Divorced woman with child travels through time

"Fourth Brother! Quick! Save me!" Cheng Changqing exclaimed excitedly, suddenly breaking free of his hands and shoving Wang Feng, who was tying him up.

Wang Feng was a little stunned and before he could react, Cheng Changqing ran away in an instant, and his men also broke free and ran to another place.

Wang Erniu looked over and saw a group of people approaching from afar, holding knives to someone's neck.

"Let him in!" Chu Yi roared. He recognized him immediately—it was Ren Mu! He had been kidnapped!

"What's going on!" The children immediately tensed up.

The soldiers, swords in hand, glared at Cheng Laosi and refused to move aside.

"Get out of the way, or I'll kill him! This pretty boy is still quite young; it wouldn't be good if he got disfigured." Old Cheng was short and had a face full of fat.

"What do you want?" Wang Erniu raised an eyebrow, his eyes narrowed, and a murderous intent rose within him.

"Release my brother! Let us go!" Cheng Laosi tightened his grip on the knife and pressed it down a few more times, leaving a bloody gash on Ren Mu's neck.

“Okay, let him go, but you must leave Quanzhou City from now on. You can’t show your faces here.” Wang Erniu agreed readily, but his eyes glanced at Chu Yi and he slightly moved his chin.

Chu Yi understood, and with his hands behind his back, he gestured three to the people behind him.

Wang Erniu glanced at Jiang Mingxin again.

Jiang Mingxin nodded subtly, while Ouyang Junyan remained oblivious, continuing to offer words of advice.

“Chief Cheng, your son shouldn’t have abducted a young man in the street and shot General Wang’s servant. He was in the wrong. Brother Chen had no choice but to kill him. You should be more reasonable. Put down your knife now, and I will plead for you.”

It would have been better if this hadn't been mentioned, because the more Cheng Changqing talked about it, the angrier he became. He got furious just looking at Ren Mu's face.

He picked up a long knife from the ground, intending to use it for self-defense first.

Cheng Lao Si looked at Cheng Chang Qing, "How about it? Brother, let's go!"

"You can leave, but this man must die! He's the one who killed my son." Cheng Changqing glared at Ren Mu with murderous intent, wishing he could tear him apart.

"Brother, this won't do. If he dies, we won't be able to leave!" Old Cheng was somewhat sober.

Ren Mu watched anxiously as the children moved forward, and couldn't help but say, "General Wang, I am not worth dying for, you need not concern yourself with me, but do not let these beasts go! Kill them!"

His resolute face showed no fear, only gritted teeth and hatred.

"What are you saying!" Old Cheng was terrified and slapped him with the handle of his knife.

With a "whoosh," Ren Mu's head was broken and bleeding profusely, his hair falling down, the blood flowing across his snow-white skin, adding to his beauty.

Cheng Changqing thought to himself, no wonder his son likes it so much.

"General Wang, don't listen to his nonsense. As long as you let us go, I, Cheng, promise that I will never set foot in Quanzhou again!"

Wang Erniu remained silent, only looking at Cheng Changqing.

Seeing this, Cheng Lao Si became anxious and looked at Cheng Chang Qing, "Right, brother!"

Cheng Changqing glared at Wang Erniu with hatred, but said something he didn't mean, "General, don't worry, if I leave, I will never come to Quanzhou again."

Wang Erniu smiled faintly, "Chief Cheng must keep his word."

"Let them go!" Wang Erniu waved his hand, and the soldiers silently made way again.

Cheng Changqing and Cheng Laosi slowly retreated, step by step.

They finally broke out of the encirclement.

Cheng Laosi was escorting Ren Mu slowly, and since they were walking backwards, and Chu Yi and Wang Feng were watching them intently, they were retreating even slower.

"Don't come any closer!" Cheng Laosi was extremely anxious. "Brother, you go first, I'll be there in a bit."

"If we're going to leave, we'll leave together!" Cheng Changqing was still not satisfied, and his eyes were very gloomy as he looked at Ren Mu.

"That's enough! You're safe now, release them!" Wang Erniu and the others had been following them closely, watching them retreat steadily, keeping a distance of several meters to prevent them from hurting anyone.

"I'm not at ease with him. I have to take him with me and only release him when we reach a safe place," Cheng Laosi said, pushing his luck.

“That’s not what you said just now.” Wang Erniu stopped laughing, looked at him, and raised his hand.

"Swish, swish, swish!" Hundreds of archers raised their bows, their chilling arrows aimed at them.

"I've already said I'll let him go when I get there, don't force me!" Cheng Laosi was desperate, his facial muscles twitching as he pressed the knife against Ren Mu's neck even deeper.

"Ugh!" Ren Mu groaned as blood flowed down his neck onto his snow-white clothes, instantly turning them a bright red stain, a shocking sight.

"Father!" Chen Xuanyu cried out anxiously.

"Give me the bow!" Wang Erniu said, his face ashen, and the archer beside him immediately handed him the longbow.

Without saying a word, Wang Erniu drew his bow and aimed at Cheng Laosi, saying, "I hate being threatened more than anything in my life. I'll say it again, let him go!"

Cheng Lao Si finally got scared and tentatively tried to loosen his grip, but Cheng Chang Qing saw this and shouted, "Lao Si, don't let go! He won't let us leave!"

A single word jolted him awake. Cheng Laosi quickly withdrew his long knife, and Ren Mu's face turned deathly pale, as if he were about to collapse at any moment.

Chen Xuanyu could no longer hold back and rushed out, shouting, "Let him go!"

In an instant, the long arrow in Wang Erniu's hand flew out and accurately hit Cheng Laosi's forehead.

"Uh!" Cheng Laosi was a little distracted when he saw the child who suddenly appeared in front of him. Hmm, why does my head hurt a little?

He then realized that he had been shot with an arrow.

Everything happened so suddenly.

"Uh!"

"Ah~" It was like a barrage of arrows. Hundreds of crossbowmen fired their arrows at the same time. The distance was short, only about ten meters. Cheng Changqing's men were riddled with holes and died in a very gruesome manner. The ground was covered in blood.

Cheng Laosi lay on the ground, staring at the sky. He was riddled with dozens of arrows, and several short crossbow bolts were still in his arms. Wasn't it agreed that he would be spared? He shouldn't have hesitated; if he had listened to General Wang and laid down his sword, he might not have died...

Cheng Changqing also died tragically in the incident.

Ouyang Junyan shook his head. "Sigh," he sighed. "Everyone told me to surrender, but I wouldn't listen. This is my fate..."

"Someone, clean this place up. Burn the body tomorrow. On the first day of the month, go with Lord Ouyang's men and raid the Canal Gang. You're in charge of dealing with the Canal Gang from now on!"

Wang Erniu handed the bow to the guard beside him, walked up to Cheng Changqing, and kicked his motionless body. "Bury him. He was a hero of his time, what a pity. His son is a disappointment!"

As the soldiers swept the streets, the little eunuch under the shade of a tree at the intersection watched in terror and ran away timidly.

"Father-in-law, father-in-law, something terrible has happened!"

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a panic?" Xilu was fast asleep.

"Something's happened. That canal gang has been busted, and they're ransacking their place right now," the little eunuch whispered in his ear.

"What!" Xilu sat up abruptly, breaking out in a cold sweat.
