Your Majesty, the princess is fleeing famine with her child!

Chapter 288: Change of course to Devil's Island

Yun Fuling nodded slightly to Gao Tianyuan and said, "Captain Gao, we need to change our course to Devil's Island."

"No one on the ship can match your ability to identify directions at sea, so I called you over here to listen together."

"You are going to Devil's Island!" Gao Tianyuan's face changed instantly and he looked hesitant.

Seeing this, Yun Fuling asked, "Do you know Devil's Island?"

Gao Tianyuan nodded and told everything he knew.

"Devil's Island is a forbidden place on the sea. No sea merchants dare to approach it."

"I heard that there is not only a group of vicious pirates lurking on Devil's Island, but there are also turbulent ocean currents and piranhas nearby, which is extremely dangerous."

“No one dares to go there, and I haven’t been there either.”

"So I only know the approximate direction of Devil's Island, because every time I go out to sea, I have to avoid that direction."

Gao Tianyuan said this, glanced at Yun Fuling, and confirmed: "Mr. Hang, are you sure you really want to go to Devil's Island?"

Yun Fuling nodded, "I have a reason to go!"

Gao Tianyuan moved his lips, as if trying to persuade Yun Fuling.

But in the end, not a single word of dissuasion was uttered.

The order Gao Tianyuan received from Wen Zhiheng was to follow Yun Fuling's instructions in everything.

And ensure the safety of Yun Fuling.

Now that Yun Fuling is going to Devil's Island, even though Gao Tianyuan does not agree with Yun Fuling going to such a dangerous place, he has no choice but to obey.

Yun Fuling had already made a decision in her heart.

Fang Yu then told the specific location of Devil's Island.

Gao Tianyuan was very familiar with this sea area, so after hearing Fang Yu's description, he quickly locked on the specific location.

Gao Tianyuan took the helm for the rest of the voyage and headed towards Devil's Island.

And at this time on Devil's Island.

A group of laborers are working on the island.

The originally barren island was reclaimed into fields, but what was planted in the fields was not crops such as sorghum and wheat, but a kind of extremely colorful flower.

Looking around, the entire island is almost covered with these gorgeous flowers, as if you are in a sea of ​​flowers.

The laborers captured on Devil's Island were divided into several groups to work.

Some people cultivate fields and plant flowers.

When the extremely beautiful flowers bear fruit, someone will cut the fruit open and use a pottery jar to collect the white juice that flows out of the fruit.

After the slurry is obtained, the pottery jar containing the slurry is sent to a workshop in the center of the island.

There, someone will also process the slurry.

Xiao Jingyi was mixed in with this group of laborers at this time.

His current job is to reclaim wasteland and plant flowers.

People who first arrive on the island will be assigned planting work first.

After they have become familiar with the work for a period of time, and then depending on their performance, they will be assigned the work of cutting slurry and working in the workshop.

Zuo Yan was not far from Xiao Jingyi, and was digging the ground with a hoe.

Their eyes met briefly, and although they did not speak, a tacit understanding had already emerged between them.

At that time, Xiao Jingyi and Zuo Yan chased the Japanese to Xiaoyue Bay and happened to run into the Wen family carrying goods onto the Japanese ship.

Xiao Jingyi and Zuo Yan knocked out two civilians, changed into their clothes, and blended in.

They successfully got on board the ship and found that the Wen family had loaded food, cloth, tea and other items onto the ship.

These things were loaded onto ships in Xiaoyue Bay and sold to overseas countries through the hands of the Japanese.

None of these items passed the inspection of the Maritime Administration, and no customs duties were paid.

It's smuggling for sure!

After Xiao Jingyi and Zuo Yan discussed it, they decided to stay on the ship and take the opportunity to investigate the Japanese man's background.

Originally, the two were worried about being discovered on the way.

But when the boat started, they found that the laborers who had been moving goods with them had also boarded the boat.

After asking around, he found out that there were not enough people on the ship, so the laborers came on board to help, and they would be rewarded a considerable amount of money afterwards.

At that time, Xiao Jingyi did not notice anything wrong. Instead, he was secretly relieved that they could stay on the ship openly without having to worry about being discovered and hiding.

Who knew that after five days of sailing, they were sent to Devil's Island and began a life of hard labor.

Only then did Xiao Jingyi realize that all those laborers had been tricked into boarding the ship in order to be sent to the Devil's Island to do hard labor.

And the high remunerations promised before were just words to deceive them.

Most of the hard laborers on Devil's Island were robbed or tricked into being sent here.

The people on the island were holding sharp weapons and looked ferocious.

However, those people who were robbed and deceived were unarmed.

The unarmed civilians had no chance of winning against the well-trained, armored and powerful soldiers.

Once the people who were robbed and tricked into coming to the island arrived here, they could do nothing but cry out to heaven and earth.

If you want to survive, you have to be obedient and do what you are told.

Xiao Jingyi and Zuo Yan were different from the common people.

Originally, it would have been easy for Xiao Jingyi and Zuo Yan to escape from this island, but on the day they arrived on the island, Xiao Jingyi discovered that the island was full of brightly colored flowers, which looked very much like the poppies that Yun Fuling had once drawn for him.

He had heard Yun Fuling say that the golden paste was extracted from a flower called poppy.

If he was not mistaken, the crops grown on this Devil's Island were all poppies, so he had come to the right place this time!

Xiao Jingyi immediately decided to stay and investigate this devil's island to uncover all the evildoers behind it!

So in the past few days, Xiao Jingyi and Zuo Yan pretended to be laborers. On the surface, they worked honestly and did not dare to resist at all, but they secretly searched the entire island.

Strive to have a clear understanding of the layout of the island, troop deployment and other situations.

After Xiao Jingyi and Zuo Yan looked at each other briefly, they each buried their heads in their work, while quietly observing the surrounding environment and keeping everything in mind.

At this moment, the sound of a whip suddenly came from the air, making a sound of breaking through the air, and then hit an old man behind Xiao Jingyi heavily.

The old man couldn't bear the beating, and after letting out a cry of pain, he fell to the ground.

Unexpectedly, the supervisor with the whip not only did not stop, but whipped the old man several more times.

"Tell you to be lazy!"

"What are you dithering about?"

The old man fell to the ground and curled up, crying out in pain.

The other people around were either cowering in fear or showing numbness on their faces. A few even had indignation in their eyes, but they were afraid of the supervisor's force and dared not speak out.

Since arriving at Devil's Island, these supervisors would whip us if we slacked off at work.

Over time, many people gradually become numb or fearful.

Xiao Jingyi couldn't bear to see this and immediately grabbed the supervisor's wrist.

The supervisor was suddenly restrained by someone and subconsciously looked towards Xiao Jingyi.
