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!"
