The finals of the dragon boat race are divided into the Beijing official school competition and the Beijing military competition, the former are the descendants of the official family, the future pillars of the imperial court, naturally to be valued, the latter is directly the embodiment of the army's water war strength, its level is certainly not the students in the academy can compare, so the military dragon boat race is the highlight of the show.

There are many kinds of dragon boat shapes, the medium one is nine zhang five feet long, the long one is eleven zhang, the short one is also seven zhang five feet, the shape is different, there are tiger head boats, flying fish boats, loach fish boats, small dragon boats, and there are big dragon boats specially made for the emperor, there are more than 40 zhang, and the number of rowers is also different because of the shape, there are less than 50 people, there are 60 people, 80 people and even hundreds of people.

Most of the students who participated in the college race were still children who did not reach the crown, so they were only 48 people to participate in the medium-sized dragon boat race, rowers, that is, drivers, a total of 36 people, and the remaining 12 were drums, pins, gongs, flags, singing gods, and six kinds of deacons of toxiang fighting, two of each, and then look at the dragon boats used by the students, the head and tail are high, painted into the shape of a dragon with colored paint, and the bows, crossbows, swords, halberds and other weapons are lined up, symbolizing the "eighteen kinds of martial arts" In addition, there are all kinds of flags and flags, the stern of the ship is planted with centipede flags, all flags and the color of the uniforms on the riders must be unified, each academy adopts its own representative color of the academy, such as Lanting Academy, the uniform is sky blue, Yafeng Academy is pale blue, Yushu Academy is silver white, and Splendid Academy is red.

There are a total of 16 teams in the finals, and each team of four will play a four-out match, and after four games, the final four teams will be determined for the top prize.

Splendid Academy drew lots to the third group, so temporarily parked the boat next to watch the battle, and the four dragon boats drawn to the first group of the game stopped on the www.biquge.info line of the Biqu Pavilion.

The most critical part of the dragon boat is the person who sits in the front row position, commonly known as "the head picker", this person is the person with the greatest strength in the whole boat, directing the rhythm of the whole boat to row, it is very honorable to be the person who can be the head pickpocket, and the person who plays the role of the head of the Splendid Academy is Yuan Chang.

The person at the helm at the stern of the boat is also very important, this person holds the direction of the dragon ship, and the slightest negligence will make a big mistake, and it must be a person with a good sense of direction, strong control, and a view of the overall situation.

Of course, the rest of the team is also very important, and the dragon boat race is a team sport, and it is only by cooperating with each other and working together to win.

But I heard a gong on the surface of the lake, the boat was quiet when I boarded on the shore, the boaters on the boat were in good spirits and waiting, the lake wind pushed the waves, the dark tide was surging, but I heard another earth-shattering gong, and the four dragon boats suddenly shot out like arrows from the string! For a time, the flute and drums sounded in unison, there were royal musicians singing ancient sacrificial music on the music boat, the singers on the boat race sang high-pitched and agitated boat songs, the audience on the lake on the shore all sent out the cheers like a tsunami mountain, instrumental music, singing, slapping pulp, water waves, shouting, the ensemble played a magnificent symphony, the dragon boat that came out quickly through the waves and waves almost wanted to take off, the athletes struggled to swing the oars as if overcoming thorns, several racing boats sometimes went hand in hand and sometimes you chased me, seeing that you were a foot faster, in an instant he overtook half of the body, so that the audience in the two places was shocked and sighed, and was nervous and carnival。

Half of Young Master Yan's body leaned out of the boat, pulling his throat and shouting, Wu Yuexian only clenched his fists tightly and watched, and he couldn't hold it for a while, and shouted loudly with the two Young Master Yan.

The Lanting Academy Dragon Boat Team won the first group of competitions, followed by the second group.

When rowing a dragon boat, it is also necessary to master some skills, such as the boat with the flag as the eye, the drum as the knot, and the rise and fall of the pole without a single indiscriminate, so that the strength can be used in one place, and the force is half and the result is doubled.

The crowds on both sides of the lake were not idle, cheering and shouting on the one hand, and throwing peach charms and cans containing rice and mixed beans into the lake were similar to "forwarding the koi for good luck".

Finally arrived at the third group of the Splendid Academy team, the crimson dragon boat was shining in the sun, the team members were full of energy, Yuan Chang sat in the first place, tilted his head and looked around, and he didn't know who he was looking for, so he heard the cheers of several people on the official boat, obviously all of them were Splendid students.

