Dragon Boat Festival in May, Libo Lake.
On the quiet and deserted Libo Lake, it is now a lively scene, and the narrow boat with a leaf at both ends is like a crescent moon quietly parked on the circular bay beach at the end of the lake.
These boats are half smaller than the dragon boats in the Wuyue area, and the dragon boats in the Wuyue area generally have at least eighteen racers, but there are only eight people in the rows here.
At the same time, the sacrifice to the dragon god in Wuyue is more grand, the head and tail of the dragon boat are carefully carved with wood, painted and colored, fixed on the dragon boat, and the dragon boat here, the dragon head can be removed, and it can be installed again at any time.
There were about twenty small boats parked on the beach, and dozens of high platforms lined up in the back, which were built by the families of the participating families and the powerful ministers who came to watch the boat races.
In the center, there is the highest and largest altar, covered with red silk, lanterns, and wooden pillars are tied with pine branches and other things.
The three lookouts directly behind this tall altar are the platforms of the Sanhuan family of the Lu Kingdom, and the three platforms are in the shape of a pin, and the altar is guarded in the middle.
This year's dragon boat race is completely different from previous years, the previous year's sacrifice to the dragon god, dragon boat racing, is the Lu State ministers and the people to enjoy together, but also the secretary of the doctor to go out to play, but also the Sanhuan family and even all the ministers of the relationship a means.
However, this year's Dragon Boat Festival Dragon God Race Dragon Boat Race, but there is such a tension, in addition to many chasing after the lively Shengdou small people talking and laughing, noisy and lively, many big families are quiet on the high platform, the face of the ministers and doctors is solemn, as if there are thousands of troops and horses rushing towards the Libo Lake in front of them.
The various factions under the Ji clan are gearing up for the dragon boat to win the championship and be able to exclusively operate the sea salt business for three years, but this matter is only an internal matter of the Ji family, and it is not enough to make the ministers and doctors of the entire Lu country nervous.
With the attack of the envoys of Wu in the Konglan Valley, the false envoys and the real deputy envoys were killed one after another, and the contradictions and conflicts between the three Huan quickly became public.
However, it is difficult for them to express their position.
Standing on the wrong line in officialdom is a big deal.
Now it seems that the uncle and grandson and Meng Sun are aggressive, the Ji family has the intention of calming things down, and Wu Guoqing has also declared that he will leave Lu as soon as possible, and the situation of the Ji family's dictatorship is about to be broken.
However, Ji has been in power for two years, and there are many party members.
And many years before this, Ji's strength was the strongest among the three huans, this time, to what extent would he be defeated if he was still the head of the three huans, then "Alas, those common people look at me waiting to sit on this high platform, presumably they are very envious, but they don't know, this high platform is not easy to sit on, the wind is strong" turned his head to look, the zigzag arch guards the Sanhuan family of the god high platform, under the stage of each family, there are full four guards and horses, the clothes and armor are distinct, and the sword and halberd are clear, which has never happened in previous years, and many doctors can't help but sigh secretly.
Ji sat on the high platform, his eyes involuntarily looked at the mountain on the left, and in the green hills, a few corner eaves were faintly visible, which was Qingji's camp.
After today, the houses there should be demolished, and Qingji will lead the army out of the Lu country.
And Wu came to envoy Thinking of this, Ji was very troubled, he didn't believe Meng Sun's accusation, he didn't believe that Qingji's people did it at all, these two people sent people to pretend to visit Qingji, and they didn't find that the number of soldiers in Qingji's camp had decreased.
In his heart, he was inclined to think that it was the thief who did it.
But although this Zhan Zhi is a headache for everyone in all countries, he is a real Lu person, and he is the identity of the prince of Lu State, and now he is in the land of Lu State, attacking the envoys of Wu State, this matter is the ruling State of Lu, he needs to give an explanation to Wu State no matter what.
For this reason, as soon as he heard that the envoy of the Lu State was attacked and killed by Zhan Jiao, he immediately called Zhan Shu, scolded a bloody dog, and then told him to find a way to find his younger brother who was willing to be a thief.
With a lot of worries, Ji looked at his son Ji Sunsi, who was happily instructing the generals to do this and that, in front of the stage, and suddenly felt a little nostalgic for his carefree youth.
A beautiful concubine thoughtfully moved over a soft pillow and asked Ji to lie down and rest, then knelt in front of his knee and gently pounded his leg.
Ji Shi opened his eyes and watched a white cloud slowly drift to the northwest, and secretly thought: "After the dragon boat race today, I first sent Qingji to leave Lu, and Ming said that Wu envoy arrived, well, I can't say, first kill some death row criminals as thieves who show their feet, and then prevaricate." ” On the high platform of the uncle and grandson's family, the handsome face of the uncle and grandson Yu was getting longer and longer, he looked around for a long time, but he didn't see his daughter appear, so he said with a calm face: "Shake the child, rest it."
