Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 692 Shipwreck
the river is long and tempestuous, it was like a hero.

The river was surging and the surface of the river was wide open. Two large ships set sail and headed for the Yangzhou Ferry on the opposite bank.

Li Yu, Da Zhouhou and others stood on the bow plywood, looking at Jiaoshan and Beigushan that kept going away, feeling sad in their hearts.

"It's hard to say goodbye when we meet each other. This farewell, I don't know if there will be a day to come back."

After Li Yu finished speaking, his eyes were moist, and the concubines behind him wiped away their tears.

"Yes, my husband, as long as we are alive, we will always have a chance to come back." The concubine Huang Baoyi said comfortingly.

"I hope so." Li Yu sighed softly, and looked towards Yangzhou. Once he entered Jiangbei, he was close to Bianjing.

The big ship was moving forward, and when it had just reached half of the Yangtze River, suddenly, there was a violent explosion from the cabin.

The entire hull shook accordingly, and people in the cabin and on board staggered, swayed and fell.

"what happened?"

"What happened?"

Many descendants of the royal family of the Li family, concubines, and maidservants exclaimed again and again, not knowing what happened.

At this time, the bottom of the cabin was exploded by gunpowder, tung oil cans, etc.

Such an explosion sounded like thunder, but it scared the people of the Li clan on the boat enough. Afterwards, a big hole was opened in the bottom of the boat, and the water poured into the river.

The whole ship suddenly began to sink.

"It's not good, there was an accident in the cabin, something exploded, the cabin was flooded, and the boat was about to sink."

"Jump off the boat!"

"Help me—"

The members of the Li clan were all panicked, calling for help back and forth on the boat.

Not far away, Yang Tiao saw this situation, his face changed drastically, worried that something would happen to Li Yu and others, and immediately ordered to let his big ship go to save people.

"Hurry up, go and save people."

As soon as Yang Shou's order was issued, the ship he was on also exploded.

"boom!"

Oil drums and gunpowder cans at the bottom of the cabin were also ignited and exploded.

At this time, Yang Shou realized that the matter was not that simple, someone targeted the Li clan and their escort team.

Who is it aimed at?
Yang Shou couldn't figure it out, would someone take the opportunity to leave Li Yu and the others, or would they murder them?

Maybe Li Yu and others wanted Jin Chan to escape and staged this scene on purpose.

This thought in Yang Shou's mind was even stronger, otherwise, who would have facilitated this behind the scenes?
At this time, the two large ships were sinking rapidly, and the river water poured into the ships, and they had already begun to sink halfway on the river surface.

Someone saw that the ship was hopeless, and immediately jumped into the river.

"Go down quickly, the suction force of the sinking ship is too strong, if you don't jump off the ship, it is easy to be brought into the vortex by the ship's hull."

Deng Wangli started shouting from Yi.

"The water is too fast, this is the water of the Yangtze River!"

"Remove some wood, and you can float people."

Someone is directing, but it is very chaotic.

Li Yu staggered, hugged the railing, and panicked.

"How is this going?"

"Sir, be careful." Huang Baoyi cried.

Suddenly, a concubine Jiang fell directly into the river, uttered a scream, and fell into the river with a plop.

"Concubine Jiang!!"

Li Yu cried and shouted, reaching out to grab it, but couldn't catch it.

"Master—"

Another shout sounded, and another concubine, Qingnu, was also shaken out and fell from the boat into the river.

"Save people! Save people!"

Li Yu yelled and became very helpless. He was not good at water, and was even afraid of water. He hugged the railing tightly and cried loudly.

However, there are not many guards on the ship now, only some guarding soldiers of the Song Army.

They are not the guards of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and they cannot obey the orders of a subjugated king. What's more, the hull of the ship is falling rapidly. If they don't jump off the ship, they will be easily taken into the vortex by the leaking ship, and it is even more difficult to escape.

"Puff! Puff!"

Some Song Army soldiers started to jump ship, no longer caring about others.

Empress Dowager Zhong's face changed greatly with fright, she hid in the cabin, grabbed the chair tightly, and cried, "Who will save us, God, what happened to my Li family?"

"Mother's queen!" Princess Daning and Yongjia went to help their mother's queen.

Empress Dowager Zhong hugged her daughter together, her face turned pale, she cried and shouted, waiting to sink with the ship.

The big ship is still sinking, some people have already jumped off the ship ahead of time, some people don't know water, so they can only sit and wait to die, waiting to drown.

Zhou Ehuang hugged his five-year-old son Li Zhongxuan, tears streaming down his face. Although he was afraid, he was still comforting his son.

"Queen, the child is afraid!"

Zhou Ehuang comforted his son: "Xuan'er, don't be afraid, mother can drink water, and she will definitely protect you."

At this time, mother's love broke out, Zhou Ehuang was determined to save his son, he didn't care about other people, and even risked his own life.

At this moment, more than 150 members of the Li clan, together with the [-] soldiers of the Song army accompanying them, were running for their lives in panic.

"Pfft!"

The hull finally sank into the river.

Li Yu struggled constantly, but the river water poured into his mouth and into his nasal cavity, making it difficult for him to breathe.

He felt that he drank a lot of water and was about to suffocate. At this time, he seemed to see a boatman swimming towards him.

Is this to save yourself?
Li Yu thought in his heart, if he could save himself, push himself out of the river, and let himself breathe, he could still live.

However, the boatman did not save him, but hugged his body, and then fell into the water.

This person wants to die with himself?
Why is that?
Li Yu couldn't figure out who was going to kill him, blow up the hull, and come over to die with him and sink to the bottom of the river.

He couldn't figure out who was behind the scenes. He thought of Zhao Kuangyin, the emperor of the Song Dynasty. Could it be that he didn't want the Southern Tang royal family to go to Bianjing alive?
If this is the case, then the Great Song Emperor Zhao Kuangyin is really insidious!

He who has subjugated the country, what threat does he need? Why do he want to kill so many people from the Li family to be buried with him.

This scene is so familiar, more than 360 members of Yang Wu's royal family were also ordered by his father Li Jing to exterminate the family and leave no one alive.

Unexpectedly, within ten years, it would be his turn to be a member of the Li family.

It's really a good reincarnation, the heavens spare no one.

Li Yu's breathing is getting harder and harder, and his struggle is getting smaller and smaller. He has accepted this fate.

He seemed to see more and more figures, including the corpses of his mother, Queen Mother Zhong, his younger brothers Li Congshan and Li Congyi, and even his son and concubine floating in the water.

Song Jun at Jinling Ferry, seeing this scene, dispatched many officers and soldiers to rescue people in small boats.

However, the river is fast and wide, and it takes a certain amount of time for a boat to row across, and this time is enough to take away the lives of many people.

More than 150 members of the Li royal family, as well as several trusted ministers, all sank into the river.

When Song Jun's boat arrived in the middle of the river to rescue them, only a very small number of people were still alive, and more than [-]% of them were drowned.
