Compared with Yanyu Jiangnan, the northern land is really too desolate and too cold, which makes it difficult to be happy, except for the pure white snow.

In this pure white world, there was a line of people moving forward slowly.

Two carriages, dozens of light rides.

It was Lin Ruo and Li Yan and their party.

According to the itinerary, it was feasible to rush to Bian'an City before the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, so the group could not speed up.

Li Xien has been sticking to Lin Ruo, this aunt who always smiles lightly and patiently repeats to him again and again, is really a very magical character, will play all kinds of strange games with him, and will conjure up all kinds of delicious snacks that make him covet, unconsciously, he can understand the meaning of his aunt's words more and more quickly, and it is more convenient to communicate with his father, but it is still difficult to communicate with other people.

Whenever this happens, Li Yan will always unconsciously reveal a trace of regret, but Lin Ruo will always touch Li Xien's head with a light smile, and praise without hesitation: "Xi'en is really amazing!" ”

As a result, Li Xien became more and more cheerful when facing Lin Ruo, and even with Lin Ruo's encouragement, he would give snacks and tea to the accompanying guards when everyone was resting, although he still wouldn't talk to them, but he would respond with a smile and release kindness, which was really a lot of progress.

Midu is dead, the revenge of Sister-in-law Li and Aunt Li has been avenged, and Li Yan treats Lin Ruo as he did at the beginning, without any cracks at all. The reason why he didn't write to Lin Ruo before was just to avoid suspicion; Later, it was found out that Mi was the real murderer, and Li Yan was even more reluctant to implicate Lin Ruo.

Although the reason for this has been explained, Lin Ruo still feels guilty about Li Xien, and tries his best to help him become a normal child, and Li Yan does not persuade him much.

Both of them are smart people, and some things don't need to be said much, and they are already clear. What's more, Lin Ruo had already trusted his true identity, and the relationship and degree of trust between the two could be seen.

After Li Xien fell asleep, Lin Ruo came to Li Yan to learn the news he had learned from the Tang Sect killer.

To deal with this kind of hard bones, Leng Shu has a way, and after only one night's work, let him confide cleanly.

But it's a pity, this kind of precarious killer has always been only interested in targets and bounties, and he is not very clear about the grievances within the Tang Sect and the reasons for killing targets.

Therefore, all Lin Ruo and Li Yan could know was a very small amount of useful information.

But in this very small amount of information, there are two extremely key ones: first, Tang Xiao is the young master of the Tang Sect. Second, the Tang Sect is not only targeting Lin Ruo, but the Lin family, and the people who want to deal with the Lin family are related to the Xishu royal family, and this is not the first time they have made a move.

Tang Xiao is the young master of the Tang Sect, Lin Ruo is not much different, he originally felt that this person has a lot to do with the Tang Sect, and he must be an important role in it, so it is expected.

It's just that someone in the Xishu royal family wants to deal with the Lin family?

If it is said that because of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, under Lin Ruo's involvement, Donglu and Xishu suspended the business of Shu Jin, so that some people hold grudges, but it can also explain that someone in the Xishu royal family wants to deal with the Lin family. But this is too far-fetched, for the sake of millions of business, it is necessary to buy murderous mouths, which seems that the royal strength of Xishu is too small.

And, the point is, it's not the first time they've struck!

In other words, they have sent killers to the Lin family many times, so ......

Lin Ruo suddenly clenched his hands, looking excited.

Li Yan noticed her abnormality and hurriedly asked, "Ah Ruo, what's wrong?" ”

"Sister Xi, Sister Xi's business, isn't it them?"

If it wasn't the first shot, all Lin Ruo could think of was Gu Manxi's tragic death. So far, there has been no clue about the murderer, except for the blood-stained jade pendant - the jade pendant that is exactly the same as Gu Manxi, but only her birth date is missing. And it is impossible to determine whether the person holding this jade pendant is the murderer.

"A-ro, A-ruo!"

Li Yan called out twice eagerly, pressing Lin Ruo's trembling shoulder, trying to calm her excited emotions.

Although Lin Ruo is not the real Gu Manxue, she really regards Gu Manxi as her own sister, which is why she is so persistent in finding the murderer of Gu Manxi. It's been nine years, and nothing has been found, and suddenly there is a clue, how can she not be excited?

"Ah Ruo, listen to me," Li Yan's eyes were like torches, with an irresistible majesty, "I know that you have been investigating Ah Xi's death, and although there has been no progress, you have never given up. Now that the other party has just shown a little bit of his feet, you must be calm, and you must be more careful, otherwise you will be in danger, how can you find justice for Ashi? ”

Lin Ruo's eyes were red, his eyes flashed with a sparkling luster, he nodded blankly, and followed Li Yan's words, and continued: "Yes, yes, I want to be calm." I have to think about what to do......"

Li Yan patted Lin Ruo's shoulder and comforted her silently.

Lin Ruo suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Yan: "Brother Huaijin, you will help me, right?" ”

Li Yan nodded without hesitation: "Of course, you and Ah Xi are both my sisters." I will definitely accompany you to find out the real culprit and seek justice for Ashi. ”

"Hmm."

"But you have to promise me that you can't act impulsively, you can't risk your life."

"Okay, I know."

Lin Ruo nodded, took a deep breath, slowly calmed down his mood, and then said, "If Sister Xi's death is really related to the Tang Sect, then I will let Ye Ling investigate it secretly." ”

Li Yan frowned: "How are you going to investigate?" ”

Ye Ling, Li Yan knew his loyalty to Lin Ruo, and he was originally unaccustomed to his fierce and ruthless style, but in the years of Beiqi, he understood: In the land of tigers and wolves, if you don't make a decisive Yin Falcon, you can't establish a foundation at all.

But Gu Manxi has a lot of secrets on him, which cannot be known to others, and it may not be appropriate to hand them over to Ye Ling.

Lin Ruo also took this into consideration, bit his lip and thought for a long time before saying: "The Tang Sect is a Jianghu organization, since it is used by the Xishu royal family, there must be someone who threads the needle in it. If this person can be found, there may be further clues. ”

In this way, not only would Ye Ling not know that this matter was related to Gu Manxi, but he would also be able to complete Lin Ruo's request and find some useful clues.

"It's a good idea."

Li Yan nodded approvingly, although Luo Tingyun had been dealt with, it was a good reason for the Tang Sect to target the Lin family. Moreover, Ye Ling had a lot of festivals with the Tang Sect in Xishu, and finding out the connection between the Tang Sect and the Xishu Imperial Court and finding a way to uproot the Tang Sect was even more beneficial to the Ye family to consolidate their foundation in Xishu.

Seeing that Li Yan agreed, Lin Ruo also had a bottom in his heart: "In this way, when I get to Bian'an, I will send someone to Xishu to write a secret letter and let Ye Ling handle this matter." ”

Li Yan agreed, and then told Lin Ruo to rest quickly, and he had to hurry tomorrow.

Lin Ruo nodded in response, and waited for Li Yan to leave, then took out the jade pendant he carried with him from his arms, rubbed it carefully, and muttered: "Sister, Sister Xi......"
