Hearing that Cao Cao's 100,000-strong army was about to attack Xinye, the crowd whispered among themselves.
Liu Bei couldn't believe it, and Guan Yu was also full of doubt.
Zhuge Liang hurriedly said, "Brother Huan's strategies are brilliant and his military intelligence is extremely reliable. Cao Cao will definitely send troops to attack!"
Li Huan asked, "Brother Liang, are you confident you can defeat Xiahou Dun?"
Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Xiahou Dun is nothing to fear. I have a plan to deal with him!"
Li Huan patted Zhuge Liang on the shoulder: "Good! Brother Liang, use your talents to fully assist Liu Bei!"
After saying that, Li Huan got into the car.
Zhuge Liang hurriedly asked, "Brother Huan, when will we meet again?"
Li Huan replied, "The day you go to Eastern Wu to 'ally with Sun Quan against Cao Cao' will be the day we brothers meet again!"
After saying that, Li Huan turned on the switch, quickly turned around, and sped away.
"System, activate the 'Fast Travel Channel' and send me to Eastern Wu to complete the third mission!"
Suddenly, a dazzling light appeared in front of them.
Liu Bei shaded his eyes with his hand, gazing into the distance.
He said in surprise, "I saw a flash of white light, and then Li Huan and the car disappeared."
Zhuge Liang laughed and said, "Brother Huan's speed is too fast, which inevitably makes the lord's eyes blur."
...
Whoosh!
Li Huan completed his time travel and arrived in Eastern Wu several months later.
The streets were bustling with pedestrians.
This is Wu County, the original capital of Eastern Wu, which is Suzhou.
As the saying goes, "Above is heaven, below are Suzhou and Hangzhou."
During the Three Kingdoms period, Wu Commandery was already a prosperous and wealthy place.
Li Huan drove slowly, honking the horn to remind pedestrians to give way.
"Look at this person, he's quite strange!"
"I've never seen the car he was in before."
"Look at his extremely short hair, he looks like a foreigner."
Everyone stared at Li Huan, pointing and whispering.
Li Huan asked loudly, "Where is Zhou Yu's home?"
An old man answered and kindly gave directions.
Before long, Li Huan drove to the vicinity of Zhou Yu's residence.
He stopped under the shade of a tree, set up a simple dining table and stools, and began to call out.
"Selling boxed lunches! Top-quality boxed lunches! Delicious-smelling boxed lunches!"
"Don't miss out, come and buy now!"
"Grand opening specials! Special prices and free fresh soup!"
A large crowd gathered, making it impossible to pass through.
Li Huan reached out and lifted the lid of the food bucket, revealing various dishes.
Braised pork trotters in soy sauce, steamed pork with lotus leaf, braised lion's head meatballs, and stir-fried eel back with shrimp.
Garlic cucumber, stir-fried green beans, braised eggplant, and stir-fried tofu with green peppers.
Upon witnessing the fragrant dishes, a chorus of exclamations erupted from the audience.
This time, Li Huan did not adopt a high-price strategy.
Two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes cost only fifty coins; four meat dishes and four vegetable dishes cost only one hundred coins.
Its purpose was to attract a large number of customers, thereby drawing Xiao Qiao in.
Soon, someone took out copper coins to buy a boxed meal.
Li Huan then shouted loudly, "Everyone who buys two boxed meals will receive a free bottle of beer!"
The cravings tempted everyone to open their wallets and rush to buy boxed lunches.
They started eating on the spot, reveling in the delicious food and praising it incessantly.
Li Huan announced loudly, "Today at noon, we are only providing 100 boxed lunches! Please spread the word and come buy them quickly, don't miss out!"
"I solemnly promise that as long as you bring your relatives and friends to buy boxed lunches, I will give you a braised lion's head meatball for free!"
Upon hearing this, everyone quickly packed up their lunchboxes and went to attract customers.
After a while, more people joined the line to buy boxed lunches.
While busy, Li Huan looked around, hoping that Xiao Qiao would appear.
After waiting a while longer, Xiao Qiao still did not appear.
Li Huan thought to himself, "This place is less than fifty meters from the Zhou residence."
With such a commotion, how could Xiao Qiao not be alerted?
Is she not home?
"Stadium owner! Leave some extra food! Don't sell it all!"
Urgent shouts rang out from outside the crowd.
It was a woman, and Li Huan's heart stirred slightly.
Immediately afterwards, someone squeezed in and got close to Li Huan.
She has delicate features, fair skin, a well-proportioned figure, and is at least 1.65 meters tall.
Upon closer inspection, Li Huan observed that the woman was about eighteen years old, with a delicate yet spirited air. Her attire resembled that of a military officer, clearly not an ordinary person.
Of course, it was definitely not Xiao Qiao.
"Who are you?" Li Huan asked directly.
The woman raised an eyebrow: "You don't recognize me?"
Li Huan smiled and said, "I'm new to your esteemed place and don't know anyone. Seeing how beautiful you are, I couldn't help but want to know your name."
The woman giggled.
The person next to her introduced, "This is General Wu Housun's sister!"
"Holy crap!" Li Huan blurted out a national treasure.
Laozi selling boxed lunches didn't attract Xiao Qiao, but it did attract Sun Quan's younger sister, Sun Shangxiang!
Sun Shangxiang was taken aback: "Holy crap? What do you mean?"
Li Huan snapped out of his daze and deliberately teased Sun Shangxiang.
"The word 'damn' is often used to express emotions when one is angry or happy!"
Sun Shangxiang said, "Judging from your attire, you must be from a foreign land. 'Holy crap' must be your hometown dialect?"
Li Huan nodded: "That's right! Miss Sun is incredibly intelligent!"
Sun Shangxiang lowered her head, staring at the eight dishes that looked and smelled delicious, and couldn't help but swallow.
"Street vendor, give me ten servings of food!"
Li Huan exclaimed in surprise, "No way! You can finish ten boxed meals? And here's a reminder, we're also giving away five bottles of wine!"
He knew that Sun Shangxiang was no less capable than any man and was hailed as the greatest female hero of the Three Kingdoms period.
With a single, astonishing arrow, she broke through the encirclement; a bow-wielding beauty, she could hit a target from a hundred paces away.
Sun Shangxiang is not only skilled in martial arts, but also an excellent archer.
However, no matter how powerful Sun Shangxiang is, she can't finish ten boxed meals and five bottles of beer in one meal.
This appetite is even more impressive than that of Zhang Fei and Guan Yu.
