Chapter - 472 The Great Army Heads West (7) (2/2)

Her mother smiled, ”You are going to get married in a few days, yet you cannot bear not to see each other for just a day. All right, you may go.”

Huazheng smiled and walked out the tent. ”Guo Jing Gege [big brother],” she called.

”Meizi [younger sister], I have something I need to tell you,” Guo Jing said. He led her walking to the west. Two people walked several li's into the prairie, far from the big camp, and sat side by side on the grass.

Huazheng leaned against Guo Jing's body. Lowering her head she said, ”Jing Gege, I also have something I want to tell you.”

Guo Jing was slightly startled, ”Ah! So you know already?” he said. He thought it would be better for her to find out, since he did not know where to start.

”Know what?” Huazheng was confused, ”I wanted to tell you that I am not the Great Khan's daughter.”

”What?” Guo Jing was surprised.

Huazheng lifted up her eyes toward the crescent moon on the horizon, she slowly said, ”After I am married to you, I will forget that I am the Great Khan's daughter, I am only Guo Jing's wife. If you want to beat me or scold me, go ahead and do it. Don't think that because my father is the Great Khan you have to submit to me.”

Guo Jing felt a mixture of bitter-sweet and warm and fuzzy feeling in his heart, he said, ”Meizi, you treated me very well. It's a pity I don't deserve to have you.”

”What do you mean you don't deserve me?” Huazheng countered, ”You are the kindest man in the world, except for my father, nobody is better than you. Even my four elder brothers don't hold a candle compared to you.”

Guo Jing was silent for a long time; he was going to leave Mongolia for the south early in the morning the next day, yet he did not know how to tell her.

Huazheng continued, ”These past several days I have been so happy. I remember that time when I heard you had died I was going to die with you. Lucky for me Brother Tuolei snatched the dagger from my hand; otherwise how can I marry you now? Guo Jing Gege, I'd rather die than not being your wife.”

Guo Jing silently thought, ”Rong'er won't talk to me like this; but both of them are very kind to me.” Thinking about Huang Rong he could not help letting out a long sigh.

”Uh, why did you sigh?” Huazheng wondered.

”It was nothing,” Guo Jing reluctantly said.

Huazheng said, ”Hmm, my first brother and second brother didn't like you, but my third brother and fourth brother are very fond of you. I have told my father frankly that the first brother and second brother are not good, third brother and fourth brother are good, so you don't have to worry.”

”Why would I worry?” Guo Jing wondered.

Huazheng was very proud of herself, ”I heard mother said that since Father is getting older, he wants to appoint the Khan's Crown Prince. Can you guess who will be chosen?”

”Naturally your first brother, Jochi. Not only he is the oldest, but has rendered most service as well,” Guo Jing said.
