Holding the Chixiao Divine Sword flat, Ao Lie's hand holding the sword was as steady as a mountain, looking at Huang Zu and Huang Zhong who were kneeling on the ground, Ao Lie opened his mouth and said: "General Huang has a meritorious service in saving people, no need to be polite, get up." Huang Zhong stood up as he said, and then retreated behind Ao Lie.

Turning his gaze to Huang Zu, Ao Lie's voice suddenly became like a person who could freeze to death: "Huang Taishou, as an official of the imperial court, but you are lawless, when you run a horse on the street, you encounter an upright and loyal person to stop you, you don't think about your own mistakes, but want to be captured on the spot, Ben Hou asks you, are you guilty?" ”

Huang Zu felt Ao Lie's killing intent, and knew that the Dao Dao would never be good today, and he would fail to pass the test in a foolish way, which made him extremely hesitant in his heart. Just as he was about to open his mouth to say a few soft words, there was a sound of horses' hooves, and a slightly old voice shouted: "Virtuous nephew and sword to keep people!"

Hearing this voice, Huang Zu's heart fell suddenly, with the owner of this voice, he couldn't die today, and after turning around the ghost gate, he finally returned to the world.

A group of more than ten rode fast horses and came to a stop beside Ao Lie and the others. The first person turned over and dismounted, with a gray beard and a graceful bearing, who is it not Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao?

Seeing Liu Biao's arrival, Ao Lie had no choice but to put away the Chixiao Divine Sword, and bowed to Liu Biao: "See the state pastor." "In fact, in terms of grade, Ao Lie is a second-grade hussar general, Liu Biao is a first-grade Jingzhou pastor, but Ao Lie also has the title of champion marquis, in comparison, the status of the two can be said to be comparable, Ao Lie's salute to Liu Biao is completely out of courtesy, after all, Liu Biao is Ao Lie's elder of the same clan, and Ao Lie is still hanging the position of Nanyang Taishou, which is controlled by Liu Biao.

Liu Biao looked at Ao Lie, and his face was full of a smile that made people feel very sincere: "Virtuous nephew, what you are holding in your hand is the Chixiao Divine Sword handed down from the ancestor in the past?" ”

Ao Lie replied, "Exactly." ”

Liu Biao nodded, put away his smile, and then made a gesture to worship the Chixiao Divine Sword in Ao Lie's hand.

Even if Liu Biao really has the heart to worship, it is impossible for Ao Lie to let Liu Biao worship, not to mention that Liu Biao really wants to worship before he sees him, maybe he is just making a show. Ao Lie hurriedly helped Liu Biao, and said in the air: "Zhou Mu is highly respected, and he is also a member of the royal family, so he must not perform this great gift and torture his little nephew." ”

Seeing that Ao Lie grabbed him, Liu Biao secretly said in his heart: This kid is very good at being a man. So, Liu Biao symbolically arched his hand at the Chixiao Divine Sword, even if he had seen the Gaozu Holy Weapon. Then he changed the topic and asked Xiang Ao Lie: "Virtuous nephew, I don't know how Lu Dao Huangzu offended the virtuous nephew?" ”

Huang Zu hurriedly said on the side: "Lord Zhou Mu wants to call the shots of so-and-so, this Ao Hussar wants to kill so-and-so."

Liu Biao flicked his sleeves unhappily and snorted coldly: "If you don't make a weapon, don't stop talking!" ”

looked at Liu Biao, then at Huang Zu, and after his eyes quietly turned between the two of them twice, Ao Lie came back a little, Liu Biao probably came to save Huang Zu today, but I don't know what is wrong between the two of them, so that Liu Biao cares so much about Huang Zu's life and death.

After a while, Ao Lie explained the incident in detail, Liu Biao didn't expect Huang Zu to make such a big fuss, and gradually sank his face, looking at Huang Zu's eyes, which were also gloomy and cold. Huang Zu noticed the change in Liu Biao, for fear that Liu Biao would leave it alone, then he would really become a revenant under the Chixiao Sword, so he hurriedly walked to Liu Biao's side and wanted to say something.

