Suzhou, an important town in the south of the Great Song Dynasty, is prosperous and beautiful, as the so-called "there is heaven above, there is Suzhou and Hangzhou below", the Su in this sentence refers to Suzhou. The Beijing-Hangzhou Canal passes through the city, forming a unique scenery in the south.

On the canal, the wooden window of a passenger ship suddenly opened. Inside, a pair of thief's eyes constantly scanned the scenery outside.

"I can't pull my eyes out after looking at it for a while." Lin Xi sat in the cabin and drank tea leisurely, and the window was not attractive to him.

"There's a river in the city, but it's the first time I've seen it!"

"It's a specialty of the South. You're still young, so maybe you'll be able to see something more unique in the future. ”

"Hey, you're still talking about me, you're not a few years older than me." Yanshou stretched out a finger and slapped Lin Xi's head.

"So, we're all in this together." Lin Xi smiled softly at Yanshou.

Yanshou didn't speak, but gently put his hand on Lin Xi's hand.

"The boat stopped, go." Lin Xi held Yanshou's hand and took her off the boat.

With the identity document and waist card they got last time, the two of them have cover, at least they don't have to hide in the shadows secretly.

Lin Xi looked around, there were a few people on the ferry who were talking about something with the people around them, Lin Xi didn't pay attention very carefully, and vaguely heard something like "World Alliance", "Joining the Alliance" or something, Lin Xi was not interested, lowered his head and pulled his life extension to prepare to walk out of the ferry quickly.

Lin Xi's shoulder was suddenly patted, and Lin Xi couldn't help but turn his head, but it was a face that was extremely familiar to him.

"Sister?" Her face looked a little old, but Lin Xi's memory was still clear, and she recognized it at a glance.

"It's been ten years, it's hard for you to remember me."

"My sister took such good care of me when I was a child, how dare I forget it."

"This is not the place to talk, go."

As he walked, he asked in a low voice, "Lin Xi, who is she?" ”

Lin Xi whispered in a low voice as she walked: "I forgot to tell you, she is Cao Ran, the eldest daughter of my master Cao Bin, when I was a child, I often went to my master's house, and she was very good to me, so I called her sister." ”

The place where they returned together was Cao Bin's mansion. As soon as he entered the hall, Cao Ran looked at the child who used to take care of himself, and now he is a young man in his twenties, and he couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

"Xiao Lin Xi has grown up, and he is no longer the little heel he used to be, and he can be on his own. Dad also briefly told me about your situation in the past ten years, running around, hard work for you. ”

"It's not hard, as long as you can clear your grievances and return to the Great Song Dynasty one day, even if you suffer some grievances, it's worth it."

"Xiaolin, who is this girl next to you, tell me about my sister?"

"Her surname is Zhang, yes, my wife."

Cao Ran hid his face and chuckled, "You kid, you always don't dare to look into my eyes when you lie." Don't worry, it's no outsider, it doesn't matter to be honest. Cao Ran saw that Lin Xi was lying in a weak heart, and whispered in a low voice.

"My name is Yelu Yanshou, and I am from Liao." When Lin Xi was still struggling, Yanshou had already told Cao Ran first.

"Little girl, are you the little princess of Liao?"

"It's me."

"Little girl, you are straightforward, my sister likes it." Cao Ran touched Yanshou's face, with a loving face, as if looking at his relatives. However, it is not surprising that Cao Ran is nearly thirty years old, her husband died in battle, and Lin Xi and Yanshou are just like her younger brothers and sisters at this age.

"Sister, how did you know I was coming? What about teachers? ”

"I didn't know. Daddy's people have heard of your defection from the border, and we've been worried about you. Today, my father was summoned to the palace, and I really didn't have an appetite to eat, so I thought about going out for a walk, who would think...... Kobayashi, why are you back? ”

"Sister, I came here looking for a clue, a note left by Wei Qingyuan, we guess it is related to the treasure of Yuguan left by the Northern Dynasty, which mentions Suzhou."

"Wei Qingyuan? Is that the master of tricks? ”

"Yes, she is still an orphan of the Northern Dynasty and a descendant of the Xianbei Tuoba clan."

"It's true that I've never heard any rumors of treasures in Suzhou, but something strange has happened in Suzhou recently."

"What's the matter?"

"A lot of people have disappeared in Suzhou recently, no one is alive, no one is dead, no body is missing, and the government has no clues."

"Missing persons?"

"Yes, as far as I know, there are dozens of people who have disappeared before and after."

"With such a big case, the government can't even find a clue?"

"Yes, I've been telling the people in the house recently to go out together as much as possible."

"Missing persons...... Sister, is there a world alliance in Suzhou? ”

Cao Ran didn't know why Lin Xi suddenly asked about the Tianxia League, "Yes, the Tianxia Alliance is in the north of Suzhou." ”

"Has the Tianxia Alliance been recruiting martial arts people recently?"

"How do you know?"

Yanshou suddenly lit up: "Lin Xi, do you mean that the missing person was done by this world alliance?" ”

"I didn't say that, just speculation. When I was at the ferry, I heard the news that the Tianxia Alliance was recruiting talents, so I guessed it. ”

Cao Ran said again: "I don't know much about this Tianxia Alliance, I only know that the leader of the Tianxia Alliance is called Li Xi, and his power is not small, and he is not a person to mess with. ”

"Thank you, sister, I'm going to go to the Tianxia Alliance to investigate."

"Okay, you can come to me anytime if you need to."

"Sister, goodbye."

It wasn't until Lin Xi's figure disappeared on the street that Cao Ran closed the door, and his heart was empty.

After a while, Cao Ran slowly walked to Cao Bin's room with a kettle.

"Daddy, get up and drink saliva." Cao Bin was lying in the house, and Cao Ran helped him up.

"Lin Xi, he's gone?"

"Well, let's go."

"Ahem, cough, cough......" Suddenly, Cao Bin grabbed the curtain and coughed violently.

"Dad, drink some water."

After swallowing a mouthful of water, Cao Bin was considered better.

"Dad, are you going to hide this illness from Lin Xi?"

“…… Don't tell him that he's a fugitive now, don't let him worry anymore. ”

Cao Ran didn't say anything more, but he was still a little worried about Lin Xi in his heart.
