After time travel, share a space with your modern family.

As Ruan Mumu and his entourage, riding warhorses, slowly entered the entrance of Jinwan Village, the once peaceful and tranquil village was instantly plunged into astonishment and panic.

To test the guards' reaction time and raise their vigilance, Ruan Mumu specifically instructed Wuwei Zhenren to drive the carriage at a distance from the rest of the group, maintaining a safe distance.

Ruan Mumu, Qiao Tinghao, and Liu Ziyun followed behind the group and entered Jinwan Village together.

Of course, all three of them were wearing makeup, so even though they were dressed differently, no one could recognize them.

The villagers who happened to be working at the village entrance stared wide-eyed at the sudden arrival of the unfamiliar group, as if they had seen a group of people with ill intentions.

The person on duty at the village entrance saw the approaching person and immediately picked up a whistle to signal that a stranger had arrived.

Not long after, the patrol team from Jinwan Village arrived at the village entrance upon hearing the news.

Meanwhile, a large group of villagers had gathered at the village entrance.

The leader was a middle-aged man named He Yang. He was burly, with a dignified expression, and his eyes scrutinized the group of uninvited guests with piercing gaze.

He straightened up and asked loudly, "May I ask who you gentlemen are? And what brings you to my Jinwan Village?"

His voice was loud and powerful, carrying an undeniable air of authority.

Before entering the village, Qiao Tinghao had discussed with Qiao Zuoyi that their purpose for this trip was not only to provide assistance, but also to take this opportunity to test the actual capabilities of the guard team and their reaction speed in the event of an emergency.

After all, only through actual combat can we truly understand the strength of this team.

Faced with He Yang's question, Qiao Zuoyi, as the leader of this operation, stepped forward without hesitation.

He bowed respectfully and replied firmly, "We have come under orders, entrusted by my general, to assist your village in strengthening its defenses."

His words revealed a sense of confidence and responsibility.

However, He Yang did not readily believe this explanation.

He frowned slightly and continued to press, "May I ask who this general you speak of is? Do you have any relevant documents?"

Clearly, he was highly wary of these outsiders.

According to regulations, any stranger wishing to enter Jinwan Village must present valid identification documents; otherwise, they will not be allowed entry.

This is not only to ensure the safety of the village, but also a necessary measure to maintain order.

“What should you do if we don’t have the necessary documents?” Qiao Zuoyi continued to ask.

"If you don't have the necessary documents, please go back and get them before you come back!" He Yang showed no intention of backing down; the instructor had said that principles must be upheld.

"If we force our way in, what can you do to me?" Qiao Zuoyi suddenly said with a wicked smile.

"Are you here to cause trouble?" He Yang's expression hardened when he saw Qiao Zuoyi's attitude.

Then he winked at the people around him, and they immediately ran towards the village.

"No matter how many people you call, it's useless. Show us your true skills. If we lose, we won't enter the village," Qiao Zuoyi continued to provoke.

He Yang completely ignored his provocation and looked at them coldly.

Before long, the people who had just left returned with a group of guards. They all carried weapons meant for emergency use and surrounded the village entrance.

Other villagers who had come over also consciously carried hoes, shovels, and other farm tools and stood behind the guard team.

Seeing that things were about to escalate, Qiao Tinghao came up from behind.

"Don't hurt the villagers." He deliberately changed his voice so the villagers wouldn't realize it was him.

Qiao Zuo shouted to the men in the group, "Brothers, listen to my command! Since their village leader can't understand us today, let's show them what we're capable of. Lay down your weapons, just make sure you don't injure any vital organs."

After saying this, he hung his sword on the saddle, and the others followed suit.

The guards of Jinwan Village, seeing that the other side had so consciously placed their weapons on the ground, couldn't help but think to themselves: if they rashly used their weapons at this moment, it would probably cause a bloodbath and kill people!

Thinking of this, they followed suit and voluntarily let go of their weapons, handing them over to the villagers behind them for safekeeping.

At this moment, the disparity in strength between the two sides is enormous—Qiao Tinghao's guards number only thirty-eight.

Even including him, Ruan Mumu, and Liu Ziqu, the total number was only forty-one.

However, on the other hand, Jinwan Village has more than eighty guards! Such a huge difference in numbers is truly astonishing.

The villagers, seeing that Qiao Zuoyi and his men appeared to be regular soldiers trained in the military camp, were initially very worried about their village's guard team.

Initially, Qiao Tinghao, Ruan Mumu, and Liu Ziyun remained hidden behind the thirty-eight guards, not making a move easily.

After all, Qiao Zuo and his group had been through countless battles and had been tempered on the battlefield. Even when facing the enemy's surging crowd, they showed no fear.

So everyone chose to fight bare-handed, engaging in a thrilling contest with the guards of Jinwan Village.

Qiao Zuo thought to himself that with his superior strength and rich combat experience, defeating these guys from Jinwan Village would be a piece of cake.

To his surprise, when the battle truly reached its climax, he was astonished to find that the tactics employed by this guard team were so unpredictable and elusive!

Unbeknownst to them, the guards were trained in close-quarters combat, and Qiao Tinghao had also provided them with tactical training.

Therefore, despite the exceptional strength of Qiao Zuoyi and his group, the guards still hadn't won after half an hour.

However, Qiao Zuoyi watched for a long time without any stalemate. Relying on his superior martial arts skills and following the principle of "capture the king first to catch the thief," he captured He Yang.

Just as everyone was at a loss, a round of applause came from behind Qiao Zuoyi and the others, and then three unfamiliar faces walked out.

Qiao Tinghao switched to his usual voice: "Everyone performed very well today, especially team leader He Yang, who performed exceptionally well."

Qiao Zuoyi had already released He Yang and retreated back to his own team.

When He Yang returned to his team, he was feeling dejected. Suddenly, he heard his instructor praising him. He looked up abruptly, only to see an unfamiliar face.

"So it was the instructors testing the guards!" A murmur of surprise rippled through the villagers behind them.

"Instructors, I've let you down," He Yang said, looking at Qiao Tinghao.

Qiao Tinghao didn't comfort him, but said seriously, "Where there's room for improvement, you can work on it slowly yourself."

Then he shouted the command to the guards: "Attention!"
