Yang Lian was shocked at this time, and he didn't react until the two disappeared from sight, and then he came back to his senses. He didn't know that the man in black and the woman in white were walking and whispering about things.

"Senior brother, do you know this man?" The woman in white asked strangely, just now she found that the senior brother was very polite to this man, which was a little different from the usual senior brother.

"He's a bit like an old man." The man in black said very nostalgically, and then shook his head, and said, "But it's impossible, that person has been dead for many years, and his grave is in Jinling, and I once went to pay respects." And back then, I watched him enter the coffin, and there would never be a mistake. ”

"Senior brother, why haven't I heard about you about this?" The woman in white was strange, the two had studied art for many years, and they were very familiar with each other, and they had never heard their senior brother talk about it, so they felt strange.

"It's all old in the past, just let it fade into the wind!" The man in black sighed, paused, and said, "Those grievances in the imperial court can't be explained clearly. My Yanyu Pavilion is just a sect of rivers and lakes, so it's better not to get involved in the dispute of the imperial court. With that, he quickened his pace.

"Alas!" The woman in white sighed, and she didn't know who she was sorry for. She took a few light steps and caught up with the man in black, like an immortal, and disappeared from Yang Lian's sight.

After the two left, Yang Lian came back to his senses, he approached the deceased, only to see that there was a shallow but fatal sword mark on the deceased's throat. This man's swordsmanship is so powerful. Yang Lian thought, squatting down, searching the deceased, hoping to find some clues.

After flipping through it, there was not much left on the deceased's body, and Yang Lian only found a small piece of broken silver, about two or three taels, in addition to half a hanging coin, and a broken book. When I opened the book, I saw that it was a qigong book, with pictures and annotations. Yang Lian thought about it and took the book into his arms.

I flipped through it again, and there was nothing left on the deceased's body, and it seemed to be a small minion. Yang Lian was about to stand up, and found that on his shoulder, there was a tiger claw, vivid, as if he would pounce on this person's shoulder at any time and give the prey a fatal blow.

"Is this a sign of a thief in Taihu Lake?" Yang Lian thought, looked at it carefully, and kept the figure firmly in his heart. Zhang Qili's eldest brother died at the hands of the Taihu Lake water thieves, and according to what the deceased said before he died, behind the Taihu Lake water thieves, there are more hardline forces supporting them.

Who exactly? Is it really as the folk rumors say, is it the Southern Tang people who support it? Yang Lian wasn't sure, but he knew that this account would have to be repaid with blood.

Scooping up the deceased's body, Yang Lian walked towards the dense forest, and when he was fighting with the deceased, he suspected that Zhang Qili was missing. Although he didn't allow Zhang Qiqi to come out, if Zhang Qiqi came out at that time, he would be able to kill the Taihu Lake water thief. In addition, what puzzled Yang Lian was that this little girl was too quiet and did not fit her character.

When Yang Lian stepped into the dense forest and entered the place where he was hiding last night, reality confirmed his conjecture, and Zhang Qili was indeed gone! Where did this little girl go? Yang Lian firmly believes that it is impossible for her to abandon herself, because with the memory in her heart, he knows that Zhang Qili is not such a person. Besides, he just refuses to let himself down.

Sure enough, not far from the hiding place last night, the leaves on the ground were messy, and there were two crooked words written on them: Jinling.

These two words made Yang Lian stunned, these two words carried a lot of things, which made him think a lot for a while, he didn't understand, how could Zhang Qili leave these two words, what did she do in Jinling? Who took her? So unaware.

Yang Lian only hesitated slightly, he had already made a decision, since God let him be reborn in this person named "Yang Lian", there may be too many things that he needs to solve. In that case, you might as well go to Jinling to have a look.

Jinling is in the northwest of the two states of Suzhou and Changzhou, and it is only two or three hours away in later generations, but now Yang Lian has no horses, so he can only rely on a pair of feet, and it will take at least ten days to reach Jinling. Yang Lian thought about it for a while, although Zhang Qili disappeared, but from all kinds of signs, her life was not in danger, and now it is the best policy to take care of her body first. Yang Lian was also very interested in the booklet found from the Taihu Lake water thief.

Half of the rabbit that Zhang Qiqi left on the ground was roasted, and Yang Lian ate the rabbit and slowly traveled north. Heavy rain also fell from time to time in the north, Yang Lian walked very slowly, and three days later at dusk, Yang Lian settled in Henglin Town on the side of the Grand Canal.

Henglin Town is located in the southeast of Changzhou, more than 100 miles away from the county seat of Changzhou, because it is close to the canal, it is the canal hub of Jiangsu and Changzhou, and even in the Jiangdong area, so the town is quite prosperous, the scenery is also very beautiful, the green willows on both sides of the river, people come and go, it is very lively, even in this troubled era, there are actually a lot of high-nosed and deep-eyed alien races interspersed in it, adding a bit of exotic customs to the town.

Yang Lian traveled all the way, sleepy and tired, and planned to sleep well and rest well. It's not that Yang Lian hasn't thought about buying a horse, but he is shy in his pocket, so he can only look at the horse and sigh. It seems that you can only rely on this pair of feet to get to Jinling.

