Shangyong City, north gate.

"You don't have to send each other off. Zhi is a minor post-graduate student. He doesn't dare to work. Please stay."

A young man in his early twenties bowed respectfully to a middle-aged man.

Liu Ruo looked very happy and smiled so that the wrinkles in the corners of her eyes seemed to have deepened a little. She took the initiative to come forward and help the young man up.

"Bo Miao, although you are from Jingzhou, you have lived in Sichuan for a long time. Now you can be regarded as the leader of the younger generation in Yizhou. When you go to Luoyang to meet the saint, you can be entrusted by your majesty to be the magistrate of Mianyang county. Such an important position is not only a scholar, but also rare. This is the common honor of all ethnic groups in Yizhou."

"Since you have the intention to visit me in Shangyong, I will help you. Here are some letters. I am familiar with several local rich families in Mianyang. You take my letter to duty. When implementing your Majesty's land sharing order, you should be less hindered. This is what I can do to repay your Majesty's kindness."

He ordered the servants around him to give the letter to Deng Zhi. Deng Zhi quickly bowed down and took it with both hands.

"Late life, thank you, sir."

"Well, it's a long way. You have to get to Hanzhong before nightfall, so I won't stay much."

"My Lord, stay here. It's also difficult for me to implement the land sharing order in Shangyong. Please take care and beware of villains. I'll leave you later."

After that, Deng Zhi took the whip from her servant, stepped on the horse's back and left.

Liu Ruo looked at his back and smiled. He didn't take his parting message seriously, so he turned and returned to the city.

The land of Yizhou has just belonged to the imperial court. Although the construction team under Liu He is growing day by day, it is now busy improving the official roads and galloping roads in Liangzhou and Xuzhou. Therefore, shortly after Deng Zhi started from Shangyong, he has disappeared from the tamped and flat road and embarked on the chaotic stone road with weeds.

Fortunately, Deng Zhi came from a famous family and is the descendant of Deng Yu, the head of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai under Emperor Guangwu. Although after 200 years, the Deng family has declined a lot, it is also a rich family. Therefore, together with four servants, he rode the authentic Liangzhou war horse. Even on this wilderness path, the speed will not be too slow.

After catching up for most of the day's journey, Deng Zhi looked up at the sun and said to the four servants, "it's still early. I remember there's a thatched cottage teahouse not far ahead. I'll go to have a rest, feed some forage to the horse, and then go on without delay."

The four immediately took orders, and one of them stepped up and went to take care of everything first.

The teahouse was only six or seven miles away. Deng Zhi and others soon arrived. The servants who took the first step, the old couple who had let the teahouse take charge, prepared hot tea, pasta and forage.

Deng Zhi and others got off the horse, sat down at a table and began to drink.

However, after a while, another group of people also walked into the teahouse. The six people were strong and wore long swords. When they came to a table next to Deng Zhi, they shouted and asked the boss to serve tea.

Deng Zhi also ignored them. After eating and drinking enough, she stretched a little, put down a row of brand-new "Yuanxing Tongbao" blooming with copper, led the war horse and continued on her way.

However, only a short distance away, he found something wrong.

"Master, those guys are following up. I'm afraid they're coming for you."

A servant whispered.

"Well, but I don't know who sent it. Is it not the killers of those rich families in Mianyang?"

Deng Zhi guessed.

In order to stabilize his rule after becoming emperor, Liu Yan took the initiative to compromise with the door valve, which made the local aristocrats in Yizhou have great power. Often several families controlled most of the fields and industries in a county. It can be said that the land sharing order of the Imperial Court dealt the greatest blow to the aristocrats in Yizhou.

Zhang song, FA Zheng, Huang Quan, Wang Lei and other families rose with them. Although their interests in Yizhou were hit, the family industry and the young children of the family were able to go out of Yizhou and fight in the vast northern states of the Han Dynasty. In the future, they will develop to the whole country and even to the western regions. Therefore, they are naturally happy.

The vast majority of the remaining people who did not follow Zhang Song and others to assist the court at that time naturally did not have such treatment. Seeing their own land, they would be re measured by the court, and then most of them would be divided away and distributed to the poor people, even the Black family savages down the mountain. The dissatisfaction and anger of these families can be expected.

The land of Ji and he is the place where your majesty prospers. The Sili area is at the foot of the imperial city and the land of Youzhou and Liangzhou. In recent years, by cracking down on foreigners, the local gentry have also taken advantage of the situation to clean up. Therefore, there is little obstacle to the implementation of the land sharing order in these five places.

In the other five prefectures of Qing, Xu, Yan, Yu and Yi, there must be a lot of local strong resistance, especially in Yizhou. Therefore, Deng Zhi made such a guess at the first time.

The servant said, "the master takes the first step, and the subordinates solve them first, and then meet the hero."

After that, he wanted to greet the other three servants and was ready to start, but Deng Zhi stopped him.

"Don't worry. It's not far from the teahouse. I'm afraid they will threaten me with the old couple. I'm the imperial court's commander. If I kill the people of Yizhou, I won't have the face to face the people of Yizhou. Go a few miles further and take one person and find a secret place to ambush. It's more likely to win if they kill me suddenly."

