Chapter 235 Extra Game
Qin Yao stared at Liu Ji grimly.
She asked why this person suddenly said he wanted to watch the dragon boat race last night, and it turned out he was waiting here!
In just a dozen seconds, the situation in the stands changed.
The prefect announced that the white flag was first, and the one who opened the game with a yellow flag was not recognized, nor was the one who held two flags and took first place.
But if you say that the yellow flag is first, those who put the white flag and those who put the double flags will not agree.
The prefect thought, okay, since no one agrees, let's have another competition.
Are you all satisfied now?
No!
The contestants all said in unison that they were exhausted and couldn't compete again today.
"What should we do? We can't come back tomorrow? The Dragon King Banquet in Dengyun Tower has already started today!" A citizen on the other side of the river said loudly in dissatisfaction.
"Then let's maintain the original judgment!" The people who raised the white flag shouted excitedly.
"No!" Miss He yelled and drank it all back at the people on the opposite side.
Well, it seems I have no choice but to start over.
The audience can still accept this, at least the result is clear, no matter who takes first place, the loser will be convinced.
Compared with the excited spectators, the players of the yellow and white teams were not so persistent. After all, their bodies could not bear another game.
Whether you are first or not, it is not as important as your own life.
At this time, a steady voice with a childish tone sounded.
The child prodigy Qi Xianguan, who had been sitting beside the prefect's wife, stood up and said loudly:
"Everyone, stop arguing! Since no one is satisfied no matter how the decision is made, and neither team wants to play an extra game, why not just find someone else to replace the two teams and play another game?"
As soon as these words came out, the noisy crowd all quieted down. Yes, wouldn't it be better to find someone else to compete?
The drummer and captain of the yellow and white teams also nodded and said that they could continue to help lead the team and suppress the dragon head.
Prefect He looked with admiration at Qi Xiangu, who had proposed the solution, and then looked helplessly at his daughter who was jumping and making noise, thinking that it was really frustrating to compare yourself with others.
"In that case, why don't Mr. Qi and Miss He each form a team and have another match to decide the winner?" the official nearby suddenly suggested.
After hearing this, the people felt even more satisfied. This was more interesting and they all expressed their agreement.
Prefect He: "."
Miss He immediately stood up, without waiting for her father to speak, and waved to the maid behind her. The maid announced loudly:
"Any rower who is willing to join the Yellow Team and help our Yellow Team win first place will be rewarded with one ounce of silver, regardless of success or failure!"
"If our Yellow Team wins first place, my lady will give each member an extra ounce of silver as a reward!"
"Is there a reward?" Qin Yao, who had already moved from the tree to the stone bridge, raised her eyebrows. She could do this job!
Just now, when everyone was arguing about who would win first place between the yellow and white teams, the stone bridge that was originally crowded with people became empty.
After all, it was dangerous for children to stay on such a high treetop, so Qin Yao immediately took the whole family and Liu Li and his servant to the stone bridge.
Now everyone knew that there would be an extra game, and by the time they realized and wanted to return to their original good position on the stone bridge, it was too late.
Because they occupied the position quickly, the Qin and Yao families now directly occupy the center of the stone bridge.
Qin Yao pushed Sanlang and Si Niang in front of Liu Ji, and immediately raised her hands and jumped off the stone bridge, "I'll do it!"
Miss He saw the woman jumping directly from the bridge to the yellow team's dragon boat, and looked at the maid in surprise, "She is a martial arts lady!"
The maid nodded excitedly and continued to recruit people.
Looking at Qi Xiangun, he picked up a pen and wrote a few poems on the spot, giving them to the rowers who were willing to help the white team win the championship.
This was written by the famous child prodigy Qi Xianguan himself, and there are many people who are willing to pay a high price to buy it for their collection.
At that moment, there were people who did not even know how to row, but they rushed to get on the dragon boat just to get a copy of Qi Xianguan's calligraphy.
The guards hurriedly took the captain of the white team to screen the men, leaving only those who were tall, strong and powerful.
Liu Ji was standing on the stone bridge and watching Qin Yao successfully enter the yellow team. He was so anxious. He was so anxious!
If Team Huang wins, he will never get back the private money he bet.
So, he gritted his teeth and pushed the four brothers and sisters of Dalang in front of Liu Li who was eager to try, "Brother Liu Li, please!"
"Hey!" Liu Li was confused and wanted to call for help, but Liu Ji had already rushed onto the dragon boat of the white team.
Liu Li was furious. He still wanted Qi Xiangguan's calligraphy!
"I, I, I can row, and I won the first place in our county!" Liu Ji lied without hesitation.
In order to protect the private money, I risked everything!
The Qi family guard pointed at Liu Ji and said, "The one who won first place, come up!"
All the rowers turned their heads to look at Liu Ji. They thought that the best in the county must be a strong man of at least eight feet tall, but who would have thought that he had a face prettier than a woman. They were all stunned for a moment.
Liu Ji didn't care about them. As long as they could get on the boat, there was still hope for him to get his private money.
This evil woman Qin Yao is just strong, but dragon boat racing is not something that can be won by one person's strength alone. It depends on teamwork. Individual advantages will only be continuously reduced by the team.
Therefore, Liu Ji felt that his team had a very high chance of winning.
Yes, they will definitely win! Liu Ji brainwashed himself silently, his self-confidence bursting.
Qin Yao watched Liu Ji get on the dragon boat from afar. Her first reaction was to see who was watching the children. She was relieved to see two adults, Liu Li and Da Zhuang, nearby.
However, when he looked at Liu Ji again, his eyes were full of murderous intent.
Liu Ji came to the important position of Longwei with the title of the best rower in Kaiyang County. Just as he sat down, he suddenly felt a chill on his back.
He subconsciously looked back and saw Qin Yao standing on the dragon boat of the yellow team next to him. She pointed at him and then coldly raised her hand and made a light stroke in front of her neck.
Liu Ji's heart tightened and he quickly turned his head back, his heart beating like a drum.
The captain handed him the paddle and he grabbed it quickly, thinking that he was going to die anyway, so he might as well beat her first before dying.
Both teams of rowers were in place, and the dragon boats were rowed under the stone bridge, waiting for orders.
When the captain of the white team saw that there were seven or eight female rowers on the yellow team's dragon boat, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he felt that this was a sure thing.
Women don't have as much arm strength as men, and what rowers need most is arm strength, so there are so many strong men.
Now the yellow team actually has seven or eight female rowers, which means they are far behind in strength and definitely not as fast as them.
In the stands, Qi Xiangguan couldn't help but glance at his confident cousin, thinking that she would burst into tears if they lost, so he kindly reminded her:
"Cousin Zhang Hua, it's not too late for you to change players now. We can wait for you to change players before we start again."
He Zhanghua shook his head, "No, my team members are fine."
"After all, women are not as strong as men." Qi Xianguan thought that she didn't understand his reminder, so he said it directly.
But how could He Zhanghua not know this? All the team members on the ship were selected by her, and she was optimistic about them, regardless of gender.
