Divorced woman with child travels through time

Without even glancing over, Xiao Hao swiftly fired his crossbow in the instant they passed each other, accurately striking a horse in the eye. The men, who were about to mount their horses with knives in hand, were startled and jumped back, causing chaos among the horses.

Chen Xuanyu and his men took the opportunity to run far away. By the time the men had regained control of their horses and chased after them, they had already put a considerable distance between them.

"Watch out behind you!" Chen Xuanyu focused on driving; the lives of everyone in the car were in his hands, so he dared not let his guard down.

"Don't worry!" Xiao Hao led the horse with one hand, his legs gripping the horse's belly as if walking on flat ground.

Another moment passed.

"Brother, they're catching up!" Fifteen looked back and saw that he and Xiao Hao were standing side by side behind the carriage, guarding it.

"Hold on tight! Giddy up!" Chen Xuanyu impatiently slapped the horse's belly. "Neigh!" The horse, startled, galloped off.

There was a chorus of shouts inside the car, but things quickly calmed down again.

Xiao Hao spurred his horse and caught up with the carriage, putting some distance between them and the bandits behind them. However, since the carriage was carrying many people, the horse soon slowed down again.

"What do we do? They're catching up again!" Fifteen asked with a troubled expression, glancing back at the men waving their arms and shouting arrogantly behind them.

"This won't do, you guys go first! I'll go stop them!" Xiao Hao frowned and glanced behind him. There were only six people, and he only had four crossbows left, which wasn't enough, but he could try his luck.

"Take this one!" Fifteen also thought of this, and with one hand untied the crossbow from his arm and tossed it to him!

"Be careful!" Chen Xuanyu turned around and reminded him.

The carriage was still speeding along! Xiao Hao spurred his horse and turned around, then "whoosh!" fired a small crossbow!

The opposing team seemed to have been on guard against this move all along, and they actually managed to create some distance between themselves, allowing several people to dodge it during the exchange.

No, it's still too far away.

Xiao Hao pulled on the reins, and the horse slowed down. He glanced back; there were about five horse lengths of horse. "Just a moment longer, one, two, three! Now!" He suddenly flipped over and lay back on the horse's back, stretching his hands behind him. "Whoosh!"

The crossbow bolt shot out swiftly. At that moment, the men were only three horse lengths away from him. The crossbow accurately struck one of the men in the throat, and the unfortunate fellow instantly fell off his horse.

"brother!"

Upon seeing this, the leader of the group, dressed in black, immediately became alert and said, "Everyone be careful! This kid's got some skills!"

Xiao Hao, however, had already turned around, spurred his horse, and galloped forward again.

The group didn't dare to go too far ahead, but they didn't want to give up either, so they dragged themselves behind. When Xiao Hao slowed down, they slowed down too.

After trying twice more, Xiao Hao figured it out and deliberately slowed down, letting Chen Xuanyu and the others run further and further away.

"Brother, what should we do? This won't do! We'll lose that whole cart of good goods!" The hemp-clad shop assistant looked at the departing carriage with heartache.

"They can't escape. The boss sent a carrier pigeon; someone's waiting for them at the next town entrance!" the black-clad henchman chuckled maliciously. "First, grab this kid. He dared to kill our brothers; break his arms and legs, and we'll teach him a lesson!"

"Great!" the waiter exclaimed excitedly.

Meanwhile, Chen Xuanyu drove the carriage at a fast pace until he finally saw no one behind him. He stopped urging the horse on and breathed a sigh of relief, but then he started to worry about Xiao Hao.

But lives were at stake, and thankfully the official road was fast, and there were many people in the distance, so the town entrance should be ahead.

"Fifteen, take them to find the soldiers later. I'll go back and get Ahao! I'm worried about him being alone!" Chen Xuanyu pulled on the reins, slowing the horse down.

"Okay!" Fifteen readily agreed.

Finally, the carriage came to a near stop at the town entrance. Chen Xuanyu looked around and sensed something was amiss. There were about twenty grown men, and their eyes were all looking at them strangely. Moreover, they seemed to be secretly watching them.

Fifteen also noticed, and looked at Chen Xuanyu with some questions.

The chubby boy poked his head out of the carriage and asked, "Have we arrived yet?"

"Huh?" He turned his head and saw the owner of the teahouse at the entrance of town, and immediately exclaimed, "Run! They're in cahoots!"

Chen Xuanyu reacted extremely quickly, whipping the horse and pulling the rope in one smooth motion, but he was still a step too late.

"Trying to run? No way!" the boss roared. "Get them!"

Several men rushed forward and pounced on the horse, startling it again, but they managed to pull it back.

"Ouch!" Chen Xuanyu didn't care about any of that. Taking advantage of his height on horseback, he pulled out his whip and lashed the face of the man who came to capture him, specifically targeting his eyes.

"Ahhh! My eyes!" The man let go of his hands, covered his eyes, and fell to the ground screaming, his body curled up in pain.

Seeing this, the others quickly dispersed. Fifteen took the opportunity to approach, jumped onto the carriage, drew his dagger, and stood back to back with Chen Xuanyu, confronting them. This caused no one to dare to come up and arrest them, but they still surrounded them.

"Damn, this kid's hands are vicious!" the man who looked like the boss exclaimed in astonishment. "Get the knife and kill these two chicks!"

"Clang!" The group of people pulled out different knives from the haystacks in the corner, behind the door, and next to the pillar.

Upon seeing this, the people who had set up stalls to watch the show at the town entrance immediately dispersed.

A glint flashed in Chen Xuanyu's eyes as he pondered how to kill about twenty people and escape!

As soon as those men drew their knives, they slowly surrounded them.

The long sword, as white as silver, gleamed coldly as it approached. Chen Xuanyu glanced at Fifteen, who returned a reassuring look.

Perhaps they felt the child was too ruthless and seemed to have some martial arts skills, fearing that too many of their brothers might die.

The man who looked like the teahouse owner spoke up, "You two lads, if you obediently surrender, I, Old Luo, can guarantee you won't die! How about it?"

"Hmph, really?" Chen Xuanyu looked at him coldly and smiled, pointing his hand at him. "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure! I, Lao Luo, guarantee it!" Lao Luo, not understanding what was going on, patted his chest and gave him a fake smile.

"That's great, thank you!" As soon as Chen Xuanyu finished speaking, the small crossbow in his arm shot out! "Whoosh!" With a short whistling sound, Old Luo slowly fell down, with disbelief still in his eyes.

"Boss!" all the men shouted in unison. This kid is too cunning.

"Kill them and avenge our boss!" This really angered the crowd, and more than a dozen long knives came crashing down on the two children.

"Giddy up!" Chen Xuanyu spurred his horse at the right moment. The horse, already terrified by the long sword, crashed into the wall and knocked down the two people in front of it, then ran straight ahead. The long sword missed its target and struck the carriage instead.

"Trying to run!" One of the men, Lao Luo's son, reacted extremely quickly. Seeing that he had missed, he immediately flung the knife forward with red eyes, scrambled up, and hung on the carriage. The long knife narrowly grazed Shiwu's head, knocking off his hair tie.

The other men weren't quick enough to react, and after missing their first strike, they could only chase after the carriage.
