Yang Qi bit Zhang Meng tightly, veins bulged on his face, and he kicked his legs quickly, using all his might.

"Kid, get out of the way! I'm going to win the championship today!"

Zhang Meng was surprised. He didn't expect that this old guy Yang Qi was so good at riding a bike.

He cursed inwardly and stepped harder, determined to throw Yang Qi off.

The two were chasing each other and were about to break the record, but unexpectedly a dark shadow came rushing from behind.

This person is Lao Wang!

It turned out that Lao Wang had been hiding his strength in the first half of the race and only displayed his unique skills at the last moment.

He just clamped his legs together, leaned forward, and rushed out like a flash of black lightning.

"Oh my God!" The audience in the stands exclaimed.

With his nearly perfect riding skills, Lao Wang actually surpassed Yang Qi and Zhang Meng.

Seeing the championship right in front of him, Lao Wang gritted his teeth and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

"Old man, don't be so arrogant! Today I will let you see my Kung Fu!" Yang Qi roared, and his legs spun wildly like propellers.

"Old man, with your strength, you can only bully a kid!" Zhang Meng's eyes turned red with anxiety, and he rode forward desperately.

The three of them engaged in a thrilling competition in the last 100 meters, and it was actually evenly matched.

"Oh my god, this game is so exciting, isn't it?"

"These three people are going to heaven. My legs are weak just watching them!"

"Come on! Come on! It doesn't matter who wins, it's so exciting!"

The entire audience was stunned, and no one dared to breathe, for fear of missing any exciting moment.

Hundred-meter sprint, in a flash.

Just when Yang Qi and Zhang Meng were evenly matched, Lao Wang suddenly exerted his strength, dived down, and forced the front of the car to the front.

"Oh my god! Lao Wang crossed the finish line!"

"Lao Wang is first! Lao Wang won the championship!"

The whole audience was boiling and cheering.

Lao Wang raised his hands high, tears welling up in his eyes with excitement.

"Mom, I didn't embarrass you today! I give you this championship!"

Although Yang Qi, who came in second, felt a little regretful, he was not discouraged.

"Old Wang, you are quite capable, let's spar with each other some other time!"

The third place winner Zhang Meng was equally generous. He patted Lao Wang on the shoulder and said loudly: "Brother, today is your glory, but I won't let you off next year!"

Although the other unsuccessful competitors failed to make it to the podium, they gained valuable experience and made friends with many riders from all over the world.

"I didn't expect Fengyang to have such a powerful master. We country folk have such a narrow vision."

"Yes, we must practice hard when we get back, and we will challenge each other again next time!"

"Fengyang is indeed a place with a unique charm. The people here are like living gods."

Although the contestants from surrounding cities did not perform well, they greatly broadened their horizons and had great respect for Fengyang.

At the celebration banquet after the game, Chu Ze specially invited officials from all walks of life to attend.

After three rounds of drinking, all the officials toasted Chu Ze and asked for advice on how to govern Fengyang. "Your Majesty, how do you inspire the potential of the people and make them all have special skills? I am really impressed by what you have done today." The magistrate of Xiangyang County asked sincerely.

Chu Ze smiled heartily, cupped his hands and said, "You are too kind, Magistrate Li. I am only creating conditions and giving the people a stage to display their talents. As long as the government does more practical things for the people, the wisdom and strength of the people will naturally burst forth."

"Oh, Your Highness, what you said is absolutely right! I have never thought about this truth. It seems that I have to reflect on it carefully when I return." The magistrate of Jing County was suddenly enlightened.

The officials spoke one after another and praised Chu Ze's insights.

Chu Ze also took the opportunity to share his thoughts with the officials. His words were lighthearted but every word was precious.

"Gentlemen, the people are the foundation of the country. Only when the foundation is strong can the country be stable and peaceful. Only when the people are prosperous and the country is strong can the country be stable and peaceful for a long time."

"Your Highness is right about your teachings. We have benefited a lot from them, but we still hope for your guidance in the future." All the officials stood up and bowed to Chu Ze.

Chu Ze waved his hands repeatedly and said modestly: "You are too kind. We are all loyal subjects of the Ming Dynasty. We should work together to make progress. Fengyang is just a microcosm of our thousands of prefectures and counties. As long as we govern with our heart, there will be no place that cannot be governed."

"Your Highness is absolutely right! I am willing to serve you as best I can and seek benefits for the people! I hope Your Highness will visit my county in the future and give me some advice." The middle-aged county magistrate was full of confidence and high morale.

"I feel the same way. How about our governments exchange ideas and share what we have in the future?" He said while clasping his fists.

"Great! I fully agree with this!"

"I am willing to serve you as a humble servant, and I hope you will take good care of me in the future!"

The officials all spoke one after another, saying that they would take Fengyang as an example and improve people's livelihood and develop culture and education without delay.

Chu Ze nodded with satisfaction, feeling sincerely happy for the officials' ambitions.

It was really unexpected that a cycling competition would lead to such a high enthusiasm for reform in the surrounding states and counties.

Chu Ze picked up the wine glass, looked around at everyone, and said loudly: "After today's farewell, I hope that after you go back, you can all use Fengyang as an example to encourage yourself and benefit the people. If Fengyang is lucky enough in the future, I will come to you to seek advice. I hope you will be generous with your advice then!"

"Your Highness is too polite. We have a long way to go. I will do my best to be a good host and welcome Your Highness!"

"I hereby invite Your Majesty to come to Huaicai County and give us some advice!"

The wine glasses clinked and toasts were clinked.

For a moment, there was toasting and drinking.

The Fengyang competition came to a successful conclusion, but the fire of hope it ignited spread like wildfire, illuminating the way forward for the surrounding states and counties.

Chu Ze looked at the clear night sky with a smile on his face.

The competition was very successful. It not only enhanced Fengyang's reputation, but also laid a mass foundation for the implementation of new policies in the future.

Perhaps, the seeds of reform have been quietly planted.

This ancient land of the Central Plains is surging with vigorous new forces.

In the future, there will be more surprises waiting for him to discover.

Chu Ze raised his glass to the sky and took a sip of the fragrant wine.

Countless stars are reflected in the cup, just like Fengyang's future, bright and brilliant.

Although the cycling competition has come to an end, the enthusiasm in Fengyang City has not diminished at all.

In the streets and alleys, after dinner, people are still talking about the wonderful final with great interest.

"Auntie Zhang, do you think Lao Wang's riding skills are as good as flying? I never thought that he could make a comeback at the last moment!" Uncle Wang gestured excitedly.

Aunt Zhang nodded and agreed, "Of course! You can't judge a person by his appearance. Look at Lao Wang's skinny appearance. Who would have thought he had these skills? I guess he has practiced martial arts a lot!" (End of this chapter)
