Huo Jingzhou walked to the kitchen of the courtyard without hesitation, moved the rice jar, revealing a large stone slab underneath.
"Little Princess, Your Majesty, the children are being held captive down there!"
Prince Jin's expression suddenly tensed up, and he immediately ordered the government servants, "Go down and save them!"
Two yamen runners stepped forward and moved the large stone slab away, revealing a passage underneath, which was a little dark.
"Let's go down!"
"Yiyi knows medical skills and can save people!"
Prince Jin walked down first, followed closely by Xiao Ruoyi.
Walking into the basement, it was much simpler than Tan Hongyu's basement, with only a yellow mud wall and a cell door on one side, and more than a dozen children were imprisoned inside.
Most of these children had their eyes closed and were lying on the ground motionless.
"Your Highness, little princess, they must have drugged the children so that they could behave themselves!"
...
...
"Um!"
Prince Jin nodded, turned around, picked up the knife in the bailiff's hand, and chopped at the lock of the prison door.
With a "clang", the locked door was split open and the prison door was kicked open.
A group of people went forward to check on the children. Now they just needed to make sure that their lives were not in danger.
Xiao Ruoyi just quickly took their pulses to make sure they were fine.
"It's nothing, just let them rest and the effect of the medicine will wear off!"
"That's good!" King Jin breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the yamen runners, "Bring them all up!"
"yes!"
The bailiff quickly walked up with a child in his arms and put them on the ground.
When the human traffickers saw that they had really found the people and rescued them, some of the timid ones fell to the ground in despair.
Knowing that they no longer have the chance to explain!
Huo Jingzhou glanced around and said coldly, "Not many people! They must have sold a lot!"
“Where will they sell it?”
"There are many. Some are sold as child brides, some are sold to brothels, and some are sold to them like us..." Huo Jingzhou glanced at Xiao Ruoyi halfway through his speech, "They have many ways!"
King Jin nodded in understanding and patted Huo Jingzhou on the shoulder, "It's okay, everything is over!"
Huo Jingzhou lowered his head, bloodthirsty madness flashing in his eyes, "Well, this is also thanks to the little princess and Prince Jin, otherwise..."
Xiao Ruoyi turned around and looked at Huo Jingzhou, who was emitting a depressed aura, and sighed in her heart, [Alas! Fortunately, he was rescued in time, otherwise he would really want to use the power of the male protagonist to destroy the whole world! ]
When King Jin heard Xiao Ruoyi's thoughts, he couldn't help but shiver.
Then he looked at Huo Jingzhou as if he was looking at a monster, a little horrified. Destroying the whole world? Is this kid so cruel and terrifying? If it is used in the right way, it will be a blessing for Donglin Country!
King Jin also hurriedly comforted Huo Jingzhou and met his various requests, "It's okay, it's all over! You can still take revenge yourself later!"
Huo Jingzhou nodded and looked at Prince Jin and Xiao Ruoyi gratefully. "Well, thanks to the prince and the little princess, you saved me from the abyss of darkness!"
King Jin smiled and patted Huo Jingzhou on the shoulder. "It's okay. When you get home, if you have any difficulties, you can still come to me!"
Xiao Ruoyi turned to look at King Jin and sighed in her heart, "Alas, should I tell my uncle that Huo Jingzhou and his parents are separated?"
The King of Jin paused while patting Huo Jingzhou's shoulder. What? Lost? Does that mean this kid is an orphan?
Sure enough, Huo Jingzhou spoke up to prove the truth of Xiao Ruoyi's words.
"Your Majesty, I am an orphan!"
The expression on King Jin's face became even more embarrassed, "Uh... he really is an orphan!"
"Huh? What do you mean he's really an orphan?"
The Prince of Jin choked, as if he had said something wrong again by accident. He was in such a difficult situation!
So, King Jin quickly tried to make excuses for himself, "No... I was just wondering why your parents hadn't come to find you yet, so I guessed that you might be an orphan! Yes, that's right!"
Xiao Ruoyi suddenly realized, [Oh, I was wondering, how did the emperor's uncle know that Huo Jingzhou is an orphan now! Isn't this just poking at someone's heart? ]
Hearing Xiao Ruoyi's voice, King Jin breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, his little niece believed his explanation.
Huo Jingzhou lowered his head, his face full of bitterness.
If I hadn't had no parents, how could I have been targeted by these hateful human traffickers? I had no chance to resist after being captured.
Although he managed to fool his niece, he was not very good at talking, which hurt Huo Jingzhou's heart.
In Prince Jin's mind, Huo Jingzhou would take a backseat compared to letting his little niece find out that he could hear people's thoughts. After all, he could still make up for it.
Since my niece said he is a good talent, we must recruit and train him well!
"So...what are your plans next?"
Huo Jingzhou looked up at King Jin, then shook his head, "I don't know yet!"
Although he has now captured the human traffickers and taken revenge, he is indeed confused about what to do in the future.
Prince Jin patted his shoulder and said, "Since you have no plans, then come to Prince Jin's Mansion!"
"Go... go to Prince Jin's Mansion?" Huo Jingzhou's face was full of surprise.
"Yes!" King Jin nodded and patted his chest confidently, "Boy, follow me from now on! I'll take you flying! How do you think?"
Xiao Ruoyi looked at the King of Jin with suspicion, worry and horror, and couldn't help complaining in her heart, "The emperor's uncle is taking Huo Jingzhou with him? Will he turn a genius into a fool? I'm so worried about the future of Donglin Kingdom!"
The originally high-spirited Prince Jin's mouth twitched fiercely, and his aura instantly disappeared. "Silly girl, if you speak nicely, we can still be good uncle and nephew!"
Huo Jingzhou didn't know all this. He felt that he was valued and was even the prince of a country.
So, he immediately knelt on one knee to express his gratitude, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your appreciation!"
King Jin forced a far-fetched smile and patted Huo Jingzhou on the shoulder, "Haha... After all, not everyone can keep such a clear mind after suffering such terrible torture. I believe that you will definitely become a pillar of Donglin Country!"
Looking at this scene, Xiao Ruoyi knew that she couldn't spoil King Jin's fun, but for the future of Donglin Kingdom and Huo Jingzhou's future, she still reached out her chubby hand and grabbed King Jin's sleeve.
"Uncle, Yiyi feels that you need to think carefully about letting Brother Huo follow you!"
Huo Jingzhou, who didn't know what Xiao Ruoyi meant, suddenly looked sad, "Little Princess, do you think that I can't follow the prince and be loyal to him?"
"No! That's not what I meant!" Xiao Ruoyi suddenly shuddered and waved her hands in panic to deny it.
[Ahhh! I seem to have been misunderstood accidentally! I'm afraid he will be led astray. If a genius becomes a fool, that will be a disaster for the Donglin Kingdom!]
