On the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar, dragon boat racing has long been an unwritten festival custom.

In order to measure the victory or defeat of the race, the "championship" system was created.

That is, when the dragon boat rows to the end, the winner is judged by grabbing the buoy, and the person who grabs the first mark is the champion of the competition.

The process of dragon boat rowing is a dragon fight, but the most fierce is when the end of the line is approached, when the dragon boat racers compete for the "championship".

In order to let the empress and the princes and ministers above the third rank see the most fierce competition, the end point of the race was set in the place where the water curved in Ziyunlou Square.

Even if you are sitting on a high platform in the square, you can see the game from the crowd of onlookers on the shore, not to mention that the high platform built is built from the shore.

The Janissaries, who were on the inside and outside of the three layers, guarded the left and right sides of the high platform, and also isolated the spectators from the cordon they guarded.

Therefore, no matter how many crowds of spectators were crowded on both sides of the Qushui, the empress and the civil and military officials above the third rank sitting on the high platform could directly see the situation of the game on the Qushui without any obstruction.

The cheers of the four sides were repeated, and the voices calling "King Wei" in unison became louder and louder, obviously the first round of dragon boat racing reached a white-hot level.

Nowadays, there is little entertainment, dragon boat racing is a little different from modern times, it is still quite interesting to watch, and the atmosphere at the scene is so warm, how much is infected, Liu Chenxing turned a circle in his heart to watch the gladiatorial fight between all parties just now, and looked over with the eyes of everyone sitting on the high platform.

The same dragon boat, the same oars, the same boat, 20 participants in charge of paddling, and a captain at the bow of the boat, standing on the dragon boat, a huge drum in front of him, by his palm, with the sound of the drum to direct the speed of the whole team's paddle.

As she thought, they had all practiced dragon boat rowing, and the cries of "King Wei" on both sides of the Qushui River did not mean how strong Shen Zhongyi was, or how strong their dragon boat was, they could leave other dragon boat competitors far behind.

I saw that on the field, the four dragon boats were almost in unison.

The racers are all dressed in black sweatshirts, but the silk scarves tied around their arms are of different colors, red, yellow, blue and green, so as to distinguish which team each of the four dragon boats represents.

At this time, the ecological environment is obviously not comparable to modern times, especially in this royal garden, where egrets inhabit the curved water, and the scorching sun of the Dragon Boat Festival at noon shines on the water, the water is sparkling, and the egrets are flocking, stretching their wings arbitrarily.

The four dragon boats have scrambled to within three feet of the finish line, and the final moment of winning the bid is getting closer and closer.

For a while, the drums were like thunder, the oars were roaring, and the water was splashing.

The dragon boat traveled like an arrow, and the water waves at the place where the dragon's head crossed the water were rippling, and the egrets were shocked to fly away first.

As we got closer to the finish line, the harder the rowers rowed, and we reached the finish line.

In order to increase the difficulty of winning the bid and increase the excitement of watching the race, a platform is set up at the end of the dragon boat, and the top of the long pole is the championship for winning and grabbing.

Shen Zhongyi led the red team with a red scarf on his arm, which was faster than the other three racing teams, but not much faster, as soon as the red team stopped, Shen Zhongyi threw down the double stick of the drumming, and the first foot jumped on the bow of the boat to jump onto the floating board at the finish line, and the other three teams also arrived one after another.

Seeing the opponent chasing after him, Shen Zhongyi was not doing much, and the ladies and nobles on both sides of the Qushui River, and even some officials who were fascinated by the game, had already shouted nervously:

"Ahh King Wei, be careful! A woman reminded loudly.

"It must be King Wei! It must be King Wei! They can't catch up. A woman nervously closed her eyes and folded her hands in prayer.

"It seems that this first round of winning bids is very fierce, and King Wei has already caught up." An official who watched the game seriously commented.

It's no wonder that everyone is so nervous, Shen Zhongyi was about to reach out and take off the championship first, there was a drummer with a yellow scarf on his arm, completely ignoring the fact that Shen Zhongyi was the emperor's noble, or when the holy sons were deposed one after another, Shen Zhongyi, the eldest grandson, had a special identity, and seeing that it was too late to catch up, he directly threw himself on the ground with a "bang", stretched his hands forward, and tried his best to trip Shen Zhongyi's feet.

It was at this moment that he stumbled and won the opportunity for the drummers of the other two teams.

Now the common enemy is Shen Zhongyi, who is one step ahead, and the drummers of the blue and green teams do not look at each other, exchange opinions, and have already rushed towards Shen Zhongyi.

"Ahh Seeing that Shen Zhongyi's feet and arms were tied, he was looking nervous, and he didn't know who couldn't help but scream nervously, there were many such screams, and they came out one after another from time to time.

Liu Chenxing didn't know whether the process of winning the championship was indeed fierce, or whether it made these screams nervous, she also suddenly became nervous, looking at the competition on the floating board, the hand holding the long handle of the silk fan quietly tightened.

Shen Zhongyi looks like he is extravagant, after all, he grew up in the palace since he was a child, his grandfather and grandmother are all extraordinary, and he is carefully taught by Confucianism, a typical prince and grandson.

Looking at it, I thought that there would be some powerlessness, but at the moment, I saw that the opponent was strong, and Shen Zhongyi was not far behind.

He did not stomp on the man who had stopped him, but he allowed the man to stumble under his feet, and with the force of his arms, he pulled the man who had been holding him to the left and the right to the ground, and flew behind him.

The two didn't seem to expect Shen Zhongyi to have so much strength and wanted to resist, but under Shen Zhongyi's pull, inertia, they couldn't resist at all, and they collided together.

"Ahh

"Ahh

In an instant, three cries of pain sounded at the same time.

"Hiss......"

Liu Chenxing saw it in pain, and hissed silently.

The two people who flew together were burly men, eight feet tall.

Not to mention the heavy collision between the two of them who were caught off guard, they also smashed on the drummer who threw themselves on the ground together, trying to trip Shen Zhongyi's legs, the two of them added up to three or four hundred catties, and they all smashed down, and the drummer on the ground was really in pain, and he let go of the hand that grabbed Shen Zhongyi.

Without being restrained, the three opponents behind him were still stacked together in pain, Shen Zhongyi didn't look back to look at the miserable situation he created, took a step forward, and easily stretched out his hand and won the championship.

Rubbish!

King Jin's face was gloomy for a moment, and then he lowered his head and served the wine, and then leaned back, his face was as usual.

At this time, the crowd watching the game reacted, and in an instant, the drums roared and screams rang out.

"Oh my God! It was King Wei who won! Winning is so beautiful! ”

"In the past, I only knew that King Wei was outstanding, but today I know that King Wei stretched out his hand, and he was actually a person who did not lose a line of martial arts!"

"That's it, King Wei and Wuwen are both complete, it's really not an exaggeration!"
