263. Chapter 263: The Game Begins
When Yuan Jinyu noticed that Mu Ze was also looking at this side, she turned her gaze to the side from time to time, for fear that others would find out that she was always staring in the direction of the sons of the family. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
But for this dragon boat race, Yuan Jinyu just wanted to see Mu Ze alone, so she kept refraining, and she was reluctant.
So she looked up from time to time for a while, and when the festival was over, she realized that the hour was so fast.
Ten dragon boats, each with ten people leading the team, each dragon boat has a drummer, a helm, and twenty rowers. The helmsman and drummer must be the son of the family, and if the remaining twenty people are not enough, they will be selected from the barracks to make up for it.
When he saw Mu Ze again, he was already standing on the third boat from the left, wearing clothes the same color as the flag, and wearing a cloth belt on his head, and he was flying in the wind at the moment.
Originally, Yuan Jinyu thought that Mu Ze would be the helmsman or the main rower, but he didn't expect that he would be the drummer.
After the initial shock passed, Yuan Jinyu stood on the high platform and looked at Mu Ze's eyes, full of confidence. Since Mu Ze chose to become a drummer, he will definitely be the best drummer, even if he can't hear the slightest sound.
Shen Guifei was sitting on the top seat at the moment, looking at Yuan Jinyu in the lower position, the expression on her face was still smart: "Didn't Jinyu say that she wanted to perform in public?" Why don't you start now? ”
"If you go back to the concubine, what Jinyu wants has not been delivered yet." She replied respectfully, and then sat down in her seat without humility or arrogance, looking down.
In addition to Mu Ze, the crown prince, the king of Chu, the king of Rui, the king of Duan, Mu Zhao, Rong Chen, Mo Qinghan and several other sons of prominent families all brought a dragon boat each, obviously superior to the other.
The canal is very wide, the direction they travel in is a semicircle first, and then it becomes a straight line sprint, because it is from a high platform, so it seems that this road is not long, in fact, Yuan Jinyu, who has some knowledge of the canal, estimated that these ten boats have to row two laps to reach the end, how can it be half an hour smaller.
Finally, when the dragon boat race was about to start, Ginkgo ran over and whispered to Yuan Jinyu: "Miss, everything you want is ready." ”
Before I entered the palace, I couldn't bring a maid, but now that I am the county lord, it is reasonable to bring a maid. With Ginkgo biloba, it is really much easier to do things.
Yuan Jinyu smiled slightly and stood up. As she got up, the high platform where the virgin dependents were located all cast their eyes on.
"Jinyu went to prepare, and after a while, he will sacrifice his ugliness to all the nobles." With that, he smiled and left with the maid.
Shen Guifei snorted lightly, her eyes full of disdain. Even if Yuan Jinyu has the ability to reach the sky, after today's performance, he will be discredited!
Cui's face was still pale, and he looked at Yuan Xiuyi, hoping that she could stop her, but who knew that Yuan Xiuyi just shook her head helplessly, signaling her to wait and see.
Mu Ze was standing at the bow of the boat at the moment, feeling the wind blowing on the canal, and the corners of his clothes were flying up and down. The mountains in the distance were already green, and the imperial city was hidden under the vibrancy.
The high platform was full of people, and under the high platform, the forbidden army was guarding at all levels.
The nine dragon boats around him are all ready to go, and as long as they give an order, they will rush out.
Mu Ze finally glanced at the direction of the high platform where Yuan Jinyu was, and guessed how she should look at herself expectantly in the veil at this moment.
The hour had come, and with the sound of a crisp gong, the thirty who had been preparing waved a gesture to him, Mu Ze closed his eyes, but the movements in his hands did not stop at all, and when his hands rose and fell, a dull but strong drum sound came out.
Thirty shouted the trumpet, and the twenty rowers who put on it all began to row the boat vigorously with the sound of drums and trumpets.
The dragon boat, which had just come to a halt on the water, rushed forward in the water at this moment, leaving a deep scratch on the surface of the boat.
At first, the rowers on the ten boats all cooperated tacitly, and the sound of water exploded into the sky. But after paddling forward for a while, I can't keep up with the rhythm.
At this moment, it is a great test of the coordination of the drummer and the rower.
Although Mu Ze couldn't hear the sound, the touch of his hands could make him feel what strength he should use on his hands at the moment, and when he saw that someone couldn't keep up with the beat, he would cooperate with Thirty to adjust the rhythm.
Originally, these ten boats were moving forward like this, but I don't know when it started, and there was a thin drum sound on the river.
The drum was obviously not beaten by them, the rhythm was different, it should have disturbed the pace of everyone's rowing, where did I think that following the beat of this drum, the people who were out of tune just now all adjusted.
Now everyone but the man in charge of the helm looked up, looking for the source of the drums. And they finally found the figure. At this moment, behind a reddish veil, a woman was dancing.
