Chapter 270
On the dock near the peach bridge, dragon boats were on the water, and the participating teams were rubbing their hands.
The name ‘peach blossom bridge’ sounded very romantic, but it was not small. It was a huge steel arch bridge that spanned across the Qian River. There were also rails on the bridge that allowed for trolly-transport.
Because of the Dragon Boat Race today, there were a lot of people gathered here.
The peach bridge was located in the Huilong District of Shangjing city. When Xia Pingan arrived, he was also shocked by the liveliness here. The square next to the peach bridge and both sides of the dock of the Dragon race boat were packed with people. At a glance, it looked like a market during the new year. There were too many people, at least 70000 to 80000 people.
At this moment, the policemen in black uniforms were more or less useful. They were blowing whistles and holding red batons. They were trying their best to maintain the order here. Many places on the streets, the square and the bridge had been cordoned off.
There were many cruise ships on the wide qinan River, waiting for the Dragon Boat to start.
Some of the people on the cruise watching the Dragon Boat had already bought tickets, and some were rich and powerful.
It would be very difficult for an ordinary person to find a person in such a place. However, for Xia Pingan, he only used his ” long-distance vision ” ability to search and instantly saw a grass.
Cao Cao stood on the peach blossom bridge and took a good spot to watch the Dragon boats. She stood on her tiptoes and tried to look for herself in the crowd.
Hmm, she had hastily changed into a blue dress and was wearing a beautiful flower crown on her head. Her hair was tied into a beautiful bow with a red silk scarf. Her black hair hung down to her shoulders, making her look as if she was floating in the air. She was beautiful and moving, and had a different kind of beauty in the surging crowd.
After taking a closer look, Zhang tie found some powerhouses were disguising as commoners to protect Cao Cao. Therefore, although there were many people around him, Cao Cao was still relatively relaxed. He didn’t leave any trace.
There were many young men and women who came here to see the Dragon Boat.
Just as Xia ping ‘an saw the grass, the two young men who had come to watch the show also saw the grass. Their eyes lit up. After looking at each other, they revealed malicious smiles and squeezed toward the grass from both sides of the bridge.
Cao Cao didn’t notice anything wrong at all and was still looking around.
Then, a figure suddenly rose from the bridge.
“Plop!””Plop!”
The water under the bridge splashed in all directions, and the two people fell into the river from the bridge for no reason.
ah, someone fell into the water! the person on the bridge shouted.
Stone was used to this kind of thing. Every year, someone would fall into the water when he saw the Dragon Boat. The people on the shore and on the bridge laughed when they saw the two people struggling in the water. They were not nervous at all. Instead, they were even more cheerful. Only the police who maintained order took lifebuoys from the shore and threw them into the water, letting the young men swim to the shore themselves.
Xia Pingan walked through the crowd and came to the bridge. He finally saw the grass.
ah, you’re here, Yingluo. when she saw Xia ping ‘an squeezing out of the crowd, her eyes lit up and she waved at Xia ping’ an happily.
Xia Pingan also squeezed to Cao Cao’s side and let out a breath. She smiled and said, ” phew, I didn’t expect there to be so many people here.
At this moment, Xia Pingan had already returned to his original appearance in front of Cao Cao. He did not look like ” Yangcheng ” anymore. Only when he was in the tower of Duke Zhou and the night market at Tianyuan bridge did he change back to his original appearance-it was Yangcheng who bought the realm beads, and it was also Yangcheng who occupied the dream. No one would think of him.
ahem, ahem, Yingluo, did you notice anything different about me? ” she hastily pulled her skirt and spun in a circle in front of Xia Pingan. The expression on her face was that of ” hurry up and praise me.
Xia Pingan said in a serious tone, ” by the way, I noticed that a strand of hair near your ear is split, Yingluo.
She glared at Xia Pingan and seemed to be a little angry. However, when she turned around, she burst out laughing. you can even notice that a strand of my hair is split. At least you know what’s good for you!
Xia ping ‘an looked at the Dragon boats and the crowd on both sides of the dock Bridge. He frowned slightly, thinking that if the blood demon church made any noise here today, it would be a big deal.
However, was the blood demon church really so bold?
