Princess Ning An’s Guards caught up with them using their light-footed skills.
Gu Chengfeng lifted the veiled hat and, holding onto the heavy skirt hem, ran forward with her feet turned outward, making "shoo, shoo, shoo" sounds!
Indeed, a woman’s dress does hinder speed.
Before they knew it, the two were caught up by four Guards.
A fierce fight ensued between them.
Gu Jiao, who had not brought weapons, fought them with her bare hands.
She single-handedly held off three Guards, but there was still one who made a beeline towards Gu Chengfeng.
Gu Chengfeng, in this heavy palace dress, couldn’t run or fight effectively.
As the icy cold long sword came slashing down, Gu Chengfeng dodged and exclaimed, "I dodge!"
The Guard slashed at air, then came at him with another sword swing.
"I dodge again!"
After several failed attempts to hit him, his attacker was thoroughly enraged. Suddenly, he gave up his long sword and drew the dagger from his belt, stabbing it toward Gu Chengfeng’s chest with lightning speed!
This move was so strong and fast that Gu Chengfeng couldn’t dodge it in time.
There was a loud bang, and Gu Chengfeng’s chest "exploded"!
The Guard was utterly dumbfounded.
What just happened?
Did he just blow up a woman’s... what?
Gu Chengfeng needed convincing padding to pass as a woman, and their first choice was Steamed Buns. Unfortunately, light Steamed Buns were too small, and heavy ones were just that—too heavy. In the end, Gu Jiao took two Little Dudu out of the first aid kit and let Gu Chengfeng blow them up himself.
He could make them as big as he wanted; they were lightweight and wouldn’t easily fall out—perfect.
Gu Chengfeng found it quite amusing and asked Gu Jiao if she had any more. He wanted to give one to his big brother and Gu Chenglin so that they could blow them up whenever they felt like it.
But Gu Jiao told him there were no more left.
Only these two remained, and this jerk had just burst one of them!
Gu Chengfeng was furious. He picked up his big slapping hands and started slapping away at the Guard!
Gu Jiao took care of the three men, while Gu Chengfeng, still righteously indignant, continued slapping him.
