The strong man stood up and was about to take action.

"That's enough."

On the other side, another middle-aged man shouted, "Do you want to die?"

Seeing him, the two gangs stopped in disappointment and no longer confronted each other.

The middle-aged man who spoke was called Li You. He was the deputy master of Wuyou Cave and had a very high status.

The owner of Wuyou Cave is just like the owner of Guifan Tower. He appears and disappears mysteriously and does not stay in their headquarters.

It is said that their identities have been whitewashed, and they are all wealthy businessmen in Bianliang on the surface, so the affairs below are basically handled by their right-hand men.

This has been recorded in historical documents.

For example, in Lin'an Prefecture, there was a leader of the Beggar Gang named Jin. His family had been the leader of the Beggar Gang for seven generations. He did not live on the streets like a beggar. Instead, he lived in a mansion and kept slaves. Historical books said that he "had plenty of grain in his granary, extra money in his pocket, and lent money out and had maids to work with."

It turned out that the middle-aged men who came from outside were from the Qinglong Society gang outside Wuyou Cave. The president was called Tian Sanlang, the burly man.

Tian Sanlang still had some conscience and did not help the people of Wuyou Cave to do such unscrupulous things. He just became Wuyou Cave's thug because of some things.

Before he escaped this time, he was caught by Zhao Jun. After checking his background, it was found that apart from fighting and collecting protection fees, he had not done anything like killing, looting, or kidnapping.

So Zhao Jun considered it over and over again and decided to give Tian Sanlang a chance. He detained his family members and promised to forgive him as long as he could make meritorious contributions while serving his sentence.

Originally, before coming down, Tian Sanlang was still hesitating whether to turn against the Wuyou Cave, because the reason why he became a thug in the Wuyou Cave was that the owner of the Wuyou Cave had done him a favor in the past and helped him find his relatives who were abducted by Gui Fanlou.

But after seeing the situation underground, he no longer hesitated and honestly became an insider of the Imperial City Bureau.

This was also within Zhao Jun's expectations.

The people Zhao Jun selected were all checked after information was checked. They are men of the world who are loyal, righteous, and have a bottom line in doing things.

Just like many people on Liangshan were forced to become bandits, some of them also had to become gangsters out of necessity.

In addition, their families and relatives are under control. As long as they go down the cave and see the situation below, it is estimated that no one will turn against them and betray the Imperial City Bureau.

After all, since ancient times, the people have not fought against the officials. They should understand who is stronger between the Imperial City Bureau and the evil forces below, and recognize the reality clearly.

At this moment, Tian Sanlang was staring at Li You.

This time, because of his position as the president of the peripheral society, he can enter the cave and reach the middle and senior levels, so the task assigned to him is to capture Li You.

He must not let the other party get away.

Time passed minute by minute, and it was night.

Due to the long period of darkness down there, day and night are reversed. Many people indulge themselves, eating, drinking and having fun as soon as they get up, and lying down when they are tired, and have long lost the distinction between night and day.

However, most people's basic biological clocks are still working, and they feel tired and sleepy at night, so the cave is much quieter.

By the beginning of the hour of Hai, which is around nine o'clock in the evening, many people have already gone to bed.

Suddenly.

A sharp whistle broke the silence.

“Beep, beep, beep!”

Outside the quiet cave, a shrill whistle was heard, instantly waking up everyone in the cave.

"What's going on?"

"The soldiers are coming in."

"Hurry, hurry, hurry."

“Run!”

In an instant, the Wuyou Cave was in chaos.

Because the headquarters was too close to Caihe, they set up outposts on the periphery.

Moreover, it is only about a mile from the river entrance to the headquarters, and there are seven or eight secret sentries in the middle, keeping an eye on it at all times.

However, what was unexpected was that almost at the moment when the whistle woke people up, there were earth-shaking shouts and cries of killing outside, and ships came in as fast as arrows.

It turned out that the officers and soldiers had not made any movement for more than two months, causing the sentries below to relax. They did not realize the position of the sentries until the officers and soldiers approached them. When they were about to blow the whistle, they were shot to death with crossbows by the officers and soldiers who had already figured out the position of the sentries.

If the sentry at the entrance of the headquarters had not been hiding in a dark cave and could not be reached by crossbow arrows shot from the river below, I am afraid that the officers and soldiers would have rushed in before they had time to react.

Almost at the moment the whistle sounded, the Imperial City Division's spies below in the cave all became alert.

The young men below immediately drew their sharp knives and tied red scarves around their right arms. Someone hurried out of the nearby cave, staring at them in surprise and asking, "What are you doing?"

"Fight with a knife."

Someone answered.

"The soldiers are coming in, can we resist?"

The man sneered and was about to run away.

A sharp knife suddenly stabbed into his back. Amidst his disbelieving gaze, the young man whispered, "I'm not fighting the soldiers, I'm fighting you!"

At this moment, the cave was in chaos. The shouts of officers and soldiers were getting closer and closer. A large number of torches poured in, adding a touch of heat to the already turbid air.

As a large number of officers and soldiers poured into the cave entrance, the cave became even more chaotic.

As soon as the people in the caves came out, they encountered the soldiers and the fighting started in an instant.

These were men who lived on the edge of a knife. Seeing that they could not retreat to the escape route, they gritted their teeth and fought with the others with knives in hand.

Di Qing's friend Zhang Zhong was responsible for leading two teams of guards to rush to the front. Just then, more than ten men came out of the cave on the right. He grinned, raised the knife in his hand and chopped at one of them on the head.

The man was caught off guard and was knocked to the ground with a chop on his head. Blood splattered everywhere, still warm.

When the others saw this scene, they became much more cowardly. In horror, they dared not charge forward anymore. They turned their heads and screamed, running deeper into the cave like crazy.