Hugh, who was busy working in the audience, heard the call of the master, and hurriedly ran to the stage, first wiped the sweat beads on his forehead with his sleeve, and then stepped forward with a smiling face: "Lord." ” "Go, call me the shaking light, and say I want to see her" Seeing that the head of the family was unhappy, Hugh didn't dare to say more, so he hurriedly responded and stepped down.
Shusun Yu sighed secretly, after Xiu Yu came back, he had already told him the news that Miss Shaoguang liked Qingji, Shusun Yu was shocked and angry when he heard this, but his surname was not as violent as Meng Ziyuan, and he was angry, thinking that after today, Ji forced Qingji away, and when he said that it was a little longer, his daughter's mind naturally faded, and there was no need to rush to kill the door to snatch his daughter back, this child's surname was strong, if he was forced, he was afraid that it would backfire, so he endured it.
But until this moment, the daughter was still accompanying Na Qingji on the mountain, but she left his father and disappeared, and Uncle Sun Yu's heart was a little unhappy.
Speaking of which, Qingji is a good match for his daughter regardless of his appearance, talent, character, and identity, if he is still the son of the king of Wu, it is still his uncle and grandson Yugao.
But Qingji, this son, what is the current situation, how can he let his daughter marry such a person.
Once married, what does it mean that his uncle and grandson's family will stand on the side of Qingji, how can such a big event be child's play.
Xiu Yu hurriedly walked to the stage, Li Han was dressed in a red short shirt, with a red scarf wrapped around his head, dressed as a boatman, he looked handsome and mighty, he greeted him and said: "Hugh steward, the Lord has called you, is there anything wrong?"
In public, the two did not show their kinship with each other, but because Li Han did not call him uncle, but was commensurate with being in charge.
Xiu Yan smiled bitterly: "Hey, it's not for the eldest lady, I'll go to the mountain now, please come over, you prepare for the boat race, the last time Tian Hunt was defeated, if you lose again this time, then your face will be gloomy." ” "Yes, take care of the matter, Li Han will do his best."
Li Han watched Xiu Yu hurriedly climb a mule and horse, staggering up the green hill on the left, a trace of cold hatred flashed in his eyes, he gritted his teeth, and then turned around and walked towards the place where the rowers were standing.
Qingji is dressed in a white robe like snow, with a cicada wing crown on his head that the Lu people like to wear, a jade belt to tie his waist, a jade under his knees, and a sword hanging on his waist.
Hey, didn't Ji deliberately forget him, didn't invite him to participate in the dragon boat race, I'll go to you myself, a gentleman with a good gift, it's not good to drive me away Ah Qiu jumped out of the car, strode over, walked around twice in front of a wooden house, rubbed his hands impatiently and said, "Why is Miss Uncle Sun changing clothes so slow A little later, I'm afraid the event will start." ” Qingji smiled and said, "Don't worry, women, it's all like this." ” Ying Tao stuck a sword in his waist and stood behind Qing Ji, if it was usual, listening to Gongzi say this, he might still be happy to joke, but this time the assassination of Wu Envoy was a failure, Ying Tao felt disgraced, stood behind and hung his head, and did not intervene.
Qingji looked back at him, smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said: "Yingtao, you, no matter martial arts or wit, you are the best choice, compared to Liang Huzi, you are only stronger than him, but you are only a little inferior to him." ” Ying Tao heard him praise him like this, her heart was both happy and frightened, and when she heard the last sentence, she couldn't help but feel competitive: "Ying Tao asked his son for advice." ” Qingji said: "Liang Huzi is a tiger general, who fought on the battlefield, won countless victories and defeats, and practiced a tenacious surname.
And you, arrogant, the most can't afford to fail, you see this time back, Liang Huzi is the same as before, nothing is wrong, what about you, it's been three days in a row, and you're still like a wilting rooster.
A real tiger general must not only be able to win the battle, but also be able to defeat the battle, no matter whether he wins or loses, always maintain a normal heart, so that he can defeat without being discouraged, and seek victory in defeat. ” Ying Tao chewed on his words and nodded knowingly.
At that moment, there was a "squeak" and the door opened softly.
The men who had been waiting outside the door for a long time sighed, and Qi brushed their eyes to the door, only to see that the beautiful woman did not come out, only half of the door was opened, and a half jade hand was exposed in a feather sleeve, gently holding the door, and the end of the finger was as beautiful as a shallot on the end, which was five points of Danko The men who had been waiting in front of the door for a long time widened their eyes one by one and held their breath, hoping that the aunt would immediately step out of the room.
Seeing such a scene, Qing Ji suddenly remembered a poem: "After a long time, I came out, still holding the pipa and half-covering my face", uh, Miss Shusun dressed up as a lady, how can it make people a little creepy To be continued:
