Chapter 501 Emergency Situation
"Thank you, Master."

The other two sailors were so surprised that they quickly handed it over.

After saying that, I couldn't wait to call someone, because I was so excited that I could only run at a trot.

The Minister of Agriculture looked at the boat boss and shouted, "Ship boss, our young master is thinking about your difficulty in sailing, why don't you thank him quickly?"

"I would like to thank the adults here."

The ship boss finally recovered from the shock and thanked him repeatedly.

When Ning Muqing saw such a scene, the expression on her face almost stopped. She didn't expect that the fourth prince was like what was written in the book: "Foolish people have too much money."

But Ning Muqing thought about it and thought it was reasonable.

Chu Lixuan also did something like giving a large sum of money to the people.

They are all descendants of the royal family. They have lived in the royal family since they were young. They have fine clothes and fine food and do not understand what kind of life the common people live.

Suddenly exposed to the sadness of ordinary people struggling to survive, they felt somewhat emotional.

However, these one hundred and several hundred taels of silver are indeed nothing to the fourth prince. The Zuo family has so many shops and shops, and their daily income is more than a few hundred taels.

Just give it.

It’s nothing.

It is more useful to give this money to the people who are struggling to make a living than to use it for food, drink and fun.

The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish.

The sailors were all aware of the danger of going into the water at this time, but because of the reward of one hundred taels, the sailors on the ship were restless and scrambled to join.

"One hundred taels, this money is enough for me to have no worries for the rest of my life!"

"As expected of a gentleman from the capital, he is generous in his actions."

"If I have this money, I won't be able to use up the money to marry my son and support me in my old age."

"My daughter-in-law and I got married, but we haven't bought any decent jewelry. With these one hundred taels, I will definitely buy it for her as soon as possible."

The fishermen on the boat scrambled excitedly, their faces flushed.

There are more than thirty sailors on the big ship. Anyone who knows how to swim has signed up. No one is willing to miss such a good opportunity to make money.

The boss of the ship knew that the Fourth Prince was a taken advantage of, but he did not really regard him as a taken advantage of him. Even though so many people signed up, he only carefully selected the seven with the best water quality, and let the Fourth Prince screen out two more by himself.

The fourth prince didn't care about the money and waved his hand, "There's no need to sift. All seven of them will go in. There is strength in numbers."

Before the captain of the ship could say anything, these seven people almost jumped into the sky with excitement, patting their chests and saying that they must do their job clearly.

Ning Muqing looked to the side and saw the other people who had not been chosen, their back teeth almost shattered, and her eyes were full of envy.

Some people are annoyed that they have poor water quality, while others are envious that they can get so much money.

But no one questions the fairness of this selection.

It can be seen that the boss of the ship did not operate in secret. These people are indeed the best on the ship.

"Don't force it, safety comes first. Anyway, I have a lot of money, so I won't miss you."

The fourth prince looked at the excitement of these sailors and felt mixed emotions in his heart. He was afraid that they would risk their lives in order to complete the mission, so he still warned them.

Then the fourth prince waved his hand and said to the boatman, "You can arrange the rest. I don't understand what's going on on your boat."

"Don't worry, young master, I'll leave the rest to the younger one."

The ship boss smiled and took a few sailors down to prepare.

The preparation work was also very simple. The sailors took off their cumbersome clothes and tied up their hair. Everyone was tied with a hemp rope as thick as their wrist.

If there is any danger, people on the boat can pull people out at any time.

Even with all the protective measures in place, going into the water at night is still dangerous.

These sailors know how to swim, but not martial arts. If they encounter water thieves, they have no ability to protect themselves.

The fourth prince, Ning Muqing, Chu Lixuan and others all walked to the side of the boat to watch what was going on. The boss of the boat lit all the torches on the boat and inserted them around the hull to illuminate the water.

"Making money is important, but your lives are more valuable. If you touch the iron chain, notify the people on the boat immediately. Don't risk drilling into the cracks of the rocks. It will be troublesome if the rope breaks or gets entangled in water plants."

The boss of the ship continued to give some serious instructions.

After the sailors who entered the water agreed, several people got ready and jumped in different directions.

With a few "pops", the seven people disappeared on the water.

The fourth prince had an uneasy premonition. He stood on the deck, looked at the turbulent river, and prayed, "I hope they can all come back safely and nothing will happen to them."

