In the early morning, the countryside is quiet. In the light blue sky, sparse morning stars are still shining, as if to see off the upcoming sunrise. The breeze blows, taking away the silence of the night and bringing new hope.
On the green fields, dewdrops danced on the grass tips, like small crystals, sparkling in the sun. The stream is flowing gently, making a melodious sound, as if telling a beautiful story. In the distant woods, the birds began to sing happily, waking up the sleeping earth and kicking off a new day.
Suddenly, a ray of golden light broke out from the east and reflected on the earth, bringing warmth and vitality to the world. Everything is slowly waking up, and this is a new beginning.
Luo Jinyu got off the horse and tied the reins to a tree nearby. He took a deep breath, as if to carve the tranquility of the morning into his heart. His eyes crossed the fields and fell on the rising sun in the distance. It was a beautiful picture, full of hope and vitality.
He unsaddled his horse, took out a map, and studied it carefully. He knew that he was about to embark on an unknown journey. In this new day, he needs to find a way to his destination, a way that can take him to a wider world.
He put away the map, remounted his horse, and looked forward firmly. He knew that this was his destiny and his responsibility. He couldn't back down, couldn't give up. He must bravely face the unknown and meet new challenges. .
Luo Jinyu knew in his heart that he could not enter the city arrogantly at this time, but had to wait until dark. He decided to rest in the nearby woods and wait for nightfall.
He rode into a quiet woods. The leaves rustle in the breeze, like the whisper of nature. Luo Jinyu found a hidden place, tied the horse aside, and leaned against a big tree, closing his eyes to relax.
Gradually, the sky began to darken. Luo Jinyu took out some dry food and water from his bag, ate something briefly, and drank a few sips of water to keep himself strong.
As night fell, Luo Jinyu put on black clothes and a hat to cover her face. He took the horse and quietly left the woods and walked toward the city.
Luo Jinyu knew in his heart that his return to Mingjing City must not be discovered by anyone. He was well aware of the complexity of the capital, and he also knew that there were countless eyes staring at him. He cannot let himself become the target of others and cannot let his whereabouts be exposed.
He walked carefully through the night, avoiding the patrolling soldiers one after another. His heartbeat echoed in the silent night, and every beat reminded him to be careful and cautious.
When he finally saw the walls of Mingjing City, he breathed a sigh of relief. But at the same time, he also knew that greater challenges were waiting for him. He needs to find a safe way into the city, and he also needs to find the people he needs in the city.
Standing outside the city wall, looking at the guards at the door, Luo Jinyu was thinking about how to enter the city. He observed the changing time of the guards and noticed that every hour, the guards would change the guard. This provided him with an opportunity.
When the guard changed, he quickly led the horse to the city gate. His heartbeat accelerated, and he took every step cautiously, as if he was walking on thin ice for fear of breaking. The guards in front of the city gate were handing over. They were focused on their conversations and did not notice the figure in black robes.
Luo Jinyu took advantage of this opportunity and quickly walked through the city gate. He felt the cold wind whistling behind him, as if it was a warning voice, urging him to speed up his pace. As soon as he entered the city, he immediately turned into a narrow alley. He finally stopped to breathe until he was sure that he was not discovered.
Luo Jinyu took a deep breath in the air of Mingjing City, which was familiar yet unfamiliar. He walked through the night and shuttled through the bustling streets, as if he had merged with the dark wave.
His destination - the old house of the Luo family, is located in the northeast corner of the city, close to the moat.
He put on ordinary clothes and a hat, trying to hide himself in the crowd. Every step was taken carefully, avoiding patrolling soldiers and night pedestrians. When passing by a familiar grocery store, he bought a hat and covered half of his face.
Finally, he came to the door of the Luo family's old house. It was an old house, and its stone door bore witness to the passage of time. He gently pushed the door open, as if pushing open a sealed memory. The moonlight shines in the yard, everything is as before. He saw an old locust tree, which he used to climb up and play in when he was a child. Today it is still flourishing and seems to be welcoming his return.
Luo Jinyu had just entered for a while when suddenly a black shadow jumped down from the eaves and landed in the yard. He was startled and immediately looked at the black shadow warily. It was a man wearing night clothes, with a black mask on his face, only revealing a pair of bright eyes.
who? Luo Jinyu shouted in a low voice while clenching the dagger in his hand.
The man did not answer, but launched an attack instantly, rushing towards Luo Jinyu like a gust of wind. The soldiers met in close contact, making a clear sound of metal collision. The two of them fought in the moonlight, their bodies moving so fast that it was dizzying to see.
