Faced with Zhu Biao's questioning, Hu Sanniang was a little stunned.
Strange, why did I remind Li Huan?
Seeing his fiancée siding with outsiders, Zhu Biao was both shocked and furious!
He roared and pounced on Li Huan, as if Mount Tai were pressing down on him!
Li Huan calmly responded to the challenge, using a move called "using four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds" to throw Zhu Biao more than five meters away!
Before he could fall, Zhu Biao twisted his waist and did a 360-degree spin, landing firmly on both feet.
"Good!" the soldiers cheered in unison.
Zhu Chaofeng stroked his beard, a smile on his face, and nodded approvingly.
At this moment, Zhu Long leaped into the air and kicked Li Huan straight in the chest!
Unexpectedly, Li Huan neither dodged nor flinched, but instead met Zhu Long's foot with his chest, knocking him down and sending him sprawling on his back.
Everyone gasped in surprise!
Zhu Biao charged towards Li Huan, his attacks vicious and aimed at Li Huan's vital points.
Damn it!
Li Huan's anger flared up, and with a combination of offense and defense, he instantly neutralized Zhu Biao's attack, slapping Zhu Biao across the face so hard that he spun around on the spot, seeing stars.
Smack! Smack!
Li Huan slapped Zhu Biao twice more, the slaps ringing out loudly.
*Pfft!* Zhu Biao coughed up blood, along with a front tooth, and staggered back several steps, feeling dizzy. He was caught by Zhuang Bing in time.
The scene fell silent.
Among the "Three Heroes of the Zhu Family," Zhu Biao was the strongest fighter, followed by Zhu Long, and Zhu Hu was the weakest.
At this moment, Zhu Biao was completely outmatched by Li Huan, and Zhu Long and Zhu Hu were wary and dared not continue their attack.
Li Huan smiled calmly, put his hands behind his back, and said loudly.
"I originally intended to be friends with you, but all I got in return was bullying and humiliation! I'm not pretending anymore. Besides my exceptional cooking skills, I'm also a master of martial arts! I'm laying my cards on the table!"
Zhu Chaofeng looked embarrassed and clenched his fists.
Hu Sanniang hurried to Zhu Biao's side to check his injuries.
Zhu Biao's cheeks were purplish-black, with several finger marks protruding from them, and his handsome face was swollen like a pig's face.
Hu Sanniang took out a handkerchief from her waist and wiped the blood from the corner of Zhu Biao's mouth.
Then, Hu Sanniang turned around and glared at Li Huan.
"I brought you to Zhujiazhuang and had you set up a stall to sell boxed lunches, not for you to hurt anyone!"
Li Huan said, "If I don't hurt others, others will hurt me!"
Knowing she was in the wrong, Hu Sanniang had no reply.
Zhu Chaofeng jumped to his feet: "Come on! Seize Li Huan and Wu Song!"
Instantly, the soldiers raised their swords, spears, and clubs, preparing to launch an attack.
Li Huan had anticipated this situation and darted in front of Hu Sanniang and Zhu Biao, grabbing them by the throat!
"Who dares to come near!"
Li Huan shouted, and his men exerted force.
Hu Sanniang and Zhu Biao were unable to resist, and their lives were firmly in Li Huan's hands.
Wu Song took out a steel knife from the carriage and held it to Zhu Biao's neck.
Zhu Chaofeng was shocked and quickly ordered the soldiers to stop.
Li Huan threatened sharply, "Master Zhu, you want to gang up on us? I'm ready! Before I start my killing spree, I'll chop off Zhu Biao's head first!"
Zhu Chaofeng hurriedly said, "Don't hurt my son!"
Li Huan released Zhu Biao's throat and deliberately said, "After I kill Zhu Biao, I will kidnap Hu Sanniang and marry her!"
Zhu Biao cursed, "You bastard! Third Sister is my fiancée. If you dare touch a hair on her head, I'll fight you to the death!"
Li Huan slapped Zhu Biao across the face, causing his nose to bleed!
Then, Li Huan lifted Hu Sanniang's hair.
"Look, I touched a handful of Third Sister's hair, and you're going to fight me like a madman!"
Zhu Biao's eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Li Huan, but he was afraid of Wu Song's steel blade and dared not move.
Hu Sanniang was both ashamed and angry, filled with regret, realizing she shouldn't have brought Li Huan to the Zhu Family Village.
Zhu Chaofeng exclaimed, "Hero, please calm down! My son has a violent temper and has offended you! I have failed to discipline him properly and am truly ashamed! To express my apology, I am willing to buy ten boxed meals!"
Seeing that Zhu Chaofeng had given in, Li Huan seized the opportunity and said, "If you're willing to buy, I won't sell! Who the hell cares about a mere thousand taels of silver!"
Zhu Chaofeng is a seasoned veteran; how could he not understand?
He hurriedly said, "I am willing to buy fifty boxed meals, please forgive me, sir!"
Five thousand taels of silver showed great sincerity.
But it's far from Li Huan's goal.
He declared loudly, "If a son is not taught, it is the father's fault! To teach Master Zhu a lesson, we must buy a thousand boxed meals and distribute them to every household in Zhu Family Manor!"
Wow! Exclamations of surprise rang out from the surroundings.
The villagers who had come to watch the spectacle all showed expressions of delight.
Zhu Chaofeng's eyes burned with rage, and the muscles in his face trembled.
Zhu Biao, Zhu Long, and Zhu Hu were furious.
Hu Sanniang was astonished; she hadn't expected Li Huan to have such a huge appetite!
One thousand boxed meals, totaling one hundred thousand taels of silver.
This sum of money is equal to the amount in the Hu Family Village's treasury.
Zhu Long shouted, "This fellow didn't come to my Zhu Family Village today to set up a stall and sell boxed lunches. He's clearly here to cause trouble and extort money!"
Zhu Biao also shouted, "Third Sister has been deceived by Li Huan! That Flea on the Drum, Shi Qian, must be Li Huan's accomplice. He deliberately stole Third Sister's silver and then had Wu Song pretend to capture Shi Qian in order to gain Third Sister's trust!"
Li Huan and Wu Song burst into laughter.
Hu Sanniang almost burst out laughing, but luckily Li Huan still held her neck in his hand.
Li Huan said to Zhu Biao, "You're a real genius! Since you're so smart, why don't you spend some money to buy a lowly ninth-rank official position and sit in court to judge cases?"
"I regard fame and fortune as dirt!" Zhu Biao proudly raised his head, then glared and cursed, "Whether I preside over a case or not is none of your business!"
Zhu Chaofeng coughed a few times and scolded Zhu Biao: "My son, don't be rude!"
Zhu Biao shut his mouth in resentment, harboring hatred for Li Huan.
Zhu Chaofeng clasped his hands and said, "The hero asked me to buy a thousand boxed meals to distribute to you farmers. How could I dare to refuse?"
