Chapter 152 Not Allowed

The group set out from the imperial city. As they got farther and farther away from the imperial city, they saw more and more refugees on the road.

Almost everyone seemed numb and just mechanically hurried on their way. Even if Bai Qianxi and her group passed by, they could not muster the slightest interest.

"How long will it take to get to the next town? We've been traveling for such a long time, should we take a rest first? If we continue like this, we won't be able to hold on any longer." An imperial physician couldn't help but speak.

He felt that his thighs were almost rubbed raw, and the key point was that he didn't know how to ride a horse, so he had to rely on others to lead him.

"It's almost there." Bai Yushu looked at the sky and said, "Everyone hold on a little longer."

"I really can't hold on any longer. We haven't even had a sip of water along the way. Even if we want to leave, we have to wait until we get down and drink some water." The imperial physician had a sad face.

"Yes, if we continue like this, our old bones won't be able to hold on before we reach our destination." Another imperial physician also spoke up.

"In that case, let's stop and take a rest. There's an open space up ahead." Bai Qianxi looked at the two people who were secretly complaining as soon as they set out on the road, then looked at the others who were equally tired and spoke.

Bai Yushu disagreed with what he said, "We are almost there, it would be useless to hold on any longer..."

"I think what Xi'er said makes sense. We are all tired. Let's stop and take a rest, eat some dry food, and then continue on our way."

"But after we have rested, we must hurry up and try to reach the disaster area as soon as possible."

Ye Lan spoke, and Bai Yushu was about to stop her when he heard her say this again.

As soon as they heard Ye Lan agree to take a rest, they seemed to have unloaded a burden. They dismounted from their horses and found a place to sit down.

The refugees around saw the group stop and looked over here, especially when they saw the dry food in their hands, but they swallowed subconsciously.

"Sir, I haven't eaten for three days. Please give me something to eat. I don't want too much. Just one bite will do."

As soon as an imperial physician opened the bag and revealed the dry food inside, a man with a pale face, thin body, and messy hair bravely came over.

"I'm not doing this for myself... I'm mainly doing this for my poor wife and children."

The man spoke in a begging tone, pointing in another direction.

The imperial physician looked in the direction of the other person's finger and saw the poor mother and daughter huddled together, as if the slightest disturbance would make them extremely frightened.

"Sir, please save us. If we can survive, we are willing to work for you like slaves for the rest of our lives." The man knelt down and kowtowed.

"I……"

The imperial physician sighed, took out half of the cake in his hand and was about to hand it away.

"No!"

Just at this moment, a clear scolding voice rang out. Worried that the other party didn't hear it clearly, Bai Qianxi strode over directly.

Bai Yulang also hurriedly followed.

"This is my dry food. Why do you say you don't want to give it to me? Don't you see how pitiful he is? What's wrong with giving him a little?"

The two sides confronted each other, and the dispute soon attracted everyone's attention.

Bai Yushu saw the situation here, glanced at the poor refugees kneeling on the ground, then looked at Bai Qianxi and frowned.

"I thought you had changed your ways, but I didn't expect you to still be like this. If you don't want to help others, that's your own business. This doctor is willing to help people out of kindness, so why are you stopping him?"

"That's right! Our willingness to help others is our own business. What does it have to do with you?" Another imperial physician also came over to support.

"I have long been fed up with you. If it weren't for His Majesty's help, do you think you could have achieved such great success?"

"You can't give it!" Facing the accusation, Bai Qianxi's voice was still cold.

Bai Yulang looked at Bai Yushu, then at Bai Qianxi. Although he didn't know why, he thought that it was right to listen to his fifth sister. "Xi'er said you can't give it to her, so you can't give it to her. She must have her reasons for saying that! Have you ever missed anything Xi'er said she would do?" Bai Yulang defended her unwaveringly.

"I think she drugged you! How can such a cold-hearted person deserve your protection? These refugees are homeless, and now that we are here, we can help them." Bai Yushu scolded.

The two imperial doctors also immediately bowed, "Sure enough, Master Bai is very reasonable."

Seeing hope, the tall and thin man immediately kowtowed and spoke in a sad tone, "My lords, please help us..."

"I have said everything I need to say. Whether you want to listen or not is up to you."

After leaving the last words, Bai Qianxi turned around and left with Bai Yulang.

Ye Lan was still sitting there, seemingly completely uninterested in the argument. He only smiled slightly when he saw Bai Qianxi coming back.

Three people get together.

"Let's stay away from them for a while and just take good care of the supplies." Bai Qianxi instructed.

Good words can't persuade the devil to die.

On Bai Yushu's side, the two imperial doctors couldn't help but reveal a smug smile on their faces after seeing Bai Qianxi leave obediently.

He turned to look at the victim in front of him and handed him the half of the cake he had just broken off. After thinking for a moment, he took out two more cakes from his bag.

At this time, you can clearly hear the other person swallowing his saliva.

"These are for you. Although there isn't much, it can at least sustain you for a while—"

As soon as the imperial physician stretched out his hand holding the cake, before he could finish his words, the man reached out and snatched the cake, stuffed it into his collar, bent over, turned around and ran away.

"you……"

The imperial physician sighed, said nothing, and was about to lower his head to continue eating the dry food in his hand.

"My lord, please save us too!"

"We are hungry too! You still have so much food, please give us some."

At this moment, the refugees around, after seeing the man succeed, instantly mustered up their strength and rushed over, fearing that they would be a step behind their companions.

The imperial physician was slightly stunned when he saw this.

I reacted instantly and started to explain.

"Don't worry, this is all the dry food I have, and I need more to eat."

But the refugees this time would never listen to him and pounced on him like hungry wolves.

"Food! Give us food!"

"My Lord, please have mercy on us. If we don't eat, we will starve to death!"

The imperial physician stepped back subconsciously, "Don't mess around, we are from the imperial court!"

"As expected, you are all corrupt officials! You enjoy the good life and don't care about the lives of ordinary people like us!"

"They must have some food on them, hurry up and grab it! As long as we have food, we won't have to die!"

Some people looked at the supplies behind them with shining eyes. Although they were covered with cloth and no one knew what was inside, they were definitely good stuff!
"They have horses! Let's seize the horses and kill them to have meat to eat! Everyone, charge!" someone in the crowd shouted.

The scene was chaotic for a while.
