Three days later.

By the river, Ao Lie set up a table of wine banquet in a flat place by the river, in addition to the wine and delicacies, two pairs of chopsticks and two wine glasses were also prepared on the table.

The lonely sail is far away and the blue sky is endless, and only the Yangtze River skyline can be seen. The rolling river water rushes all the way to the east, refusing to stop for a moment, rushing to the sky, and the river is connected with the sky, forming a scene of sea and sky.

A little black shadow came from the waves on the surface of the river, and the speed was extremely fast, and it entered Ao Lie's eyes in a blink of an eye.

"He's coming." Ao Lie said softly, then turned around and sat down at the table, waiting for Gan Ning's arrival with peace of mind. Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong stood behind Ao Lie on the left and right, staring at the shadow of the boat on the river.

This is a ship with a carrying capacity of 300 stones, which is not big, but it is definitely not small. Standing on the bow of the ship was Gan Ning, with two three-foot-long pheasant tails stuck in his head, drawing arcs at will in the wind; He held a halberd in his right hand, his left hand on his waist, and stood on his feet.

When the boat was still more than a hundred steps away from the river, it suddenly stopped. The two men jumped from the boat into the river and swam in the direction of Ao Lie.

Ao Lie's eyesight was excellent, and he could clearly see that the two people who jumped into the water had thick ropes wrapped around their waists, and he didn't understand what they were doing, so he quietly picked up the wine glass, put it to his lips and took a shallow sip, waiting for the following.

The two who jumped into the water swam to the river, and they didn't talk to Ao Lie and the others, untied the thick rope wrapped around their waists and held it in their hands, and then shouted at the same time: "Get up!" Then the two of them pulled the rope with both hands, and two thick ropes rose up in the middle of the river, and after pulling up the rope, they tied one end of their hands to the big rock by the river, and then turned around and swam into the river, and returned to the boat.

Only two parallel ropes remained, separated by a single step, all the way to Ganning's boat.

Seeing that his brothers had tied the ropes, Gan Ning opened his mouth and said, "It's Ao Hussar on the other side? ”

Ao Lie slowly stood up, the wine glass in his hand moved in the direction of Gan Ning, and replied, "It's Ben Hou." Come on, but Gan Ning Gan Xingba? ”

Gan Ning Dalu smiled and said, "That's right! A certain is Gan Ning. ”

Ao Lie asked: "What is the meaning of Xingba letting people erect these two ropes?" ”

Gan Ning said loudly: "Three days ago, the general wrote a letter and put it in the river, asking if a certain dared to come to meet with the general. Dare to ask the general to step on the rope and meet on the ship! ”

It turned out to be a question for myself. Ao Lie secretly laughed in his heart, he hadn't tested Gan Ning yet, but was first troubled by Gan Ning.

Looking at the rope hanging above the river, Ao Lie saw that the rope was about three fingers thick, swaying slightly in the strong river wind, which made it more difficult to step on the rope to get on the boat. Moreover, the rope is not an iron rod, and it is impossible to have no curve at all, and in the middle part it is a dangerous arc to the lower part of the river, and if you are not careful, you may fall into the river. For people who understand water, this is not a dangerous project, it is a big deal to fall into the river and swim ashore, but for Ao Lie, this is absolutely impossible, once Ao Lie stumbles and falls into the river, the reputation of the little overlord will be ruined. Just imagine, the dignified hussar general and champion Hou stumbled and fell into the river, and then swam back to the shore like a chicken in soup, what kind of huge blow would Ao Lie's reputation be?

Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong both changed color, they knew that the difficulty of this problem from Gan Ning was too great, not to mention stepping on the rope to walk over, even standing on the rope for a while was a problem!

Huang Zhong couldn't help but say: "General, this Jinfan thief is really rude, he clearly saw the general's intention to solicit, but he still deliberately made things difficult, waiting for an arrow to shoot him!" As he spoke, he bent his bow and arrows.

