Chapter 194 Improved Horse

The young masters looked at each other, knowing that they had been dragging their feet, they couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.

"Brothers, please rest assured." Ren Ning comforted them.

"All the teams have to paddle a [-]-mile waterway, and almost everyone has never been trained to paddle such a long distance. Of course we will be tired if we are not used to it, but the opponents will not be easy either."

What's more, other teams don't have fresh troops like them who just came from the battlefield.

After reacting, everyone was refreshed.

Someone tutted: "Maybe we can be upset!"

Some team members looked hesitantly at the heavy hull below them, "If there is no accident like the year before last, the first five problems should not be serious."

Everyone subconsciously raised their heads and looked at the bright yellow figure on the viewing platform on the right.

Emperor Changxing was watching from the shore.Who dares to mess around like the year before last, really desperate?

"Top five? It's too conservative." Someone giggled: "I think the top three are fine."

cough!
Huo Qing coughed.

"The lengthening of the competition schedule is indeed beneficial to us to some extent, but it is also extremely limited. After all, our team was formed late and we haven't run in well enough. Therefore, everyone should not aim too high, try to keep calm and play steadily!"

He glared at the laughing teammates.

"You guys must remember, this is a protracted battle. Look at the brothers of Xingluo and Zhennanguan, don't be frizzy and laughing, let alone use up all your strength at the beginning."

A few people looked at Ren Ning and the others, suddenly became solemn, and hurriedly responded in unison!
Huo Qing nodded with satisfaction.

"Huang Ming!"

He turned his head and told the drummer: "It's up to you how we trained before. Unless it's the final sprint, don't mess up your drumbeat because we are temporarily ahead or behind."

During the dragon boat race, the rhythm of the paddlers all follow the beat of the drums.

If the drumbeat is fast, they row fast; if the drumbeat is soft, the rowers will be relatively relaxed.

"My lord, I will remember." Huang Ming nodded calmly.

Huo Qing gave a few more instructions, asking everyone to prepare.

Everyone quickly grabbed the oars, encouraged each other, and waited for the start of the race.

Ren Ning took the time to look left and right.

Soon he was taken aback.

Coincidentally, Sun Ye on the track No. [-] was looking over with a frosty face.

The two eyes met.

Ren Ning smiled, revealing his beautiful white teeth.Sun Ye trembled with anger and almost bit off his other teeth.

However, the two teams are separated by two tracks, far apart.Sun Ye had no choice but to turn his face away heavily in the end.

Ren Ning looked away, completely ignoring Sun Ye.Not long after, his eyes fell on a huge and generous body.

Jin Wang Chen Xiulan is perhaps the most careless person in the entire canal.

He pulled his neck and looked at the girls on the embankment.It's just that the distance is too far, and there are more people than sand on the river bank, so he really can't see clearly.

In the end, Chen Xiulan could only stare at the young waiter not far away, and stroked his chin half-appreciatively and half-compassionately.

Ren Ning sweated profusely.

This one can't be because the concubine Jin at home is too strict, and now she feels pretty when she sees the servants.

Apart from Chen Xiulan, Ren Ning looked for Qin Wang and Qi Wang and other princes, and silently looked back after seeing the track where they were on.

After another inspection, officials from the Ministry of Rites inspected all the dragon boats and confirmed that they were correct.

"Get ready!" the servant screamed.

Everyone pricked up their ears.

beep!

A sharp whistle sounded.

The long embankment suddenly boiled.The cheers and cheers of the people sounded out one after another.

The palaces, each of which is determined to win the championship, have already prepared for it.A large number of servants and guards lined up in a long line, shouting slogans in unison.

"Qin Palace, come on!"

"Qi Palace must win, the champion must belong to us!"

"Come on, Seventh Prince's House, you are the best."

……

There are indeed many people, but there are always some individual voices that are particularly loud.

