Zhou Yu raised his head and spoke loudly.
"Li Huan! If you go to Xuchang again to set up a stall selling boxed lunches and earn three hundred taels of gold from Cao Cao, I will be convinced, come to your door to apologize, pay off the previous meal expenses, and offer you one thousand taels of gold!"
After hearing this, Li Huan couldn't help but sneer.
Sure enough, Zhou Yu had no good intentions.
This isn't a bet, it's sending me to my death!
"You scoundrel!" Wu Guotai roared, "Governor Zhou, your malicious harassment of Li Huan is far too cruel!"
"Cao Cao lost his left eye, lost Jiangling, and was forced to retreat. He must hate Li Huan to the core!"
"By encouraging Li Huan to sell boxed lunches in Xudu, you're essentially sending him into a trap. How can he possibly make any money?"
Zhou Yu hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Madam, please calm your anger! Li Huan is resourceful and wise; if..."
"Shut up!" Wu Guotai's face turned red with anger.
"Stop making excuses! You're trying to take advantage of this to kill Li Huan. Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? How could I not know?"
"I thought you were petty, but who knew you were so narrow-minded, vindictive, and utterly wicked!"
"I once told Zhongmou that when making decisions on important military matters, one should listen to Gongjin's advice. Now it seems I was blind!"
These stern words filled Zhou Yu with trepidation, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.
He had intended to use his cunning to deal with Li Huan, but instead, he was reprimanded by Wu Guotai.
At this moment, Sun Shangxiang's eyes were filled with disdain.
Xiao Qiao's gaze towards Zhou Yu also revealed a hint of dissatisfaction.
Li Huan suddenly said, "Actually, I can go back to Xudu and set up a stall to sell boxed lunches."
Wu Guotai, Sun Shangxiang, and Xiao Qiao were surprised, and Zhao Zilong was also taken aback.
Zhou Yu was overjoyed; he hadn't expected things to turn around so easily, and the other side had taken the bait!
Li Huan smiled calmly: "However, please have Governor Zhou come with me to Xuchang!"
Zhou Yu was taken aback: "Why...why should I go to Xudu with you?"
Li Huan said, "That day we made a bet, and you had Lu Su as a witness, but you went back on your word! This time, I'm inviting you to Xuchang to personally witness me sell thirty boxed meals and earn three hundred taels of gold from Cao Cao!"
Zhou Yu was in the wrong and was speechless.
Li Huan continued, "Moreover, when Zhuge Liang accompanied me to Xuchang, he not only helped me sell boxed lunches to deal with Cao Cao, but also devised a plan to rescue the divine physician Hua Tuo from Cao Cao's clutches!"
"Governor Zhou, I wonder if you have the courage of Zhuge Liang to accompany me to Xuchang to set up a stall selling boxed lunches?"
Instantly, Zhou Yu's expression became more unpleasant than if he had swallowed a fly.
Refusing is tantamount to admitting that you are cowardly and timid.
If you agree, it's tantamount to going to your death with Li Huan.
dilemma!
Zhou Yu frowned, looking as if he wanted to slap himself hard!
Sun Shangxiang sneered, "Why won't Commander Zhou agree? Do you perhaps think you're inferior to Zhuge Liang and a cowardly incompetent fool?"
The word "coward" was like a dagger piercing Zhou Yu's heart.
Zhou Yu gritted his teeth, his facial muscles trembled, and his shoulders began to shake.
Li Huan said, "Xiang, how could you call Governor Zhou a coward? It's not good to expose his shortcomings in public!"
Suddenly, Zhou Yu clutched his ribs, let out a howl, and fell backward to the ground!
"Zhou Lang!" Xiao Qiao exclaimed.
Two guards hurriedly helped Zhou Yu up, but he still clutched his ribs and kept his eyes closed.
Wu Guotai: "Has Commander Zhou ever been injured?"
The guard replied, "Reporting to the Madam! The Grand Commander led troops in a surprise attack on Cao Cao's camp and was shot in the left rib by an arrow. His wound has not yet healed."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qiao quickly descended from the tower.
Seeing this, Li Huan sighed, knowing that he definitely wouldn't get the money for fifty boxed meals today.
It doesn't matter; the goal of teasing Zhou Yu has been achieved, and he's even angered him to the point that his wounds have reopened.
When attending Wu Guotai's birthday banquet, continue to deal with Zhou Yu and make him obediently hand over five hundred taels of gold.
Li Huan clasped his hands and said, "Thank you for upholding justice, Madam! We will be celebrating your birthday the day after tomorrow. Please enjoy the delicious food!"
Wu Guotai hurriedly reminded her, "I don't have any dietary restrictions; I like spicy, sweet and sour, salty and savory foods, and so on."
Li Huan laughed and said, "Okay, I will use my best skills to make sure that the old lady eats comfortably and happily."
After saying this, Li Huan took his leave and led Zhao Zilong down the tower.
The two ignored Zhou Yu and left the temple.
...
The following day.
Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, and Zhang Fei, leading 500 soldiers, arrived in Wu County.
Zhou Yu was recuperating at home and unable to go out, so Lu Su was in charge of welcoming Liu Bei.
Upon learning that Li Huan and Zhao Zilong were staying at an inn, Liu Bei, without even going to the Wu Marquis's residence to visit Zhou Yu, first had Lu Su lead the way and hurriedly arrived at the inn.
Upon seeing the red electric tricycle in the courtyard, Zhang Fei shouted excitedly.
"Li Huan! Zilong! We're here!"
Upon hearing Zhang Fei's voice, Zhao Zilong immediately went downstairs and led Liu Bei and the others into Li Huan's room.
At this moment, Li Huan was examining his phone, wondering why its battery was dropping so slowly, still at 50%.
"Brother Huan!" Zhuge Liang greeted him warmly.
Li Huan put his phone into his waist bag and exchanged a few pleasantries.
Liu Bei looked around, seemingly dissatisfied with the room's quality.
He asked Lu Su, "Why doesn't Governor Zhou invite Mr. Li Huan to stay at his residence?"
Lu Su looked helpless: "Gongjin hates Mr. Li Huan so much he wants to eat his flesh and tear him apart. How could he invite him to live in his mansion and treat him as an honored guest?"
Zhuge Liang said with a smile, "Brother Huan, you must not have received payment for fifty boxed lunches!"
Li Huan said, "Not only did we not get it, but Brother Long and I also fought against Zhou Yu!"
He succinctly described how Zhou Yu surrounded the inn and fainted from anger at the Bao'en Temple.
After hearing this, Zhang Fei glared angrily and said, "Shameless Zhou Yu! Not only does he refuse to admit his mistake, but he also seeks malicious revenge. How could such a despicable person be trusted by Sun Quan!"
