The Young Swordsman of Dalu

Wenfei rode his horse at breakneck speed along the road to the Western Regions, glancing back every now and then.

"Tomboy, are you sure you can handle this? Hurry up and keep up!"

Li Wei slapped his horse's rump and tried his best to catch up with Wen Fei ahead.

"You little rascal, can't you slow down a bit?"

Wen Fei turned his head and said, "Our Great Lu Kingdom is at a critical moment of life and death. We should reach the Western Regions as soon as possible, find your uncle as your grandfather instructed, and persuade him. The faster we go, the less danger our Great Lu Kingdom will be in, and the fewer casualties our soldiers will suffer."

"You're so right! Let's hurry up!" Li Wei said.

It turned out that the night before, Li Chaoyang had instructed Wen Fei and Li Wei to secretly travel to the Western Regions.

Wen Fei was determined to get his green thumb ring back. When he heard Li Chaoyang ask him to go to the Western Regions, he immediately offered the green thumb ring as a condition for exchange, and Li Chaoyang agreed to his condition without hesitation.

Li Chaoyang spoke to Li Wei alone, telling him that if he couldn't persuade his uncle after arriving in the Western Regions, he should find a way to ensure his own safety and survival if they were in danger.

Two teenagers, facing a long road ahead, showed no fear but forged ahead bravely.

The carefree Taoist priest of Nanshan and the unintentional nun of Beishan received a message from Li Chaoyang via carrier pigeon at almost the same time. In the message, Li Chaoyang described the current situation of the Great Lu Kingdom and asked the two of them to call on all the heroes, martial arts masters and elites of the Great Lu Kingdom to form a national salvation army and immediately go to the northwestern border of the Great Lu Kingdom to save the country from its crisis.

Master Wuyou and Abbess Wuyi immediately issued a call to arms to heroes across the land. In this time of crisis, heroes, martial arts masters, and other outstanding individuals from all over the Great Lu Kingdom responded one after another and quickly gathered at the northwestern border of the Great Lu Kingdom. Even bandits who ruled the mountains came upon hearing the news, all expressing their desire to contribute their strength to the country and its people. The patriotic enthusiasm of the people of the Great Lu Kingdom reached its peak, and the people eagerly took up arms to form volunteer armies and border troops to fight the enemy together.

Seeing the endless stream of righteous troops arriving at the northwestern border, Li Linlie was deeply moved. These were such good people; he would fight for them! He would fight for the Great Lu Kingdom!

Wenfei and Li Wei arrived in Turkic territory at top speed and entered the grasslands.

"Li Wei, have you been to the Western Regions before?" Wen Fei asked.

“I’ve never been here before,” Li Wei said.

“You’ve never been to your maternal grandparents’ house before. What is your mother thinking?” Wenfei said.

"Don't speak ill of my mother!" Li Wei said.

"Do you know where the royal court is?" Wenfei asked.

"I don't know, I've already said this is my first time here too," Li Wei said impatiently.

"We need to find some Western Region clothing to wear as soon as possible, otherwise we'll quickly become a suspect," Wenfei said.

Wenfei and his group quickly stole clothes from a herdsman and changed into them. They searched for traces of the royal court on the grassland. Their furtive behavior soon attracted the attention of the royal court's spies on the grassland. Just as they discovered the royal court, they were surrounded.

"Arrest these two people; they're acting suspiciously, they don't seem like good people."

"Let's take them back to the royal court and hand them over to Prince Yuchi for processing."

"Okay! Let's go!"

Wenfei and Li Wei obediently allowed themselves to be escorted to the royal court.

“It really came so easily. The Prince Yuchi they’re talking about must be your uncle, right?” Wenfei said to Li Wei.

“It should be, because only my uncle’s family has the surname Yuchi on the grasslands,” Li Wei said.

"You two, stop whispering!" the scout snapped.

"Big brother, where are you taking us?" Wenfei asked.

You'll see when you get there!

The scouts led them past many tents, finally arriving at a relatively luxurious one. One of the scouts explained their purpose to the soldier at the entrance, who then allowed them to take their men inside.

