With complicated emotions, everyone began to cheer enthusiastically towards the Wanhualou and the flower boats of Qunfang Pavilion in Hangzhou City, which were slowly approaching. Wanhualou is dressed up as brilliant as ever this time, and the whole flower boat is equipped with two big wings as thin as cicada wings, painted with gorgeous patterns, like a huge and beautiful flower butterfly. The big boat of Qunfang Pavilion is dressed up as a koi fish just like last year, and the head and tail of the fish can swim slowly under the light, which is an eye-opener. However, whether it is Wanhualou or Qunfang Pavilion, although the posture of Chu Xiangxiang and Gu Panpan on the bow of the ship is not inferior to others, the stern of the ship is empty, and there are only a few musicians standing in the building, and there is not a single celebrity who helps the boxer. This is in stark contrast to the strong lineup on the ship of Fengyue Lou and Lanjiang Lou in front.

The flower boat of Qin Xiaoxiao of Yangzhou Yunshui Pavilion and the flower boat of Feng Susu of Mingfeng Yuan appeared after the two flower boats of Hangzhou Mansion. The decoration of the flower boat is not enough, the decoration of several flower boats has its own merits, but the lineup on the ship is superior. The four flower boats of Jiangning Mansion and Yangzhou Mansion that came to compete for the Oiran Contest were bustling with celebrities and literati, but the two flower boats in Hangzhou City were not at all famous people who helped the fist.

Everyone understands the difference and the importance of this, and the role of the people who help the fighters in the Oiran tournament over the years is unparalleled. Often is the guarantee of winning the Oiran. Because the Oiran Contest is at the end, the color art of the participating Oiran often reaches a very high level, so it is not possible to distinguish the high, at this time, it is often based on the ability of the person who helps the boxer. With the same voice and singing skills, if you sing a good song, you can be superior to others, and if you sing a song that others listen to badly, it will greatly reduce people's feelings, which is the difference.

The most obvious thing is that at last year's Oiran Competition, Gu Panpan and Chu Xiangxiang's color art was a cut above Xie Yingying of Zhiyuan Moon Tower. In terms of beautiful singing and dancing skills, Xie Yingying is obviously invincible, but it is precisely because of Lin Jue, who helped Mochizuki Tower, that he came to a repertoire with ingenuity and successfully made up for the gap in another way. In the end, it was the final word in the final lyrics and songs, and the song crushed Sima Qingshan and Dongfang Weiming, and broke out a few big upsets in the Oiran Contest and won the championship. It can be seen that the competition of the Oiran Contest is not a certain aspect of strength, but a competition of all-round strength.

However, in the current situation, although Wanhualou and Qunfangge seemed to be not losing to their opponents in appearance, the people who understood it had already sensed a huge surprise, and they were not only worried in their hearts.

Six flower boats slowly circled the front of the stage, and then slowly sailed into the side mooring. It is divided into several rows by wooden pillars nailed into the water, and it is where the flower boats are moored and waiting. A dozen small boats followed the side of the boat, they were the ships responsible for guarding and guiding, and they were also neatly moored on the lake near the left of the boat.

After the flower boat enters the venue, it is the VIP entry time. The dragon-headed ship of the prince sailed proudly from the lake to the north with an arrogant momentum. When the people of Hangzhou saw the dragon head with teeth and claws on the bow of the prince's ship, their hearts were a little settled. Many people suddenly figured out that Wanhualou and Qunfang Pavilion are the property of King Liang, and Lord Liang must have made arrangements, so how could the competitive King Liang's Mansion let Oiran fall aside? Although the impression of Liang Wangfu is not good on weekdays, but at this moment, the appearance of Liang Wangye is like a reassuring pill, and everyone wants to have a psychological support at a critical time, and Liang Wangye is obviously this dependence.

"The prince is healthy!"

"Lord Chitose Jin'an!"

"The grass people and others kowtow to King Liang Chitose!"

The people shouted one after another, and some knelt down and saluted, and they were in a mess.

"The people are very knowledgeable tonight, and they know how to give face to this king in front of outsiders." Liang Wang Guo Bing stood on the bow of the boat and waved his hand, and smiled at the little prince Guo Kun and the little county lord Guo Caiwei beside him.

