I turned the cold palace into a paradise

Yunyue said goodbye to Shijin's family and continued on her way.

Although there was a small incident, everyone quickly adjusted to the situation and began to enjoy the journey again. Everyone was as happy as a bird flying freely into the sky.

However, as the convoy gradually approached Liangzhou, everyone's mood began to become heavy.

There are refugees everywhere.

Everyone's face was numb.

"Didn't the court provide disaster relief? Why is it still like this?" Ouyang Shu looked solemn.

Yun Yue put down the curtain in her hand and sighed: "After layers of exploitation, only a few can reach the hands of the common people."

"No one cares?"

Yun Yue sneered: "It's the same from top to bottom, who cares?"

"What about the people?"

Yunyue was silent.

As the convoy moved forward, they encountered more and more refugees. Every time they passed by, the light in their eyes was frightening.

"Wanhua, Siyin, tell everyone not to leave the convoy and not to give them anything without permission."

"They are so pitiful. We have so much food. Why can't we give them some?" Anle frowned and said dissatisfiedly.

"Because of the danger."

Anle curled her lips and disagreed. How could they be in danger when they were so pitiful?

In the evening, due to the delay on the road, we were a bit far from the next city.

The convoy had no choice but to stop and find a place with few people to rest.

Yunyue didn't let them cook, but just boiled some water and ate some with some bread.

"Don't leave alone. Everyone go to bed early. Si Yin, please divide your men into groups to stand guard."

Si Yin nodded. The mistress was smarter than they thought.

Anle watched everyone busy, and then he secretly moved around. Sitting in the carriage for too long was really boring.

Suddenly, a little boy appeared in front of Anle. He looked about five or six years old, wearing a long gown with pudding sewn all over it. But the boy was too thin, and the clothes were empty, as if they would slip off his shoulders at any time.

Anle frowned. How could there be such a thin person? He looked like... a corpse.

"Hey kid, what are you doing there?"

The little boy looked at her without saying anything.

Anle remembered that he still had half a cake hidden in his arms, so he took it out and handed it over: "Hey, do you want to eat it?"

The boy's eyes lit up like a wolf seeing its prey. He pounced on the cake, took away half the cake, and swallowed it in one bite.

Anle was startled, then said with sympathy: "Hey, eat slowly, don't choke. If it's not enough, I have more."

Unexpectedly, the boy suddenly ran off into the distance, shouting as he ran: "She has food here! She has food here!"

Then a group of ragged men came running towards her with all kinds of weapons.

Anle was stunned for a moment, at a loss as to what to do. There was only one thought in his mind: I seemed to have done something wrong...

Yin San, who was on guard nearby, heard the noise and came over to see this scene. He quickly walked over and pulled An Le back to the camp: "Oh no! There are refugees coming."

Si Yin and others protected the carriage behind them with weapons.

At the same time, the refugees also gathered around.

Yunyue got off the carriage and looked at the refugees, about forty or fifty of them.

Apart from Si Yin and the other six people, Wanhua, Yingtao and Bajiao are the only ones who know martial arts. The rest are old or young and have no fighting ability at all.

"Everyone, are you looking for food? We still have some food in the car and we can give it all to you. We hope you can leave after taking the food and don't scare the children." Yun Yue was afraid that more refugees would come later, which would cause more trouble.

The middle-aged man in the lead nodded: "Of course."

Yun Yue waved her hand, and everyone took all the food off the carriage. The refugees immediately scrambled to take the food away.

The middle-aged man nodded, and the women and children among the refugees left first with the food, while the remaining dozens of men stood there without moving.

Yun Yue's face darkened: "I gave you the food, why don't you leave?"

The man unabashedly swept his gaze over Huang Jiaojiao, Ouyang Shu and the others, and said with a lewd smile: "This carriage is worth a lot of money, and these beauties are also worth a lot of money..."

Huang Jiaojiao felt disgusted and scared.

An Le was hiding in Liu Lu's arms, watching helplessly. When she heard this, she shouted angrily, "How can you do this! Get out of here!"

"Heh, do you really think we're easy to bully? Don't be so shameless." Yun Yue said coldly.

"Hahahahahahahahaha, this pretty boy is quite arrogant. Humph, believe it or not, I will sell you to a brothel too. Some masters like pretty boys like you! By then, all the women will be sold to brothels, and the children's legs will be broken to become beggars."

"Hahahahahahahahahaha!" the other refugees laughed.

Si Yin and the others could no longer bear to listen, and when they saw Yun Yue nod, they left two people to protect him, and the rest rushed forward with swords in hand.

Li Wanhua also picked up her precious sword and joined in the fun.

"Are you bullying me? I'll cut off your tongues!"

Except for the leading man who knew some boxing and kicking, the others were just ordinary people who only knew some fancy moves. They were no match for these secret guards. The battle was over before it even started. They all knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"You should be content with the food you have received, but you are still thinking of doing something despicable. Keeping you here will only bring disaster to more people!"

Si Yin was already furious and didn't want to say anything more. She stabbed the leading man in the heart with her sword.

Seeing this, the other refugees who had originally gathered around moved away.

The refugees lying on the ground were regretting their decision. They had said they would just ask for some food, but the boss insisted on capturing more people to sell for money. This time, they were in trouble! They were in trouble.

"The others will let you go today, not for you, but for your wives and children. I think you should know better than me how miserable it is for women and children without men, right?"

"Yes Yes Yes."

"I won't dare to do it again, never again..."

Si Yin snorted and retracted the sword in his hand. The refugees immediately turned around and ran away, fearing that if they ran too slowly they would end up like their boss.

"Wait a moment, take the body away."

Several refugees behind hurried over and dragged the body away.

"Yunyue, are you just going to let them go?" Li Wanhua was a little unhappy. Her knife hadn't shed any blood yet and was almost rusty.

Yun Yue looked into the distance: "It's not because of them, but because of the families behind them. If they die, their wives and children will not be able to survive in this chaotic world..."

Anle walked to Yunyue under the push of Liu Lu.

"Yue'er, and everyone else, I'm so sorry. It was Anle's ignorance that almost caused a disaster." Liu Lu felt guilty and didn't dare to look at everyone. He didn't help anyone and even held them back.

Anle was still scared at this time, and couldn't help crying out of self-blame: "I'm sorry, Anle knows I was wrong, wuwuwuwu."

Yunyue bent down and reached out to touch Anle's head, gently educating him: "Anle has a kind heart, so he gave them food. But you must remember to consider yourself and the people around you first when doing good things, and learn to analyze whether you should do it and how to do it. You are still young, so sometimes you may not understand it. You should listen to your mother more, okay?"

"I understand." Anle nodded honestly. He looked up at Liu Lu. Then he walked in front of Concubine Wang and the others to apologize: "I'm sorry, it's all Anle's fault. I scared everyone."

Everyone waved their hands and said it was okay. Anle grew up in the palace and had never seen the outside world. They would not blame her.

"Ahhh!" Fubao stretched out his hands to ask Anle to hold him.

Anle took Fubao and thought about what those people said about breaking the child's legs and turning him into a beggar. Her nose felt sore again. She pinched his chubby calves and felt very scared. Woo woo woo woo, Fubao almost lost his legs.
