Chapter 523 Wake Up

"These are warships." The princes and princesses were extremely excited as they looked at the two tall, huge ships moored at the dock.

In addition, there are more than a dozen ships of various types forming a fleet to protect the two main ships in the middle.

It is equipped with a racket, a crossbow, a catapult, etc.

Li Ke, Li Tai, Li You, Li Yuanchang and others surrounded these devices and asked questions.

Li Chengqian and Su Ying looked at it and smiled without saying anything. It took several people to coordinate to fire the bed crossbow once, and the range was only seventy or eighty feet away.

The deterrent effect is greater than the actual killing power. If it hits a person, it can penetrate several people. If it hits the hull of a ship, the ship will not even shake.

The catapults on the ship could either throw stones to smash the enemy ships, or throw oil tanks, and then use crossbows to shoot rockets to set the enemy ships on fire.

These were indeed very powerful before, but compared with the fire caltrops and crossbows that were about to be built, they were simply unbearable.

The first and second generations of Tribulus terrestris have been released, and the development of the third generation has begun.

The initial version is loud but not very lethal, just for scaring enemies who haven't seen it before.

Once the enemy steals the technology, we will immediately upgrade it to an upgraded version.

The crossbow has been developed with a torsion spring, with a range of one hundred feet. The upgraded version has a range of two hundred feet. It is a lightweight type and is equipped with a small fire caltrop, but it is extremely powerful.

Apart from the emperor, the Minister of War Hou Junji, and Prime Minister Fang, only the two of them knew about this.

Fu Zhong built a 3,000-stone warship at the Guangzhou Port Shipyard. This 2,000-stone warship is now qualified to be used as an escort ship.

The warship escorted the group south. The sky was blue and the sea was blue, the sky and the sea were one color. Looking out, it was impossible to distinguish between the sky and the water.

The soldiers adjusted the mast and sails according to the wind direction to speed up the process. The princes and princesses were stunned.

The sea was boundless and the waves were shimmering. The huge warships in the harbor now looked as small as toy boats.

After drifting on the sea for two or three days, we were only two hundred miles away from Quanzhou Port.

The naval commander looked up at the sky, his expression suddenly changing. "Oh no! There's a hurricane! Quick, pull up the sails!"

So the soldiers who were originally leisurely immediately lowered the sails and slowed down, adjusted the direction, moved closer to the main ship, formed an encirclement, and prepared to resist the hurricane.

The princes were all confused. Why were they so panicked when the weather was fine?

Su Ying pointed to a black line on the horizon. It was not clear at first, but it became clearer after a while, and then became thicker. Wherever it passed, it became dark, and the water waves rolled up and rushed straight into the sky.

The princes and princesses were panicked and wanted to get into the warehouse quickly to avoid being swept away by the hurricane.

Not long after entering the cabin, the waves surged and the boat swayed violently from side to side and up and down, making it impossible for people to stand or sit steadily.

"Ah!" The princesses screamed in fear and their faces turned pale.

"Don't be afraid! Tie it up with a belt in the cabin." Su Ying threw out the cloth belt.

With the help of palace servants, the princesses were tied up in the cabin and swung back and forth, holding on to the fixed objects with their hands.

"Woo!" There was a strange cry, and the bright sky suddenly darkened.

"Crash!" Huge waves came crashing down on the boat, sending seawater pouring into the cabin.

"Ah! Help!" The princes and princesses screamed.

"Don't be afraid, Your Highnesses. The hurricane will pass soon!" the naval commander shouted outside the cabin.

Su Ying was too thin and was tossed around, her body bruised and painful.

I felt like a hand was holding me tightly. I couldn't see who it was in the dark, but I instinctively thought it was Li Chengqian.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince," Su Ying shouted.

"Hmm!" Li Chengqian was frightened by such a strong wind and waves.

Catching Su Ying made me feel much more at ease.

"Woo!" The hurricane rolled up the water column, lifting the small frigates high up and then bringing them down.

