The man said proudly, as if he admired his cleverness. The person in charge of the assessment saw him tie the stone to his waist with a rope, and saw him holding the stone in his arms, holding the bamboo pole between his fingers, and jumping into the river with a thud before everyone could react

"Damn, why are you still standing, go down and get people!" Some onlookers shouted, it would be good to let the nearby soldiers go into the water to save people, and such a large current could swim, not to mention a person who couldn't swim, holding a stone of almost 100 catties

"Oh, oh, I'll go and come with me right away," said the person in charge ......of the assessment, suddenly opening his eyes wide and pointing to the river, and he didn't dare to speak in surprise.

The others looked at the past with their fingers, and there was an uproar, and a bamboo pole stretched out from the river, floating firmly and quickly upstream.

"How is this possible, how can you walk in the river with such a big rock?" Someone shouted in disbelief, and the people who assessed it ran while watching, and hurriedly reported the information to their superiors.

Everyone held their breath and stared intently at the river, this divine power is too amazing, right? Two hundred meters, one hundred and eighteen, one hundred and seventeen, although there was a slight stop in the middle, but it was as steady as a rock and did not retreat at all.

"Who is that? I can also use bamboo poles, which is quite smart. Cai Cong is also in the army, and when he saw so many people looking at the river, he immediately asked curiously, saying that he wanted to dive over, and dared to use props, this kind of person is bold and careful, brave to break the rules, and is a good person.

"Back to Master Hou, that kid is quite fated with the little one! His name is Chen Da Niu. The little soldier came to report that this kid couldn't swim in the water, so he jumped into the river with a hundred-pound boulder and relied on a bamboo pole to ventilate. Fang Niu said with a smile, but the shock in his eyes could not be concealed.

"So powerful? It is very good to be brave and resourceful, if he can cross the river, bring him to Ben Hou, and send someone to bring the two sixty-pound hammers in the arsenal. ”

Cai Cong raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, Fang Yuan hurriedly said yes, but he was also surprised in his heart, the two heavy hammers in the arsenal had been put for a few years, and no one could dance at all. Cai Cong has watched too much of the romance, thinking that the generals are all strong men, and ordered people to create such a batch of heavy and outrageous weapons.

At this time, Chen Daniu had almost walked the last ten meters, and everyone didn't dare to make a sound, looking at the river nervously, as if making a little movement would cause him to fail.

Finally, the bamboo pole touched the wooden bridge at the end of the road, and everyone cheered, the sound was like thunder, and everyone was too excited, it was a person who couldn't swim, holding a hundred and ten pounds of stones!

After a while, the bamboo pole sank to the bottom of the water, and Chen Daniu held the bamboo pole and surfaced like a corpse.

"Big, big brother, have I passed the test?" Chen Daniu grabbed the wooden bridge with difficulty and asked with great breath.

"Boy, you have passed the customs and performed very well, are you from Chang'an?" Fang Niu walked over with his hands on his chest and asked appreciatively.

"Lord Hui, I am from Chenjiatun in Wannian County."

"Okay, take clean clothes and change them for him, Master Hou wants to see him."

Fang Niu said loudly, and immediately a burly soldier lifted Chen Daniu out of the river with one hand.

"Master Hou, someone has already brought, do you want to see him?"

"Have you found out where it came from?"

Cai Cong said calmly, the surprise has passed, and he doesn't feel anything now. In later generations, there were many Hercules competitions, and it is not surprising that one or two occasionally appeared.

"I've checked, Wannian people, there is an old mother at home who depends on each other, and used to make a living by hunting and chopping wood, and then worked as a coolie in the cement workshop under your house. He is very honest on weekdays, and the steward of the workshop likes him very much. The others need to be sent to Wannian to find out. Fang Niu immediately bent down and said.

"Then go out and meet him, and send someone to Wannian to investigate." Cai Cong said with a smile, although it is not strange, but Hercules is a treasure in this era!

Chen Daniu stood in place and didn't dare to move, but Hou Ye said that the big man who only appeared in the book, could it be because he cheated that he wanted to see him.

"Hou Ye has arrived~"

"Stinky boy, when you see Master Hou, don't you still salute?" Fang Niu shouted at Chen Da Niu, and the frightened Chen Da Niu knelt on the ground with a puff: "The little one is going to meet Master Hou." ”

"Get up! Don't be so nervous, Ben Hou heard that you are infinitely powerful, and you can walk in the water with a hundred catties of boulders. Is it true? Cai Cong said gently, Chen Daniu trembled and didn't dare to stand up, lay on the ground and said: "Back to the eldest master, I, the little one has a lot of strength, and he just dragged the stone in the water." If you don't believe me, I'll show you again. Chen Daniu said excitedly, and then looked around to find a big stone to prove it.

"No, see? There are two hammers over there, you can try to get your hands on them. Cai Cong mouthed at him, and Chen Daniu stood up cautiously and walked towards the two hammers.

"Good stuff!"

Chen Daniu couldn't help but admire, and stretched out his hand to stroke the two hammers, the hammer handle was one meter long, and the hammer head was like a big gourd.

Chen Da Niu suddenly lifted the hammer and danced hard, only to see bursts of golden light, the wind whistling, everyone was dumbfounded, although it was just waving indiscriminately, but if anyone was hit by that, it didn't matter if you were wearing chain mail or light armor, you would be crushed and killed.

"To get this warrior, it can be said that a husband and a wife can't be opened." Cai Cong couldn't help but praise that if there was such a warrior as his personal guard, his safety would be much more guaranteed.

After a long time, Chen Daniu put down the hammer, stood aside with a flushed face and rubbed his hands, he seemed to be too presumptuous just now.

"What a warrior with a thousand strengths, how about this hammer?" Cai Cong admired with satisfaction and asked Chen Daniu gently.

"Good things, make it easy to handle, but it's lighter, not as heavy as my family's stone mill." Chen Daniu said shyly, Cai Cong's eyes lit up, and he picked up the treasure! This stone grinder costs hundreds of catties, no wonder he dragged a hundred and ten catties of stones in the water like playing.

"Okay, then this pair of hammers will be given to you, how about Ben Hou give you a pair of hundred-pound hammers in the future?"

"Thank you Master Hou, thank you Master Hou, can I be a soldier?"

"Of course you can, Ben Hou gives you two choices, one is to go to the pioneer battalion as a captain, I will bring you ten soldiers, as long as you make meritorious service, you will be promoted and rewarded; The second is to be a personal guard for Ben Hou to protect Ben Hou's safety, and he may not be able to go into battle to kill the enemy, but Ben Hou can't treat you badly, so you consider which one to choose. ”

Cai Cong said with a smile, everyone drooled with envy, which one of Cai Cong's personal guards was not a career, not to mention that Meng Baolai mixed up in Luoyang and didn't drive, just said that Xu Jie and Fang Yuan are now the second-in-command and third-in-command of the new army.

Seeing that Chen Daniu was still entangled, the others were all angry, and they couldn't wait to kick him away and replace him.

"Master Hou, I won't choose, but my mother said that I want to get ahead, I want to make military merits, or I go to war, so that I can make meritorious contributions and go back to filial piety to my mother."

Chen Daniu said honestly, feeling that he was not a thing, he had just taken someone's sledgehammer for nothing, and refused to be a guard for others.
