It was getting late at night and after the third update, even the nobles who were looking for fun had already stopped. Except for the soldiers patrolling the city, there were no one else in Luoyang City, and as for ordinary people, they naturally fell into their dreams early.

When a cloud was pushed by the wind to cover the crescent moonlight, a figure quietly flashed out of the backyard. There was only one rise and fall room, approaching the courtyard wall about a meter high, and was about to jump up. But suddenly, the figure's movement was paused, and when he turned his head, his eyes were already staring at a dark corner on the side: "Who?"

Although the sound was not loud, it still made familiar people realize that this was Yang Qingxiao. With this slight shout, everyone raised their hands and walked out slightly awkwardly: "Miss Yang, don't do it, it's me, Li Ling..."

After hearing the sound and vaguely seeing this familiar figure coming out, Yang Qingxiao was even more surprised: "You...why are you here to do so late?"

"This is exactly what I want to ask Miss Yang, what do you want to do when you climbed over the wall in the middle of the night? As for me, of course I am waiting for you here, but you are moving too fast and I don't have time to say hello." Li Ling said as he walked up and looked at the other party a few times.

At this time, Yang Qingxiao was still dressed as a man, but her outfit was different. She was dressed in black, and she was completely prepared for Ye Xing. She also had a leather mask on her waist, obviously to cover up her face. After hearing this, after being looked at by Li Ling like this, she felt guilty and couldn't help but take a step back, but said, "I... I just can't sleep at night, so I want to go out for a walk and relax."

"Is that true? Then why do you dress like this? This is a thief. Also, Miss Yang, you won't be able to sleep every day, why do you have to go out almost every night during these days?"

Yang Qingxiao's eyes suddenly shrank, and her tone changed, and she was filled with a strong sense of caution: "Are you staring at me?" As he spoke, his right hand slightly raised, but it scared Li Ling and he quickly waved his hand: "Don't be impulsive, we have something to talk about, I'm not your opponent..." He had seen this murderous method, and the chain knife that killed people was waving his hand.

Yang Qingxiao smiled: "Since you are afraid of death, why did you come to stop me again at this time?"

"First, I didn't stop you. Second, I'm just because I'm afraid of death, so I'm waiting for you here, just to understand the purpose of your staying out at night." Li Ling said with a serious expression, "The words you told me before are mostly fake. Are you using me? I've helped you a lot in the past few days. You have to let me understand what's going on, otherwise I'm so unfair to be really implicated by you."

Yang Qingxiao's eyes lowered, as if she didn't dare to look at Li Ling's gaze, which was a sign of guilt. After a while, she said stiffly: "I did stay here for less trouble, but this is all our Cao Gang's own business and has nothing to do with you, a court official. If you really feel something is wrong, I will leave here tomorrow..."

"If something really happens, is it useful for you to leave now? I'm afraid this will make people feel that it's more obvious." Li Ling shook his head and said, "And you have something wrong. Although I am an official of the court, I am also a sacrificial scholar, so the matter of the gang really has something to do with me."

"You..." Yang Qingxiao really didn't expect Li Ling to suddenly mention his relationship, and for a moment he really didn't know how to deal with it.

"What? Could it be that I really got it right? What you Cao Gang said to me before was all lies. In fact, you didn't really treat me as your own person at all? The so-called offering is the tools you use to use and cover up? Then when you achieve your goal, you can abandon me, and Yue'er and the others?" Li Ling refused to give up on each other and asked questions aggressively. While talking, he took a few steps forward and was about to put on the other party's face.

Yang Qingxiao's martial arts are obviously many times better than Li Ling. With just raising her wrist, she can knock down and kill this aggressive man. But for some reason, she didn't have any thoughts at this time. Instead, she became more and more panicked and forced to retreat. She even explained vigorously: "No, it's not what you think. I and my brother really want to recruit you as our Cao Gang brothers, and they won't have any conspiracy against you and use you."

"Then tell me what's going on! Since I'm also a member of the Cao Gang, I naturally have the right to know everything. Even if I can't do my best, I can still think of countermeasures for you, right?" Li Ling's tone finally eased a little, and he looked at the other party sincerely and said.

