Chapter 159 The Pleasure Boat Is in Danger, Qi Suining Has Ulterior Motives
Shen Qing and Lu Yan looked at each other and saw something unusual in each other's eyes.
This boating party was proposed by Qi Yichuan, and the invitees were all young ladies from the families of major officials in the DPRK, so it was impossible for Qi Yichuan not to check carefully. This sudden water leak was too intriguing.
The noise outside became more and more intense, with running and screaming, but the two of them remained motionless and continued to drink tea and cake as if nothing had happened.
It's not that the two of them had any foresight in mind, but they were simply afraid that there would be a stampede due to the large number of people. Lu Yan, who had used his internal energy once and caused the toxins in his body to rapidly approach his heart veins, was really no different from Crispy Skin now.
Anyway, it won’t be flooded for a while, so it won’t be too late to leave when there is more water.
on deck.
Qi Suining glanced around the crowd and didn't see the two people he wanted to see. He couldn't help but frowned. What's going on? Why didn't Lu Yan and Shen Qing come over?
Qi Yichuan walked out of the cabin with a sullen face and took charge of the overall situation: "Don't panic, my people have already started to deal with it. The leak is not serious and will be repaired in a while."
Hearing this, everyone felt relieved instantly, so they had the time to attack, "Please General Qi, please give us an explanation as to why such a thing happened?"
The speaker was Gu Huaijun, the second son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, who was also Gu Tingshuang's biological brother. Because of their similar temperaments, the two had always gotten along, and now he was also the one with the highest status among everyone present.
Someone started, and the cheers started instantly.
"Second Young Master Gu is right. General Qi has to give me an explanation. Is there someone who wants to murder one of us?"
"What? Murder? I'm the only one in my family. Don't implicate me in whoever's causing trouble!"
"Instead of thinking about these, let's think about how we can save ourselves first!"
Coincidentally, the boat was rowing right to the center at this time, and as the amount of water continued to increase, the boat, which was originally moving slowly, came to a standstill.
While everyone was arguing, the boat tilted suddenly, and everyone on the deck staggered instantly. Fortunately, a fence was set up to prevent those standing on the edge from falling into the water, but it was enough to cause panic.
"How could this happen? The boat won't sink, right? I don't know how to swim!"
A stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the crowd that Qi Yichuan had finally calmed down became restless again. No one wanted to stand on the edge anymore, but the space on the deck was so big, there was always someone in danger, so everyone started pushing and shoving .
The already unstable boat tilted again, and everyone suddenly turned pale. Qi Yichuan said loudly: "Everyone, don't panic. My people have already swam ashore to find the boat. They will be here soon. As long as you don't move, we will Nothing will happen!"
Xie Zhaohua risked his life and stood directly on the edge of the deck, looking at everyone, "Everyone, I am Xie Zhaohua, Miss Wulie Houfu, and I am also the fiancée of General Qi. I am standing here. Can you rest assured now?
No one wants to see anything happen to Huafang, but it has come to this, and what we have to do now is to stay calm and wait for rescue. "
After the words fell, the restlessness in the crowd suddenly decreased a little, but it was only temporary.
Qi Suining walked to Qi Yichuan's side and whispered: "Brother, Prince Lu and Miss Shen haven't come out yet."
Qi Yichuan looked at her deeply, said nothing, turned around and went in to find someone.
As soon as Qi Yichuan entered the cabin, he saw Lu Yan and Shen Qing walking across the water. The two of them walked steadily, and there was no trace of panic on their faces.
Qi Yichuan was a little surprised and couldn't help but wonder: "Why did Prince Lu and Miss Shen come out? But seeing that they are in good condition, I feel relieved."
Lu Yan responded casually, "We have nothing to worry about. The one who is most nervous right now is probably General Qi. Jiao Jiao and I still have the strength. General Qi should go about his own business."
The people on the boat were all the direct descendants of the ministers of the DPRK, and they were all delicate. If something happened, the Pingxihou Mansion would definitely become the sinner of the entire Shengjing.
Qi Yichuan's face darkened, he nodded towards Lu Yan and walked deeper into the cabin.
At this time, the water in the cabin has accumulated to a depth of one finger. If it continues like this, it may really sink.
Lu Yanchenqing calmly walked to the deck and saw that the deck was full of people, more crowded than the dumplings in the pot on New Year's Eve.
The two looked at each other and did not choose to squeeze into the crowd, but stopped at the edge of the cabin.
The water covered the uppers of their shoes, and their shoes and socks were already soaked, but compared to the crowds and potential dangers on the deck, this discomfort was nothing.
Seeing that the two of them were no longer moving forward, Qi Suining said a little anxiously: "Prince Lu, Miss Shen, come here quickly, the water in the cabin is too deep."
Shen Qing raised his head and glanced at her, with a slight curve in the corner of his mouth. Qi Suining was suddenly so kind, which really sounded like a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a rooster.
"Shen Qing has thanked Miss Qi for her kindness, but the deck is crowded, so Prince Lu and I can't go there first."
Qi Suining followed up and said: "Miss Shen, I have reserved a place for you here. Prince Lu is weak, and if he gets wet, it will cause cold. If Miss Shen doesn't think about herself, she should think about Prince Lu." yes."
Hearing such extraordinary thoughtfulness, Xie Zhaohua was filled with suspicion. What is Qi Suining going crazy about?
After finding a slightly higher place for Shen Qing to stand, Lu Yan looked at Qi Suining and asked with a hint of questioning: "What does Miss Qi mean by this? Could it be that I am made of paper and will get cold if I touch water?" ?”
Everyone on the deck was complaining in their hearts: Others would not get wet, but you are the most fragile Prince Lu in Shengjing, so it is hard to say.
Qi Suining pursed his lips, "Prince Lu has wronged me, I am just worried about you."
Lu Yan did not accept it and threw his worry directly to the ground, "I like wading in the water."
Everyone eating melons: Good guy, why is it like Shura Field?
Qi Suining stopped talking, and Lu Yan turned around and stepped on the water to walk back into the cabin, fulfilling his words that he likes wading in the water.
After a while, Lu Yan moved two chairs out of the cabin, found a flat place to put them, and then sat down side by side with Shen Qing.
The corners of their clothes were soaked, but they always looked calm and unhurried. Everyone couldn't help but wonder: They can still sit at this time, could it be that they can swim?
As soon as the thought came to his mind, he subconsciously looked at Lu Yan. This place was at least a hundred feet away from the shore. With Lu Yan's weak physique, could he swim out ten feet?
It was a bit uncertain.
The two people sitting leisurely on the chairs had already started chatting, as if they didn't care about the current situation and the eyes of the crowd at all.
Everyone really had nothing to do, so they pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
"Jiaojiao, can you swim?"
"Well, I learned a little when I was in Yuncheng before."
Lu Yan's eyes were sparkling, and the shadow of Shen Qing was full in his eyes, "If the boat really sinks later, can Jiaojiao take me ashore? I can't swim."
Everyone on the deck: "???"
No, as a grown man, how can you have the nerve to say such a thing?
Shen Qing leaned back a little and sighed, "It probably won't work."
Lu Yan's eyes were gentle, and he said with a little regret, "That's a pity, I haven't married you yet."
Shen Qing smiled, "But before I leave, I will definitely find you a driftwood."
Lu Yan smiled happily, "Jiaojiao is so considerate."
Everyone was silent: It's hard enough to survive, and you are forced to eat dog food. Are you really human?
