously retreated a few steps, but unexpectedly tripped himself up and fell to the ground. His legs suddenly twitched uncontrollably and he couldn't get up no matter what. He finally couldn't bear it anymore and started wailing loudly, shouting for help.

  "Ah!" The old man tottered up, seemingly with some regret: "Young master, you mustn't blame me. I didn't want to either! But this whole family, young and old, can't go without eating! If we don't eat you, we won't survive, so just agree to it, okay? Who told you to be born with such tender skin, making my little girl want to eat you as soon as she sees you!"

  The old man's voice was hoarse, with a strange magnetic charm, gloomy and eerie like a devil from hell, making Li Zhe, this otaku, feel his soul flying away.

  A group of people swarmed around, without saying a word, and with practiced hands, they quickly stripped off Li Zhe's shirt, revealing his lean chest. Someone gulped and swallowed hard, then said: "No wonder he's the young master from a wealthy family! This skin is... wow! So white and tender, even whiter than Ah Nang's skin, it's really delicate!"

  It sends shivers down one's spine just listening to it!

  Just as Li Zhe's magnificent journey through time had just begun, he was about to lose his life at the hands of a group of ignorant refugees.

  A loud clatter of hooves came, followed by a loud shout:

  "Halt! You scoundrel! Release that young master at once! Otherwise, let me show you the silver spear of our household!"

  Time passed, a strong gust of wind blew by, and with a series of chaotic noises, the group of refugees surrounding Li Zhe were knocked down one by one, rolling around on the ground in disarray. Li Zhe looked up to see what was happening.

  What a fine white horse!

  A handsome young man wearing bright silver armor on a white horse! Thick eyebrows and eagle eyes, tiger back and bear waist, holding a silver spear as thick as a bowl mouth, about one foot long!

  It's just like a god descending from heaven!

  My god! How can there be such a handsome man in this world? Is God trying to make me change my sexual orientation and fall for him?! I'm experiencing extreme joy and sadness at the same time, and then again extreme joy. This hidden good friend attribute has burst out. Staring straight at this person without moving.

  "This young master, I am Zhao Yun, also known as Zhao Zilong. May I ask your surname and given name? What brings you to be alone in this desolate wilderness? If it weren't for me, these starving rioters would have cooked and eaten you by now."

  Zhao Yun is great!

  Li Zhe only felt that this life had never been so exciting, first being confused and put on some dogshit time-space system, thrown into the wilderness outside the village, then met a group of seemingly miserable refugees, a timid little girl, crying and shouting to eat herself! What the hell is this world?!

  And now, suddenly out of nowhere comes a white knight to save me!

  It turned out to be Zhao Da, the million fans' darling of the Three Kingdoms period!

  This little heart! The horse that was jumping around just stopped moving, oh god! Save me! Li Zhe's brain started to malfunction.

  Zhao Yun bowed and asked questions on horseback, but didn't see Li Zhe return the courtesy. Suddenly, he felt a little displeased in his heart. In his impression, Li Zhe was dressed in strange and exotic clothes from head to toe, all of high quality, with delicate skin, obviously a pampered young master from a wealthy family. The only strange thing was that his hair was a bit too short, just like a foreign monk.

  This is Zhao Yun, no matter how he guessed, he couldn't figure out Li Zhe's footprints. The only thing that can be confirmed is that Li Zhe is absolutely not an ordinary rough man. It's very obvious that this guy's hands and feet are even more delicate than a woman's, how could it be possible for him to do manual labor?

  This young master doesn't even return the favor of saving his life, which is really too much, lacking in family education. Even Zhao Dada can't stand it.

  But Li Zhe quickly reacted and saw that Zhao Yun's expression was not good, so he hurriedly pretended to learn from the TV etiquette and returned the courtesy.

  This made Zhao Yun increasingly curious about Li Zhe's background. He didn't know the rules of etiquette, but he was pampered and arrogant, so which family's young master was he?

  But then Li Zhe said: "Brother Zi Long! I am Li Zhe. Thank you for saving me, I was lucky to escape, but my family and I were separated here, there is no village in front of us and no shops behind us, I have been lost for a long time, it's been a long time since I had a decent meal, please help me, Brother Zi Long!"

  Zhao Yun furrowed his brow, but didn't want Li Zhe to follow him, and replied: "I have important business in the city of Runan Commandery, how can I go with you?"

  Li Zheyi listened, puffed up his face and stared with wide eyes as he approached: "Is there such a coincidence in the world? I just so happen to be going to Runan Prefecture City too! If brother and I go together, we can take care of each other if something happens, isn't that wonderful!"

  Zhao Yun, a heroic figure of ancient times, had never seen such a despicable modern otaku. Unable to get rid of him, he could only let Li Zhe follow along, and the two of them left on horseback. Behind them, a poor family of refugees looked on with rumbling stomachs from afar, but didn't dare to catch up.

  All the way, Li Zhe used all his skills to try to get information from Zhao Yun, such as his birth date and astrological sign, which made Zhao Yun so annoyed that he even lent his horse to Li Zhe, wishing he could fly to the county town immediately and get rid of this trouble.

  But for Li Zhe, it was the opposite. Having finally met this ancient famous general, a loyal and righteous gentleman, how could Li Zhe let him run away easily? In later generations, who doesn't know that Zhao Yun is a reliable and trustworthy young master? As long as he can get along with him, his safety in this chaotic world would be guaranteed. At least before Li Zhe's safety issues were resolved here, he would not consider leaving Zhao Yun.

  Moreover, Li Zhe had already thought of why he would meet Zhao Yun here and had already guessed the real reason for Zhao Yun's trip to Runan. At this time, wasn't it the moment when something was about to happen? The black curtain shrouding the history of the Three Kingdoms seemed to be quietly opening up to this outsider from the sky.

  At the moment when Li Zhe was secretly pondering, he suddenly heard a reminder in his consciousness: "12 hours have passed, from now on to 24 hours is the time for the host to safely leave this space-time interface. Otherwise, the anchor point will disappear and the host will be forever trapped in this space-time interface."

  I'm going!

  Li Zheyi was about to curse loudly at that moment. Who would have thought that there was still this trick? Is this system really detached and has a time limit?

  "There is only a time limit on the game interface, and there is no time limit on the host's native interface. After completing a task safely, you will get a game experience once, and after ten times, you will be upgraded. After upgrading, the host's space-time exploration ability will be significantly enhanced."

  So that's how it is!

  Li Zhe suddenly jumped up, hastily saluted Zhao Yun with a fist and said: "Ah! Not good. Brother Zi Long! I suddenly thought of something I need to go back and take care of, so I'll borrow your horse for now, and when I return, I will thank you heavily. Also, I have some good news to tell Brother Zi Long, the person you've come all the way to Junan to find is about to be found, and this time you will definitely get what you want!"

  Having said that! Before Zhao Yun could react, Li Zhe drove his horse and galloped away with a "da-da-da" sound.

  At this time, Zhao Yun was still standing there in astonishment. How did he know that I came to Runan to find someone? Could it be that he actually knew who the person I was looking for was?
