The Legend of the Condor Heroes: From Being Expelled from Peach Blossom Island

Chapter 45 Cleaning the battlefield
While Wu Chengyu was talking to Brother Lu and the others, except for one person who was seriously injured by an arrow, the rest of the brothers had all bandaged their wounds and gathered together.

"Brother Lu, what should we do with these henchmen next?" asked one of the big men.

"Xiao Wu, take your two brothers to search around the ruined temple. Be sure to be careful and guard against any fish that have slipped through the net. If you find any clues, report it immediately. As for these henchmen..." Lu Zhiyi looked at Wu Chengyu with difficulty.

Niu Wanrou interrupted, "What else is there to say? Just kill them all. More than a decade ago, more than a hundred people like my uncles died at their hands."

Lu Zhiyi also wanted to keep all the hawks and dogs here, but he was afraid that killing too much would cause Wu Chengyu to be disgusted. After all, in his eyes, Wu Chengyu was still a child.

Lu Zhiyi said sternly, "Brother Chengyu, it's not that I'm cruel and ruthless. It's simply that the stakes are too high. We all have families to support, and even you are involved today. If we let any of them escape, there will be endless trouble. The court will definitely not let us go."

Wu Chengyu naturally understood the reasoning. After he exposed Wei Shujuan's true face, there was no room for maneuver. The Wu family's direct and collateral branches had a total of thousands of people, and what he did today was enough to implicate everyone involved.

Wu Chengyu simply didn't want to do it himself and kill so many people in one go. A normal person couldn't do it and would have nightmares.

But if Lu Zhiyi and the others wanted to take action, Wu Chengyu would definitely not stop them. At most, she would turn her head away and not look.

Adults only consider the benefits and disadvantages when doing things. Now we are in the world of martial arts, so how can we be so merciful?

"If you don't remove the roots, you'll only end up hurting yourself. Although Chengyu is young, she understands this principle. Brother Lu, just go ahead and do it. I'll take my sister and Sister He to rest behind this statue for a while. We've been busy all night and are exhausted."

Lu Zhiyi burst into laughter after hearing this, and Niu Wanrou patted Wu Chengyu's 32A chest muscles and laughed so hard that her breasts were shaking.

"You are indeed my brother. You are not pedantic and you are straightforward. I like you more and more, sister."

Wu Chengyu was almost suffocated by the photo. He quickly hid away from Niu Wanrou. He first took A Ku, who was a little drowsy after being frightened, from He Zhiyu's arms, then pulled He Zhiyu to the back of the shrine, found some straw to spread on the ground, and carefully placed A Ku on it.

However, he still stuck his head out from behind the statue and said, "Brother Lu, if you kill someone and don't touch the body, you deserve to have no meat to eat. These people should have a lot of good stuff on them. We just suffered a great loss."

Niu Wanrou answered first: "Don't worry, brother. How to clean up the battlefield after a battle is also a compulsory course for the Yue Family Army."

Not long after, I heard the pleas for mercy, threats, and screams of those hawks and dogs just before they were killed. There were more than a hundred of them in one breath, one after another. Fortunately, A Ku had fallen asleep. On the contrary, He Zhiyu was pale and trembling slightly. After all, she was just an ordinary woman.

Wu Chengyu was actually not feeling well either, but he was trying to endure it. The key was that his hearing and sense of smell were too good. The screams and the increasingly strong smell of blood made him feel uneasy.

After a while, the screams finally stopped, and Wu Chengyu heard Yu Xiaowu bringing people back.

"Brother Lu, we've searched the area within a few hundred meters. The wind and rain were so strong tonight that many traces were lost, but we definitely didn't see any other figures."

"That's good. Xiaowu, take the others and pile up these corpses first. Everyone, take a rest. I see the rain is getting lighter. As soon as the rain stops, regardless of whether it's daybreak or not, we will set out and leave here immediately.

Brother Chengyu, Miss He, I have something to discuss with you."

