Unexpectedly, Sun Shangxiang actually wanted to save Zhuge Liang!

Li Huan stopped the car and turned to look at Sun Shangxiang.

"If you send someone to escort Zhuge Liang away, you will definitely offend Zhou Yu!"

Sun Shangxiang laughed and said, "Master Kongming is your sworn brother, how could I stand by and watch him die?"

Li Huan asked, "What if Zhou Yu wants to kill me?"

Sun Shangxiang replied without hesitation, "Don't worry, I will protect you!"

In that instant, Li Huan was deeply moved.

In the moonlight, Sun Shangxiang's beautiful face seemed to be shrouded in a faint halo, making her appear beautiful and holy.

Li Huan gazed into Sun Shangxiang's eyes and felt an urge to kiss her.

"Why did you stop the car..." Sun Shangxiang asked softly, shyly avoiding Li Huan's burning gaze.

Li Huan steadied himself and continued driving the electric tricycle.

"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Sun. Brother Liang has already made a solemn pledge that he will never desert his post!"

"I will also assist Brother Liang in getting 100,000 crossbow bolts as soon as possible and delivering them to Zhou Yu on time in three days!"

Sun Shangxiang asked in surprise, "Judging from your tone, you are full of confidence. Do you have a brilliant plan?"

Li Huan laughed and said, "As I said before, heavenly secrets cannot be revealed!"

Sun Shangxiang asked, "May I follow you and Mr. Kongming to see how to make 100,000 crossbow bolts?"

Li Huan thought to himself, since Sun Shangxiang intended to save Zhuge Liang, there was no need to guard against her informing Zhou Yu. He could take her along to experience the exciting process of "borrowing arrows with straw boats".

Therefore, Li Huan agreed to Sun Shangxiang's request.

After driving around for a while, Li Huan gave Sun Shangxiang some instructions and then took her back to her residence...

...

The next day, Li Huan followed Zhuge Liang to Zhou Yu's military camp.

Across the river, Cao Cao's 200,000-strong army was stationed.

Li Huan and Zhuge Liang sat in the boat drinking tea, waiting for Lu Su.

Upon learning that Sun Shangxiang intended to rescue him, Zhuge Liang was deeply moved.

Soon, Lu Su rushed over.

This man was honest and kind, and he couldn't bear to see Zhuge Liang die, so he wanted to save him.

Zhuge Liang was confident, and with Li Huan's assistance, he became even more self-assured and declined Lu Su's offer.

"Zijing, lend me twenty warships, each with thirty soldiers, and a thousand scarecrows to place on both sides of the cabin. I have a clever use for them!"

Lu Su pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Li Huan hurriedly said, "Twenty warships are not enough, we need forty, and we also need to make two thousand scarecrows!"

Lu Su asked curiously, "What exactly is it for?"

Li Huan said, "Just do it. After it's done, I'll treat you to a boxed lunch and some beer."

Lu Su grinned: "It's a deal!"

Li Huan warned, "Remember, you absolutely must not tell Governor Zhou, otherwise, Brother Liang's life will be in danger."

Lu Su cupped his hands and said, "Please rest assured, I will keep my mouth shut!"

He bid farewell and disembarked, but suddenly stopped and turned back to shout.

"Mr. Li Huan, besides beer, I also want an ice-cold Sprite!"

Li Huan said, "No problem, you can drink as much Sprite as you want!"

Watching Lu Su's retreating figure, Zhuge Liang asked, "Brother Huan, why have the number of warships and scarecrows doubled?"

Li Huan said, "If you go to Cao Cao's camp and borrow arrows with straw boats, you can get 100,000 crossbow bolts! If I go with you to Cao Cao's camp, we can get at least 200,000 crossbow bolts! Therefore, we must increase the number of warships and scarecrows!"

Zhuge Liang asked, "What is the purpose of having an extra 100,000 crossbow bolts?"

Li Huan raised an eyebrow: "Send someone to deliver the extra 100,000 crossbow bolts to Liu Bei, don't let Zhou Yu benefit from them."

Zhuge Liang suddenly realized his mistake and burst into laughter.

The third day.

As requested by Li Huan, Lu Su provided a sufficient number of warships, soldiers, and scarecrows.

In the evening, Sun Shangxiang arrived at the military camp and met with Li Huan and Zhuge Liang.

Li Huan instructed, "Miss Sun, let's get some rest and set off again at dawn tomorrow."

Sun Shangxiang was confused and didn't know where to go, but she didn't ask any questions and obediently followed the instructions.

It was around midnight.

Li Huan personally went into the military tent, woke up Sun Shangxiang, and took her onto an electric tricycle to the riverbank.

After parking, Li Huan honked the horn.

Soon, Zhuge Liang and Lu Su stepped out of the cabin and waved to each other.

Sun Shangxiang hurriedly asked, "Li Huan, what about the crossbows you and Mr. Kongming made?"

Li Huan smiled and said, "Don't rush, let's get on the boat first."

He gripped the handlebars tightly and drove along the planks into the warship.

Lu Su bowed respectfully and asked anxiously, "Mr. Li Huan, are the wine and dishes prepared?"

This guy is a foodie too.

Li Huan got out of the car, reached out and opened the food bucket, revealing a variety of fragrant dishes, steaming hot.

Lu Su couldn't help but swallow hard, and invited Li Huan and Sun Shangxiang into the cabin.

Zhuge Liang instructed his page to use a lunchbox to serve food and rice, and place it on the square table.

Sun Shangxiang didn't eat last night, and after sleeping, her stomach was already growling with hunger.

She picked up her chopsticks, grabbed a piece of braised ribbonfish, and ate a few bites with relish.

Lu Su grabbed a "braised pork trotter" and gnawed on it with great relish.

Zhuge Liang opened the beer bottle, first poured a full glass for Li Huan, and then poured beer for Lu Su and Sun Shangxiang.

After drinking some beer, Sun Shangxiang asked, "Mr. Zijing, do you know where the crossbows you made are?"

Pfft! Lu Su opened the ice-cold Sprite, took a slow sip, and clicked his tongue a few times, thoroughly enjoying himself.

He stroked his beard: "I didn't know, and I'm quite surprised."

At this moment, Zhuge Liang ordered: "Set sail!"

The fleet set sail and headed north.

Sun Shangxiang asked again, "Where exactly are we going?"

Li Huan replied, "Go to Cao Cao's camp and sell boxed lunches!"

Pfft! Lu Su was so startled that he spat out the Sprite in his mouth, wetting his collar.

Sun Shangxiang's expression changed drastically, her almond-shaped eyes widening: "Li Huan, you...you mustn't be ridiculous..."
