The relationship between Li Ling and Yang Qingxiao has always been quite subtle. Both of them actually have a certain favorable impression of each other, but neither of them has made any statement that no one took that step and pierced the window paper. If it was placed in future generations, it would be summarized in one sentence - AVA is above, and the lover is not full.

After all, Yang Qingxiao is just a girl with a tender face and a little worried about gains and losses, so she really takes the initiative to express her feelings to Li Ling. As for Li Ling, he also has his own concerns, because the other party's background is actually far higher than him, and the officialdom in his body is worried about involving people, and his emphasis on feelings makes him dare not start a relationship easily, so he can only drag it on.

In fact, what Li Ling didn't know was that Yang Qingxiao had already thought of giving up at this time, because in her opinion, her several hints were ignored by Li Ling, obviously because the other party had no intention of her, which made her feel a little inferior, and she felt that she was just a woman in the martial arts world who was not worthy of a court official like Li Ling. She even wanted to leave in a few days.

As a result, Li Ling made such a plan today, and now he even hugged her in his arms. The breathing between the two was audible. This made Yang Qingxiao's face turn red quickly after a moment of loss of consciousness. She wanted to struggle, but she couldn't use any strength at this moment. Perhaps she didn't want to leave Li Ling's arms.

As if feeling her struggle, Li Ling hugged her harder and said softly: "Listen to me, Qingxiao, I am not a stone in my heart, how could I not know? I was just worried that the environment I was in might affect you and even the Cao Gang, so I didn't dare to express it. But now, after some things happened, I figured it out.

"Some things are better than not doing, and some things are better than not saying. Because if you don't seize the opportunity and say things, if you miss them, it will only make you regret it for the rest of your life. I don't want to myself, and I don't want you to regret it in the future. So even if it may cause trouble in the future, I will tell you today, I...I like you!"

This sentence came to his ears, making Yang Qingxiao feel sweet and a little aggrieved. She clenched her hands into fists and gently hit his shoulders: "You...you hate..." As she spoke, her eyes turned red, but there was a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth.

Li Ling continued to hold her hard: "I am abominable, so are you willing to wait for me, a hateful person in the capital? When I come back, I will marry you!"

"You... are you serious?"

"I, Li Ling, never lie about this matter. Are you willing?" After saying this, Li Ling suddenly straightened the person again, making the two look at each other at close range, waiting for her answer.

Yang Qingxiao's face turned redder, but her eyes did not escape. After a moment, she nodded vigorously: "I'll wait for you to come back, you want to come back safely."

"I will. Whether it is for you, Yue'er, or other friends and family, I will be careful when I go to southern Yunnan this time and then return safely."

The two of them intertwined again, then leaned up at the same time, hugging each other tightly again. At this time, a small figure turned from the gate of the courtyard next to them. Just as they were about to say something, they immediately widened their eyes after seeing the two people hugging each other, and then hurriedly covered their mouths so hard that they did not make themselves scream.

Yue'er looked at her brother holding Sister Yang in amazement. After a while, she quickly shrank back with a smile, and muttered to herself: "It turns out that my brother also likes Sister Yang, they are really a couple..." When she thought about this, somehow, she felt a little sour in her heart, as if something was about to be taken away by someone...

Yang Qingxiao hugged Li Ling back and did not let go for a long time, as if she wanted to make up for the previous anxiety and anxiety. But after a while, she couldn't help but ask gently: "When will you leave the capital?"

"In two days, the court will issue documents first and then make arrangements."

"Well, I'll go to see you off at that time. Also, don't worry about your family and Yue'er. I will take good care of her as if I were taking care of her own sister."

"I believe you...but there is something you are wrong. Since she is my real sister, isn't she your real sister?" Li Ling suddenly smiled, but it made the other party feel embarrassed and annoyed, and his little fist hit his body. However, the pink fist that could instinctively knocked down the big man with one punch was so powerless at this moment...

With the emperor's promotion, Li Ling's trip to southern Yunnan naturally became very smooth. Within two rooms, Ye Kuan, the Minister of Revenue, called Li Ling to the front and asked if he really wanted to go back to southern Yunnan. After getting the affirmative answer, he immediately gave him relevant documents and emphasized that when he went to southern Yunnan, he was the special envoy of the court, and as long as he was involved in tax affairs, he could do it cheaply!

These official documents are not only Li Ling's identity certificate, but also can be transferred to the local government to obey Li Ling's orders. Although he is not a real imperial envoy, he is not much worse than the imperial envoy in terms of power. Of course, this means that under the premise that the officials in southern Yunnan really respect the court, if the people there think that the sky is high and the emperor is far away, they don't have to take him seriously, then it would be a different matter.

But even so, Li Ling's appointment caused quite a stir in the Ministry of Revenue. Not to mention those officials who are in charge, even Bian Xuedao was surprised. The power given to him by the court this time is too great?

