The first group of eight dragon boats have already rushed out like arrows leaving the strings!
The rowers on each dragon boat yelled loudly, full of murderous intent!
They waved their powerful arms, and their movements were neat and uniform. Dozens of paddles hit the water surface in unison, with a rainbow of momentum! With the sound of gongs and drums and shouts deafening, the whole scene was shocking!
Feng Jiuxiao looked at Yuan Zishan and was probably very happy to see her eyes full of smiles.
She is happy, and he is very happy. Yuan Zishan is a girl after all, and she will naturally be curious about new things she has never seen before. When encountering exciting scenes, she will naturally be excited!
Yuan Zishan looked ahead and suddenly said, "Who do you guess will win?"
Each dragon boat has a flag with the name of the dragon boat team written on it.
The sixty-four teams are just numbered by the heavenly stems and earthly branches.
The first group of dragon boat teams are Yi Chou, Bing Yin, Xin Si, Ren Wu, Wu Zi, Ji Chou, Ren Yin, and Gui Mao.
Feng Jiuxiao said: "It's really hard to guess."
All rowers look the same Kong Wu is powerful, and on the surface, it should be evenly matched. Now the competition has just begun. The Yichou, Bingyin, and Xinsi three boats are temporarily leading. But Feng Jiuxiao knows that in addition to competing for strength, the dragon boat racing competition also competes with everyone's skills and the cooperation of the entire team! As long as there is a mistake in one place, it will affect the combat effectiveness of the entire team! But reality is often very mysterious. The more you feel that the victory is sure to be successful, the more likely you are to have an accident. Often, when you are about to give up, there is a turning point. Everything is possible, and you dare not guess it!
Yuan Zishan said: "I think the Guimao may be the first to cross the finish line!"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Why?"
Yuan Zishan said: "Intuition!"
"Haha, I feel that this thing is really mysterious and cannot be judged by common sense." Feng Jiuxiao naturally would not refute Yuan Zishan, although everyone saw that Guimao ranked eighth. There were eight dragon boat warships in total. She insisted that the last one could win the group championship, so it was her own reason.
Yuan Zishan said: "Huh? What are the people on the other side of the shore doing?"
Feng Jiuxiao followed Yuan Zishan's gaze toward the other side. There was also a crowd of people there, but there was an area that was very strange and not crowded at all. Two people from the Longyou Gang sat, with a table in front of them. A long queue like a long dragon. In order not to squeeze out the space for the viewing crowd, these people lined up in the queue. They actually lined up Huilong, with nine bends and eighteen twists and eighteen turns. It seemed that the queue was not long, but once it was unfolded, it would be at least one mile away!
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Look at those two people, one keeps the account and the other collects the money. The person who pays the money will get a page of paper. It seems to be some kind of credentials. If I guess correctly, they are betting!"
Yuan Zishan's eyes lit up, "Are you saying that you are gambling there?"
"good!"
"How to bet?"
"The easiest way to bet on the championship should be to bet on the championship. As long as you bet on the right side, you will win, otherwise you will lose the gambling money!"
"It is impossible for such a big game to bet like this, right?"
"There are possible other gambling methods."
"What kind of gambling method?"
"For example, who is the runner-up and who is the third place, it is derived from the leader, how many positions does the champion lead over the runner-up, which dragon boat will capsize, and which dragon boat will fall into the water..."
"These rowers are so experienced, can they still fall into the water?"
"It depends on whether anyone is manipulating behind the scenes! Only you can't imagine, and no they can do it!"
"Isn't that fraud?"
"Nine out of ten bets are cheating!"
"Who else is willing to bet?"
"Human nature is weak and cannot stand the test at all! As long as you get involved, you will become addicted to gambling, and it is difficult to quit!"
“Why is it difficult?”
"If you win, you want to continue to win! If you lose, you want to make a comeback! For a gambler, no matter whether he wins or loses, he will continue to bet until his family is ruined and his family dies!"
"Then why did Lord Cao not stop him and instead support this Longyou Gang?"
"He is a newcomer, so he must quickly integrate into the local circle of forces and stabilize his position first, otherwise he will be forced to come up. At that time, the local family members are joining together to fight him. He may have to be dismissed before his butt is hot!"
"Are these people so brave? Do you dare to fight against the prefect?"
"Of course I don't dare to do anything in secret, but it's not easy to cause trouble? Today there is a fire in the east of the city and tomorrow there will be bandits in the south of the city. Cao Guangshi will definitely be exhausted! It is the lightest to make him tired. If he throws some dirty water, even if the emperor doesn't care, the political enemy behind Cao Guangshi will definitely seize all the opportunity to do them and encourage a few people to report together. Then Cao Guangshi's position will definitely not be able to be saved!"
"So dark?"
"Power is as addictive as gambling! Why do those officials have to climb up even if they sharpen their heads? Because the higher the position, the heavier the power! The leader of the Longyou Gang could kill a cow with one punch, but he bowed in front of Cao Guangshi, who was powerless. Why? Isn't Cao Guangshi a halo of power on his body?"
The eight dragon boats on the river gradually distanced the distance. The Guimao actually jumped to sixth place at this time, and was about to surpass fifth place!
Yuan Zishan said: "The first group of games have begun. Wouldn't those people bet on winning or losing again? "
Feng Jiuxiao said: "It is generally not allowed to bets before the opening. The bets they bet now are definitely not for the current game, but for the next few games, the most likely one is to go to eight tomorrow's sixteen!" He shook his head again.
Yuan Zishan said, "Why are you shaking your head? Who are you regretting?" She knew what he was thinking when she saw Feng Jiuxiao's expression!
Feng Jiuxiao said: "I originally thought that Ye Changge was also a hero, but it turned out not!"
Yuan Zishan said: "What's going on?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Regularly speaking, before today, all bets should have been counted."
"Why must the statistics be completed in advance?"
"Only by completing the statistics in advance can we know how many people bet the most on which dragon boat and which dragon boat bet the least so that they can control the results secretly! Even if they have the ability to control the results, they don't know how to change the results now, and can only earn some money to bet on the commission."
"How did your brain grow? Fortunately, you didn't get bad. Otherwise, who could have managed you?"
"You!"
"Small poverty!"
Pang Shiwu came over at this time, "Brother, I didn't see you in the blink of an eye. Are you two starting to love each other again?"
Feng Jiuxiao glared at her eyes, "Shut up!"
Yuan Zishan looked at Pang Shiwu with a smile, without saying a word.
Although her face was covered with black veil and her eyes were exposed, Pang Shiwu immediately ran away as if she had been scalded!
Yuan Zishan smiled slightly, raised her right hand, her white wrist was as jade, and a layer of mist appeared on her slender fingertips, which was the cold air of the illusion of the Yin Finger!
Pang Shiwu had been escaping five feet away before he dared to stop. Just a little bit, he would become an Iceman again today!
