Chapter 142:

Ren Yaoqi had no time to react at this time, because the ship suddenly leaned to one side, and the screams one after another almost made people deaf. She only felt a whirl of the sky and the earth, Xiao Jingxi pulled her to the side. On one side, he avoided the short heavy objects that were sliding along with the hull of the ship.
A vase that was originally placed in the corner was smashed, and the fragments flew towards the place where the two of them were. Ren Yaoqi’s head was buried on the chest of the person who was on him, and the originally light medicinal fragrance suddenly became strong. Yaoqi was a little lost, until she heard a soft snort, and a drop of warm liquid splashed on her cheek and scalded her.
Immediately raised his eyes, his gaze fell on the side of the neck of the person in front of him, a blood stain fell on the head, not too deep, but a bit shocking, the wound was bleeding out of the wound, it should be scratched by the flying porcelain shards .
"Are there any injuries?" Xiao Jingxi asked while looking down at her.
Although the hull was still unstable, they had avoided an open place with no debris around.
Ren Yaoqi shook his head: "I'm fine, you bleed..."
Xiao Jingxi stretched out her hand and pulled her up to sit up, smiling gently as if with some comfort: "It's okay."
"What's going on?" Xiao Jinglin said coldly, standing not far away with the window lattice.
Xiao Jinglin's skill is very good, and she has steadily avoided as Xiao Jingxi pulls away from her Ren Yaoqi. The maids who were waiting on the boat also hid in the corner, and no one was seriously injured except for two or three hits.
The arc of the ship's shaking has gradually diminished. Xiao Jingxi stood up and looked out of the ship, frowning slightly: "Someone used explosives."
Ren Yaoqi also got up. Because the boat was still a little unstable, Xiao Jingxi subconsciously gave her a hand, and waited until the hand touched the talent that it was wrong, but waited for someone to stand firm before letting go.
Ren Yaoqi pretended to look nonchalantly at the river, but his brows wrinkled.
Their big boat stopped not far from the end, so it was close to the dragon boat. And those dragon boats were basically blown over, and even two or three near the end were blown up or broken. The water was full of driftwood and people who were throwing and shouting. I saw the river water. The faint red can guess that someone was injured, and I don't know if anyone was killed.
Although their big ship has been affected, it is fortunate that there is no danger, but the high screams and calls for help of the young ladies on the next floor can still be heard.
The people on the high platform also became a group, and the scene was chaotic.
The big ship they were on was not far from the shore. Someone had already put down the board below. The frightened young ladies and girls hurriedly wanted to go ashore because of fear. From time to time, there was the sound of someone falling into the water.
Xiao Jingxi and Xiao Jinglin's siblings were very quiet, and they were not in a hurry to get off the boat. They just looked at the roaring scene outside and didn't know what they were thinking.
Ren Yaoqi was just shocked just now, and now that he calmed down, he couldn't help but think carefully about what happened here today.
She had never seen a dragon boat race in the previous life, nor had she ever remembered such a sudden state in a dragon boat race in which year.
Seeing the dragon boat being blown up on the river, Ren Yaoqi was very surprised.
Gunpowder was used for such a big movement, but it was only the dragon boat that suffered.
Ren Yaoqi knew that although the dragon boats belonged to different families in name, the people who were hardly rowing on the boats were all sent by the families or simply hired by young and middle-aged laborers.
These famous masters of the aristocratic family may personally participate in some ice sports competition on a whim, that is elegant, but it is impossible for anyone to personally fight when racing a dragon boat.
If there is any conspiracy in this matter today, then these explosives should be placed on the high platform of the case or on the big ship they are on. What are the benefits of fried dragon boats?
Ren Yaoqi was lowering his head to ponder, and a figure flashed in from outside. Ren Yaoqi raised his eyes and saw that it was an entourage by Xiao Jingxi he had seen before.
When the man saw the mess in the ship, there was nothing on his face and an anxious and worried look, and he flashed away to Xiao Jing's west side and whispered a few words in his ear.
Ren Yaoqi was very close to Xiao Jingxi, but he only heard words such as "prince" and "arrangement".
Xiao Jinglin also looked over, and did not ask aloud.
Xiao Jingxi only nodded after hearing the report from his entourage, and after a moment of indulgence, he said to Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin: "I need to go down to deal with some things, and you will disembark with me."
Xiao Jinglin nodded, Ren Yaoqi naturally had no objection.
Dongsheng was also waiting outside, and saw the masters come out, busy walking ahead with the other entourage. Although the boat was still a little ups and downs, it was no problem for a few people to walk.
They didn't take the two decks where the others squeezed ashore, but from the side facing the river, they got onto the boat that stopped on the side of the boat sometime.
Huafang traveled a little farther to avoid the chaotic crowds by the river before reaching the shore.
While sitting on the boat, Ren Yaoqi couldn’t help but look at the surface of the river again. There was already a boat rowing over to help rescue those who fell into the water, but Ren Yaoqi’s sight remained on those who had escaped. The hull floated up and down on the several colorful dragon heads on the river, and suddenly it was a heart move.
But she didn't say anything, just turned her head away casually, and then she looked away and saw Xiao Jingxi's thoughtful gaze. Xiao Jingxi met her gaze, smiled slightly and then moved his eyes away, talking to Xiao Jinglin in a low voice.
Ren Yaoqi glanced at him, but after all he lowered his head.
On the shore, people from the Yanbei Palace had long been waiting on the shore, seeing Xiao Jingxi and Xiao Jinglin rushing over.
Xiao Jingxi glanced at Xiao Jinglin, then looked at Ren Yaoqi, smiled and said: "There is a little chaos here. Why don't you go back to the house first, and I will send you back."
Xiao Jinglin thought for a while, but she shook her head and said, "I will go to see my father with you." Looking at Ren Yaoqi and saying, "Yaoqi, we will let people take you home."
Ren Yaoqi smiled and said: "If you have anything, go to work. My grandmother is still working on the case. I'm going to say hello to her to prevent her elderly from worrying. There is also a carriage coming by Ren's family today. I will go back with my family. That is, don't worry about me."
Watching Xiao Jingxi and Xiao Jinglin walking away, Ren Yaoqi nodded to the Dongsheng who had stayed behind to see her: "Let's go see my grandmother."
Rong Shi was really worried about Ren Yaoqi, and waited on the shore with a maid in person. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw Ren Yaoqi appeared, holding her hand and looking at it: "You didn't get on the boat? I let Chu Chu go. I'm looking for you on the boat." Chu Chu is the maid who came with Rong. She is already quite young and knows some fists.
Ren Yaoqi shook his head: "I'm fine." She turned her head and found that the Dongsheng who had sent her over had quietly retreated, presumably because she felt shameless to meet the old master.
Rong Shi brought two maids over today. Seeing that Ren Yaoqi was unharmed, he wanted to leave after Chu Chu came back. Ren Yaoqi looked at the high platform that was not far away. Although some people had already left, there were still some Patriarchs who did not leave, helping Prince Li's Mansion and Su Family to arrange the scene.
At this time, Xiangqin, the maid by Ren Yaohua's side, came over and said, "Miss Fifth, you are fine, Miss Third is looking for you everywhere. Ren's carriage is going back."
Rong said, "In that case, you should go back with your grandmother and others."
Ren Yaoqi nodded because of something in his heart, he pondered for a moment and nodded: "Grandma, too, I will stay in Yunyang City for a few days. When I'm free, I will go with my sister to see you and grandfather." RS
