Chapter 382 Disguised Escape from the Capital
In just a few breaths, his originally fair and handsome appearance instantly became plain and unremarkable, even sallow, like someone suffering from malnutrition.
"What is that? It's amazing." Xie Hanchuan was very curious about Yang Xiaofeng's actions and looked at him.
If it weren't for this, why would he be afraid of the royal family's investigation?
"This is a disguise potion, which my junior sister and I developed. What, she didn't get you any?"
Speaking of this, Yang Xiaofeng looked at Xie Hanchuan with a provocative gaze, every word hitting Xie Hanchuan's heart.
"Let me look..." Since even Yang Xiaofeng has it, it's impossible that they don't have it.
Xie Hanchuan searched through his bundle and found a bottle that was exactly the same as the medicine bottle that Yang Xiaofeng had taken out earlier.
Without thinking, I poured it onto my face, and soon my face felt incredibly tight.
Looking in the small mirror at the inn, I realized that my facial features had shrunk considerably and looked much more youthful, like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy.
Seeing this effect, Xi Hanchuan couldn't help but burst into laughter.
His wife really loves him; she didn't make him look ugly or unattractive.
"Hmph!" Yang Xiaofeng also saw the effect of Xie Hanchuan's disguise water and the smug look on Xie Hanchuan's face.
He snorted defiantly and ignored Xie Hanchun, flying towards the skylight.
Seeing Yang Xiaofeng's resentful look, Xie Hanchuan flew out of the skylight in a good mood.
"Who are you two? Why did you come out of my room?"
Lin Wenqian and Lin Wenjin were waiting upstairs for Xie Hanchuan and Yang Xiaofeng to come out, but instead they saw two unfamiliar people. Lin Wenqian and Lin Wenjin immediately became alert.
"Big brother, it's us..." Xie Hanchuan chuckled when he saw that he didn't recognize Lin Wenjin and Lin Wenqian before confirming that it was them.
"Damn, what happened to you two? We can't even recognize you!" Lin Wenjin and Lin Wenqian curiously approached Xie Hanchun and Yang Xiaofeng, who had undergone such a dramatic transformation.
"Brother, actually, there should be a bottle of medicine in your bundle too. You can just pour it on your faces," Xie Hanchuan said quickly, his face almost getting rubbed raw by Lin Wenqian.
He clutched the pain in his face, strongly suspecting that Lin Wenqian was definitely plotting revenge, but he just hadn't found any evidence.
"Oh, let's look..." As soon as Lin Wenqian heard that his own bundle also contained something, he immediately let Xie Hanchuan go and began rummaging through his own bundle.
The two of them actually found it, and poured the medicine onto their faces. In no time, their appearances changed instantly.
"Haha, why would we need to be armed? We can just walk out and no one will recognize us..." Lin Wenjin, clearly feeling the change in his expression, couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"I never imagined my second sister could come up with all sorts of things, even this disguise potion." Lin Wenqian, unaware of what his face looked like, continued to praise Lin Luoxi.
When the other three saw Lin Wenqian, they all lowered their heads and dared not look directly at him.
"What's wrong with you three?" Lin Wenqian, still puzzled, looked at the three who had suddenly become quiet.
"Brother, it's alright. Let's hurry up and set off, otherwise we won't be able to get out once the city gates close."
Fearing that Lin Wenqian might explode later, Xie Hanchuan quickly changed the subject.
"Okay, let's get going!" I'll avoid coming to the capital again if I can avoid it; it's just too unpleasant.
The disguise potion developed by Lin Luoxi was indeed very effective. The four of them swaggered past the city guards, who did not notice anything unusual and let them leave the city without any problems.
Xie Hanchuan's men had prepared the finest horses outside the city early on. As soon as the four of them left the city, they rode their horses and immediately set off for Quanshan County.
"Big brother, don't you guys feel this road is so quiet..." As the four of them rode on the pipe, Xie Hanchuan had a feeling that something was wrong tonight.
Thinking of the royal family's methods, Xie Hanchuan immediately became vigilant.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..." Before Lin Wenqian and Lin Wenjin could speak, Xie Hanchuan, with his sharp eyes, noticed that many masked men were moving forward in the woods like bats.
“Those are royal assassins…” As the masked men moved, their sleeves fluttered, revealing a golden mark on the corner of their clothes, which was quite noticeable in the moonlight.
"Big brother, stop those people!" Xie Hanchuan saw the marks and the direction the people flew in, and he knew what they wanted to do.
"What?" Lin Wenqian, Lin Wenjin, and Yang Xiaofeng looked at Xie Hanchuan, still confused.
"These royal assassins are definitely after Luo Xi..." Xie Hanchuan briefly explained the urgent situation to Lin Wenqian and the others.
"Damn it..." Lin Wenqian seemed to understand something as well, and he and Xie Hanchuan rode off on horseback to chase after the assassins.
"Stop standing there, hurry up and chase after them!" Yang Xiaofeng had followed Doctor Yang from the capital to the countryside, so he knew a thing or two about the dirty tricks in the capital.
Seeing that Lin Wenjin was still standing there in a daze, he raised his whip and struck Lin Wenjin's horse, and together they chased after Xie Hanchuan and Lin Wenqian.
"Boss, those four guys seem to be coming for us."
The assassins, who were ordered to rush towards Quanshan County, keenly sensed that Xie Hanchuan and his three companions were chasing after them.
"Take care of these four first..." The masked man, addressed as the leader, looked disdainfully at Xie Hanchuan and his three companions who were chasing after him on horseback, and stopped flying forward.
"Kill!" At the command, the men in black raised their gleaming weapons and slashed at Xie Hanchuan and his group.
"Perfect timing!" Xie Hanchuan glanced at the number of people and quickly launched a signal flare into the sky before engaging the assassins.
The two sides fought fiercely in the mountains and forests. Although Lin Wenqian's four men were quite strong, they were outnumbered by the enemy and the situation was not good.
Fortunately, Xie Hanchuan's reinforcements arrived quickly, and since the two sides were roughly equal in numbers, the battle was eventually even.
If the two sides were locked in a fierce battle, Xie Hanchuan remembered that when they set off, Lin Luoxi seemed to have given him several bottles of poison.
At the time, he seemed to have said that he was just going to the capital to take the imperial examination and that there was no danger.
Lin Luoxi smiled at Xie Hanchuan's words, feeling it was better to be prepared.
In retrospect, Lin Luoxi was the wise one.
While his men were holding off the assassins, Xie Hanchuan reached into his bundle and rummaged through it for a while.
Using the moonlight, they finally found several black bottles.
Seeing these black bottles, Xie Hanchuan's eyes reddened. His Luo Xi was so kind; she even used black bottles to distinguish them so that he wouldn't be able to tell them apart.
Xie Hanchuan found a windy spot in the mountains and deliberately engaged the assassins in combat.
"Retreat!" Feeling that it was about time, Xie Hanchuan quickly ordered his men to retreat to the side and wait to see what would happen to the assassins.
