I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night

Encountering a Wolf!

Lu Ze��s guess was right.

At midnight, there was really a riot not far from the refugee gathering place.

In order to snatch the water and food that they relied on to survive, these people often did even more cruel things! After all, it was difficult for many people to imagine what these refugees who left their hometowns and escaped to the capital had experienced.

However, although this riot happened suddenly, it didn��t last long before the soldiers came over to stop it.

However, they only stopped them. The soldiers didn��t help to recover the water and food that had been snatched from the victims. Therefore, from a certain perspective, not only did they not stop the evil deeds that had begun to spread, but they also helped the wicked.

The next day was the third day.This kind of robbery of other people��s water and food was becoming more and more blatant.

Seeing that this behavior was spreading like wildfire, families with a few men like Mrs. Luo��s family also began to gather with familiar families. They either went to snatch other people��s food together or defended their families together.

Seeing that this conflict was getting more and more intense, the first to lose their cool were the officials who followed Pei Qian and were responsible for escorting this group of refugees to the north.

The journey was too long, so it was normal to lose people. However, if they lost too many people, they would have to suffer.

��Prince, more than 40 refugees have been killed or injured in the past two days!

If we don��t stop them now, we might not be able to control the situation anymore!��

The official in the lead approached Pei Qian, who was sitting upright in the tent. The bearded man was so anxious that he was about to cry.

Previously, a group had already been executed on the way. In addition to the few who had died of illness midway, there were more than a hundred casualties now!

If this continued, how were they going to explain themselves?!

��Lord Wu, what��s the hurry?!�� Pei Qian played with an extremely luxurious dagger in his hand. After listening to Lord Wu��s pleading for a long time, he slowly said, ��Let me ask you, who do you think is the most dangerous and difficult to control among the people we��re escorting this time?!��

��Of course it��s those felons who have to be sent to the border.�� Lord Wu thought for a moment and replied subconsciously.

��Wrong! Those are felons, but many of them are from prominent families! Although their crimes are serious, most of them grew up in rich families! It��s easy for them to kneel down and kowtow, but it��s too much to ask them to stand up and resist!��

Pei Qian pulled out his dagger. The sharp blade reflected the sly smile on his face, making Lord Wu shiver.

��The most dangerous people are actually hidden among these refugees!

The four counties in the capital had a drought and locusts passed through. In many of the farms, no one was spared in the end. All of them starved to death at home! How do you think these people who could escape safely to the capital survived on the way?!��

Pei Qian looked at Lord Wu and was satisfied to see him break out in cold sweat. He chuckled confidently. ��These people must be dug out and eliminated!��

��What we��re going to transport to the northern border is a herd of sheep! Even if there are fewer people, at least they will be easy to control. But if you send this pack of wolves to the northern border, what if they cause trouble in the future? Lord Wu, you won��t just get a beating. You��ll lose your head!��

After saying this, Pei Qian didn��t stay in the tent for long. Instead, he slowly walked out of the tent and asked Qian He, who was guarding the door, ��How��s the surveillance on those two?!��

��Your Highness, they have gathered with a few familiar families. As long as others don��t cause trouble for them, they won��t take the initiative to cause trouble. However, if they take the initiative to provoke them, they won��t hesitate to attack.��

��These refugees are really as you said, Your Highness. None of them are easy to deal with!��

Hearing his master��s question, Qian He quickly lowered his head and replied.

��In another two days, we��ll be able to pass through this sandbar! Keep an eye on them with the people below. Don��t let any of them off!��

After warming up his wrist, Pei Qian looked at the camp not far away that was flickering with bonfires and said coldly, ��Also, continue to keep an eye on those two people! If there are any strange movements, report it immediately!��

Lin Suisui didn��t know that Pei Qian hadn��t given up on monitoring them even though the situation was already so dangerous.

However, she couldn��t be bothered to think about this at this moment because the water she and Lu Ze had stored was about to run out. No matter how thrifty they were, they could only last for a day at most.

Fortunately, there was always a way out. She found a large forest of saxauls not far from her stop today.

Under the cover of the night, Lin Suisui decided to try her luck in this forest.

What she was looking for were the herbs that parasitized the roots of plants like the saxaula���Yang Locking and Flesh Weed.

These two plants could be used as medicine, but before they were processed into medicinal herbs, they contained a lot of water. If they could find some, not only could they quench their thirst, but they could also satisfy their hunger.

Originally, Lin Suisui planned to go alone, but Lu Ze was worried, so in the end, the two of them took advantage of the moonlight and quietly entered the forest.

Lin Suisui was really lucky. Not long after she entered, she really found a few Yang Locking plants that could resolve the urgent situation! As she whispered to Lu Ze about the use of these plants, she quickly dug them out of the sand dune and placed them in the basket on her back.

This forest wasn��t big, so it didn��t take long for Lin Suizui to search through the entire place. She dug up half a basket of plants that could be used to quench thirst. It was worth the trip.

Just as she stood up after digging up the last cistanche and was about to call Lu Ze, who was guarding not far from her, to return to the camp, she was shocked to discover that Lu Ze��s expression had changed.

��Don��t move!�� The man��s voice was soft, but it carried a sense of deterrence. Although she didn��t know what was going on, Lin Suisui chose to do as she was told.

With a ripping sound, Lu Ze quickly lit the match. In the next second, the crude dagger in his hand slid past Lin Sui��s side and stabbed behind her like a meteor.

Lin Suisui reacted quickly. Hearing the wail behind her, she took the opportunity to run to Lu Ze��s side and was pulled behind him.

It was also at this moment that Lin Suisui saw that the thing that had just appeared behind her was actually a wolf that looked thin but had an extremely fierce glint in its eyes!
