Upon hearing the "whoosh" of the bugle, Li Huan immediately became invigorated.
The Golden Wheel Monk has arrived!
Li Huan raised his head and looked ahead at the main road.
To everyone's surprise, the person who sounded the horn was a young beggar.
He picked up a horn from somewhere and played it as he walked.
Lu You angrily shouted: "You bastards! Smash the Mongol horns! Don't let them sound again!"
Several Beggars' Sect disciples ran over, snatched the horn from the young beggar's hand, and smashed it with all their might.
Sun Bu'er said to Huang Rong, "Chief Huang, what kind of hero smashes the horns of the Mongol Tartars? We should quickly elect a leader of the martial arts alliance to lead all the heroes to fight against the enemy and prevent the Mongol Tartars from daring to invade our Great Song Dynasty again!"
Huang Rong said, "Master Sun is absolutely right. After we sell all the boxed lunches, let's go into the manor to discuss and elect a leader for the martial arts alliance!"
Sun Bu'er looked impatient and turned to walk towards the courtyard gate.
"Stop!" Li Huan shouted.
Sun Bu'er suddenly stopped and turned around to ask, "What is it?"
Li Huan said, "Fourteen years ago, at the Huashan Sword Competition and Culinary Tournament, the Old Urchin Zhou Botong challenged me to a martial arts contest and lost to me. The Quanzhen Sect bought a thousand boxed meals. Didn't you eat any of them back then?"
Sun Bu'er thought for a moment and replied, "I only tried a few vegetarian dishes."
Li Huan picked up a piece of "deep-fried stinky tofu" with her chopsticks and waved it at Sun Bu'er: "This stinky tofu is also a vegetarian dish, are you really not going to eat it?"
Sun Bu'er frowned and said, "It stinks so badly it makes me want to vomit!"
Li Huan laughed and said, "You're lying! Just now, you secretly ate a piece of fried stinky tofu!"
"Nonsense!" Sun Bu'er retorted sharply, "How could I eat this stinky stuff!"
Li Huan said, "I can see clearly that there are still bits of tofu residue in your mouth!"
Sun Bu'er immediately opened her mouth to show Li Huan, proving that she hadn't eaten "fried stinky tofu"!
Whoosh!
Li Huan tossed a piece of "deep-fried stinky tofu" into Sun Bu'er's mouth!
High accuracy and strong force.
Caught off guard, Sun Bu'er couldn't spit out the "fried stinky tofu" and instinctively swallowed it.
"How does it taste?" Li Huan asked with a smile.
Sun Bu'er suddenly realized that she had been tricked. She was shocked and angry, and her face turned red!
"You...you cheated..."
Sun Bu'er pretended to vomit, but couldn't spit out the stinky tofu, and was surprised.
Strange, "deep-fried stinky tofu" smells awful, but why doesn't it leave a bad taste in my mouth or make me feel nauseous?
Lu Guanying hurriedly clasped his hands and said, "Chief Li, the Quanzhen Sect came in a hurry and didn't bring enough money. I'll buy a hundred boxed meals for the Quanzhen Sect!"
After saying this, Lu Guanying instructed his servants to bring another ten thousand taels of silver.
Hao Datong and Sun Bu'er quickly expressed their gratitude to Lu Guanying.
Li Huan knew that Lu Guanying's wife, Cheng Yaojia, was Sun Bu'er's apprentice.
Therefore, Lu Guanying tried his best to please Li Huan, hoping that he would stop making things difficult for Sun Bu'er.
Suddenly, a strong wind arose, whipping up clouds of dust and sand.
Huang Rong advised, "Brother Huan, the weather is terrible. Why don't we go into the village and continue selling boxed lunches?"
Li Huan nodded in agreement and quickly tidied up the dining table and stools.
soon.
The electric tricycle was moved to the main hall of Lujiazhuang.
Everyone placed their boxed lunches on the table and enjoyed them, completely ignoring the various dishes provided by Lu Family Manor.
Li Fu and Li Xiang had left the cockpit and were sitting with the Wu brothers and Guo Polu. They were enjoying their boxed lunches with great relish.
Huang Rong and Guo Jing sat in the main seats of the hall, while Yang Guo was seated next to Huang Rong at her table.
Li Huan stood in front of the electric tricycle, directing his servants to carry Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) and distribute it to each table.
