Yucheng is not too far from the sea, and there are many large and small lakes in the territory, so it is not difficult to find someone who is familiar with the nature of water.

As soon as the holy decree was issued, there were countless men with good ability to water to sign up, and after the palace sent people to carefully select, a total of more than 600 people were selected, according to the thirty-two pairs of oars on each dragon boat, and the rest were all alternates, just in case someone was physically exhausted and could be replaced.

After all, the dragon boat race is for young adults, and there is no shortage of participants in the Beijing garrison. One by one, the powerful men put on a uniform and wrapped a turban painted with a five-clawed golden dragon, and sat on a long dragon boat decorated with a hideous and mighty dragon head, exposing two muscular arms, with a tall posture and a cold face, and he was full of domineering.

Many ladies and ladies from big families in the capital who came to see the excitement blushed with shame, their hearts pounded, and they wanted to keep following the man they liked on the dragon boat with their eyes.

He Jinghe, who was sitting on the high platform by the river, and He Xiaoqiao, who was talking and laughing, were also watching, although Jiang Fenghao was in good shape, he was not a muscular hunk after all, and it was interesting to change the type occasionally to take a look.

Although Jiang Fenghao still had a smile on his face, he had already begun to roll up his sleeves and grit his teeth in his heart, planning to go to Jiang Mufeng to settle accounts later, and force him to change out of all the contestants' clothes, after tomorrow, whoever dares to show an arm to let his lady see him cut off whom!

As the sun gradually rises, the mist on the wide river surface dissipates, revealing a tall dragon gate in red and green in the middle of the river section, on which a colorful ball of the boss is hung with a red line, just in time for the final day of the final for 'green picking'.

The gongs and drums on the riverside are noisy, and the two sides of the bank are full of flags, and the flags flutter in the strong wind, agitating like colorful sails. Because the emperor and a number of princes and ministers were coming, they were all covered with heavy troops, and the people were not allowed to approach the river, but they were only allowed to stand behind the officers and soldiers to watch.

However, Rao is so, there is still an endless stream of people who come to see the excitement, and the two sides of the river are bustling shoulder to shoulder, and at a glance there are thousands of crowded scenes, and the grand occasion is unprecedented.

Jiang Mufeng's intention was to put the dragon boat race on the sea, He Xiaoqiao suggested to him, after all, it was the first time to hold such a competition, and the danger coefficient on the sea was not easy to grasp, not to mention, it was not convenient for the people to participate in watching, and it was better to hold it in the inland river.

Athletics are a happy thing, but it's not good to see if there are many people cheering on the scene, and it will be a lot of disappointment.

Jiang Mufeng thought about it, and in order to show his generosity and benevolence to his people, he decisively chose the address in Yijiang, the largest suburb of the city.

The specially built high platform has a good view, because it is by the river, not to mention the cool breeze, and there are ice cubes under the platform, which makes people feel comfortable even on a hot day.

The dragon boat that was built a few days ago stopped in front of the high platform, nine dragon boats, taking the meaning of ninety-nine to one. To make it easier to distinguish, all the dragon boats are painted in different colors. Black and white and red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple.

In the cheers of all the people, wearing a double dragon to win the pearl gold crown, wearing a bright yellow Jiang Mufeng with a smile on his face, holding a cinnabar pen to seriously put the finishing touches on each dragon boat.

As soon as the red pen fell, the dragon's eye opened, and the attendants who followed behind him raised their voices and shouted, "The auspicious dragon takes off!" ”

He Xiaoqiao watched with great interest on the high platform, not much interested in Jiang Mu's coquettish finishing touch, but extremely appreciative of the shouting attendant.

A representative of the disabled Zhijian! Although there is something missing from the bottom, his voice is loud and fierce, and he is full of energy, and he is not thirsty after shouting for so long!

Just when He Xiaoqiao was thinking about how to practice the voices of those attendants, Jiang Mufeng in the audience had already calmly finished the finishing touches for the nine dragon boats, and at this moment he was standing by the river and impassionedly announcing something.

He Xiaoqiao listened for a while, and found that they were all literary crepes, and soon lost interest.

Just as she was about to go back to the chair to sit and rest, Jiang Fenghao next to her suddenly grabbed her, and a pair of big hands covered both sides of her cheeks, blocking the sudden sound of firecrackers for her.

He Xiaoqiao turned his head and rubbed his face in his palm, although he didn't have much expression on his face, he was already smiling in his heart.

The warm appearance between the two made Jing He, who followed behind, look envious, holding a fruit in his hand and playing with it, but his eyes were secretly on Bai Shou, who was standing under the high platform and doing the garrison work.

As if he had a heart, Bai Shou actually turned his head at this time, the eyes of the two collided in the air, Jinghe involuntarily blushed, and hurriedly opened his eyes in disguise, and slammed the fruit in his hand into his mouth with a weak heart.

