Chapter 1531 Seize the opportunity
If there are any people in general professions who are good at holding their breath, fishermen who often deal with water are undoubtedly the first, followed by hunters.

Most hunters have to travel through mountains and rivers. Not only do their bodies have a long breath, but they also have to hold their breath during hunting to prevent disturbing the herd. It is not surprising that there are hunters who are good at holding their breath.

"The king needs someone who can hold his breath for a quarter of an hour!"

An old fisherman who can hold his breath for three to five minutes can catch a handful, but any longer and the time will be extremely demanding.

As soon as the standard from the Huainan King's mouth came out, the four of them were silent for a moment.

Everyone can hold their breath for a long time, but not to this extent.

Even the most talented people who are proficient in water properties have rolled up their sleeves to work.

Wang Deli opened his mouth, and after calculating for a moment, he realized that he was likely to turn into a corpse.

Zhang Changgong and Yourong also looked at each other and felt that King Huainan was too demanding.

"I'll try!"

Finally, Zhang Changgong stood up.

"If you don't have the ability, don't be brave, otherwise you will lose your life and the treasure." King Huainan said: "If you have the ability to hold it in for a quarter of an hour, go ahead and hold it in the bucket for a quarter of an hour!"

King Huainan pointed at Zhang Xuezhou who was holding his breath.

The death of one or two people is a trivial matter, but the loss of the demon treasure is something that requires wrangling.

When Li Shangfu, who was guarding Purple Mountain, whispered something in his ear, King Huainan couldn't help but glance at Zhang Changgong and motioned to him to dip his head into the water first to avoid losing another 'human medicine'.

"no problem!"

Zhang Changgong took a deep breath, and when a sergeant came over with a bucket, he also buried his head in the bucket.

"Is there anything else you want to try?"

King Huainan asked the other three people, which made everyone shake their heads. Even the Rong family stopped talking.

I don’t know what to do yet, but the threshold of holding my breath is enough to stop most people.

"King Huainan, don't you say you have gathered all the talents from all over the world here, but why can't you find anyone who can hold your breath?" King Jiangdu complained.

"If you can hold your temper, I'll send someone back to Shouchun City to greet you, and I'll take care of bringing you a hundred people who are good at water-based skills," King Huainan said.

"Come on, after all this time and recruiting people, maybe two days have passed," King Jiangdu said dissatisfied.

"It's good that I can find someone on this construction site." King Huainan said helplessly: "At least there is someone who dares to try!"

"Father, I can't hold my breath. I haven't reached the level of supernatural power yet!"

"Qian'er, go over there to see if there's anything delicious to eat, and find some food for your father to eat!"

After Prince Liu Qian recommended himself again, he was sent by the King of Huainan to find ingredients.

"Come here, it's almost time, pull out Dongfang Shuo's head!"

After all the wrangling in the camp, it was almost time for Zhang Xuezhou to soak in the water.

"reward!"

Seeing that Zhang Xuezhou was fine, King Huainan kept his promise and asked someone to hand over ten pieces of money.

"This is a lot of gold. Do you want me to arrange for someone to take it to the city for you?"

One piece of money weighs several kilograms, while ten pieces of money weighs dozens of kilograms.

Seeing Zhang Xuezhou's embarrassed expression, Tian You couldn't help but ask a thoughtful question.

"I am sick and have no one to take care of me. I'm afraid I won't be able to keep this money after it is returned to the city." Zhang Xuezhou cupped his hands and said, "I hope the king can give me two servants!"

"You know how to speak!"

The King of Huainan didn't expect that he would have to hire someone to help him out after he rewarded him with tens of thousands of gold.

But it's not a big deal.

As long as the Shui Mansion is worth the money, the King of Huainan will be happy to give Zhang Xuezhou a dozen beautiful women, let alone a few servants.

Moreover, Zhang Xuezhou still has official documents from the court. If the itinerary requires cooperation from various places, the King of Huainan really needs to help within his ability.

"I have agreed to do this, but it will have to wait until the water palace is dug out," King Huainan said after thinking.

"Then can I borrow one or two people to use first?" Zhang Xuezhou said: "Just the people who came here just now can help, preferably a woman. Women are more careful and will not fall behind when it comes to managing money!"

