Near the water mill.
This was originally the main way to enter and exit the city gate. Today, a large number of people came out of the city suddenly, looking around and inquiring by the river, and it seemed extremely lively for a while.
Before dawn, Chen Qing and Qin Mo dragged the prepared boat into the Wei River.
One is a five-masted clipper sailboat, about ten meters in length.
Its bow is raised high, like a sharp arrow floating on the water.
From a glance, the slender hull is not only a sail but also a sail, and its shape is particularly eye-catching.
There is no doubt that it belongs to Chen Qing.
The Mo family's boat stopped a few meters away.
It is 20 meters long, and its style is similar to the dragon boats of later generations, but the bow is made into the shape of a fish.
What's more ingenious is that Xiang Lixi and others added a mainsail to it, and a small auxiliary sail at the bow and stern.
"It's a Chu land dragon boat."
"I didn't expect the Mo family to know such a thing."
"I heard that the bottom of the dragon boat is extremely thin and the draft is shallow. How did they add sails?"
"It seems that the Mo family really came prepared!"
Qin State and Chu State have been in love and killing each other for many years. Many officials know about this kind of extremely fast boats that travel through large and small rivers in the interior of Chu.
However, in the imperial tomb where Qin Mo's faction has been stationed for a long time, it is really surprising that the dragon boat from Chu, which is thousands of miles away, was used for the competition, and it was even added with sails for the first time.
"father!"
"Have you seen the end?"
Xiangli Xi excitedly pointed to a large cargo ship anchored in the lower reaches of the Wei River.
Its mast is tied with colored balls and red silk cloth. Presumably the rule is that whoever gets the colored balls wins.
She stretched out her hand to feel it, and jumped up excitedly.
"It's headwind!"
"against the wind!"
Although dragon boats also have sails, they are mainly rowed by manpower.
Chen Qing's clipper sailboat doesn't even have oar space, how can he row it?
"God help the Mo family!"
"Master, we are sure to win this game!"
"Hahaha, God is helping us."
"The Mo family has spent many years, God will definitely not embarrass us."
"Master, God open your eyes!"
Mohist disciples saw the disadvantages of the clipper sailboat at a glance.
It can only be driven by sails, and today is against the wind!
Xianglixi felt relieved.
If he loses another game, even if he dies, he will have no face to face the seniors of the Mo family under Jiuquan.
From then on, Qin Mo would not even think about raising his head again.
"Come a few healthy ones and come aboard with me."
Xiangli Xi shouted and took off his shirt.
His tower-like body stood up like a hard rock in the cold wind, and his well-defined muscles swelled, forming clear and distinct lines.
"Master, let me help you."
"I'm coming too!"
"How dare the disciple refuse to die!"
The daily labor of the craftsmen is hard, and those with weak constitutions can't do it at all.
After a while, more than a dozen burly men with big arms and round waists stood up.
Xiangli Ling retreated to the side in embarrassment, thinking joyfully in her heart: one win and one loss, after all, it is not a disgrace to the reputation of the ancestors of the Mohist family.
"Boss, the wind is against the wind when we go down the river, I'm afraid the boat won't be able to run!"
"How to do?"
"Oh, God doesn't seem to be on our side."
The craftsmen of the copper and iron shop also noticed that something was wrong.
They stretched out their hands to measure the direction of the wind, and discussed worriedly.
Li Yi did not know where to find a pair of oars: "Boss, why don't we fight together! Besides the boatman sent by His Royal Highness, let's squeeze in too. It's good to be faster."
Chen Qing glanced at him indifferently: "Do I need you to be troublesome?"
"Uh……"
Li Yi said in astonishment: "But today is a headwind! When our sails are hoisted, they will not speed up, but will only get in the way."
"God is not helping us!"
Chen Qing grabbed his collar and pulled him to look in Luanjia's direction.
"Keep your eyes wide open."
"Fortunately, you are still a native of Daqin."
"Where is the sky, can you not see it?"
"Just wait and see, you'll know who God is helping!"
Li Yi was confused in his mind.
The boss asked me to see what His Majesty the Emperor is doing?
Can the emperor still control which way the wind blows?
On Yuluan.
Ying Zheng glanced over, felt the wind blowing against the river, and waved to Li Si.
"Your Majesty, what can I order?"
Li Si's heart skipped a beat, his face panicked.
"Isn't it a trick to test the boat going down the river?"
"Order the colorful boats to go to the upper reaches of the Wei River."
Ying Zheng's tone was as undeniable as ever.
"promise……"
Li Si responded heavily, feeling like a mountain was pressing down on his heart, and it became difficult to breathe.
Your Majesty is determined to let Chen Qing win!
How can he be worthy of you?
Chapter 68 Fair Competition, I Won Again
In the cold and bleak late autumn, Xiangli Xi Jing walked towards the dragon boat moored on the shore with her strong upper body bare.
The ten stout disciples strode forward and followed behind in a neat row.
A group of people are arrogant and high-spirited, quite like the elder brother leading the younger brother to kill people.
The big girl and the young daughter-in-law who were watching blushed and covered their eyes, but couldn't help peeking through their fingers, and giggles came from time to time in the wind.
"it is good!"
"color!"
"The Mohist warrior is so brave, he must have won."
"I didn't expect the Mohists in the Qin Dynasty to have such a strong man, quite like the Mohist chivalrous demeanor of the past."
No matter what the boat looks like, at least Xiang Lixi's style is really admirable.
Xiangli Xi glanced at the panic-stricken hydraulic engineer on the clipper sailboat, and snorted disdainfully.
"Get on board!"
Eleven people jumped onto the dragon boat one after another.
The front and back are responsible for manipulating the jib to adjust the direction.
The mainsail in the middle is left unattended for the time being.
After all, it is going against the wind, and having it is also a burden.
Xiangli Xi sat in the slightly narrow cabin, took a deep breath, and held the oars on both sides fixed to the upper edge of the ship.
Even if you risk your life, you can't embarrass the Mo family this time.
"Move your body, no matter what happens later, you can't stop your hands and oars."
He gave a stern exhortation.
"Master, why did the colorful boat move?"
"Yeah, something seems wrong."
"Where is the colorful boat going?"
"Just now I saw the anchor was drawn."
The disciples couldn't help but raise their hearts as they pointed to the slowly moving colorful boats.
"Your Majesty has ordered—"
"Going down the river, there is suspicion of opportunism, so I ordered the colorful boat to move to the upper reaches of the Wei River."
"Wait against the current, whoever wins the ball first wins."
The waiter stood by the river and read out the imperial edict at the top of his voice.
"what?!"
There was a bang in Xianglixi's mind, like a thunderclap.
His body tilted and almost fell into the river.
why?
Why did His Majesty change his mind temporarily!
Where is Li Xiang?
Didn't he guarantee that he would do his best to help the Mo family?
If you go upstream against the current, that is a tailwind!
Xiang Lixi looked around for Li Si.
But there is a vast sea of people on the shore, where can I find it.
"Master, what should we do?"
"How can His Majesty change the order so quickly?"
"Chen Qing's boat has five sails, this move is of great benefit to him."
"I waited day and night to build the imperial mausoleum for His Majesty. If there is no credit, wouldn't it be hard work?"
If they couldn't see that Emperor Shihuang was helping Chen Qing at this time, then they wouldn't become the top craftsmen in the world.
"shut up!"
"If your words are heard by outsiders, do you want the Mo family to have no place?"
