As Yang Qinghou waved his hand and signaled, all the Cao Gang heroes left the room, and only three brothers and sisters of the Yang family were left here. Although most of the people were missing, the atmosphere in the room was more depressing than before, and Li Ling clearly felt the strong aura pressure from Yang Qinghou.

Even though he had already learned from Yang Qingxiao that his brother could no longer use force, and his slightly rapid breathing and a few light coughs from time to time also confirmed that the injuries on his body still existed, but all this did not affect the intimidating momentum that continued to exude the other party. It was the real heroic aura that only comes from life and death, licking blood from the knife.

Yang Qinghou's eyes settled on Li Ling's face. After a while, he whispered: "It seems that you know about our overall plan because of some of the words and deeds of the sister-in-law, and tried to stop it?"

Li Ling took a deep breath and looked at him without any permission: "No, because in my opinion, this is an extremely unwise approach and will only implicate more people. Is this the result that you are willing to see by Master Yang? Since you are the leader of the Cao Gang, you should focus on the overall situation, rather than just paying attention to your own private grudges!"

"A little personal grudge..." Yang Qinghou's lips curled up, full of ridicule, "The lives of 423 brothers from the Cao Gang, the deep hatred of my father being killed, in your eyes, Li Gongfeng's eyes, is just a 'a little personal grudge'?"

"I didn't mean that..." Li Ling also knew that he had lost his words and hurriedly explained, "I mean that compared with the disaster that will cause you assassinate Liu Runsheng, the previous hatred is nothing."

Yang Qinghou smiled and said, "Do you know how I have lived in the past three years? I live in self-blame and pain every day - at that time, I had actually noticed that there was something wrong with the movements of the government army. I should have persuaded my father to withdraw from that battle. As a result, because you said that the overall situation is the most important, I held it back, and then... this is the consequence of putting the overall situation first..."

"Brother..." Yang Qingxiao was also palpitations when she saw her brother's regretful look. She wanted to persuade her, but was interrupted by him: "Do you know what power has supported me to continue to live with this body in the past three years? It was my father's scream before his death, it was hatred, and the belief in revenge! I want those who have harmed our brothers in the Cao Gang to receive the retribution they deserve, and I want them to fight with their lives! The culprit among them is Liu Runsheng, but now you actually want to persuade me to stop at this time, why?"

Feeling the fire of hatred that gulls out like magma in the other party's eyes, Li Ling's heart tightened. The other party's determination mentality was no longer easy to convince. But in order not to let more people, especially himself and his family, he still made the final effort: "I know you want to take revenge, you want Liu Runsheng to pay the heaviest price. But you don't have to take such a risk at all. Killing officials in the capital will inevitably exceed your imagination, and I'm afraid that it is not something you or the Cao Gang can afford.

"Also, don't you want to get rid of him? In fact, there are still many other methods, and it may not necessarily be necessary to use such a direct method of assassination. I thought that letting me deal with him through official means is the safest and most ease of hatred. And don't forget that your assassination has many arrangements, but there is always a possibility.

"What if all your people fail? What if he doesn't appear in the most suitable place according to your plan? What if the news is leaked? I think if these are not what you want to see, and will cause a catastrophe to the Cao Gang, it's better to leave them to me..."

Yang Qingxiao seemed to agree with Li Ling's statement, and couldn't help looking at her brother, and said softly, "Brother..." as if she wanted to persuade him to stop and change his mind, but she couldn't say it until the words were spoken.

Yang Qinghou ignored his sister's thoughts, but continued to stare at Li Ling: "What you said is indeed possible if it happens, but this is our last chance. I have been waiting for three years. I don't want to wait any longer, and I may not be able to wait any longer. So even if I take risks, I have to take this bet!"

After a pause, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Unless you can really solve Liu Runsheng in your way as you said. If you are really sure, then tell me your way. I can give you a reason to convince me, but I want the most detailed method. Don't think about using anything stupid to deceive me. Although I, Yang Qinghou, are not in the official sect, I can still distinguish some things."

Li Ling was stunned and then smiled bitterly. Yes, as a little governor, he could not have any means to deal with a dignified governor. The previous remarks were just slowing down. Not to mention that the other party had to make a plan by himself now, even if he gave himself a few more months or years, it would be difficult to achieve success.

Yang Qingxiao then realized it, with a little anger in her eyes: "You..."