"Don't worry, the captain knows everything. The person he selected must be good at water. He just entered the river to feel the situation. Nothing will happen."

The Minister of Agriculture comforted him.

The fourth prince nodded and said, "I hope so."

Ning Muqing and Chu Lixuan were dressed in guard uniforms and stood behind the fourth prince, looking at the river.

The time a person can dive underwater is generally only two or three minutes. Unless he undergoes some special training or has special physical conditions, he can dive for longer. However, a person cannot breathe underwater, so it only takes about ten minutes at most before he reaches the surface. Breathe. besides.

There are also people who practice martial arts, their lung capacity is greater, their breathing is shallower, and they can last longer than ordinary people, and the sharks on the sea can breathe underwater.

Mermaids are born to live by the sea, so it goes without saying that they are proficient in water skills.

Ordinary people need to be more careful at the bottom of the river and must not choke in the water, otherwise even the most powerful people will suffocate.

In the blink of an eye, half a stick of incense passed, and no one was seen on the river. None of the seven sailors who had jumped came up.

The fourth prince was a little nervous. He kept looking back and forth on the river. After waiting for a few more minutes, he couldn't help but ask, "Why haven't they come up yet?"

The words just fell.

"Crash!"

There was a sound of water coming from the river not far away, and someone emerged from the water.

Then there were a few more 'crash' sounds, and the other sailors came up and shouted, "Boss, there are still a lot of chains ahead."

"How many are there in total?"

The ship boss shouted very loudly.

"I can't even count them, there are too many!"

The sailor was soaking in the water, and as the water swayed back and forth, he raised his hand with difficulty and said, "I just caught one!"

"I'm afraid this is aimed at us." The boss of the ship frowned and shouted loudly, "You all come up first, and we will discuss countermeasures after we get on the ship."

Several sailors were just about to swim to the side of the ship.

Chu Lixuan frowned and suddenly said, "There are two people missing."

Everyone/was shocked.

The boss of the boat immediately looked around the water. After counting the number of people, his face suddenly sank and he shouted to the sailors who surfaced, "Where are Xiaojiang and Xiaoyu?"

"Yes, why are there two people missing? I didn't see Xiao Jiang and Xiao Yu!"

Several sailors were stunned and looked around each other.

"They were still there when we first entered the water. It's been so long, but I still haven't seen them."

A sailor looked at his companion, "Didn't he enter the water next to you just now? Did you see him when he got underwater later?"

"There is no light under the water at night, and I haven't seen anyone since I entered the water." The companion shook his head.

"This kid has always been radical. Could it be that he swam to the front just to get credit?"

Several sailors were talking among themselves.

The wind and waves on the river were very strong, and the bottom of the boat was being swayed layer by layer, making a loud sound of water.

The captain of the boat saw them gathering together, but he didn't come up for a long time, and couldn't hear what they were saying.

He said anxiously, "You guys, please get on the boat first. Come here quickly."

"What about Xiaojiang and Xiaoyu? We won't wait..." a sailor shouted loudly.

But before he finished speaking, he suddenly sank to the bottom of the water, and then the whole person disappeared.

"Lao He?!"

The sailors around him were stunned for a moment and looked around instinctively.

"Old He, what are you talking about? Come out quickly."

"What are the people doing?"

The wind and waves on the river were turbulent, and one person disappeared inexplicably. Only four of the original five sailors were left.

The fourth prince and others were shocked when they saw this scene.

The Minister of Agriculture said loudly, "What happened? Where is the person who just spoke?"

"Master, did you see that person just now? Why did he suddenly disappear?"

Someone / shouted.

Chu Lixuan grabbed the railing, his eyes burning like a torch, "It didn't just disappear suddenly, it just sank to the bottom of the water."

"Didn't I tell you to come up first? Why are you still sinking to the bottom of the water? It's scary!" The Minister of Agriculture had not yet realized what happened.

The boss of the boat had already realized something was wrong and rushed to the railing and shouted, "Get on the boat quickly, there is something wrong in the water! Hurry!"

The roar was blown by the wind on the river, leaving only a bit of futility.

The other four people, who had not yet realized the danger, suddenly realized what was happening when they heard the boat boss's words, and swam quickly towards the side of the boat.

Before he had swam a few meters away, a sailor suddenly shouted in horror, "In the water! There is something in the water grabbing me..."

Before he finished speaking, he sank suddenly as if being sucked into the water by something.