Bai Shou's eyesight is good, so he naturally saw all her shy appearance, and the originally very serious cool face immediately turned into snow after turning around, and the sun was shining like spring flowers, which made Hong Fang who was standing next to him dumbfounded, almost thinking that he had let the sun burn his brain, and kept encouraging him to go to the doctor to prescribe medicine to eat, so as not to become a fool one day.

Bai Shou's response was to directly punch him in the face, so Hong Fang brought a panda eye when he was caught off guard.

After the overwhelming sound of firecrackers, the dense drums sounded, and in a uniform sound, the nine dragon boats slowly left the shore and slid towards the center of the river to start a passionate competition.

The smell of gunpowder was all around the high platform, and the red paper was scattered in the white smoke, a festive appearance.

Those nobles and the ladies of the family had already stood up excitedly, looked at the riverside in the distance, and enthusiastically discussed the competition of the boys on the river.

"Lady," Jiang Fenghao put down the hand covering He Xiaoqiao's ears, frowned and fanned the smoke drifting over, "There is a miasma of smoke here, it's really not suitable to stay for a long time, let's go back first?" "You can watch the game at any time, and the daughter-in-law's body is important.

He Xiaoqiao actually liked to smell the smell of gunpowder, but considering that there was a small one in his stomach, in order not to let Jiang Fenghao also worry, he nodded, "Okay." ”

Anyway, there will be dragon boat races to watch in the future, and there is really no hurry, now that she is pregnant, it is more important to decide whether their baby is healthy or not, and everything else has to stand aside.

After saying hello to the Queen Mother sitting on the main seat, the husband and wife left together.

When he came, he was chic, and when he left, he was even more chic, except for letting people move a few rare melons and fruits and snacks on the table, and even Jiang Mufeng didn't tell him - who asked him to be close to the people under the high platform? It was so far away that the two of them didn't bother to walk over.

The two got into the carriage and walked slowly home, but they didn't know that at the same time, several hurried wheelbarrows were pushing a cart full of goods and ice cubes to deceive the eyes of the city defenders, all the way to the most remote alleys in the city.

The convoy that entered the city in several groups slowly gathered together, and finally stopped in front of a slightly dilapidated house in the alley, the leader of the burly figure raised his hand to signal the convoy to stop, and he looked cautiously left and right, and then stepped forward and knocked on the door.

After the three long and three short codes were crossed, the door creaked open, and a thief-eyed man came out of it, not surprised to see the convoy, but opened the gate a little, signaling them to hurry in, and he walked to the side to let the wind out.

The burly man in the lead did not speak, but nodded to the people behind him, who began to unload the goods in an orderly manner, and after carrying them into the house, even the bulky wheelbarrow was carried in.

It wasn't until everything was cleaned up that the thief-eyed man returned to the back of the door, and before closing the door, he didn't forget to poke his head out and look left and right, and then closed the door with peace of mind and carefully locked it.

"How? But all the things were brought? ”

"It's all here, right here." The burly man didn't care to wipe the sweat off his forehead, so he stepped forward himself, swept away the straw from a wheelbarrow, and lifted the planks on both sides, revealing a full of weapons shining with cold light underneath.

The thin man who opened the door stepped forward and flipped through it, picked up one of the ghost-headed knives and shone it at the sun, touched the blade with his finger, and nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, much better than before." ”

The burly man puffed up his chest proudly, "That's natural, I dare to guarantee that the master will be satisfied this time." ”

"The knife is a good knife, and the arrowhead is also good, but the output is less." The thin man looked at the feather arrow in his hand and said, "What the master means is to take advantage of the fact that the Dog Emperor is outside the city for the past two days, and transport everything over as soon as possible, so as not to miss the time to make a move." ”

"Today, the riverside is mixed with fish and dragons, and there are firecrackers as a cover, which is a good opportunity to start, why doesn't the master start over there?" The burly man asked in a low voice as he motioned for his men to remove the boxes of weapons from the car.

"You know what?" The thin man dropped the arrow, patted off the dust on his hand and snorted coldly, "There are heavy troops guarding the riverside today, just a few of us, we will definitely not be able to get close to the Dog Emperor, so it is obvious that it will fail, do you want everyone to die in vain?" ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the burly man, and his words were full of sarcasm, "Without a 100% certainty, the master will definitely not let the brothers die unjustly." If you don't understand, don't say it, so that the master won't hear the joke. ”

"You're ......!" The burly man made his face red with his words, and he didn't know whether he was angry or ashamed.

"Well, no more nonsense!" As soon as the thin man shook his hand, he commanded, "Tomorrow the master will come here to inspect, and you had better show me some cleverness." The things are put away, you must be careful when you go back, don't let the people of the government get caught, and cause trouble to the master! ”

The fox fake tiger dog thing, one day you will be asked to kneel and beg the uncle to spare your life!

The burly man thought angrily in his heart, although his anger did not decrease, in order to take care of the overall situation, he didn't quarrel with him in the end, just pretended not to hear anything, snorted and buried his head in moving things with a black face.