Among the crowd by the bridge and on both sides of the dock, Xia Pingan also found many ” peers ” from the Huilong Inspection Office here. It seemed that the officials were still on guard.
by the way, where did the dragon boat team come from? I don’t think they’re all from Shangjing? ” Xia ping ‘an saw that the Dragon boats were flying all kinds of colorful flags. He felt a little strange. Some of the flags were family flags, some were business group flags, and many of them were flags he had never seen in Shangjing.
of course, those dragon boat teams are from the provinces of the great Shang country. There are also some in Shangjing, but most of them are from the provinces. Those dragon boat races cost about 50000 gold coins to race here.
“Do you need that much money?”
of course, this is an opportunity to show off in Shangjing. The winning team will be rewarded with 500000 gold coins and can also be a guest in the Imperial City and attend the state banquet. Therefore, every year at this time, the wealthy merchants and aristocrats from all provinces of the great Shang country will prepare teams to Race the Dragon Boat at Qin an River. Just treat it as showing off your wealth. This Dragon Boat Race will last for seven days and every time, there will be hundreds of teams participating in the Dragon Boat Race.
It was probably the first time that he had seen the Dragon Boat with so many people on the shore and on the bridge. He seemed very excited and chattered in front of Xia Pingan, telling him about the history of the Dragon Boat in Shangjing.
Meanwhile, Xia Pingan was calculating in his heart. With an entrance fee of 50000 gold coins for each of the hundreds of teams, the Dragon Boat Race would earn tens of millions of gold coins every year. This was too amazing. It was even more amazing than the Olympic Games.
Just as Xia Pingan and Cao Cao were chatting on the bridge, a slender, white, and gorgeous cruise ship sailed under the bridge. It seemed that the cruise ship was also here to watch the Dragon Boat Race.
There were people on the cruise ship and they were standing on the deck. Xia Pingan’s eyes naturally glanced at the yacht.
The people on the cruise seemed to be looking at the scenery on the shore and the bridge.
Then, Xia Pingan saw Yan duo on the White cruise ship.
Yan duo, who was on the White cruise ship, also saw Xia ping ‘an.
Xia Pingan thought that his eyes were playing tricks on him. He rubbed his eyes and looked over again. F * ck, who else could it be but that bastard Yan duo?
With Yan duo’s temperament, even if he turned into grey summer, ping ‘an would recognize him.
Yan duo had changed his hairstyle. He had short black hair and a very manly beard. He was wearing a white shirt and black breeches. The top few buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned, revealing his chest. He looked like a Casanova among the nobles. On his right hand was a beautiful young woman in a long dress and a hat with beautiful bird feathers. That young woman was pointing at the scenery by the Qin an River and saying something to Yan duo.
Of course, Yan duo, who was accompanying the beautiful Countess on the cruise ship, also thought that his eyes were playing tricks on him. He did the same action as Xi ping ‘an almost at the same time. He rubbed his eyes and looked over.
In Yan duo’s eyes, Xia Pingan’s appearance on the peach blossom bridge didn’t change much. She was wearing an exquisite black coat and a top hat, looking like a gentleman in Shangjing. Looking at Cao Cao beside Xia Pingan, Yan duo was also dazzled by Cao Cao’s unparalleled beauty. Yan duo was also cursing in his heart.”F * ck, Xia ping ‘an this bastard. How can he be surrounded by girls of such high standards wherever he goes? is there any justice in this world?”
The two people who had come to this world from earth to participate in the “heaven patching plan” had a dramatic encounter here. For a moment, the two of them were surprised, happy, and speechless.
Xia Pingan didn’t jump down, and Yan duo didn’t jump up either. The two of them just looked at each other. As their eyes met, the White cruise ship gradually disappeared into the distance.
On the yacht, Yan duo suddenly thought of something and gestured to Xia Pingan with sign language. Xia Pingan also nodded.
There was a special cyan flag on the back of the White yacht, on which there was a Golden Anchor and a green bird. Among the Dragon boats in the distance, there was one team whose flag was as same as that of the yacht.
where did the White cruise ship come from? it seems like they also sent a team to participate in the Dragon Boat Race, ” Xia Pingan asked.
He took a quick glance at the flag on the White cruise ship and said naturally, ” that’s the emblem of Countess Lin Qing of the North Sea. Countess Lin Qing is a very famous widow and rich woman in the great Shang country. Every year, she will send a team to participate in the Dragon Boat Race in the capital. However, in just a few years, the best place her team got was only the 17th place, Yingluo.