Before Huang Zu could speak, the expression on Liu Biao's face turned into a bright smile again, and said to Ao Lie: "Ah, that's the case, this matter is known to the government, virtuous nephew, you don't know, a few days ago, a group of water thieves gathered on the river to make trouble, and the government sent someone to quickly summon Huang Taishou to Xiangyang, and wanted Huang Taishou to calm down the trouble, he was earnest, so he came to the street, according to the palace, forget about this matter." ”

Noticing the change in the expression on Liu Biao's face, Ao Lie couldn't help but secretly say to the old fox, the speed of turning his face is really not slower than turning a book, this is a typical politician's face! Obviously, it is impossible to take down Huang Zu today, so he simply sold Liu Biao a face. So, Ao Lie arched his hand and said: "So that's the case, Huang Taishou was originally loyal. But I don't know where the water thief dares to be so rampant? ”

Liu Biao listened to Ao Lie's meaning, he was willing to let Huang Zu go, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on his face became even brighter: "This matter is a long story, I think that when the government first arrived in Jingzhou, this group of water thieves already existed, but the government was busy governing the state and county, and had no leisure to exterminate them, causing these thieves to become bigger and bigger, and the first person was called Gan Ning, leading thousands of water thieves to make trouble everywhere on the river, just because their sails were made of good brocade, so people called them brocade thieves." ”

When Ao Lie heard Gan Ning's name, his heart fluttered, now the cavalry and infantry under his command are elite, but only the lack of a naval army, if you can recruit Gan Ning to fill the gap in your naval army, isn't it a good thing to have the best of both worlds? What's more, Gan Ning is a very famous fierce general in history, and he is as good at using double halberds as Dian Wei, and he is a rare general who is proficient in water and land warfare in Eastern Wu.

After a little hesitation, Ao Lie said: "Zhou Mu, this gang of water thieves will be a scourge sooner or later, and they should be eradicated as soon as possible." It's better to leave this battle to the little nephew. ”

Liu Biao looked at Ao Lie with a little surprise, and said in a deep voice: "The virtuous nephew doesn't know, this gang of water thieves is like the wind on the river, and their whereabouts are secretive, and this government has tried to exterminate them several times, but they have escaped, and they are proficient in water warfare, and ordinary people are not opponents at all." ”

Huang Zu on the side hurriedly helped: "That's right! And the bandit leader Gan Ning has the courage of ten thousand people, but he is very brave, even the general is not completely sure that he can destroy him. "The implication is that even my Huang Zu can't destroy people, and others don't have to think that they can be destroyed. This is also Huang Zu looking for a place for himself, he was shocked by Ao Lie just now, which made Huang Zu feel very uncomfortable, so he wanted to take the opportunity to hit Ao Lie's arrogance.

Pouting, Ao Lie said to Huang Zu: "Huang Taishou thinks that Benhou's nickname was obtained in vain? Or do you think that Ben Hou does not match the title of Champion Marquis? ”

Everyone in the world knows that Ao Lie's nickname is Xiaobawang, and his title is Champion Hou, both of which contain this meaning, which is to show that Ao Lie is brave and has the courage of ten thousand people. Huang Zushicai said Gan Ning's martial arts in front of Ao Lie, obviously questioning Ao Lie's force, and the closer meaning is to question the vision of all Youzhou people and the vision of today.

Huang Zu broke out in a cold sweat at Ao Lie's words, and hurriedly waved his hand, trying to explain clearly: "No, no, no, Ben Jiang, alas, so-and-so doesn't mean that, it's just, it's just"

Seeing Huang Zu's aggrieved appearance, Liu Biao sighed secretly, Ao Lie, the nephew surnamed Huang, is indeed the dragon and phoenix among people, even Huang Zu, who he has always relied on, is not his opponent, and he was played by Ao Lie between applause in a few words, you must know that there is a difference of nearly 20 years of life experience between Huang Zu and Ao Lie, if the age of the two is transferred, let Ao Lie have another 20 years of experience, I am afraid that no one in this world will be his opponent.

Huang Zu said a few words of defense vaguely, and he couldn't even convince himself, so he hurriedly turned his eyes for help to Liu Biao. Liu Biao said loudly: "Virtuous nephew, Huang Taishou didn't mean this, it's just that the virtuous nephew has been in Nanyang for less than half a year, and the water war is different from the land war, so the virtuous nephew must not be careless." ”

Huang Zu nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, this is what it means, that's what it means." ”

Without looking at Huang Zu, Ao Lie said to Liu Biao seriously: "Don't worry, the little nephew knows that before the New Year, the little nephew will definitely capture Gan Ning and others and rush back to participate in the annual meeting!" ”

There are less than ten days left before the New Year, that is to say, Ao Lie has to find and defeat Gan Ning and other Jinfan thieves within ten days, which is undoubtedly very difficult.

