Yun Mo looked in the direction Lin Yinan pointed. The two horses with dry, yellow hair and plump bodies next to the woman in black were the ones he had given to her at the city gate.
Why did its coat color change like this? Someone who didn't know better would think it was a mule.
He couldn't help but admire her; this woman was not only skilled in martial arts, but also had a brilliant mind.
This reduced the chances of others coveting the two Akhal-Teke horses.
Lin Yinan heard Lin Yi'an's voice, turned around and saw that the boy had already climbed onto the carriage of the master and his four servants.
I don't know when this kid slipped off his horse.
Their eyes met, and Lin Yinan nodded politely before walking toward Yun Mo's carriage.
"An'er, why did you get on someone else's carriage so casually?" she said sternly to Lin Yi'an.
If someone with malicious intent were to drug and hide a person, they would be nowhere to be found.
"Sister, he is the older brother from Pingcheng."
The man in black nodded at her, his expression indifferent.
Lin Yinan raised an eyebrow and glanced at the man.
The man was young, dressed in a black, fitted outfit with folded corners. He was handsome and resolute, with well-defined features, thick eyebrows, and large, deep, and bright eyes. Even when sitting in a carriage, he kept his back straight, exuding an innate sense of authority.
"Thank you for your help in Pingcheng, young master." Lin Yinan bowed to him sincerely.
"Miss, there's no need for such formality. I was just doing it on the spur of the moment."
Yun Mo frowned slightly. He could vaguely see a murderous aura about Lin Yinan that was extremely inconsistent with her sweet appearance.
"An'er, come back with me, your mother will be worried soon."
Lin Yinan reached out to hug Lin Yi'an.
Lin Yi'an dodged her hand and turned to Yun Mo, asking, "Brother, where are you going?"
“Head south,” Yun Mo said.
"Are you going the same way as us?" Lin Yi'an asked again, tilting her little face up.
Yun Mo glanced at the motionless line ahead and said, "Probably."
"That's great! Then I can see my brother every day." Lin Yi'an smiled happily.
Taking the opportunity, Lin Yinan picked him up and said to Yun Mo, "I'm sorry to have disturbed you, young master."
A faint, sweet fragrance wafted past his nose, causing Yun Mo to catch his breath. The scent seemed familiar, but he couldn't quite place where he had smelled it before.
He stared blankly at Lin Yinan as she walked away, his eyes filled with doubt.
Seeing that his master had taken a liking to the young girl, Yun Er stepped forward and said teasingly, "Master, this young girl not only knows kung fu, but she's also quite pretty!"
Yun Mo snapped out of her daze and rolled her eyes at him. "Do you think everyone is like you, unable to move when they see a pretty girl?"
"I'm looking at the girls in the brothel."
Yun Er lay down in the carriage without any regard for his image, a roguish smile on his handsome face.
Yun Wu turned his head away from looking at his smug face. "Second Brother Yun, don't be arrogant. Madam and Yun Yi are waiting for us at the Ten Mile Pavilion outside the city. Once we see Yun Yi, I will tell him about your visit to the brothel."
"I'm so scared! Go ahead and sue me, I haven't neglected my business." Yun Er waved his hand at him, not caring at all.
Yun Qi climbed down from the rooftop beside the street. "Master, it seems there's been a fight up ahead."
"What happened?" Yun Mo asked.
Yun Er sat up from the carriage, his smile fading.
"The civilians clashed with the soldiers at the city gate." That was roughly it. It was a bit far away, so Yun Qi didn't know the details.
"I'll go take a look."
As soon as Yun Er finished speaking, he flew onto the roof and turned to float towards the city gate.
A ruthless glint flashed in Yun Mo's eyes. "It will probably take some time to get out of the city. Yun Wu, do you have any more sleeping pills?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Wu rummaged through the packets of medicine powder hidden in various places on his body. "There's still quite a bit left."
"Get ready, we'll need it later," Yun Mo said.
Not long after, Yun Er returned.
"My lord, the soldiers guarding the city have received orders that the Hu people are about to attack Jiancheng. From today onwards, all city gates will be closed, and no one in the city is allowed to enter or leave."
Yun Er exhaled and continued, "Moreover, all the livestock of everyone in the city will be requisitioned, the men will be conscripted to guard the north gate, and the women and children will be responsible for the daily meals of the people in the city and various logistical tasks."
"This is clearly sending ordinary people to their deaths! Master, what should we do? We can't get out!" Yun Qi said.
"How is it up ahead now?" Yun Mo asked.
"Of course, the people will not sit idly by and wait to die; they have already started fighting with the government troops."
Yun Mo immediately had a plan. "Yun Er, go ahead and watch for the chaos to break out of the city and open the city gates. If necessary, add fuel to the fire."
Then they whispered and discussed what to do next.
Yun Er dusted off the non-existent dust from his sleeves, turned around, and strode away with a flourish.
At the same time, the people of Linjia Village also received news that the city gates would not be opened.
The women cried out, cursing the government officials as inhuman and saying they were risking their lives to be killed by the barbarians.
"How could this happen? Why can't you give us a way to survive?"
Grandma Zhao looked at her young children and cried bitterly.
Zhang and Li Shulan were also secretly wiping away tears.
Lin Shuo, Lin Yiheng, and the others looked dejected.
"Uncle, brother, don't be sad. We'll definitely get out of this city," Lin Yinan said calmly.
Seeing the chaos ahead, Lin Yiheng said, "Little sister, things are in a mess up ahead."
"Brother, the more chaotic the better. Go and inform the village chief that once the city gates open, we should quickly take advantage of the chaos to leave the city," Lin Yinan hurriedly reminded the two.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Lin Yiheng's eyes were bloodshot, and he took off running towards the front of the group.
"The city gates will open?" Old Mrs. Zhao asked in disbelief.
Lin Yinan said confidently, "It will definitely open; no one wants to stay and die."
Even if she doesn't want to turn it on, she'll find a way to make it turn on.
There are still dozens of miniature bombs in the space; at worst, she can just blow a few holes in the city wall.
At the city gate, the conflict between the soldiers defending the city and the civilians had reached a fever pitch.
Many soldiers had their heads broken or were tied up and left aside. After Yun Er joined the fight, he even captured the general who was good at martial arts.
The young and strong men took this opportunity to open the city gates.
Just as the city gates opened, a signal flare exploded in the sky.
Yun Er realized something was wrong and quickly shouted in the ranks.
"Something's wrong! The soldiers have fired a signal flare, reinforcements will be here soon, everyone get out of the city quickly!"
In an instant, everyone rushed to the city gate, which was immediately blocked.
Yun Er sighed and had no choice but to direct everyone to form four lines and quickly leave the city.
When Lin Yiheng returned, the team ahead was already moving quickly.
Lin Yinan also saw the signal flare in mid-air and felt secretly anxious, hoping that the reinforcements would not arrive so soon.
Half of the people from Linjia Village were still in town, and the sound of soldiers' synchronized footsteps could already be heard on the streets of the town.
A powerful voice rang out, "Anyone who trespasses on the city gates will be killed without mercy!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Three consecutive loud bangs, deafening and echoing through the sky.