"Bang!" The hatch was opened and seawater poured in.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince! Where are you?" Hegan Chengji shouted.

"I'm here!" Li Chengqian replied.

"Bang!" Su Ying and Li Chengqian were thrown to the ground.

"Your Highness, I am here to protect you!" Hegan Chengji shouted loudly, crawling towards Li Chengqian.

The boat was lifted high up and the bow slammed down hard.

The huge impact force caused Su Ying and Li Chengqian to let go of each other, and the cloth belt on Su Ying's body somehow came undone.

Su Ying was thrown out of the cabin by a huge force and collided with Hegan Chengji who was shaking and falling.

Su Ying grabbed Hegan Chengji and fell into the sea together as the sea water receded.

"Gurgle!" The nasal cavity was instantly filled with sea water. The person who was holding his breath couldn't help but breathe through his mouth, and then big gulps of sea water poured into his stomach.

"Cough cough cough!" Su Ying coughed for a second or two after the waves threw her out of the sea.

Before he could catch his breath, he was thrown into the sea by the waves again.

"Gurgle gurgle!" Su Ying struggled in the water, trying to float to the surface, but the pressure on the sea surface was too great and she couldn't float up at all.

I couldn't breathe through my mouth and nose, so I kept drinking water and holding my breath.

"Doctor, come and take a look, what's wrong with my daughter?" The mother's panicked voice rang in my ears.

"Yingying, what's wrong with you? Don't scare mom! Woohoo! Doctor, come quickly!"

Finally, a white light flashed and Su Ying surfaced.

"Cough cough cough! Cough cough cough!" Su Ying coughed hard, trying to cough out the water in her lungs, gasping for breath.

"Yingying, are you awake? Are you really awake?" Mom patted Su Ying's back excitedly.

"Yingying" isn't this the nickname my mother called me?

Su Ying looked up in surprise. It was really her mother. She had a head full of white hair and looked much older.

"Mom," Su Ying said in a hoarse voice, looking around in disbelief.

The white walls, the adjustable bed, and the hospital gown all told her that this was a hospital.

"That's great, Yingying, you finally woke up!" Mom cried with joy.

"Su Yichen, if you ask me, you should have given up on this girl long ago. But you guys have spent all your savings and sold the house! She is a living dead!" An old, sharp and harsh voice scolded outside the door.

"Mom, Yingying will wake up!" Su Yichen's tired voice was firm.

"Wake up! That's a money-loser. It's a waste of so much money. That's the money for my eldest grandson to get married!" the old woman screamed.

"I saved my daughter and spent my own money. How did it delay Su Ke's marriage?" Su Yichen was speechless.

"Why isn't your money Su Ke's?" the old lady said angrily.

"Okay, Mom, stop making trouble. Don't disturb Yingying!" Su Yichen whispered when he reached the door of the ward.

"Hmph, she's just a money-loser, and you treat her like a treasure!" The old lady pushed the door open and cursed.

"Gah!" The old lady's eyes widened. "Oh my god, is he pretending to be dead?"

Su Ying leaned against the head of the bed, looking at the old lady quietly, her eyes sharp and filled with an inexplicable sense of oppression.

"Yingying, are you awake?" Su Yichen walked forward excitedly, grabbed his daughter's hand, and looked her up and down.

"Dad!" Su Ying looked at her elderly parents and felt a lump in her throat. "I'm sorry to have caused you so much trouble!"

"Good boy, no matter whether it's a trouble or not, we are your parents! I'm glad you wake up! I'm glad!" Su Yichen said happily.

"Yes! It's good that he woke up!" The family of three cried with joy.

"Hmph! You have such a tough life!" The old lady looked at the annoying family of three and walked away cursing.

The next day, Su Ying was discharged from the hospital. She looked at the people coming and going on the street. She was in a trance and could not tell whether it was a long dream of a female official in the Tang Dynasty or a real time travel.
