Through their brief encounter, Ulm had already determined that Lü Tu was not only highly skilled and daring, but also ruthless to himself and even more ruthless to others!
If he were to fall into Lü Tu's hands now, the consequences would definitely be as Lü Tu said: he would be unable to live or die.
His gaze fell on the soldier's long sword beside him, and with his last bit of strength, he rammed his head against it, wanting to take the opportunity to end his life, to make his death look more tragic and to suffer less torment.
But Nie Yun and Liu Hong had already set their sights on him. The moment Ulm made a move, they kicked him with both feet, knocking him to the ground.
Ulm steeled his heart, knowing that his only way to commit suicide was to bite his tongue. He closed his eyes and opened his mouth wide.
The next second, his mouth was stuffed with a stinky shoe. He looked up and saw that Nie Yun had shoved his foot into his mouth and was cursing at him, "You fucking dream, you want to die? Keep dreaming!"
With that, he delivered a swift chop to the back of Ulm's neck, knocking him unconscious.
Several soldiers immediately stepped forward, tied Ulm up tightly, and then took shoes and socks from the corpse of the Wuhuan man and stuffed them into his mouth.
Nie Yun stepped forward and asked with concern, "Brother, are you alright?"
Lu Tu coldly swept his gaze across the scene: "I'm fine. Give the warhorse to the wounded brothers, have Liu Yang stop their bleeding first, and then send them back to the village for treatment. The rest of you stay here to clean up the battlefield."
"Yes, sir!"
Next came the chores of cleaning up the battlefield and cutting off the heads of the killed Wuhuan people, while Lü Tu sat on a rock and re-bandaged the wound on his arm.
At his feet was Ulm, who was bound and had to be escorted back by him personally.
Since they couldn't take all the prey they had hunted with them, Lü Tu simply had his men carry it all to the hot spring in the middle of Ai Ying Mountain, where they set up a fire and roasted it.
Liu Yang, who had previously transported the wounded back on horseback, would bring people to transport them again. Once all the game they had hunted was separated from their people, it would be easy for wild beasts in the mountains to obtain it.
Lu Tu squatted by the hot spring, scooped up a handful of water and smelled it. It had a sulfurous smell, and the water temperature was about 50 degrees Celsius.
Although hot spring water does not have disinfecting properties, bacteria have a hard time surviving in such a long-term high-temperature environment, making it at least much cleaner than other types of water.
"Brothers with minor injuries, come over here, clean your wounds, wash the bandages thoroughly, and then re-bandage them!"
"clear!"
Just as we finished cleaning a goat and were roasting it over the fire, the moon, which had been overcast all night, peeked out from behind the clouds, and the visibility instantly improved.
"Brother, what should we do with this scum?" Nie Yun pointed to Ulm on the ground.
Lu Tu gave a wicked smile: "You'll find out when we get back to the village."
Soon, the aroma of roasted meat filled the air, waking Ulm from his coma.
He opened his eyes, sniffling, and when he found himself tightly bound, he roared at Lü Tu, "If you have the guts, let go of your grandfather and fight me!"
Lu Tu stared at him disdainfully: "You Wuhuan people act like you're so brave. In a one-on-one fight, none of you can beat me, let alone a piece of trash like you."
"Yu Gou Lü Tu, you've gone too far! If you hadn't ambushed us beforehand, your small number wouldn't have been enough for my elite hundred cavalry to kill!"
These words, when they reached the ears of the soldiers present, instantly ignited their anger. With a shout, everyone drew their weapons and glared fiercely at Ulm.
Seeing this, Ulm was secretly delighted and continued to curse, "What are you looking at me for? Do you dare to kill your grandpa? Come on, kill your grandpa!"
Lu Tu gestured for everyone to sit down and said calmly, "What's the rush?"
"Sir, we can't stand him cursing you."
Lu Tu smiled with relief: "Let him curse me. After all, I killed all his people and will kill his whole family later. What's wrong with him cursing me a couple of times?"
Hearing this, all the soldiers grinned and chuckled foolishly: "That's right, the more enthusiastically he curses now, the more fun we'll have in killing him later!"
"Lu Tu, I'll fuck your mother! You cowardly bastard..."
Lu Tu, however, took out a packet of salt from his pocket and sprinkled it evenly on the freshly roasted mutton, completely ignoring Ulm's curses.
He cut off a piece of meat, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it slowly, and made a sound of extreme satisfaction and enjoyment: "Awesome!"
The food on the other grills was almost ready by then, and everyone was enjoying themselves immensely, taking bites from each other.
At this point, Ulm was in a very awkward position. He could only keep hurling insults at Ulm to stop himself from drooling.
But that damned Lu Tu was right in front of him, eating with his mouth full of oil, and every now and then he would throw the clean bones in front of Ulm, treating him like a dog, which made Ulm's eyes turn green!
"Yu Gou, I will never let you live under the same sky!"
Liu Hong, standing next to Lü Tu Chong, laughed and said, "I didn't expect this guy to be so tough. His voice is getting stronger and stronger."
Liu Hong looked Ulm over and said, "Sir, do you think he's thirsty? If he dies of thirst, we won't be able to torture him anymore."
Lu Tu waved his hand impatiently: "Then what are we waiting for? Tie him up and throw him into the hot spring, let him drink more."
The soldiers around had been waiting for this moment. Upon hearing this, they excitedly rubbed their hands together, lifted Ulm up, tied one end of the rope to a tree, and then kicked him into the hot spring.
With a splash, Ulm fell into the hot spring, struggled for a moment, and then sank. A string of bubbles quickly rose to the surface.
Seeing this, Liu Hong was about to have someone pull him up when he saw Lü Tu shake his head: "Wait a little longer, he won't die."
