Simultaneous time travel, starting from Little Li Flying Dagger

"Brother, didn't we come here to suppress bandits?"

"If we enter the village now, Dong Ping might get there first!"

After following Chu Ke into the Hu Family Village, Wu Song was somewhat worried and puzzled.

"What's the big deal? We're new here and don't know anything, so naturally we've come to this aggrieved person to get information."

Chuk looked completely unconcerned.

"If Dong Ping really beats us to it, we'll just kill him too."

Although Dong Ping was exceptionally skilled in martial arts, even ranking among the top in the entire book in horsemanship.

But he was a capitulationist, and Chuk felt uncomfortable working with him.

The reason for encouraging each side to bring only fifty men was to make it easier to carry out the operation later.

Seeing that Wu Song remained silent, Chu Ke asked in surprise:

"What, second brother, you still can't bring yourself to kill him?"

Wu Song nodded, seemingly a little confused.

"For some reason, hearing his brother say he wanted to kill Dong Ping made Wu Song feel somewhat uneasy..."

Hmm? Could it be that they are kindred spirits, being fellow members of the Heavenly Gang?

This is outrageous!

Chuk tensed up instantly, frowned, and asked,

"What if Dong Ping comes to kill me? Will you kill him or not?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Song replied as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"The younger brother must be killed!"

Chuk nodded silently.

It seems I have successfully "turned" Wu Song to the other side.

As Chuk rode into the village, he looked up and saw that someone was already waiting for him.

The leader was a woman, tall and slender, wearing armor and carrying a gun, exuding a heroic aura, truly a "naturally beautiful begonia".

Chuk observed that her figure was similar to his own, estimating that she was over seven feet tall.

This must be Hu Sanniang, known in the martial arts world as "One-Zhang-Qing".

"Is the visitor Supervisor Dong?"

Hu Sanniang looked at the people entering the manor with suspicion in her heart.

Why are there so few people sent to suppress the bandits, and the one leading them on horseback is so young?

Wu Song shouted, "Miss, you've mistaken me for someone else! My brother is Chu Ke, the newly appointed military commander of Dongping Prefecture!"

Hu Sanniang's eyes lit up. "Could it be that tiger-slaying hero?"

It turns out that Jingyanggang is only forty or fifty li away from Sanzhuang. Back when the tigers were rampant, business in Sanzhuang was extremely poor.

Therefore, after Chuk killed the tiger, his name became widely known in the area.

Chu Ke never expected that he would have such an identity in the Three Villages.

He waved to Hu Sanniang and said, "Today I have been ordered by the Prefect of Dongping Prefecture to suppress the bandits."

Hu Sanniang was naturally delighted to see the tiger-slaying hero, but when she looked at the forty or fifty men behind Wu Song, she asked in surprise.

"Could it be that Supervisor Chu has offended Prefect Cheng? Otherwise, why would he have allowed you to bring only such a small number of men?"

Chu Ke dismounted, walked to Hu Sanniang's side, and asked,

"If you have any concerns, please speak frankly with me."

Seeing that Chu Ke possessed an extraordinary bearing, unlike an ordinary martial artist, Hu Sanniang smiled cheerfully and said...

"Even the heroes who killed the tiger have come; what could a few mere horse thieves possibly have to worry about!"

"Supervisor Chu invites you to go to the estate first."

Hu Sanniang extended her jade-like hand, gesturing for Chu Ke to go first.

The group arrived at the manor and took their seats.

Along the way, Chu Ke also heard Hu Sanniang tell him about Yu Baosi's horse robbery.

Yu Baosi was originally a powerful bandit in Qingzhou, who gathered a group of henchmen to rob travelers of their valuables and horses.

Unexpectedly, a few days ago, he discovered that the Hu family manor had a lot of fine horses, so he took "Living Flash Granny" Wang Dingliu and secretly sneaked out of the manor.

These two men possessed some special abilities, and taking advantage of a lapse in security, they broke into the manor, stole a large number of fine horses, and sped away.