"Your Highness, I have brought two men with me. They are acting suspiciously and seem to be spies sent by an enemy country."

Yu Chi Liang glanced at Wen Fei and Li Wei and asked, "Where are you from?"

“Tell them to leave, and we’ll tell you,” Wenfei said.

"Oh! You still have to keep it a secret from others? Alright! You can all go out now!" Yuchi Liang said to the spies.

After the spies left, Yuchi Liang took a sip of milk tea from his cup and said, "Speak!"

“Uncle, I am Li Weishi! My mother is Yuchi Yu,” Li Weishi knelt down in front of Yuchi Liang with a thud.

Looking at the little girl in front of him, Yu Chi Liang walked closer to observe her more closely, and he had to admit that she looked just like his sister, Yu Chi Yu.

"How can you prove you are my sister's child?" Yu Chi Liang asked, somewhat uneasy.

Li Wei then pried open his neck, pulled hard from inside, and pulled out a white jade pendant.

“This is my sister’s jade pendant. You really are my sister’s child,” Yu Chi Liang said excitedly.

“Uncle, I’ve finally met you,” Li Wei said.

"Child, get up! How did you get here? How is your mother?" Yuchi Liang asked.

“She’s not good,” Li Wei said.

"What happened to my sister?" Yu Chi Liang asked anxiously.

“My mother and father are currently surrounded by armies from various tribes in the Western Regions on the northwestern border,” Li Wei said.

"Who sent you?" Yu Chi Liang sensed something.

“My grandfather,” Li Wei said.

“Li Chaoyang,” Yuchi Liang said.

“Uncle, please persuade your Khan to withdraw his troops! Otherwise, my mother will stay with my father and defend the northwest border to the death,” Li Wei said.

“That’s her own fault, she has no one to blame but herself,” Yu Chi Liang said coldly.

“She’s your only sister. Don’t you people from the Western Regions care about sibling relationships? That’s so cold-blooded!” Li Wei said.

“We each serve our own masters, and we have no personal feelings to show. Before the others notice you, I will send you out of the grassland. This is all I can do. Go!” Yuchi Liang said.

"Enough! Tomboy, your uncle is nothing special. Let's go find the Khan directly!" Wenfei said.

"And who are you, brat? You're so arrogant and ignorant. Going to see the Khan now will only lead to your death," said Yuchi Liang.

“We don’t want to waste time with you anymore, we don’t have time,” Wenfei said.

“The Khan is in high spirits right now. If you rashly go to persuade him to withdraw his troops, wouldn’t that be suicide?” Yuchi Liang said.

"Does Uncle have any ideas?" Li Wei asked.

“I almost let you get in here again,” Yu Chi Liang said.

"Uncle, you're our only family here. You have to help us, or we'll risk our lives to persuade the Khan to withdraw his troops," Li Wei said, crying.

"You silly child, we've only just met and you've already given me a huge problem," Yu Chi Liang said helplessly.

"Your Highness, I was very disrespectful just now! Please help us." Wenfei pleaded.

“I don’t want to fight with your Great Lu Kingdom either! Attacking the Great Lu Kingdom has always been the wish of the Khans of the various tribes in the Western Regions. They have finally waited for such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how could they let it go? If you have to blame someone, blame your Great Lu Kingdom for being so useless. That Zhou Moyao has been dominating the court for so many years, and your emperor has been indifferent to his actions. It’s truly a sin,” said Yuchi Liang.

“Zhou Moyao is a villain who has brought disaster to the country and the people, and he deserves to die! The most urgent thing is for Your Highness to take us to see the Khan,” Wenfei said.

“Alright, I’ll go to the royal court first and sound out the Khan’s opinion. You all stay in my tent and don’t go out. If you fall into the Khan’s hands, I won’t be able to save you,” Yuchi Liang said.

"Uncle, go quickly. We'll listen to you and stay quietly in the main tent," Li Wei said.

"Thank you for your trouble, Your Highness," Wenfei said respectfully.

Yuchi Liang left the main tent and headed towards the royal court.
