"Damn it! How could the soldiers be so fast? What are those sentries doing outside?"

"These idiot thieves must be lazy."

"Don't worry about it for now. The headquarters has been lost. Let's escape to a secluded place first."

"I can't run anymore. They shouldn't be chasing us. Why don't we take a break first?"

"We're just ahead at the dark river. Let's go to the boat and rest."

Deep in the cave, in a dark and narrow passage, five or six people were running breathlessly.

These senior staff of Wuyou Cave have been living a life of luxury for many years, and they have lost their strength and are exhausted. Only the deputy cave master Li You is relatively calm and composed.

The cave is very humid, the ground is uneven, there are often pits and gravel, and the air is filled with a cold and foul smell.

Li You took a quick look at the surroundings. There were many branch entrances all around. The underground passage was already complicated, and Wuyou Cave had dug many more branch entrances, making the underground even more exaggerated than a maze.

Fortunately, he had been staying underground for many years and knew the way. Otherwise, if it were someone else, even the cave master would probably get lost and lose his way.

"It's just past here."

Li You pointed to a passage on the right and said, "Let's hide in the hidden cave we prepared earlier."

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 rushing.

There are four canals on the surface in Bianliang, but in fact there are a large number of underground rivers, said to be as many as twelve, and the water resources are extremely abundant.

These sewer rats hiding underground can rely on rivers for food, water, and excrement, and they don't need to go outside at all, so they have been able to survive for so long.

However, Li You knew the government wouldn't let it go and would likely launch a surprise attack. He couldn't abandon his headquarters, and with so many men and women, there was nowhere to hide. He could only hold out for now. He simply hadn't anticipated the government's swift attack.

Fortunately, I had a backup plan.

The group walked forward a few steps and sure enough, an underground river appeared in front of them.

Under the light of the torches, the underground river was about three or four feet wide, and the water flow was not fast. There was a small river beach several feet wide below the cave exit, and there was a boat on the beach.

As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. Li You also prepared several small caves in the lower cave, in which he hid not only food and money, but also identity documents. If they really couldn't bear it, they would choose to leave Bianliang and escape to other places.

Although leaving Bianliang meant giving up everything they had built up over the years, there was nothing they could do when it came to that. They had already hidden away hundreds of thousands of strings of cash worth of gold, silver, and jewelry, which was easy to carry, enough to last them a lifetime.

Several of Li You's confidants set up the ladder and were about to go down. The man in front had already jumped onto the river bank, took the torch handed over from above, and then walked to the boat, intending to tow the boat into the underground river.

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, "Brothers in the underworld value righteousness the most. Brothers live and die together, yet you abandoned everyone and fled alone. Isn't that a bit unkind?"

Li You frowned, but then he relaxed when he saw that Tian Sanlang only had five people with him. He smiled and said, "So it's Sanlang. Since you're here, let's go together."

"oh?"

Tian Sanlang clenched the sharp knife in his hand and asked with a smile, "Will the deputy cave master take us with him?"

"Of course, the boat down there is a bit big, so we need some help to tow it. Sanlang, you guys are just in time. Come and help us tow the boat into the river."

Li You waved his right hand, and at the same time, he made a hidden gesture with his left hand behind his back to several of his men.

There are eight people on his side.

Tian Sanlang said happily, "Really? That's great! I'll come and help you, cave master."

As he said this, he led his men forward as if he was defenseless.

Soon the two gangs approached, and when Tian Saburo was less than one meter away, Li You's eyes suddenly became sinister, and then he pulled out a sharp ox horn knife from his waist with his left hand and stabbed it fiercely at Tian Saburo.

He only prepared a small boat, which was basically enough for a few of his confidants and himself. Most of these confidants were brothers who had followed him for many years, and one of them was even his younger brother.

If Tian Saburo and his gang were allowed on board, the small boat would be in danger of capsizing.

More importantly, the gold, silver, jewelry and large amounts of supplies they hid were intended to allow them to stay underground for at least half a year. If Tian Saburo and the others were added, the supplies would not be enough to share, and he had no habit of sharing with others.

So Tian Saburo and his group must die!

However, just when Li You thought he could assassinate Tian Saburo unexpectedly, a sharp blade silently stabbed into his chest in the darkness.

At the same time, the hand that was stabbing at Tian Saburo was also tightly grasped by a strong and powerful hand, as if it was clamped by a pair of pliers and could not move at all.

Li You felt a pain in his chest and looked up at Tian Saburo in horror, only to find that the other person's face was also full of ferocious expressions.

“Why?”

His eyes were full of disbelief before he died. Who could have thought that Tian Saburo also wanted to kill him?

You have to know that he is the only one who knows the location of the hidden cave. If you kill him, Nada Saburo himself will not be able to find the location of the hidden cave.

Even if the other party guessed that he had bad intentions, how could he kill him? Isn't he afraid that he won't be able to find his hiding place and will be wiped out by the government in the end?

Tian Saburo grinned in his ear and said, "Zhisi asked me to give you his regards."
