Chapter 195 Out
On the wide moat, 25 dragon boats chase each other.

Seeing the dragon boats behind them getting closer and closer, the leading team couldn't help feeling anxious.

Boom boom boom!
The drums beat faster and faster.

wow wow wow.

The rowers subconsciously increased their strength and paddled the water vigorously.

However, these teams from the Zhen Guogong Mansion didn't realize it, they still maintained their own rhythm and drove forward step by step.

Soon the distance between the two groups of teams widened again.

Yu Tao raised his head and looked forward with wide eyes dripping with water.

At this time, his boat is still quite a distance from the midpoint, which is the turning point of ten miles.

However, he had been exerting too much force before, and now his arms were faintly sore.

The most terrible thing was that he fell in front of the dotting stage, and it was fine to be ridiculed. At this time, his waist was even more painful.

wow wow wow.

Accompanied by the sound of drums, the oars of the team neatly rowed across the water, and the sound of the water stirred up was still vigorous and powerful, but it was difficult to conceal the bellows-like fierce panting of the team members.

Even the drummer seemed tired, and the drums sounded a little sluggish.

When it's over, I don't have the energy left.

Yu Tao's heart was cold.

He knew that his team was here to run with him, but when he was young and frivolous, who secretly didn't have the idea of ​​becoming famous all over the world?
Just like Xiao Gang.

Yu Tao suddenly remembered this unscrupulous second son who had been deceived by him.

More than half a year ago, Xiao Gang was still a joke among the young masters of Xingji City.

However, in just half a year, he has returned from the battlefield triumphantly.Then, he changed suddenly and became a rising star among the young generation in Xingji City besides Ren Ning.

Even forced his elder brother Xiao Rui, who was backed by his grandfather, to restrain himself a bit.

It would be great if I was also the next Xiao Gang.

Yu Tao looked forward to it.

He is just the second son of Zhongqinbo's mansion, and there is an older brother in front of him.And now that he is an adult, the family should be separated in a few days.

If he doesn't make some achievements, his family will have to rely on others after his parents' elder brother and sister-in-law take power...

Thinking about it, Yu Tao secretly sighed.

He subconsciously accelerated the paddle in his hand.

As long as you get a good ranking in the dragon boat race, you can show your face in front of Emperor Changxing.

This is not only of great benefit to his future, but also other people will look up to him.Maybe Emperor Changxing would be happy and send him to any county as a sheriff...

Yu Tao swallowed, and soon woke up from the dream.

The worst thing is to separate the family in the future, and get more property...

Cranky, do not know how long.

"Brother Tao, brother Tao?"

Someone behind gasped heavily and made a suspicious sound.

how?

Yu Tao was in a trance for a while, and finally came back to his senses.

He looked up.

It's less than a mile from the halfway point, but the team is exhausted.Many people don't even have the strength to lift the oars, and they are waving the oars entirely by will.

But he just lost his mind and forgot to be tired. He didn't notice the drumbeat at all in his wild thoughts, and just paddled the oars mechanically.

At this moment, he saw that he was the only one of the twenty oarsmen in the team paddling vigorously. The dragon boat had already deviated from the track and was slanting towards the No. [-] track next to it.

Worse!

The whole team was shocked.

Because the two teams fought each other during the dragon boat races in previous years, and Emperor Changxing was not present this time, the Ministry of Rites specially formulated strict rules.

During the race, as long as the dragon boat invades other tracks, even if it is only an inch, it is considered a violation.The whole team was eliminated on the spot, and even all the players had to be punished collectively.

"Bring it back!" Yu Tao shouted anxiously.

He really wanted to show off in the dragon boat race so that Emperor Changxing would notice him.But never in a way that violates the rules.

The drummer stopped suddenly.

Whoa whoa whoa!
The oarsmen were sweating from fright, their hands and feet were weak, and they quickly paddled the water, trying hard to control the direction of the boat.

Fortunately, when the dragon boat reaches the midpoint, it has to turn around and go down the river.Therefore, they also trained to turn the direction. Seeing that the bow of the boat was about to touch the track rope, the dragon boat finally stabilized.

Yu Tao was about to breathe a sigh of relief.

call!
A breeze blew over.

The track rope moved slightly and directly touched his pink dragon boat.

Whoa!

The official of the Ministry of Rites who was in charge of supervision had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and suddenly raised the red flag in his hand.

"Track eight, the Zhongqin Bofu team invaded other tracks."

"Out!"

Yu Tao's eyes darkened.

He suddenly forgot the pain in his waist, and quickly stood up to protest.

"Hey, what's your name? Keep your dog eyes open. That rope was blown by the wind. We didn't invade the other tracks at all..."

However, in a hurry, he forgot that the dragon boat under his feet was still moving.

He was still talking yelling, and his body already tilted involuntarily.

thump!
Yu Tao plunged into the water.

Caught off guard, he was poured several mouthfuls of canal water, "Pull me up quickly."

woohoo!

At this time, several dragon boats quickly passed by the tracks on both sides.No one looked at him at all.

snort!
The referee of the Ministry of Rituals quickly withdrew the red flag in his hand, without even looking at Yu Tao who was thumping in the water, and resolutely upheld his verdict.

The moat near the West Wharf was chosen as the dragon boat track because the river is straight and spacious with good sightlines.

hum~
Seeing someone fall into the water, countless people on the embankment were in an uproar.

Someone scratched their necks and looked around worriedly.

The water in the moat city is deep, and it's the Dragon Boat Festival at this time, so don't expect any accidents.

However, many people shouted and cursed loudly.

"I'm so angry! Whose family is the dragon boat in the powder? Who is the bastard who fell into the water? I curse their family's ancestors."

"I made a big bet. If I don't have a team in this dragon boat race, it will be against the rules. Uh, I lost my underwear."

After all, who would have thought that under Emperor Changxing's nose, there would be a team that would dare to mess around?
Emperor Changxing had bad eyesight, but good ears.

"What happened?" He scowled.

The people next to each other looked at each other.

cough!
Chang Lu coughed, "Your Majesty, Uncle Zhongqin's mansion's dragon boat invaded other tracks and was ruled out. The second son Yu tried to argue with the referee, but fell into the river by mistake."

"Nothing happened to the person, right?" Emperor Changxing's face was so dark that water dripped out.

Beforehand, the Ministry of Rituals had been paying attention, and there were many foreign envoys on the scene. The dragon boats could strive for the top, but they were not allowed to do anything else, so as not to lose the face of Emperor Changxing and Yun Chui.

Yet it happened.

Yu Er, Uncle Zhongqin!

He memorized these two names viciously.

Chang Lu lowered his eyes.

He had served Emperor Changxing for more than 20 years, so he was aware of his master's mood at this time, so he silently lit candles for Uncle Zhongqin's residence in his heart.

"Second Master Yu is fine, he has been rescued by the team members."

Emperor Changxing nodded and stopped asking.

With the rapid changes in the arena, the dragon boats of Zhongqinbo Mansion stopped to save someone, and fell behind all the dragon boats in an instant.

Fifth track.

Ren Ning swung his oar vigorously and looked up.

Their dragon boats were no longer far behind, they had already caught up, and even squeezed to the upper middle position.

There are only five teams left in front of them.

And those dragon boats who rushed upstream with all their strength at the beginning have collectively fallen behind by a large margin.Even the distance from them is getting farther and farther.

"Attention, the midpoint is coming soon." Huang Ming, who was playing drums, reminded loudly.

Everyone cheered up and looked forward subconsciously.

Thirty feet away is a horizontal rope.

Only when the head of the dragon boat touches the rope representing the midpoint can the dragon boat turn around and go down the water.

Huo Qing looked around, "Attention everyone. Put the dragon boat behind the rope and turn around."

"Understood." Everyone was prepared and nodded in agreement.

Although the dragon boat head can turn around as soon as it touches the midpoint line.But it is still too narrow compared to the captain's track.They all saw Yu Tao's situation just now and had to guard against it.

Fortunately, the dragon boats on the left and right tracks did not catch up at this time, and there was an empty space behind the midpoint line.And as long as they cross the midpoint line, they can turn the dragon boat in a few seconds.
