The drums of "bang, bang, bang" sounded, and all the participating boats rushed out quickly.

Lin Mumu and the others also followed behind the ship, because they couldn't follow the boat, so the boat they were sitting on was also very fast, and Lin Mumu, who was not seasick, was a little dizzy when he was tossed like this.

The reason why the dragon boat race was chosen to be held in Xixia Pass is also because of the unique geographical location of Xixia Pass.

Xixia Pass is surrounded by mountains on all sides, at the foot of the mountain is the river where they are located, the river runs all the way through the entire Xijing, this river is in this section of Xixia Pass, the water surface seems to be calm but in fact there are many undercurrents underwater, which also invisibly increases the difficulty of the game.

Lin Mumu followed behind the team, and he could see the situation at a glance.

Just like what the medical officers said when they came, this year's people's team is destined to run together, so their speed has always been interspersed between the other two teams, neither fast nor slow.

Now rushing to the front is the team of the Western Chu State, on the dragon boat of the Western Chu State, Nangong Allure holds a drumstick, and every time it is forcefully beaten, the sound of "bang, bang, bang" on the drum is very inspiring.

"There is a water step ahead, everyone must rush over with all your might!"

At this time, someone in the people's team shouted, as if to remind all the participating teams.

"Water steps?" Lin Mumu stretched her neck and looked ahead.

The so-called water scale is an undercurrent, but the scope of the undercurrent is very large, spanning the entire surface of the river, so no boat can escape, and must pass through that water step.

"This lord, you can hurry up, this water step looks nothing, but it is actually very dangerous, and if you are not careful, the boat will capsize and it will be easy to have an accident." It was an ordinary person who supported Lin Mumu's boat, and he turned around and explained to Lin Mumu.

"Okay, I see, thanks for the reminder." Lin Mumu grabbed the edge of the boat as she spoke.

Soon, the dragon boat of the Western Chu Kingdom arrived at the water step first.

"Everyone use all their strength to cross the water ladder!" Nangong Chengcheng shouted with a drumstick.

But in the end, they still underestimated the power of this water step, and soon, it was like an extra suction cup under the dragon boat, and the whole boat was sucked by the undercurrent under the water step, and no matter how hard they tried, it was difficult to row over the water step.

"Why is this ship not moving?" Nangong Cong rowed almost out of strength, but the boat was still floating on the water steps.

The boats behind came one after another, but the situation was similar to that of Nangong Allure, and the boats were all sucked on the water steps.

"The ship capsized, a ship capsized!"

At this time, someone suddenly exclaimed, and everyone followed the voice, and saw a yellow dragon boat capsized!

"Save people, go and save people!" The man who followed behind and was ready to come to the rescue shouted.

Almost all of the yellow dragon boats are the descendants of the nobles of the family with heads and faces in Xijing City, and they can't afford to deal with any of them.

"Ouch, there are still boats capsized, so I said that this dragon boat race should be changed to another place, this water step is so dangerous that anyone can pass anywhere." The old man who supported Lin Mumu only slapped his thigh.

Because the channel was not too wide, after the dragon boat capsized, the people on board fell into the water, and the empty boat hit the boat on the side.

Looking at the scene that gradually became chaotic, Lin Mumu's heart also sank, there will be more and more boats that capsize like this, and as soon as the boat capsizes, it will cause disaster to other ships, there must be mediation under this water step, even people with excellent water quality may not be able to swim out of mediation.

"Uncle, quick, stop, go backward and don't go forward!"

"Doctor Officer, why don't we go?"

"What to do in the past, go

Sent to death!? "She is a medical officer, her duty is to save people, but the premise is that she has to live first, and in the current situation, she will definitely not end well when she squeezes through this ship.

Who knew that the old man shook his head in embarrassment. "I'm afraid it's too late at this point, the grass people try to see if they can hold it up."

Lin Mumu's boat was not far from the boat in front, and at this time there was already suction under the water, and it was difficult to go back now.

Sure enough, no matter how hard the old man tried, the boat would continue to rush towards the water steps.

"My lord, you don't know how to swim, if you know how to swim now, you can swim to both sides when you get to the water, if you really can't swim over, don't struggle, hold your breath and drill under the water steps, the river will wash you into the back section of the river." The old man had no choice but to turn around and explain to Lin Mumu.

"Won't the mediation in the water suck me in?"

"No, the grass people have lived in this Xixia Pass for many years, and they have encountered danger on this water step before, so don't waste your efforts along the water, the water will take you downstream."

"Okay, I got it."

There was a chaotic scene in the river, and Emperor Showa and others who were sitting on the top naturally saw it.

He has long lost his previous joy, his face sank, not to mention the two in the Western Chu Kingdom, almost all of the sons who participated in the competition this time were his slightly favored sons, and if these sons had an accident, the people didn't know what ugly words were going to come out.

"What's going on, save people, hurry up and send someone down to save people!" Emperor Showa almost jumped up from the dragon chair.

In previous years, before the dragon boat race, the imperial court would reflect the situation of sending people to this section of the water to survey the field, although the competition must have a certain risk to be stimulated, but the people who participated in the competition were not ordinary people, and the survey personnel naturally did not dare to take it lightly.

