Chapter 170: Bicycle Race (5) - In Progress
Hurried all the way, Niu Bayi finally arrived at the arena before the game. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Hey! Brother Teng! Hadron ...", he said in a loud voice, panting. In fact, he is one year older than Zhao Teng, but in the football team, Zhao Teng is the captain. So everyone is used to shouting Brother Teng.
"Huh! You kid, you still know how to come! Wang Xiao said emphatically. They waited here, and their hearts were dying. Now that Niu Bayi is finally here, they are finally relieved.
After that, Niu Bayi probably explained the reason why he was late, and the game began.
In recent years, because of the convenience of bicycles and the installment purchase policy of bicycle dealers, the popularity rate of bicycles is not low. The average salaried person will save a few months and grit their teeth to buy one back.
As a result, more than 2,000 people participated in this bicycle race. Among them, ninety percent are Ming people, and one percent are players from overseas. Compared with the Ming people, the skills of these overseas players are more touching. After all, most of them came to Daming to study, and the time was still short. This technology is not comparable, and it is reasonable.
As soon as the gun rang out, the players who were ready to go, like an arrow from Lixuan, rushed onto the track. On their backs, there are number plates printed with Arabic numerals, representing the numbers of the contestants. Also for easy identification.
The starting point of the race is Xinmin Avenue, which is a southeast-northwest traffic artery, located in Linbei District, south of the east line of Huanming Expressway, north of Huanhu Avenue, a total length of 12 kilometers, two-way eight lanes, left and right four.
The end point is the main gate of the Provisional Vocational University, which is on the edge of Daming Lake. This is a population lake, formed by the Qingshui River, with an area of 51,000 square kilometers. It is long and narrow from north to south, and short from east to west. Around the lake area, there is a 16-kilometer-long road around the lake. This is also the main track of the cycling race.
After running Xinmin Avenue, the runners will detour around Huanhu Avenue twice. The total distance is 44 km. It takes four or five hours, and it's definitely done.
On both sides of the road, two or three police officers patrol every kilometre. Every 5 kilometres, there is a volunteer service point. There was a loaded herbal tea there, and when the contestants passed by, they could pick it up at their fingertips. And on both sides of the road, warning banners were pulled to prohibit idlers from entering.
After stepping on Xinmin Avenue, Zhao Teng and his gang got together. It's like a 5,000-meter race, it's about endurance. At the beginning, you can't rush so hard, otherwise you will be weak in the follow-up. Of course, you can't be too far behind, otherwise you won't be able to catch up when you want to sprint.
Therefore, Zhao Teng and his group remained in the middle of the team, although they were not the first, they could rush into the first place at any time.
Nearly an hour later, Zhao Teng ushered in the first turn. From here, you will officially enter the Ring Lake Avenue. The team also changed from a group to a long one.
At this moment, a cry suddenly came from behind. Then he saw a figure suddenly brush against his side. Zhao Teng was immediately a little unstable. Immediately afterward, several more figures passed by him.
Fortunately, his skills were good, and after shaking a little, he stabilized his body.
When I looked up, it was a team of proud people in dark blue uniforms. Since playing the first football game in 1792, the invincible team led by Zhao Teng has become an opponent of the Aoshi team. Although the invincible team at that time took advantage of the carelessness of the Proud World team and won the game. But in the later school, provincial and national competitions, the Aoshi team also won a lot.
Especially in last year's Quanming Football Match, the Aoshi team won a goal against the invincible team and ascended to the throne of the first team in Daming.
And before that, the first team of Daming has always been an invincible team!
So much so that the fans of Daming are spreading the word that they are proud of the world's first and invincible. ’。 This blow is very big for all the members of the invincible team.
"Despicable!" , Niu Bayi, who couldn't hold back his words, immediately scolded. This proud team must have followed them a long time ago, but they haven't come forward, so they haven't noticed. Rushing out at this time, not only to overtake them in the corner, but also to give them a dismount.
Wang Xiaoqiang also said angrily: "Villain! ”。
The Proud World ignored them and ran away.
Zhao Teng had a calm face, watching their backs disappear from front of him intently, and he stepped on the pedal frantically.
At the same time, the Daming Divine Blessed Zone, because of the bicycle race, so the believers in the Divine Blessed District, are less than half of the usual. Even the Catholic Church, which has always had a lot of believers, rarely has a vacancy.
In the church, dozens of faithful are singing hymns under the leadership of the priest. Nine out of ten of these people are white-skinned Europeans, with the exception of yellow-skinned Asians. So it's especially strange to stand in the midst of a crowd of devout white believers.
If Niu Bayi is here, he will definitely be overjoyed. Because this person is the benefactor he wants to learn from.
"President Zhou, how's it going? Did you see that man? ", Philip said. Mandarin is more fluent, but the words he asks are contrary to his pious expression.
"See! But whether it's true or not has to be confirmed again. The middle-aged man known as President Zhou held the Bible and replied indifferently. The reason why he went so hard to get close to Niu Bayi was also to confirm whether it was the person he was looking for. However, he was still a little wary of the Englishman he sent to the door.
Hearing this, the corners of Philip's mouth raised slightly, and he replied in an affirmative tone: "I vouch for the credibility of the British Empire and myself, that is definitely the person you are looking for." ”。 This is a big secret that Britain has spent so much effort and manpower in Burma to dig up. As long as it is used well, it will definitely bring big trouble to Daming.
If you fool people, there is no need to use them.
President Zhou was not moved by his assurances. Still said indifferently: "Don't promise it yet." Even if I confirm that it is him, there is a good chance that I will not cooperate with you in the UK. After all, I'm doing well in Daming, and there's no need to upset Daming. ”。 This is a half-truth. If he was really willing to live well in Daming, he would not listen to the British and would not check Niu Bayi's identity.
It's just that I am really afraid of Da Ming in my heart. So I deliberately said this because I wanted to ask Britain for more chips.
Philip couldn't understand what he meant, and replied very simply: "I heard that you have a saying in the Ming Dynasty, 'Ming people don't speak dark words'." Here, too, I would like to advise President Zhou not to tell lies. Don't worry, as long as you want, my British Empire will do everything I can to help you! ”。
Seeing that President Zhou had doubts, Philip added: "At the moment, only our British Empire can compete with the Ming Dynasty. If you don't believe us in England, who else can you believe? ”。 It is said in and out of the words that the only one who can rely on the United Kingdom is the United Kingdom.
