Hua Rong stared in disbelief.
"The Three Kingdoms era? Brother Li Huan, don't tease your little brother..."
Li Huan reached out and picked up Hua Rong, dragging him to the front yard of the East Mansion.
"Open your eyes wide and look at the style of these houses, and then look at the attire of those maids. Isn't this still from the Song Dynasty?"
Hua Rong stared intently, even more astonished.
"It really isn't the Song Dynasty... We've actually traveled back nine hundred years... Unbelievable! My brother's magic is divine... truly divine..."
Li Huan said, "Stop talking nonsense! Come with me to see Zhuge Liang!"
Hua Rong composed himself and hurriedly asked, "Whose residence is this? Why do we need to see Zhuge Liang? Please tell me, brother, so I can be prepared."
Li Huan explained, "This is the Eastern Mansion, a residence given to me by Sun Quan because I married Sun Shangxiang and became the son-in-law of Eastern Wu!"
Hua Rong was taken aback, then quickly gave a thumbs up: "Brother, you are truly skilled! You've become Sun Quan's brother-in-law!"
Li Huan continued, "I am not only Sun Quan's brother-in-law, but also Zhuge Liang's sworn brother!"
Hua Rong was even more shocked.
"Of all the figures in the Three Kingdoms period, I admire and respect Zhuge Liang the most!"
Li Huan said, "I didn't kill you at Liangshan before, just so I could take you to see Zhuge Liang, so you could follow his orders, fight on the battlefield, and atone for your crimes!"
Hua Rong understood and quickly clasped his hands in thanks: "Thank you for sparing my life, brother. I will obey Zhuge Liang's orders and go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Li Huan laughed and said, "You are willing to go through fire and water, but you must not die. Once you have made meritorious contributions, you can return to Liangshan Marsh in the Song Dynasty, and I will forgive you for the crime of shooting Chao Gai!"
"If you act recklessly in the Three Kingdoms period and disobey Zhuge Liang's orders, I will use my magic to send you to the Qin Dynasty to work as a laborer building the Great Wall, and then turn you into a terracotta warrior to be buried with Qin Shi Huang!"
Upon hearing this, Hua Rong hurriedly knelt down.
"I, Hua Rong, swear to the heavens that I will remember Brother Li Huan's teachings and obey Zhuge Liang's orders. If I dare to disobey, may I be struck by lightning and pierced by ten thousand arrows!"
Li Huan instructed him, "While you are in the Three Kingdoms period, you must keep your mouth shut and not tell anyone that you come from the Song Dynasty!"
Hua Rong laughed and said, "Please rest assured, brother, I will never reveal my identity! Even if I did, who would believe me!"
That's true.
Li Huan led Hua Rong back to the hall.
Zhuge Liang, Zhao Zilong, and Lu Su were drinking merrily.
Upon seeing Hua Rong, Sun Shangxiang hurriedly asked, "Li Lang, who is he?"
Li Huan said, "His surname is Hua and his given name is Rong. He is my newly recruited personal bodyguard."
Next, Li Huan introduced Sun Shangxiang, Zhuge Liang, Zhao Zilong, and Lu Su to Hua Rong.
Hua Rong clasped his hands in a respectful greeting.
Zhuge Liang, his face flushed from drinking, looked Hua Rong up and down.
"Hua Rong is a handsome man. He must be exceptionally skilled in martial arts to be Huan Di's personal bodyguard."
In an instant, a look of pride flashed in Hua Rong's eyes.
Li Huan said, "Hua Rong is an excellent horseman, skilled with a silver spear, and especially adept at archery, able to hit a willow leaf from a hundred paces away!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Shangxiang became interested: "A hundred paces and a willow leaf? I want to see it!"
Hua Rong hurriedly said, "My archery skills are mediocre at best; how dare I show off in front of you, Madam?"
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Li Huan picked up the paper cup, walked up to Lu Su, and placed the paper cup upside down on top of his hat.
"Hua Rong! If you can shoot the cup from a hundred paces away, I'll reward you with a boxed lunch!"
Hua Rong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted, "Bring me a bow and arrows!"
Lu Su was so frightened that he was completely sober, and hurriedly said, "Absolutely not! If anything goes wrong, I'll be dead!"
Zhuge Liang laughed and said, "Zijing, don't be afraid. How could Huan Di harm you?"
Li Huan laughed and said, "When Hua Rong shoots an arrow into the paper cup, I'll give you a bottle of Coke!"
"Cola?" Lu Su asked curiously.
Li Huan said, "Cola is also a specialty of overseas countries. It tastes sweet and is extremely refreshing. After drinking it, you will not only feel refreshed, but also happy!"
After hearing this, Lu Su smacked his lips in anticipation.
At this moment, the female guard brought a bow and arrow and handed them to Hua Rong.
He strode out of the hall and stood in the courtyard, about sixty meters away from Lu Su.
Li Huan knew that the distance in the Olympic archery competition was seventy meters. To hit the bullseye, one needed not only superb shooting skills, but also a good feel for the ball and a bit of luck.
If Hua Rong could shoot the paper cup on Lu Su's head with an arrow, he could definitely participate in the Olympics and win a gold medal!
He drew his bow, nocked an arrow, and aimed at Lu Su.
"Mr. Li Huan, could you please give me two bottles of Coke...?"
Before Lu Su could finish speaking, whoosh! A sharp arrow flew by and knocked the paper cup down!
“Excellent!” Sun Shangxiang exclaimed, slapping the table in praise.
Lu Su shuddered, involuntarily raised his hand to touch his head, and then grinned, "Excellent archery!"
Zhuge Liang also praised, "Hua Rong is truly a divine archer!"
Zhao Zilong nodded admiringly: "Hua Rong's archery skills are superior to mine!"
Sun Shangxiang exclaimed, "I have loved archery since I was a child and have practiced diligently for ten years, but I still cannot reach the level of hitting a willow leaf from a hundred paces away. Hua Rong's archery skills are truly superb!"
Hua Rong walked into the hall with his head held high, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "I have made a fool of myself."
His tone was humble, but his expression was smug.
Li Huan picked up a boxed lunch and gave it to Hua Rong, telling him to sit down and eat and drink.
Lu Su quickly reached out his hand: "Cola!"
Li Huan walked out of the hall with a smile, took a case of Coke from the electric tricycle, and distributed it to Lu Su and the others.
Tasting the cola, Lu Su exclaimed how refreshing it was and let out a loud burp.
Sun Shangxiang, Zhuge Liang, and Zhao Zilong drank the cola and praised it highly.
Li Huan said to Zhuge Liang, "Tomorrow, I will take Xiangmei away from Eastern Wu to travel to foreign lands! Hua Rong will follow Brother Liang and obey his orders!"