"The people of Hangzhou have always loved and revered their father, but not only today." Guo Kun said busily.

"This is called the same hatred and hatred, outsiders come to my Hangzhou to challenge, and Hangzhou is naturally one heart. When there is a challenge from an external enemy, it is the best time to unite people's hearts internally. The little county lord smiled.

"What Wei'er said is very true, I didn't expect Wei'er to understand these truths. As the so-called external pressure and internal cohesion, this is also a means of cohesion. Although Jiangning Prefecture and Yangzhou Mansion are not enemies, they came to Hangzhou to win the Oiran, and obviously I and the people in Hangzhou did not agree. This time is a good opportunity for our Liang Wangfu to win the hearts of the people. The key is not to lose, and losing is counterproductive. Guo Bing said in a deep voice.

"What my father said is very true, the same as what Lin Jue said."

"Oh? Lin Jue said the same thing? This kid knows a lot. So is he sure of victory? Guo Bing said with a smile.

"This time the opponent is so strong, who dares to say that he will win? However, Lin Jue and his daughter have done their best. Lin Jue didn't close his eyes for two nights, and his daughter only slept for two hours last night. Seek to be in people, become in the sky, even if you lose, Daddy should not blame Lin Jue. He really tried his best. "The little county lord said.

"Daddy knows, how can he blame others indiscriminately. This time it was indeed overshadowed, and Lin Jue accepted that time was in a hurry, but I hope I can still win. You all know who came to Hangzhou, that Wu Chunlai is the dog next to Lu Zhongtian, and he came to see Lao Tzu's jokes. If I lose, I'm going to go crazy just by looking at his face. If you can see him like a lost dog, the king will be relieved. So Lin Jue had better win, if he wins, I will definitely agree to his request, no matter how difficult it is. After a while, I called him and promised him this condition. ”

"Really? Does Daddy's Talk Count? If you win tonight, will you really do what you need? The little county lord said happily.

"Of course, Daddy is the prince, is he talking nonsense? It's not...... Chrysostom is a good word, but it is also a promise. But as long as I can do it, I will definitely agree to his request. Guo Bing said with a smile.

"Great, I'll tell him in a moment. He must have been glad to know that. Guo Caiwei jumped up happily.

Guo Bing said strangely: "Why is Wei'er so happy?" What I promised was Lin Jue, not to you, why are you so happy? ”

"I'm happy for Lin Gongzi, can't I?" Guo Caiwei smiled very sweetly.

Guo Kun on the side was puzzled at first, but then he suddenly realized, and he immediately understood his sister's thoughts.

"Sister, even if Lin Jue wins tonight, he can't promise him anything. If he asks for non-points, he will not allow it. A condition is a condition, but it cannot be excessive. Guo Kun lightly poured cold water on his sister.

"Daddy, what did you hear my brother say, didn't Daddy say anything he could agree to? But he said so. Guo Caiwei said angrily.

"Hehe, Wei'er, your brother is right. I would promise him a reward, but I wouldn't be able to say yes to everything. If he makes a non-dividing request, he will not allow it. Guo Bing patted Guo Caiwei's hand and smiled.

"What do you mean by a non-point requirement? Daddy doesn't talk anymore. Guo Caiwei was unhappy and frowned.

"It's very simple, for example, if this kid wants me to marry my baby Vile to him, can Daddy still allow it? That's the non-dividing requirement. It's called a lion's mouth wide open, you see? Guo Bing laughed.

Guo Caiwei opened her mouth in embarrassment, turned her head and held on to the railing and stopped talking. His careful thoughts were trampled out all of a sudden, and his father didn't know whether he was joking on purpose or unintentionally saying this, which made Guo Caiwei feel a little more puzzled.

Guo Kun sneered in his heart, looked at the floating platform wrapped in black cloth in front of him and frowned, "What the hell is Lin Jue doing?" Why is it not finished yet? ”

Guo Bing squinted when he heard this, and he also saw the black and tall floating platform standing on the water, compared with the other two beautifully lit stages on both sides, it was like a cloud, not only did he frown.

