On the third day of June, it is midsummer, and the scorching sun is like fire, burning this world.

As noon approaches, the sun rises at its highest point and the temperature reaches its hottest time of the day. In addition, there is no wind, the entire Luoyang city has become an oven, and even the cicadas on the trees are too hot to open their mouths, let alone people.

At this time, whether it was Changjie Imperial Road or the streets within each yard, the pedestrians were 70% lower than usual. Only a few people were still walking on the street. Many of them were passing by a restaurant and tea shop and then crawled in. The whole of Luoyang seemed so quiet.

A carriage covered with more than 20 people guarding the front, back and left and right slowly came from the direction of the imperial city and soon drove into Chang'anfang. Although the sun was rising above, the guards around the carriage were all full of energy and were not tired at all. Even the pace of moving forward was quite neat and consistent. You could tell at a glance that they were well-trained elite troops in the army, not even under the imperial guards guarding the capital.

Two miles away, on a small building, Li Ling and Yang Qinghou stood side by side, looking at the carriage from afar, looking at the carriage coming towards this side, but their faces became more and more serious, but their tone was still light: "In such a stuffy weather, the carriage was covered so tightly that no one could stay, right? Gangmaster Yang, aren't you afraid of missing the car if you miss the hollow car?"

Yang Qinghou chuckled: "Don't you give up and convince me at this time? But this reason is too crappy. What is Liu Runsheng's identity? Naturally, he is preparing to lower the temperature and heat to relieve the ice basin in his car, so covering the car is a normal choice, which means he is in the car."

After a pause, he grinned again, "What's more, I've already received the news. Today he went to the Ministry of Personnel to make the final confirmation. Now he is going back home, there is no doubt."

Li Ling sighed. Yang Qinghou had indeed mastered everything and had already made up his mind, but he could not change anything he said.

Seeing the carriage about to step into the street where there are three-story restaurants on both sides, Li Ling felt his heart beating faster and sweat leaked out of his palms: "Are you really not paying attention to everything?"

"For this day, we have been waiting for three years and have been planning for several months in the capital. There is no possibility of any change." Yang Qinghou stared at the front. Although his expression was stable, there was a light flashing in his eyes. Obviously, his heart had also mentioned the highest point.

As if to relieve the tension in his heart, he smiled and said, "Do you know what Xiao'er and the others were doing every night before?"

Li Ling frowned. This was indeed strange, because if it weren't for this, and Yue'er, who was in the same room, was afraid that he wouldn't know that the Cao Gang members would do such a big thing. This made him even more curious: "What did they do at night?"

"I predict today's assassination and the next retreat. Only by succeeding with one blow and going thousands of miles away can we ensure the safety of our Cao Gang brothers. I am not a person who just wants to take revenge at all. Naturally, I have to consider the retreat safely. Next, you can watch."

With his last "bar" exit, the carriage had officially entered the section of road between the two restaurants. Li Ling knew very well that the target had entered the ambush point. While he quickly picked up his whole heart, his eyes were also staring at that position.

At this moment, even time seemed to be extremely slow. Li Ling only felt that every breath he breathed was so clear and audible. While his pupils shrank, he could clearly see a cold light suddenly flying out in the restaurant on his left, taking the window of the carriage below from top to bottom!

After all, they took action... In the capital Luoyang, at the feet of the emperor, these outlawed Cao Gang people took action at all costs and assassinated the second-rank official of the court, Liu Runsheng, the governor of Jiangnan!

Everything is irreversible!

The moment he saw the cold light flying out, Li Ling closed his eyes in pain. It is very likely that his official career, no, should be the whole life, will take a sharp turn for the worse and completely destroy it because of this cold light. The desperation may be the best ending.

The screams in the distance suddenly rang, making him open his eyes and look forward again uncontrollably, and then he saw a scene that was even more palpitations and shocked-

The carriage had completely stopped, and the people around him ran away in a scream, while the guards guarding the carriage suddenly showed their swords and guns like frightened tigers and wolves at this moment, and quickly divided into two teams, rushing to the restaurants on both sides.

And this is not a shocking place. What really made Li Ling almost scream was that hundreds of men carrying weapons and murderous intent rushed out of various shops and restaurants on both sides of the street.

They obviously had been instructed for a long time. Once they appeared, they quickly controlled the front and back of this long street, blocked any entrance and exit, and cooperated with the guards to quickly surrounded the two restaurants.

