Simultaneous time travel, starting from Little Li Flying Dagger

"Ah, it's Supervisor Chu!"

When Cheng Wanli saw Chu Ke enter the hall, he quickly went down to greet him.

Although Chu Ke and Dong Ping both served under him, Chu Ke was a military supervisor personally appointed by Grand Tutor Cai, and in Cheng Wanli's mind, he was far superior to the powerless Dong Ping.

Meanwhile, Chuk, who had rushed over from Yanggu, saw his superior but had no further information about him.

All I know is that this man's daughter is probably extremely beautiful.

"Greetings, Prefect Cheng."

Chu Ke smiled and cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Cheng Wanli, then glanced at him sideways.

"Which stray dog ​​just now disagreed with Chu becoming the supervisor?"

Cheng Wanli was taken aback at first, then suppressed a laugh and introduced,

"This is Dong Ping, known as the 'Double-Gun General.' He is also the military supervisor of this prefecture."

"Oh," Chuk feigned surprise, "so it's Supervisor Dong."

At the same time, he sneered inwardly. This Dong Ping had a dignified appearance and looked like a hero, but unfortunately he was disloyal and unrighteous, just like Zhang Song.

Dong Ping never expected that he would be caught red-handed for talking badly about someone behind their back.

To my utter surprise, Chuk immediately called me a stray dog!

An unnatural expression flashed across Dong Ping's face, and he immediately flew into a rage, saying:

"What a scoundrel Chuk! He dares to spout such nonsense before even taking office!"

"I think you want to test my marksmanship!"

Chu Ke sneered, ignoring him completely, and said to Cheng Wanli, "Lord Cheng, may I ask whether I need the approval of others to assume this post?"

Cheng Wanli shook his head with a strange expression.

You were personally selected by Grand Tutor Cai, so what further recognition do you need?

Seeing this, Chu Ke pointed and asked, "Then why is this person barking so wildly? Is he trying to defy the orders from the capital?"

"You want to be a rebel?" Chu Ke asked Dong Ping with a grin.

Can you withstand this kind of label-placing punch?

Startled by Chu Ke, Dong Ping quickly regained his composure and retorted:

"Then let me ask you, how can a sycophant who has accomplished nothing be appointed as a supervisor?"

The implication is that you are nothing more than a scoundrel who climbed up to Cai Jing.

Who told you to ask?

Chu Ke stared directly at Dong Ping without flinching.

"Then the general must have accomplished many great feats, right?"

"How come there are huge insects harming people on Jinggang Mountain, which is only a few dozen miles from Dongping, and the general hasn't gone to rid the people of this scourge?"

To perform meritorious service?

You think you can claim merit? When the Liangshan bandits attack, I wonder who will be the leader who leads the attack.

Chuk scoffed dismissively.

Dong Ping flew into a rage, pointing at Chu Ke and shouting, "Is fighting tigers the same as fighting a war?"

"Don't think that just because you've killed a tiger you can be arrogant and disrespectful!"

"Subduing a tiger is nothing but reckless bravery. Do you even understand the ways of officialdom, the strategic landscape of the battlefield, or the clash of armies? You think too highly of yourself with a few trivial tricks, but you'll still stumble when you actually face the enemy on the battlefield!"

Chuk frowned, feeling nauseous.

"Dong Dujian doesn't think much of my tiger-hunting skills, but I, Chu, am also skilled at fighting people. Would you like to give it a try?"

"Then let's give it a try!" Dong Ping said without hesitation.

Seeing the two men on the verge of exchanging blows, Cheng Wanli immediately shouted angrily, "Insolence!"

How dare two military officers draw their swords and guns in their own residence?

Do they even respect their own position as governor?!

"Since you two have such strength, why don't you go and suppress the bandits and quell the thieves?"

"What kind of skill is it to fight amongst ourselves?"

Cheng Wanli glanced at the two men and sat back down in the head seat.

"Since the two of you are not on good terms with each other, there just happens to be a gang of bandits who are engaged in horse trading, as well as murder and robbery."

