Chapter 70 A dead man's penis flies to the sky; an immortal man lives for ten thousand years.

Lu You sat leaning against a big tree, holding a leg of lamb in both hands and taking big bites.

Standing eight feet tall with a four-foot waist, he resembled a door panel whether standing or sitting. Beside him were two large axes, each weighing a full twenty pounds.

Few people can wield such heavy weapons.

Being invited by the wolves to participate in the attack on Jizhuang is not uncommon in previous years.

However, the Jizhuang family that was attacked this year was ranked slightly higher in the Yan family's hierarchy.

Unexpectedly, this time they stirred up a hornet's nest.

Not long after the breakup, Lü You realized things were going badly. Yan's pursuit and interception came wave after wave. He managed to evade one group, but another group would immediately follow.

Lu You noticed that the pursuing troops' flags were different, some from the south and some from the north. Logically speaking, although both groups belonged to the Yan family, they rarely had the chance to get together.

This shows what?
This indicates that the Yan family was on a full mobilization.

The entire Yan clan of Baoping Prefecture mobilized.

Lu You was immediately stunned.

With only a few dozen men under his command, even if they were made of iron, how many nails could they possibly hammer?
There's no way they can escape with their limited manpower and abilities; their only chance is to find a powerful backer.

And their only reliable support right now is the wild wolf.

surrender?

Lü You had considered this.

However, during his escape, he discovered the fates of several bandit groups that had robbed Jizhuang together, and Lü You immediately abandoned the idea.

Some of these people died in battle, while others' wounds clearly indicated they were tortured to death.

Moreover, Lu You knew those guys' character all too well; if they were truly desperate, they would definitely kneel down and beg for mercy.

But no one survived.

The fact that Canxing was awakened shows that the Yan family did not want prisoners in this battle.

Then there's no other choice.

A leather bag was handed to him. When Lü You looked up, he saw it was Jin Bao, the leader of another group of people who had met him on the way and joined him in finding the wild wolves.

He uncorked the bottle, tilted his head back, and took a big gulp of wine. Lü You looked at the other person and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Jinbao gestured towards the distance with his chin.

Lu You looked in the direction he indicated, where Wild Wolf's subordinates were sitting.

Ten people sat in a circle, silently chewing on dried meat, while a wine sachet was passed around among them, with each person taking a sip before passing it on to the next person.

Looking back at the two men's men behind him, they were scattered, some sitting, some lying down.

You won't know until you compare.
You only know when you compare them.

Compared to other people's subordinates, his own men were truly a mess, a bunch of misfits.

“Fatty, I didn’t notice this when we were working with Wild Wolf before, but after spending more time with him this time, I realized that Wild Wolf’s men don’t seem like the gangsters we’re used to; they’re more like a well-trained army,” Jinbao said in a low voice.

"Is there any difference?" Lü You gnawed the meat off the lamb leg clean, then stuck out his tongue and licked the leg bone until it was smooth and shiny, something even a dog would find disgusting.

“The difference is huge!” Jinbao looked around, then leaned closer to Lü You, his voice becoming even softer: “This time, I’m afraid we’ve all been tricked by the wolves. Something big is about to happen in Baoping Prefecture. We’re just pawns, being used like fools without even realizing it.”

"If you don't know, you don't know. Don't spout nonsense with half-baked knowledge, or you'll get yourself killed!" Lu You threw the bone club on the ground, looked up at Jin Bao, his eyes squeezed into slits by the flesh on his face, "We have no choice now. The Yan family didn't give us a chance to surrender."

Jinbao sighed, "Damn it, if they had given us a way out, I would have turned against them immediately!"

The sound of footsteps approached, and Jinbao looked up and stood up abruptly. Lü You also stood up.

"Brother He, is there anything we can help you with?"

He Li smiled, took something out of his pocket, and held it out in front of the two of them. He then released his grip, and a silver plaque hung down in front of them.

Two heads crowded in front of the sign.

"Tai'an City?"

The two said in unison.

"I didn't expect you two to be literate?" He Li said with a smile.

“I can’t read, but we’ve seen this badge before!” Lu You’s gaze towards He Li changed slightly: “Brother He, since you have a silver badge in Tai’an City, why are you doing this kind of low-risk business like the rest of us?” He Li smiled meaningfully, “Boss Wild Wolf also has one, but the color is a little different; it’s gold.”

