Yang Wu was only a deputy general and was the most ordinary general in the army. Among the many generals, his voice was relatively weak and was far from the level of a marshal.
Zhang Xiong did not understand why Wan Lanxin had so much confidence in Yang Wu, but it seemed that only Yang Wu could solve this problem.
"Alright, don't think about this kind of small matter. Warden Zhang, you can be a Warden with peace of mind." Yang Wu said decisively.
With his current influence, he believed that Fen Tianxiong would not have any objections if he wanted to take the position of Warden, nor would he dare to have any objections.
The dishes were served and everyone happily gathered together to eat and drink. This was a rare time for leisure and relaxation.
After three rounds of drinking, Wan Lanxin and Zhang Xiong went alone to catch up.
Yang Wu, on the other hand, carried a jug of good wine and led Skinny Monkey and Lu Zhi to the second district.
This trip was not only to deal with Wei Dian, but more importantly, to find Xun Rui.
"My lord, are you sure that teacher is really in this prison?" Lu Zhi looked at the numb prison slaves around him and asked.
"Yes, do you think I'm lying to you?" Yang Wu replied.
Lu Zhi shook his head and sighed, "That's not it. It's mainly because of teacher's body. How can he endure in this place?"
"That's not to say. Elder Xun's body is very strong."
"No way, he's already so old. How can he be strong in this place?"
"You underestimate your teacher too much. The actions of an expert cannot be guessed!"
… …
As they talked, their group had already arrived at the second area.
None of the prison slaves here were in the mood to dig for the Red Steel Ores. They were all slacking off. The prison guards who were guarding here were also listless. They couldn't muster up any energy at all. All of them had a lazy appearance.
Some of the prison guards didn't dare to stop Yang Wu when they saw him. They could tell from his clothes that he was probably a general from somewhere else. They couldn't afford to offend him, so they let him walk around as he pleased.
Yang Wu and the others walked towards the stone house that they had stayed in before. It was on a hillside, and that was where they had met Elder Xun.
When they reached the top of the hill, more than ten prison slaves surrounded Yang Wu and the others. They were all holding crowbars in their hands. It seemed that if Yang Wu and the others took another step forward, their crowbars would be thrown at Yang Wu and the others.
"Scram!" Skinny Monkey shouted at the prison slaves.
"You guys are the ones who should scram. This is our boss's territory. Outsiders are not allowed to come here," one of the prison slaves shouted.
The strength of this prison slave was not low. He had already reached the Advanced Warrior level. No wonder he had the courage to stop Yang Wu and the others.
"When my big brother was the boss here, you guys were still hiding somewhere. All of you, scram!" Skinny Monkey shouted and attacked without holding back.
Skinny Monkey's fist strength was astonishing. How could these prison slaves withstand it? In just a few rounds, they were all sent flying by Skinny Monkey.
Skinny Monkey was already at the peak of the General Realm. He was no longer the little prison slave of the 68th district.
"Cough cough, they are already very pitiful. How can you be so cruel?" Lu Zhi said with a compassionate expression.
"Sickly beauty, most of them are people who kill people like flies. Are they worthy of your pity?" Skinny Monkey replied.
"Back then, the Lord was not like you. He came out of the mountain prison. Are you guys not good people?" Lu Zhi asked.
Yang Wu and Skinny Monkey replied at the same time, "No!"
Who wants to be a good person?
These days, good people don't live long. Only scourges live for a thousand years!
"That's great. I like it!" Lu Zhi said with a flirtatious look.
Yang Wu and Skinny Monkey instantly had the urge to vomit.
If Lu Zhi was a real woman, they would definitely be mesmerized. Unfortunately, this guy was a real man!
"In this cruel world, there are only two kinds of people. One is the strong, and the other is the weak. There is no such thing as good or bad. The strong can make all the rules. If they say good, then good. If they say bad, then bad. The weak can only resign themselves to fate!" Yang Wu said to the sky. Then, he quickly walked towards the stone house at the top of the mountain.
The three of them quickly arrived in front of the stone house. There was a bare-chested man practicing a battle skill. This man waved a crowbar. Every strike of the crowbar was quite powerful. There were even wisps of mysterious light floating around it, indicating that he was a top-level warrior.
Yang Wu didn't take this man seriously at all. He sensed the situation around him and didn't sense Xun Rui's aura. He also didn't see Xu Jiaoniang. He couldn't help but wonder, "Where did they go?"
Suddenly, the cultivating man waved a crowbar at Yang Wu. A one and a half meter long streak of mysterious qi rushed towards Yang Wu.
"Brother, don't be impulsive. My lord's realm is too high. He's not someone you can deal with." Lu Zhi advised.
Unfortunately, his reminder seemed to be a bit too late. The man had already flown out.
Bang!
The man fell heavily in a corner, unconscious. Yang Wu didn't seem to have moved at all.