"Miss Yang forgives the crime. I really have to make this decision because I think about you." Li Ling smiled apologetically and bowed, "But now it seems that my sub-scheming can't be hidden from the Yang Gang Leader..."

"It's not just this. Even if you say that you have a backup plan at home, it's probably fake?" Yang Qinghou said with a smile.

Li Ling sighed and made a promise. He had to admit that Yang Qinghou's strategic vision was above him, and his little tricks were completely hidden in his eyes. This sense of frustration was really strong, which he had never experienced or felt before.

"I also know what your biggest concern is. You are afraid that our actions will drag you and your family. After all, the sister has been in and out of your residence before. Even if she has already dealt with it carefully, there will be traces. As long as the government checks carefully, you will inevitably not be pulled in." As he said that, he smiled, "But since you have become my Cao Gang worshiper, you have to take some risks.

"I won't send you out of the capital as early as they said. This is simple, but you still can't escape from it. Instead, it will only make your suspicion bigger and may affect our overall plan. So, I will keep you by my side until things are done."

"Ah..." Li Ling suddenly changed color and jumped up from the chair, "You want to hold me next to you?"

"Yes, I'll ask you to accompany me to participate in this game. You have already shown a much more insightful and extraordinary person when you were in Taipingdu before, which is exactly what I need. With you discussing with me, you can check for omissions and eliminate all possible problems earlier.

"Of course, one more important reason is to avoid you from leaking our plan as you said. Although I don't think you won't, it's better to keep you by your side in order to ensure your safety. Don't worry, I won't treat you anything other than your limited movement."

Li Ling was really confused now. He really didn't expect that Yang Qinghou would be so desperate and would not give him a chance to turn the tables. His only statement was: "But I am doing an errand in the Ministry of Revenue. If I don't go suddenly, it will inevitably attract the attention of the yamen. Maybe..."

"You don't have to worry about this at all. I will ask someone to take a leave of absence to you, just say that you are sick and can't go to the yamen. After all, you are just a small official and no one will pay too much attention to it. Moreover, this time will not be too long. On the third day of June, you will be able to see the conclusion, and you will naturally go back again."

"It seems that you are determined to keep me..." Li Ling's face turned a little blue and his fists were already clenched.

"I advise you not to do anything randomly. Although I am no longer able to do anything because of my martial arts and I have an old injury, you have seen Xiao'er's ability." He reminded him again, seeing Li Ling's mind.

Yang Qingxiao looked at Li Ling and shook her head slightly, indicating that he should not be impulsive. He would definitely stand on his brother's side. Only then did Li Ling remember the fact that she was not a weak woman. The scene of killing people like slaughtering pigs and sheep that day, and the unpredictable four unique skills of "Flowers, Snow and Moon" also emerged one by one, making him finally completely surrender.

"Okay, it seems I have no choice. But can I not worry my sister and the others?"

"No problem, I will ask someone to bring a message to them, just say that you have something to do with us and need to stay outside for a few days. Don't worry, it won't take a few days and you will be able to go back safely."

"Is that true?" Li Ling sighed. After all, he was just a scholar, and at this time he could only obey their arrangements.

Just when Yang Qinghou shalt shone his sister and signaled her to take Li Ling to another place to settle, Li Ling suddenly said, "By the way, can you answer my question?"

"you say."

"I remember that there was a master named Mu Dantian on your side during Taipingdu that day. His martial arts skills were far superior to everyone. Since you have such a powerful master, why don't you try to make him think of a way to assassinate Liu Runsheng in the most unexpected way? After all, three years have passed, and he can't be wary of assassination at all times."

Yang Qinghou laughed: "First of all, Liu Runsheng has always been guarding against our revenge in the past three years, so there are at least hundreds of guard entourages everywhere, and the casual people are not close to him at all; secondly, Uncle Mu is actually not a member of our Cao Gang."

"Um?"

"He only promised to protect Xiao'er and me and me for their safety, but he would not take action for more internal and external affairs of the Cao Gang, including assassinating Liu Runsheng. With his own swordsmanship, it is impossible for him to be really entangled in the revenge and disputes in the martial arts world."

Li Ling was a little surprised at first, but then accepted this statement. Thinking about it, with Mu Dantian's strength, it was indeed not something that a Cao Gang could do. But in this way, the last bit of hope disappeared.
