Chapter 13 Qinghu wins the first place (1)
"Give it! Give it!" Cao Luo shouted and ran in the direction of the Martial Arts Academy.
"Good news." Li Xuansheng and others who were training stopped and looked at Cao Luo after hearing Cao Luo's shouts.
"Look at what happened to you?" Li Xuansheng asked.
"This year, Qinghu won the championship."
"Really?" Guo Fu was a little surprised, "How could he come out so early!"
Cao Luo clenched his fists and was extremely excited, and his saliva all flew to everyone, "This time he was also joining the students of other colleges in Jiangzhou to participate."
Guo Fu was stunned, "Other academies? There will be no Kowloon Court in Kowloon Hall, right?"
Cao Luo continued, "Some of them are Canghai Courtyard in Xuzhou, Huaixi Courtyard in Yangzhou, Qixing Courtyard in Luzhou, Jiangnan Courtyard in Minzhou, and our total six academies and twelve teams."
Li Xuansheng didn't know what activity this was, so he had to listen to them.
Cao Luo naturally knew the names of the people on the list after seeing the list. He said weakly, "This time, all the elites of Jiulong Hall are available, and everyone is experts. Let's see that they will win the first time again."
"Why are they the first one again? Ah Fu, can you tell me what activity this is?" Li Xuansheng said curiously.
Guo Fu, who was standing aside, had to explain to Li Xuansheng, "This Qinghu wins the championship, is actually a celebration of the academy before the New Year. Originally, only Wolong Academy participated by itself, but later I don't know which dean was feeling idle and started to invite other academies in Jiangzhou to participate.
Originally, it was mainly involved in exchanges, but later it became a competition for major academies to compete with each other.
There were also scenes of the Wulong Academy supporting the martial arts academy before, but since the Wulong Academy declined, the Wulong Academy has never won the championship again. I originally wanted to show off myself, but in the end I shot myself in the foot.
With the small island of Qinghu, Taihu Lake as the center, there is a four-meter-long log platform in the center of the island, and there is a palm-sized Wanshuling on it. There are two courtyards of civil and military dynasties, one courtyard and one team, a total of twelve teams rowing dragon boats from the shore. Those who get Wanshuling first will win.”
Li Xuansheng said casually, "This is too simple."
Guo Fu thought it was Li Xuansheng who thought it was too simple.
"Simple? The process is very painful. For example, Li Wei, who has participated, was defeated by others before he even arrived at the log table. If you don't believe it, ask them a few."
"How? Can you do it?"
Luo Yi and Wei Ran nodded, Li Xuansheng put his hands on his hips, "How many people do you want?"
Guo Fu said, "A team of seven people. There are only six of us, and one is missing!"
After thinking about it, Li Xuansheng said, "I think I can find someone. But I haven't rowed the boat! Also, I can't swim."
Guo Fu smiled lightly and said, "It's okay, just go to the island. There is the place where we really decide the outcome."
"Okay, I'll go find that person. You guys discuss it."
After Li Xuansheng left, Huang Zongxi sneered, "Why don't you tell him that he can fight on the water?"
Guo Fu knew what Huang Zongxi wanted to say, "I don't tell him that he doesn't want him to worry! A person who can't swim will not be nervous if he doesn't know the details."
Huang Zongxi snorted coldly and touched his ray of show, "You guy, it seems that Li Xuansheng stole your boss's position, you care a lot."
"You have a mouth, so what you say."
Huang Zongxi walked up to Guo Fu and whispered, "A hypocritical villain!"
Cao Luo hesitated, "Afu. Is what he said true?"
"If you believe me, you believe me. If you don't believe me, I can't help it. If I have homework, I will leave first."
Cao Luo and the other two saw Guo Fu's departure back, looking at me and I look at you, but I don't know what to say.
Xiao Chenping said in surprise, "What? Do you want me to join your team?
Li Xuansheng smiled and said, "Of course, who told us to be good friends?"
Xiao Chenping glanced at Li Xuansheng and continued to read the book with him.
Seeing that Xiao Chenping ignored him, Li Xuansheng couldn't help but take away Xiao Chenping's book. Xiao Chenping picked up another book on the desk and started reading it. Li Xuansheng took away his book. He went back and forth more than ten times, but in the end, Xiao Chenping could only look at Li Xuansheng's silly smile face.
"Hehe. Just help me once. At worst, I'll promise you something is OK, right?"
