Yang Xiu also lived up to his reputation as an erudite man. After learning about the grievances between Yang Ling and Cao Pi, he quickly came up with a solution.
It can not only remove Yang Ling and wash away the shame of the Han Dynasty, but also let Cao Ang and Cao Pi fight to weaken Cao Cao's power.
It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone!
But after hearing his father's praise, Yang Xiu didn't feel happy at all. Instead, he sighed.
"Father, is it worth doing this? If the Prime Minister finds out, I'm afraid our entire Yang family will be executed!"
"So what? As a father and a subject of the Han Dynasty, I should serve my country loyally and get rid of Cao Cao's thieves for the Han Dynasty!"
Yang Biao said with a solemn expression.
"Father, the Prime Minister is a man of great talent and strategy. He works hard to govern. He has a cloud of advisers and a rain of fierce generals. He is truly a true hero who rules the world. Why do you..."
"shut up!"
Yang Biao glared at his son and said coldly,
"You have to remember that our family is all Hanchen!"
Yang Xiu opened his mouth, but was helpless.
…
Yangling Mansion.
He woke up from his sleep and just stretched.
Guo Zhao on the side noticed it immediately and forced his delicate body to sit up.
"Master, I will undress you..."
Yang Ling held down her delicate body and said with a smile,
"You worked hard last night, so you just need to lie down and rest."
Seeing how considerate he was, Guo Zhao's pretty face turned red and she felt very sweet in her heart.
When Yang Ling was dressed and ready to leave, he thought of something again and turned around and warned,
"In addition, from today on, you are no longer a slave, but my concubine, do you understand?"
"Slave...oh no, I remember it."
Guo Zhao nodded obediently.
It's still early.
Yang Ling got up and went to the courtyard. He practiced martial arts for a while and then went to the front hall to prepare for dinner.
"Brother, why did you get up so early today?"
Zhao Yun happened to be there, and when he saw Yang Ling arriving, he smiled and joked.
"How can I, a good man, sleep in late? I should get up early every day and exercise my fists and feet to serve the country!"
Yang Ling said with an upright expression.
Zhao Yun immediately couldn't laugh or cry.
Brother, have you forgotten that you played music every night and didn’t get up until noon?
After breakfast, just when Yang Ling was about to go to Huang Yueying and ask her to help improve the handgun, he saw a servant rushing over.
"Master, there is someone outside the door who claims to be sent by the Prime Minister and wants to see the master."
"oh?"
Yang Ling was slightly startled, then nodded and said,
"Let him in."
After a while, a guard strode in.
"Meet sir!"
Yang Ling glanced at him and said casually,
"Why did the Prime Minister send you here?"
"Reply to Sir, the Prime Minister said that he has something important to ask you to come over."
The guard said.
"Okay, let's go there now!"
Yang Ling nodded, stood up, and prepared to leave with the guard.
At this moment, his eyes suddenly fell on Zhao Yun beside him, and he smiled and said,
"Zilong, you happen to have nothing to do today, so you might as well come with me."
"yes, Sir!"
Zhao Yun did not refuse and stood up.
Seeing this situation, the guard's eyes flashed with nervousness and uneasiness, but in the end he said nothing.
After leaving Yang Ling's mansion, the three of them walked for a while, and Yang Ling suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Because the Prime Minister's Mansion is located in the center of Xudu City, very close to the imperial palace.
The residences of the dignitaries in the court were all in that area.
However, the direction this guard led was to a remote and desolate place in the city.
Yang Ling was a little confused.
"Isn't the Prime Minister at the mansion?"
"Ah...to tell you sir, yes. The Prime Minister is handling affairs here."
When the guard spoke, his eyes averted.
Yang Ling frowned and continued calmly,
"Why are you here today instead of the two generals Dian Wei and Xu Chu?"
"Um...the two generals will have a rest today."
The guard laughed dryly.
When he said these words, Yang Ling immediately sensed that there was a ghost!
Cao Cao trusted Dian Wei and Xu Chu very much, and rarely gave them two holidays at the same time!
Besides, even if they were sleeping at the same time, given their personalities, they would definitely go to Yang Ling's house early in the morning to eat and drink!
"Who on earth sent you?"
Yang Ling asked in a deep voice.
"Sir, what do you mean by this? The villain was sent by the Prime Minister."
The guard pretended to be dumbfounded, but the panic in his eyes could not be concealed.
Yang Ling was too lazy to talk nonsense with him anymore and said to Zhao Yun who was standing aside,
"Zilong, take him down first!"
Zhao Yun also noticed something was wrong and rushed forward with a quick stride.
The guard still wanted to resist, but he was no match for Zhao Yun.
In just one round, he was pinned to the ground by Zhao Yun.
"Tell me! What is your purpose in pretending to be the Prime Minister and tricking me into coming here?"
Yang Ling asked sharply.
Seeing that the matter was exposed, the guard gritted his teeth and said loudly,
"Brothers, do it quickly!"
At this time, they were located in a remote alley, with dilapidated and desolate houses on both sides.
However, just as the guard finished speaking, a group of men in black emerged like shadows.
"Zilong, be careful, it's Lingyue Repeating Crossbow!"
The sharp-eyed Yang Ling saw at a glance that the men in black at the front were holding four Lingyue Repeating Crossbows!
This is a product controlled by the military, how could it get out?
Yang Ling didn't have time to think too much when he saw the man in black opposite him pull the trigger.
"Swish swish!"
Dense arrows were shot from all over the place.
In this narrow alley, there is no room to dodge!
My life is at an end!
Yang Ling was shocked.
At this critical moment, Zhao Yun suddenly lifted up the guard who was pinned to the ground.
"Brother, stand behind me!"
Yang Ling hurriedly hid behind Zhao Yun.
"Puff puff!"
The guard who was used as a shield by Zhao Yun was instantly shot into a hornet's nest!
When he went out today, Yang Ling really thought it was Boss Cao who invited him over.
Not to mention armor, not even weapons.
He and Zhao Yun were both dressed in casual clothes.
The one on the other side was not only holding a murder weapon, but also a powerful weapon like the Ling Yue Repeating Crossbow.
If you continue to fight, I'm afraid you will die!
So Yang Ling made a quick decision,
"Zilong, retreat!"
Naturally, Zhao Yun would not go against Yang Ling's wishes, so he still raised the body as a cover and slowly retreated.
After leaving the alley, the two dropped the body and ran away!
When the men in black chased them out, they only saw Yang Ling and Zhao Yun disappearing into the crowd.
They could only stamp their feet helplessly, turned around and disappeared into the alley.
…
After confirming that the group of men in black had not caught up, Yang Ling, who was still in shock, breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother, who...is this sent by?"
Zhao Yun couldn't help but said.
"How do I know?"
Yang Ling couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He never thought that he would be assassinated in Xudu City!
