Zhao Qiansun not only didn't mind the high price of the boxed lunch, but also wanted to buy it for Granny Tan, showing his generosity.
It is obvious that Zhao Qiansun deliberately provoked Tan Gong.
Before Granny Tan could respond, Elder Xu hurriedly said, "Madam Ma has arrived, please invite her..."
"Zhao Qiansun!" Li Huan deliberately interrupted Elder Xu, "How many boxed meals do you want to buy?"
Tan Gong was displeased and glared at Li Huan: "You little merchant, an unknown nobody, if you dare to utter another word, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Li Huan retorted, "Old Tan, what are you doing acting so arrogantly? You're unwilling to spend money to buy your wife a boxed lunch, yet you're trying to stop Zhao Qiansun? Are you jealous of Zhao Qiansun?"
Tan Gong's eyes widened: "Me, jealous of Zhao Qiansun? Ridiculous! What is there for me to be jealous of!"
Li Huan said, "Look, as soon as Zhao Qiansun showed up, Granny Tan greeted him warmly, which shows that they have a close relationship!"
Granny Tan hurriedly said, "Young man, stop talking nonsense. I am Zhao Qiansun's junior sister. How could I not say a word when I see him?"
Li Huan said, "You only called Zhao Qiansun 'Senior Brother,' and Master Tan immediately put on a stern face. He was clearly jealous and possessive!"
"You bastard!" Tan Gong roared, his eyes blazing with fury. "Where did this brat come from, daring to act so insolently here!"
Elder Xu was also displeased: "Guards, drive this vendor away!"
Bai Shijing said helplessly, "I just ordered my disciples to drive them away, but this peddler is extremely cunning and hid on the roof of the cart."
Elder Xu said, "Does hiding on the roof of the carriage mean we can't deal with him? Doesn't our Beggars' Sect have any experts?"
Bai Shijing looked at Qiao Feng: "The leader ordered that we must not bully the weak, so I ordered my disciples to push the cart!"
Elder Xu said, "If you're pushing a cart, why is the vendor still here?"
Bai Shijing said, "Strangely, the vendor's tricycle is difficult to move!"
Elder Xu frowned slightly: "If you can't push it, then move it!"
Bai Shijing said, "I also ordered my disciples to lift the cart with all their might, but the cart was extremely heavy and the disciples could not bear it, and they were all injured."
Elder Xu exclaimed in astonishment: "This cart is extremely heavy? How many disciples are needed to move it?"
Bai Shijing replied, "Nineteen disciples in total."
Elder Xu was even more shocked: "Nineteen disciples couldn't move a cart? Didn't they have enough to eat?"
"Hahaha..." Bao Butong and Feng Bo laughed maliciously.
Bai Shijing looked embarrassed.
Zhao Qiansun said, "I understand now. When the Beggars' Sect disciples were moving the cart, they smelled the aroma of the food and were so hungry that they couldn't muster any strength! This shows that they were indeed starving!"
"I think the Beggars' Sect should buy food first, let the disciples have a good meal, and then move the vendor's cart away!"
"Hahaha..." Bao Butong and Feng Bo'e laughed loudly again.
Wang Yuyan, Azhu, and Abi couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Li Huan said, "Zhao Qiansun, are you going to buy the boxed lunch or not?"
Zhao Qiansun hurriedly took out two gold ingots and handed them to Li Huan: "Quickly serve the food!"
These two gold ingots are worth two hundred taels of silver, enough to buy two boxed meals.
Li Huan put away the gold and pointed to the dining table next to him: "Please have a seat, sir!"
Zhao Qiansun hurriedly said to Granny Tan, "Xiao Juan, sit here quickly, let's enjoy the delicious food together."
Tan Gong coughed a few times, reminding Tan Po.
Zhao Qiansun scolded, "What the hell are you coughing about! You're unwilling to spend money, but you won't even let Xiaojuan have a taste?"
Tan Gong angrily said, "The Beggars' Sect has important matters to attend to, and specially invited you here. The matters have not been resolved yet, how can you sit down to eat?"
