Zhong Hao was thinking about it, when he suddenly heard Yang Huaiyu beside him, and shouted excitedly: "Look, the competition is about to begin!" ”

The people on the boat couldn't help but look up at the waterway that was in contention. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhong Hao listened to Yang Huaiyu's words, and then suddenly came back to his senses, and couldn't help but look up at the competition arena with everyone's eyes.

The origin of the name of this Jinmingchi competition is because the dragon boats will compete together for the tangled brocade balls hanging on the water surface in front of the Jinmingchi Baojin Building! And this brocade ball is called "the championship" by the people of the Great Song Dynasty because of its brightness. That's why this event is called the Kim Myeongchi Bid.

The competition for Jinmingchi is different from the dragon boat racing in later generations. The dragon boat racing in later generations only advanced in a straight line on the waterway to compare speed, but the dragon boat in this competition had to circle around Jinming Pond. On the water surface of the competition field of Jinmingchi, at the four corners of the east, west, north and south, a long pole was also erected, each wrapped with a colored silk, showing it as "Quartet". The dragon boat of the competition, after circling the "Quartet" for a circle, can finally go down to Baojin to compete for the gold ball, that is, the "championship".

This is not the same as the speed of the dragon boat race, but it also requires more skills, such as turning skills and winning skills.

When Zhong Hao looked over, more than ten bid-winning ships had been gathering momentum for a long time and were ready to go!

These award-winning dragon boats are all double-decker longboats that are four or five zhang long, with their heads and tails cocked, and are painted like dragons. On the upper deck of the dragon boat, there are various flags and five-colored umbrellas, with bells and whistles, which are very good-looking, and there are also gongs and drums to cheer. On the lower deck sat two rows of strong rowing sailors.

On the cocked bow of the boat, there is a special drummer who directs the steering, and on the cocked stern, there is a water swing frame specially used to win the bid, and on it is a young man with a dexterous body. The "trophy" on the long pole of this Baojin Building is nearly two zhang high, and if you want to get it, you still need high skills and skills.

Zhong Hao looked at the dragon boats in this arena and couldn't help but laugh a little. When he placed a bet, he thought that this competition was the same as the dragon boat race, and this waterway was very important, but he didn't expect that people were not only straight at all! And I heard Yang Huaiyu say that this waterway can also be merged, there is no need to move along a waterway at all, as long as you paddle faster than others, you can naturally go anywhere in the waterway.

When Zhong Hao bet, he thought that this competition would go in a straight line like the dragon boat race, so that the natural intermediate waterway would have an advantage, so in addition to betting on the "Ding" dragon boat recommended by Yang Huaiyu, he also got the "E" dragon boat and the "Ji" dragon boat in the middle waterway. But now he found that this competition was going around in circles, so naturally the innermost "A" dragon boat at the beginning was the most advantageous, and he also shook his head with a smile.

It seems that he is really smart but he is mistaken by being smart, it is better to listen to Yang Huaiyu's recommendation!

Fortunately, I was just playing, just to have a good time, but I really didn't have the strong gambler mind of other level pouncers, trying to rely on this level to fight a big fight all of a sudden.

Therefore, in Zhong Hao's opinion, even if these three hundred times are lost, it is not a big deal.

…………

This water competition in Jinmingchi is naturally the highest ~ tide of the Jinmingchi banquet every year, and even the official family can attract it, and it must be wonderful.

This Jin Ming Pool is extraordinary, and naturally it has attracted countless gamblers to bet, and it is really exciting to compete for this bid.

At this moment, all the ships were in place, and in the midst of all the attention, the official Zhao Zhen appeared on the terrace of the Baojin Building, he waved his hand to the athletes competing for the bid, and then announced the start of the bidding.

Before the official's voice fell, three loud horns sounded, and this year's Jinmingchi bid competition began.

The moment the horn sounded, the waterway of the arena suddenly noisy gongs and drums, under the guidance of this dense drum, one by one dragon boats quickly left the starting point, and then the dragon boats became faster and faster, and in a blink of an eye, they chopped the waves and galloped on the water.

Tens of thousands of spectators on the shore, their hearts were hanging, staring at the ship they supported, shouting, cheering into a one, shaking the heavens and the earth.

The Yang family's cruise ship has seized a good position, and its cruise ship is so high that Zhong Hao and others can see it clearly on the cruise ship.

