Chapter 219: Battle of the Heroes (Part 2)
The same thing is obviously different to different people.
Li Ling's remarks made Yang Qingxiao think about stopping last night, and therefore took him here to try to convince others. However, although these Cao Gang heroes also looked solemn at this moment, they were obviously far from being shaken. Many people even had some suspicion in their eyes when they looked at Li Ling.
"The surname is Li, don't you send me to disrupt our military morale!" The man like an iron tower asked with a bad expression.
"Brother, you're too worried. If I really stood on the side of the government, I wouldn't have to come to visit today. I just had to report your intentions early. There will be a large army of imperial court coming to encircle and capture. Do you think you can escape?" Li Ling looked at him with a smile.
"I think he was worried that he would be implicated by us, so he came up with such words to dissuade us from taking revenge!" The gentle man said with a sneer.
Li Ling's heartbeat quickly, but this person caught the key, but he still remained calm: "I dare not say that there is no concern in this regard at all, but I still consider the overall situation of the Cao Gang. I have made it very clear that once the incident occurs, the involvement will inevitably be very wide. As long as it is related to the Cao Gang, no one can escape."
"What if the government can't find out the truth?"
"That's impossible. This is the capital. Once such a big thing happens, the Ministry of Justice, Luoyang Prefecture and the Imperial City Office will definitely be full of elite troops. No one can hide it from them. As the same thing, if you want others to do nothing, you will give up your reckless behavior, the best choice to protect yourself."
"This is impossible. The old leader and the heroic spirits of hundreds of brothers are still watching us in the sky. If we don't take this revenge, what will we have to see them after we die?"
"I never said that I would not take revenge, but just told you not to take revenge with such fierce and risky means. Even if you take revenge, you should use some more reliable methods. Besides, why are you so sure that you can kill Liu Runsheng as long as you take action? What if you fail?" Li Ling continued to stare at them, "I can't steal the chicken, but I think you can't do stupid things that you can't do, right?"
"Officials like you certainly don't understand that our Cao Gang brothers are in harmony with each other. They will pay their lives to take revenge! You said that was a stupid thing, but in our opinion, this is the most important thing. Not only us, but every Cao Gang brother, including our gang leader, also thinks so!"
Their stubbornness was beyond Li Ling's expectations. He originally claimed to be eloquent, but now he really felt powerless as a scholar when he met a soldier. The only thing he could do was to be tough and tough: "I won't let you make a big mistake! What if I really asked someone to send a message to Liu Runsheng and let your overall plan fail?"
"So brave!" With a sudden shout, the man like an iron tower rushed to Li Ling, and his big hand like a palm fan pulled Li Ling's clothes, as if he could throw him out of the window with his hand raised.
Li Ling did not dodge or avoid, and followed the trend, but still stared at his eyes: "For the sake of innocent people, I still have this courage!"
"Then I will kill you now. I want to see how you inform me and ask for a dream?" The man said, his fist clenched with his other hand and was about to start.
Yang Qingxiao quickly stepped forward and grabbed him: "Uncle Liao, Li Ling is our own family, don't hurt the harmony..."
"I think he is just afraid of death. No one in the government can be reliable if he is his own people!" Uncle Liao's fist was raised, and his eyes were full of threats.
Although Li Ling's face turned a little pale at this time, he did not feel timid at all. He looked at him calmly: "It is indeed easy for you to kill me, but it is impossible to completely cover up the matter! I am not afraid to tell you that I have left a letter to my subordinates before I came here. As long as I can't go back today, they will send the letter to Luoyang Mansion as I said, and the above has written everything I know clearly!"
"What!" This time the thick and powerful man finally became furious, and his fists roared out, but just when Li Ling subconsciously closed his eyes and thought he was about to be knocked out, the fist as big as a vinegar bowl stopped only an inch away from his face, and at the same time, his rapid breathing also sprayed on Li Ling's face: "Tell me again!"
"I said that you have to stop if you want to stop this matter, and you have to stop if you don't want to! No matter how impossible it is, giving up is the best choice!" Li Ling opened his eyes and continued to stare at the other party and said.
Everyone around them also changed color at this time. With the clanging sound, some swords were also unsheathed. They were angry and seemed to pounce on Li Ling at any time. This made Yang Qingxiao so anxious that she didn't know what to do: "You... how could you do this..." She really believed Li Ling's statement.