"Hu Family Village was recently ransacked by these bandits. If you want to compete, why don't you see who can destroy their lair first?"

"What's so difficult about that?" Dong Ping sneered.

"They're just a bunch of petty horse-trafficking thieves. I'll take down their leader today with my five hundred elite soldiers!"

Hujiazhuang?

That's a great place, full of talented people.

Chuk suppressed a smile and said leisurely, "Give me two hundred soldiers, and today we will surely behead the bandit leader!"

Dong Ping glared fiercely at Chu Ke and said sarcastically:

"You probably don't know, but that bandit leader is ten feet tall, with a face like a Vajra, and his nickname in the martial world is 'God of the Perilous Path.' He also has many skilled men under his command. It's fine if you want to go and die, but don't needlessly lose the lives of the local militia!"

Oh, it's Yu Baosi!

He was the 105th hero among the 108 heroes of Liangshan, the Earthly Star Yu Baosi.

Chuk held up five fingers.

Seeing this, Cheng Wanli immediately decided, "Then you two will each take five hundred..."

"Fifty!"

Chuk interrupted, "I only need fifty men to capture Yu Baosi and bring him here!"

After saying that, he looked at Dong Ping with a half-smile.

According to the ranking of Liangshan, Yu Baosi is ranked fourth from the bottom, while Wu Song on their side is ranked fourteenth.

If things go wrong, all you need to do is send Wu Song alone, while I can take fifty people to the Hu Family Village to eat and drink tea.

Chuk looked relaxed, but Dong Ping was already cursing Chuk's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart.

That brat is truly ignorant of his own limitations!

But by this point he was out of options and could only say resentfully:

"Enough talk, fifty it is. I will bring Yu Baosi to justice first!"

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

Dongping Prefecture, Dulonggang.

Chu Ke rode his horse, while Wu Song led fifty infantrymen on the way.

"Why are you already out of breath after walking such a short distance?"

"Is my second brother injured?"

Seeing that Wu Song seemed to be in a bad state, Chu Ke asked with concern.

Upon hearing this, Wu Song gave an awkward smile and quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"I'm not injured, I'm fine, don't worry, brother."

Upon seeing Wu Song's appearance, Chu Ke's mind raced.

"Oh, I think it's most likely Wu Yueniang..."

Wu Song's face flushed instantly, and he repeatedly said, "Brother, please don't be offended. Wu Song promises that it won't affect this mission!"

Chu Ke smiled slightly, thinking that Wu Song had suffered quite a bit in the original story, so it was very good that he could be happy now.

As for Yu Baosi, I can just go there myself if necessary.

But we still need to give Wu Song a little encouragement.

"Even the strongest body can't withstand too much stress. Second brother, you should be more self-disciplined in the future."

Wu Song repeatedly agreed.

As you walk, the outline of a large fortress gradually comes into view.

The three villages ahead are all famous.

In the center is Zhu Family Village, to the left is Hu Family Village, and to the right is Li Family Village.

Li Family Village is home to Li Ying, nicknamed "Soaring Eagle," whose steel spear is renowned throughout the outlaw world. Zhu Family Village is the most prominent of the three villages, with three exceptional sons under the tutelage of Old Master Zhu. The village employs nearly two thousand retainers and is also staffed by Luan Tingyu, a highly skilled martial artist.

Only the Hu family village was weak and alone, with only a brother and sister remaining in the village: the brother, Flying Tiger Hu Cheng, and the sister, One-Zhang-Qing Hu San Niang.

Fortunately, the three villages had sworn a blood oath, advancing and retreating together, relying on each other like lips and teeth, making their alliance as solid as a rock.

During the day, the three shops had their doors wide open. As a vital passage on the north-south official road, merchants and travelers came and went in droves. Even if they were just inns for resting, they could still make a fortune every day.

Looking at the three villages ahead, Wu Song asked, "Brother, which way are you going?"

Chuk glanced at it and said leisurely:

"Since Hu Family Village was robbed, we should go to Hu Family Village."
