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

Chapter 300 Sulfur Mine

Yun Fuling's mind suddenly changed, and she asked, "When are we leaving?"

She had a few things to do before leaving.

"I came here because I have something to tell you. We can't leave Devil's Island until this matter is done."

Yun Fuling remained silent, waiting for Xiao Jingyi to continue.

Xiao Jingyi paused, then continued, "A few days ago, the island began to increase the production of the magic ointment. The magic ointment produced this time is three times the previous trading volume."

"Zuo Yan and I interrogated the leaders. According to their confession, it was the imperial master who sent a message asking them to do this."

"If such a large amount of magic ointment were to flow into the market, the consequences would be disastrous."

"And tomorrow is the day when the Japanese merchants who cooperate with them will come to pick up the goods."

"Zuo Yan and I have discussed this and plan to trick those Japanese merchants onto the island first, and then use them to kill them by surprise!"

As soon as Yun Fuling heard it, she understood Xiao Jingyi's plan.

She clapped her hands and said, "You are trying to play a trick!"

"But those Japanese merchants have traded with Devil Island many times, so they must be somewhat familiar with the people on Devil Island."

"Our people are all strangers to them."

"If the two meet, they might be exposed. How can we trick them into coming to the island?"

Xiao Jingyi smiled brightly, "Don't worry, I've thought about it."

"Not all of these pirates on Devil's Island have backbone. Many of them are spineless."

"Pick out a few of them later and have them act as the vanguard to lure those Japanese merchants to the island."

"We are hiding in the dark. As soon as they come onto the island, we can subdue them."

Yun Fuling felt relieved when she saw that Xiao Jingyi had already come up with an idea.

She thought about it and took out a bottle of pills from her sleeve.

"You have to choose your candidates carefully. If they see those Japanese merchants and suddenly turn against them and tip them off, your plan will be ruined."

"Take this bottle of medicine. Feed each of the selected people one pill. The effects of this medicine will occur every two hours. When it occurs, the whole body will feel like it is bitten by insects. The pain and itching are unbearable. Only taking the antidote will relieve the pain."

"Calculate the time and give them the medicine in advance, so that they can feel the pain of being bitten by thousands of insects first."

"When we meet those Japanese merchants tomorrow, we'll see who still has the guts to cause trouble!"

Xiao Jingyi originally planned to use intimidation and inducement, but he didn't expect Yun Fuling to solve the problem with just a bottle of medicine.

And this method is easier and more effective than he thought.

He took the medicine bottle and leaned over to kiss Yun Fuling on the forehead.

"Luckily you are here!"

Yun Fuling raised her chin proudly, "Then you must cherish it!"

Xiao Jingyi held Yun Fuling's hand and said, "Of course."

The two joked for a while. Xiao Jingyi saw the stones on the table and remembered that when he entered the room just now, Yun Fuling seemed to be talking about these stones with Yaoguang.

He picked up a stone and looked at it.

Yun Fuling thought that Yaoguang was also very curious about these stones, so she immediately called Yaoguang in.

When Xiao Jingyi came over earlier, Yaoguang went outside the house, leaving Xiao Jingyi and Yun Fuling talking in the house.

After Yaoguang came in, Yun Fuling picked up a stone and explained, "These are not ordinary stones, but sulfur stones rich in sulfur."

"I guess there might be a sulfur mine on this island."

Although Yaoguang didn't know much about sulfur, when she heard about sulfur mine, she felt that it must be a good thing.

After all, the gold, silver, copper and iron mines she had heard of before were all very valuable.

Moreover, Yun Fuling picked up these pieces of sulfur stones, which looked very precious. This thing must be very valuable.

Her eyes lit up and she said, "Princess, I will take people to look for her right away!"

Yun Fuling raised her hand, signaling Yaoguang not to be anxious.

She looked at Xiao Jingyi and asked, "If there really is a sulfur mine on the island, can I dig it freely? Can all the sulfur rocks I dig out belong to me?"

Xiao Jingyi smiled and nodded, "The sea area where Devil Island is located is ownerless. As long as someone has the ability to swallow it, whoever finds it will naturally own it!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Fuling immediately put her heart at ease.

"I've really found a treasure this time. I've made a fortune on this trip!"

Xiao Jingyi knew that sulfur could be used as medicine and in alchemy.

However, the emperors of Daqi Dynasty did not like the art of making elixirs, so the custom of taking elixirs was not popular, and most of the sulfur on the market was circulated in pharmacies.

Xiao Jingyi thought that Yun Fuling wanted these sulfur stones to use as medicinal materials.

Little did Yun Fuling know that sulfur was of great use to her!

Seeing Yun Fuling so happy, Xiao Jingyi said, "Since you like it, I will transfer some people over to help you dig some sulfur stones and bring them back to the capital."

"Dig more." Yun Fuling nodded with a smile.

"Oh, right. I took a look around the island today. There are many poppies planted on the island. Before we leave, we have to get rid of all the poppies. We can't leave them there to become trouble in the future."

Xiao Jingyi also had this idea, so he said, "Then I'll leave it to you to handle."

Yun Fuling made an OK gesture and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me. I will definitely take care of it!"

Xiao Jingyi stayed with Yun Fuling for a while and then went back to work.

There is another tough battle to fight tomorrow, so we have to make preparations overnight.

Yun Fuling felt distressed when she saw him working late into the night.

But when the plan reaches a critical moment, we cannot fail.

Yun Fuling had no other good idea, so she could only make some nourishing soup herself, put a drop of spiritual water in the soup, and asked someone to send it to Xiao Jingyi.

The next morning, after Yun Fuling got up, she didn't see Xiao Jingyi.

She asked Yaoguang, "Your Majesty, were you busy all night and didn't sleep?"

Yaoguang nodded first, then shook her head, "The prince came back in the middle of the night and slept for two hours."

"Because I don't want to disturb your rest, the prince sleeps on the low couch in the outer room."

"The prince has already led his men to the beach to ambush, waiting for those Japanese merchants to arrive!"

Yun Fuling nodded to indicate that she understood.

After having a quick breakfast, Yun Fuling got up and went out, planning to look for a sulfur mine today.

Xiao Jingyi is enough to catch those Japanese merchants, and there is no need for her to get involved, so she should use her time to do other things.

Yun Fuling immediately took a few people and set out to look for sulfur mines.

Yesterday she made a mark at the place where she found the sulfur stone, and it was only one night since she had walked this road yesterday, so Yun Fuling remembered it very clearly.

So following her memory, Yun Fuling found the place where she discovered the sulfur stone yesterday without much effort.

Yun Fuling showed the sulfur stone to the people she brought with her, and said, "Look carefully. Your task today is to find this kind of stone nearby. See if there is any place with a lot of this kind of stone."

"Whoever finds it will be rewarded handsomely!"
