Chapter 828 Marriage Proposal
Murong Yu’s word “need” made Xiao Rongyan purse his lips and swallow the rest of the words.
At that time, Murong Yu needed a spy who could gather information from various countries without being discovered. Xiao Rongyan resolutely left Yan State and went to Wei State, where he went through many hardships and became a wealthy businessman.
Now that Murong Yu needs him to stand by his side, Xiao Rongyan will not hesitate.
He turned to look at Feng Yao standing under the chariot and said, “Uncle Feng, bring me the mask on my horse’s back!”
“Yes!” Feng Yao nodded quickly.
The smile between Murong Yu’s brows deepened. Looking at his brother who was becoming more and more steady and had more and more kingly demeanor, he felt very relieved. He wondered how happy his mother would be if she knew.
He couldn’t help but raise his hand to touch his brother’s head, but he was too weak and held on to the handrail with both hands, gasping for breath.
“Brother?” Xiao Rongyan supported Murong Yu.
Murong Yu laughed softly: “I haven’t touched the top of A Yan’s head for a long time. I didn’t expect… our A Yan is already so tall!”
He turned his head and looked at Xiao Rongyan. His voice was very slow, and because he was weak, his voice was very soft. He lowered his eyes and put his hand at the height of his waist: “When you left Yan State, you were only this tall…”
“Now he is taller than my brother. My brother can’t even reach to touch our A Yan’s head.” Murong Yu said with a smile.
When Xiao Rongyan was young, he hated it most when others touched his head. He always complained to Queen Ji that his brothers always touched his head and wanted him to grow taller.
Now… there are only two of them left as siblings.
If he had known that they would be separated forever, Xiao Rongyan would definitely not care so much about being touched on the head by his brothers and sisters.
His eyes were slightly red, he bent down and took Emperor Yan’s hand, then leaned over and placed Emperor Yan’s hand on his head, holding back the discomfort in his heart, and whispered: “Brother wants to touch the top of A Yan’s head, A Yan leans over and does it.”
As long as his brother is still here, as long as his brother wants to touch him, Xiao Rongyan is willing to bow his head to his brother at any time.
Emperor Yan’s eyes suddenly became sore and swollen. He gently touched the top of Xiao Rongyan’s head and said, “Our Ah Yan has really grown up…”

The east gate of Changcheng was wide open, and the dazzling golden light shone directly into the city.
Murong Ping, the second prince of the Great Yan State, led all the Yan soldiers to welcome the Yan Emperor at the east gate. The bustling people lined up on both sides of the long street, blocked by heavy troops. The road paved with golden light led directly to the east gate of the imperial palace.
The second prince Murong Ping, dressed in military armor, holding a sword and leading light cavalry, stood outside the city gate.
From afar, we could see the army, like a giant dragon, holding high the black bird and blue bird flags representing the royal family of Yan State, winding in from the morning light…mighty and powerful.
The Second Prince Murong Ping was overwhelmed with emotion and could not help but kick his horse’s belly and rushed out.
He saw from afar the heavy cavalry leading the way. The horses were wearing black chain mail, revealing only their eyes. The soldiers in black armor on the horses held spears and halberds in their hands, marching in unison. Seeing the Second Prince Murong Ping galloping in the distance, the leading general raised his hand high and said, “Stop…”
The cavalry obeyed orders and performed the same actions.
After Murong Ping nodded to the general of Yan State, he rode his horse straight to the back. Seeing his father and uncle standing on the chariot, Murong Ping jumped off the horse, clasped his fists and knelt on one knee: “Murong Ping respectfully welcomes father, welcomes uncle!”
“Thank you for your hard work, my son!” Murong Yu raised his hand and motioned Murong Ping to stand up.
Murong Ping stood up and smiled. Perhaps because he was tanned, his teeth looked particularly white and his whole body exuded a vibrant energy.