Huang Rong raised her wine cup: "This cup of wine is to my revered master, Master Qi! To comfort his spirit in heaven!"
After saying that, Huang Rong poured the Erguotou liquor from her cup onto the ground.
Everyone raised their glasses and poured wine in remembrance of Hong Qigong.
Huang Rong said, "Heroes from all over the world have gathered here. Today, we must elect a person of high moral character, loyalty, and patriotism to serve as the leader of the Central Plains martial arts alliance and lead all heroes to resist the Mongol Tartars!"
The crowd shouted in unison, full of anticipation.
Huang Rong's eyes sparkled with love as she looked at Li Huan.
Lu Youjiao quickly said, "Fourteen years ago, Chief Li set up a stall to sell boxed lunches at the 'Huashan Sword Debate Food Conference,' raising nearly 800,000 taels of silver for refugees in the north!"
"Furthermore, Chief Li became the number one martial artist in the world. He successively defeated Chief Hong, Master Guo, Ouyang Feng, Zhou Botong of the Quanzhen Sect, Qiu Qianren of the Iron Palm Clan, and even Huang Yaoshi of the Eastern Heretic and Master Yideng admitted defeat on the spot!"
"Unfortunately, after Chief Li left Mount Hua, he never showed up again. Chief Huang, following the orders of Chief Hong, temporarily took over the Beggars' Sect's affairs for fourteen years!"
"Today, Chief Li has finally shown himself. With his martial arts skills and character, he is the most qualified to serve as the leader of the martial arts alliance, to command the heroes and resist foreign enemies!"
After Lu Youjiao finished speaking with great enthusiasm, everyone cheered.
Li Huan smiled calmly.
Lao Tzu may possess the title of "the greatest martial artist in the world," but he lacks the energy to serve as the "leader of the martial arts world"!
Because the "Martial Arts Alliance Leader" bears a heavy responsibility, he must constantly monitor the war situation between the Mongols and the Southern Song Dynasty and command heroes to fight the enemy.
It would be more appropriate for Huang Rong to assume the position of leader of the alliance.
Suddenly, an old man with a white beard stood up.
"Chief Li's culinary skills are extraordinary, and his martial arts are unparalleled, which is admirable! However, Chief Li's whereabouts are hard to find, and he is like a dragon whose head is seen but not its tail. If there is an emergency, how can Chief Li lead us to resist the foreign enemy in time?"
Instantly, it garnered the approval of some people.
The white-bearded old man continued, "I recommend the great hero Guo Jing! He grew up on the Mongolian grasslands and knows his enemies inside and out!"
A thin, dark-skinned man suddenly stood up: "Master Guo is the Golden Knife Prince Consort of Mongolia, who married Hua Zheng, the daughter of Genghis Khan. By seniority, Kublai Khan calls Master Guo his uncle!"
"It is conceivable that Guo Jing had an extremely close relationship with the Mongol Tartars. Could he really put righteousness before family? Could he bear to abandon his wife and children and kill the Mongol Tartars?"
There was a lot of discussion at the scene.
Guo Jing looked embarrassed, his thick eyebrows furrowed.
Li Huan understood that Guo Jing had aged considerably in recent years, undoubtedly due to his worries and anxieties about "Hua Zheng and I being husband and wife, yet being enemies with the Mongols."
Unless Hua Zheng severs all ties with Mongolia, leaves the grasslands, and lives in seclusion on Peach Blossom Island.
Clearly, Hua Zheng is currently unable to do so, which is why Guo Jing is in a dilemma.
"Miss Huang is resourceful and wise, and she is also the beloved disciple of Chief Hong. I recommend Miss Huang!"
"Master Lu is a righteous and kind-hearted man. I recommend Master Lu!"
"I recommend Master Ma as the leader of the Quanzhen Sect!"
"I recommend Master Qiu!"
...
Everyone expressed their opinions, and some even argued.
Waaaaah...
The sound of bugles rang out again outside the courtyard.
Lu Youjiao roared angrily, "Who's blowing the horn! Hasn't that rotten horn been smashed yet?"
Immediately afterwards, the sound of striking a chime could be heard.
Upon hearing this, Lu Guanying hurriedly said, "A distinguished guest has arrived!"
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of people walked in from the entrance of the hall.
Li Huan looked closely and saw that the young man in front of him, who was waving a folding fan, was none other than Huo Du!