Ao Lie hurriedly stretched out his hand and pressed Huang Zhong's movements, and said in a low voice: "Han Sheng, it is easy to kill him, but Xingba is a rare general, and he likes him very much." Hansheng, you remember, Kuang Fu Han Dynasty, the reorganization of the rivers and mountains is not just a move or only one or two people can be completed, we must bring together the vitality and a large number of talents, unite all the forces that can be united, in order to see the dawn of victory after the most Lu. ”

Huang Zhong looked at Ao Lie's clear eyes, and he saw endless confidence and incomparably strong faith. Huang Zhong suddenly understood a little that the reason why Ao Lie was able to win all battles was not just because Ao Lie had no last resort, nor did he completely rely on the unparalleled force, but because of this firmness, the belief that the Han River must have a better future! It is this belief that supports Ao Lie to achieve victory after victory.

Zhao Yun walked over, but didn't say anything, just stretched out his hand and palmed it to Ao Lie.

Ao Lie smiled, stretched out his hand, and slapped Zhao Yun hard, and then stepped onto the suspended rope.

Feeling the wordless exchange between the two brothers, Huang Zhong was deeply shocked, he understood that the mutual trust between Ao Lie and Zhao Yun had reached the apex of what he had seen in his life, and Zhao Yun firmly believed that Ao Lie would definitely be able to pass through this ropeway that was not humanly possible.

Walking on the ropeway swaying in the wind, Ao Lie immediately felt a burst of weightlessness, as if he was in space, and his whole body had no force at all. Without the slightest hesitation or the slightest flinch, Ao Lie adjusted his body slightly and took the first step.

On the boat a hundred steps away, Gan Ning saw Ao Lie walking on the ropeway with a firm look, his eyes were full of victory, he dared to challenge himself, he was not afraid of failure, and he had the courage to face difficulties.

On the rope, Ao Lie is still walking forward step by step, with the footsteps, Ao Lie has walked through a third of the ropeway, to the most dangerous middle ground, this ropeway because of gravity, to the bottom of the depression, out of a dangerous arc, and the strong wind blowing on the river, from time to time let the suspended rope sway up a few times, even greater Ao Lie's difficulty.

Ao Lie carefully and slowly moved small steps on the ropeway, and his forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat, which showed how exhausted he was. At this time, a strange thought arose in Ao Lie's heart: I knew that Lu Dao had today's situation, and it was better to study light skills in the previous life, if there was kung fu such as water floating, it would not be as hard as now.

When you think about it, you can't stop moving forward. Ao Lie slowly raised his right foot, only an inch above the rope, and stepped forward, spotted a point on the ropeway, and stepped down. Suddenly, a strong wind blew, blowing off the trajectory of the rope, and it was too late for Ao Lie to re-lock the landing point of his right foot, and while trying to ensure that the rest of his body was not affected, he subtly adjusted the position of his right foot in an attempt to save the situation.

As if the Wind Mother deliberately did something against Ao Lie, just after Ao Lie barely adjusted the position of his foothold, another gust of wind blew, and the rope was blown back to its original trajectory. All Ao Lie's adjustments and efforts were in vain, and he stepped on the empty place, followed by his body, and was about to fall into the river.

At the critical moment, Huang Zhong's majestic shout came from the shore: "General, under your feet!" "Along with Huang Zhong's voice, there was also a sharp arrow, a sharp arrow shot by Huang Zhong!

Don't get me wrong, Huang Zhong naturally didn't want to be bad for Ao Lie, but to help Ao Lie. The whistling arrow came to Ao Lie's feet accurately, and wiped it on the sole of Ao Lie's shoe with a slight difference, Ao Lie immediately understood Huang Zhong's thoughts, and his right foot that landed in the empty place was a little on the arrow shaft, and returned to the ropeway with his strength, avoiding the dilemma of being about to fall into the water, and then walked forward.

Ao Lie turned his back to the shore and didn't see Huang Zhong's movements clearly, but Zhao Yun saw it clearly. It turned out that Huang Zhong took out his bow and arrow in case of accidents since Ao Lie stepped on the rope, and after seeing Ao Lie stepping on the air, Huang Zhong aimed a little and shot out a sharp arrow, just like measuring it with a ruler, and came to Ao Lie's feet without a single bit, so that Ao Lie's right foot had a place to borrow, so as to adjust his body and return to the ropeway.

Zhao Yun praised softly: "General Hansheng's divine shooting, it really deserves its reputation!" ”

Huang Zhong smiled at Zhao Yun, and then continued to look at Ao Lie intently, while putting another sharp arrow on the bowstring.

