Chapter 30: The Dragon Fights the Kirin
readx;
Seeing that the excuse was useless, Yunyang boarded a small boat rowed by six people and headed in the direction of the big boat. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
At this time, there was another movement behind the waterfall. A moment later, six boats split into two columns and sailed neatly from behind the falls.
The two ships at the head are the dark gold dragon ship and the crimson unicorn ship.
The black gold dragon ship is painted with gold thread dragons all around, and there are three floors of platforms on the hull, although it is not as grand as the big boat, but it is the only boat with a platform among the six racing boats. The meaning of noble and prominent is self-evident.
Alcohol King Zhao Fuchu held the dragon horn on the bow of the boat and stood with his head held high in the wind. Although he is not as tall as Zhao Yuan, he is also slender and burly.
He was dressed in a jet-black peacock velvet warrior robe, all of which were heavily colored except for the rhinoceros leather belt and arrow sleeves that glowed dimly.
Looking at his facial features again, he looks more like Queen Qiu, with delicate skin, white as paper, and he is extremely handsome. It's just that the eyebrows on his face are always deeply locked, and his eyes are very cold.
The Alcohol King's ship was dressed so eye-catchingly that as soon as he appeared, the eyes of the guests in the stands were focused on him. I wanted to applaud, but I was taken by his fierce momentum and didn't dare to make a sound.
For a while, the Tianyuan Pool was surprisingly quiet.
Yunyang stood by the viewing platform, and when he saw this, he peeked at the queen.
She thought to herself that the ship of the King of Alcohol and the Emperor's ship were the same standard, and they were covered with claws. The cocktail is the son of the dragon, and the meaning of this can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.
Besides, this formation makes the atmosphere of civil and military officials dare not come out, but it is enough to show their faces, right?
The queen sat there, looking at the Tianyuan Pool from afar, her face sinking like water, and she seemed to have no expression.
After a long time, a slight smile flashed at the corner of his mouth.
"Phew." Yun Yang saw this smile, secretly breathed a long sigh of relief, and thought, "I finally confessed the queen's errand." ā
The corners of the queen's eyes here were proud, but the face of Concubine Chen sank over there.
Immediately following the Alcohol King's Dragon Ship is the Rui King's Kirin Ship.
Although there is no balcony on this ship, it is wider than the others. The bow and stern of the ship are carved with vermilion gold-filled lacquer stripes of wave-treading unicorns.
King Rui was wearing a moon-white Song Jin Hu suit, a neat short dress. He stood in the middle of the boat with his waist crossed, smiling, as if he didn't care that his limelight was robbed by the alcohol king, and he looked like he was in the chest.
Behind these two ships is the dark green Shenlu ship led by General Wen Zhongli.
This attached horse master is not tall but sturdy and strong, although his face is not as handsome as the two princes, he also has good facial features, and there is a sense of loyalty between his eyebrows.
The first time Yunyang saw the attached horse, the impression was very good. Secretly thought to himself: "This person knows at a glance that he is a benevolent and righteous gentleman, no wonder the emperor will marry his eldest daughter, Princess Xuanbo, to him." ā
"But I don't know why, it's a pity that Princess Xuanbo can't come because she is unwell to participate in such an important race today."
After the ships with horses, there were other ships led by the sons of nobles, such as jade horse ships, Suzaku ships, and Xuanwu ships.
After circumnavigating the Heavenly Abyss Pond for a week, the six racing boats assembled in a neat line towards the east bank.
As soon as they approached the shore, they were greeted by the maintenance craftsmen of the various boats. With the exception of the unicorn boats, each ship has a pontoon bridge with the shore.
The pontoon bridge of the cantilevered boat is especially wide. Because there is a platform on this ship, although it is imposing, it is very heavy, and it will affect the speed after the race starts. So this balcony was made into a moving one.
As soon as they landed, dozens of strong men boarded the boat along the pontoon bridge, erected the ship's platform with many logs, and transported it back to the shore.
At this time, six one-man tall gongs were carried to the shore, and six young girls stood beside the gongs with trays with gong hammers.
It turned out that before the race, the six captains had to go ashore and strike the gong to show that their boats were ready for the race.
At this time, the other five captains all went ashore along the pontoon bridge and stood beside the gong. Only King Rui's boat didn't even have a pontoon bridge.
King Rui watched this scene on the ship, but he was not in a hurry, and went back to the cabin. After a while, he pulled out a white horse,
King Rui rode up, and after a little preparation, leaped forward in the air......
You know, at this time, the distance between the boat and the shore is three feet away, and it is really risky to fly so far without a full run.
I saw King Rui and the white horse leap up in the air, their movements were high and floating, and they seemed to pause in the air for a moment, and then accelerated again, rushed forward, and stood firmly on the shore.
This action was so handsome that Dr. Guanglu's daughter Zhenzhen, who was standing on the shore, was fascinated by it, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration when King Rui landed on his horse.
In an instant, the guests in the stands by the Jiuyuan Pool applauded thunderously for a long time.
Yunyang secretly went to see Concubine Chen, only to see that the clouds on her face gradually dispersed, and she also applauded.
Seeing Concubine Chen's action, Yun Yang was secretly happy in his heart: "I have completed another one." ā
When King Alcohol saw King Rui's action, the gloom in his eyes seemed to have another layer, and a sneer flashed across the corners of his mouth. Raise your hand to pick up the gong hammer next to you, and strike the gong "bell bell" in front of you three times.
Then, throwing the gong into the arms of the person next to him, he turned around and strode back to the boat.
According to the prior arrangement, it should be that the six captains should have stood up and struck the gong together.
But when the others saw that the alcohol king himself had knocked first, they followed suit.
By the time King Rui dismounted, he was the only one who had not yet sounded the gong.
King Rui doesn't seem to care about any of this. He looked at the girl with the gong and hammer with a smile, and said, "Come here quickly!" ā
Doctor Guanglu, who was holding the gong and hammer, was trembling in shock by King Rui's actions just now, and this time he smiled at himself, and he couldn't hold it anymore, and he took an arrow step, and wanted to pounce in a moment......
How do you know that she is happy and sad, her steps are a little bigger, she stepped on her Luo skirt, mixed garlic under her feet, lost her center of gravity, and fell out.
The gong hammer in her hand also flew up, and smashed the door in front of King Rui......
To say that the Wise King's kung fu was really remarkable, he grabbed the girl's arm with his right hand and held her unbalanced, while his left hand raised in front of the door, and caught the heavy gong and hammer two inches from his eyes.
When the young lady of Dr. Guanglu's family saw him behaving like this, her whole body was even weaker, and she took advantage of the situation to plunge into King Rui's arms......
As soon as King Rui let go of the hand holding her arm, the young lady of Dr. Guanglu's family pounced. Then, with a deft turn, the King of Wisdom took the hammer and smashed it at the gong......
"Bell Bell Bell ......"
