As the sun set, a golden glow sprinkled on the earth, and behind Luo Jinyu was a team of outstanding iron riders and energetic spirits.

They were marching slowly in the direction of the border city, and the sound of horses' hooves beat like a drum, striking the earth again and again, as if to speak of their unwavering determination.

Luo Jinyu's eyebrows were full of determination and perseverance, and his eyes were like cold stars, shooting straight forward through the saddle and into the distance.

His hand, firmly gripping the reins, made his figure stand exceptionally tall and admirable in the afterglow of the setting sun.

As far as they looked, the outline of the border city gradually emerged.

When Luo Jinyu walked into the city gate, the atmosphere instantly changed.

The guards on both sides of the gate, dressed in delicate armor, have serious faces, their eyes are like torches, and the spears in their hands are as hard as iron, pointing straight to the sky, symbolizing protection and determination.

However, when Luo Jinyu's figure appeared in their sight, a look of respect appeared on the faces of these guards, and they bowed their heads in unison, greeting Luo Jinyu's arrival with the most respectful courtesy, their movements were uniform, like a well-trained army, although silent, it was full of strength and majesty.

The awe and respect in the eyes of these guards was not due to simple obedience, but from their deep admiration for Luo Jinyu.

In the eyes of the guards, Luo Jinyu is their pride and their guardian.

They revere him and trust him, and in their hearts, as long as Luo Jinyu is there, their city is invincible and fearless.

Luo Jinyu and his party walked through the city gate, and behind them, those guards still maintained admiring eyes, quietly watching them go away.

He sat on a tall horse and looked at the sides of the street, and the numerous pedestrians looked at them, waving their hands and welcoming them back.

However, in the crowd, he didn't see the figure that he remembered in his heart.

The corners of Luo Jinyu's mouth twitched slightly, and he thought that it was just because he didn't want to tell her when he would come back.

It's not that I don't want her to greet me, but I'm afraid that she will work too hard.

At this time, Shu Zhihan and Green Lotus sat in the crowded teahouse, quietly sipping mellow afternoon tea.

The sunlight shines through the dust and casts dappled light and shadows on the wooden windows, bringing a sense of tranquility and serenity to this corner.

In the teahouse, the sound of boiling water and the sound of tea being washed into the cup by the teapot are intertwined, and Shu Zhihan and Lu Lotus sit on the second floor of the teahouse, from which you can see the bustling streets and pedestrians coming and going.

While sipping tea, the two chatted in a low voice about the new things in the city in recent days.

Shu Zhihan overlooks the street below.

On weekdays, the street is bustling with people, but today it is surprisingly lively. She couldn't help but poke her head out to find out.

Shu Zhihan quietly watched the crowd on the street, their actions were surprisingly consistent, and they all seemed to be moving in the same direction. She saw people crowding around, like an invisible torrent drawing them to the same point.

She turned to Green Lotus, with doubts and uneasiness in her eyes, "Green Lotus, look at those people, are they squeezing over there?" She points people in the direction they are moving and asks questions.

Green Lotus followed Shu Zhihan's guidance, with a surprised and confused expression on her face, "It seems that yes, Zhihan, I don't know what's going on, but I can go and inquire."

Shu Zhihan watched Green Lotus disappear into the crowd soon after going downstairs, while she was still in place, continuing to watch this strange scene.

The streets are crowded with pedestrians, as if they are being pulled forward by an invisible force.

Shu Zhihan's heart was full of confusion and incomprehension, she didn't know what this scene meant, and she didn't know what would happen next.

It's an instinctive reaction to the unknown, facing an uncertain situation, however, she knows that only by waiting for the green lotus to bring back the news can she unravel the mystery.

Finally, the green lotus is back

, her expression was serious, and her eyes flashed with nervousness.

"Zhihan, I heard something big," Green Lotus said breathlessly, "Let's go, you go down with me first."

Shu Zhihan gasped, a little unsure of what the situation was.

"No, what's going on, where are you going to take me?"

Green Lotus didn't dare to drag her too fast, but she was still a little anxious in her heart.

"You come with me first, and you'll find out later, and I'll tell you, it's definitely a super big surprise."

Green Lotus and Shu Zhihan were pushed in the crowd, they tried to keep their position and not be swallowed up by the crowd around them, and they held each other's hands tightly to keep in touch through the hustle and bustle.

They pushed through the crowd, and the green lotus pulled Shu Zhihan hard to keep up with her pace.

