"Okay, it's time for us to leave." Zhao Zhizhi stood up.

Wei Shao followed her and everyone slowly dispersed.

Zhao Zhizhi stood at the entrance of the village and said goodbye to everyone. Looking at the familiar scenery, a different emotion surged in his heart.

She was leaving the place where the original owner had lived for more than ten years and heading to the distant capital, not knowing what the future would hold.

Under the warm sunshine, Xiaohe Village looks particularly peaceful and peaceful.

The sun shines through the sparse clouds and shines on the well-proportioned eaves, reflecting a warm light.

The water surface of the river is slightly rippled, as if telling an unknown secret.

However, Zhao Zhizhi's heart was full of reluctance.

Her eyes lingeringly scanned every inch of familiar land and every friendly face.

Her fingers caressed the old locust trees that had been with her for many years. The rough bark seemed to tell her that every plant and tree here was seeing her off.

"Zhizhi, do you really want to leave?" The lady next door wiped away tears, her voice full of regret.

Zhao Zhizhi bit her lower lip and nodded slightly, "Well, aunt, I have something important to do."

Zhang Shilong looked at her with reluctance in his eyes.

"Thank you very much. If you leave, we will definitely miss you."

Zhao Zhizhi nodded, "I will miss you."

People from the whole village came to see them off, and everyone was very happy.

The Zhao family's father and brother also lamented that there were always people in the village who acted tyrannically, and everyone dared to be angry but dared not speak out.

But since Zhao Zhizhi became the village chief, everything has quietly changed.

We have never been so united and friendly before, and all this is thanks to Zhao Zhizhi.

Doctor Liu patted her shoulder and said, "Okay, it's getting late. You still have a long way to the capital, so get on your way early."

"Okay, let's go then. Master and everyone else, take care of yourself!" Zhao Zhizhi shed tears.

"Zhizhi, you have to take good care of yourself." Dr. Liu was also a little reluctant.

"Yes, I will." Zhao Zhizhi choked.

Zhao Zhizhi reluctantly said goodbye to Dr. Liu and other villagers, and set foot on the road to the capital.

She knew that this departure might mean goodbye forever. But she also understands that for her dreams and Master's expectations, she must move forward bravely.

"Goodbye! Xiaohe Village!"

They embarked on a long journey in a carriage with simple luggage.

Under the illumination of the morning light, their figures gradually disappeared on the distant horizon.

This trip to the capital must be full of unknown dangers and challenges, but they also firmly believe that as long as they go hand in hand, all difficulties can be overcome. But they still embark on the journey with confidence.

On the other side, the Prime Minister was furious when he learned that the county magistrate was under investigation. The atmosphere in the Prime Minister's house was extremely tense.

The Prime Minister's face was ashen and he slapped the table angrily.

"This Magistrate Cao is so audacious that he dares to take bribes. It's really unreasonable!" he shouted loudly.

"Master, what should we do now?" a close aide asked cautiously.

A flash of killing intent flashed in the Prime Minister's eyes, "Send the order and kill everyone who has close contact with County Magistrate Cao!"

"Yes!"

The order was quickly conveyed to every corner, and a bloody purge operation was about to begin.

As night fell, outside Magistrate Cao's residence, a black shadow quickly shuttled through the lane.

He is a spy sent by the Prime Minister with the mission of assassinating people who have close ties with Magistrate Cao.

His eyes were firm, and there was no hesitation or pity in his heart, only coldness and determination. He quietly came to the roof of an inn and looked down.

The moonlight shines through the clouds and shines on the inn's signboard, making it particularly dazzling.

He saw several figures moving around the inn, obviously people who had close connections with Magistrate Cao. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a sneer, and the dagger in his hand shone coldly in the moonlight. He took a deep breath, leaned over and rushed towards the inn.

His figure was like a bolt of lightning, moving so fast that no one could see clearly. He leapt into the inn, pointing his dagger at the nearest target.

The man turned pale with fright, and before he could react, the spy had already thrust the dagger into his chest.

Blood spurted out, splattering the entire room.

The other people were frightened by this sudden change and were at a loss for a while.

The figure of the spy swayed among them, taking away a life with every move.

The entire inn was immersed in blood, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

When the secret agent completed the assassination mission and left the inn, there was no trace of pity or guilt on his face, only coldness and satisfaction.

He knew that his mission had been completed. These people were all threats to the Prime Minister's power, and their death was inevitable.

At the same time, the prime minister also realized that Wei Shao would definitely return to the capital after catching Magistrate Cao.

He was sitting in the study with a gloomy face and cold eyes. He knew that in order to ensure nothing went wrong, he had to send someone to intercept and kill Wei Shao.

He said coldly to his men: "I would rather kill a hundred by mistake than let go of a person similar to Wei Shao."

The men under his command followed the order and set many ambush along the way.

They held sharp knives in their hands and looked ahead warily.

Every pedestrian passing by will be carefully scrutinized by them, and as long as there is the slightest suspicion, they will be attacked mercilessly.

As night fell, Wei Shao drove the carriage ahead, and Zhao Zhizhi and the others sat in the carriage to rest.

The road was peaceful, but he didn't know that danger was quietly approaching.

In the darkness, a group of enemies came from all directions, their eyes shining with greed and cruelty.

"Kill--!"

"Come on, everyone!"

"We must not let him return to the capital alive!"

Wei Shao's heart tightened, and he clenched the sword in his hand, preparing to deal with the coming attack.

Zhao Zhizhi and the others in the carriage woke up with a start.

Zhao Zhizhi wanted to open the car curtain and ask what happened.

Wei Shao blocked the car curtain tightly, "Stay inside and don't come out. Leave everything to me."

She was very worried, but didn't want to cause trouble, so she responded.

"Ok!"

Wei Shao found that these people were all dead soldiers, well-trained, and each of them was a terrifying existence. He ordered his men to protect Zhao Zhizhi.

The enemy, armed with various weapons and with ferocious smiles on their faces, rushed towards Wei Shao.

Wei Shao faced the fierce enemy with his strong body, and he nimbly dodged every attack.

The Zhao family's father and brother also took up weapons and fought with the dead soldiers, but they were reckless and almost injured.

Wei Shao's movements were as fast as the wind, making the enemy unpredictable.

Every time he swung the long sword in his hand, it was filled with thunderous force, making the enemy dare not approach easily.