Suddenly, Yuan Chang saw Yan Qi on this painting boat, and the eyebrows that had been slightly wrinkled just now were raised like goose wings, grinning, revealing a mouthful of crystal white teeth, and raised his hand to wave his fist at this box.

Yan Qi also swung his fist at Yuan Chang.

Yuan Chang heard his teammates sitting behind him wondering, "Why does the fat girl still hold a steamed bun to cheer for people?"

Yuan Chang: "......"

"duang" with a bang to start the game!

"Fifth brother, fifth brother, come on, come on!" Wu Yue shouted loudly, but the sound was instantly drowned out in the overwhelming drum music and the shouts of the crowd.

"The fire of the sky burns the sun, the fire of the earth burns the five directions, the thunder and fire enforce the law, burn the ominous ones, the dragon boat goes down the weak water, and the five lakes and seas are floating ......"

The loud song of the witch prayer boat came from the shore, and the people spontaneously responded, and the more people and the more they harmonized, the louder and louder the harmony, and the athletes in the lake seemed to be inspired by this song, and fought more and more to hit the waves, and marched forward bravely, just like what was written in the poem: "The red flag was opened three times by the drum, and the four dragons jumped out of the floating water." The shadow of the wave flies thousands of swords, and the drums split the waves and thunder. The drum beat gradually approached, and the four dragons looked at the mark like an instant. The people on the shore were startled, and the pole was hung with rainbow halos. The front ship has won the bid for the water, and the rear ship has lost ground and waved empty!"

Fairview College entered the finals with the first place in the third group!

And when all four groups are finished, the four teams that finally went to the finals also jumped out: Lanting, Yafeng, Yushu, and Jinxiu!

The finals are different from the preliminaries, semi-finals, etc., the finals to determine the final winner, the strongest dragon boat team, so the silver bowl is hung on the pole, inserted at the end point is the "standard", the first team to reach the finish line needs to pull up the benchmark to count the winner, called "winning the championship". And the final race is also the longest, on the way to pass through several dangerous places, the www.biquge.info and the end of the Biqu Pavilion are in the lake, the dragon boat starts from Guixu Lake, enters the Yanggu River, turns back in the river, and returns to the end point in the middle of the lake.

In the earth-shattering cheers, the four teams participating in the finals stopped in front of the www.biquge.info line of the Biqu Pavilion, the hoops were all muscles and concentrated, and after a gong, the four arrows were fired in unison, hitting the waves, and the drums roared! The four dragon boats fought side by side to be the first, the sworn enemy of the Splendid Academy, the Yushu Academy, was slightly ahead of the bow of the boat, and the wind and waves were temporarily in the first place, and the second place was the Yafeng Academy of the azure dragon boat, but the Splendid Academy fell into the third place for a while, so anxious that Wu Yue and Yan Si Young Master almost the whole of them went out of the boat.

Yan Qi saw from a distance that Yuan Chang, who was sitting at the front of the dragon boat, had a dignified expression, not in a hurry or impatient, and actually showed some calm demeanor like a general. Leaning forward, everyone behind him also followed closely, sitting at the stern of the boat Wu Ting and his party observed the situation on the field, and from time to time issued orders to command everyone, the team that can enter the finals is not an ordinary person, all have sufficient experience and solid tactical background, then see these four racing boats, or the front drive in the middle, the movements are neat, or roll up and down, quietly approaching, or suddenly enter and stop to fatigue the opponent, or a vertical and horizontal squeeze against its boat, or a boat and B ship are entangled vigorously, but C boat stepped forward to interfere, and when A and B want to compete with C, C boat retreats - For a while, these four racing boats are under the hands of these young, hot-blooded, strong and brave young men, you chase me, chase you, advance and retreat, you stop, I let you strengthen me, straight like a swift carp dragon tumbling up, the wind and rain are ghostly!

Row to the dangerous place of the river, it is a good time to catch up or open the gap, the warriors opened the oars against the current and went straight up, the turbulent jumping foam is like a group of dragons fighting, even when the whirlpool is bravely fought back, the voices on both sides of the river are moving, the lake cheers and lifts the sky, the golden drums are sounding like thunder along the way, and the whole people are boiling and the city is carnival!

When it was only a few dozen meters away from the finish line, the red dragon boat of the Splendid Academy suddenly exerted its strength, and instantly surpassed the pale dragon boat in front of it with lightning speed, and the silver dragon boat of Yushu Academy, which was always in the first place, also made the final sprint with all its might.

