Just as Yang Guo was about to answer, Xiaolongnu stepped forward.
"Leader Li! My senior sister focused on killing enemies last year and never had any conflict with me."
Now, Xiaolongnu is much thinner than she was on the day of her wedding in the Valley of Heartbreak, and has regained her original slender figure, with her face also becoming smaller.
This shows that Xiaolongnu fought bravely and tirelessly in Xiangyang City.
Li Mochou said sincerely, "Not only did I not make things difficult for my junior sister, but we also got along well."
Li Huan was very satisfied and said with a smile, "My disciple has done well. Keep up the good work! Here, take your pills!"
Li Mochou thanked him excitedly, took the "relief pill" from Li Huan's palm, and quickly swallowed it.
Li Huan took out two more "relief pills" and asked slowly.
"Gongsun Zhi, Qiu Qianchi! How much poison did you two concoct last year using the Love Flower's poison?"
"110,000!!" Gongsun Zhi answered loudly.
Qiu Qianchi chuckled: "Not only did I use the Love Flower to make poison, but I also instructed Fan Yiweng to pick the Heartbreak Grass and extract over a hundred catties of its venom, which can be used to soak poisoned arrows!"
Huang Rong said, "I ordered the soldiers guarding the city to fire poisoned arrows, killing at least 20,000 Mongol soldiers who died from the deadly poison of the Heartbreak Grass!"
Li Huan praised, "Very good, very good!"
Li Fu asked, "Father, since the venom can be extracted from the Love Flower and the Heartbreak Grass, why did you still let Gongsun Zhi pick the Love Flower and refine it into a poison pill?"
Li Huan explained, "The pills made from highly poisonous substances can not only be carried around, but also preserved for a long time. When needed, the pills can be crushed and sprinkled into water to make the poison!"
Li Fu suddenly realized: "Father has thought this through so well!"
Li Huan said, "Gongsun Zhi, you exceeded your target for refining the 'Love Flower Poison Pill' last year. Keep up the good work this year! Here's a 'Relief Pill' from the 'Life and Death Talisman' for you!"
Gongsun Zhi bowed and scraped: "Thank you, Alliance Leader!"
He quickly took the "relief pill" and swallowed it.
Li Huan said, "Qiu Qianchi, you not only completed the task of refining the 'Love Flower Poison Pill,' but you also used the Heartbreak Grass to refine poison. Your attitude was upright and proactive, and you deserve a reward!"
Qiu Qianchi beamed from ear to ear: "Thank you, Alliance Leader! Thank you, Alliance Leader!"
Gongsun Lü'e reached out and took the "relief pill," then fed it to Qiu Qianchi.
Li Huan said loudly, "Li Mochou! If your performance this year satisfies me, I will remove the 'Life and Death Talisman' from your body next year and teach you the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra!"
Li Mochou hurriedly knelt down on both knees: "Please rest assured, Master, your disciple will do her utmost to kill the enemy!"
Li Huan said, "Gongsun Zhi, Qiu Qianchi, besides killing enemies this year, you two also need to refine more poisons. Don't slack off!!"
Gongsun Zhi and Qiu Qianchi clasped their hands in obedience and solemnly made their promise.
Huang Yaoshi stroked his beard and said with a smile, "My dear son-in-law, after the Food Festival, please use the 'Life and Death Talisman' to broaden my horizons!"
Li Huan raised his eyebrows slightly: "We don't need to wait for the conference to end; we can cast the 'Life and Death Talisman' very soon!"
"Oh?" Huang Yaoshi asked curiously, "My dear son-in-law, who do you intend to punish with the 'Life and Death Talisman'?"
Li Huan said, "Today's 'Huashan Culinary Tournament' has invited heroes from all walks of life, which will inevitably attract wicked villains! Father-in-law, please wait and see, there will surely be a good show!"
Beep beep! Beep beep!
The horn of an electric tricycle sounded.
Li Huan turned around, walked to the car window, and saw Zhou Botong sitting in the cockpit, fiddling with something.
"You old rascal!" Li Huan pulled open the car door. "Get out!"
