missing

Cousin Zou Jing's problem is almost resolved, and Tang Yuelin plans to return to Beijing after her cousin gets married.

Lin Yi naturally accompanied Tang Yuelin here. As for the matters in the capital, Lin Yi had already arranged them early in the morning.

He stayed at Zou's house for a while.

This time, Lin Yi took a month off. He had been working like a slave for Song Yizhou for so long, so of course he wouldn't stop him.

However, when Tang Yuelin stayed in Wenzhou with Zou Jing until her wedding, and the two were preparing to return to Beijing, Lin Yan actually came.

When seeing Lin Yan, Lin Yi was surprised: "Sister, why are you here?"

After saying that, he joked, "Are you tired of staying in the capital?"

Lin Yan was not in the mood to joke with Lin Yi, so he said directly: "Old Zhao is missing."

"What? Why did Old Zhao disappear? Could it be that he was looking for some medicinal herbs again? I just didn't contact him anymore." Lin Yi put away his joking thoughts and said seriously.

'This time is different'

Old Zhao likes to travel around the world to find some rare medicinal herbs or some difficult-to-treat patients.

Six months ago, Lao Zhao left the Valley of Divine Doctors to travel, but this time he did not bring his medicine boy with him.

Old Zhao has never married or had children. In his eyes, he has long regarded Lin Yan and his sister, Xie Zhou, and his little apprentice Zhong Ningning as his own children.

Therefore, every year when Lao Zhao went out to travel, he would write a letter to inform them of each place he arrived at. Of course, Xie Zhou was not included, after all, he had disappeared eight hundred years ago.

Sometimes, Lao Zhao would be so immersed in the treatment process that he would forget everything else and it was common for him not to write a letter to report.

But three months ago, there was no news from Lao Zhao. Lin Yan realized something was wrong and immediately wrote a letter to the place where Lao Zhao last wrote a letter.

But there was no reply.

Lin Yan suspected that Lao Zhao was in danger, so he immediately sent someone to check.

It was finally discovered that the last place Lao Zhao was seen was Wenzhou. After getting the news, Lin Yan rushed over immediately.

The two men frowned and kept thinking about how to find Lao Zhao.

Tang Yuelin had gone out early in the morning and just came back. As soon as she came back, she heard someone who claimed to be Lin Yi's sister coming to the house to look for Lin Yi.

Thinking that nothing happened at this time in her previous life, Tang Yuelin wondered why Lin Yan came back at this time.

As he was thinking, he walked towards Lin Yi and saw that the two of them had frowns on their faces.

Tang Yuelin walked over and greeted Lin Yan, then asked with concern: "It seems that you two are in a bad mood, is there something wrong?"

When Lin Yi saw Tang Yuelin coming over, he relaxed his brows and said casually, "It's nothing, don't worry."

When Lin Yan saw the affection between the two, he knew that Lin Yi had succeeded.

Counting it up, this was the third time she and Miss Tang met.

I was in a hurry the first two times and didn't take a closer look at Miss Tang. But now, I see that Tang Yuelin's demeanor and manners reveal the demeanor of a lady from a noble family. She is so gentle and kind, and she can't be related to Lin Yi at all.

After all these years, I never realized that Lin Yi could attract Miss Tang so much. Is this girl dazzled, or did Lin Yi give her some kind of love potion?

Seeing that Lin Yan kept staring at Tang Yuelin and glanced at himself from time to time, Lin Yi could guess what his sister was thinking with his toes.

"Ahem" Lin Yi tried to remind Lin Yan who was immersed in his own world.

Lin Yan, who had come to his senses, looked at Lin Yi with disgust, touched his nose, and took off the dagger from his waist.

He handed it to Tang Yuelin and said, "You came here in a hurry and didn't bring any gifts, so this dagger is for you. Don't despise it."

Lin Yan didn't have any other hobbies except that he liked to give people daggers, especially the kind that looked good on the outside but could cut through iron like mud on the inside. They were both beautiful and could be used for self-defense.

Tang Yuelin accepted it generously and thanked him.

I don’t know if it was Lin Yan’s illusion, but from the first time she met Tang Yuelin until now, she always felt that Tang Yuelin’s eyes were as if she was looking at a familiar stranger.

When I looked at it carefully again, the feeling disappeared again.

Tang Yuelin actually followed Lin Yan for half a year when she was a ghost. She didn't know what Lin Yan was like now, but she had seen what Lin Yan would be like ten years later.

Ten years later, Lin Yan was serious and his body seemed to be covered with a layer of ice, making people afraid to approach him. But now, although Lin Yan exudes a calm aura, he is also full of life.

Since Tang Yuelin couldn't tell her about her past life, she couldn't let her discover that something was wrong with her, otherwise it would be difficult to explain.

Tang Yuelin asked the two of them, "If anything happens, my uncle has a lot of connections in Wenzhou and may be able to help you."

Lin Yi looked at Lin Yan, wanting to ask her opinion.

Of course Lin Yi trusts Tang Yuelin, but Lin Yan is not familiar with Yuelin, so whether to tell Tang Yuelin about Lao Zhao depends on his sister's opinion.

Lin Yan pondered for a moment, thinking that what Tang Yuelin said made sense, and then he said, "The elder in the family likes to travel and knows some medical skills. I haven't heard from him for a while, and I'm worried that he is in danger."

Their elders were doctors, and based on these two points alone, Tang Yuelin guessed who this person was, the world-famous Doctor Zhao.

It was then that Tang Yuelin remembered that Lin Yi's notes mentioned the disappearance of Doctor Zhao, which actually happened during this period.

But the last news about Doctor Zhao was ten years later, and it was related to Zhong Ningning's death.

"What does that have to do with Wenzhou?" Tang Yuelin wondered.