Ten dragon boat oarsmen paddle in unison with the beat of the drum, and the dragon boat flies forward like an arrow from a string!

On the first straight, the ten dragon boats can still basically keep going in tandem, and even if there are dragon boats in the lead, they are only one or two oars ahead.

But soon it was time to cross the flagpole of the first "Quartet", and at this time the skill of turning was seen to be high, and soon two dragon boats fell behind because of a slight mistake in the corner.

In fact, when he turned the corner, Zhong Hao found that in fact, his idea just now was not too right, because the waterways of the "A" and "B" dragon boats were too close to the flagpole, but they were not very profitable when turning.

Because this dragon boat has four or five zhang long, the turn is required to have a large operating radius, and the first turn, each dragon boat has not opened the gap, each other is kept on their own waterway, the distance is relatively compact, so the "A" dragon boat and "B" dragon boat are closest to the flagpole, its turn is the most difficult, the radius of the turn is small and easy to touch the flagpole, the radius of the turn is large and easy to touch other dragon boats, so the turning of these two dragon boats is the most laborious.

But despite this, the two dragon boats that were a little behind were not these two, but two of them were on the periphery, probably because they turned more easily, but they were careless, because the two dragon boats collided slightly, which affected a lot of speed, and they were a little behind!

Fortunately, there is still a long distance behind, and there is still a chance to catch up, so these two slightly lagging dragon boats are not discouraged and still catch up.

The competition was fierce, and everyone on the cruise ship was engrossed in watching the dragon boats on the water surface of the race.

Zhong Hao saw that when he crossed the second flagpole, two more dragon boats were left behind. In fact, when sprinting in a straight line, the gap between the dragon boats is not large, and most of them fall behind when they turn over the flagpole. It seems that the skill of turning the dragon boat is very crucial in this event.

And Zhong Hao also found a very interesting phenomenon, because the dragon boat race is not fixed, the dragon boat must go its own waterway, and it can be merged, but it is a little like the racing competition of the future.

No, there was a dragon boat just now that made use of some of the skills of later racing competitions. He first followed closely behind the dragon boat in front of him, and then used the dragon boat in front of him to row the waves, effectively reducing the resistance of the paddling, so that the oarsmen could save a little effort. Wait until the flagpole turns, quickly insert the head of the dragon boat into the inner waterway, occupy a vantage point, and then take advantage of the dragon boat in front of it to avoid it when it is afraid of colliding and deliberately dodging, and quickly complete the overtaking.

This is simply the same as the scene of the later racing competition, with the car tactics, the car can slightly reduce the wind resistance by following the front car, and this dragon boat is to reduce the resistance of the stroke, to the corner, waiting for the opportunity to quickly complete the overtaking of the inner road, it is really very godlike.

Every turn of the flagpole is a contest of skill and guts, and of course, a bit of luck. Every turn is a time to open the gap.

By the time this was the ten dragon boats that had rowed the waterway in the Jinming Pond one after another, the gap was already obvious, and there were only three dragon boats left in the front.

Once the waterway is rowed, these ten dragon boats are like arrows from the string to the championship standing on the long pole in front of the Baojin Tower, and the dragon boats are very fast!

The competition has also reached the last moment, among which there are three dragon boats that are at the front of the distance!

Obviously, the dragon boat that succeeded in this competition should be one of these three. The dragon boats behind have been thrown off one after another when they crossed the four flagpoles, and when they passed the last flagpole, they sprinted to Baojin Tower, and the distance that the dragon boats had pulled down was a little large, and it was obviously difficult to have a chance to win the bid.

These three dragon boats in the first group are almost neck-and-neck, but if you look closely, there is still a gap.

Zhong Hao looked carefully at the flag hanging at the stern of the ship, and couldn't help but be very happy. These three dragon boats were all the three that they had bet on, and I saw that the flags on their sterns were "Ding", "E", and "Ji". In fact, Zhong Hao also bet and played, but he didn't think about making money. However, seeing that these three dragon boats were the fastest, Zhong Haozi was also very happy, because no matter if the dragon boat succeeded in bidding, he would not be able to lose money.

Although the speed of these three dragon boats is about the same, the speed of the "Ding" dragon boat bet by Yang Huaiyu and Xu Feng is slightly faster, and it is two oars ahead of the other two dragon boats.