Xiao Chenping looked at Li Xuansheng and felt that the guy in front of him was a little silly, "You asked me to help you, but do you know that I am a disciple of the Academy of Literature. A student of the Academy of Literature cannot become a member of the participating team of the Academy of Martial Arts. You idiot!"
"This...there is such a thing!" Li Xuansheng suddenly understood.
"Have you rowed the boat?"
Li Xuansheng shook his head, "No!"
"Roaring is not easy. Isn't it just rowing like this!" Li Xuansheng rowed as the boatman's movements.
Xiao Chenping patted his forehead. This guy was so stupid. He had never seen the style of the boat he participated in the competition, so he actually chose to participate in this event. Apart from being stupid, Xiao Chenping could never find the second word to describe Li Xuansheng.
"That's a passenger ship, and the boat we participated in the competition was a dragon boat, similar to a reduced version of a nautical ship."
"What is a nautical vessel?"
"..." Xiao Chenping immediately glanced at the black line and defeated this guy directly. He picked up a pen, drew the appearance of a sailing boat on the paper, and then drew the appearance of a dragon boat.
"Oh, so that the boat is like this! I thought it was a boat at the dock!" Li Xuansheng then understood what the ship Xiao Chenping was talking about looked like.
Xiao Chenping explained to Li Xuansheng while painting, "This kind of boat requires one person to beat the ovation and master the rhythm, and the other six people row with their oars. Both sides of the boat are strong at the same time, so the oars should be deep, the rowing degree should be fast, and the oars should be uniform. If you don't practice much on weekdays, there will be no good results at critical moments."
Li Xuansheng thought of Jiulong Hall, "No wonder, Jiulong Hall makes a living by transporting canals, and their students' boating degree is definitely not something we can compare with."
Xiao Chenping agreed, "It is difficult to win them on the water. As long as they don't get too far away, the single-plank bridge after getting ashore is the key to winning."
"Single-plank bridge?"
"Hey, I really defeated you. The road before the log platform was a single-plank bridge, and of course there were other obstacles, but it was different every year, so I don't know what this year is."
When Xiao Chenping drew the distribution of the single-plank bridge, Li Xuansheng became more and more familiar with it. "This is not the broken wood rope that the Qinglin Army often trained in the Imperial Guard?"
"It's a broken wooden cable, but the bridge is replaced with water instead of stone."
"Also, there are only two ladders leading to the top of the log platform. Once the opponent takes the lead, you can only take the position. You'd better be careful of Kowloon Hall for these teams. Most of them are from martial arts and are the best in Kowloon Hall. Don't underestimate the enemy!"
Li Xuansheng pressed his hands on his knees and looked at Xiao Chenping with curiosity, "Huh? How do you know so clearly? Could it be that you want to participate too?"
Xiao Chenping "snap" and opened the folding fan in his hand, "Knowing yourself and your enemy will never win a hundred battles! This is basic common sense. I can participate, but it is only for helping you beat the drum. As for the work you have to do, you still need to come."
"Okay, this is OK."
"make a deal."
After Xiao Chenping agreed, the staff of the Martial Arts Academy were all gathered. After about ten days of training, the biennial Qinghu victory of Wolong Academy officially kicked off its prelude.
On this day, people came and went in front of the Wolong Academy. Zhuge Zhangyuan and some of the people in the Wolong Academy welcomed the guests at the Hanshu Pavilion of the academy. (The dark blue cicada suit is Jiulong Hall, the Taoist robe and cicada suit is Seven Star Courtyard, the black-collar white cicada suit is Jiangnan Courtyard, the light blue cicada suit is Huaixi Courtyard, and the blue cicada suit is Canghai Courtyard.)
After everyone exchanged greetings, Wolong Academy randomly arranged their residences and held a banquet to entertain them in the evening.
The next day, before Qinghu won the championship, several noble people came to Wolong Academy. Yan Wuling, the head of Jiulong Hall, Huang Ning, the prefect of Jiangzhou Zhao Dan, and other scholars led by the academy.
"Brother Zhuge is fine!"
"I don't know if the Marquis is coming, I'm not welcome!"
"Mr. Zhao, such a coincidence, you are here too."
"Oh, Marquis, why are you interested in seeing Qinghu win the championship today?"
"Lord Yan, I am looking forward to your hospital's recent performance."
"With the Marquis' love, my court will definitely live up to the Marquis' expectations."
"Brother Kong, please."
"Brother Xu, please invite me here."
"Ah, Yu Zhangyuan, I didn't expect you to come here in person today! Please."
"My wife Wu, Brother Zhang, the two of you will come together, please."
Chapter completed!
