Chapter 630

early morning.

Chang'an City was extremely quiet, and there were few pedestrians on the streets.

But beside the Bahe River, there are huge crowds of people. At a glance, they are densely packed with human heads.

"Oh, old Zhangtou, aren't you lame, why are you here!"

"Isn't that Wang Ergou? He was going to die last month. Is this a flashback?"

"Grandma Liu is eighty years old, and she can still walk alone, which is admirable!"

The number of people present today is more than three times that of yesterday.

Chang'an is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and the people here are more concerned about state affairs than people in any other place.

As soon as the new Dongying treasure ship appeared, all the people glared at it.

Su Woyazi deliberately parked the Dongying treasure ship in the center of the Bahe River, so that the common people could not reach it even if they threw stones.

Matsushita Xia Mo said confidently: "Prince, Dongying will win today!"

"Definitely!"

"Definitely!"

A group of Dongying warriors shouted loudly, the movement was not small.

Unexpectedly, just like this, it angered the people watching the excitement around.

"Little Dongpu people, go back to Dongpu!"

"Daoren Richuan is right, Dongying people are not good people!"

"Kill them..."

Crash.

Many people threw the things in their hands at Su Woyazi and others.

Rotten vegetable leaves, straw sandals, pee mat, half a flatbread...

Su Woyazi was protected by Dongying warriors and kept retreating. Finally, when he came near the big tent of the Tang court, the people stopped.

"Daoren Richuan, this is too much!"

"Baga, who is Richuan Taoist? Matsushita, didn't I ask you to investigate?"

Su Woyazi roared loudly.

Matsushita Xia Fu said helplessly: "Prince, I have already dispatched more than 20 people, and I even gave Master Yang Yuhua a pearl, but Taoist Richuan just appeared out of nowhere, and there is no useful news at all!"

"Damn... Baga!"

Su Woya scolded, and then said: "Today, I will win Du He and Datang in an upright manner, and I will make Datang lose all face. Hmph, I will let these nasty guys see Dongying powerful!"

"EGL will win!"

The warriors started shouting again.

Li Junxian came over and said to Su Woyazi with no expression on his face: "Prince Su Woyazi, you better tell your subordinates to shut up, otherwise this general can't guarantee that those people will rush in and beat people!"

Su Woyazi: "..."

……

on the high platform.

Li Er asked, "How long will it take to start comparing boats?"

Chen Shuda said: "Your Majesty, there is still a stick of incense to compare the boat. Su Woyazi has already sent someone to urge him, but Du He, Duke of Huyi County, is nowhere to be seen, and neither is the boat of the Dream Group!"

Ok?
Li Er frowned.

The surrounding ministers also turned their heads to look for it.

But where is the figure of Du He.

"Could it be that Du He fell asleep?"

"It's unreasonable. This matter is a big one. Du He swore yesterday that he would win the competition, but now that the competition is about to start, Du He is nowhere to be found. What should we do?"

"The old man already knows that Du He only has the ability to brag, compared to boats? Even the skilled craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry can't help, what can he do?"

Even though Du Ruhui was present, many people jumped out to criticize Du He.

Du He's popularity in the court is really bad.

Yang Yuhua said: "Your Majesty, the matter of comparing boats is a matter of my Tang Dynasty's face. The Duke of Huyi County treats it like a joke, so don't take it to heart. Please issue a decree to punish me!"

"Your Majesty, I would like to go to Dream Group and invite the Duke of Huyi County!"

Li Er pondered: "Zhao Yang, go to Dream Group and bring Du He."

Everyone found that Li Er was not happy.

As soon as the words fell, I heard someone shouting not far away: "Give way, who is stepping on my foot..."

Everyone turned their heads to look, and saw Du He walking over from the crowd, looking at him with unkempt hair and torn clothes, he was burned in several places, and he was holding a big pancake in his hand, eating while walking .

Many people showed disgusted expressions.

"Why is Du He like this? Not only the people of Chang'an, but also foreign envoys are present for such a big event than a ship. Isn't this discrediting our Tang Dynasty?"

Someone whispered.

Li Er asked displeasedly: "Du He, why did you appear like this? Also, the boat race will start soon, why did you disappear for so long?"

Yang Yuhua secretly thought, hahaha, Du He, just wait to bear His Majesty's anger.

Du He stepped forward, held up the half-eaten cake, and handed it to Li Er, "Your Majesty, have you had breakfast? Would you like some? This is made in the canteen of my Dream Group. !"

Li Er had dark lines on his face.

"Du He, don't make excuses. Competing boats is a major national event now, but you have not appeared for a long time, and you are still unkempt. It really hurts the face of the Tang Dynasty. All the civil and military officials, the people of Chang'an, and even foreign envoys are waiting for you. Don't you want to give everyone an explanation?" Li Er asked in a deep voice.

Du He ate the remaining cakes in twos and twos, patted his chest, and said: "Your Majesty, I am wronged. It's not that I don't want to come early. It really took a lot of time to build the ship. In order to ensure that today's boat is safe, I brought a dream There are more than 300 people in the group. They started building the ship early yesterday morning, and it was not completed until before the incense stick. I didn't even have time to eat breakfast and change clothes, so I rushed here. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Only then did everyone suddenly realize that Du He's tattered clothes were not intentional, but were burned by the fire, and his unkempt appearance was not an act, but a lack of time.

Li Er said with some embarrassment: "Okay, I blamed you wrongly, come here, give me a seat, and prepare food for Huyi county magistrate!"

Li Er knew that today's boat was safe, so he was in a good mood.

Chen Shuda asked, "Magistrate of Huyi County, how dare you ask about your boat?"

"Oh? There!" Du He said, pointing to the Bahe River in the distance.

Everyone turned their heads to look.

Everyone tried to widen their eyes, but they couldn't see anything.

"Du He, are you playing tricks on us? You are deceiving the emperor!" Someone said indignantly.

Du He smiled, "Look again!"

"Boat, there's a... boat over there!"

Someone suddenly shouted.

Everyone widened their eyes again, and finally saw clearly that there was a broken boat that couldn't be smaller on the surface of the Bahe River.

The wreck was slowly coming this way.

There is a flag on the wrecked ship, with three large characters written on it: Richuan.

The hull is tattered, it is just a small wooden boat, and it is the kind that looks like it will fall apart at any time after years of wind and rain. It can seat up to four people.

Everyone almost fainted.

"Mr. Huyi County, is this the boat you spent all your time building?"

"Du He, if you dare to compare this wrecked ship with the treasured ship of Japan, I'll die in the water grass!"

"Mr. Huyi County, is this joke going too far?"

Everyone turned their heads and looked at Du He sitting on the chair with a look of embarrassment, and said one after another.
