Chapter 322 The Last Chance for Rescue
When Xiao Jingyi and his party left Jinzhou, they directly displayed the prince's ceremonial guard, and the momentum was magnificent.
This was completely different from the low-key attitude he had shown when he left Jiangzhou and brought Yun Fuling and her son back to Beijing.
There was an endless stream of officials and common people coming to see him off along the way.
During these days, Xiao Jingyi rectified the Jinzhou officialdom, punished corrupt officials, and spoke up for the people.
Yun Fuling practices medicine to save lives, and when she encounters patients from poor families, she will waive their medical expenses.
People naturally have a scale in their hearts.
Xiao Jingyi and Yun Fuling are kind-hearted people, so the people naturally remember their kindness in their hearts.
In the crowded crowd, a tall, thin, dark man stretched his neck and looked in the direction of Xiao Jingyi's carriage.
The young man beside him stood on tiptoe, tugged at his sleeve and asked, "Uncle Li, have you seen the prince and princess?"
This thin, dark man and young boy were none other than Uncle Li and Fang Yu, whom Xiao Jingyi and Yun Fuling had rescued from Devil Island.
If Xiao Jingyi was here at this moment, he would definitely recognize that in addition to Uncle Li and Fang Yu, there are many familiar faces around, all of whom were people who were deceived and abducted to Devil Island.
After these people were rescued by Xiao Jingyi, Xiao Jingyi allocated an area on the coast of Jinzhou for them to settle down.
Yun Fuling also gave Fang Yu a sum of money, land and shops as promised, which was enough for him to live a comfortable life.
However, Yun Fuling gave these things in private and told Fang Yu not to publicize it.
After all, money can make people excited, and Fang Yu is still young. If people knew that he had a large sum of money, he would inevitably be plotted against.
Yun Fuling thought that they had known each other for a while and that the boy was pleasing to her eyes, so she gave him some advice.
Whether he listened or not was none of her business.
Fang Yu and others were very grateful for the kindness shown to them by Xiao Jingyi and Yun Fuling.
However, as soon as the ship they were on approached Xiaoyue Bay, Xiao Jingyi and Yun Fuling left first.
At first they were very worried, fearing that Xiao Jingyi and Yun Fuling would abandon them at sea and leave them alone.
But on the second day, someone came and said that he was coming on the order of King Yi to take them and settle them down.
The people who came were registered and settled down, and were given farmland and houses, as well as a sum of money to settle down.
If one does not want to settle in Jinzhou and wants to return to his hometown, he can take some travel expenses and a certificate issued by the government, and after returning home, he can go to the local government to settle down in Jinzhou.
The people below did their job perfectly.
When the people who returned from Devil's Island saw that Xiao Jingyi's promises had been fulfilled, they felt grateful and happy.
They always wanted to thank Xiao Jingyi in person, but they never had the chance.
Only Fang Yu was summoned to meet Yun Fuling in private once.
Therefore, when they heard that Xiao Jingyi and Yun Fuling were leaving Jinzhou, everyone came to see them off.
But they were just ordinary people, and even though they had some friendship with Xiao Jingyi on Devil's Island, they couldn't come forward at this moment.
I could only squeeze into the crowd and look around on tiptoe like the rest of the people.
As the carriage representing Prince Yi's Palace approached, the wind blew the curtains, revealing the faces of Prince Yi and his wife in the carriage, and the crowd suddenly became excited.
Uncle Li and others saw Xiao Jingyi and Yun Fuling again, but they couldn't help but wet their eyes.
If Xiao Jingyi and Yun Fuling had not rescued them from Devil's Island, they would probably still be doing hard labor on Devil's Island, living a miserable life of being beaten, scolded and enslaved.
Where could we have the happy life we have today, with fields, houses, and wealth, where we can make a living by farming and fishing?
When Prince Yi's carriage passed by, Li Shu and his companions knelt down and kowtowed, their hearts filled with gratitude that was beyond words.
Xiao Jingyi was sitting in the carriage. He glanced through the window and saw Uncle Li and others in the crowd.
Seeing them with tears in their eyes and kneeling on the ground with expressions of gratitude, and thinking back to Tianquan's previous report that all the civilians on Devil Island had been properly resettled, it seemed that the people below did a very good job indeed.
The corners of Xiao Jingyi's lips curled up slightly, his chest felt hot, and an inexplicable emotion was surging.
The convoy traveled for a day and rested at the post station that night.
After Xiao Jingyi got off the carriage, he deliberately took a look at a prisoner van in the team.
The person sitting in the prison car was none other than Wen Zhao.
The reason why Xiao Jingyi made such a big fuss was to attract Mr. Wen and other members of the Yue Clan to rescue Wen Zhao.
This is their last chance along the way.
If they don't take action, then when Wen Zhao is escorted back to the capital, he will most likely be convicted and executed.
After entering the capital, Mr. Wen and his men wanted to rescue people from the Sky Prison, but that was just wishful thinking.
As for breaking into the execution ground and robbing prisoners during an execution, it is basically asking for death.
There are not only the Five Cities Army and Horse Division in the capital, but also the Imperial Guards and the Yulin Guards. The defense of the capital will only be tighter than that of Jinzhou.
If Mr. Wen and the others had not come to rescue Wen Zhao along the way, they would have had to watch him die.
Xiao Jingyi glanced at Wen Zhao and chuckled, "It's been so long, do you think your people will come to rescue you?"
Wen Zhao curled up in the prison van, with his head down and silent.
His lips moved slightly, but no sound came out.
However, his hands hanging at his sides unconsciously clenched.
After being captured, he initially still held out hope, expecting the Imperial Master to bring people to rescue him.
But as the days passed, none of his people came.
At first, Wen Zhao could convince himself by saying that the guards were too strict and that the Imperial Master and the others would not be able to find a chance to rescue him.
But the longer time went on, the more panicked Wen Zhao became.
He was afraid that he would be abandoned and no one would come to save him.
Wen Zhao couldn't help feeling a sense of near despair.
When Wen Zhao heard Xiao Jingyi's words, his heart ached.
From the time he was captured until now, their people were like dead. Not only did they not come to rescue him, they didn't even say a word to him.
Did the Imperial Master really give up on him?
No, he is a descendant of the Yue royal family!
After the fall of the Moon Kingdom, he was the only descendant of the royal family left.
He is the young master of the Moon Clan, shouldering the heavy responsibility of restoring the country.
How could the Moon Tribe people just watch him die without rescuing him?
They must still be waiting for their chance!
Once they find a good opportunity, they will definitely rescue him!
Wen Zhao's dim eyes suddenly became brighter again.
Seeing that Wen Zhao kept his head down and said nothing, Xiao Jingyi told the guards to keep an eye on him and then turned and went into the post station.
The post station had already received the news that they would be receiving His Royal Highness Prince Yi and his entourage, so they made preparations early.
The postmaster cleaned up the best room for His Royal Highness Prince Yi and the Princess to rest.
There are so many people in Xiao Jingyi's group that the inn definitely cannot accommodate them.
Except for his personal guards, Wen Zhao and the people who guarded him, everyone else camped outside the post station.
The inn couldn't accommodate so many people, but it was no problem preparing meals for them.
Because so many people came at once, the kitchen of the inn was bustling with activity.
A pot of noodles was cooked, and the helping woman scooped a bowl of noodles and carried it to the prison van.