It seems that Yang Huaiyu has really worked the dragon boat in this competition, but he is not a random bet.

At this time, everyone on the Yang family's cruise ship had long since stopped talking, and they all stared at the dragon boat on the waterway.

Yang Huaiyu and Xu Feng both made heavy bets, and at this time, they were staring at the three dragon boats tightly, paying attention to the final battle situation.

I saw that the dragon boat with the tiger head flag of "Ding" hanging and the hull of the boat was all painted red, and the lead was getting bigger and bigger. With the oarsmen on the dragon boat rowing hard in unison, the "Ding" dragon boat has been two oars ahead of the other two dragon boats from the first one, and gradually four oars ahead of the rest of the dragon boats!

And the advantage continues to expand, and when it is only ten zhang away from the championship, it is already more than half a boat ahead of other competing dragon boats.

Obviously, this "Ding" dragon boat has the most bettors. Because at this time, the onlookers on the surrounding cruise boat saw that the dragon boat stood out, and the shouts had already resounded like thunder. Xu Feng and Yang Huaiyu, the two guys who bet on the "Ding" dragon boat, had already widened their eyes at this time, clenched their fists tightly, and screamed, they had long forgotten Sven, and they couldn't remember that there were two beauties around them. They were preoccupied with the competition on the waterways.

Zhong Hao was also excited when he watched this event, but he didn't bet heavily, so naturally he wouldn't lose his temper. It is said that this competition is exciting, but he thinks that the reason for this excitement is that this heavy bet on the fight also accounts for a very important proportion.

Although Zhong Hao was relatively calm, he also looked at the competition arena with full attention, and did not notice that Lin Yuchen, who was sitting next to him at this time, was sipping the mash in the cup at this time, but his eyes did not look at the competition field, but his eyes were flowing and staring at Zhong Hao calmly.

Hua Xiaodie is even more exaggerated, and at this time she is already looking at Zhong Hao with a fascinated face.

At this time, the two beauties thought in unison: This Zhong Gongzi is really a wonderful person, at this time everyone else is already fanatical, he can still be so calm.

The sailors of the "Ding" dragon boat also showed their strength to eat milk in this loud shout, and in a blink of an eye, the dragon boat was already close to the bamboo pole.

The water swing at the tail of the dragon boat has been swinging higher and higher, because the dragon boat is moving forward at a rapid pace, and the winner has only one chance to catch the championship, if he can't catch it, the dragon boat will run quickly, so the water swing must swing to a sufficient height before winning the bid to have a chance! Of course, in addition to this, the winner needs to have enough experience and opportunity, plus dexterity to grasp this fleeting opportunity.

In the blink of an eye, the "Ding" dragon boat has arrived under the long pole with the championship stick, only to see the "Ding" dragon boat winning the young man swing high, the person is almost level with the water, in the audience held his breath, he struggled forward to reach out to grab the championship......

It's a pity that the young man who won the bid was not very late, so he was empty, and only his fingers wiped the silk strips on the championship slightly.

The audience sighed, and the dragon boat had sailed a foot away, and the bid failed.

Immediately afterwards, the dragon boat with the tiger head flag of "Already" and the dragon boat painted blue around the body has been in place, and the position of the "Already" dragon boat is very correct, as long as the bidder swings over, he will definitely be able to take the championship into his arms.

At this moment, a figure swept over like a water bird, grabbed the championship first, and then drilled into the water like an arrow, rippling with waves......

Only then did the audience react, it turned out that it was the winner of the "E" dragon boat that was slightly behind just now when he saw such a situation, and couldn't help but make a desperate bet!

After the young man on the "E" dragon boat swung the swing to the highest point, he let go of the swing and flew out with the force of the swing, grabbing the front of the "Already" dragon boat and winning the bid.

When the winner surfaced and lifted the trophy high, the audience erupted in earth-shattering cheers.

Of course, it wasn't all cheers, because many people lost money because they didn't bet on the "Ding" dragon boat, so naturally they didn't have the interest to cheer! For example, Yang Huaiyu and Xu Feng were depressed at this time.

The dragon boat that wins the bid will be rewarded by the officials.

That's why these dragon boat paddlers and prize winners are working so hard. They are all ordinary people, and it is a great blessing to see the official family. But today, not only did the officials come to see their competition in person, but they also presented awards to the successful dragon boats, and the people on these dragon boats naturally had to perform hard.