But this year, because Emperor Showa ordered the blockade of Xixia Pass some time ago, the matter of the survey was lost, and no one expected that there would be such a change at this water level this year.

The queen sitting on the side was very happy in her heart, fortunately, she was smart enough to tell Emperor Showa early that Zhao Rufei had fallen earlier and couldn't participate in the competition, otherwise it would be her son who was now hanging by a thread in Jiangli!

Compared with the thunderous Emperor Showa, the queen is much calmer.

It's good to be dead, those are dead, then her son will become the most eye-catching prince, and then she will have her maiden family as support......

The more she thought about it, the happier she became, and even hoped that the danger below would come more violently!

Zhao Xuanling's temperament was indifferent, and when he saw the situation on the river, he also stood up.

His eyes searched the river very quickly, but no matter how good his eyesight was, there was still a long distance away from the river, and if he wanted to see the situation on the river clearly, he had to go below.

"Your Majesty, Weichen will go down and take a look."

"Go, go, go." Emperor Showa hurriedly waved his hand, only hoping that Zhao Xuanling could go down and control the situation.

The river is not narrow, but there are too many dragon boats, even if the river is not narrow, so many dragon boats are prone to collisions at once.

"No, we can't go over, Your Highness, it's too dangerous ahead, let's turn around quickly!" The dragon boat that followed behind looked at the situation in front of them and was a little panicked, especially the noble children on the yellow dragon boat, some of them didn't even know how to water, if they fell into the water, they would die a life.

Zhao Hanjun looked into the distance with heavy eyes, there is no mountain road in Xixia Pass, and the mountain at the end of Xixia Pass can only be passed from the waterway.

"It's just a water step that makes you afraid of this, and everyone can't stop rushing to the main hall!"

"But

Third Highness, we will definitely hit the ship in front of us if we go over like this......"

"Listen to the main hall, rush over!" Zhao Hanjun interrupted the man's words with a cold gaze.

Most of the people on the boat are the descendants of Zhao Hanjun, a party minister, and they don't dare to really fight against him if they have opinions in their hearts, so they can only grit their teeth and row the boat, hoping that their luck will be better and they will not be unlucky enough to crash and capsize.

"Great Prince, what should we do?"

On the other side, the dragon boat where Zhao Chen was also stopped, and they were also afraid.

Zhao Chen looked at the water steps of the dragon boat and twisted his eyebrows and said: "At this time, nothing is more important than the lives of the people on the boat, and the boat behind is the boat that saves people, you can jump into the water now, swim to both sides as much as possible, and those who don't know how to water will stay on the boat honestly, if you reach the water steps and capsize the boat for a while, it will be like a way to hold the edge of the boat tightly, don't let go." ”

The water steps capsized, but the ship would not sink, and a smart hull could still save his life.

is different from Zhao Hanjun's posture of winning to the death, Zhao Chen's words made these children of the family look down on him, no matter what, Zhao Chen at least treats them as human lives, not cats and dogs who can be sacrificed at any time for their own interests.

"Your Highness knows how to water, why don't we find a way to row the boat to the shore?"

Zhao Chen shook his head, now they just don't move the boat and keep leaning towards the water steps, and it is difficult to row to other places.

"Listen to the main hall, now all those who know how to water should jump into the water, so that they will not be covered by the boat when the boat capsizes for a while."

"Yes."

Zhao Chen gave an order, and the people who knew how to water threw their oars and jumped into the water and swam to both sides.

"Your Highness, what now?" Zhao Chen's ship was left with only two or three sons and brothers who couldn't water and a crony who played the drum for Zhao Chen.

"If you look after them, the temple will be watery."

"Yes." After speaking, Zhao Chen turned around and jumped into the water.

Lin Mumu saw that the people who jumped from the boat also gritted their teeth and jumped into the water, the old man was right, as soon as she entered the water, she felt her body involuntarily go to the water steps.

It was difficult to swim to the shore on her own, so instead of struggling, she relaxed her whole body and let her body swim downstream with the current.

Zhao Xuanling came to the shore where the water steps were, and when he found that Lin Mumu's figure could not be found on the boat, his heart sank.

"Go find the long rope, the more the better."

"Yes."

Zhao Xuanling asked people to find a long rope and jumped onto a boat to save people. "Paddle through."

"Lord Wang, it's too chaotic and dangerous over there now, you can't risk your life."

Zhao Xuanling's eyebrows were cold. "Paddle through!"

The men under him could not do it, but could only do it. "Yes."

"Don't come here, you people don't rush over again!" The dragon ship of the Western Chu Kingdom, which was first absorbed by mediation, was also a little crumbling at this time because of the collision of other empty ships, the Western Chu Kingdom is not near the sea, and there is no river around the capital of the Western Chu Kingdom, and Nangong Chengcheng and Nangong Cong Ke are not waterless.

"Hurry up, find a way to get past here!" Nangong Cong shouted anxiously.

Nangong Allure has lost its former calmness at this time, now that the dragon boat has entered the water, it is a matter of time before the boat capsizes, but they are all on the water steps, and there is a rescue ship, and there is no way to save them for a while.

"Ahh

Before she could get along with each other, the dragon boat capsized.

"Help, save ......"