"With such a large number of horses, this group will probably sell the stolen goods nearby. Third Sister, can you find out where they are?" Chu Ke asked.

Hu Sanniang nodded, her face filled with worry, and said:

"Their stronghold is in the dense forest of Dulonggang. However, Yu Baosi is skilled at using tricks to shift the terrain and change the location of the hills. We have been tricked and caught in traps several times when we went to suppress the bandits."

"I see." Chuck nodded slightly and analyzed.

"From this perspective, having more people is of little use, and the change in terrain is even more unfavorable for galloping horses and fighting in formation."

"Yes!" Hu Sanniang exclaimed excitedly.

"But now that you, Commander Chu, are here, our disadvantage these past few days has vanished. Those horse thieves are no match for you!"

Chuck nodded, agreeing.

However, if that happens, Dong Ping will be in big trouble.

"In that case, my brother and I will go."

Chu Ke stood up, looked at Wu Song, and gestured for them to set off.

Hu Sanniang then stepped in front of the two, cupping her hands like a man and saying:

"This humble woman also possesses martial arts skills and is confident in her ability to protect herself. Why don't I lead the way for you two?"

Chu Ke raised an eyebrow and looked at Hu Sanniang with admiration:

"Third Sister, how valiant you are!"

Cheerful and decisive, calm yet sharp.

Such a girl, in the end, is going to marry a short, ugly man, who is also the enemy who wiped out her entire family.

Chu Ke suddenly remembered Cheng Wanli's daughter, who was also forced into marriage by Dong Ping after her entire family was slaughtered.

It's practically a hellish experience for women.

Chuk couldn't help but shudder with anger, thinking how wonderful it would be if the entire female-dominated world of his past life had transmigrated here...

We will surely be able to "get to the root of the problem and clarify the source"!

The three immediately rode their horses toward Dulonggang.

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

"Supervisor Dong, have we already taken this route?"

In the dense forest, the soldiers cried out in fear.

Not long ago, Dong Ping led his troops to Dulonggang to suppress bandits. They went deep into the forest, but suddenly found themselves surrounded by many forks in the road. The old road had disappeared, and they could not see each other or distinguish east from west.

The group wandered around and got lost, unable to move forward or backward, and were trapped in the mountains and forests by someone using the terrain.

"That Yu Baosi!"

Dong Ping has always had the demeanor of a great general.

Seeing that the army's morale was low, he immediately reined in his horse and shouted:

"Don't panic! A mere change of terrain and setting up obstacles cannot possibly trap me!"

He ordered his soldiers to gather their ranks on the spot and not to scatter.

He then ordered people to light firewood upwind, so that the smoke would rise into the sky, serving two purposes: to determine the location and to signal for the regrouping of the scattered troops.

Then he personally rode his horse to find a high mound, wanting to climb up and see the terrain clearly.

"No wonder the Hu family couldn't catch Yu Baosi; it turns out this thief also knows such secret techniques."

"But it's strange, how could a mere horse thief possess such skill?"

While pondering, Dong Ping spotted a high slope ahead.

He was anxious to find his way, so he immediately spurred his horse forward.

Suddenly, a tripwire was pulled up by the roadside, causing the warhorse to buckle and lose its balance, crashing over!

Caught off guard, Dong Ping was also thrown off his horse, falling flat on his face.

Suddenly, several burly men sprang out of the woods, each wielding a knife, spear, or club, instantly blocking Dong Ping's path of advance or retreat and pinning him to the ground, rendering him unable to move.

"Hahaha, the strategist's plan is brilliant! This 'Double-Spear General' will be captured by Liangshan!"

The surrounding people quickly made way, surrounding the person in the center as if surrounded by stars.

The man was dressed like a scholar, holding a feather fan and wearing a bucket-shaped turban that covered his eyebrows. He was handsome with clear eyebrows and a fair complexion and long beard.

He looked at Dong Ping, who was unable to move on the ground, and laughed loudly.

"Supervisor Dong, you were captured by Wu's scheme. Are you convinced?"