However, everyone did not raise any objection after all. This was not only because it was the will of the court or the decree of the tribe, but also because everyone knew that Li Ling was also quite dangerous to go to southern Yunnan. It was not too exaggerated to say that it was a matter of life. Others asked themselves that they did not have the courage to do so.

At this point, the matter of Li Ling's trip to southern Yunnan was completely decided, but those who knew about it were only trapped in the Ministry of Revenue and some of his relatives and friends.

...

Three days later, at Luohe Wharf, several double-brigged merchant ships were ready to go, and the last batch of cargo was being carried into the cabin by many hard-working men. On the edge of the wharf, several waves of seeing off teams were making the final farewell.

When Li Ling left Beijing this time, he took a merchant ship under the Cao Gang's name to secretly move south from now on, and then crossed the mountains by land into southern Yunnan. In order not to cause more trouble, he only brought Li Moyun with him this time and pretended to be an ordinary scholar. Therefore, the people from the Ministry of Revenue did not come to see him off, only Yang Qingxiao and a few friends came to see him off for the last journey.

At this moment, Yue'er was still holding his hand tightly, and refused to let go, her face full of reluctance and sadness: "Brother, can you not go?"

Li Ling touched the little girl's hair again: "Of course not, I promised you that I will come back as soon as possible."

Then he made a final farewell to Wanlang and the others, and told them how to develop the bookstore and newspapers next. Several people repeatedly said that it was.

Finally, it was Yang Qingxiao's turn. At this time, her eyes turned red again: "You must be careful when you go there. There are no lawless people outside than the capital, and there are even more lawless people in southern Yunnan."

"Well, I'll be careful."

"Also, I heard that there are many barbarians there who are good at using poisonous insects. You wear this..." Yang Qingxiao said, untied a small jade pendant from his neck and put it in Li Ling's hand.

Feeling the residual body temperature of the woman on the jade pendant in her hand, Li Ling also blushed a little: "Is this?"

Yang Qingxiao's face turned red, but she still explained: "This is the evil-proof jade that Uncle Mu gave me back then, so that those poisonous substances dare not approach you."

Li Ling felt the care from the other party, so he nodded and immediately hung the jade pendant on his neck with great value: "I will keep hanging it and return it to you when I come back."

"Well, you have to put this and this one away." Yang Qingxiao took out a thin vest and a cylindrical metal, and handed it to Li Ling's hand as if she was doing magic.

Seeing that he was a little confused, he explained softly: "This dress is made of golden silk mixed with other tough things. Generally, swords and swords are hard to hurt. You must wear them closely. There are also 128 silver needles in this tube, all of which are poisonous. As long as you press this machine, no one can escape within a distance of one meter. These are all protected by my father in the past, and now you have brought them all."

The other party cared so much about him, which made Li Ling feel even warmer. Naturally, he would not refuse and solemnly accepted these two life-saving things: "Then you should be careful here, don't forget what I said the day before yesterday."

Yang Qingxiao nodded vigorously with a red face and wanted to say something, but heard that the boat had already shouted a few times, but it was time to set sail and leave the port, so she could only say: "Be careful all the way, no matter what happens, please ensure your safety first, and then think about anything else!"

Li Ling nodded, then said goodbye to everyone one by one, and then walked towards the springboard connecting the ship and the shore with Li Moyun.

Just as Li Moyun walked up first and Li Ling followed him, a slightly familiar voice sounded behind him: "Brother Li, wait!"

Li Ling turned around and saw Lu Zhen bringing two people to come quickly, which surprised him a little, and he suddenly looked. Lu Zhen quickly came to him and smiled and said, "Mr. Li is really quick, and he almost missed it."

"Mr. Lu, you are..." Li Ling looked at him curiously. He didn't have a deep friendship with him, so why did he come to see him off?

Lu Zhen smiled: "You and I are also a colleague, so I should send you off each other. Besides, this is what Eunuch Wei means."

"Eunuch Wei..." Li Ling even muttered in his heart, what is the Imperial City Department going to do?

"My father-in-law is worried that there will be dangers or difficulties on your trip to South Yunnan Road, so he specially sent two good men from our Imperial City Division, Yang Chen and Yang Zhen, to go with you. They are not only skilled in martial arts, but also the most loyal. You can ask them to do anything you have." As he said that, Lu Zhen pointed to the two brothers who were 70 to 80% similar, and they quickly hugged Li Ling to bow.

This made Li Ling even more and more strange, but since this was Wei Tang's intention, he couldn't refuse, so he could only say: "Then I will thank Eunuch Wei and Lord Lu for your kindness. Let's take me on the boat!"

The ship was about to set off, and there was no time to say anything. Li Ling immediately took the two of them on the boat again. Under the gaze of everyone on the shore, the merchant ship put away the anchor, slowly left the dock, and left the river farther away...

At the same time, in a house not far away, a gray-white carrier pigeon also flew straight into the sky, rushing towards the south at a faster speed than a ship, and soon disappeared.