After a difficult period of crowding, Green Lotus and Shu Zhihan finally squeezed to the front of the crowd.

The two of them stood at the front, looking at the front.

Green Lotus looked at the look on her face, and couldn't help but want to laugh a little in her heart.

Shu Zhihan saw a group of people and horses coming from a distance, the leader figure was tall and straight, as if it was a mountain peak under the sun, his riding steps were firm and powerful, and every blow of the horse's hooves was like knocking on the heart of the earth.

His hair, long black fluttering in the wind, was in harmony with the sky behind him.

There was an authority in that hair, an indescribable charm.

As the team got closer and closer, Shu Zhihan's heart beat faster and faster.

Just because she knew that the person who led the way, the person who made her heart beat faster, was Luo Jinyu. The person she'd missed for a long time.

He...... He's back. Shu Zhihan's heart was in a mess, she didn't know what she should do, she just stood there blankly, watching him get closer and closer.

Green Lotus turned to look at Shu Zhihan and found that her face was full of nervousness.

She gently touched Shu Zhihan with her arm, "What are you still thinking, can't you go over?"

"I'm a little nervous, I don't even know why she came back all of a sudden."

Lu He also sighed helplessly when he looked at her like this, and then waved his hands vigorously and shouted loudly, "Luo Jinyu."

All the people around were shouting "General", and it was really not easy for one person's voice to drown out this group.

Luo Jinyu was moving forward steadily, his mind was immersed in his own world, and he didn't pay too much attention to the sounds around him.

However, a somewhat familiar voice pierced the silence and called out his name, he paused slightly, subconsciously turned his head to look, and in an instant, his steps stopped.

He saw Green Lotus waving vigorously at him, and the woman standing next to her was Shu Zhihan, who he had been thinking about in his heart.

She was dressed in a light dress, with a hint of blush on her delicate face, like a lotus flower budding in the morning light, quiet and beautiful, her eyes flashed with brilliance, like a starry night sky, deeply attracted him....

When all the people present saw this scene, they couldn't help but shudder in their hearts, and their eyes all looked at the green lotus.

Everyone thought that when it was over, this person's courage was really not small, and he dared to call the general by his name.

At this time, everyone saw Luo Jinyu jump off the horse directly and throw the reins to Meng Haowen.

Everyone watched Luo Jinyu slowly walk towards the girl who called his name just now.

One by one, they couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for this girl, thinking that this woman was really going to be finished.

What no one expected was that Luo Jinyu walked directly in front of them, but his eyes were on Shu Zhihan beside Lu He.

Shu Zhihan stood in place, watching Luo Jinyu walking towards her, her heart involuntarily began to flutter and jump, she felt a little nervous, and even a little afraid to meet his gaze.

Luo Jinyu's

Every step seemed to be striking Shu Zhihan's heartstrings, making her unable to calm down, she tried to control her heartbeat, but the beating seemed to have a life of its own, constantly beating in her chest.

She quietly took a deep breath, trying to calm her emotions, but the mixed emotions of anticipation, nervousness, and sweetness made her heart beat even harder.

All her senses seemed to be tuned to the highest sensitivity, whether it was the footsteps of Luo Jinyu heard in her ears or every smile she saw in her eyes, it seemed to stimulate her heartbeat.

Shu Zhihan could almost feel her heart beating faster, and his proximity made her so nervous and excited.

When Luo Jinyu walked in front of her, he looked at her and smiled and said, "Why did you come here?"

"I...... I was drinking tea with Green Lotus here just now, and when I saw everyone running this way, I came over to take a look."

Luo Jinyu glanced at the green lotus beside him, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He didn't understand why the two of them would meet for tea together, and the doubts in his heart really wanted to be answered.

But I heard Green Lotus say, "Okay, don't be so surprised, let's talk about it when I go back, people, I'll leave it to you first, and I'll go back by myself."

As soon as Green Lotus finished speaking, he left the crowd.

Luo Jinyu glanced at Shu Zhihan and asked softly, "Are you tired from standing for so long?"

Shu Zhihan shook her head gently, "I'm not tired."

As soon as the words fell, Luo Jinyu bent down slightly and directly picked her up.

Everyone present couldn't help but feel very surprised when they saw this scene, and they couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

"Oh, so many people are watching, let me go."

Shu Zhihan felt a little shy, but Luo Jinyu didn't mean to put her down, and directly hugged her and sent her to the horse.

After they left, they were drowned out by a burst of chatter.
