"Boom, boom, boom..." The sound of the drums became more and more intense, and dragon boats several feet long but only a few feet wide were being put into the river, and their bows were all carved into a The dragon's head with its mouth wide open, its eyes wide open, and its tail is also a dragon's tail that seems to be wobbling.There is also a flag on the tail of the dragon boats. There is no pattern on the flags, but the colors of the flags on each dragon boat are completely different, and there is a drum in the middle.

As the dragon boat entered the water, the crowd burst into cheers, and everyone was looking forward to the dragon boat race.After a while, several rows of people appeared in everyone's sight. They are the protagonists of today's dragon boat race—the dragon boat racers.They are wearing clothes of the same color as the flags on the dragon boat, which are black, white, blue, red, blue, yellow and flower colors, a total of seven kinds.When the seven teams came here, everyone cheered, and the people sent them to the dragon boat as if they were sending off warriors.

"Mr. Zhou, which of these seven-color dragon boats can win?" Xiang Liang asked as he watched the competitors slowly enter the dragon boat.

Fu Su was taken aback for a moment, he really didn't know which dragon boat Xiang Liang sent, he said just now that he would win, but now it's hard to say, but when he stared, he saw Lao Chen in Tsing Yi, so he simply Said: "I am more optimistic about the team in Tsing Yi, it seems that their morale is the highest."

"Haha, it seems that Zhou Changshi still hopes that the ship of your prefect's mansion will win. Then why did you compliment the general just now?" Xiang Liang said and glanced at Fusu.

Fusu smiled lightly and said: "According to my heart, of course I hope that the dragon boat I selected can win, but considering that General Xiang has worked so hard to find the King of Chu to promise such a big reward, I can be sure that you, General, have a lot of respect." Winning with confidence, so falling down is really contradictory.”

"Contradictions are not contradictory. You will understand when the game is over." Xiang Liang suddenly turned his eyes to the distance as he spoke. A large group of people drove slowly around a carriage.Judging by the grandeur, it should be the king of Chu who arrived, and Xiang Liang said, "Our great king has arrived. Mr. Zhou has not seen the king yet, so let's go down with this general." high tower.Fu Su also wanted to see what the King of Chu looked like, so he followed Xiang Liang down to see the King of Chu.

The carriage was made of wood, and the carriage was carved with exquisite patterns and patterns. This carriage might have cost a lot of manpower and material resources. One look at the ostentation, and Fusu knew that the king of Chu was not a capable monarch.As the carriage moved forward, the crowd was blocked by the guards. After the carriage reached the riverside, a servant stepped forward and lifted the cover of the carriage, and one came down from above. . . . . .Child.Fusu's eyeballs were about to drop when he saw this scene. He really didn't know that the King of Chu was actually a child. Seeing him timidly looking at the crowd around him, after seeing Xiang Liang slightly nod his head at him, he finally stopped. Slowly came to a high place and stood still, cleared his throat, and said in a childish voice: "Today is the first Dragon Boat Festival after the reconstruction of our Great Chu Kingdom. In order to inspire the enterprising spirit of our great Chu heroes , so I set up a big reward for the strong to win and do my best for the revival of my great Chu." Hearing what he said, Fusu just wanted to laugh. The common people didn't think so. After hearing the announcement of the King of Chu, everyone's emotions became even higher and they all applauded.King Xiao Chu glanced at Xiang Liang and said, "I don't have much to say, I just wish the brave men who participated in this dragon boat race can show their strengths. Let the competition begin!" He said with some guards Together they slowly ascended a high platform.

The racers got on the dragon boat one by one, holding paddles in their hands, waiting for the sound of the gong to start the race.They had completely different thoughts in their minds. The cyan Taishoufu team didn't want to win, the red Xiangliang team and the black Qudou team each hoped to win, but the other teams were pulled to make up the numbers. Of course The purpose of the suit Liu Bang team is still not clear.Qu Dou was a descendant who claimed to be a descendant of the Qu family of Chu State who suddenly led thousands of people to surrender after the King of Chu ascended the throne.After he came, Xiang Liang had an official who fought with him, but he was Wen and Xiang Liang was Wu.

When Fusu and Xiang Liang boarded the high platform again, there was a sound of gongs below, and the crowd burst into cheers, and the dragon boat race finally started.

At the beginning, the seven dragon boats were running side by side, and it was impossible to tell which one was superior, but after a while, the strength and weakness became apparent. The four boats of red, cyan, black and suit were already ahead of the other three, but now It seems that the blue one is the fastest.Fusu didn't expect that the team he chose would be so powerful, and his heart beat faster as the four ships moved forward.The crowd below has been completely attracted by this fierce competition, and the common people are cheering for their optimistic dragon boat, and the scene is very lively.

