The race is on. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

With the whistle of the commander, the six-colored boat rushed forward like an arrow......

The rules of this Tianyuan Pond Autumn Equinox Boat Race are centered on Fangjia and Yangshan, and go around Tianyuan Pond for three weeks, and after three weeks, the first person to cross the finish line will be the champion.

Just after the six boats had set off, a golden ring the size of a teacup was picked up with a copper rod at the beginning and end of the race.

This is the second rule of the competition, after each ship has sailed a circle, at a distance of 20 zhang from the golden ring, the captain of each ship must board the pole standing on the bow of the boat with a height of one and a half feet, aim at the golden ring, draw a bow and shoot arrows!

Only if the arrow pierces the gold ring, the rowing of the boat race circle is considered valid, otherwise, all members need to redraw the circle and come to the same place to shoot the gold ring again.

If you want to say that these twenty zhang arrows shoot a golden ring, even on flat ground, it is difficult for ordinary people to do it without a few years of hard training. Moreover, these princes and nobles had to shoot on the poles on the speeding racing boats.

This kind of treadmill is erected on the bow of the boat, made of a bowl of thick logs, and is one and a half feet high. In front of it is a slippery round wooden stick, with no place to cling to.

At the top of the pole, the shaft of the rod is thickened, and there are many tenon and tenon structures, through which five or six long flat wooden strips are stretched out to the periphery.

If these princes and nobles wanted to step on the pole, they had to first use light skills to rise more than a zhang high on the spot, and then step on or hold the wooden bar on it to stabilize their bodies before they could draw their bows and arrows.

Yun Yang stood on the side of the ceremonial platform at this time, staring at the surface of the Tianyuan Pool, and the six boats had already rowed around the surface of the pool for more than half a circle. The gap between the six ships is also gradually widening.

The boats of the King of Alcohol and the King of Rui ranked first and second respectively. The gap between the dragon ship and the unicorn ship is very small, and it is only half a hull less, and it may be overtaken at any time with the formation of the unicorn ship.

These two racing boats were followed by the sacred deer boat with horses. Other ships were left farther away.

Seeing that he was about to reach the distance of shooting the gold ring, Yunyang suddenly became inexplicably nervous in his heart.

Although she had seen the boat race beforehand, it was all static and not shocking.

Now seeing these ships running at a galloping speed, crushing the wind and waves, the hull of the ship is naturally unstable. In this case, the captains have to jump a foot and a half high treadpole...... In Yunyang's opinion, this is simply unimaginable.

As the distance approached, Yunyang became more and more worried. If you are careless and do not step on it steadily, you will fall on the deck, break your bones and tendons, and fall into the water of the Abyss Pool......

Because they were followed by racing boats moving at full speed, as long as these captains missed and fell overboard, they had no time to rescue at all, and they would be directly hit to pieces by the hard hull of the racing boat behind.

Thinking of this, Yunyang couldn't help but have a cold war, and thought to himself: "Boat racing is boat racing, why bother with these dangerous flowers?" ”

"Although Daqi is a strong soldier and a strong horse, there is no need to show off like this."

She quietly turned her head and looked at the queen and Concubine Chen.

The two of them were naturally more worried about the situation on the field than Yunyang. The queen's face changed slightly, and her hands tightly twisted the handkerchief in her hand, as if she was tearing hard.

Concubine Chen didn't make any moves, but her whole body stiffened, her eyes fixed on the surface of the Tianyuan Pool, as if she was frozen in her soul.

Yunyang saw this situation and sighed lightly in his heart: "Pity the world's motherly heart!" However, this father is so ruthless and sets such a rule! ”

"Half of the people in the arena are the emperor's closest relatives, two sons, and one son-in-law, do you have to embarrass them like this?"

Thinking of this, she glared at Zhao Yuan's side face angrily.

But at the moment when her eyes went out, Zhao Yuan turned his head as if he had a sense......

Yun Yang didn't think that Zhao Yuan would meet his gaze. His gaze was frank and unrestrained, unconcealed, without a city, and his eyes were full of shiny things, almost overflowing......

It took a lot of effort for Yun Yang to avoid Zhao Yuan's gaze at him. She tried to calm the emotions that had been in turmoil, and said in her heart: "In front of everyone's eyes, what is the emperor going to do? ”

"If it weren't for the fact that the race was at a critical juncture just now, and everyone's eyes were attracted to the boat race, the emperor's actions would definitely be discovered...... How's that good? ”

In fact, despite the intense competition on the pool, Zhao Yuan and Yunyang's actions were still firmly understood.

Concubine Min sat a little back, and the scene of Zhao Yuan and Yun Yang was full of affection in her eyes.

She didn't have any abnormal expression on her face, and she still leisurely shook the Wu Shagong fan embroidered with hibiscus double ducks in azure in her hand, looking thoughtfully into the distance. After a while, a subtle sneer appeared on his lips.

After such a pass, Yunyang missed the wonderful moment of the first circle when the princes and nobles stepped on the pole and the arrows pierced the golden ring.

When they got there, Yoonyang's eyes widened to see them as if they were climbing on this slippery stake.

When they were about to reach the range, the distance between the dragon ship and the unicorn ship was even closer, almost going hand in hand.

Standing at the bow of the boat, the alcohol king first took two steps back quickly, then ran, jumped up, kicked the cylinder of the treadmill, borrowed the force, and then jumped again, to the top of the treadmill.

He fixed his position with his feet up and down on the pole, took his bow and arrow from behind his back, and aimed at the golden ring......

Almost at the same time as the Alcohol King's movements, the Rui King also jumped to the pole.

However, he didn't run, just stood in place, relied on his legs and waist to exert strength, jumped more than a foot high on the ground, directly stepped on the wooden bar on the top of the pole, and stood firmly on it.

"That's amazing!" Yun Yang admired in his heart: "It seems that King Rui's light skills are more than a star and a half higher than that of King Alcohol." ”

The entire Heavenly Abyss Pool was unusually quiet at the moment.

The guests in the stands were all engrossed in staring at the two jade-faced teenagers on the pool.

I saw the two of them standing in the wind on the towering and still rapidly moving forward on the pole, their clothes were blown by the wind, and the broken hair on their sideburns was also a little messy, but their expressions were extremely dignified, their sword eyebrows were raised, and their eyes were sharp and keen......

At this moment, the bowstring in his arms has been full, and the golden ring is getting closer and closer......

Listening to the two soft sounds of "Peng Peng", the two eagle feather arrows passed through the golden ring one after the other......

There was thunderous applause in the stands.

Seeing that the golden ring had been shot, the alcohol king's expression returned to his usual cold appearance, and he jumped down and stood firmly on the deck.

King Rui looked up and saw that his arrow had also passed through the ring, and a bright smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He took his bow and arrows on his back, and was ready to jump to the bottom pole......

At this moment, the plank under the feet of King Rui suddenly broke. The King was defenseless, his body lost control, and he tumbled and fell......
