Ding Hua sent them to near the south gate of the city, and that was as far as he could go.

Otherwise, a carriage like this would easily draw attention. If he drove into town, those people would surely come to investigate.

So no matter how much he wanted to personally see them off, he couldn't.

"Ding Hua, I'll leave this to you."

Ding Hua bowed. "Your Highness, rest assured, I will definitely do what you have entrusted to me."

"Well, take your time and be careful," An Xue Tang waved her hand. "Let's go, you should hurry back to the estate. After we leave, someone will definitely come looking for trouble again. Be careful, and be cautious when using the powder."

"Yes, your subordinate shall remember!"

Watching An Xue Tang and her companions leave, Ding Hua pursed his lips and could only ride the carriage back to the manor alone.

Because Yunliu had serious injuries, every step he took was difficult. However, An Xuetang letting him play the role of a hunched and infirm old man helped to conceal it quite well.

As the three of them neared the North Gate, An Xue Tang pulled the two of them into a narrow alley and then took out two packets of medicinal powder.

Before Mo Junyi and Yun Liu could ask her what she was doing, they saw An Xuetang mix the two packets of powder together.

Moments later, a foul stench wafted in, causing Mo Junyi and Yunliu to quickly cover their noses.

"Woman, what are you doing?"

An Xue Tang curled her lips, "Isn't this about to start acting? I can only feel sorry for Yunliu."

No sooner had she spoken than, before the two men could react, she flung a foul-smelling powder from her hand onto Yunliu's clothes.

Mo Junyi sprang back immediately, and Yun Liu's expression was... indescribable!

An Xue Tang saw their expressions and couldn't help but smile, covering her mouth. "Well, Yun Liu, you just bear with it for a while. Those guarding the city gate will definitely want to come and search us, but with your stench, they'll definitely be disgusted and wouldn't want anything to do with it. Plus, it's so hot today, they don't have that much patience."

What else can be said?!

Mo Jun gave a sympathetic glance to Yun Liu, then walked up to An Xue Tang. "Woman, is this the good show you were talking about? Even if Yun Liu stinks, it doesn't stop them from searching him."

Actually, I don't think they necessarily have a chance to search us, but just to be safe, I still want to do this. Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance that a search will happen, I want to be prepared!

"Besides, Yun Liu's body is soaked in blood, and these soldiers have a good sense of smell. We must be extra careful and use the stench to cover up the bloody scent on him. Besides, I actually have another plan."

This play, if things go as expected, should be a big one. But it's also going to be dangerous. If Yunliu has too much blood on him, it could cause problems.

An Xuetang was being very secretive, and no one knew what she was up to. Mo Junyi and Yun Liu exchanged glances; neither of them asked anything, and the three continued walking towards the North City Gate.

Yun Liu's scent is tolerable from a distance, but once you get within a meter of him, the smell becomes incredibly noticeable.

The North Gate of the city was indeed heavily guarded, with everyone entering and exiting being searched.

Mò Jūn Yì frowned and looked at An Xuě Táng, "Woman, wouldn't it be dangerous if we just go straight there?"

"Of course," An Xuetang narrowed her eyes, she held in her hand some unknown medicinal powder, scattering it along the way.

Yun Liu walked slowly, his leg wound split open. He felt that if he didn't leave quickly, the blood would completely soak through the gauze An Xue Tang had bandaged for him.

By then, he won't need these people to check his body. He will expose himself.

The people at the city gate were queuing to leave, and An Xue Tang and her three companions also joined the queue. However, everyone was looking at Yunliu with strange eyes.

Because the odor emanating from him has severely affected others.

Many people covered their noses, some looked at Yunliu with disgust, and others had already begun to whisper among themselves.

Yun Liu's face turned red with embarrassment. He had never imagined that one day he would be disgusted because of the stench on his body.

But they didn't have much time to chatter, because suddenly a pack of large dogs charged toward them, and not just dogs, but also cows and horses.

The cows and horses seemed to be out of control, charging recklessly. A pack of dogs was already terrifying enough, but now with so many uncontrolled cattle and horses, it felt like they were determined to trample or bite them to death.

For a moment, the queue erupted into chaos. People scrambled in all directions, most of them instinctively heading for the city gates as they sought escape.

Those guarding the city gates were taken aback by the sudden turn of events, but once they recovered, they shouted at the crowd to retreat or face the consequences of their swords.

But with things so chaotic right now, who would even listen to them? Falling back means being torn apart by those dozens of dogs, it's a dead end either way. Might as well just charge in headfirst.

Mo Junyi and Yunliu also understood An Xietang's intention. Mo Junyi supported Yunliu, using his internal energy to drag him along, allowing him to walk as easily as possible.

The three of them also ran towards the city gate. The soldiers had already started attacking the crowd. An Xue Tang narrowed her eyes slightly and whispered to Mo Jun Yi, “Take care of Yun Liu and yourself, leave with the crowd, there are still surprises outside.”

"...Mo Junyi and Yunliu were dumbfounded. There were still surprises outside."