Because the veil was blocked, the distance was too far to see the woman's voice and posture, but from that gesture, I could imagine what kind of alluring color it should be.
And the one dancing in the red veil at this moment is Yuan Jinyu.
The place she chose was another high platform in addition to the female dependents and the officials of the court. The place that was originally like a sentry post was passed on by Yuan Jinyu to Shen Guifei's message, and it was directly occupied.
The red veil was also hung later, because the ankles had to be exposed for this dance. A girl's ankle can't be shown to others casually.
And Yuan Jinyu surrounded the veil, which not only rendered the atmosphere like a fairyland, but also set off her figure in a blur, half-covered and half-hidden, and her gestures were fairy-like.
Yuan Jinyu had changed into a red dance skirt at the moment, with golden bells hanging on her wrists and ankles, standing barefoot on the huge drum surface, and with the kicking on her feet, she made a solemn drum sound.
The women on the other high platform were all stunned, not to mention the people on the high platform where the emperor was.
The emperor didn't know whether to put his eyes on the canal or on the high platform where Yuan Jinyu was at the moment, and ordered the eunuch beside him: "Go and inquire, who is the dancing woman?" ”
Yuan Jinyu has no interest in other people's shocks, she just dances on the drum unbridledly, and the Prime Minister is not allowed to dance like this, so she can only use this opportunity to express her mood.
Dragon boat racing is still in full swing, and many people have already started to turn the bow of the boat and start the second lap.
Yuan Jinyu was still immersed in her world, and the sound of the drum "dong dong dong" sounded like a fine raindrop.
The drum beat was enthusiastic and exuberant, accompanied by a distant and crisp ringtone. Although at the moment the people who are rowing on the canal, because of the influence of the sound of the water, can not hear the bell.
Thirty now also noticed that there were people dancing on the high platform, and because of the beat of the drum, even the rowers on their boat were excited, and they all turned their arms, as if they wanted to shoot out the oars.
Mu Ze followed everyone's gaze, and only then did he find the woman dancing behind the red veil. Although the steps and styles were different from the palm dance she danced for herself before, Mu Ze still recognized it immediately, it was Yuan Jinyu.
His hand movement paused, and he almost messed up the drum. However, now those rowers basically listen to the drum beat at Yuan Jinyu's feet, and they don't care much about the sound made by Mu Ze here.
Finally, the first few ships had already entered the canal road in a straight line, with the help of such drumbeats, and it seemed to be a peerless beauty, how could these men not be excited? They all rushed forward with red eyes.
Suddenly, Yuan Jinyu's drumbeat suddenly accelerated, and there was a tendency to get faster and faster. The crowd that was fierce by her just now, many of them can't keep up with her drum beat, and they start to mess with the beat.
The more chaotic it is, the more they want to keep up, and it feels like Yuan Jinyu is provoking, and they want to conquer her with actions.
Mu Ze finally noticed something strange at this time, and immediately used his internal force to transmit the voice to the thirty: "Immediately let everyone stop the oars in their hands!" ”
Thirty snorted, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then the oars in their hands subconsciously paused.
These are all singled out from the forbidden army, and they are practiced by Mu Ze himself, maybe the martial arts are not the best, but they are the most obedient to military orders.
Originally, Mu Ze's dragon boat was rushing ahead, because it stopped so much, it just rushed forward with the strength just now, but it had been overtaken by several ships later.
Everyone was so anxious that they couldn't figure out what was going on.
And just when they were in a hurry, a dull drum beat was sandwiched in Yuan Jinyu's dense drum beat and came over.
Everyone turned their heads sideways, only to see Mu Ze with his eyes closed, tapping one after another.
The drum sound is not as heavy as Yuan Jinyu, but it has a resoluteness that cannot be violated.
Those who were disturbed by Yuan Jinyu just now suddenly calmed down and began to stroke along with Mu Ze's drumbeat.
Duanwang's boat and Rong Chen's were advancing at the same time, and they were so stimulated by Yuan Jinyu's drum beat that they couldn't wait to rush directly into the canal to swim a few laps, and as the drum beat became faster and faster, their emotions became more and more excited.
But just when they thought they were about to win the championship, the speed of the ship slowed down, and even deviated a little from the original course.
King Duan hurriedly signaled the man at the helm to pay attention to the direction, and was still shouting with his hands.
Even the most personable King of Chu is eager to use his internal force to spread his voice.
There is no way, Yuan Jinyu's drumbeat is too shocking, they just listened to it all the way, and they were all enthusiastic.
In previous years, even if there was a dragon boat race, they had not enjoyed it as much as this year, even if they couldn't keep up with Yuan Jinyu's drum beat in the end, they only felt that their skills were inferior!
And Mu Ze's ship shuttled out in the midst of the ships that were out of course. The Thirty at the helm was very good at his skills, and on several occasions he almost collided with other ships, and he was able to avoid them.
