Simultaneous time travel, starting from Little Li Flying Dagger

As the sun rose in the east and its golden rays peeked out from the horizon, the entrance to the county town was already bustling with activity and filled with the sounds of people.

Ordinary people going about their business, soldiers guarding the city, and yamen runners patrolling the streets... everyone was gathered around the city gate, eagerly waiting.

The news that a brave man had killed a tiger caused a sensation throughout the county.

When Chuk led the tiger-hunting team into view, exclamations of surprise instantly echoed throughout the city tower.

"This tiger even has two pairs of wings! It's practically a demon!"

"No wonder it could eat so many people, tsk tsk tsk, this beast looks like it weighs at least a thousand pounds!"

"A thousand catties? Three thousand catties is more like it!"

"..."

Chuk was surrounded by the crowd at the front, but his pace slowed down as he got closer to the city gate.

It's not that I'm afraid to return home...

"Such glory is something I never achieved even after many years of fishing in my past life."

Chuk shook his head and sneered inwardly.

So that's what it feels like.

Amidst the exclamations of the crowd, Chu Ke and his group had already arrived at the entrance of the county government office.

Hearing the commotion in the hall, the county magistrate, who was still nestled in his bed with his concubine in his arms, almost thought that a tiger had broken into the county government office.

"With such noise, are they treating my county government office like a vegetable market?"

"What happened... Oh my god!"

When Magistrate Meng Yi arrived at the main hall dressed in his robes, he was horrified to see the enormous, brocade-haired tiger. He nearly lost his footing.

"Mr. Qiu... your tiger-hunting team actually killed a tiger!"

You are truly the greatest benefactors of all the people of Yanggu County! On behalf of all the elders of the county, I thank you all for your righteous deeds!

Meng Yi came to his senses and immediately burst into tears in front of Old Qiu.

"Magistrate Meng should thank Chu Ke," Old Man Qiu waved his hand and added, "It's all thanks to Brother Chu that this fierce tiger was killed."

Meng Yi immediately stepped forward and carefully examined Chu Ke.

"Does Your Excellency possess any extraordinary abilities?"

Meng Yi pondered to himself that Chu Ke seemed far less imposing than the man beside him, but he must have some extraordinary abilities to kill this tiger by himself.

Therefore, he did not underestimate him, but wanted to see what Chuk was capable of, so as to arrange a suitable position for this strongman as a reward.

Chuk pointed at the tiger's head and smiled, "I have the ability to control fire."

There really is some extraordinary skill involved!

When Meng Yi saw the tiger's head, which was mostly charred, he immediately believed what Chu Ke had said.

Overjoyed, he said, "The world is in turmoil, and this is a time of great upheaval. Foreign tribes beyond the borders are eyeing us covetously. This is the perfect time for the court to recruit talented individuals to jointly support the nation."

"Why don't you, brave Chu, temporarily serve as a county lieutenant in my office? If there's a recruitment order from above in the future, I'll recommend you for a higher position."

County Commandant?

Chu Ke thought to himself, this is a level higher than the position of captain that Wu Song got in the original story.

Is this because I possess "extraordinary abilities"?

Chuk, of course, did not refuse. This was the first identity he had obtained in this chaotic world.

Then the magistrate gave Chu Ke a few cups of wine and a thousand strings of cash, which the county had collected as a reward, as a reward to Chu Ke.

This thousand strings of cash could be exchanged for a thousand taels of silver, which would be worth four hundred thousand RMB in his previous life. But Chu Ke was not greedy and distributed the reward money to the hunters in the hall.

Under Qiu Lao's organization and distribution, including the tiger-hunting teammates and the families of the victims, everyone could get five or six strings of cash. The remaining five hundred strings of cash were stuffed into Chu Ke's arms by Qiu Lao.

Having done his duty, Chu Ke was entitled to what was left. Without further ado, he immediately announced that a banquet would be held that evening at the Lion Tower, the premier restaurant in Guyang County.

"Brother Wu, you're coming tonight too!"

As the crowd dispersed, Chu Ke grasped Wu Song's hand and spoke.

Wu Song gave a wry smile. "Brother Chu invited me, and I was determined to go, but I have to find my elder brother. It would be too much of a shame to leave him behind to come looking for you tonight."

Chu Ke shook his head and smiled, grasped Wu Song's hands, and said:

"There's no need for Brother Wu to decide this. Why don't you just bring your elder brother along tonight?"

Wu Song was somewhat taken aback.

"Such enthusiasm? My older brother has never met him before, yet he invited him too?"

Those attending the banquet hosted by the County Magistrate of Chu tonight are either those who contributed to the anti-corruption campaign or those who are extremely wealthy and powerful in Yanggu County.

What have I done to deserve this?

Wu Song had been staying at Chai Jin's manor for over a year and had endured a lot of cold treatment. Now, when he met Chu Ke, he was somewhat taken aback by Chu Ke's enthusiasm.

Wu Song withdrew his hand, his lips parted as if he wanted to say something, but he stopped himself.

He thought of the men in Chai Jin's manor who had homosexual tendencies.

Chu Ke then realized that his gaze was probably too intense and had frightened Wu Song.

To avoid arousing his suspicion, Chuck quickly explained:

"Brother Wu, you don't know this, although I have now become a county magistrate, I am still a newcomer here, and I don't have any capable confidants in Yanggu County."

At this point, Chuk sighed.

You should understand what I'm thinking now, right? Wu Er, oh Wu Er.

Wu Song's expression immediately relaxed. So, he wanted me to help out and be his assistant.

I thought...

Wu Song immediately replied, "I had already planned to settle in Yanggu County. If you, brother, would be so kind as to grant me this honor, I would be eternally grateful!"

Chuk breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said happily:

"In that case, I will take you to find your elder brother."

"Also, don't be too surprised when you meet your sister-in-law..."

............

"Tiger penis?"

"Where am I supposed to find that tiger penis? Oh, right, there's a man-eating tiger on Jingyang Ridge. Does that mean I have to go hunt it?"

At the southern end of Lion Street in Yanggu County, there is a grand and luxurious mansion with a shop in the front and a residence in the back, and a house to the east and a garden to the west. It is one of the most prestigious mansions of wealthy merchants in the county.

A burly official, adorned with a flower hairpin and dressed in fine clothes, stared angrily at the letter in his hand.

The butler beside him advised at the opportune moment:

"My lord, please calm down! This is a golden opportunity. Prime Minister Cai is currently searching far and wide for tiger penis. If we seize this chance to present it to him, regardless of the reward, the mere act of presenting it to him will be enough to establish ourselves as his trusted confidant!"

The official glanced at him coldly and said angrily:

"Do you think I, Ximen Qing, don't understand the implications?"

"My question is, where can one find this tiger penis?"

The butler, however, remained calm and continued:

"My lord, you may not know this, but the ferocious tiger that plagued Jingyang Ridge has already been killed, and its carcass has been taken to the Yanggu County government office for safekeeping."

"Oh?" Ximen Qing's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Do you know who killed him and when?"

The steward chuckled, "Don't worry, sir, it's fresh. It was hunted by Chuk this morning. Everyone in the county saw that tiger this morning."

Ximen Qing nodded; it turned out to be morning.

I should have spent the night at the flower shop on Zishi Street.

That man didn't know how to cherish a woman; he would go and tend to his flowers and plants in the middle of the night, leaving that beautiful woman alone in her boudoir.

Thankfully, I have myself... I've gotten a bit off-topic.

Ximen Qing immediately asked:

Do you know where Chuk is now?

The steward replied, "He has been promoted to the position of County Commandant of Chu, and a banquet will be held at the Lion Tower tonight."
