Chapter 137 Return
Time flies, and two days have passed in the blink of an eye. The tranquility of these two days seems to be just a prelude to a grand return.
In the early morning, when the sun has just broken, the streets and alleys are already filled with people's voices, and it is very lively.
Today, the old marquis of the Loyalty Marquisate and a group of brave generals finally arrived in the capital. The common people voluntarily gathered on both sides of the road to welcome them with the warmest enthusiasm. The crowd surged like a surging tide, colorful flags fluttered, laughter and cheers intertwined, forming a vivid picture.
Amid the noise, the Crown Prince and several court ministers were welcoming them at the city gate. At this moment, the crisp sound of horse hooves echoed through the streets.
The sound of horse hooves came closer and closer, becoming clearer and clearer. Finally, a group of horses appeared in sight, led by the loyal and righteous old marquis.
The loyal old marquis and his entourage dismounted from their horses, knelt on one knee, bowed their heads to salute the crown prince, and shouted in unison: "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" The voices were loud and deafening.
Prince Jun Yin smiled and waved his hand to signal everyone to stand up, saying: "Old Marquis, generals, thank you for your hard work along the way."
Yalexu rode forward, dismounted, bowed, and said, "Greetings to the Prince of Dongyang."
Jun Yin returned the greeting and said, "Prince of Xiliang, you have come a long way and must have worked hard. I will take you to the inn to rest for a while. I have prepared a banquet tonight to welcome you all."
"Thank you." Yalexu smiled and nodded.
Afterwards, everyone mounted their horses and followed the prince into the capital.
The people on both sides cheered, and the cheers rose one after another, as surging as waves.
However, in this bustling scene, an unusual color quietly blends into it.
It was an envoy from Xiliang, riding on tall and mighty horses. In the middle of the team was Xiliang Crown Prince Yeluxu, wearing a gorgeous robe and with a handsome and profound face. Behind him followed a group of Xiliang people wearing strange costumes, which formed a sharp contrast with the surrounding environment.
Their appearance brought a hint of mystery to this bustling city, as if it were an exotic feast.
At the same time, two beautiful women were standing quietly in front of an exquisitely carved wooden window in a private room on the second floor of a restaurant on the side of the street.
Yun Yubing held Murong Zixi's small hand tightly, pointing out the window as if pointing out the mountains and rivers: "Xier, look, that's grandfather, uncle, cousin, and my brother! They are back!" Her voice trembled slightly with excitement, and the handkerchief in her hand waved in the air, as if to convey all her thoughts and joy to her relatives who returned from afar.
Yun Yangshuo and Yun Shenqi, two young and promising major generals, were dressed in armor and each rode on a majestic tall horse. They looked heroic and awe-inspiring, and they were both particularly popular.
Wherever he passed, he would attract cheers and shy glances from young girls.
Many women threw carefully prepared purses, handkerchiefs and other items to the two brothers to express their love.
However, Yun Yangshuo didn't seem to care about these. His gaze passed through the crowd and fell gently and deeply in a certain direction upstairs.
Suddenly, he turned around and asked Yun Shenqi beside him: "Brother, look, is the person next to Bing'er cousin Xi'er?"
Hearing this, Yun Shenqi followed his gaze and saw Yun Yubing standing by the window. Next to her was a beautiful girl, Murong Zixi.
Yun Yubing proudly introduced him to Murong Zixi: "Xi'er, look, that's my brother. Isn't he heroic and majestic?"
At this time, Yun Yubing noticed that her brother downstairs was looking at them.
She waved excitedly to her two brothers and shouted loudly: "Brother! Brother!" Her voice was clear and loud, attracting the attention of people around her.
Murong Zixi was infected by Yun Yubing's enthusiasm, and smiled and nodded to Yun Yangshuo and Yun Shenqi downstairs.
When Yun Yangshuo and Yun Shenqi saw Yun Yubing and Murong Zixi, warm smiles appeared on their faces.
They waved to the two girls upstairs and continued on their way.
Along the way, they were constantly welcomed and praised by the people.
Murong Zixi chuckled, her eyes full of tenderness, and said softly: "My eldest and second cousins are indeed very graceful, no wonder they attract so many girls' attention. Look, those young girls are all fascinated by their grace."
When Yun Yubing heard this, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, but her eyes revealed a hint of disdain. She responded, "Of course, but my two brothers are not the kind of people who can be easily moved by these vulgar women."
At this moment, Yun Yangshuo suddenly made an amazing move. He waved his hand gently, letting his brother go first, and then he suddenly spread his body, like an eagle soaring in the sky, and lightly jumped above the restaurant. This move caused the girls on both sides to scream and marvel at his lightness skills.
When Yun Yubing saw this scene, she was as excited as a little bird. She immediately flew towards Yun Yangshuo and shouted happily: "Brother~"
Yun Yangshuo smiled slightly, turned sideways to avoid Yun Yubing's hug, and turned his gaze to Murong Zixi beside him, his eyes full of concern and a warm smile, and asked: "You are cousin Xier, right? As expected, you look exactly like the portrait of my aunt in my grandfather's study. I received a letter from home and learned that you have recovered. I am really relieved."
Murong Zixi bowed slightly and said softly, "Second cousin."
Yun Yubing pouted her lips after missing out, and said unhappily, "Brother, you actually ignored me? Humph!"
Yun Yangshuo turned around, showing a bright smile, stretched out his hand and gently rubbed Yun Yubing's head, saying lovingly: "Oh, how could I ignore you, I was just too excited to see my cousin Xier recover."
Yun Yubing slapped his hand away in dissatisfaction and said coquettishly, "Brother, you messed up my hair, humph!"
Yun Yangshuo smiled and coaxed her: "No, her hair is not messy, my sister is still so beautiful and lovely."
Then he said to Murong Zixi: "Cousin Xier, let's talk about this when we come back. I have to go to the palace with my grandfather to meet the emperor first."
Murong Zixi smiled and nodded in response: "Yes!"
Yun Yangshuo did not fly away from the window this time as usual. After all, there were too many people here and doing so would attract too much attention.
So he opened the door and walked out steadily.
Watching the long team gradually go away, Murong Zixi's heart was filled with emotion. She deeply admired these people who were about to go to the battlefield to defend the country.
Yun Yubing took Murong Zixi's hand and said gently, "Let's go, Xier, let's go back to the room and wait for grandpa and the others to come back."
