Lu Tu ordered, "Take all the remaining prey with you. Don't kill this bastard, take him back to the village too!"
"Yes, sir!"
It was already past midnight when they got home. Song Yuxi and Nangong Huiyu, accompanied by Ban Yingying and Qin Qianqian, waited anxiously at the village entrance.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lü Tu return.
Lu Tu dismounted and took their hands in his: "It's late and cold. You can wait for me at home. Why suffer in the cold in the village?"
"How can Xiaoyu and I be at ease if we can't see our husbands? Are you injured?"
Song Yuxi noticed a bright red mark on Lü Tu's palm and checked other parts of his body. Only when she found no other wounds did she feel relieved.
Nangong Huiyu supported Lü Tu's arm: "Husband, I have already had all the wounded given garlic extract, and their wounds have been bandaged with clean, boiled gauze. Let's go back and treat your wounds."
Lu Tu nodded, then looked at Liu Yang behind him: "Keep an eye on this bastard, don't let him die. I'll deal with him again tomorrow."
"clear!"
Upon hearing this, Ulm felt a chill run down his spine. He had already been tortured beyond recognition, and now his skin felt like it didn't belong to him. With every step he took, he could feel the skin peeling off his thighs, and the pain was so intense that it felt like he was being gnawed by a million ants.
Back home, Song Yuxi treated Lü Tu's wounds, and the three of them finally fell into a deep sleep.
Lu Tu slept very restlessly that night, and cautiously got out of bed just as dawn broke.
They found Liu Yang in a wooden hut, where he was drinking millet porridge. Ulm was lying on the ground next to him, groaning continuously.
Seeing this, Liu Yang explained, "Brother, this guy has been groaning all night, he's really not like a man."
Lu Tu laughed, "Do you think soaking in the hot spring for an hour is a small matter? Burns are the most torturous thing. His skin is already festering all over. It would be abnormal if he didn't groan. Get him out of there!"
Liu Yang finished the porridge in his bowl in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and together with Liu Hu, grabbed him.
The moment the touch came into contact with Ulm's skin, Ulm trembled with pain.
Lu Tu knew that his skin was completely necrotic at this moment, and the grab from Liu Yang and his brother was equivalent to grabbing his flesh directly. How could it not hurt?
"Big brother, are we taking him to the training ground?"
Lu Tu saw that the wolf-head armor on Ulm was quite nice: "Take off this armor and give it to you. You were very brave yesterday, killing three enemies. I saw it all."
"Thank you so much, brother!" Liu Yang was thrilled to hear this. After all, the wolf-head armor was so imposing, what man could resist such a temptation?
Liu Yang roughly removed the armor, and then, with Liu Hu's help, very flamboyantly put on Ulm's armor. Afterwards, he dragged Ulm toward the training ground.
At this moment, on the high platform of the training ground, Xiao Zhong was giving his daily lecture, assigning tasks to everyone present, when he happened to see Lü Tu bringing Ulm up to the platform.
Upon seeing the living Wuhuan people, the scene erupted in uproar.
Especially the villagers who had just joined the village looked at Ulm with a deep-seated fear in their eyes.
Lu Tu did this to eliminate such fear and to tell every newcomer to the village that the Wuhuan people are also human beings and can be killed.
People are only afraid of things they haven't seen before. Many of the people present had never been in close contact with the Wuwan people. They either ran away when they saw them from afar or they had heard rumors and demonized the Wuwan people.
"Sir, are these the Wuhuan people? Why do they look like ghosts? Blue eyes and yellow hair?"
"Yeah, this guy is so ugly, it's enough to give you nightmares."
At this moment, Ulm, who was extremely weak, endured another wave of psychological attack as he listened to those hurtful words.
Urm was undoubtedly the most handsome man in the tribe, with 10 wives and concubines, and he would fight all 10 at once. Yet, when he arrived in this wretched place, he was disliked by a group of two-legged sheep for his ugly appearance.
He forced his head up, his eyes filled with malice as he looked down at the audience: "You bunch of Yu dogs, Ata will avenge me."
Lu Tu looked at Xiao Zhong with a puzzled expression, and Xiao Zhong explained with a smile, "Ata means Wuwan Huadi (乌丸话爹)."
oh.
“I’ll still kill your father if he comes. You like your father so much, I’ll bury him with you! I’ll let your father’s corpse cover you, so you can really feel your father’s love.”
"You fucking Lu Tu..." Before he could finish speaking, Liu Yang, who was wearing wolf-head armor, punched him in the mouth, knocking out two of his front teeth, and then stuffed a foot-binding cloth into his mouth.
Lu Tu said loudly, "Yesterday, we killed a hundred Wuhuan cavalrymen, including five chainmail riders. And this bastard is called Ulm, the son of the chieftain of the Uma tribe!"
Hearing such news of a great victory coming from Lü Tu's mouth, even though they probably knew about it last night, they couldn't help but be shocked!
Those were a hundred elite Wuhuan cavalrymen! And they were led by five chainmail cavalrymen and the son of the Uma chieftain, yet they were wiped out by Lü Tu and his men, who also captured Ulm alive.
Even the wolf-head armor of Ulm was now being worn by Liu Yang on the high platform, showing off his power. It was simply unbelievable!
Especially the more than 1,000 newly joined refugees, after hearing Lu Tu's words, felt goosebumps all over their bodies and their backs stiffened.
Although they had fled from the south, they had heard many rumors along the way, all of which were about the border army's defeat.
They hadn't believed it before, but now that the spoils of war were right in front of them, they finally understood just how formidable this seemingly haphazard border army really was!