Luo Jinyu's heart trembled. He saw that this man's martial arts was not weak and he was definitely a master. He did not dare to neglect and went all out to deal with the man's attack. At the same time, he is also looking for opportunities to uncover the man's mask and see his true identity.
Just when he was about to attack, the man's mask suddenly fell off, and the moonlight shone on that familiar face. Luo Jinyu was stunned for a moment and saw the man's appearance clearly.
That was his best friend he hadn't seen for many years and his former right-hand man—Yang Feiyun.
Yang Feiyun? Luo Jinyu shouted in a low voice, the vigilance in his eyes turning into surprise.
Yang Feiyun smiled slightly and withdrew the attack. He patted Luo Jinyu on the shoulder and knew you were back, but he didn't expect it to be quite fast.
The nervousness in Luo Jinyu's heart disappeared, replaced by the joy of reunion. He held Yang Feiyun's hand tightly, kid, why are you here?
protect you. Yang Feiyun said simply, with a firm light shining in his eyes.
Luo Jinyu smiled and punched his shoulder, saying: Do I still need your protection?
Yang Feiyun looked at him with determination in his eyes, "I will protect you no matter when."
Luo Jinyu felt warm in his heart. He knew that Yang Feiyun was a man who kept his word. He patted Yang Feiyun on the shoulder, "Good brother, things are a little tricky when I come back this time. I need your help."
The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they had returned to the days when they fought side by side.
"General, I understand your purpose of coming back this time. Is it because of Madam?
When I lost her news before, I knew you would come back soon, but what I didn't expect was that you would come back so soon. "
Luo Jinyu smiled. He knew Yang Feiyun's strength. He must have established quite a lot of influence in the world in the past few years.
A picture appeared in his mind: Yang Feiyun stood on the high eaves, overlooking the streets below, his eyes sharp. His men are distributed in every corner, always paying attention to the developments in Mingjing City.
Your power cannot be underestimated. Luo Jinyu sighed.
Yang Feiyun smiled slightly, in order to protect you, I have to strengthen myself.
Luo Jinyu was moved in his heart. He knew that Yang Feiyun had paid a lot for him. He patted Yang Feiyun on the shoulder, "Good brother, things are a little tricky when I come back this time. I need your help."
Yang Feiyun pondered for a moment and said: Okay, I will send someone to find out more about Madam. Don't worry, as long as she is still in Minjing City, she will be found.
Luo Jinyu looked at Yang Feiyun's firm eyes, and a warmth surged in his heart. he knows,
As long as Yang Feiyun is around, he has someone to rely on.
The two discussed for a while, and Luo Jinyu told Yang Feiyun his plan. Yang Feiyun nodded and agreed.
I'll make arrangements right away. Yang Feiyun said, turned around and prepared to leave.
Luo Jinyu looked at his back with emotion in his heart. He knew that this time, he and Yang Feiyun would fight side by side again.
Before Yang Feiyun left, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at Luo Jinyu.
General, you have been traveling all the way. Do you want to rest at my place for one night, or give you a comfortable place to stay? he asked gently, concern in his eyes.
Luo Jinyu smiled slightly and shook his head, "No need. I am used to walking around in the city to understand what is going on in Mingjing City." I've already troubled you a lot tonight, so I won't bother you anymore.
After hearing this, Yang Feiyun did not insist, but just said: Well, you must be careful. If you need anything, come to me.
Luo Jinyu nodded in agreement and watched Yang Feiyun disappear into the night. He took a deep breath and felt the air of Mingjing City. It's full of unfamiliar atmosphere, but with a hint of familiar warmth. He clenched his fists, his heart filled with determination and hope. He knew that this time, he and Yang Feiyun would be able to find the missing person and solve all the mysteries.
After he left, Luo Jinyu looked back and forth in the Luo family's old house.
The moonlight shines in the courtyard paved with bluestones, reflecting the mottled shadows of the trees. Everywhere he looked, there were familiar yet unfamiliar sights. This place used to be his home, but now it has become strange and lonely.
He walked to the stone table in the courtyard and sat down. The teapot on the table was still steaming, as if Yang Feiyun had just made tea. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The aroma of tea overflowed with a touch of bitterness.
The smell of this tea made his mind wander back to many years ago.
At that time, he and Yang Feiyun often drank tea and discussed swords here, chatting about everything. At that time, they were young and energetic and ambitious. Nowadays, times have changed and people and things have changed, but the friendship remains the same.
