Li Huan continued to observe and discovered a tall platform in the distance.
He took a few steps forward and looked closely.
Around the high platform sat many ragged beggars, about five or six hundred in number.
In an instant, Li Huan understood.
This is the summit of Junshan Mountain in Dongting Lake.
At this moment, the "Beggars' Sect Conference" is being held at "Xuanyuan Platform"!
Ding! The system notification sounded!
[Attention, Master! The fourth mission to travel through "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has been issued!]
[He set up a stall selling boxed lunches at the "Beggars' Guild Assembly" and earned 100,000 taels of silver!]
[Mission successful! 100,000 taels of silver have been automatically converted into special points, which can be exchanged for various weapons!]
Upon hearing this, Li Huan was both amused and exasperated.
I have already agreed to become the leader of the Beggars' Clan by Hong Qigong, but tonight I am going to set up a stall to sell boxed lunches at the "Beggars' Clan Assembly" to earn 100,000 taels of silver. Isn't that the same as making money off my own family?
Suddenly, a crying sound came from "Xuanyuan Terrace".
The beggars were seen beating their chests and stamping their feet, wailing and crying, creating a pitiful scene.
Immediately afterwards, a young gentleman holding a green bamboo staff ascended the Xuanyuan Platform.
Upon seeing this, Li Huan immediately realized what was happening.
This young master is none other than Yang Kang, the adopted son of Wanyan Honglie!
The Beggars' Sect disciples wept bitterly, having believed Yang Kang's lies and mistakenly believing that Hong Qigong had died at the hands of Huang Yaoshi and the Quanzhen Sect.
According to the plot of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", after Hong Qigong was rescued from the deserted island, he and Zhou Botong ran to the capital and hid in the imperial kitchen to taste "Mandarin Duck Five Treasures Stew".
Ouyang Ke stole Huang Rong's green bamboo staff and harassed and bullied Mu Nianci in Niujia Village. Just then, Yang Kang arrived and killed Ouyang Ke!
Yang Kang casually took the green bamboo staff and arrived at Dongting Lake to participate in the "Beggars' Sect Conference," attempting to become the sect leader and use the Beggars' Sect to serve the Jin Kingdom.
Li Huan couldn't help but regret it.
When I agreed to become the leader of the Beggars' Clan, I should have accepted the green bamboo staff and kept it in the electric scooter.
Without the green bamboo staff, Yang Kang would have no opportunity to cause trouble and would be unable to control the Beggars' Sect.
If I'm not mistaken, Huang Rong and Guo Jing have been bewitched by Elder Peng of the Clean Clothes Sect using "mind-controlling techniques" and tied to the Xuanyuan Platform.
Tonight, besides Yang Kang causing trouble, there's also Qiu Qianren, the leader of the Iron Palm Clan!
Thinking of this, Li Huan suddenly felt enlightened.
Setting up a stall to sell boxed lunches at the "Beggars' Sect Assembly" wasn't just about making money from the Beggars' Sect; it was also about making money off Yang Kang and Qiu Qianren, ripping them off mercilessly!
Li Huan quickly got into the cockpit, slowly accelerated, and quietly drove towards Xuanyuan Terrace.
Yang Kang stood tall on the platform, his handsome features and elegant demeanor exuding the noble air of a young prince.
He spoke eloquently, urging the four elders of the Beggars' Sect to first kill Huang Rong and Guo Jing to avenge Hong Qigong, and then settle scores with Huang Yaoshi and the Quanzhen Sect!
The members of the Beggars' Sect were filled with righteous indignation and began to curse.
Huang Rong and Guo Jing were bound hand and foot and lay on the platform, their mouths stuffed with hemp seeds, so they could hear but could not speak.
The current situation is extremely unfavorable for Huang Rong and Guo Jing.
Elder Jian of the Clean Clothes Faction stood up and proposed that they first respect Hong Qigong's dying wish and establish the nineteenth leader of the gang, and then discuss how to avenge Hong Qigong.
Lu Youjiao, an elder of the Dirty Clothes Faction, cried as he grabbed some soil and sculpted it into a spirit image of Hong Qigong, which he then placed beside the Xuanyuan Terrace as a memorial offering.
Elder Peng of the Clean Clothes Faction hurriedly asked Yang Kang what instructions Hong Qigong had given before his death.
A look of smugness flashed in Yang Kang's eyes as he raised his green bamboo staff.
"When Chief Hong was on his deathbed, he passed on the green bamboo staff to..."