Zhang Xuezhou spoke very quickly. At this time, he could still see the backs of Rong and others leaving, and he quickly chatted with Huainan Wang Qiu. "That's fine!"

King Huainan nodded in agreement.

He waved his hand and asked the sergeant to call him back.

"Whoever is strong, careful, and good at calculation will follow you for a while," King Huainan said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhang Xuezhou bowed and thanked the aisle.

He bowed and lowered his head very low, not wanting to look directly at Mr. You Rong, lest he cause anything to happen.

"Your Majesty, this demon treasure sinks very slowly into the body. It takes a quarter of an hour to sink from the river surface into the water house. Now that it has dug eight feet, the time it takes to get in can be saved in half!"

Seeing Zhang Changgong's head start to shake while soaking in the bucket, Zhang Xuezhou knew that the other party had some air leakage and could not hold on for long.

He couldn't help but make calculations and mentioned the relevant time to King Huainan.

"Father, son and minister..."

"Qian'er, these pig's trotters are a little cold. Father wants to eat them hot. Please go and heat them up for me!"

Prince Liu Qian came back after looking for ingredients and recommended himself again, but was sent out again.

But Liu Qian's back and forth self-recommendation made King Huainan speed up a little.

He glanced at Zhang Changgong, who was holding his breath and caught in the countdown, and asked him to fish out the other person's head.

"Has it been a quarter of an hour?" Zhang Changgong said in a daze.

"He has been holding his breath for one hundred and forty times. He has been holding his breath for a lot longer than you. He is a little confused at this time. Can he enter the Water Mansion?" King Huainan asked.

"Absolutely no problem," Zhang Xuezhou said, "I won't make fun of my treasure. This treasure will really leak into the soil, and it will not be easy to find it again!"

"Forget it, let's try it!"

King Huainan nodded and indicated that Zhang Changgong could hold the treasure to verify the affairs of Shuifu.

As long as Zhang Changgong went in to verify and came out safely, Prince Liu Qian would have no problem getting in and out, and King Jiangdu would most likely be able to hold his own.

He waved his hand, and Li Shang, who was good at refining elixirs and medicines, strode forward. After massaging Zhang Changgong several times, Zhang Changgong was completely awake.

Li Shang asked Zhang Changgong related matters, which made Zhang Changgong's expression change as he held a feather.

He didn't understand how he could use a feather to get into the rocky soil at the bottom of the river, but he did understand how to tie a stone to his body and sink him into the water.

"Your Majesty, the common people are willing to fight to the death, and we hope to be freed!"

Zhang Changgong's face turned pale, but in just a few seconds he looked like a warrior rushing towards death.

Rather than being forced to die of old age, he is indeed willing to fight to the death. This is something that several neighbors mentioned just now when they recommended him.

"May!"

King Huainan glanced at Zhang Changgong, and then at the Yourong family and others who were holding thousands of gold in their hands.

When his eyes fell on Prince Liu Qian, who was hurriedly leaving to heat the pig's trotters, he quickly agreed to Zhang Changgong's request.

Suddenly everyone left the camp by the Huaihe River.

After walking more than 400 meters, we reached the embankment of the Huaihe River.

Compared with the previous silt tidal flats, sand and gravel have accumulated here to form large embankments, as if they were formed by floods.

The Huaihe River has also changed its course in this area. The water flow above the river layer has been changed, and there is no less water seeping below the river bottom.

Many people dug eight feet deep, and the water was eight feet deep. The place has turned into a deep pool.

When work starts during the day, people who are good at water magic need to divert water out, and then use hundreds of people to continuously scoop water to ensure that the water below will not affect the excavation and construction. It also needs to continue to dig outward to ensure that more people can participate in this area. Digging.

At this time, people were constantly scooping water at the construction site, and some were pulling out piles of excavated sand and gravel from the river bottom through ropes.

Although there was a tacit understanding of cooperation, the depth of the water was enough for a person, making it extremely difficult for the migrant workers working underneath.

"Take him there!"

King Huainan pointed to Zhang Changgong, who had more than twenty kilograms of stones tied to his body.

When the Peacock King's demon feather that the other party was holding tightly fell down, the two sergeants immediately pushed the other party under the water at nearly human height.
