Chapter Seventy-Six: The God of Arrows
Three days later. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
By the river, Yuan Qi 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 river, the speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it entered Yuan Qi's eyes.
"Here he comes. Yuan Qi said softly, then turned around and sat down at the table, waiting for Gan Jing's arrival with peace of mind. Zhao Hu and Huang Yong stood behind Yuan 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. On the bow of the boat stood Gan Jing, with two three-foot-long pheasant tails stuck in her head, drawing arcs in the wind at will, holding two guns in her right hand, her left hand in her waist, and her feet standing indiscriminately.
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 Yuanqi.
Yuan Qi'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 people who jumped into the water swam to the river, and they didn't talk to Yuan Qi 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!" After that, the two of them pulled the rope with both hands, and the two thick ropes rose up in the river, and after pulling up the rope, the two tied one end in their hands to the big stone by the river, and then turned around and swam into the river and returned to the boat.
Only two parallel ropes were left, separated by a gap, all the way to Gan Jing's boat.
Seeing that his brothers had tied the ropes, Gan Jing said, "It's the Yuan Hussar on the other side?"
Yuan Qi slowly stood up, the wine glass in his hand moved in the direction of Gan Jing, and replied, "It's Ben Hou." Come on, but Gan Jing and Gan Xingba?"
Gan Jing laughed and said, "That's right! ”
Yuan Qi asked, "What is the purpose of Xingba letting people erect these two ropes?"
Gan Jing 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. Please go to the pontoon bridge and talk to the boat!"
It turned out to be a question for myself. Yuan Qi secretly laughed in his heart, he hadn't tested Gan Jing yet, but was first troubled by Gan Jing.
Looking at the rope hanging above the river, Yuan Qi saw that the rope was about three fingers thick, swaying slightly in the strong river wind, which strengthened the difficulty of stepping on the rope to get on the boat. Moreover, the rope is not an iron rod, and it is impossible to have no curvature at all, and in the middle part it makes a dangerous arc downward, 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 Yuan Qi, this is absolutely impossible, once Yuan Qi stumbles and falls into the river, Xiaobawang's reputation will be ruined. 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 it be to Yuan Qi's reputation?
Zhao Hu and Huang Yong both changed color, they knew that the difficulty of Gan Jing's problem was too great, not to mention stepping on the rope and walking over, even standing on the rope for a while was a problem!
Huang Yong couldn't help but say: "General, this Jinfan thief is really rude, he clearly sees the general's intention to solicit, but he still has to deliberately make things difficult, waiting for an arrow to shoot him!"
Yuan Qi hurriedly stretched out his hand and held down Huang Yong's movements, and said in a low voice: "It's easy to kill him, but Xingba is a rare general, and he likes him very much. ”
Huang Yong looked at Yuan Qi's clear eyes, and he saw endless confidence and incomparably strong belief. Huang Yong suddenly understood a little bit that the reason why Yuan Qi was able to win all battles was not just because Yuan Qi had no last resort, nor did he completely rely on the unparalleled force, but this belief supported Yuan Qi to win one victory after another.
Yuan Qi smiled, and then stepped onto the suspended rope.
Walking on the ropeway swaying in the wind, Yuan Qi immediately felt weightless, as if he was in space, and his whole body had no force at all. Without the slightest hesitation or the slightest flinch, Yuan Qi adjusted his body a little and took the first step.
On the boat a hundred steps away, Gan Jing saw Yuan Qi 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, Yuan Qi is still walking forward step by step, with the footsteps, Yuan Qi has walked through a third of the ropeway, to the most dangerous middle ground, this ropeway because of gravity, down concave, out of a dangerous arc, and the strong wind blowing on the river surface, from time to time let the suspended rope sway up a few times, even greater the difficulty of Yuan Qi's progress.
Yuan Qi moved carefully and slowly on the ropeway, small steps by step, 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 Yuan Qi's heart: I knew that there was today's situation, it was better to study light skills in my previous life, and if there was kung fu such as floating on water, it would not be as hard as now.
When you think about it, you can't stop moving forward. Yuan Qi slowly lifted his right foot, only an inch above the rope, stepped forward, spotted a point on the ropeway, and stepped down. Suddenly, a strong wind blew, blowing off the trajectory of the rope, and Yuan Qi was too late 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 went against Yuan Qi, just after Yuan Qi barely adjusted the position of his foothold, another gust of wind blew and blew the rope back to its original trajectory. All of Yuan Qi's adjustments and efforts came to naught, and he stepped on the empty place, followed by a stumbling body, and was about to fall into the river.
