Mingyue Lake was very lively, and the crowds on both sides of the bank were crowded with people who were equally excited and cheering.
A group of four dragon boats on the lake competed for five rounds, and there were more than a dozen dragon boats preparing to compete.
Su Han looked at the lake from the fourth floor of Huizhu Tower, still holding nuts in her hand. At this time, a glass of juice came to her lips. She opened her mouth and took a sip without any surprise.
Pointing to the lake again: "This is the group stage. There will be semi-finals after that, and finally it will be the final, right? No wonder, this regatta is a one-day race. Look at the people behind it, are there people preparing to compete?"
Yes, why are there so many boats in this city? Not every household has one."
Xiao Muting looked at her with a smile: "You have so many questions in your little head, so my husband will explain them to you one by one."
"Come on, please don't show off, okay..." Su Han shook his head slightly, but he didn't want to leave his eyes from the lake over there.
"Liuming City holds such a regatta every year. It is also a grand event in the city, and it is also intended to show the strength of the city's powerful people. Originally, the participants were all the wealthy and powerful people in the city, but later it attracted some other outside forces, and also
There are people from other cities, counties, and state capitals sent to compete." Xiao Muting patiently explained to her.
Su Han then nodded: "That's true. This dragon boat is expensive. It's not something ordinary people can own. Even if there is a boat, there must be at least twelve sailors on this boat."
, it’s not easy to find them, it turns out they are all from all over the place.”
"This kind of boat race in Liuming City has been held for nearly thirty years. When my father was in power, he specially approved it." Xiao Muting said with a smile.
Su Han asked again: "Are the rewards for this boat race very generous? Otherwise, after the race, these people will only get a gold medal? Is it an honor?"
"The gold medal doesn't seem to have such a brand, but the prize is a silver vase, and this silver vase is only kept by the winning team for one year. If the winning team changes in the next year's event, it must be handed over.
That's all, but if there is silver as reward, it's all one thousand taels of silver." Xiao Muting raised his eyebrows.
"Oh... I don't even give you a gold medal. It's quite tricky. If we hold such an event there, there must be such a reward. It also shows that we are generous. Isn't the world of our place also very broad?" She said
She turned to look at him and asked.
Xiao Muting nodded: "Yes, we can definitely host this kind of event, but not in the near future. The city is still unstable. If we hold this kind of event again, there will be chaos."
"Of course, we must wait until we are stable before we talk about it, but we can't rest on our laurels. There will be many people who cannot be used in the city, and recruitment from outside is inevitable. How many of them come with missions is really unknown, but there are some
No matter where a talented person is placed, he will make a difference. If he wants to be reused by us and play a big role, he must first gain our trust before he can follow up. But how to get this early trust? It must be political achievements.
, for us, it may not be a good thing." Su Han said it more and more beautifully, and finally chuckled.
"Your way of scheming people is really different and hard for people to guard against. Those people must have never thought of this. It's just like the saying goes..." Xiao Muting put his arm around her shoulders and praised her with a smile.
.
"Get rid of the grinding mill and kill the donkey!" Su Han raised his head and smiled at him.
Xiao Muting was stunned for a moment, then laughed again, lowered his head and pecked her red lips: "Appropriate!"
They were watching the excitement from the tower, but they were extremely nervous below the tower.
Although today is a grand event in Liuming City, and there are many people coming to Mingquan Temple to offer incense, the temple has made the Huizhu Pagoda a forbidden area, and there are warning signs at the entrance of the courtyard, but there are still people who want to break in.
.
The guards guarding outside the tower were not soft-handed. They came to hold down one by one. In less than half a day, nearly a dozen people had been tied up in the corner of the courtyard. They were all tied up, with their eyes covered by black cloth, and their mouths were closed.
He was stuffed with a gag cloth and collapsed there in a faint state.
At this time, three more people walking together came over.
Tong Jiang snorted coldly, whistled, leaned against the wall on one side, held the grass root in his hand, and muttered: "I don't know what I think, but I do it knowing that I can't do it. This kind of going forward one after another
It’s so powerful, it’s really amazing...”
At this time, something suddenly flew out of the tower. Tong Jiang immediately stretched out his hand to catch it. When he opened his palm again, he saw it was a piece of cake. He looked up towards the tower with surprise.
When he saw Jiang Bin pointing at him and glaring at him, he grinned and immediately stuffed the cake into his mouth.
After Jiang Bin withdrew his gaze, he nodded to Qi Wei: "It's already the seventh batch."
"Don't worry, as long as we don't get off the tower, we will continue. If they are willing, we will stop them from doing anything." Qi Wei leaned aside, turned his head and looked down the window.
At this time, the people under the tower had knocked out the three people who came in, tied them up, and stacked them against the courtyard wall.
Yang Fan raised his head and said, "Is there going to be an accident? Don't really cause a misunderstanding."
"There are three courtyard gates inside and outside the Huizhu Pagoda. If the forbidden sign outside the first gate is not visible, the sign on the second gate is also invisible. This is obviously aimed at us. Is there any misunderstanding?"
Jiang Bin rolled his eyes at him.
Yang Fan thought for a while and nodded: "Yes."
It wasn't until night fell and lights lit up on both sides of the lake that Xiao Muting took Su Han down from the Huizhu Pagoda.
Looking at the people piled up in the corner of the courtyard, he raised the corner of his mouth coldly.
Qi Wei stepped forward and inquired, then came back and said: "Your Highness, Princess, these people are all from the Anque Division."
"Dark Bird Division? I can really remember that I haven't used this for some years." Xiao Muting said in a deep voice.
Qi Wei nodded slightly: "Since he ascended the throne, he has rarely used it. It was completely stopped three years ago. Unexpectedly, it is now used again and used on His Highness. It is really..."
"It doesn't matter. How can I not know what he is thinking? He has always been worried about me. This time, he wants to solve it outside the capital, so it will not ruin his interest." Xiao Muting closed his eyes lightly.
He rolled his eyes, and then angrily threw down his sleeves.
Qi Wei turned around and nodded to the guards guarding him, and they were about to pick him up and move him away.
Su Han gently pulled down Xiao Muting's sleeve and asked in a low voice: "I know His Highness is in a bad mood at this time, but this is a quiet place for Buddhism after all. Killing here is also a kind of blasphemy. Why don't you take it away? Anyway,
We also have to leave overnight, and then give them a ride after leaving the city."
"Just listen to the princess and take her away." Xiao Muting waved her hand again in agreement.
Su Han took out a bottle of medicine from his arms and threw it towards Tong Jiang: "Don't let these people cause trouble for us. It's better to go on the road quietly."
"Yes!" Tong Jiang took the medicine and walked over immediately.
After they left Mingquan Temple at night, another group of twenty or so people rushed into the Huizhu Pagoda. After a search, they fled out again. But when they arrived at the back courtyard of the temple, the young novice monk who was guarding there
Stopped.
"Dear donors, this is an important part of the temple and cannot be visited. Please excuse me!"
These people had no choice but to withdraw. They were all sure that Xiao Muting and the others were definitely there, so they dispersed in the temple and waited.
After staying there for two days, I finally felt something was wrong.
