Northwest Military Camp
The next morning, Mu Qing and Murong Yu bid farewell to Mu Chengyu, Tao Wuqing, and their group and left.
Murong Yu went to the capital to see his elder brother, carrying the Blood Spirit Fruit that Mu Qing had given him the night before, and set off alone.
When Mu Chengyu learned that Murong Yu was going to the capital, he originally wanted to go back to the capital with Murong Yu. He was inexplicably concerned about this person who suddenly appeared on the battlefield, helped him, and was somewhat similar to his father.
Everything had been arranged, but just before he was about to set off, he suddenly received news that the Great King of the Northern Desert, Mo Bei'an, was coming to meet him. He had no choice but to suppress his regret and stay in the Northwest military camp for the time being.
He originally thought that since the other party knew his father, they could naturally meet again after returning to the capital.
However, what he didn't know was that this missed opportunity meant he would never have the chance to see this person again.
Not long after, this incident became a lingering regret for Mu Chengyu. When he grew old, he still felt regretful and unable to let go whenever he thought of that day.
Dynasty Capital
With Murong Yu's cultivation at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, he sped up his journey and arrived at the palace in less than three days.
Murong Zhi felt something and walked out of Enhua Palace.
As soon as I stepped out of Enhua Hall, I saw a tall figure standing under a big tree in the courtyard.
Murong Yu raised his eyes and looked at the much older figure at the entrance of Enhua Palace.
Murong Zhi, now over fifty, still possesses the same refined and scholarly demeanor as before, though now he has a few more strands of white hair at his temples and a few more wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.
Having reigned for many years, he possessed both the majesty of an emperor and the loneliness of holding a high position.
Murong Yu just quietly looked at the other person, at his brother whom he had only left a year ago, but in reality, he had been separated from him for more than thirty years.
Murong Zhi recognized Murong Yu at a glance, his imposing aura vanished, and his smile became as warm as yesterday.
Murong Yu stood a few steps away from Murong Zhi and slowly walked out from under the big tree in the courtyard. Only then did the guards outside the hall see the newcomer and looked at him warily with their swords drawn.
Zhao Cheng emerged from Enhua Hall, his figure trembling. Upon seeing this, he quickly ordered the guards to sheathe their swords and leave the courtyard.
Seeing that everyone had left, he also staggered out.
The space was left for the two brothers who were reunited after a long separation.
Although they hadn't seen each other for many years, the moment his gaze fell upon Murong Yu, he recognized the Prince Yu who had been gone for over thirty years.
Murong Yu looked at his brother, who had changed so much and aged considerably, and his eyes welled up with tears.
The two brothers were only a few steps apart, yet it felt as if they were separated by a thousand mountains and rivers. They looked at each other, as if they had a thousand words to say, but in the end, they choked up and could not speak.
Finally, Murong Zhi slowly stepped forward and embraced his younger brother, who was now half a head taller than him.
A choked voice rang in Murong Yu's ears: "Ayu, you're finally back. It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back..."
After a long silence, a gentle voice spoke again: "Could you stay a few more days?"
Murong Zhi knew in his heart that the Murong Yu in front of him was no longer the impetuous and reckless child he once was.
He won't stay forever.
After being separated for many years, he only hoped that the other party could stay a few more days so that the two brothers could catch up.
He had a premonition that this parting would be the last.
Murong Yu blinked away the tears in his eyes and said softly, "Okay."
News of the war's end quickly spread throughout the capital and then the entire country, sparking nationwide celebration.