"Boxed lunches for sale! Boxed lunches for sale! Top-quality boxed lunches! Delicious boxed lunches!"
Yang Kang was interrupted by a loud shout before he could finish speaking!
Li Huan had already set up a stall under the pine tree next to "Xuanyuan Terrace," holding a vegetable ladle and tapping it against a food bucket.
"Selling boxed lunches! The boxed lunches that Hong Qigong loves to eat the most!"
"Fellow Beggars' Sect brothers, don't miss this opportunity!"
Yang Kang, Lu Youjiao, Elder Jian, Elder Peng, and Elder Liang were all greatly shocked.
They were so engrossed in discussing the appointment of a new leader that they didn't realize someone had secretly infiltrated the "Beggars' Guild Assembly" and set up a food stall!
Elder Jian took two short steps and walked towards Li Huan, scrutinizing him closely.
"Where did these people from the Western Regions come from, setting up stalls and doing business on the Beggars' Sect's territory!"
Elder Jian's voice was not loud, but it was full of authority.
Although Li Huan was Hong Qigong's eldest disciple, Hong Qigong did not tell the four elders of the Beggars' Sect. Therefore, apart from Huang Rong, Guo Jing, Huang Yaoshi, Ouyang Feng, and Zhou Botong, no one knew about Li Huan's master-disciple relationship with Hong Qigong.
Li Huan put down the spoon and said with a smile.
"Old beggar, you are mistaken! First of all, I am not from the Western Regions! Secondly, this is Junshan, not the territory of the Beggars' Sect!"
Elder Jian was taken aback, then burst into laughter: "Hahaha, ignorant peddler! Beggar Clan disciples are all over the world, the whole world is Beggar Clan territory!"
Li Huan sneered, "I've seen shameless old men, but I've never seen such a brazen old bastard as you! A Beggar Clan disciple begging on the street, and you even manage to exude arrogance?"
"If you were to go begging on the streets of Lin'an, would you dare to tell the emperor that Lin'an is also part of the Beggars' Sect's territory?"
Elder Jian was speechless, his face turning slightly red.
Elder Peng's eyes darted around as he looked at Yang Kang.
"Master Yang, do you know this young man?"
Yang Kang stared at Li Huan, his eyes filled with vigilance: "I have never met this person before."
Elder Peng stared at Li Huan: "Boy, it's already dark. Why didn't you set up a stall on the street? Why did you run up to the mountaintop? What are you planning to do?"
Elder Peng's eyes gleamed with a sharp light, as if he could see through Li Huan's soul.
Li Huan knew that Elder Peng was rather cunning and skilled in "mind control." He had been coerced and lured by Yang Kang into becoming a puppet, joining forces with Huang Rong to plot against her and seize the position of gang leader.
Therefore, Li Huan secretly channeled his inner energy to resist Elder Peng's "mind-controlling technique" in order to avoid being controlled.
"I heard that the Beggars' Sect is holding a general meeting at the top of Junshan Mountain tonight, so I came to join in the fun, set up a stall to sell boxed lunches, and earn some money!"
Elder Peng laughed and said, "The Beggars' Sect disciples are all beggars, penniless and destitute. Where would they get the money to buy food? You're clearly lying!"
Li Huan retorted: "That's not right! First of all, the Beggars' Sect is divided into the Dirty Clothes Faction and the Clean Clothes Faction. The Dirty Clothes Faction is only allowed to beg and not to spend money to buy food, but the Clean Clothes Faction can!"
"Secondly, the people attending the Beggars' Sect assembly are not just beggars. This young master with the bamboo pole is definitely not a member of the Beggars' Sect. He could easily afford a boxed lunch!"
Elder Peng was also silenced.
"A bamboo pole?" Yang Kang subconsciously raised his green bamboo staff and couldn't help but smile.
This street vendor doesn't even recognize the Beggars' Sect's prized "Dog-Beating Stick," which shows he's ignorant and poses no threat.
Lu Youjiao wiped away his tears, walked to the electric tricycle, and asked in a gruff voice.
"What were you shouting just now? Say it again!"
Li Huan cleared his throat and shouted.
"Selling boxed lunches! The boxed lunches that Hong Qigong loves to eat the most!"
"Fellow Beggars' Sect brothers, don't miss this opportunity!"
Lu Youjiao's eyes suddenly lit up as he pointed at the food bucket.
"The boxed lunch that Chief Hong likes the most! Have you ever seen him?"
