On September 23, at noon, the passenger ship Li Ling and others finally arrived at the Watergate Wharf outside Luoyang City. There were no less than a dozen merchant and cargo ships entering Beijing on the same route as them, and they also docked and entered the port one after another. This made the originally quiet pier immediately become lively and lively, and many people waiting on the shore approached.

Li Ling, who was looking at the shore in front of the boat, just swept the crowd, saw the familiar figures - his sister Li Yueer and Yang Qingxiao standing side by side, looking up at the river. Beside them, there were Uncle Tong Li Tong, and behind them were a few men with bulging bags on their waists and obviously wearing weapons. They should be the ones who were responsible for protecting the safety of the Li family.

Li Ling would not be surprised that Yue'er and the others could appear at the dock in time. Obviously, the Cao Gang sent back the news earlier. The family members who learned that he finally returned a year later would naturally come to greet him as soon as possible. This made Li Ling feel warm in his heart, and the most joyful smile appeared on his face.

"Why, did you see a family picking you up?" Sun Bi also came to his side and asked with a smile. Since telling Li Ling that night about his life experience, he has returned to his original appearance of being unsuspecting and polite, as if the pain and unwillingness that night had nothing to do with him.

Of course, Li Ling could not mention these things on his own initiative. That was the royal secret. Once the true transmission was about to go out, he would not have enough heads. At this time, he just nodded and smiled: "Yes, my sister and her family are waiting for me on the shore. What about you? Have you ever thought about going to my house to rest first?"

"No need, Dingxi Hou also has a mansion in the capital. Chengzhi and I live there. If you have time, you can look for us in Renxingfang, North City." Sun Bi replied with a smile.

Next, he and Xiao Chengzhi were going to the palace to deal with his mother's death, while Li Ling, as a court official, had his own affairs to deal with, so naturally it was impossible for him to stay together as before. Li Ling nodded with clarity: "Since that's the case, let's see you in two days and feel sad."

Sun Bi smiled bitterly: "After these days, no matter how sad things are, I will get used to them. Who can I blame? If I blame myself for being an unfilial son, I have not been able to stay with my bridesmaid, and even failed to meet her for the last time..."

While speaking, the boat under his feet suddenly shook, but it officially landed on the dock, tied up the cables, and then a boatman spread the long pedals to the shore. At that moment, several people stepped on the pedals and headed towards the shore. Before Li Ling could land, several people rushed over there. Yue'er ran to the front, his eyes were already locked on his brother, and he began to wave and shout from afar: "Brother...Brother..."

Li Ling smiled and met. As soon as the two approached, the little girl rushed into his arms with a cheerful cry, shouting: "Brother, you are back. I miss you all the time. I have been worried about you for a long time... Woo woo..." As he spoke, Yue'er suddenly cried again. Because of the pounce on Li Ling's arms, tears immediately smeared on his front, which really caught people off guard.

Li Ling also felt a little emotional in her heart, yes, it's been a whole year, and she left Yue'er alone in a strange place in the capital, which really scared her. So she reached out to her arms and patted her hard on her shoulders: "Yue'er, don't cry, brother isn't coming back? You're a big girl now, and this way will make people laugh."

As the saying goes, a girl changes eighteen years old. Although only one year apart, Yue'er's appearance and figure have changed a lot from the day when she parted. She is graceful and beautiful, and she really has the charm of a little girl in her boudoir. Especially when she matches her now, she looks even more charming and graceful, and full of girlishness.

After hearing this, the little girl who was already a beauty-loving girl stopped crying, looked at her brother with tears in her eyes, and sniffed: "I...will I make people laugh at this?"

"Yes, look, so many people are watching you." Li Ling said, and his eyes swept around. Yue'er followed him and saw many pedestrians and other people looking at him. This made her pretty face turn red immediately. Now she stopped crying, but hit her brother with her little fist: "Brother, it's all your fault..."

"Yes, yes, it's all my fault, it's all my fault." Li Ling nodded with a smile, took out a handkerchief from his arms, and wiped away all the tears from Yue'er's face in a doting manner. Yue'er did not hide, and just let her brother wipe her tears under the crowd's onlookers. At this time, she was not shy, but only joy.

Although my brother has been separated from me for a year, his feelings for me have not decreased at all.

Until then, several people behind came forward, and Xiao Chengzhi's voice rang out: "Wen Zhong, are these two your sisters?" As he said that, his eyes were scanning back and forth on Yue'er and Yang Qingxiao. The latter was smiling at the touching scene of his brother and sister reunion.