Ren Ning even heard his wife's lark-like voice clearly: "Come on, the government of the town, come on, my husband!"

Boom boom boom!
The drums on the dragon boat began to beat fiercely.Several dragon boats rushed out in an instant.

Ren Ning uses three things at once.

While listening to Huang Ming's drumming, he paddled the water steadily, while looking around to check the situation of other teams.

Before the whistle sounded, the dragon boats on the [-]th and [-]th tracks next to them rushed out several feet eagerly.Ren Ning's vision suddenly widened.

Sure enough, several capable teams did not rush forward in a hurry to try to get a good start, but moved forward steadily.

But there are exceptions among the lagging teams.

King Jin's dragon boat probably really couldn't catch up.The blue veins on the hands of the rowers were bulging, and they paddled even more, but the speed of the dragon boat just couldn't get up.

Their drumbeats were even more chaotic, fast and slow, sounding completely out of rhythm.

After reading these, Ren Ning looked away and concentrated on paddling the dragon boat.

Traveling against the current, retreating if not advancing.

The dragon boat of Zhen Guogong's mansion was not in a hurry, and kept a steady speed and rowed upstream.

In the left viewing platform on the shore, Jixiang, who had finished placing his bets, crowded back to Yingpan's side.

She hopped her feet anxiously, "It's too bad. The general and the others are far behind."

"This is just the beginning, what are you in a hurry for?" Yingpan was very annoyed.

"It's not in a hurry." Jixiang disagreed.

It was the first time she saw that there was no dragon boat race on the grassland.But Ji Xiang felt that the dragon boat should be the same as the horse race.As long as one step is fast, then every step is fast!

For example, Ren Ning's Chasing Wind and Lei Er's Ben Lei, as long as they start first, it is almost impossible for other horses to catch up.

"It's different." Yingpan couldn't laugh or cry, "Zhuifeng and Benlei are top horses that are unique in a million. Both speed and endurance are excellent. If they start first, it is really difficult for other horses to catch up."

"But dragon boat racing is different."

Yingpan pointed to several dragon boats far away.

"Those boats that row fast are like the native horses of Cloud Cry. They are fast at first but have little stamina. It doesn't take long before they run out of strength and have to slow down."

"And our team is like Xiliang horses with steady feet. They don't seem to run very fast at first, but they can run at a steady speed for a long time. Eventually they will catch up with and even surpass those horses that slow down. "

Jixiang is skeptical.

She didn't know anything about dragon boats, but when Yingpan used horses as an example, she understood.

"It would be great if the dragon boat team could have the speed of the Yunchui horse and the stamina of the Xiliang horse like the improved horses." Feeling auspicious.

"It's not difficult." When it comes to raising horses, Yingpan thinks of her father who passed away and her eldest brother whose life and death are unknown.

She lowered her voice, "If all the dragon boat members are from the Starfall Legion, it might be possible."

as predicted.

After two or three miles away from the starting point, those dragon boats that were rowing forward with all their strength at the beginning were still fast, but they had gradually slowed down.

Ren Ning and the other lagging dragon boats still have a considerable distance to catch up, but anyone who looks at them can see that the distance between the two sides is shrinking step by step.

Emperor Changxing looked away from the river, and turned to the commander of the Forbidden Army: "Zuo Fu, have you found out anything?"

He asked if it was the grease in front of the dotting stage.

"Your Majesty," Zuo Fu's face was full of perplexity, "Excuse me is incompetent, there is no definite news yet."

"Your Majesty." Ren Yi, who was waiting next to him, saluted: "There are many people of all kinds at the West Wharf, and various situations may happen. Lord Zuo naturally puts the safety of His Majesty and all the ladies as the most important thing. Other things can be postponed for the time being. push."

Zuo Fu could not help but give him a grateful look.

Emperor Changxing nodded, and his eyes fell on the river again. "Turn back and cooperate with the Jinlin Guards to investigate this matter as soon as possible."