- The Red Dragon finally came out on top to achieve a super reversal, defeating the old enemy with the advantage of a dragon head and brazenly winning the championship!

"Boom-" The ground sounded, the shore set off a raging wave of applause, Yuan Chang in this day shaking high raised the benchmark with the brocade in his hand, to the crowd of passionate people in all directions waved hard, the splendid teammates cheered, roared, and danced the oars in their hands to celebrate the glory of their struggle, and then I don't know who shouted, a group of people threw down the oars, gathered to pull Yuan Chang over and lift it above his head, and then threw it hard to the height and distance, Yuan Chang's little classmate held his championship in the air and rolled a few heels gorgeously and fell into the lake。

There was thunderous laughter for a while, and before Yuan Chang floated up from the lake, his teammates had already gathered at the stern of the boat, and threw Wu Ting into the lake as well, and then a group of young men jumped into the water and celebrated their victory in the clear and cool lake.

"It's—it's amazing!" Wu Yue waved his fist in a dumb voice, his face was covered with red tide with excitement, and his black grape-like eyes turned his head to look at Yan Qi brightly, "I really regret that I couldn't cast a boy in my life! Such a blood-boiling and passionate thing, a woman will never be able to do it! Why am I not a man? Why! Why!"

"It's to blame Uncle Wu for being too arbitrary, and he didn't consult you beforehand. Yan Qi hurriedly gave her a soothing feeling.

“……”

Lu Rong was also so excited that small tears flashed in the corners of his eyes: "It's amazing, the best thing to see is the reversal scene!"

"What's the matter, my fifth brother is amazing!" Wu Yue never forgot to "get down to business", and hurriedly took the opportunity to give her best friend Amway's brother.

"Amazing, every hand in the Splendid Academy is very powerful!" Lu Rong nodded again and again.

"Hehehe, I'm so clever when I bet on Jinxiu to win," Yan Qi heard Cui Xuan snickering with a fan covering his mouth, "...... I really want to kowtow to myself in the mirror. ”

Yan Qi: "...... "Why don't you go to heaven!"

"The gambling house still uses this to open the market?" Cui Xi asked next to him.

"Why don't you gamble?" Cui Xuan shook his fan and laughed strangely, "Behind my back, I bet that Concubine Min will give birth to a boy or a girl." Saying that, he glanced at Yan Qi, "Uncle Ling and the same people bet on whether the hair on the instep of the pig Li is singular or even, and won a hundred taels of silver." ”

"......" Fourth Uncle, this is also a different wonderful life......

"The military dragon boat race that will start in a while can be gambled more fiercely," Cui Xuan squinted his fox eyes and continued to say to Cui Xi, "Last year, the dragon boat of Ruijian Camp won the championship, and the Hou Shizi of Anqing, who made a big bet on it, made a shocking fortune all of a sudden, and this year there are only a lot more people than last year, and even some poor housekeepers actually pointed to this bet to reverse the deficit." ”

When Young Master Yan heard this, he turned his head and lowered his voice and said, "I heard that there are underground gambling houses manipulating the results of the folk dragon boat races, and many people who are good gamblers have gone bankrupt because of this...... Isn't it possible to destroy any one you want?"

"It's not impossible for this to happen," Cui Xuan smiled crookedly, "The premise is that there must be such a loser in that family, who is addicted to gambling and bold, so as long as there is a weakness, it can be taken care of, and who in this world can have no weakness?"

Young Master Yan nodded, but Third Young Master Yan listened carefully beside him.

"Xiao Qi'er," Cui Xuan looked at Yan Qi with a smile, "Come on, tell everyone, what is your weakness?"

"I love to eat good things. "Yan Qidao. So hurry up and get something delicious to pinch her.

Everyone: "......"

The top 16 teams from the preliminaries of the dragon boat team formed by the armies and battalions in the suburbs of Beijing have been divided into the center of the lake, and they are also divided into four groups to determine the four teams that enter the finals. These soldiers who practice martial arts drills all day long are far from being comparable to the scholars in the academy, the spirit, the aura, and the style are just like going to the battlefield, and the ground is solemn and majestic, and the murderous spirit is soaring!

After the gong sounded, the first group started, and it was really a thousand feet of waves set off by the oars, and the fighting spirit rushed through the waves! It made the audience dizzy, short of breath, a heart lifted, the whole body was tense, shouting dumb throat, stomping the soles of the feet - this is the joy of the whole people, this is the joy of all people, this is the peaceful and prosperous era of peace and tranquility in all directions!