"Sorry, Miss Yang, I was not sure to convince everyone, so I had to make this decision." Li Ling smiled bitterly: "As long as you believe me, I will definitely be responsible for this matter. After waiting for three years, can't you be more patient and give me ten days and half a month to plan countermeasures?"
"You... really have a way to avenge us with the help of officialdom?" A calm man next to him suddenly asked.
"I can only say that I will do my best. Whether you believe or not depends on you. If you don't take yourself seriously, there is no way for me." Li Ling was still tough to the end.
"Uncle Liao, I also believe that he has this ability. You...you can let him down first." Yang Qingxiao stepped forward with some concern and continued to beg.
The strong man's eyes flashed, as if he was weighing and considering it. Finally, he bit his teeth and let go of his hand: "Okay, I will believe you this time. But boy, you can hear it clearly. This time, things will not be fooled by you so easily. I, Liao Dayong, will keep staring at you. If you can't do it, even if I can't kill Liu Runsheng, it will be easy to kill you!"
Li Ling coughed twice, adapting to the sadness in his throat, and then nodded and said, "Yes, you can just look!"
"No!" Unexpectedly, the gentle man suddenly slapped the table and shouted, "We have been planning this matter for so long, and now everything is ready. The leader of the gang is coming to Beijing to take charge of the overall situation. You must not deny it just because of your words! I, Gao Ting, disagree!"
This resonated with the other two: "I don't agree either! This is our Cao Gang business, and it cannot be decided by an outsider!"
"It is impossible for the gang leader to agree to let it go!"
Li Ling's brows frowned quickly, but unexpectedly there were twists and turns again. What should I do? Yang Qingxiao was even more surprised: "Brother Gao, have you advised your brother before not to be blinded by hatred, and to put the overall situation first? Why have you changed your mind now?"
Gao Ting said with a serious expression: "Miss, I have advised the leader of the gang like this before, but he also told me, what are the brothers of our Cao Gang gathering together? It is because we are united in our hearts. We are real brothers and sisters!
"Now, more than 400 brothers and the old gang leader have been harmed by others, and the enemy is approaching. If we are timid, we are afraid that the hearts of the people will really disperse. What Li Ling said, "Once the incident happens, our Cao Gang will inevitably suffer a catastrophe, but it will only happen after the incident. But if we don't take revenge and let Liu Runsheng leave, the foundation of our Cao Gang will be completely shaken. At that time, we will fall apart without external threats!
"So, the two evils are the least. I still think that we should follow the original plan of the gang leader. Even if we have to take risks, even if we die, and even if the consequences are extremely serious, we should kill Liu Runsheng and take revenge!"
His words were reasonable and loud, and even the few people who had shaken before had regained their thoughts. Li Ling was completely stunned. He really didn't expect that such an eloquent and sharp-talking guy was hidden among these rude heroes.
Now, my thoughtful remarks were in vain.
At this time, Gao Ting's eyes fell on him again: "Mr. Li, I know you have too many concerns. Although you worshipped me, Cao Gang, you are not our true brother after all, so in your opinion, revenge is far from more important than safety. We don't blame you, but we also hope that you can understand our difficulties. There is no possibility of this matter changing!"
Li Ling opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he said something, he didn't know how to say it.
The other party finally mentioned: "If you are really afraid of being implicated, then leave the capital quickly. Our Cao Gang has a lot of people in the capital recently, so it is not difficult to send you away."
"That's right, boy, if you are really afraid of death, you should escape from the capital quickly. We won't blame you!" Everyone said mockingly, the solemn atmosphere had dissipated, and the wavering mood became firmer again.
Even Yang Qingxiao changed her mind again and looked at Li Ling apologetically: "Brother Li..."
Li Ling was silent and then smiled bitterly. He thought he could change them, but found that he was thinking too much after all. After all, both sides belonged to people from two worlds.
At this moment, the door was pushed open again. Everyone turned their heads to look alertly, then relaxed again, and smiled: "Gangmaster (brother)... are you here in the capital so soon?"
The one who came was Yang Qinghou. Li Ling didn't look carefully because of the weather. Until now, he looked carefully and found that his face was indeed pathologically pale, which was obviously because he could not recover after serious injury.
