Du Jian followed the old man's request and continued to harvest the wheat. Although the wheat field was not big, if he wanted to harvest it within a day, he would need at least two strong men to work at the same time without stopping for a moment.

But Du Jian seemed to be full of energy and felt no fatigue at all. At the end of the day, the entire wheat field was harvested, and Gui Yue was always by his side.

Originally, Gui Yue wanted to help Du Jian, but was rejected by Du Jian. After all, she was a girl, and the old man also told him to do the circumcision alone. In order to prevent the old man from having a reason to regret it, Du Jian took it on alone.

"Senior, the wheat has been harvested. Can you give me the antidote?"

The moment the wheat was harvested, Du Jian raised his head and shouted, as if this shout had exhausted all his strength. Before he finished speaking, Du Jian fainted on the bare wheat field.

Seeing Du Jian fainted, Gui Yue immediately rushed over and helped Du Jian up, her eyes full of pity. Then Gui Yue took Du Jian back to the hut, placed him in the guest room, and took care of him wholeheartedly.

Gui Yue looked at Du Jian who was sleeping on the bed. She felt more and more happy. She gently pushed his scattered hair behind his ears, touched Du Jian's forehead with her fingertips, and slowly slid from his eyes, nose, lips, to his chin.

Slowly, Gui Yue became mesmerized by Du Jian. A special feeling slowly took root in her heart. She whispered to herself, "Mr. Du, what kind of person are you? You are loyal and gentle, and you treat your friends wholeheartedly. I really want to know what else you are like!"

Just as Gui Yue was daydreaming, she was suddenly awakened by a series of knocking sounds. Following the sound, she looked towards the door and shouted in surprise, "Grandpa!"

"What are you doing? Are you falling in love with this man?" the old man shouted at Gui Yue.

The old man saw everything Gui Yue did to Du Jian just now, especially those ambiguous words, which made the old man extremely angry.

Gui Yue lowered her head as if she had made a mistake. The old man continued to scold her, "Yuer, he is a member of the imperial court. Do you know how you can be so shameless? It seems that Grandpa really indulges you too much!"

"Grandpa, I'm sorry, Yue'er, Yue'er..." Guiyue stammered, not knowing how to answer her grandfather.

The old man looked at his granddaughter with anger on his face, but he really couldn't bear to punish her. He sighed helplessly and turned away.

Gui Yue stayed in the room alone, looking at the unconscious Du Jian, and fell into deep thought.

The next day, Du Jian slowly woke up. When he stood up, he found the old man sitting beside him. He said to him coldly, "This is the antidote you wanted. Hurry and leave!"

Du Jian quickly put away the antidote and bowed repeatedly to the old man in gratitude: "Thank you, senior. I will never forget your kindness!"

Du Jian looked around and wanted to express his gratitude to Gui Yue, but found that she was not there. He asked the old man, "Senior, where is Yue'er? I want to say goodbye to her!"

"No need. There are differences between men and women. It's better for you to avoid seeing each other. Leave quickly!" The old man's tone suddenly became serious.

Du Jian felt that the old man was a little angry. Although he felt a little disappointed that he didn't see Gui Yue, he didn't ask any more questions and left wisely. After all, Li Han's matter was the most important thing at the moment. He thought that he would have a chance to thank Gui Yue in person in the future.

Du Jian got the antidote and immediately rushed to the palace. On the other side, Lu Li became famous in the Western Regions for defeating the Tan army.

"Mr. Lu is indeed a young hero. I admire him very much. I didn't expect that he could train such an elite team with such strong capabilities in just a few days. It really makes me amazed!" The King of the Western Regions praised Lu Li's performance in the battle of Tan State.

"King of the Western Regions, thank you for your kind words. It's just that Lu Li is lucky!" Lu Li replied.

"Mr. Lu, can you get married in the Central Plains?" asked the King of the Western Regions.

"No! I don't know what the King of the Western Regions means by asking this?" Lu Li was a little confused. This question gave him a bad feeling.

"That's good. I wonder what Mr. Lu thinks of my third daughter Tuoba Yun!" The King of the Western Regions asked tentatively.

Lu Li frowned, "The Third Princess is a righteous person with a generous personality. She is a friend worth making close friends with. She also made an indelible contribution to the battle against Tan. Lu Li is deeply grateful!"

"Really? You only feel gratitude towards Yun'er? Do you just consider her a friend?" The King of the Western Regions paused. "If I betrothed Yun'er to you, would you be willing?"

Lu Li was not surprised by the question from the King of the Western Regions. After all, he could guess his intention from his previous words and his expression.

Lu Li said firmly: "Forgive me for being so bold, but I appreciate your kindness. The Third Princess is indeed a good woman. I am willing to be her friend, but I may not be able to accept spending my whole life with her!"

The King of the Western Regions snorted coldly, his authority evident even without anger: "Yun'er is my most beloved daughter. If you refuse like this, aren't you afraid that I will punish you?"

Lu Li remained calm and said respectfully, "You wouldn't do that. The King of the Western Regions is a man of his word and he convinces people with reason. He wouldn't do such a ridiculous thing!"

The King of the Western Regions' expression froze at first, then he suddenly burst into laughter. "Very good, you are indeed the one I have my eye on. You are courageous and resolute. Since you have said so, I will not force you!"

After saying that, the King of the Western Regions handed Lu Li a small box and said, "This is what you deserve. Go back and save your friends. You are always welcome in the Western Regions!"

Lu Li took the box and opened it. A pure white Thousand Mountain Snow Lotus was lying inside. Lu Li quickly expressed his gratitude: "Lu Li is very grateful!"

After getting the snow lotus, Lu Li did not dare to delay for a moment. He immediately bid farewell to the King of the Western Regions and prepared to return to the Central Plains. After all, the poison in Li Han's body could no longer be delayed.

At the city gate, Tuoba Jun came to see Lu Li off.

"Do you know why I have to go against my father's orders to protect you?" Tuoba Jun looked at Lu Li and said meaningfully.

Lu Li was a little curious, "I am indeed very curious, I'd like to hear more details!"

In fact, Lu Li had wanted to ask Tuoba Jun why he helped him a long time ago, but he was busy training the army at the time, and he didn't know what identity to use to ask, so he kept delaying it. He didn't expect Tuoba Jun to confess himself.

"Many years ago, I was in danger and nearly lost my life. When I thought I was going to die, a boy suddenly appeared and saved me. At that time, I was seriously injured and could only see his face vaguely. When I woke up, he had left, but his face has always been reflected in my mind!" The memories of the past slowly emerged in his mind. Tuoba Jun looked away and looked into the distance with a lonely face.

"You mistook me for him!" Lu Li asked.

Tuoba Jun remained silent and just nodded.

Lu Li patted Tuoba Jun's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will help you find him. This is just a thank you for your help during this period of time!"

The two smiled at each other in the sunset.