"Uh, this is Li Yue'er, this is Miss Yang, and I am my good friend." Li Ling hurriedly recommended them, introduced Xiao Chengzhi and Sun Bi to Yang Qingxiao to meet him. Finally, he looked at her and asked, "Are you okay this year?"

His relationship with Yang Qingxiao is actually quite subtle now. In a later generation, it is "Advanced AU, and the lover is not full", so it feels not so comfortable to get along with her any attitude.

Yang Qingxiao seemed quite calm, and had met several people with a smile, then said, "I have been living in the capital with Yue'er, wandering around, so it's certainly pretty good. By the way, your Zongheng Bookstore is doing very well now, and it's almost become the leading bookstore in the capital. Congratulations."

Li Ling smiled and said, "Qingxiao, you are also one of the bosses of Zongheng Bookstore, so I want to congratulate you at the same time."

After all, this place is not a place to speak, so Li Ling didn't ask much about the development of the bookstore, but just called it, even if it was over. Then the few people walked out together. Although there were not many people in the team, the men's strength and the women's beauty were quite eye-catching and attracted a lot of attention.

It was not until they left the dock that everyone was scattered. Sun Bi and Xiao Chengzhi took their men to the Dingxi Hou's residence in the capital, and the Yang brothers took their own way back to the Imperial City Office to handle work, while Li Ling and the others went home together.

It was not until this time that Yang Qingxiao discovered that two of them were a little strange. One was Li Moyun, who was very familiar with him, but he was obviously a little alienated compared to a year ago and did not come forward to talk to him and others. What was even more strange was a coma man he had been guarding. Looking at his pale face, it was obviously a serious injury.

Yang Qingxiao, who has sufficient experience in the martial arts world, immediately became concerned. Before he could go to his carriage, he looked at Li Ling, who was tightly held by Yue'er, and handed over it with a look. After thinking for a while, he said, "This Senior Shao was seriously injured. Although he had hired a doctor along the way, he couldn't wake him up without using any other methods. He could only bring him to the capital to see if there were any other ways. Moreover, his identity was a little sensitive, it would be best not to live at home. Do you have any secret and safe residence?"

"Is he?" Yang Qingxiao looked at Shao Qiuxi carefully and found that this person was also a man in the world, and must be extremely difficult.

Li Ling lowered his voice and said in a voice that only the three of them could hear: "Shao Qiuxi, have you ever heard of it?"

"Kunlun Sword King Shao Qiuxi..." Yang Qingxiao almost exclaimed, but the expression on her face had changed drastically. She really didn't expect that this seriously injured and unconscious guy was a peerless master in the world who was well-known and not under Uncle Mu.

Li Ling nodded: "He was also a member of the Luotian Sect. For various reasons, I must save him now."

Although he didn't say this clearly, Yang Qingxiao nodded without hesitation and said, "Well, there is a warehouse in the south of the city. You can place him there for the time being and you will never be disturbed."

"Well, thank you, so let's send him directly. Mo Yun, you can go there with you, and have some advice." Li Ling was not polite, and immediately turned to Li Mo Yun and said.

Li Moyun looked at them gratefully and nodded vigorously.

Then, the team was divided into two parts again, and one of the carriages carried Shao Qiuxi, who was still in a coma, and went to Nancheng, while Li Ling and the others continued to go home along the established road.

It was not until this time that Yue'er asked Li Ling curiously: "Brother, why is Brother Mo Yun weird? What does that sleepy uncle have to do with him?"

"They are masters and apprentices. If the master is injured, Mo Yun will naturally take good care of him." Li Ling answered while making conspiracy in his heart. Is it right or wrong to bring Shao Qiuxi to the capital?

Because the doctors who were invited along the way failed to wake him up, Li Ling felt that he should have sent someone to the capital and found a more skilled doctor or even an imperial doctor to treat his injuries. But his identity was so sensitive. Will this person send sheep into the tiger's mouth when he arrives in the capital, or even threaten himself? This is a problem.

What he cares more about is that his identity may be leaked. He believes that Sun Bi and Xiao Chengzhi should not reveal this secret to others. However, the Yang brothers, although they have helped him a lot this year and have promised not to report this matter to the top, it is difficult to guarantee that they will reveal the inside story to the Imperial City Department in order to seek credit.
