He found that many people in this era have very strong psychological qualities.

After the competition, there were still fourteen people left, and the winner was Bu Luojihu, whose surname was Liu, who was neither the tallest nor the strongest.

Many mountain barbarians have the surname Liu, because after the Southern Xiongnu surrendered to the Han Dynasty, many leaders changed their surname to Liu.

Nowadays, many Shanhu not only have the surname Liu, but also say that they are descendants of the Xiongnu Chanyu, and even say that they have Han ancestry, because the Han and Huns have been related to each other for many years.

"These fighting slaves are all given to Duke Shouyang."

When Wu Huaiyu left the Lingzhou Governor's Mansion, the fourteen Dou slaves followed him. In addition to them, Li Daozong also gave Huaiyu sixteen beautiful maids, saying that he was short of people to serve him when he arrived.

Sitting on the carriage, Huaiyu glanced at the land deed in his hand. Li Daozong gave him a thousand acres of farmland, plus two thousand acres of two pastures, a total of three thousand acres of land, which he used to buy some auspicious corn and potatoes from Huaiyu.

, sweet potato seeds.

In addition, there was an oral salt and grain trading agreement, whereby the Yanzhou Yamen exchanged salt from the Wubai Salt Pond for grain from the Lingzhou Dudu Mansion.

Of course, these are all transactions that can be brought to the table. The real transaction is actually a deep cooperation in selling salt, horses, and slaves.

Wu Huaiyu accepted this, which meant that he agreed to join Li Daozong and Duan De in the business they had been doing.

It's just that Li Daozong probably didn't expect that the new governor of Yanzhou was still from Liumen.

Wu Huaiyu carried the land deed of three thousand acres of land into his arms, and immediately in the carriage began to write a secret memorial to the emperor in Chang'an, recording all the circumstances he knew truthfully.

Wu Huaiyu believed that the emperor had known this for a long time, so he had to report it now.

In order to prevent the secret message from being intercepted, Wu Huaiyu used the code words in the six doors. When the letter arrived in Chang'an, it was sent directly to the emperor through special channels. The emperor could translate it using the agreed code book.

His secret report will not go to the political affairs hall of the three provinces without going through formal procedures, and no one else can see it without going through the prime minister. This kind of power is actually very huge, because under normal circumstances, all official reports need to go through formal channels.

, it has to go through the Shangshu Province, the Political Affairs Hall, etc., and before the emperor sees it, it will be checked and even copied and filed by multi-level departments, and preliminary disposal opinions will be given. It may even be intercepted directly and never reach the emperor at all.

Lower-level officials did not even have the power to report directly to the emperor and could only report to the corresponding superiors.

As the governor of Yanzhou, his reports had to go through the provincial government office, but as a member of the Six Gates, Wailang, he could directly report secretly to the emperor, and the emperor's reply did not need to go through the provincial government affairs hall, etc., and the emperor and his ministers communicated directly with each other in confidential letters.

Li Daozong is really a good person, but Wu Huaiyu can only be like this.

The carriage was escorted by soldiers and headed for Yanzhou Yamen, where Yuan Qiao was in charge. When it turned a street corner, Chen Sheng, who was riding a horse, suddenly shouted loudly.

"who!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden scream.

"There are assassins!" Chen Shengsheng shouted, quickly pulled out his leather shield and blocked it in front of him, then jumped off his horse and stood in front of the carriage, "Your Majesty, there are assassins, be careful."

The next moment, countless arrows struck, and then figures jumped out from the darkness, and they rushed towards them with knives and crossbows.

The screams kept sounding.

Someone was hit by an arrow and fell to the ground.

Chen Sheng stood guard in front of the carriage and loudly ordered the guards to guard him.

More than a dozen troops quickly retreated and surrounded Wu Huaiyu's carriage, holding up their shields and crossbows, not leaving an inch behind.

The other dozen soldiers drew their swords, raised their spears and raised their bows, working in groups of three or three, and quickly faced the attacking assassins.

The Dou slaves and maidservants that Li Daozong gave to Huaiyu were exposed between the two groups of men.

The assassin attacked with a crossbow without any scruples.

The beautiful maidservant couldn't escape and screamed in surprise. Several people were hit by arrows and fell to the ground, with blood flowing all over the ground. The fourteen Dou slaves, although more injured than Dou just now, all yelled and quickly dispersed.

Open, some even directly held the dead maid in their hands as a shield to block arrows, and some directly rushed towards the assassin,

An ambush in the long street, a chaotic battle!
