In the early morning suburbs, it was quiet. In the pale blue sky, the sparse morning star is still twinkling, as if to see off the upcoming sunrise. The breeze swept away, taking away the silence of the night and bringing new hope.

On the green fields, dewdrops jumped on the tips of the grass, like tiny crystals, sparkling in the sun. The creek is flowing gently and making a melodious sound, as if telling a beautiful story. In the woods in the distance, birds begin to sing merrily, waking up the sleeping earth and starting a new day.

Suddenly, a ray of golden light broke out from the east and shone on the earth, bringing warmth and vitality to this world. Everything is slowly waking up, and it's a fresh beginning.

Luo Jinyu got off his horse and tied the reins to a nearby tree. He took a deep breath, as if to carve the peace of the morning into his heart. His gaze crossed the field and fell on the rising sun in the distance, a beautiful picture, full of hope and life.

He unsaddled his horse, took out a map, and studied it carefully. He knew he was about to embark on an unknown journey. In this new day, he needs to find a path to his destination, a path that will lead him to a wider world.

He put the map away, got back on his horse, and looked firmly ahead. He knew that it was his destiny and his responsibility. He can't back down, he can't give up. He has to face the unknown bravely and meet new challenges.

Luo Jinyu knew in his heart that he couldn't swagger into the city at this time, and he still had to wait until it was dark. He decided to rest in the nearby woods and wait for nightfall.

He rode into a secluded wood. The leaves rustle in the breeze, as if whispering to nature. Luo Jinyu found a hidden place and tied the horse to the side, while he leaned against a big tree and closed his eyes to recuperate.

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.

When night fell, Luo Jinyu changed into black clothes and put on a hat to cover his face. He led his horse and quietly left the woods and walked into the city.

Luo Jinyu knew in his heart that his return to Mingjing City this time would never be discovered. He knew the complexity of the capital, and he also knew that there were countless eyes staring at him. He can't let himself be the target of others, he can't let his whereabouts be exposed.

He cautiously navigated through the night, avoiding bands of patrolling soldiers. His heartbeat echoed in the silent night, each beating reminding him to be careful, to be cautious.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he finally saw the walls of Ming Jingcheng. But at the same time, he also knew that greater challenges awaited him. He needed to find a safe way into the city, and he needed to find the people he needed in the city.

Standing outside the city wall, looking at the guards at the door, Luo Jinyu thought about a way to enter the city. He observed the changing of the guard and noticed that every other hour, the guards would change the guard. This provided him with an opportunity.

When the guard changed, he quickly led his horse to the city gate. His heart was beating faster, and every step was cautious, as if he was walking on thin ice, for fear of breaking. The guards in front of the city gate were handing over, their attention focused on each other's conversation, and they did not notice the figure in black robes.

Luo Jinyu took advantage of this opportunity and walked quickly through the city gate. He felt the cold wind whistling behind him, as if it were a warning voice, urging him to speed up his pace. As soon as he entered the city, he immediately turned into a narrow alley, and it was not until he was sure that he had not been spotted that he finally stopped to catch his breath.

Luo Jinyu took a deep breath in the air of Mingjing City, familiar and unfamiliar. He walked through the bustling streets and alleys in the night, as if blending into the dark waves.

His destination, the old house of the Luo family, is located in the northeast corner of the city, near the moat.

He changed into ordinary clothes, put on a hat, and tried to hide himself in the crowd. Walk carefully at every step, avoiding patrolling soldiers and pedestrians at night. Passing by a familiar grocery store, he bought a hat to cover half of his face.

Finally, he came to the door of the Luo family's old mansion. It is an old mansion with a stone gate that bears witness to the traces of time. He gently pushed open the door, as if pushing open a sealed memory. The moonlight sprinkled on the yard, and everything was as usual. He saw an old locust tree, and when he was a child, he used to climb it to play. Today, it is still flourishing, and it seems to welcome his return.

Luo Jinyu had just entered for a while, when suddenly a black shadow came down from the eaves and landed in the courtyard. He was startled and immediately looked at the black shadow vigilantly. It was a man in a nightcoat with a black mask on his face, revealing only a pair of piercing eyes.

