At this time, more than 30 wounded soldiers were helped together. Ten of them had already died, while the others were cleaning up the battlefield.
With over 200 usable longswords remaining, this was quite a haul, but Lü Tu was anything but happy.
Lu Tu handed Yan Lei to Liu Yang and said, "Keep an eye on him, don't let him die."
After saying that, he took a knife and went to chop down the small trees by the roadside. The others quickly followed suit. After they finished chopping, they took off the clothes of several men in black, tied them to wooden sticks, and made a makeshift stretcher.
He said to the crowd, "Take our wounded and injured brothers back."
"Sir, will you take it with you even after you die?"
Lu Tu said in a cold voice, "Even if he dies, take him back for burial."
Although the casualty ratio was 1 to 10, Lü Tu still felt heavy-hearted, even though these people had not long ago been lowly military slaves.
But from the moment they dared to fight alongside Lü Tu, they became Lü Tu's brothers. This was the most serious casualty incident in two months.
Lu Tu turned his head and looked at Yan Lei with an icy expression: "Now you'll have a hard time even if you want to die."
Upon hearing this, Yan Lei couldn't help but shudder. Having lived in Wuchuan for a long time, he had naturally heard of Lü Tu's deeds. Especially when he saw Lü Tu's eyes, the deep-seated hatred filled him with a profound fear, and he deeply regretted why he had personally come to carry out the mission.
"Lord Lü, please don't torture me, I'll tell you everything!"
Liu Yang punched him in the bridge of his nose, and a sharp pain mixed with a sour feeling immediately shot through him, causing him to close his mouth in excruciating pain as his nose broke.
Lu Tu instructed Liu Yang: "You and your 30 brothers take those women and wounded back to the village. Tell your sister-in-law to try her best to save people; they will naturally know how to handle the situation."
Nie Yun felt extremely guilty and, eager to make amends, quickly ran forward, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Brother, please let me make amends!"
Lu Tu said loudly, "The rest of you, come back to Wuchuan City with me. Today we must seek justice for our fallen brothers. I want them to pay for their crimes in blood!"
"Yes, sir!"
As we walked along the official road toward Wuchuan, we saw that some passersby had also been there during the earlier fight, but they had all fled in terror upon seeing the commotion.
Lu Tu glanced at Yan Lei, who was lying on the horse's back: "You only have one chance to tell the truth. Tell me where Xu Jing is."
When Yan Lei saw that Lü Tu would turn his horse around and go to Wuchuan, he thought that Lü Tu would temporarily swallow his anger and wait until he had regrouped before taking revenge. He had also planned that as long as he did not go back to report tonight, Xu Jing would know that something had happened to him and would definitely bring all his troops to Kuishan Village to rescue him.
But Lu Tu's sudden move caught him completely off guard and disrupted his plans.
At this moment, Yan Lei's mind was racing, and he was hesitating whether or not to tell Lü Tu the truth.
If he were to be discovered by spies the moment he entered Wuchuan, even if he survived, Xu Jing's discovery that he had become a traitor would only worsen his fate than death.
But if he didn't say anything, he had no doubt that Lü Tu would make him wish he were dead right now.
Faced with two evils, Yan Lei chose the lesser. After a complex internal struggle, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "After I tell you, can you spare my life?"
Lu Tu didn't even bother to look at him, and waved his hand, saying, "Then don't say anything."
Upon hearing this, Yan Lei felt a wave of dizziness. When had he ever seen such a confident and domineering person, who wouldn't even give him a sliver of false hope, or even just a little deception?
Clinging to his last shred of hope, he pleaded, "Lu Tu, if you're a real man, after I tell you the truth, can you give me a quick death?"
"Can."
"In the largest house in Tieliu Lane in the west of the city."
How many people are left?
"The Holy Emperor has just arrived in Wuchuan, and most of the followers are still scattered in various villages. The 300 assassins I brought earlier were already my trump card."
Lu Tu said unhappily, "I asked you how many men you still have?"
Yan Lei was almost driven crazy by Lü Tu's domineering attitude. He roared at Lü Tu, "You're going to kill me either way, so don't be so domineering!"
Lu Tu showed no mercy to him. With a flick of his wrist, the dagger appeared in his hand, which he tossed up and down, saying, "If you don't talk, I'll slap you and then feed you to the dogs in front of you."
Yan Lei was dumbfounded. He knew that Lü Tu was absolutely capable of doing it, and if he dared to say a word against it, his balls would really be fed to the dogs.
"There are about 80 people left, all of them highly skilled, especially the Holy Emperor, whose martial arts are superb. If you go there with so few people, you'll only face certain death! Come on, I've said all I need to say, give me a quick death!"
Lu Tu sheathed his dagger and nodded: "Let's assume you're telling the truth, but you'll have to live a little longer."
Yan Lei roared at Lü Tu: "Lü Tu, what kind of hero are you if you break your word?"
Lu Tu smiled wickedly: "I'm not going to torture you, so why are you howling? I'm going to make you watch as I annihilate your White Lotus Sect branch."
A chill ran through Yan Lei. He tilted his head and looked at Lü Tu, trying to discern from his face whether his confidence was genuine or just bluffing.
Unfortunately, all he saw on Lü Tu's face was indifference, as if what he was going to do was not to destroy the White Lotus Sect branch, but to eat and drink as casually as if he were just going out for a meal.
Before long, Lü Tu arrived at the city gate with 140 men. Such a large force immediately aroused the vigilance of the guards, who drew their bows from a distance and questioned Lü Tu loudly: "Lü Tu, what is the purpose of bringing so many people to Wuchuan?"
Lu Tu said loudly, "I encountered a small group of Wuhuan people on the way. I sacrificed dozens of my brothers to kill them. Moreover, I have learned that there are Wuhuan spies in the city. I am on my way to the Commandant's office to report to the Commandant!"