"The last time I heard from him was in Wenzhou. He is a doctor and I heard that he saved someone here," Lin Yan replied.

If Tang Yuelin's guess was correct, Doctor Zhao was captured by Gu Shi and his men this time, and the person who captured him must be Zhao Qing.

Just when she was worrying about how to catch Zhao Qing, the things he did in his previous life were enough for Tang Yuelin to kill him a thousand times.

How can she make Lin Yan and the others find out that Zhao Qing is the one who is responsible? Tang Yuelin is very distressed because she cannot say it directly.

"Let's go to the place where Lao Zhao was last seen. There must be clues there."

According to her people, Lao Zhao saved someone in this clinic and then disappeared without a trace.

"I want to go too. Maybe I can help," Tang Yuelin said hurriedly.

Lin Yan nodded, as a sign of agreement.

Several people came to the clinic, but it had turned into a teahouse.

Lin Yan asked the teahouse owner: "Isn't this a clinic? Why did it become a teahouse?"

"This was originally a clinic, but the owner, Doctor Zhang, suddenly disappeared three months ago. Later, his body was found," said the teahouse owner.

Lin Yan frowned. Three months, what a coincidence.

"Doctor Zhang is a kind person, I didn't expect something like this to happen," sighed the teahouse owner.

"The owner of this clinic passed away, why did you take over this clinic?" Lin Yi asked the key question.

"It was Doctor Zhang's son, Zhang Bai. I hadn't seen him for a month after Doctor Zhang's death. He came to me half a month ago. I happened to be looking for a shop at that time, so I bought this clinic."

"Do you know where he is now?"

The teahouse owner shook his head and said, "I haven't seen him since that time."

"But if you want to find him, you can go to Doctor Zhang's hometown."

"Where?" several people asked in unison.

In Lingquan County

After asking questions, they walked out of the teahouse and started discussing.

"I've heard about Doctor Zhang in the clinic. My uncle should know more about it. I'll go back and ask him," said Tang Yuelin.

"Okay, then you go back first," Lin Yi said.

After watching Tang Yuelin leave, Lin Yi and Lin Yan looked at each other and both saw what the other was thinking, which was to go to Lingquan County.

Lingquan County is a small county in Wenzhou, located in a remote area.

The two asked about Doctor Zhang and his son in Lingquan County, but no one had seen Zhang Bai.

Came to the place where Dr. Zhang used to live.

When he thought he would get nothing, Lin Yi found some silver under a rice jar.

There were signs of movement here. The two looked at each other and realized that someone had been there.

With a bang, a group of masked men came down from the roof and surrounded Lin Yan and Lin Yi.

Without Lin Yan's reminder, Lin Yi decisively hid in the cabinet.

Lin Yan drew his sword and started fighting with them.

In less than half an incense stick of time, except for a few who were knocked unconscious by Lin Yan, the other masked men dropped their smoke balls and retreated.

Lin Yan did not chase after them, and the few people left behind all committed suicide by biting themselves with poison.

Lin Yi heard no more noise outside, so he walked out and looked at the people lying on the ground, looking at Lin Yan in confusion.

"They didn't kill us, they just came to test our background," Lin Yan replied.

Lin Yan squatted down and said, "Let's see if there are any clues on these people."

Lin Yi was sharp-eyed and saw the wound on Lin Yan's arm, so he quickly grabbed Lin Yan and said, "Sister, you are injured."

"It's nothing. I did it on purpose. They wanted to spy on us, so of course we can't let them succeed," Lin Yan explained as he pulled his hand away.

"You can't let yourself get hurt. How can you act like that?" Lin Yi said helplessly.

Lin Yi pulled Lin Yan to sit on the couch, took out some healing medicine and stuffed it into Lin Yan's wound, then tore off a piece of cloth to wrap it up.

"Sister, I know you've been in the martial arts world for a long time, often fighting and killing, but you can't just not care about your own health," Lin Yi frowned.

"Why are you being so fussy? This little injury is nothing serious."

After the wound was bandaged, Lin Yan continued to observe the people lying on the ground.

"The killers in the underworld can't even be ranked. They are just bought casually by the other party," Lin Yan concluded.

After a busy day without finding any useful clues, Lin Yi said, "Let's go back first and talk about it tomorrow."

Lin Yan nodded, stood up and left with Lin Yi.

In Yanshan, Wenzhou, the masked man who assassinated Lin Yan came here and knelt down to the masked man: "Master, Lin Yi did not bring any guards this time. The woman who followed him has some kung fu skills, but her strength is average and she is injured."

"Got it, please step back."

Tang Yuelin guessed correctly that the one who captured Doctor Zhao was Zhao Qing.

Zhao Qing's original intention was to win the martial arts competition and marry into the Zou family.

The Zou family's immense wealth made them the perfect place to expand their power, but they never imagined that some blind person drugged the tea he drank, causing him to make a fool of himself in the Zou family.

He thought someone had discovered his identity and was deliberately trying to sabotage his plans.

It turned out that it was Tang Yuelin, the daughter of Marquis Zhongyi, who drugged her cousin in order to make her cousin be with her beloved.

Zhao Qing was angry but couldn't vent it. He wanted to kill Tang Yuelin to vent his anger, but because of her identity, killing her would attract people from the capital to investigate, so he had no choice but to swallow his anger.

What Zhao Qing didn't expect was that Tang Yuelin actually attracted Lin Yi, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple.

Since Lin Yi came, Zhao Qing didn't dare to show up in Wenzhou easily, so as not to arouse the other party's suspicion.

It was not until they found Doctor Zhang from the clinic that Zhao Qing realized that he was related to Doctor Zhao.

The purpose of sending people this time was to test the other party. He did not dare to touch Lin Yi easily. After all, killing an imperial official was more troublesome than killing the daughter of a marquis.