At this time, a look in the crowd did not look at the dragon boat fighting on the river, but at the familiar figure on the high platform. "Prince Fusu is not dead, it's God's blessing." Peng Hong's heart was pounding, and he was more excited than the people beside him.

Compared with these excitements, the faces of Liu Bang and others are very calm. Perhaps they know that this assassination must be 100% calm to be successful.Liu Bang watched the race on the river, but asked Zhou Bo beside him, "Has everything been arranged?"

Zhou Bo also replied calmly: "Don't worry, Peigong, we have purchased a special crossbow for the Qin army. With our bow, Xiang Liang will definitely die here!"

After Liu Bang got a positive answer, he stopped talking and continued to devote himself to the dragon boat race.

Under the training and leadership of Lao Chen, the cyan dragon boat has always been ahead of the other dragon boats, but the other boats are not willing to fail. The distance between the few boats is very small, and it may only take a breath to catch up.At this time, the dragon boat had reached the opposite bank and began to turn back.

Fusu knew that the blue one would fall behind soon, because Yu Fulong said that the protagonists this time were Xiang Liang and others, not the prefect's mansion as the proprietor.Sure enough, after turning his head, the speed of the cyan dragon boat slowed down, and it was overtaken by the other three dragon boats in a blink of an eye, and it started to follow behind them, and it was not thrown away by them.At this time, among the other three dragon boats, Xiang Liang's red dragon boat was the fastest, but the black dragon boat, which was only a foot away from it, was not to be outdone, and bit it tightly, and Liu Bang's colorful dragon boat was also more than a foot away from the black dragon boat. .

The three dragon boats maintained this posture for most of the journey, and they were about to enter the final sprint stage.There were bursts of shouts from the crowd, all cheering for the three dragon boats.At this time, Miss Yu's master and servant were jumping and clapping their hands to cheer up the blue dragon boat on their side. Fusu noticed the two of them yelling in total disregard of their appearance, and his eyes revealed a funny expression. But then he was attracted by the three dragon boats competing for victory.

There are still the last ten feet, eight feet, five feet. At this time, the dragon boat of different colors actually surpassed the black dragon boat in one fell swoop and came to the second place.People on the shore can already see the arms of the paddlers on the dragon boat that are throbbing because they keep paddling their oars.

At three feet, at this time, the two boats of flowers and red are already driving side by side, and it is impossible to tell the order.

Fusu's eyes were firmly attracted by the moment of the final decisive battle, just like watching the [-]-meter trapeze competition on TV back then.

At this moment, Hongzhou suddenly stopped for some reason.Huachuan took the opportunity to surpass it and leap to the first place.

The flower boat finally hit the red line blocking the river, and it won.When the oarsmen on the boat came down, they were already surrounded by the people.

"I didn't expect that the Qudou people would do something like this, in order to prevent me from winning the victory." Xiang Liang said a little angrily.The people on the shore didn't see it, but they who stood on the high ground could see it clearly. At the last moment, the black boat deliberately lagged behind, and when the flower and red boats were fighting for victory, the oarsmen pulled the wooden boat in their hands. The oar was thrown and hit the wooden oar of one of the oarsmen in the red boat, which made his stroke rhythm different from that of the others, so he suddenly slowed down at the last moment.But that person's movements were extremely subtle, if Xiang Liang hadn't been condescending, he might not have discovered it.

Fusu also didn't expect that someone would do something that harms others and does not benefit himself, so he only responded with a wry smile.But Xiang Liang knew that as long as he hit himself, it would be in Qu Dou's greatest interest.But on the one hand, they didn't gain superficial benefits by doing so, and on the other hand, only the people on the stage saw this scene, so Xiang Liang had no choice but to admit defeat.

After the race, King Xiao Chu walked down the high platform accompanied by others, and his face flushed with excitement. Obviously, he was also completely attracted by this dragon boat race.The little king of Chu came to the crowd and said loudly: "As expected, all the strong men of my great Chu are very skilled. It really opened my eyes and made me more confident in the revival of my great Chu. Of course, what I said It must be honored, and now I will reward the warriors who won the flower boat, I don't know where you are from?" He said, looking at the oarsmen who were desperately trying to squeeze the people out of the ocean.

"We are the subordinates of General Liu Bang. We can win because of General Liu Bang's good command, so we dare not accept the reward from the king. We only hope that the king can reward our general." A group of people knelt down and said in unison.

At this time, Xiang Liang also came over, and his face changed when he heard what they said.He didn't want Liu Bang, who had just surrendered, to become a contender for his rights, so he stepped forward to say something.

Fusu followed behind him, but heard a familiar voice: "Prince!" He turned his head and saw Peng Hong, and at the same time he saw a person holding a bow and arrow beside Peng Hong.
