The prince is very cruel

And here, there are actually a large number of boxes. Although they have been corroded by river water for many years and are already broken and dull, it is obvious that they are large boxes.

Guan Ning was excited, but not impulsive. The water pressure here was quite strong, and he had been in the water for a long time, so he had to go up to breathe.

He pulled Hua Wuque with him and slowly floated to the surface, with only his nose and mouth exposed above the water. He took a deep breath.

His body turned upside down and his legs swam down like a dragon.

While diving, Guan Ning measured the depth of the riverbed by feeling. When he reached about nine meters, the river was considered quite deep. When he reached the big pit, it was about eleven or twelve meters!

This place was born to hide treasures. With a height difference of nearly three meters, it is impossible for normal water flow to carry away 200,000 taels of gold.

He and Hua Wuque exchanged a glance, and together they managed to force open a box at the bottom of the riverbed, which was under great pressure.

Because the box had been in disrepair for a long time, it opened easily. In an instant, bubbles rose from the riverbed, and beams of golden light pierced through the darkness of the riverbed.

Countless gold bars lay there quietly!

Hua Wuque's eyes were filled with shock. Even for him, it was the first time he had seen it. He had only heard about it before.

Then, the second box, the third box...all of them were gold without exception!

Considering the number of boxes here, two hundred thousand taels is definitely not an exaggeration!

Guan Ning's heart was moved. At this moment, his eyes flashed and he discovered something. He used his hands to dig away the silt and dust on the riverbed and grabbed a handful of jewels!

The pearl was covered in dust, but when it was gently lifted from the water, it instantly became dazzling.

Guan Ning was shocked. Oh my god, there must be more than just gold sunk here. There are also other jade artifacts and other things as well. The value must be even higher!

what is this?

He made another discovery and grabbed something from the bottom of the river. It was extremely heavy and he had to use all his strength to pull it out of the mud on the riverbed!

It turned out to be an iron chain that was more than 20 meters long and as thick as a baby's arm. The chain passed through all the boxes and was also covered with densely packed weights!

Hua Wuque was shocked, he didn't even know about this!

Guan Ning's brows were subconsciously twisted into a "川" shape.

This connection is probably not only to prevent the gold from being washed away, but also to directly isolate the possibility of the gold being stolen.

Who could have quietly salvaged two hundred thousand taels of gold and such a heavy chain in one go? Perhaps it was possible in later generations with high technology, but it was absolutely impossible in ancient times!

If they use human power to salvage the fish without the Hua family's knowledge, that would be like the Queen Mother descending to earth, a fairy tale!

Guan Ning at the bottom of the riverbed was even a little desperate. What should he do?

After a moment's hesitation, breathing became increasingly difficult, and Guan Ning decisively chose to retreat first. The riverbed was not a place to think of a solution.

He gave Hua Wuque a look and then floated up.

After taking another breath, Guan Ning did not dive again, but took a look at the situation in this section of the river, including the terrain, water flow, and the boats floating on the river.

Only after collecting all the information did he return the same way.

The whole operation was extremely thrilling, and they were on the line between life and death at any moment, but the silence on both sides of the river proved that no one had noticed.

But Lou Xinyue, who was hiding on the shore, could not wait any longer. The time had passed. Just when she was about to go into the water, suddenly!

Wow!

Ripples appeared on the surface of the river, and two heads emerged.

"Guan Ning!" Lou Xinyue exclaimed.

"Huh!" Guan Ning took a deep breath, his lung capacity had reached its limit.

"Give me a hand."

Lou Xinyue reached out and pulled Guan Ning up.

Wow!

There was a lot of noise when the water came out, but fortunately there was no one on the shore at the moment.

"How is it? Are you okay?" Lou Xinyue asked, helping him take off the stolen goods.