“Open the way ahead and welcome your father into the city!” Xiao Rongyan said to Murong Ping.
“Yes!” Murong Ping clasped his fists and said yes. He jumped onto his horse, turned his horse’s head and led the way.
In Changcheng, the people heard the horn and stretched their necks to look outside…
First, the sound of heavy cavalry’s horse hooves was heard, and then… the second prince Murong Ping took the lead on horseback and led the light cavalry into the city.
The heavy cavalry followed closely behind the light cavalry. As soon as the dark chain mail and heavily armored soldiers holding spears and halberds entered the city, they gave the people an extremely strong sense of oppression.
The heavy cavalry’s hooves sounded in unison and their steps were so neat that it felt like the earth was shaking with every step.
The people of Changcheng were worldly-wise people in the capital, but they couldn’t help but feel weak in the knees when they saw this scene.
With such an army, why should Yan worry about not being able to conquer or win the battle?
Afterwards, the chariot carried by the Emperor of Yan entered the city. The Emperor of Yan, dressed in solemn and splendid attire, stood on the chariot, with his back straight and his eyes looking forward, full of the emperor’s overwhelming spirit.
Xiao Rongyan, wearing a silver mask, stood side by side with Emperor Murong Yu of Yan. He quietly held Emperor Yan’s elbow, supported Emperor Yan, and looked down at the soldiers and the people.
“kneel……”
The general’s shout was heard from the top of the city wall.
The people knelt down one after another, and only those who were extremely curious dared to secretly look up at the Emperor of Yan, who was known as the most handsome man in the world.
The soldiers knelt on one knee, punched their chests and shouted: “Long live your Majesty! Long live the Kingdom of Yan!”
The soldiers of the Yan army made the same movements, and their loud voices seemed to tear the sky apart. With their bloody and murderous spirit, they solemnly declared… Changcheng was already the territory of the Yan State.
Wherever the Emperor of Yan went, the soldiers shouted…
“Long live His Majesty! Long live the Kingdom of Yan!”
The sound shook the whole area and made people excited.
Murong Yu’s vision was a little blurry. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the distant imperial palace that was shining brightly in the morning sun. His body almost went limp and fell down.
“Brother!” Xiao Rongyan supported Murong Yu tightly.
“Don’t worry, I can hold on!” Murong Yu held the chariot’s handrails with both hands and tried to straighten his back.
Murong Yu knew that he was already at the end of his strength, and the world of the future… would belong to A Yan and his descendants.
“Ayan, my only regret is that I didn’t get to see you and the Princess Zhenguo get married!” Murong Yu said in a very soft voice, “However, that day in Shuoyang, my brother had already drunk the tea offered by the Princess Zhenguo, and also gave her the treasure box that mother prepared for her daughter-in-law.”
Xiao Rongyan clenched his teeth, holding back the pain in his heart, and said, “She and I had an agreement beforehand that the day when Wei is destroyed will be the day when I will go to ask for marriage. My mother passed away early, and the eldest brother is like a father, so my brother… should go to ask for marriage on my behalf!”
Hearing Xiao Rongyan’s words, Murong Yu turned to look at Xiao Rongyan, with a smile of surprise in his extremely delicate and beautiful phoenix eyes, and nodded: “Okay, wait… After the matter in Changcheng is completed, I will go to Shuoyang in person to propose marriage for A Yan.”
Xiao Rongyan nodded: “Ayan’s life is now in my hands, brother.”
Murong Yu smiled and nodded, cheering himself up, wanting to hold on for a few more days… until he could propose marriage for A Yan and then go to pay his respects to his mother.
After all, if he, as a brother, was not there, the elders in Princess Zhenguo’s family would inevitably feel that A Yan did not value Princess Zhenguo.
At this time, the old aristocratic nobles who stayed in Changcheng and did not move the capital with the Emperor of Wei and the Queen Mother of Wei were waiting for the Emperor of Yan in the square in front of the palace.
