Divorced woman with child travels through time

It turned out that Liu Yizhi had arrived ahead of time, and Yang Shouzhen's dozens of soldiers had gone off to slack off somewhere, so they didn't notice Liu Yizhi at all.

When Liu Yizhi saw the box, he was furious. They could even take his entire fortune? That good-for-nothing Zhang Tianming!

"Brothers, take them down! Kill the soldiers and steal our money back! I'll distribute it to everyone! Charge!" Liu Yizhi's eyes were bloodshot with rage. All the money I worked so hard to earn was so easily stolen! He completely lost his composure and led the charge against the soldiers.

Seeing the men rushing towards him, Yang Shouzhen had no choice but to confront them, knowing he couldn't let the prize slip away. Although he didn't want to fight, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

"Brothers, wipe them out, then go home and divide the silver!" Yang Shouzhen shouted weakly.

The two groups quickly started fighting. Wang Erniu was only responsible for watching Yang Shouzhen. He was extremely skilled in martial arts and quickly killed two bandits who tried to ambush Yang Shouzhen. Yang Shouzhen was deeply moved and began to fight wildly, showing great courage.

Lu Xiong and Wang Hanyang led a group of new recruits to observe from the grass nearby, while also teaching them how to fight. They decided to wait until the recruits had fought enough before leading them up to clean up the battlefield.

Upon seeing Wang Erniu's ferocity, the bandits became somewhat intimidated. Beside Liu Yizhi was another young man, presumably a skilled fighter he had hired, who had single-handedly killed several government soldiers. The two exchanged glances. "It's you!" Both realized that they needed to deal with the person in front of them first, so they turned directly to Wang Erniu and began their attack!

When masters clash, every move can be fatal. People nearby quickly left the area where the two might hurt each other. Even Yang Shouzhen ran away, afraid of the young man's sword. Only the two of them remained fighting.

Wang Erniu used a broadsword, just like Brother Nie, while the young man used a sword. The swords clashed and moved in unison. As fate would have it, the young man flicked his longsword, bending low to aim straight for Wang Erniu's lower back.

"He's trying to stab me in the kidneys!" Wang Erniu remembered Chen Wenfang pointing and saying he had good kidneys and was very capable at work. He dodged the attack by stepping to the side, parried the sword with his knife, and then slashed straight at the young man's shoulder. The young man gracefully twisted his body, lightly blocked with his sword, and immediately dodged the broadsword, then swiftly retreated into the distance. "What strength!" the young man thought to himself, his hands trembling slightly.

Wang Erniu's strike naturally missed its mark, the blade and sword exchanging sparks side by side, "Clang..."

The young man realized he was no match for Wang Erniu and thought to himself, "It seems I can't defeat him by force; I'll have to take him down myself!" With that, he leaped upwards, his long sword aimed straight at Wang Erniu's forehead. He was extremely agile, as nimble as a fish, always choosing unusual and tricky angles to fight Wang Erniu, aiming for his eyes, ears, nose, or temples. Only upon closer inspection would one realize that if one were to be accidentally stabbed, each strike would be fatal.

Wang Erniu noticed his unusual behavior and didn't use force, only lightly striking back to avoid being stabbed. After another cup of tea's time, the surrounding government soldiers had been almost completely defeated, some dead, some wounded, lying on the ground. Only Yang Shouzhen was left, being dragged along by more than twenty brothers to fight against Liu Yizhi and his group. He was also half wounded and half maimed. It seemed that the government soldiers were still no match for these mountain bandits.

Seeing that the two were still fighting, Liu Yi was furious. Many of his men were dead. Finally, he snapped out of his daze and shouted, "Stop fighting! Come here!" He didn't finish his sentence; we had to run...

As they spoke, Wang Hanyang led his men around the bushes and then charged up the mountain again, shouting as they ran, "Sir, we're here to help you! Charge! Fight the bandits and share the silver..." In fact, they had only brought about twenty men with them this time, plus a few of their own, which didn't seem like many. However, Liu Yizhi had been beaten and was badly injured. There were quite a few people in the village ahead, but they were all tied up and watching the show.

Seeing this, Yang Shouzhen was greatly encouraged and shouted, "Let's all work together and kill these thieves..." The crowd instantly perked up and charged towards Liu Yizhi.

The young man was running towards Liu Yizhi. Wang Erniu tried to stop him, but he was too fast to stop him.

In an instant, he was driven to Liu Yizhi's side, and then three more soldiers were lost. Yang Shouzhen felt a pang of heartache. These were all soldiers he had bought with his own money. Although they weren't very good, at least they didn't run away when there was danger.

As they were talking, Wang Erniu arrived and, together with Wang Hanyang and Lü Xiong, surrounded Liu Yizhi and the others.

A young man blocked Liu Yizhi's path, watching them warily. Seeing this, Liu Yizhi considered the situation and said, "Gentlemen, you've come here surely for money. How about we discuss and do some business?"

With power firmly in his grasp, Yang Shouzhen was certain the money was his. He then said, "What kind of business can you do? You're now meat in our hands, you can't escape. Quickly kneel down and surrender."

Liu Yizhi smiled contemptuously, neither humble nor arrogant, and said, "What you want is money, sir. I see you've tied up all of us brothers, so you're probably not here to take lives. Even so, how about we cooperate? You can take this money, and I'll give you 50,000 taels every year from now on. You just need to let us brothers go."

Yang Shouzhen remained silent, pondering. Fifty thousand taels wasn't bad, and he didn't even have to lift a finger. It was just a bit too little...

Wang Erniu looked at the two men with an ambiguous smile in his eyes. Wang Hanyang cursed Liu Yizhi in his heart, "You scoundrel, who are you trying to impress with your dignified demeanor? Damn it, you still want to continue to wreak havoc on this area." Lu Xiong looked at his two brothers' expressions and then at Yang Shouzhen's hesitant expression. "Damn it, this old bastard won't really agree to him, will he?"

Yang Shouzhen hesitated for a moment, then called Wang Erniu aside and whispered, "Erniu, look at the situation. We've already got the money, so there's no need to commit further killings. Why don't we just let them go?"

Wang Erniu's eyes held a meaningful look, his fists clenched, but he smiled and said, "As long as the general shares the money with me, it's no problem."

Yang Shouzhen laughed heartily, "Erniu, Erniu, I knew I wasn't wrong, you really are a talent."

Yang Shouzhen walked towards Liu Yizhi and said, "I've thought about it, and cooperation is possible. However, 50,000 taels a year is a bit too little. How about this, 80,000 taels of silver? If you agree, I'll release you. What do you say?"

A calculating glint appeared in Liu Yizhi's eyes as he bowed and said, "It's a deal!"

As Yang Shouzhen spoke, Wang Erniu quickly exchanged a glance with Wang Hanyang behind him, which allowed Wang Hanyang to restrain Lü Xiong, who was about to go berserk.

Although Lü Xiong had a fiery temper, he was also good at reading people's expressions. Seeing this, he held back. However, Chu Yi and Da Zhuang next to him couldn't hold back. They were young and said whatever they wanted.

"What's going on here?"

"Exactly! Then our men died for nothing! Why?"

"We can't let them get away with this; they even robbed our village before."