Guo Bing was about to speak, when suddenly the hull of the boat shook, and it turned out that he had already landed on the water dock. Shen Tan, the commander of the guards, said loudly on the side: "Lord Wang, little Lord Wangye, the boat is on the floating platform, do you want to get off the boat and sit?" ”

……

When Guo Bing, father and son slowly stepped onto the platform surrounded by guards, a group of officials had already gathered at the place where they took the stage and bowed down to greet them. Headed by Wu Chunlai and Li Shiqing, there were no less than 30 officials at all levels of the prefect of the three cities, all of whom bowed their hands.

"Welcome to King Liang's Chitose." The officials shouted in unison.

Guo Bing smiled and bowed back: "You adults don't have to be polite. ”

Everyone stood up straight politely, Guo Bing's eyes fell on Wu Chunlai, Wu Chunlai was also looking at Guo Bing, the two looked at each other, and they both felt the unkindness in each other's eyes. Wu Chunlai is a celebrity next to Lu Zhongtian, and Guo Bing and Lu Zhongtian are on the verge of fire, so the two naturally don't have a good impression of each other. When Guo Bing left the capital and came to Hangzhou, this Wu Chunlai was still an unknown young man, and Guo Bing had never even seen him. But what happened in the court later, he had heard about Wu Chunlai's betrayal of Fang Dunru, so he was full of disdain for this Wu Chunlai.

"This one must be Lord Wu, look up to him for a long time. This king has long heard that there is a capable director Wu in the political affairs hall, so it must be you. Guo Bing looked at Wu Chunlai with sharp eyes and said.

"Where, where, the prince praised it falsely. Where does the lower official have any ability, but he is just doing his best to be loyal to the imperial court. It is the name of the prince, and the lower officials are like thunder. Twenty years ago, the prince guarded Hangzhou at the behest of the emperor and swept the southeast bandits to shock the world. Not long ago, the prince exterminated the bandit Hai Dongqing, and the pirates he killed fled in all directions. The court and the central government all applauded and praised the prince. The lower officials have admired the prince for a long time, and they have long wanted to see the prince and listen to the teachings. Wu Chunlai bowed down and said with a smile.

Guo Bing laughed and said: "Master Wu, you are quite good at talking, Lu Xiangding is very respectful of you, so likable." ”

Wu Chunlai frowned and said with a smile: "Lu Xiang treats me very well, but he doesn't treat me like this alone. Lu Xiang is kind and generous, and he is very good to all his colleagues in the political affairs hall. By the way, Lu Xiang asked the lower officials to convey his respect for the prince, and Lu Xiang said that the next time the prince enters Beijing, he will invite the prince to drink and congratulate the prince on exterminating the bandits. Speaking of which, Xia Guan was a little rude, originally Xia Guan arrived in Hangzhou in the early hours of this morning, and he should have come to visit the prince. But the lower official stayed awake all night, his body was sleepy, and he was worried that he would lose his honor in front of the prince. In addition, the opening of this Oiran Contest is also going to make some arrangements, for fear of disturbing the prince. Therefore, he only ordered someone to send a famous post to visit, and the prince would not blame the lower officials for being rude. ”

"Hahaha, how can you blame Lord Wu. This king is indeed very busy today, and you have come to see this king, and this king may not be free to see you. Don't think too much about Lord Wu, can there be fewer opportunities to meet? ”

"That's good, that's good. The prince is magnanimous and benevolent, and it is really the same as the rumors in the capital. When the lower officials came to Hangzhou, they were full of praise for the prince. Just now, the prince came, and the people shouted in unison, the momentum was huge, it seems that the people of Hangzhou love the prince from the bottom of their hearts. After returning to Beijing, the lower officials will report to Lu Xiang what they have heard today, and tell Lu Xiang how popular the prince is on Liangzhejiang Road. Hehe, hehe. Wu Chunlai said with a smile.

A cold glint flashed in Guo Bing's eyes, and he was extremely angry in his heart. Wu Chunlai's words were not a good intention, it was a subtle threat. He wanted to tell Lu Zhongtian that he was loved by the people in Hangzhou, which was not a good thing. The more he won the hearts of the people, the more unhappy the royal brother became. Boasting that he won the hearts of the people is not a compliment, but slander and threat, and he would rather be said to be unbearable in the capital. The dog seemed to be aware of this, and deliberately said something like this.