Who? Luo Jinyu shouted in a low voice, and at the same time clenched the short sword in his hand.

The man didn't answer, but attacked instantly, pounced on Luo Jinyu like a gust of wind. The hand-to-hand combat made a crisp sound of metal colliding. The two fought in the moonlight, and their bodies moved quickly, making them dizzying.

Luo Jinyu's heart sank, he saw that this man's martial arts were not weak, and he was definitely a master. He didn't dare to slack off and went all out to deal with the man's attack. At the same time, he is also looking for an opportunity to try to unmask the man and see his true identity.

Just as he was about to attack, the man's mask suddenly fell off, and the moonlight shone on the 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 his attack. He patted Luo Jinyu on the shoulder, and knew that you were back, but he didn't expect it to be quite fast.

The tension in Luo Jinyu's heart vanished, replaced by the joy of reunion. He held Yang Feiyun's hand tightly, you kid, why are you here?

Protect you. Yang Feiyun said simply, with a determined glint in his eyes.

Luo Jinyu slapped his shoulder with a smile and said, "Do I still need your protection?"

Yang Feiyun looked at him, his eyes were full of determination, no matter when, I will protect you.

Luo Jinyu's heart warmed, he knew that Yang Feiyun was a person who did what he said. He patted Yang Feiyun on the shoulder, good brother, it's a bit tricky to 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 the purpose of your return this time, is it because of Madame?

I knew you would be back soon when I lost news of her here, but I didn't expect you to come back so soon."

Luo Jinyu smiled, he knew Yang Feiyun's strength, he had definitely established a lot of power in the rivers and lakes in the past few years.

An image appeared in his mind: Yang Feiyun stood on a high roof, overlooking the street below, his eyes sharp. His subordinates are distributed in all corners and always pay attention to the dynamics of Ming Jingjing.

Your power is indeed not to 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, it's a bit tricky to come back this time, I need your help.

Yang Feiyun pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, I will send someone to inquire about the news of Mrs. again." You can rest assured, as long as she is still in Mingjing City, she will definitely be able to find her.

Luo Jinyu looked at Yang Feiyun's determined eyes, and a warm current surged in his heart. He knows

As long as Yang Feiyun is there, he will have something to rely on.

The two discussed for a while, and Luo Jinyu told Yang Feiyun about his plan. Yang Feiyun nodded after hearing this, expressing his approval.

I'll arrange it. Yang Feiyun said, turning around and preparing to leave.

Luo Jinyu looked at his back and felt a lot of emotion in his heart. He knew that this time, he and Yang Feiyun were going to fight side by side again.

Before Yang Feiyun left, he suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at Luo Jinyu.

General, you have traveled all the way, do you want to rest at my place for the night, or give you a comfortable place to stay? He asked gently, with concern in his eyes.

Luo Jinyu smiled slightly and shook his head, No need, I am used to walking around the city to learn about the dynamics of Ming Jingcheng. I'm already bothering you tonight, so I won't bother.

Yang Feiyun didn't insist after hearing this, but just instructed: Okay, you must be careful. Come to me if you have something.

Luo Jinyu nodded in agreement, watching Yang Feiyun disappear into the night. He took a deep breath and felt the air in Mingjing City. It's full of unfamiliarity, but with a touch of familiar warmth. He clenched his fists, his heart filled with determination and hope. He knew that this time, he and Yang Feiyun would definitely be able to find the person who disappeared and solve all the mysteries.

After he left, Luo Jinyu looked back and forth in the Luo family's old mansion.

The moonlight shines on the bluestone-paved courtyard, reflecting the dappled shadows of the trees. Everywhere he looked, there were familiar and strange scenes. Once his home, it was now strange and lonely.

He walked over to the stone table in the courtyard and sat down. The teapot on the table was still steaming, and it seemed to be the tea that Yang Feiyun had just brewed. He picked up the teacup and took a sip, the tea was fragrant and had a hint of bitterness.

The smell of this tea made his mind drift back to many years ago.

At that time, he and Yang Feiyun often drank tea and talked about swords here. At that time, they were young and vigorous, and they were ambitious. Now, time has passed, and personnel are no longer the same, but that friendship is still the same.