Before Jinbao could react, Lü You's expression changed, and he blinked a few times before asking, "So, Boss Wild Wolf is from Tai'an City? You are all from Tai'an City?"

"What do you think?" He Li neither admitted nor denied it.

Lu You and Jin Bao exchanged a glance and involuntarily straightened up.

Tai'an City!
That's a place with innate masters backing you up.

Within the jurisdiction of Tai'an City, no one dares to use knives or guns, or break the law; there is only one word for them: death!

But it's unimaginable that there's a gang in Tai'an City that specializes in robbery.

"What does Boss Wild Wolf want us to do? We'll go through fire and water for you!" Lü You said.

"Me too, me too!" Jinbao's face turned bright red. Was he about to find a powerful backer? If he could get close to Tai'an City, who would he be afraid of in the future?
"Next, we're heading to Mao'er Mountain. But we're not going to take the detour; we're going to go straight there!" He Li looked at the two of them and smiled, "Are you two still planning to come with us?"

"Of course," Lü You replied without the slightest hesitation.

"Very well! How about you two lead the vanguard for our army tomorrow?"

Lu You was taken aback, staring at He Li for a long while before saying, "Of course we're willing, but we're afraid we'll mess up Boss Wild Wolf's important plans!"

He Li smiled and said, "It won't be a mistake. The boss said that if you two are the vanguard for our army and reach Mao'er Mountain alive, then he will also ask for a silver medal like this for you."

The gleaming silver medal spun around in front of the two of them, then was snatched away with a clatter.

"If you're willing, go find the boss. If you're not, that's fine too, but you won't be able to come with us tomorrow. Go on your own!"

After saying this, He Li turned around and walked away.

"Fatty, what do we do? They're making us clear a path for them, a life-or-death situation!"

Lü You took a deep breath, strode forward, and followed He Li's steps: "To clear the way is a nine-out-of-ten chance of death; not to clear the way is a ten-out-of-ten chance of death. We have no choice. We're willing to risk our lives, we dare to bring down the emperor, what are we afraid of! A man dies with his penis in the sky, or lives a thousand years!"

As dawn broke, wisps of smoke rose from the woods.

The bandits openly lit fires and cooked, without any concern that their movements would be discovered by the enemy.

Of course, their unbridled behavior was immediately noticed by Yan's scouts.

As a troop of Yan's army approached, the bandits in the woods had already eaten and drunk their fill and were ready to attack.

The distant sound of arrows whistling grew closer and closer.

The bandits' scouts came into view.

Amidst the melodious horn calls, the bandits in the woods mounted their horses and slowly marched out in formation. Leading the way were Lü You and Jin Bao.

The two axes clashed together, making a clanging sound. Lü You looked at Jin Bao and said, "Brother, you're alive!"

“You too!” Jinbao said, “If I survive this ordeal, I’ll go live in Tai’an City and never do this again. I’ll try to die of old age in bed.”

"If I survive this ordeal, I'm going to follow Boss Wild Wolf to do even bigger things! If I survive this time, I'm definitely not going to die in the future!" Lu You laughed loudly, spurring his horse on: "Brothers, follow me!"

On the snowy plain, two armies collided heavily, like red-hot iron rods piercing the snow, hissing and spewing smoke.

Half an incense stick later, a huge fat man, wielding two large axes, leaped out from the midst of a thousand troops. Blood droplets swung from the axes fell in the sunlight, carving small holes in the snow.

The bandits made their way away.

Behind them, the Yan clan's army, whose ranks had been shattered, watched the departing bandit horde with utter dejection.

After a long while, the leading general finally came to his senses and shouted angrily as he reorganized the army to give chase.

Yan Dong bent down, grabbed a handful of snow, and rubbed it vigorously on his face. The icy snow water instantly cleared his somewhat drowsy mind.

As information rapidly converged on him, the wolf's whereabouts finally became clear to him.

The wolf had nowhere to go and now it had no choice but to fight recklessly.

Mao'er Mountain!
This is the burial place chosen by the harsh winter for the wild wolves.

"Order all troops to surround Mao'er Mountain before nightfall! Those who fail to arrive by the deadline will be punished according to military law!" Yan Dong shouted sternly.

One by one, carrier pigeons took off and flew in all directions.
