Chapter 5 The Refugees Who Took the Initiative to Find Trouble

The corners of her mouth twitched as she took a bite and said, "It's not poisonous!"

There was no one else who could be suspected by her brother like this.

Thinking of what had happened last night, Bai Qingzhou did not let down his guard.

His sister used to be nice, but since she met the Crown Prince, she had been out of her mind. She insisted on rushing to the Crown Prince as if she had been poisoned.

There was no cure at all!

Bai Qingzhou thought to himself, took her pie, and ate it in a few bites.

Seeing this, her second brother, Bai Qingyan, also ate the pie.

As soon as she turned around, Bai Qingyan whispered to Bai Qingzhou, "Brother, don't you think that our sister has changed since I met Chu Yu."

Bai Qingzhou swallowed the last bite of the pancake and said in a deep voice, "If there is no change, she will really be hopeless."

"Ahem, ahem!" Bai Qingqian almost choked to death when she heard their conversation.

Seeing this, Yun Yan quickly came over and patted her on the back. "Drink slowly. No one will compete with you."

"Ahem! I'm fine, I'm not... Ahem!"

She coughed so hard that her face turned red. It took her a long time to recover. When she looked up, she met Qin Jinmo's scrutinizing gaze.

She immediately raised her head and came to him with a straight face, then poured the bowl of porridge to him.

"It seems that our Prince Qin doesn't eat other people's food."

The guard couldn't stop her in time. Looking at the porridge in the bowl of Qin Jinmo, he gritted his teeth angrily.

Their Princess Bai must have done it on purpose. She knew that Prince Qin didn't like other people's food, but she still...

"It's okay." Qin Jinmo took a sip of porridge calmly.

The guard couldn't believe his eyes. "Prince Qin, you doesn't need make things difficult for yourself. There's more in the pot."

"It's hard for us to survive to the Northwest region if we can't get enough to eat but still be particular in details."

"You!"

"She's right." Qin Jinmo looked calm. It was not the time to be particular about it.

What's more, it was very likely that she came to please him for the sake of the Crown Prince. If she wanted something, she would definitely not let anything happen to him. If she gave it to him, he would eat it. Why waste it!

He wanted to see how long she could act!

Bai Qingqian smiled slightly. Hearing the two children humming, she immediately went to the carriage to take care of them.

It was not yet dawn. After breakfast, everyone packed up and prepared to leave.

Her second brother, Bai Qingyan, skillfully laid a quilt on the plate trailer and a cold mat, so that Ruan Sisi could lie on it to relieve the jolt.

Their pots and pans were placed on another plate trailer, and their food was also piled up together.

With the help of Marquis Weiwu, they still had two donkeys and didn't need anyone to pull the plate trailers.

Yun Yan sat in the carriage with the twins. There were some clothes piled up in the carriage, while Qin Jinmo sat in another carriage, which was filled with medicinal materials and other things.

The two guards walked in front. After receiving benefits from them yesterday, their attitudes were slightly better now.

"Everyone, don't blame us. It's hot now. When the sun comes out, everyone will feel uncomfortable walking. It's better to walk faster now and find a place to rest at the hottest time."

Bai Qingzhou said with a smile, "It's really hot. You're doing this for our own good."

"It's good that you understand. We are just following orders. Everyone understands each other and lives a better life."

One of the guards said with a smile.

Another guard also came over with a smile and said, "Young Master Bai, is the grain you picked up last night really sent by that person?"

Bai Qingzhou raised his eyebrows. "Who?"

Seeing this, the two guards knew that this couldn't be told so directly, so they chuckled and stopped talking.

However, this news had to be reported, and someone would naturally investigate it.

"Let's go!"

The guards shouted, and the team set off slowly.

On the way, one of the guards took another road and entered the nearest town. He did not return until the afternoon.

Qin Jinmo and the others saw all of this and knew that he had gone to report to the Crown Prince, so they didn't say anything else. They just instructed Qin Zhu and Feng Jiu to be careful.

Perhaps the Crown Prince would send someone over soon.

They had already walked one-third of the way, and there were already a few refugees on the road heading for the capital.

They were all starving. Their eyes were shining as they looked at their horses and donkeys.

Looking at this scene, Bai Qingyi bowed his head with reluctance.

From the Northwest border to here, countless people had starved to death.

It was said that many refugees didn't have anything to eat, so in the end, they could only eat their seeds, tree bark, and yellow mud.

On the other hand, they were heading in the opposite direction. The further northwest they went, the less food they would be able to find.

"Mr., please give me something to eat!"

Suddenly, a thin and weak figure rushed to Bai Qingzhou and grabbed his thigh hard.

Seeing this, the guard kicked him away and cursed, "Didn't you see it is government business? There's no food for exiled criminals. Get lost!"

Seeing his fierce look, the timid refugees subconsciously avoided him.

The bold ones stared straight at their plate trailer, donkey, and horse, wishing to kill them on the spot.

"Exiled criminals? How can they take a carriage?"

Among the refugees, someone said in a gloomy voice.

Bai Qingqian felt her heart skipped a beat. She immediately walked quickly to her mother's and child's carriage and looked warily at the refugees around her.

More and more refugees surrounded them, greedily looking at their belongings.

"Sir, exiled criminals certainly don't need a donkey. Why don't you give us a bite?"

The refugees were starving to crazy. They knew that they cannot afford to offend the government, but when they saw that there were only so many of them, they couldn't help asking.

Bai Qingzhou immediately raised his hand to signal her manservants to protect the plate trailers and the carriages from approaching.

The guard fiercely spat and said, "Are you blind? This is the order of the noble. If you rush up, I will dig up the graves of all eighteen generations of your ancestors!"

Even so, they were still nervous when they saw dozens of refugees surrounding them.

Bai Qingqian became nervous and immediately asked the manservant to tell Bai Qingyan to let her second sister-in-law, Ruan Sisi, get on the carriage first.

If it was messed up, the plate trailer would flip over easily.

They encountered more and more refugees along the way, but today was the first time that they took the initiative to make trouble.

Is something going to happen?!