After taking another seven or eight steps forward, Ao Lie's mental strength has been consumed seventy, he has to calculate the impact of wind speed on the rope, but also to maintain the balance of his body, but also pay attention to the frequency under his feet, the amount of information that needs to be calculated in his heart is too large, so that Ao Lie feels a headache faintly.

Another gust of wind blew, and Ao Lie lost his balance again, and his feet could not find a landing point to rely on. Huang Zhong, who was closely observing Ao Lie's movements on the shore, immediately shot the sharp arrow in his hand that was ready to be fired, and quickly pulled out an arrow and put it on the bowstring, and shot a series of arrows with the sound of Peng's string. While Huang Zhong was shooting arrows, he didn't forget to shout loudly: "One step with the left foot, two steps with the right foot!" ”

Hearing Huang Zhong's shout, Ao Lie's left foot stepped straight down, Huang Zhong's first arrow came to Ao Lie's feet at the right time, Ao Lie borrowed the strength of Huang Zhong's arrow, with the lead of the arrow shaft, his left foot returned to the ropeway, followed by his right foot, stepped on Huang Zhong's second arrow, and took two steps forward.

Huang Zhong shot a total of three sharp arrows before and after, helping Ao Lie walk through the most dangerous section of the ropeway, and then there was no chance for him to shoot. Ao Lie moved forward steadily, and finally stepped on the rope and walked to Gan Ning's boat.

It feels so good to be down to earth! This was Ao Lie's first thought after he got on board. Stretching out his hand to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead, Ao Lie turned around with a smile on his face, and said loudly in the direction of Huang Zhong: "A bridge flies north and south, and the moat becomes a thoroughfare!" Hansheng Divine Shooting, worthy of its name! ”

Huang Zhong on the shore laughed heroically and responded to Ao Lie's appreciation.

"Ao Hussar, so courageous." A strong and powerful voice came into Ao Lie's ears, and he could hear that it was Gan Ning's voice.

Turning around slowly, Ao Lie looked at Gan Ning, the smile on his face became a little thicker, and said straightforwardly: "Xingba, let's get straight to the point, since you set up this cableway, you must understand the meaning of inviting you to meet, and now, a certain has passed your test, can you tell a certain person, whether a certain person is qualified to be your lord?" ”

I didn't expect Ao Lie to solicit so directly, and the way those families recruit people is completely different, the general family heroes are accustomed to praise each other first, and then go around and around to say some of the relationship between each other, the most implicitly put forward the meaning of solicitation, why is this little overlord not according to common sense to play cards?

Gan Ning hesitated for a moment, and simply said: "There is the last question, if the general's answer can satisfy a certain person, a certain will be under the general's command." ”

Ao Lie said with a smile: "A certain has always adhered to a principle, the one who comes is a brother, since it is a brother, of course, there is nothing to hide, Xingba but it doesn't hurt to say." ”

Gan Ning grinned and said, "So, does the general think that he has eaten so-and-so?" ”

Ao Lie shrugged his shoulders and said, "Otherwise, Xingba thought that he had worked hard to come to this ship through the ropeway, so what happened?" ”

Looking at Ao Lie's confident demeanor, Gan Ning secretly admired it in his heart, so he said: "I just want to ask the general, if a certain person is under the general's command, what official is the general going to do to a certain official?" ”

Ao Lie knew that Gan Ning was different from his uncle Wang Yue, and Wang Yue wanted to be an official in order to glorify the lintel; And Gan Ning wants to be an official in order to be able to show his ambitions. The former is for self-interest, while the latter is for ideals.

Looking at Gan Ning with a smile, Ao Lie said unhurriedly: "After spending so much effort to meet Xingba, naturally I won't arrange you to do inconsequential idle work." With a pale face, Ao Lie continued seriously: "There is still a lack of an elite naval army under a certain command, I intend to let Xingba serve as the governor of the naval army and lead a certain naval army, how about it?" ”

Gan Ning understood the sincerity in Ao Lie's eyes, threw away the double halberd in his hand, lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Death for a confidant!" The lord knows the grace of the encounter, even if Gan Ning is full of liver and brain, he will never give up! ”