At the critical moment, Huang Yong's majestic shout came from the shore: "General, under your feet!" Along with Huang Yong's voice, there was also a sharp arrow, a sharp arrow shot by Huang Yong!
Don't get me wrong, Huang Yong naturally didn't want to be bad for Yuan Qi, but to help Yuan Qi. The whistling arrow came to Yuan Qi's feet accurately, and wiped it on the sole of Yuan Qi's shoe with a slight difference, Yuan Qi immediately understood Huang Yong's thoughts, and landed a little on the arrow shaft with his right foot in the empty place, and returned to the ropeway with the help of strength, avoiding the dilemma of falling into the water, and then walked forward.
Yuan Qi turned his back to the shore and didn't see Huang Yong's movements clearly, but Zhao Hu saw it clearly. It turned out that Huang Yong took out a bow and arrow to prepare for emergencies after Yuan Qi stepped on the rope, and after seeing Yuan Qi stepping on the air, Huang Yong aimed a little, and shot a sharp arrow, as if measured with a ruler, and came to Yuan Qi's feet without a single difference, so that Yuan Qi's right foot had a place to borrow strength, so as to adjust his body and return to the ropeway.
Zhao Hu praised softly: "General Huang Yong's divine shooting, it really deserves its reputation!"
Huang Yong smiled at Zhao Hu, and then continued to look at Yuan Qi intently, while putting another sharp arrow on the bowstring.
After taking another seven or eight steps forward, Yuan Qi had to calculate the impact of the wind speed on the rope, maintain the balance of his body, and pay attention to the frequency under his feet, which needed to be calculated repeatedly in his heart, which made Yuan Qi feel a headache faintly.
Another gust of wind blew, and Yuan Qi lost his balance again, and his feet could not find a landing point to rely on. Huang Yong, who was closely observing Yuan Qi's movements on the shore, immediately shot the sharp arrow in his hand that was ready to be fired, and quickly drew an arrow and put it on the bowstring, and shot a series of arrows with the sound of Peng's string. While Huang Yong was shooting arrows, he did not forget to shout loudly: "One step with the left foot, two steps with the right foot!"
Hearing Huang Yong's shout, Yuan Qi's left foot stepped straight down, Huang Yong's first arrow came to Yuan Qi's feet at the right time, Yuan Qi took advantage of Huang Yong's arrow, with the leadership of the arrow shaft, his left foot returned to the ropeway, followed by his right foot, stepped on Huang Yong's second arrow, and took two steps forward.
Huang Yong shot a total of three sharp arrows before and after, helping Yuan Qi walk through the most dangerous section of the ropeway, and then there was no chance for him to shoot. Yuan Qi moved forward steadily, and finally stepped on the rope and walked to Gan Jing's boat.
It feels so good to be down-to-earth! This was Yuan Qi's first thought after he got on the boat. Stretching out his hand to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead, Yuan Qi turned around with a smile on his face, and said loudly in the direction of Huang Yong: "A bridge flies north and south, and the moat becomes a thoroughfare! Huang Yong's divine shot is worthy of his name!"
Huang Yong on the shore laughed heroically and responded to Yuan Qi's appreciation.
"Yuan Hussar, so bold. A strong and powerful voice came into Yuan Qi's ears, and he could hear that it was Gan Jing's voice.
Turning around slowly, Yuan Qi looked at Gan Jing, 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, now, can you tell you, are you willing to join someone?"
I didn't expect Yuan Qi to be so direct to solicit, and those of the family heroes recruit people in a completely different way, 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, and finally will implicitly propose the meaning of solicitation, why is this little overlord not according to common sense?
Gan Jing hesitated for a moment, and simply said: "There is one last question, if the general's answer can satisfy X, X-so will be under the general's command." ”
Yuan Qi said with a smile: "Xingba, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
Gan Jing grinned and said, "The general seems to be very confident."
Yuan Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "What does Xingba think?"
Looking at Yuan Qi's confident demeanor, Gan Jing secretly admired it in her heart, so she said: "I just want to ask the general, if I throw myself under the general, what official is the general going to do to a certain official?"
looked at Gan Jing with a smile, the relationship still depends on the development prospect, too. Yuan Qi said unhurriedly: "It took so much effort to come to meet Xingba, so naturally I will not arrange you to do an inconsequential idle job." With a pale face, Yuan Qi 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 Jing looked at the sincerity in Yuan Qi's eyes, threw away the two guns in his hands, lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Gan Jing is willing to follow the lord, saddle before and after the horse, and achieve immortal hegemony!"
