Seeing that the bearded man was about to chop off Lu Li's head with his sword, the girl who was replaced by Yun'er immediately stopped him and said, "Father, don't!" She immediately dismounted and stood in front of Lu Li to protect him.

The bearded man saw that it was his daughter in front of him, and he stopped the knife in his hand in time and scolded: "Tuoba Jun, what are you doing? You are the third princess of the Western Regions, and you are actually protecting this man from the Central Plains. Have you forgotten your identity?"

"Father, I haven't forgotten, but even though she is from the Central Plains, she doesn't deserve to die!" Tuoba Jun retorted.

The father and daughter who were quarreling with each other in sharp words were the King of the Western Regions and his daughter, Tuoba Yun, the third princess of the Western Regions. Today was the day they were hunting together. They were originally very happy, but they didn't expect to encounter such a thing.

The King of the Western Regions snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "Everyone in the Central Plains deserves to die. Have you forgotten what they did to us in the Western Regions? They wantonly plundered our land and food, and brutally killed so many of our compatriots. Have you forgotten all that?"

Tuoba Jun seemed to be moved by the King of the Western Regions' emotional appeal, and a layer of unspeakable grief filled his bright eyes.

"Li Han, Li Han..." Lu Li, who fainted in a pool of blood, kept calling Li Han's name. He tried hard to open his eyes, but he could not muster the strength.

Lu Li's cry pulled Tuoba Jun back from the grief. She turned to look at Lu Li's handsome face with an extremely sad expression, and her heart gradually softened. After all, she could not be as cruel as his father.

Tuoba Yun pleaded with the King of the Western Regions, "Father, I know you're cruel to the Central Plains people, but this is all the fault of the Central Plains Emperor. He made his people do these things, and they were forced into this. Who doesn't want to live a peaceful life in a war between two countries? They are living people just like us. Can't you let him go?"

Xiyu sighed, "Yun'er, have you ever thought about what to do if he is a spy sent by the Emperor of the Central Plains? This would not be a good thing for us. Such consequences are not something you and your father can bear!"

"Father!" Tuoba Jun still insisted.

"Forget it, forget it, just take him back!" The King of the Western Regions looked at his daughter begging desperately and had to compromise and agree.

Afterwards, Lu Li was brought back to the palace by the King of the Western Regions. After some treatment, his injuries were basically healed.

"Who are you?" Lu Li opened his eyes in a daze and found a strange woman in front of him. He immediately became alert.

"I am Tuoba Yun, the third princess of the Western Regions. I was the one who rescued you!" Tuoba Yun introduced herself.

The three princesses of the Western Regions? The royal family of the Western Regions!

Lu Li looked around and found that he was in a magnificent place, which was the palace of the Western Region. The woman in front of him was beautiful and free-spirited, different from the women in the Central Plains, with a unique determination and unruly nature.

"Thank you, Third Princess, for saving my life!" Lu Li said to Tuoba Yun, "My name is Lu Li. I will never forget your great kindness!"

"It's a small matter. It's fate that we meet. We in the Western Regions are not as complicated as you in the Central Plains. We just say what we think and do what we have to do without asking for anything in return!" Tuoba Jun said with a smile.

Lu Li looked at the innocent Third Princess in front of him and couldn't help but think of Hua Yunyun in the past. A feeling of sadness came over him.

"By the way, how did you, a person from the Central Plains, come to the Western Regions?" Tuoba Jun asked curiously.

Lu Li replied, "I have a very important person who was poisoned by a strange poison from your Western Regions. I came here to find an antidote, but I didn't expect to be ambushed by robbers as soon as I entered the Western Regions. He almost lost his life!"

"Is that so? That's really tragic. What antidote are you looking for? Let me see if I can help you!" Tuoba Jun felt a little sympathetic to Lu Li's situation after hearing what he said.

"What I'm looking for is the Thousand Mountain Snow Lotus!"

"That's easy!" Tuoba Jun patted Lu Li's shoulder and said, "We have this thing. I'll ask my father to give it to you right away!"

"Thank you, Third Princess!"

At this moment, the King of the Western Regions appeared: "Yun'er, I heard that the man from the Central Plains has woken up. It's time to send him back to the Central Plains!"

"Father!" Tuoba Yun heard that the King of the Western Regions had arrived and ran forward happily. "Father, wait a moment. That man is not a spy. He came to the Western Regions to detoxify someone and to find the Thousand Mountain Snow Lotus. Don't we have it? Give it to him!"

Upon hearing this, the King of the Western Regions threw Tuoba Yun aside, his face darkening as he angrily said, "Nonsense! Do you know what the Thousand Mountain Snow Lotus is? It's our national treasure, the guardian of the Western Regions. How can you just give it to an outsider, let alone a person from the Central Plains?"

Tuoba Jun wanted to continue his request, but before he could open his mouth, the King of the Western Regions said, "I don't agree with this matter. Forget it. Send him away immediately!"

The Thousand Mountain Snow Lotus was right in front of him, and Lu Li was unwilling to give it up. However, if the King of the Western Regions did not give it to him, he could not easily take it in the Western Regions Palace. Therefore, Lu Li immediately got out of bed and knelt in front of the King of the Western Regions to beg.

"King of the Western Regions, Lu Li, I beg you to give me the Thousand Mountain Snow Lotus. Without it, my beloved in the Central Plains will die soon. I heard the Third Princess say that people in the Western Regions value friendship and fate the most. Since you were able to save me in the vast desert, please save another person from the Central Plains!"

Lu Li begged desperately and kowtowed several times, but the King of the Western Regions did not respond at all. Tuoba Jun could not bear it anymore and also knelt on the ground to beg.

"Father, he is so kind and righteous that he is willing to travel thousands of miles to seek medicine. Isn't this kind of righteousness what we in the Western Regions value most? Father, please agree. Even if we take a step back, we don't need this Thousand Mountain Snow Lotus anyway. Instead of wasting it, why not use it to save people? It will also be a meritorious deed!"

The King of the Western Regions doted on this third princess the most, and he said to Tuoba Yun helplessly: "Alright, I think I've been too indulgent with you!"

Tuoba Jun knew they had succeeded when she saw her father's expression. She looked at Lu Li happily. The King of the Western Regions also looked at Lu Li and said, "This Thousand Mountain Snow Lotus blooms once every thirty years. Thirty years will soon be up. I can give it to you, but on the condition that you defeat the attack of the Tan Kingdom for us to show your sincerity. Once the mission is completed, you can go to the snow mountain and pick the Thousand Mountain Snow Lotus!"

Attack Tan on behalf of the Western Regions?

After hearing this, Lu Li fell into deep thought!

"Well, I've given you the opportunity. It depends on whether you're willing to fight for it!" Seeing Lu Li's silence, the King of the Western Regions continued, "Since you still need to think about it, I'll give you time to consider it. But after you've considered it, whether I will still agree or not is hard to say!"

The King of the Western Regions was about to leave after he finished speaking. Lu Li was afraid that the King of the Western Regions would go back on his word, so he quickly replied, "I agree!"