Lu Zhi covered his face and said, "I already said that my lord's strength is strong. You just had to court death. You really don't deserve to die!"
Skinny Monkey rolled his eyes at Lu Zhi and said, "Speaking in hindsight!"
"Who's speaking in hindsight? I already told him!" Lu Zhi replied.
"You should've said it before he attacked!"
"I also wanted to, but I was afraid that he wouldn't believe me. This time, he should believe me."
"That seems to be the case. As expected of the sickly beauty's advisor."
… …
Yang Wu ignored the two of them and walked towards the prison slave who had been sent flying. The prison slave also got up. His eyes were filled with panic as he retreated step by step.
This prison slave was the boss of the second district. His strength was ranked in the top three among all the prison slaves. He was a little arrogant, but this little bit of pride was useless in front of Yang Wu.
"Where's Elder Xun and Xu Jiaoniang?" Yang Wu asked the prison slave.
"I … I don't know who you're talking about." The prison slave trembled as he replied.
"So it's an old man and a woman who live here." Yang Wu replied.
When he left the mountain prison in a hurry, he had already arranged for Xu Jiaoniang and Fatty Dong to take care of Xun Rui. He didn't expect that half a year later, things had already changed.
"I haven't seen any old man or woman. If there was a woman, she would've been taken away by the prison guards and offered to the prison warden." The prison slave answered honestly.
"Then where's Fatty Dong?" Yang Wu asked again.
"I know that. He used to live here, but … but …" The prison slave revealed a troubled expression and couldn't finish his sentence.
"But what? Hurry up and say it!" Yang Wu's eyes turned cold as he reprimanded.
"I injured him. He didn't make it through this winter and died!" The prison slave said in one breath.
"He died!" Yang Wu sighed heavily.
"I'm just asking for a way to live!" The prison slave gave up on escaping and answered honestly.
Yang Wu didn't make things difficult for him. He knew the cruelty of the mountain prison better than anyone else. It was a very normal phenomenon. He didn't have a deep relationship with Fatty Dong. He just lamented that life was fleeting.
Yang Wu ignored the prison slave and walked away with Shou Hou and Lu Zhi.
The prison slave watched Yang Wu and the others walk away before he heaved a sigh of relief. He patted his chest and said in relief, "That scared me to death. Who was that young man? He must be at least a young champion."
If he knew that the one who ambushed him was a young king and not a young champion, who knew how he would feel.
Yang Wu returned to the group of prison slaves and shouted, "Are there any more people from the Marquis Gang?"
The Marquis Gang was the gang that Yang Wu and Shou Hou had established in the mountain prison. They had wanted to unify the mountain prison, but after he had defeated all the prison slave bosses, he had left in a hurry. Even so, there were still legends of them in the mountain prison.
Yang Wu had no choice but to call out the original gang's name to see if there were any old prison slaves alive.
Sure enough, after he finished speaking, a few prison slaves walked over from a corner, cowering in fear.
"We are from the Marquis Gang. Are … are you Young Master Yang?" One of the prison slaves asked.
"That's right, it's me. What's your name?" Yang Wu turned around and asked the prison slave.
"It really is Young Master Yang. I didn't expect you to come back here. I used to be a member of the Black Gorilla Gang. After you came and killed us all, even the Black Gorilla Gang, we became your subordinates." The prison slave said excitedly.
"Yes, yes, it was Young Master Yang who broke my arm." Another prison slave pointed at his deformed arm and said excitedly.
"Thinking back to Yang Wu's peerless demeanor, it really opened my eyes. I thought my Divine Leg Art was very powerful, but in the end, my leg was broken by Yang Wu in one move. Thinking back, it really makes me sigh." Another prison slave said.
The other prison slaves also began to talk about the past, and their faces lit up with excitement.
Lu Zhi looked at them and couldn't wrap his head around it. These prison slaves were all beaten up by Yang Wu, so why didn't they feel any pain when they talked about it? Instead, they felt like they were showing off. He exclaimed in his heart, "This world is a mess!"
"Big Brother really is Big Brother. His charisma is not something anyone can compare to." Skinny Monkey said sincerely.
He and Yang Wu had both fought their way out of the Mountain Prison, and had experienced the hardships of the prison. It was easy to make the prison slaves submit, but it was difficult to make them worship you.
Yang Wu was a young prison slave who had fought his way from the lowest section to the first section. He was a small legend in the prison. Now that Yang Wu had returned, he was no longer a prison slave. Even the prison guards didn't dare to say anything about him, which meant that he had a great future. Perhaps he had already been promoted from a prison slave to a military officer. These prison slaves had witnessed Yang Wu's rise at some point, and they were proud of it.
"Do any of you know the whereabouts of Xu Jiaoniang?" Yang Wu interrupted the prison slaves' narcissism and asked.
"So Young Master Yang is looking for her. She was taken away by the prison guards after you left." A prison slave replied.
