Yuanbao escorted Duobao to the fork in the road and handed him the bundle, "Take care on your journey!"
"Yuanbao!" Duobao called out softly.
"Even if you ask, I won't answer. Many things are not as they seem, whether seen by the eyes or heard by the ears. Only what you experience and verify for yourself is true. Brother, you are my brother, and you always will be. Our grandfather and I both believe you never betrayed us. Don't put too much pressure on yourself!"
"..." Duobao remained silent.
After thinking for a moment, Yuanbao added, "Brother, take care of yourself!"
He had said everything he wanted to say; how much of it his elder brother would grasp was up to him.
He turned and headed back towards the military camp.
Duobao, mounted on his horse, watched as Yuanbao's figure gradually disappeared; he took a deep breath, tightened the reins, and spurred his horse forward with a "Giddyup!"
He galloped away at a mad pace.
