"Damn it, how could the officers and soldiers be so fast? What do those sentries outside do for food?"
"These straight thieves must be lazy."
"Don't worry about this for now. The headquarters has been lost. Let's escape to a hidden place."
"No, we can't run anymore. They probably aren't chasing us. How about we take a rest first."
"We'll reach the dark river ahead. Let's go and rest on the boat."
Deep in the cave, in the dark and narrow passage, five or six people were running panting.
These senior staff of Wuyou Cave have always been pampered and pampered, but on the contrary, they are not strong enough and are exhausted. Only the deputy cave master Li You is still calm and calm.
The cave is very humid, the ground is uneven, there are often pits and gravel, and the air is filled with a cold and stinky smell.
Li You scanned the surroundings and saw that there were many branch entrances around. The underground passages were already complicated, and Wuyou Cave had dug many branch roads by itself, making it even more exaggerated than a maze.
Fortunately, I have been underground all year round and know the way. Otherwise, if it were someone else, I am afraid that even if the cave master comes, he may get lost in it and cannot find the direction.
"It's just over here."
Li You pointed to a passage on the right and said, "Let's hide in the dark cave we prepared before."
Everyone had no choice but to cheer up and move forward again.
After walking about thirty or forty meters, I heard the sound of the river surging.
There are four canals on the surface of Bianliang, but in fact there are a large number of underground rivers. It is said that there are as many as twelve, and the water resources are extremely rich.
These sewer rats hiding underground can rely on the river for support in addition to food, water, and excretion. They don't need to go outside at all, so they can persist for so long.
However, Li You also knew that the government could not let it go and would probably launch a surprise attack. But we can't give up the headquarters. There are so many people and there is no place to hide, so we can only hold on for now. It's just that he didn't expect the government's attack to be so fast.
Fortunately, I had a backup plan.
The group of people walked a few steps forward, and sure enough, an underground river appeared in front of them.
Under the light of the torch, the underground river was about three to four feet wide, and the water flow was not very fast. There was a small river beach several feet wide from the cave exit, and there was a boat on the river beach.
As the so-called cunning rabbit has three caves, Li You also prepared several small caves in the cave below, where not only food and money were hidden, but also identity documents. If they really can't bear it anymore, they will choose to leave Bianliang and flee to other places.
Although leaving Bianliang means giving up everything that we have been doing in Bianliang for many years, there is nothing we can do when we get to that point. Anyway, they have hidden gold and silver jewelry worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, which is easy to carry, enough to last a lifetime.
Several of Li You's cronies set up the ladder and were about to go down. The man at the front had already jumped onto the river beach, took the torch passed from above, and then walked to the boat, intending to drag the boat into the underground river.
As a result, at this moment, Li You suddenly whispered: "Who!"
"Deputy Cave Master."
Tian Sanlang emerged from the secret passage at the back door and said in a cold voice: "We in the world value friendship the most. Brothers live and die together, but you abandoned everyone and ran away alone. It's a bit unkind."
Li You frowned, then saw that there were only five people in Tian Sanlang, so he relaxed again and said with a smile: "It turns out to be San Lang. Since we are here, let's go together."
"oh?"
Tian Sanlang clenched the sharp knife in his hand and asked with a smile: "The deputy cave master is willing to take us with him?"
"That's natural, but the boat below is a bit big and needs help from people to tow it. You guys, Saburo, are just in time. Come over and help us drag the boat into the river."
Li You waved his right hand, and at the same time, his left hand made a hidden gesture behind him towards his subordinates.
There are eight people on his side.
Tian Sanlang showed no doubt about his attitude and said happily: "Really? That's really great. I'll help the cave master right now."
As he spoke, he seemed to be leading his men forward without warning.
Soon the two gangs came closer. When Tian Sanlang got closer to less than one meter, Li You's eyes suddenly became serious. Then he pulled out a horn-sharp knife from his waist with his left hand and stabbed Tian Sanlang fiercely.
He only prepared a small boat, which was basically enough for a few of his cronies and himself. Most of these cronies are brothers who have followed him for many years, and one of them is his biological brother.
If Tian Sanlang and his gang were allowed to board the boat, the boat would be in danger of capsizing.
More importantly, they hid the gold, silver, jewelry and a large amount of supplies in order to hide underground for at least half a year. If Tian Saburo and the others were included, the supplies would not be enough, and he did not have the habit of sharing with others.
Therefore, Tian Sanlang and his party must die!
However, just when Li You thought he could take him by surprise and suddenly assassinate Tian Sanlang, in the darkness, a sharp blade stabbed his chest silently in advance.
At the same time, the hand that stabbed Tian Sanlang was also tightly grasped by a thick and powerful hand, as if it was clamped by pliers and could not move at all.
Li You felt a pain in his chest and raised his head to look at Tian Sanlang in shock, only to find that the other man's face was also full of ferocious expressions.
"Why."
Before he died, his eyes were full of disbelief. Who would have thought that Tian Sanlang actually wanted to kill him?
He is the only one who knows the hidden cave. If he is killed, Tian Saburo will not be able to find the location of the hidden cave.
Even if the other party guesses that he has bad intentions, how can he kill him? Isn't he afraid that he will not be able to find the hiding place and be wiped out by the government in the end?
Tian Sanlang smiled ferociously in his ear and said, "Chisi asked me to say hello to you on his behalf."
"Kill!"
"Cut them!"
"Do it!"
Almost the moment Li You and Tian Sanlang fought, the two sides started fighting in the small cave.
When Li You heard those words before he died, he fell down with eyes wide open.
Tian Sanlang drew out his knife and joined in the fight with his men.
Although there are fewer of them than the other party, they are all good fighters in the Qinglong Club.