After all, the other side has more people than himself. Although Deng Zhi thinks he is excellent in martial arts, he has always been cautious and dare not trust too much.

The six men followed at a leisurely pace more than a mile apart. They planned to follow for more than half an hour. After it was a little dark for a few minutes, they would do it again. However, this area was originally a mountain road with nine twists and eighteen turns. After they turned another turn, they suddenly found that the target crowd in front was missing two people, which made them alert immediately.

"No, they must have found us and are going to send someone to Hanzhong to report the news in advance. The master said that we must not leave any of them and do not delay. So they started."

The first of them spoke, and the six hurried to catch up.

"Deng Zhixiu left, leaving the head."

After hearing the roar behind her, Deng Zhi, who had been prepared for it, immediately turned around, took a short bow from one side of the saddle, and shot an arrow in one breath.

However, after observing him for so long, the other party naturally found the short bow and took precautions. It was easy to hide. Then one person waved a long gun and stabbed Deng Zhi directly.

"If you want to kill my master, ask the broadsword of a family first."

A servant cut out the big knife, blocked the long gun, and then rode forward to fight with each other.

The remaining servant also chose an assassin and fought to one place.

The remaining four people, seeing that Deng Zhi was only one person left, felt that they had the winning ticket, so they killed them together with a grim smile.

"Hum, a clown who jumps over a beam, dare to underestimate Deng? Today let us see the shooting skills of the Deng family, the first of the 28 generals in Yuntai."

He took his long gun and rushed forward to fight one against four without fear.

"System prompt: Deng Zhi fights assassins. Deng Zhi's current basic force is 89 points, weapon bonus is 1 point, and comprehensive force is 90 points."

Such martial arts are also competent for the position of school captain in the army under Liu He. Although the four assassins are also good, they all have martial arts in their early 80s. If they are wandering in the grass, they are powerful, but it is not easy to win Deng Zhi.

The two sides came and went. There was a stalemate for a while. At this time, two figures suddenly appeared in the bushes on one side.

The two men couldn't help but say, raised their knives and cut them. When they were unprepared, two assassins were cut to the ground on the spot.

Such a sudden change surprised the assassin leader and then panicked.

"No, I've been tricked by this boy. It's bad today. Get out of here!"

As soon as he pulled the reins and said hello, he was about to escape. It's not easy to play six against three. Now it's five against four. It's dead.

Deng Zhi looked at their backs, but sneered. She took the short bow again, aimed at the leader, and shot another arrow.

"Ah..."

The assassin leader screamed and fell off his horse.

Deng Zhi took his men to catch up and shouted: "get off the horse and be bound. You can spare your life, otherwise under Deng's short bow, you will never show mercy."

Those people saw his shooting skills, and the leader was dead. They were flustered, so they had to throw away their weapons and get off their horses and kneel down.

General Deng Yuzhi, who is a thief who has never dared to be shot by the emperor, said: "I don't know if you are willing to be shot by the emperor. I don't know if you are willing to be shot by the emperor. I don't know if you are willing to be shot by the general. I don't know if you are willing to wait for me."

The remaining three assassins repeatedly kowtowed and begged for mercy. The stones on the mountain road were extremely sharp, and they knocked out blood marks after a few times.

"Well, as long as you confess according to the truth, I can spare you from waiting for death."

Deng Zhi's words made the three people see the hope of survival, and quickly vowed that they knew everything, said everything, and would never dare to lie.

"So best."

Deng Zhi snorted coldly, but did not put down the short bow, so she directly asked, "who sent you to assassinate the imperial court commander?"

One of them hurriedly said: "I don't know. We are employed by others. We are the employers behind us. We have always only contacted our eldest brother, but my eldest brother has died under your Divine shooting, so..."

Deng Zhi frowned, then thought of something and continued to ask, "where are you going to stop me?"

"This little man knows. Brother took five of our brothers to Shangyong city four days ago. After eating and drinking for a few days, he went out of Shangyong early this morning and waited for you in the dense forest in the mountains."

Deng Zhi was stunned. It seemed that the answer was somewhat unexpected.

"Shangyong? Why is it Shangyong? Four days ago..."

He suddenly thought that he was the Shangyong who arrived five days ago. When the prefect's house had a banquet that night, he was a little unhappy with the Shen brothers. He noticed that the two brothers were quite in conflict with the imperial decree, so he would say a warning to the prefect before leaving today.

Suddenly, something came to his mind and his face was startled.

"Bad, too guarding is dangerous!"

He was about to get on his horse and rush back to Shangyong to help, but he stopped just two steps away.

"Master, why did you stop?"

Deng Zhi looked sad: "since the two thieves of Shen sent assassins to kill me, they will also attack the prefect at the same time. At this time, they will rush back to Shangyong. I'm afraid it's too late. Even your and my lives will go in together."

"What should I do?"

Deng Zhi sorted out her emotions and said, "if the Shen brothers are in trouble, they will surely offer Shangyong to sun CE. Since Shangyong is lost, Hanzhong is in danger. For today's plan, we should hurry to Hanzhong and report to the governor of Hanzhong, so as to live up to the loyalty of Governor Liu."

He ordered his men to tie up three assassins and prepare to bring them back to Hanzhong. Then he dared not delay for a moment and hurried West.
