Time Travel: The Foolish Lady is Forced to Become a Female General

It was the height of summer, and several of the men were dressed in simple clothes, with some shocking scars faintly visible on their bodies.

They were holding sticks in their hands, but they didn't look like ordinary thugs.

A gloomy gleam flashed across Mu Jinyu's eyes. He didn't want to cause any trouble, nor did he want to irritate his sister's emotions.

So he took out ten taels of silver and handed them over: "This is enough for your food money for a month. If you have hands and feet, do something legitimate to make a living."

The leader of the four bowed his head and took the silver. Things went unexpectedly smoothly.

They made way without saying anything else. Mu Jinyu protected Xia Qin and Xiaoyu by his side and walked away vigilantly without looking at them again.

In order to help Xia Qin recover her memory, they walked around the streets of places they often visited when they were children, and then Mu Jinyu took them back to their ancestral home.

The ancestral home of the Mu family has been managed by an uncle from the same family named Mu Cheng over the years.

"Xiao Yan, this is Uncle Five."

Xia Qin had no expression on her face and greeted him mechanically: "Hello, Uncle Wu."

"Jinyu, you have to be careful when you go out. The taxes have been too heavy in recent years. There are refugees everywhere. In addition, the yamen runners are understaffed. The public security in Pengzhou City has been much worse in recent years."

Mu Jinyu nodded, "Fifth Uncle, nothing happened at home in the past two years, right?"

"Everything is fine. According to the eldest brother's instructions, except for thirty acres of the Mu family's land reserved for food, the rest are rented out to nearby people for free. People nearby also know that there is no property in this ancestral home," Mu Cheng approached Mu Jinyu and lowered his voice, "I think Jinyan is much better than before."

"Yeah, much better. By the way, my father and I may have to stay a few more days this time."

"My eldest brother told me, you guys should just stay here. In my opinion, there is nothing good in the capital, so it's better not to go back."

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Uncle Wu."

Upon hearing the news, the prefect of Pengzhou City and the magistrate of Wuyuan County where they were located came to pay a visit to Mu Lie as soon as possible, but Mu Lie wanted to have some quiet time, so they were sent away after a few simple courtesies.

Although the days in the hometown are monotonous, they are relaxing and comfortable, whether it is for Xia Qin or Mu Lie and Mu Jinyu. They no longer have to worry about the trivial matters in the court and the mansion, and their hearts are much calmer.

Xiaoyu boils some nourishing Chinese medicine for Xia Qin every day, and Xia Qin also teaches Xiaoyu some grappling and fighting techniques every day.

Relaxed days always pass faster, and before I knew it, half a month had gone by.

On this day, Xia Qin was practicing the martial arts taught by Mo Ye in the open space south of the ancestral home, while instructing Xiaoyu on some martial arts moves that he had learned in the special forces in his previous life.

Mu Lie and Mu Jinyu stood on the two-story wooden building in the distance and watched quietly. This was their regular daily routine. From being shocked at the beginning, they have slowly gotten used to it.

"Father, Xiaoyan's skills look so strange. They are more skill-oriented than military drills, but not as complicated as martial arts moves. Moreover, Xiaoyan's eyes are even more ruthless when he practices than those of ordinary soldiers."

"Yu'er, you don't need to be so meticulous about everything. Yan'er is in much better health now. Look at her skills, she is more than capable of self-defense. Her mental state is getting better day by day. To be honest, we have to thank that guy named Mo Ye. He is Yan'er's lucky star." Mu Lie looked at Xia Qin in the distance with relief in his eyes.

"Speaking of Mo Ye, I have asked around but still can't figure out his exact origins. I only know that when he was in his teens, he went around learning martial arts from masters. His martial arts skills were pretty good, but his whereabouts were erratic and no one knew what he was doing."

Mu Lie glanced at Mu Jinyu and smiled helplessly: "Yu'er, you are still investigating. Everything has its destiny. His apprentice Xiaoyu is here. He will eventually show up. Maybe the truth will be revealed by then."

Xiaoyu practiced for an hour, panting and sitting down against a tree: "Sister, I can't do it anymore, I'm so tired, I need to rest!"

"Are you tired at this point?" Xia Qin sat beside her and chuckled as she repeated what her instructor often said when she was in the special forces, "Sweat more in peacetime, and bleed less in battle!"

The scenes of those years of hard training emerged in her mind, and she felt a trace of nostalgia in her heart.

Xiaoyu rubbed her arms and asked, "Sister, you have been training for a whole day, I can't compete with you. By the way, sister, I have been training for a month, can I beat a Xiongnu soldier?"

"Hun soldiers?"

This question stumped Xia Qin. In this strange world, she had only fought with Wei Wu and that useless playboy Qin Zhengran, and neither of them looked like people with any kung fu skills.

He had seen Mo Ye's skills, but his martial arts should be very high and had no reference value. While he was thinking about it, several figures suddenly appeared not far away.

Xia Qin has seen these people before. They were the ones who stopped them on the street and asked for money a month ago. This time they came directly to their doorstep?

She thought to herself, ready for battle.

Xiaoyu also saw the people coming and whispered, "Sister, are these four people the ones who robbed us before?"

"Well, don't you want to test your skills? This is a good time. They don't have any weapons this time."

Seeing that the four people were almost in front of them, Xiaoyu immediately said seriously: "Well, sister, don't worry about it, let me test their skills."

"Ah? Let's ask them first..." Before Xia Qin finished her words, Xiaoyu rushed up with full energy.

The four people who were about to speak were stunned for a moment when they saw a little girl swinging her fist at them.

The leader wanted to press Xiaoyu's arm directly with his hand, but Xiaoyu dodged it nimbly, and at the same time curled up his right arm and hit him in the ribs with his elbow.

The man was hit due to carelessness and felt pain for a moment. He subconsciously grabbed Xiaoyu's left shoulder and threw him out.

This person was much stronger than Wei Wu and Qin Zhengran, and the power gap between the fourteen-year-old girl and the tall middle-aged man was too huge, not to mention that Xiaoyu had no practical experience at all.

When Xia Qin saw one of them walking towards the fallen Xiaoyu, he was so anxious that he didn't have time to think too much. He immediately rushed to the man and kicked him several meters away.

The other people were shocked and quickly surrounded him, but except for the leader who barely resisted a few moves, the others were dealt with by Xia Qin almost in the first encounter.

Although her current body is still somewhat inferior to that of her previous life, after Mo Ye's guidance and mastering internal energy, Xia Qin's speed and strength have been greatly improved.

Seeing this, Xiaoyu quickly climbed up. She bared her teeth and rubbed her butt gently. It seemed that nothing was wrong.

Mu Lie and Mu Jinyu rushed over quickly when they saw someone approaching, but in this short moment, Xia Qin had already dealt with the other person. The four of them lay on the ground groaning in pain. The father and son looked at each other, feeling relieved but also extremely surprised.

Seeing Mu Jinyu approaching, the leader said while enduring the pain: "General Mu, don't, don't misunderstand, we are here to inform you."