Liu Biaohu looked at Ao Lie suspiciously, and said suspiciously: "Virtuous nephew, you must know that there is no joke in the army. ”

Ao Lie said loudly: "I wish to make a military order!" Within ten days, if you can't capture Gan Ning, you will be willing to accept military law! ”

"Good!" Liu Biao's anger was picked out by Ao Lie, and he said loudly: "How many soldiers and horses do you want, just say it!" The government does not allow it. In Liu Biao's view, Ao Lie is nakedly slapping himself in the face, he has sent people and horses to encircle and suppress Gan Ning many times, but he has not succeeded, and even lost his troops, and now Ao Lie dares to boast that he wants to capture Gan Ning in Haikou within ten days? What is this not a slap in the face? So Liu Biao is not persuading Ao Lie, Ao Lie can toss as much as he wants, wait until the ten days are over, and see what face he has to come back to participate in the annual meeting.

Ao Lie stretched out a finger and handed it to Liu Biao.

Looking at Ao Lie's gesture, Liu Biao frowned and said, "A thousand people? ”

Ao Lie shook his head.

"Ten thousand? This is absolutely not possible, and on the occasion of the annual meeting, the government should leave heavy troops to guard Xiangyang to ensure the safety of officials in various places. Liu Biao replied.

Who knew that Ao Lie still shook his head.

Now it was Liu Biao's turn to be puzzled, and he couldn't help asking: "How many people does the virtuous nephew want?" ”

Ao Lie's outstretched finger turned in a different direction, pointed at Huang Zhong and said, "The little nephew wants to be alone, Changsha Huang Hansheng!" ”

When Huang Zu on the side heard this, he couldn't help but laugh, obviously thinking that Ao Lie's brain was broken, and he didn't want to let people go, and asked for an old pawn by name, isn't there something wrong with his brain?

Huang Zu's laughter made Huang Zhong's heart very unhappy, since he saw Huang Zu, this guy changed his face several times in a short period of time, first he was arrogant and arrogant, and after knowing Ao Lie's identity, he used a trick to get by, and when Ao Lie showed his Chixiao Divine Sword, Huang Zu immediately made a groveling demeanor, and then Liu Biao arrived, he felt that he had a battle momentum, and he was tough again, but he was frightened back by Ao Lie's words, and now he is crazy again, despising the heroes of the world. Such a person is also worthy of being a county guard? On the contrary, it is the young hero of Ao Lie, Mount Tai collapsed in front and his face did not change, he was confident from beginning to end, and he was the wind of a general, such a person can gather talents around him, and he is the pillar of the future of the Han Dynasty, and he is the master that I Huang Zhong should follow!

Liu Biao glanced at Huang Zhong, although Liu Biao knew that Huang Zhong had always been martial arts, but he firmly believed that no matter how fierce the tiger was, it would be so old that it would lose its teeth, and it would no longer be fierce. Therefore, since coming to Jingzhou, Liu Biao has never really attached importance to Huang Zhong from beginning to end. A little old man who is about to turn fifty, what is there to pay attention to? In contrast, it is still Huang Zu and his brother-in-law Cai Mao and others who are more worthy of reuse.

What is the difference between taking more than 20 people to fight with thousands of Jinfan thieves and looking for death? Liu Biao has his own abacus in his heart, he knows that Ao Lie is brave and brave, even if he fails, he can kill a bloody way out of the ten thousand armies, and there will be no danger to his life, but defeat seems to be a foregone conclusion, and he can slightly frustrate Ao Lie's spirit, Liu Biao is also happy to see it, otherwise it will be an elbow for him to lead Jingzhou in the future. Liu Biao will never reveal the thoughts in his heart, but he will not be stingy in terms of verbal appreciation: "Hansheng, are you willing to follow Ao Hussar to build this great achievement?" In a word, it was said that something that was close to death was a meritorious service, which not only raised Ao Lie's status but also showed the importance he attached to Huang Zhong, so he asked Huang Zhong first.

Huang Zhong straightened his body, making his already straight body even straighter, like a javelin, and said loudly: "I don't dare to ask for it!" ”
