The next second, more than a dozen arrows shot towards the painted boat, and each one was aimed at Yi'er.
Su Ruojin immediately tore off her cloak, wrapped it around Xiaobao, and rolled away with him to avoid the incoming arrows.
These people are here for Xiao Bao!!
Su Ruojin immediately realized the problem and quickly took Xiaobao and hid in the cabin.
A muffled groan rang out, and the boatman, struck by an arrow, collapsed at the bow of the boat.
Su Ruojin quickly told Xiaobao to hide under the table and rushed out to pull the boatman back into the cabin.
Jiang Qi'an drew the soft sword from his waist and deflected the incoming arrows.
The pleasure boat was not far from the shore. An Yi and his men, who were lying in ambush, rushed out when they saw this.
"Protect the Prince and the Crown Prince!" An Yi led several guards towards the archers' hiding place.
At this moment, several men in black jumped out of the water at the bow of the ship and were about to rush into the cabin. Jiang Qi'an blocked their way, and several guards also jumped onto the ship. The two sides then engaged in a fierce battle.
Several men in black jumped out of the water at the stern and rushed into the cabin, but before they could get close to Su Ruojin, she had already collapsed and died from poisoning.
Su Ruojin held Xiaobao and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, Xiaobao. Your sister is here. Your sister won't let anyone hurt you."
Xiao Bao, who was initially trembling with fear, gradually calmed down. His older sister had told him that he was a man and that a man shouldn't be afraid.
Although the men in black outnumbered each other, they were no match for Jiang Qi'an and his guards, and the battle ended in no time.
The guards also captured three survivors. Su Ruojin warned, "Be careful they don't swallow poison."
Upon hearing this, An Er quickly dislocated the jaws of the three men to prevent them from biting through the poison hidden in their teeth.
"Take him away and interrogate him thoroughly! Make sure you find out who's behind this!" Jiang Qi'an said coldly.
"yes!"
Since this has happened, swimming in the lake is no longer possible.
Su Ruojin treated the boatman's wounds, told him to get medicine from Ren'ai Hall, and then took Xiaobao back to the clinic.
After Xiao Bao fell asleep, Su Ruojin came to Jiang Qi'an and said, "Young Master Jiang, these people came for Xiao Bao today."
At the time, Jiang Qi'an was playing the piano on the second-floor terrace of the painted boat, while Xiao Bao and I were watching the fish on the first floor. No matter how you looked at it, Jiang Qi'an's target was more obvious.
If the arrows were aimed at Jiang Qi'an, it's impossible for most of them to hit the first floor.
Jiang Qi'an nodded: "Miss Su and I agree. The weapons those people used were not marked, and the results of the interrogation are still pending."
“Young Master Jiang, I don’t know your and Xiao Bao’s identities, but you’re being watched now. If you stay any longer, I don’t know what else you’ll encounter. I think you should take Xiao Bao and leave Yan Yang now.”
The other party has sent two groups of people from yesterday to today. Last night she thought they were after Jiang Qi'an, but now it seems they are after Xiao Bao.
Jiang Qi'an has martial arts skills and can protect himself, but what about Xiao Bao?
The number of people who came yesterday and today wasn't too large, so it was manageable. But if the other side were to become desperate and send even more people, Su Ruojin couldn't guarantee that she could protect Xiaobao.
The best course of action now is for Jiang Qi'an to quickly take Xiao Bao away from Yanyang and return to their own home.
Since Jiang Qi'an was able to send so many guards to protect Xiao Bao in secret, Xiao Bao would definitely be much safer back home than staying in the clinic.
“They’ve failed twice in a row, suffering heavy casualties. I estimate they won’t make a move anytime soon. It’s safest for you to leave now.” Su Ruojin tried to persuade Jiang Qi’an again when he didn’t speak.
Jiang Qi'an knew Su Ruojin was right. He had wanted to stay another night, even just one more night would have been nice, but now...
Actually, he didn't even need to interrogate her; he already guessed who was targeting Yi'er.