Zhou Botong chuckled and said, "I haven't driven a tricycle in a year, my hands are itching! Where are the keys? Where are the keys..."
He looked down and searched, while simultaneously honking the horn.
Li Huan took out his car keys and shook them.
"Get out first. After the conference, I'll let you drive around!"
Zhou Botong said, "This time we'll not only be driving on the road, but also driving in the lake!"
Li Huan replied casually, "Sure, driving in the sea is no problem!"
Zhou Botong was very excited. As he got out of the car, he said, "When we get to the sea, we'll catch a shark. You ride the shark, and I'll drive the tricycle. Let's have a race and see who's faster!"
Holy crap!
Li Huan was both amused and exasperated.
Trying to outrun a shark while driving an electric tricycle? What a ridiculous idea that an old rascal like me could come up with!
Li Huan locked the car doors and quickly climbed onto the platform.
Master Yideng, the Southern Emperor; Ma Yu, the Danyangzi; Qiu Chuji, the Changchunzi; Lu Guanying, the Lu Family Village, and others stood up and bowed to Li Huan in greeting.
Li Huan exchanged a few pleasantries and looked around.
Where is Guo Jing?
Guo Jing was nowhere to be seen, either on or off the stage.
Huang Rong hurriedly said, "Ten days ago, Kublai Khan led the Mongol army to attack Xiangyang again, and the battle was extremely fierce!"
"With the combined efforts of all the heroes, we repelled the enemy. Kublai Khan, seeing the heavy losses, was forced to withdraw his troops from Xiangyang and return to Mongolia!"
"Brother Guo was worried, fearing that Kublai Khan might launch a surprise attack, so he and Lu Youjiao went to Mongolia to spy on military intelligence..."
Li Huan frowned slightly after hearing this.
"Kublai Khan was not willing to accept defeat at Xiangyang. After returning to Mongolia, he would definitely recruit soldiers and horses, make a comeback, and continue to attack Xiangyang!"
Qiu Chuji declared loudly, "Even if the Mongol army besieges Xiangyang for ten years, my Quanzhen Sect will do everything in its power to fight the Mongol Tartars to the bitter end!"
His tone was firm and forceful.
Inspired by the spirit of the crowd, they shouted in unison, vowing to defend Xiangyang City to the death.
Taking the opportunity, Li Huan said, "Today, we are holding the second 'Huashan Sword Competition Food Conference.' In addition to competing in martial arts and determining the best in the world, we also need to sell a large number of boxed meals!"
"I hereby solemnly announce that 500,000 taels of silver earned from selling boxed lunches at this conference will be donated to support Xiangyang City!"
The audience erupted in cheers.
Li Huan thought to himself, "Today's mission is to earn one million taels of silver."
These silver coins will be automatically converted into special system points, which can be used to redeem electric tricycles.
Therefore, if we want to provide 500,000 taels of silver to Xiangyang City, we must earn 1.5 million taels of silver!
Fortunately, I was prepared.
Before leaving Xiangyang, he specifically instructed Huang Rong that everyone participating in the second "Huashan Sword Tournament and Culinary Competition" must carry no less than two hundred taels of silver...
A horn sounded from below the square!
Li Huan's heart skipped a beat.
Holy crap, that bugle call sounds so familiar.
Huang Rong immediately became alert and gave Yang Guo a wink.
Immediately afterwards, a group of people appeared ahead and headed towards the square.
The leader was wearing a red monk's robe, was tall and thin, and had a sunken forehead.
The Mongolian Protector of the Nation, the Golden Wheel Dharma King!
The two disciples beside him were none other than Huo Du and Darba!
Behind them, up to a hundred strong Mongolian warriors carried twenty boxes.
Li Huan looked closely and was overjoyed.
Haha, I was just looking to make more money, and now the "super-rich" has arrived!
The Golden Wheel Monk's participation in the "Huashan Sword Tournament and Culinary Competition" is undoubtedly aimed at winning the title of "Number One in the World" and attempting to subdue the Central Plains martial arts world!
Since they've come, let's mistreat them...
