Guo Jing bent down and picked up the chubby-faced little boy.
"Why didn't you listen to me when I told you to stay inside?"
The little boy pouted and said in a childish voice, "Daddy, I'm hungry!"
Li Huan hurriedly asked, "Junior brother, is he your and Hua Zheng's child?"
Guo Jing laughed and said, "Exactly!"
"Congratulations, junior brother!" Li Huan clasped his hands in a fist salute. "You have an heir!"
Guo Jing instructed his son, "Quickly call him 'Master Uncle'!"
The little boy looked at Li Huan and shouted, "Uncle-Master!"
So cute, not shy at all.
Li Huan reached out and stroked the little boy's head.
"May I have your name?"
"My name is Guo Polu!"
Li Huan was stunned.
Unexpectedly, Guo Jing and Hua Zheng had a son, and even more unexpectedly, the son's name was Guo Polu!
Guo Jing hurriedly explained, "My father named me 'Jing' to remind me of the humiliation of the Jingkang Incident! Therefore, I named my son 'Po Lu' to defeat the Tartars and protect the Song Dynasty!"
Li Huan patted Guo Jing on the shoulder: "Junior brother, you've matured. You're no longer the silly boy you used to be, but a loyal and patriotic hero!"
Guo Jing smiled and said, "Senior brother, you flatter me!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than another little girl ran out of the yard.
"Mommy! Mommy! What dish smells so good? I'm hungry!"
The little girl was about three or four years old, with fair and delicate skin, and was extremely cute.
She reached Huang Rong's side, looked up and asked, "Mom, why haven't you eaten yet?"
Li Huan's eyes widened in disbelief.
Huang Rong giggled and picked up the little girl: "Brother Huan, this is our daughter!"
Li Fu said with a smile, "Father, the second year after you left Peach Blossom Island, Mother gave birth to my little sister."
Huang Rong said, "I was going to tell you later and give you a surprise."
Li Huan was indeed both surprised and delighted.
Li Fu said, "Father, my sister's name is Li Xiang."
Li Huan hurriedly asked, "Li Xiang? Could it be that she was born in Xiangyang?"
Huang Rong nodded: "At the beginning of the year before last, I heard that Father was in Xiangyang, so I rushed to see him. Coincidentally, my daughter was born, so I named her Li Xiang."
Li Huan gazed at her youngest daughter, filled with emotion.
Huang Rong said, "Xiang'er, this is your father, call him quickly!"
Li Xiang fluttered her long eyelashes, looking a little shy.
"Father..."
Li Huan was excited and took Li Xiang from Huang Rong's arms, cherishing her dearly.
A legendary female warrior and the founder of the Emei Sect.
It turned out to be her own biological daughter.
Li Huan was so excited that he couldn't help but laugh out loud a few times.
Inspired by Li Huan, Li Xiang also started laughing.
Li Fu said, "Daddy, I'm taking my little sister to play in the car. She's always wanted to ride in Daddy's car."
Li Huan knew that Li Fu really enjoyed driving electric tricycles and must often talk to Li Xiang about the fun things that happened with them.
Li Huan put Li Xiang down, took two bottles of Sprite from the carriage, quickly unscrewed them, and handed them to Li Fu and Li Xiang respectively.
Immediately afterwards, Li Huan opened the car door and let Li Fu carry Li Xiang into the driver's seat.
"The car isn't running, so you two can sit inside and play."
Li Huan closed the car door and took Huang Rong's hand: "Rong'er, you've worked so hard these past few years."
Huang Rong smiled and said, "Fortunately, I didn't have to wait another ten years."
Guo Jing leaned closer and reminded him, "Senior Brother, let's catch up later."
Li Huan understood. He composed himself and looked around.
"On the occasion of the Heroes' Gathering, I'm setting up a stall in Lujiazhuang to sell boxed lunches!"
"First of all, in memory of the former leader of the Beggars' Sect, my mentor, Hong Qigong!"
Commemoration? Guo Jing and Huang Rong were taken aback.
Li Huan said directly, "My mentor, Hong Qigong, has passed away!"
Instantly, Lu Youjiao and the Beggars' Sect disciples exclaimed in unison.
"Impossible!" Guo Jing shook his head. "My master was a peerless martial artist and in excellent health. How could he have passed away?"
"Alas!" Li Huan sighed, "Master and Ouyang Feng fought with their internal energy and both perished."
After speaking, Li Huan looked at Yang Guo, signaling him to explain in front of everyone.
Yang Guo hesitated slightly, his eyes filled with surprise.
Hong Qigong and Ouyang Feng fought for twelve days at the summit of Mount Hua, exhausting their inner strength and dying in each other's arms. How did Uncle Li know this?
Yang Guo didn't have time to think much and immediately recounted in detail what had happened at the summit of Mount Hua.
"Chief Hong!" Lu Youjiao knelt down with a thud, tears streaming down his face.
The Beggars' Sect disciples also knelt down and wept bitterly.
Huang Rong was heartbroken and leaned on Li Huan's shoulder, sobbing incessantly.
Guo Jing knelt down, looked up to the sky and cried out, "Master! Master..."
Li Huan picked up a serving spoon, tapped the food container, and announced loudly.
"Today's four meat dishes and four vegetable dishes are all the dishes that Master Qi loved to eat when he was alive!"
"So, I came to the Heroes' Gathering to set up a stall and sell boxed lunches in memory of Lord Qi!"
"Heroes and heroines, please generously donate to buy boxed meals!"
"If you are short of money, you only need to pay twenty taels of silver! If you are generous, please pay more!"
The implication is that each boxed meal starts at twenty taels of silver.
Today, almost all of the three thousand people know that Li Huan's boxed meals at the "Huashan Sword Debate Food Conference" cost one hundred taels of silver each.
At this moment, a delicious boxed lunch can be had for just twenty taels of silver. Who wouldn't be tempted?
Besides, who wouldn't give face to the Beggars' Sect if they bought a boxed lunch to commemorate Hong Qigong?
In an instant, everyone took out their money to buy boxed meals.
Although the starting price was twenty taels of silver, many people gave at least fifty or one hundred taels.
The scene became lively.
The sounds of eating and drinking, and praise, were incessant.
Huang Rong and Guo Jing quickly assisted Li Huan in collecting the silver and serving the boxed meals.
