Ren Yaoqi didn't have time to react at this time, because the boat suddenly tilted to one side, and the screams one after another could almost make people deaf. On one side, he avoided the short heavy objects that slid over as the ship tilted.

A vase that was originally placed in the corner was smashed, and the fragments flew towards the place where the two were. Ren Yaoqi's head was buried on the chest of the person on the body. Yao Qi was a little distracted, until she heard a soft hum, and a drop of warm liquid splashed onto her cheek, scalding her.

Immediately raised his eyes, his eyes just fell on the side neck of the person in front of him, a bloodstain fell on it, not too deep but a little shocking, the wound was bleeding out, it should be scratched by the splashed porcelain fragments .

"Are you injured?" Xiao Jingxi lowered his head and asked while looking at her.

Although the hull is still unstable, they have already avoided an open place, and there are no debris around.

Ren Yaoqi shook her head: "I'm fine, you're bleeding..."

Xiao Jingxi stretched out his hand to pull her to sit up, and smiled gently as if bringing some comfort: "It's okay."

"What's going on here?" Xiao Jinglin, who was standing not far from the window lattice, said coldly.

Xiao Jinglin's skill is very good, when Xiao Jingxi pulled Ren Yaoqi away, she had already avoided it steadily. The maids serving on the boat also hid in a corner, except for two or three being hit by something, no one was seriously injured.

The swaying arc of the ship gradually became smaller, 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, he didn't feel it was right when his hands touched her, but he didn't let go until someone stabilized himself.

Ren Yaoqi pretended to be nonchalant and looked at the river outside, but couldn't help frowning.

Their big boat stopped not far from the finish line, so it was also close to the dragon boat. And those few dragon boats were basically turned over by the bombing, and even two or three near the end were blown apart or broken. There were driftwood everywhere in the water and people thumping and shouting. From the faint red, one can guess that someone was injured, and it is not known whether anyone was killed.

Although their big ship was affected, fortunately, there was no danger, but the screams and cries for help of the young masters and ladies on the next floor could still be heard.

The people on the high platform also became a mess, and the scene was chaotic.

The big boat they were in was not far from the shore, and someone had already lowered the planks below, and the frightened young masters and ladies hurried to go ashore because of fear. Occasionally there was the sound of someone falling into the water.

Brothers and sisters Xiao Jingxi and Xiao Jinglin were very calm, they were not in a hurry to get off the boat, they just looked at the chaotic scene outside and didn't know what they were thinking.

Ren Yaoqi was only taken aback just now, but now that she has calmed down, she can't help thinking carefully about what is going on here today.

In her previous life, she had never been to a dragon boat race, and she had no memory of such a sudden state of affairs in any year's dragon boat race.

Seeing the blown up dragon boat on the river, Ren Yaoqi was very surprised.

The movement was so loud that gunpowder was used, but it was only the dragon boat that suffered.

Ren Yaoqi knew that although the dragon boats belonged to each family in name, the people on the boats who rowed hard were all entourages sent by each family or simply hired young and middle-aged laborers.

These masters of famous families may take part in some ice games on a whim, which is elegant, but it is impossible for anyone to participate in the dragon boat race in person.

If there is any conspiracy in today's incident, then these explosives should be placed on the high platform on the case or on the big ship they are on. What are the benefits of frying a dragon boat?

Ren Yaoqi was lowering her head to think, when a figure flashed in from outside, Ren Yaoqi raised her eyes and saw that it was a follower beside Xiao Jingxi whom she had seen before.

When the man saw the mess in the boat, he didn't see any anxious or worried expression on his face, and without changing his expression, he flashed to Xiao Jingxi's side and whispered a few words in his ear.

Ren Yaoqi was very close to Xiao Jingxi, but she only heard the words "prince" and "arrangement".

Xiao Jinglin also looked over, but didn't ask each other.

Xiao Jingxi only nodded after listening to the report from his entourage, and after pondering for a moment, he said to Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin: "I need to go down to deal with some things, you all get off the boat with me."

Xiao Jinglin nodded, and Ren Yaoqi naturally had no objection.

Dongsheng was also waiting outside, seeing the masters coming out, he hurriedly walked ahead with another follower to open the way. Although the boat still had some ups and downs, it was no problem for a few people to walk.

The few of them didn't take the two boards that other people crowded to get ashore, but boarded the painting boat that stopped beside the boat at some time from the side facing the river.

The painting boat circled a little farther to avoid the chaotic crowd by the river before it began to dock.

While sitting on the painting boat, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but look towards the river again, there was already a boat rowing over to help save those injured people who fell into the water, but Ren Yaoqi's eyes stayed on the few people who had escaped. The body of the boat floated up and down on several colorful dragon heads on the river, and suddenly there was a movement in my heart.

But she didn't make a sound, she just turned her head away as if nothing had happened, and when she didn't want to look away, she saw Xiao Jingxi's thoughtful gaze. Xiao Jingxi met her gaze, smiled slightly and looked away, talking to Xiao Jinglin in a low voice.

Ren Yaoqi glanced at him a few times, but finally lowered her head.

On the shore, people from the Yanbei Palace had already been waiting on the shore, seeing Xiao Jingxi and Xiao Jinglin hastily greeted them.

Xiao Jingxi glanced at Xiao Jinglin, then at Ren Yaoqi, and said with a smile, "It's a bit messy here, why don't you go back to your residence first, I'll send you back home."

Xiao Jinglin thought for a while, but shook her head and said, "I will go to see father with you." Then she looked at Ren Yaoqi and said, "Yaoqi, we will send you home."

Ren Yaoqi said with a smile: "If you have anything to do, go and do it. My grandmother is still on the case over there. I'm going to say hello to her so that she won't worry about her. Ren's family also has a carriage coming today. I will go back with my family That's right, don't worry about me."

Watching Xiao Jingxi and Xiao Jinglin go away, Ren Yaoqi nodded to Dongsheng who stayed behind to see her off: "Let's go see grandma."

Sure enough, Rong was very worried about Ren Yaoqi, so she took a maid and waited on the shore in person. Seeing Ren Yaoqi appearing, she couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, held her hand and looked at her: "You didn't get on the boat, did you? I'll let Chuchu go I'm looking for you on the boat." Chu Chu is the maid who came with Rong's, she is no longer young, and she knows how to punch.

Ren Yaoqi shook her head: "I'm fine." She turned her head and found that Dongsheng who had sent her over had quietly retreated, presumably because she felt ashamed to meet her old master.

Rong brought two maids here today, and seeing that Ren Yaoqi was safe, she wanted to leave after Chuchu came back. Ren Yaoqi looked at the high platform 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's House to arrange the scene.

At this time, Xiangqin, the maid next to Ren Yaohua, came over: "Miss Fifth, as long as you are fine, Miss San is looking for you everywhere. The Ren family's carriage is about to go back."

Rong said: "In that case, go back with your grandmother and the others."

Because Ren Yaoqi had something on her mind, she pondered for a moment and then nodded, "Grandmother should go back too. I will stay in Yunyang City for a few more days. When I have time, I will go see you and grandfather with my sister." RS