Walking into the town, Yang Lian looked around, did Zhang Qili stay here? If you want to go to Jinling, this is the only way to go. But in the vast sea of people, there is no trace at all. Yang Lian couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile, let's go to Jinling first.

Yang Lian was thinking about it, suddenly, the street was full of people, Yang Lian looked up, only to see several war horses galloping in front of him, led by several cavalry with an arrogant attitude, many people were not in a hurry to dodge, and were whipped a few times by the cavalry, and their faces suddenly hurt hotly. The people looked at this group of arrogant cavalry, and saw that they were wearing armor and carrying waist knives at their waists, so they had to swallow their anger and dodge one after another, not daring to look for mold.

Yang Lian stepped aside and looked at the cavalry coldly. These cavalrymen were well-armored and well-trained at first glance. Looking back, behind the cavalry, there was also a carriage, which was slowly moving. These cavalrymen were there to clear the way for carriages.

The carriage is extremely gorgeously decorated, and it can be seen that the people in the carriage are either rich or expensive. But thinking of the cavalry opening the way for it, it can be judged that the people in the carriage, even if they are not official eunuchs, are also family members of official eunuchs. Just as Yang Lian was guessing, in the carriage, the curtains were lifted.

A beautiful face appeared in front of Yang Lian, a young girl. The girl has a phoenix hairpin on her head, and her round face looks a little baby fat, but it doesn't affect her beauty at all. By the girl's side, there is a more immature face, looking at the dress, it is a maid.

When Yang Lian saw the girl with a phoenix hairpin, he couldn't help but be stunned. This girl is not small, I'm afraid she is a member of the royal family. At this moment, Yang Lian looked at the girl for a moment, and his thoughts were myriad.

"Poof!" The maid in the carriage chuckled, approached the girl, and whispered, "Princess, look at that person, so rude." ”

The girl looked at the maid's fingers, and saw a man with a burly figure and a dignified appearance, but a scar on his face, looking at herself, and couldn't help but be stunned.

"This man is so bold!" The girl said, her eyes frowning slightly. She instructed the maid and said, "Tell the guards to bring this man to me." ”

The maid ate and laughed, and the probe commanded. When she returned, she looked out the window again, and Yang Lian had disappeared.

Yang Lian did disappear quickly, and he originally planned to take another walk on the street to learn about the situation in Nantang, but he was hungry, and as a foodie, he had to fill his stomach first. It turned out that Yang Lian's decision was wise, and soon after he disappeared, the girl's men searched in the crowd, but never found Yang Lian's figure, so they had to return.

Yang Lian was looking for a clean and quiet inn in the town. He searched along the canal, his gaze sweeping over an inn. This inn covers a very large area, and the decoration is extremely ornate, and the two huge stone lion town buildings in front of the door, red lanterns, lit with bright candles, look very hazy at dusk.

Yang Lian walked along the wide stone road, about to walk through, suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps came from behind him, Yang Lian couldn't help but look back, only to see a man in Tsing Yi, who was running over with a smile on his face, and stopped three steps away from Yang Lian.

"Excuse me, but Yang Gongzi?" The man in green clothes said.

Yang Lian narrowed his eyes, with a sense of vigilance in his eyes, and his hands clenched into fists, ready to attack.

The man in Tsing Yi saw Yang Lian's expression and said busily: "Yang Gongzi, don't be nervous, someone has booked an upper room for Gongzi in the Despicable Inn, and he also instructed the villain, saying that Yang Gongzi will come to Henglin Town in the next few days, and he wants the villain to watch it." ”

Yang Lian couldn't help but be stunned, someone booked a room for him? Who is it? Yang Lian was stunned for a moment, and the man in Tsing Yi said again: "Since receiving the task, the villain has been guarding the door of the store every day, and finally Yang Gongzi is here!" As he spoke, he looked at Yang Lian flatteringly, hoping that Yang Lian could give him some rewards.

The corners of Yang Lian's mouth curled slightly, he thought of a person, the person who booked a room for him, it was very likely that he was the one who took Zhang Qili away, but he or she, why did he do this? No matter what this person's purpose is, Yang Lian is one thing certain, this person has no bad intentions. If he has bad intentions, when he fights with the Taihu Lake water thieves, this person can take his life at any time. But this person does not, according to this calculation, even if this person does not have a good impression of himself, he is still a neutral person.

Yang Lian hesitated slightly, then nodded and said, "You lead the way in front!" "Since this person has already set up a room, Yang Lian can't help it, isn't it a kindness to others? If you come, you will be safe, Yang Lian is not afraid.

The man in Tsing Yi was stunned for a moment, and his eyes swept with a trace of dissatisfaction, but he soon smiled and said, "Young Master Yang, please come here." He walked away quickly.

Yang Lian followed behind him, the man in Tsing Yi must have gotten a lot of money after waiting here for a few days, otherwise how could he work so hard? Yang Lian just tried it and saw that the man in Tsing Yi had absolutely nothing to do with the people behind the scenes.