"Sure enough..." Li Ling swallowed a sudden saliva, and his heart sank to the bottom. "What I worry most about finally happened. Your actions have actually been calculated by someone for a long time. This is a trap that leads a snake out of the hole and then catches it all in one go..."

Whether it is the actions of those guards who ignore the safety of the carriages and start attacking the restaurant as soon as they are attacked, or the actions of ambushers in other shops after the appearance of them, it can make anyone with normal logic realize that the assassination has failed.

The Cao Gang was completely defeated, so it was naturally impossible for him to have a target in the car, but the assassin they arranged there had fallen into the other party's net!

In just a short moment, Li Ling had made such a judgment, which made him unable to help but look back at Yang Qinghou, wanting to see how regretful he regretted in such a desperate situation. Because it was his willful act and pushing everyone, the entire Cao Gang fell into such an abyss, which was his responsibility.

But what caught my eye was Yang Qinghou's calm face. Not to mention regret and panic, he didn't even frown at all. He just watched the incident that was staged several miles away calmly, with some strange light in his eyes, as if this failure had nothing to do with him.

"How could this be..." Li Ling's breathing suddenly stopped, and a thought quickly grew with the changes in the situation ahead - those soldiers were like rivers rushing, and they rushed into the restaurants on both sides without any obstacles. Then there was no sound of fighting inside. It seemed that there were two empty buildings there, or everyone in the building had completely given up on resisting.

As the people who entered retreated like a wave, they were empty-handed and had no gains. Li Ling could be more convinced that the previous guess was good - these two restaurants that should have been secretly ambushed the killer were completely vacant, and the Cao Gang was not among them at all.

"How is this possible..." Li Ling opened his eyes wide, and this time he was completely shocked. Then, he thought of another detail - what just caused all these changes was a cold light, and only a cold light.

In fact, according to the determination to assassinate Liu Runsheng and take his life, this is obviously far from enough. Why? While the cold light as an order was flying out, there should be countless weapons or countless masters of the Cao Gang who came out to fight with his enemies in the restaurants on both sides.

Perhaps, this is exactly what the other party wanted to see. This was how their original ambush was arranged. But as a result, there was no other attack except that cold light.

Finally, Li Ling couldn't help it, and formally stared at Yang Qinghou, who was still expressionless, and slowly asked the biggest question in his heart: "What's going on?"

...

"What the hell is going on?"

The same questions came from the hearts of the Caogang heroes who had left Chang'anfang quickly, and they were talking.

Just as the target carriage was already in sight and the assassination was about to go as planned, everyone beside the people lying in the restaurant showed the gang leader's bamboo festival order: "The gang leader has his life, let's leave here now!"

Everyone was stunned at that time. Wasn’t this planned by the gang leader? For this moment, everyone had been waiting for three years and preparing for several months. Why did they suddenly change their minds?

However, in front of the Yan Ling, they didn't have much questioning. They could only leave reluctantly through the back door of the restaurant before the vehicle was about to approach. According to the previous drill for many days, they could easily walk around the road from Chang'anfang even at night.

Shortly after they left, hundreds of officials emerged from the ambush point where they thought they could kill the target. After seeing this scene, they were not only shocked, but also more impressed. Their gang leader was indeed powerful, and he actually let everyone get out earlier like the predecessor of the uncertainty. Once they took another step late, they might be in trouble.

But at the same time, the questions in their hearts became even bigger - why did the people in the government have been ambushing here for a long time? How did they know that their family would have this trick? And how could their gang leader notice the danger at the last moment and let everyone evacuate in time?

But obviously, it is impossible for anyone to guess this question for the time being. They are now eager to leave, return to the safe point, and see the leader of the gang again.

Gao Ting changed his mind and walked forward hurriedly. But just as he followed everyone into an alley ahead, he put one hand on his shoulder: "Old Gao..."

The familiar voice relaxed Gao Ting's warning, but just as he was about to ask, the force on his hand suddenly increased. At the same time, the other hand had fallen down quickly, hitting the back of his neck. With a muffled sound, he felt that his eyes were dark, and his body immediately softened, but was supported by the person behind him.

"Old Feng, what are you doing?" The people who were traveling with me were surprised to see this scene and asked immediately.

"This is what the gang leader means. Take the people back and take them back and take them back. At that time, the gang leader will give everyone an explanation." Lao Feng said, stuffing the people into their hands, turning back, and after rushing to the street, he suddenly shouted: "Rebellion, Jiangnan soldiers have entered Beijing to rebel!"