His heart was indeed a little calmer. Judging from the other party's behavior and words, Yang Qingxiao did not have any malicious intentions towards her brother and sister. Perhaps as she said, she just happened to use it and cover it up.

Yang Qingxiao also relaxed a little, but her face was still entangled: "This matter... I don't think you still don't know, otherwise you will be unable to take off."

"After that day, I had no choice but to get out of my way." Li Ling shook his head and insisted, "Miss Yang, I remember very clearly that you forced me to play chess that day, and then I, a scholar, participated in the disputes within your Cao Gang and with the local government troops after several life and death. Since you were so decisive that day, why didn't you even reveal the inside story today?"

"That's different. At that time, you and I..." After blurting out these half words, Yang Qingxiao's pretty face suddenly turned red, and her heartbeat was three points faster for no reason. It was at this moment that she suddenly confirmed a thought hidden in her heart that she had developed feelings for Li Ling, such a scholar, and an official who had little to do with the world.

Because it was dark, Li Ling did not notice any changes in the other person's color. He just looked at the other person with a strange look and suddenly stopped halfway. After waiting for a while, he said: "You want to say that we didn't know each other at that time, so you have no scruples, but now I am a sacrificial sect, which makes you have some concerns?"

Seeing that this man was so ungrateful, Yang Qingxiao felt annoyed and could only snorted: "You said that's right! Anyway, you can't interfere in this matter, so it's better not to know."

OK, after a few words, I went back again.

Li Ling naturally refused to stop and said seriously: "It doesn't matter whether it's up to you or not. I have to make a judgment after I know it. Since you and I are both from the Cao Gang, there is no need to hide it like this! Of course, you can also choose to knock me down and leave. I am definitely not your opponent!" After saying that, he stared at the other party with his eyes, as if he would not give up until he achieved his goal.

"You..." Yang Qingxiao felt a little angry. The man didn't understand her intentions at all. She really didn't want him to know about this incident and drag him into the water. Because this matter was too big, no matter whether it succeeded or failed, it might affect many people...

But under Li Ling's burning eyes, Yang Qingxiao's words of blame could not be expressed, let alone really attacked him. After hesitating for a moment, she finally said: "Do you really want to know? Once you know the real purpose of my visit to Luoyang this time, you will not be out of the matter as before."

"I can't stay out of the matter anymore." While Li Ling spoke, he added in his heart. Sure enough, your coming to Luoyang is not as simple as I said before. Why didn't I see it at the beginning?

"This time I came to Luoyang to plan to lead my brothers to kill a man, a senior court official, and Liu Runsheng, the governor of Jiangnan who returned to Beijing to report his duties!"

Just this sentence surprised Li Ling, opened his mouth and almost screamed, and he quickly came back to his senses before he could hold it back. But he still subconsciously said, "What did you say? You want to kill the governor of Jiangnan? Do you know what a great official he is? You don't want to rebel or are not from the Luotian Sect, why do you have to do this?"

He really never dreamed that the Cao Gang was plotting to do such a fatal thing this time!

The governor is a real chief official, and the governor of Jiangnan is the leader. The real second-rank official is one level lower than the two prime ministers and Privy Councilors, but he is at the same level as the six ministers and the Censors of the Censors. Once such a person is assassinated, especially in Luoyang City, it will inevitably cause a huge storm, and many people will fall to the ground due to the heads...

The so-called killing of officials and rebellion may be a bit exaggerated, but someone really dares to assassinate the governor of Jiangnan. I am afraid that no matter who you are, you will be considered to be rebelling. Even the Cao Gang will not escape the fate of being completely wiped out.

For a moment, Li Ling's face was as gloomy as ink. The answer was too much beyond his previous expectations. He thought that the other party was just planning to do some illegal business in secret. Who would have thought that it would be such a big "buy"...

After a long time, he calmed down, but saw Yang Qingxiao's pretty face turned pale and her eyes were a little red: "Do you think we wanted to kill the official for no reason? It's really a deep hatred. This is another best opportunity for us, so I will make this decision. This time, we all came with the will of death. As long as we can kill Liu Runsheng, even if we are all dead, we will be willing!"

Li Ling was stunned again, then stared at her thoughtfully: "So what kind of grudge exists between the Cao Gang and the Governor of Jiangnan? Can you actually make you so desperate?"