In contrast, the people on Li You's side are all high-level leaders of Wuyou Cave. They rarely go into battle to fight anymore, and their physical strength and combat power are not at the same level at all.
Four people were chopped to the ground in just one encounter, and the other four were frightened half to death. They quickly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Spare your life, spare your life! Sanlang, don't kill us, I even treated you to dinner."
One of them was Li You's younger brother. He shouted: "Sanlang, I know where my brother is hiding in the cave. As long as you don't kill me, I can take you there. There is gold and silver worth four to five million guan." Jewelry is enough for you to live a lifetime of glory and wealth."
"oh?"
Tian Sanlang put down the knife he originally raised and asked in surprise: "Where is it?"
"I don't know exactly where it is. He goes in personally every time he delivers something, but I know the approximate location."
Li You's brother said anything to save his life.
Tian Sanlang thought for a while, then swung his knife and hacked the remaining three people to death. He escorted him and said, "Take us there. Don't worry, we are from the Imperial City Division. As long as you obey, we promise not to kill you, and we can still Let you be punished and make meritorious service!"
"Yes Yes Yes."
Li You's younger brother didn't dare to do anything when faced with several blades on his neck, so he had no choice but to obey.
However, he did not know the specific location of Li You's cave, but he still knew the approximate location. In the past, every time Li You transported supplies, he asked him to help drive the boat and carry them, so he knew it very well.
A group of people got on the boat. Tian Sanlang tied the hands and feet of Li You's brother with the belt of the dead man and asked him to point the direction. The group drove the boat deep into the underground river.
This underground river is also criss-crossed, with countless forks and twists and turns. If no one guides the route, you really can't find the place.
Finally, they stopped at another small river beach. Tian Sanlang asked two people to watch Li You's brother on the boat. He took the other two people to the river beach, then found a ladder nearby and climbed down from a pit. Got in.
Sure enough, there were secret passages inside, but fortunately there were not many secret passages. The three people searched for about half an hour, and finally found Li You's hiding cave by accident. There were indeed countless gold, silver and jewels in it.
And just when Tian Sanlang got rid of Li You, the deputy cave master of Wuyou Cave, the battle at the Wuyou Cave headquarters was coming to an end. At least thousands of Wuyou Cave black villains were killed and two to three thousand people were captured. Above, countless people jumped into the river to escape.
The imperial guards of Kaifeng Mansion and Imperial City were doing the finishing work. Since this place was relatively close to the ground, the news was quickly reported.
The market at the intersection of Dongzhi Street and Nanheng Street in Caihe Yunqiao was blocked. The government suddenly made a temporary move and ordered all the shops in the street to be closed. Stalls were not allowed to set up. Citizens and neighbors immediately went home.
Although this affects the overnight economy of Fenlingfang street, it is worth sacrificing this little bit in order to eliminate the cancerous Wuyou Cave below.
Zhao Jun was wearing a purple robe with a young and handsome face. He stood on a high platform beside the bridge with his hands behind his back.
On the other side of the river, at the dawn of spring in Fantai, willow branches swayed in the wind. The seven-story iron tower of Fantai Temple was hidden in the darkness, and the moonlight showed a dark reflection.
At the exits of several canals under the shore, there were densely packed boats outside. In addition to the imperial guards and Kaifeng government officials who were waiting on the boats, there were also temporarily recruited doctors from nearby medical schools.
No one knows how many victims there are down there.
Zhao Jun has seen these victims before. Many of them have wounds on their bodies. In order to look pitiful so that the people can give money, the people in Wuyoudong will beat them severely after the wounds are healed. Got bloody.
Therefore, doctors must be on call at all times.
The entrances and exits of several canals were in chaos. Most of the people who jumped into the river to escape swam in, but there were still some who rushed out without fear of death and were stabbed to death with harpoons by the soldiers on the boat.
There are also people who are fighting inside, then fall into the water and are washed out of the canal by the current.
There were already more than twenty or thirty corpses on the water, and they were fished out. The channels flowing out gradually turned red.
"Zhiyuan!"
A new commander emerged from the cave and climbed to the shore to report to Zhao Jun: "The headquarters of Wuyou Cave has been wiped out!"
"oh?"
Zhao Jun was surprised: "So fast?"
Cao Xiu, who was following them, smiled and said, "Zhiyuan, Wuyou Cave is too close to the Cai River, and we launched a sudden attack. They had no time to escape and had to be caught."
"Um."
Zhao Jun responded first, and then asked the commander: "How is the battle situation?"
The commander replied: "We only suffered 20 or 30 casualties. At least a thousand people were killed in Wuyou Cave, and thousands more were caught and escaped. Most of them jumped into the river and went deeper. He ran away, but the terrain down there is too complicated and dark, so it’s really difficult to chase him.”
"It doesn't matter if we don't catch him. Our mission is mainly to save people."
Zhao Jun nodded and said: "Rescue all the victims as soon as possible. Organize people to clean up all their headquarters and branches first. The main thing is to rescue people and take away their materials, money and tools. Don't leave anything to them. Just let them continue hiding down there.”
"yes!"
The commander went back and continued to execute the order.
Zhao Jun raised his head and looked at the moon sky.
Being able to eliminate the Worry-free Cave this time is already a huge gain.
There is nothing anyone can do about it.
The terrain below is too complicated. Without hundreds of thousands of troops, it is impossible to clear out everything inside.
However, as long as their main stronghold is removed, all the victims are rescued, and all supplies are moved away. The remaining people are short of food and clothing. I believe that the people below will not be able to hold on for long. When Bianliang floods next spring, they will be able to This cancer has been eradicated completely.
Chapter 2 may be late because I have to watch the game 0.0