Zhao Qiansun pointed at Tan Gong: "Stop making excuses! You clearly don't want Xiao Juan to eat the food I bought!"
Mr. Tan clenched his fists in anger and said to Mrs. Tan, "Ah Hui, if you don't stop him from acting crazy and making a scene, I'm going to lose my temper!"
Granny Tan said, "My senior brother kindly bought me food, why should I stop him? Besides, isn't his madness caused by you?"
Tan Gong was stunned: "I...when did I harm him?"
Li Huan suddenly interjected: "Of course Zhao Qiansun is unhappy that Granny Tan married an old geezer like you!"
Tan Gong retorted: "Nonsense! When Ahui married me, I was neither bad nor old!"
Li Huan said, "Judging from your tone, you seemed to be quite handsome when you were young?"
Tan Gong raised his head: "He's not exactly handsome, but he's definitely more dashing than Zhao Qiansun!"
"Bah!" Zhao Qiansun retorted angrily. "How could you compare to me when you were young? When my master was alive, he doted on me and always treated me like a son! Xiaojuan and I were a match made in heaven, but who knew that you would steal Xiaojuan away!"
Tan Gong was so angry his nose almost twisted: "When did I ever steal from Ah Hui? Don't you dare slander me!"
Seeing the two old men arguing over an old woman, the Beggars' Sect disciples burst into laughter.
Qiao Feng couldn't bear to watch any longer and clasped his hands in greeting, asking, "Madam Ma, what brings you here?"
Kang Min said, "When I was sorting through my late husband's belongings, I found a letter..."
Immediately afterwards, Elder Xu untied his bundle, opened it, and took out a letter.
Li Huan knew that the letter was written by the "Big Brother" and sent to the former gang leader, Wang Jiantong. The contents of the letter revealed Qiao Feng's background.
Elder Xu said, "This matter is of great importance. I have invited Brother Shan, the Iron-Faced Judge of Taihang Mountain, to be my witness. I opened this letter in his presence!"
Shan Zheng nodded: "I saw it with my own eyes; Elder Xu opened the letter."
Elder Xu said, "The contents of the letter involve the gang leader Qiao Feng, so I invited the Tan couple from Chongxiao Cave to testify! And Tan Po's senior brother personally experienced what was described in the letter back then!"
"Amitabha!"
A Buddhist chant was heard.
From the woods to the right, an old monk dressed in a gray robe appeared and strode toward the group.
Master Zhiguang of Tiantai Mountain!
Li Huan knew that after the old monk appeared, he would recount the tragedy that occurred in the Luanshi Valley outside Yanmen Pass with Zhao Qiansun.
Moreover, Master Zhiguang would protect the "leader" by eating the signature on the letter to prevent Qiao Feng from knowing the leader's identity.
In order to find out his true identity, Qiao Feng's fate began to turn, transforming him from a respected leader of the Beggars' Sect into an enemy of the Central Plains martial arts world, and then into a fierce battle against numerous masters at Juxian Manor.
It will be quite difficult for Li Huan to change Qiao Feng's fate.
First of all, Elder Xu, Kang Min, and Quan Guanqing already knew that Qiao Feng was a Khitan.
Bloodline and race cannot be changed.
After Qiao Feng went to Yanmen Pass and accepted that he was a Khitan from the Liao Kingdom, his desperate pursuit of the "leader" was the catalyst that plunged him into the abyss of fate.
Therefore, Li Huan decided not to let Qiao Feng investigate the "ringleader".
At this moment, Master Zhiguang, holding a letter, recounted the details of the great battle in the Luanshi Valley outside Yanmen Pass thirty years ago.
The room was quiet, and everyone listened intently.
Master Zhiguang said, "Our leader led us forward and slaughtered all the Khitan warriors. Suddenly, we heard the sound of hooves again, and two people came galloping from the northwest corner! There was a man and a woman on horseback, and the man was burly..."
At the crucial moment, Li Huan grabbed a ladle and banged it against the food bucket.
Clang! Clang clang!
"Boxed lunches for sale! Boxed lunches for sale! Delicious boxed lunches!"
