Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 829

Chapter 829: Chapter 826: Seeking Marriage

Murong Yu’s use of the word "needs" made Xiao Rongyan press his lips together, swallowing the rest of his words.

When Murong Yu needed a spy who could gather information in various countries without revealing his identity, Xiao Rongyan resolutely left Yan and braved countless dangers to become a wealthy merchant in Wei.

Now that Murong Yu needed him by his side, Xiao Rongyan would not hesitate.

He turned to look at Feng Yao standing under the chariot and said, "Uncle Feng, fetch the mask from my horse’s back!"

"Yes!" Feng Yao quickly nodded.

Murong Yu’s smile deepened as he looked at his increasingly steady and kingly brother. He felt a sense of relief; if their mother knew, she would be very pleased.

He couldn’t help but raise his hand, wanting to touch his brother’s head, but his strength failed him. He clutched the armrests and gasped for breath.

"Brother?" Xiao Rongyan supported Murong Yu.

Murong Yu chuckled softly, "It’s been a long time since I last touched A Yan’s head. Who would’ve thought... our A Yan has grown so tall now!"

He turned to look at Xiao Rongyan, speaking slowly due to his weakness, and lowered his eyes to measure the height at his waist: "When you left Yan, you were only this tall..."

"Now, you’re taller than your brother. If your brother wants to touch A Yan’s head, he can’t reach it." Murong Yu laughed.

When Xiao Rongyan was young, he always complained to Empress Ji about his brothers touching his head, wanting to grow taller.

Now... only they remained among the siblings.

If he had known they would be separated by life and death, Xiao Rongyan wouldn’t have minded being touched by his brother and sister.

His eyes reddened slightly, he bent down, took Emperor Yan’s hand, lowered his head, placed Emperor Yan’s hand on his head, suppressed his grief, and whispered, "If my brother wants to touch A Yan’s head, A Yan will bend down."

As long as his brother is around, as long as his brother wants to touch, Xiao Rongyan is willing to bow his head to his brother at any time.

Emperor Yan’s eyes filled with tears, he gently touched Xiao Rongyan’s head, "Our A Yan has truly grown up..."

Chang City’s east gate opened wide, the first rays of dazzling sunlight shot into the city.

Murong Ping, the second prince of Yan, led the Yan Army to greet Emperor Yan at the east gate. The bustling citizens stood on both sides of the long street, blocked by heavy soldiers, with the road paved by golden light leading straight to the Imperial Palace’s east gate.

The second prince Murong Ping, dressed in battle armor, held his sword and stood with light cavalry outside the city gate.

From a distance, they saw a dragon-like army holding the Xuanniao Qingque banner representing Yan’s Imperial Family, winding through the morning light... majestic and imposing.

Murmur Ping’s heart surged, unable to contain himself, he squeezed his horse’s belly and rushed out.

From afar, he saw the heavily armored cavalry at the front, their horses wearing black chain mail, exposing only their eyes. The soldiers atop the horses, clad in black armor, held their spears and marched in neat steps. Seeing Murmur Ping’s rapid approach, the leading general raised his hand high, "Stop..."

The iron cavalry obeyed orders without hesitation, their movements synchronized.

Murong Ping nodded to the Yan general, then swiftly galloped to the rear, seeing his father and Uncle Feng standing on the chariot. Murong Ping dismounted, clasped his hands and knelt on one knee, "Murong Ping welcomes Father, welcomes Uncle Feng!"

"My son, you have worked hard!" Murong Yu raised his hand to signal Murong Ping to rise.