He Zhiyu and Wu Chengyu came out from behind the statue. They tried their best not to look at the corpses, but there were still three bodies lying in the lobby that had not been moved away.

The first one was Wei Shujuan, who was killed by a knife cut in the throat. She died with her eyes open and her face full of resentment.

She was originally a secret agent for the imperial court. To track down the descendants of Yue Fei's army, she married Cao Mao and hid her schemes for years, but unfortunately, her schemes backfired and she lost her life. Wu Chengyu naturally had no fondness for her, but her corpse still resembled a little girl, and those who didn't know better might have thought that Brother Lu and his men were inhumane. The second was Monk Tianshi, a Shaolin master and the chief disciple of the Dharma Hall. Wu Chengyu remembered that the last Shaolin abbot to appear in The Return of the Condor Heroes was named Tianming. If Tianshi hadn't died, he would have at least been the head of the Dharma Hall.

Although this guy was plotted against by Brother Lu and others, his character was really bad. He was arrogant and underestimated the enemy when fighting, and was distracted at the critical moment. His death was not unfair at all.

The last one is He Zhiyu’s husband, Cao Mao. He is a big villain from beginning to end, but he has a vicious mind and serious sins. The key is that his taste is quite special.

Lu Zhiyi called He Zhiyu out to discuss the matter of Cao Mao.

"Sister, Cao Mao is dead. Should we deal with him together with these people, or handle his funeral separately? After all..."

He Zhiyu shook his head and said, "Since he's already dead, Cao Mao is no different from the other corpses here. There's no need to deal with him separately."

After saying that, she took a few steps forward and looked at Cao Mao, who still refused to close his eyes. Her eyes were filled with both resentment and relief.

"Since Lian'er is a fake, your Cao family has no one left since your death, and your descendants are extinct. You have also harmed my He family, leaving only me.

But you could never have guessed that I was already two months pregnant. Don't worry, the child is yours, but he will only have the surname He after he is born, and your Cao family will no longer have any descendants."

…………, once a woman has hatred, it cannot be washed away even with all the water in the three rivers and four seas.

As soon as He Zhiyu finished speaking, he turned around and went back behind the statue, feeling sad.

Yu Xiaowu and his men threw the three bodies casually onto the small pile of corpses nearby, and then took his men to the outside of the ruined temple to stand guard.

Lu Zhiyi and Niu Wanrou pulled Wu Chengyu to the bonfire, which was still burning. Wu Chengyu threw a few pieces of firewood on it, and then pricked the firewood a few times, and the fire immediately started again.

Next to the campfire was a pile of spoils collected from the hawks and dogs, a large number of bows and crossbows, dozens of short swords and short guns, as well as some strange weapons, such as the Judge's Pen, Emei Spear, Iron Buddha Dust, Iron Abacus, Mourning Stick, and even a Nine-toothed Rake.

Were the imperial henchmen capable of such extravagant tricks? Wu Chengyu picked up the Nine-toothed Rake, made of fine steel and weighing a full forty or fifty kilograms. He found it too heavy and immediately dropped it.

It was also unfair to the guy who used this weapon. The temple was so small and there were so many people that he couldn't use his weapon at all, and then he was killed. Life is so unpredictable.

Wu Chengyu was just daydreaming when Brother Lu handed her a large stack of banknotes.

"These hawks and dogs have some loose change and quite a few banknotes. A rough count shows they add up to a full six or seven hundred taels. Forget the silver, these banknotes belong to me. Brother Chengyu, please don't shirk your responsibility. If you weren't here tonight, even if we were the last to charge out, I don't think there would be many of us left."

It is always a joy to share the spoils, but one always has to make excuses and pretend to be polite.

Sister Niu was impatient, so she grabbed the banknotes and stuffed them into Wu Chengyu's clothes, and touched Wu Chengyu's chest muscles.

Wu Chengyu was speechless. Why did Sister Niu's face suddenly look somewhat like that of the fat cook?
