It turned out to be a ship!
Si Jinxing's eyes suddenly lit up. This ship really arrived at the right time!
Seeing this, Mo Qiu gave Bai Xi a look.
Bai Xi did not dare to be careless. This reminded him of the black shadow that flashed by in the princess's hand when he was on the deck just now!
Not to mention anything else, just relying on the enemy shooting a few arrows at the boat, they might not be able to protect the princess!
At this time, not only the three of them saw the boat, but many people also saw it!
This gave hope to the people who were floating on the water and felt extremely insecure!
They shouted, "Come and save us!"
“We’re here!”
The ship seemed to have heard the cry for help and sped up towards this place!
Not long after, a large ship stopped two meters away from everyone!
Seeing this, Si Jinxing immediately said:
"I'm afraid the people have already given up. Take me up quickly and discuss with the captain about rescuing them!"
Bai Xi shook his head slightly and said:
"Princess, please wait here for a moment. I'll be right back!"
After he finished speaking, he jumped onto the boat!
Bai Xi's action surprised the people!
As expected, the people around the goddess are all extremely capable!
They couldn't help but think that the goddess had just made such a deafening sound and ignited the colorful ceiling, which was why she attracted the ship?
The people could not help but murmur:
"Did you hear what those people called the goddess?"
"I heard it. Some people call her the County Princess, some call her the Princess, and some call her the Young Lady!"
“These are not worthy of our goddess. She is of noble status, but she went to great lengths to save us.
Look, the ship has sunk, and we are indeed not missing a single person!"
“They say saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. The goddess has saved over a hundred lives tonight!
If she isn't a goddess who saves the suffering, who else could she be?"
Si Jinxing stared at the boat, feeling extremely anxious, and said:
"Why has Bai Xi been gone for so long and hasn't come back yet?"
Mo Qiu glanced at the princess beside him without changing his expression, coughed lightly and said:
"He just went up, and he probably hasn't seen the captain yet.
Princess, please wait patiently for a moment."
Upon hearing this, Si Jinxing glared at Mo Qiu and said:
"It would be better if I went there myself!"
Mo Qiu glanced around, not daring to be careless in his heart, but said:
"What if the person on that boat wants to kill you? Wouldn't that be like walking into a knife?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the voice of Qingchan:
"Princess, Mo Qiu!"
It was clearly a winter night and the river was extremely cold, but Qingchan was sweating profusely!
She looked her princess up and down, and seeing that even her skirt was not wet, she was completely relieved.
Seeing Qingchan coming back, Si Jinxing said happily:
"Have a good rest! You must have been exhausted from going back and forth!
I told you not to move just now because I wanted to take everyone with you. Now that the boat is here, we don’t have to row to the shore by ourselves!
Qing Chan nodded and said, "Nothing's wrong. As long as the princess is well, everything will be fine!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard two laughs coming from the big ship!
Si Jinxing frowned, looked at Bai Xi who jumped down from the boat, and asked:
"Why? Are you acquainted with the captain of that ship?"
Bai Xi landed beside her and said with a smile, "Not only do I recognize this person, but even Mo Qiu and Qing Chan recognize him!"
When these words were spoken, several people were stunned.
Qing Chan couldn't help but ask, "Could it be someone from the capital? Who is it?"
Bai Xi didn't keep the secret and said directly:
"Princess, do you remember when Yaxu Lao opened its doors? Someone framed us, saying someone had died from eating in the shop?"
After hearing this, Si Jinxing thought of such a thing.
She raised her eyebrows slightly and asked in disbelief, "Could it be the person I saved?"
Bai Xi nodded and said, "Yes, that's the man!
He said he had received a letter from the prince the other day, saying that we were passing through here recently and asked him to stay here and keep an eye on us to prevent any danger.
As soon as he finished speaking, a male voice came from the boat:
"My benefactor, it's been a long time since we last met. Could you please do me the honor of coming over for a cup of hot tea?"
When Si Jinxing heard this, he thought of the day when this person was scolded by Lei Qianyin during the Yaxu Lao, so he bowed again and again to apologize.
It was indeed his own fault for being short-sighted and making the wrong friends, which almost got others into trouble!
She couldn't help but laugh and said, "Of course we have to drink hot tea, but these people..."
Before she could finish her words, she saw several thick ropes thrown down from the boat!
Seeing this, Si Jinxing hurriedly said, "This county lady thanks Manager Liu on behalf of the people!"
After she finished speaking, she raised her voice to the people behind her who were already frozen stiff, saying:
"This is Manager Liu from Haizhou, Northern Jiangsu. After you express your gratitude, you can line up and board the ship!"
Upon hearing this, everyone hurriedly thanked the person standing at the bow.
Only then did they scramble to climb onto the deck using the ropes!
It was not until everyone stepped on the hard deck that the people who had survived the disaster felt their legs shaking!
Many people couldn't help but fall to the ground, and it took them a long time to recover!
Liu Kai looked at the woman coming towards him, bowed deeply, and said:
"Liu Kai felt guilty towards his benefactor. He was not able to discern the situation at that moment, and that's why he arrived too late, causing his benefactor to suffer."
Si Jinxing waved his hands and said:
"How can I blame you? Who could have imagined that this ship would have an accident in the middle of the night?"
She glanced at He Wenqin and several imperial physicians who were attending to the common people, and asked in a low voice:
"You and the prince actually know each other?"
She asked this question not because she was suspicious, but because she thought that the man clearly had time to write a letter, but he never wrote her one, not even a few words!
Liu Kai led the way into the cabin and explained in a low voice:
"Your Highness actually didn't write a letter to Liu, but to my father."
Si Jinxing raised her eyebrows slightly, but heard Mo Qiu behind her say:
"Could it be that Shopkeeper Liu's father was the famous salt merchant in Suchuan Prefecture, Liu Cuntang?"
