Zhongzhou is rich in mountains and caves, especially in the southwest, which has the longest, longest and most amazing caves.
Perhaps the resources on the ground are already abundant enough, so people who live near the sea in the east of Zhongzhou have less ideas underground.
Except for the wild beasts in the mountains and forests who have not yet developed their spiritual intelligence and live in caves based on habit, and the mountaineers who occasionally borrow shelter from the rain in shallow caves, few people explore the depths of the pitch-black caves.
A little man like this can save his life by accidentally falling into a pothole. Even if he doesn't burn incense to wish him good luck and good luck, how can he get tired of living and have to crawl into death?
Therefore, the huge cave hidden in Zheyun Ridge was almost taken by the Red Sect as its own.
Karst caves are naturally formed. The advantage is that they don’t require much manpower to dig. The disadvantage is that the larger the space, the harder it is to fully control it, because you never know which rock wall there is a cave behind.
The small hole discovered by the little man is equivalent to the small ear room in a large house, except that the main room in a large house is usually connected to the ear room, and this "ear hole" had not been connected to the main room before Xie Fei brought people to investigate.
Holes and orifices.
The main cave behind Xiaodongtian has a long history. It is a place used by the Red Clothes Sect to store dry food, weapons and goods. It is called the "Secret Cave of Sacrifice" within the Red Clothes Sect.
The Red Clothes Sect occupies half of Zhongzhou's water transportation, and the goods transported by them are often less than 10%. At first, most shippers were quite dissatisfied with the Red Clothes Sect's overbearing behavior of collecting freight and stealing goods, and repeatedly argued with them.
I tried hard to no avail, and I heard that those who found another carrier had to lose everything after ten trips, and the two or three trips that could still maintain full load at the destination would have to waste a lot of time. After weighing the two factors, I had to admit it honestly.
The "rules" of the Red Sect.
Those intercepted goods will be given priority to fill the warehouses of water transport terminals in various places of the Red Sect. The remaining goods that can withstand long-term storage will be divided into small batches, or even carried by a single person and slowly gathered into this secret sacrificial cave.
, so as to avoid being noticed by others to the greatest extent.
The water flows slowly, and over the years, the things accumulated in the Secret Sacrifice Cave are far from being rich enough to rival the country. However, Xie Fei has made a conservative estimate that if a war breaks out, the materials in this cave will be enough to provide 10,000 soldiers with three meals a day.
Year after year!
To do this, of course, one must be careful and leave no trace as much as possible, so this part of the work is basically completed by the members of Jitang. Over time, the secret sacrificial cave has become the fiefdom of Wang Shuo, the leader of Jitang.
After all, the Red Sect's main business is water transportation. On the surface, each branch church has either set up its home directly next to the dock warehouse or built a dock next to the port. Due to geographical constraints, no branch church has a larger entrance than this cave.
There are not many people who can secretly experience the pleasure of being a great king of Fanshan and a local emperor in this place with high mountains and far away.
Fortunately, no matter how extravagant Wang Shuo is, he will still restrain himself and his subordinates to adhere to a bottom line. As long as there is more than half a month left before things go bad after entering the cave, they will never misappropriate them without permission.
Once someone is found to have violated the rules, regardless of his or her position, punishment with a cane will be a minor punishment, while cramps and peeling will be a death penalty.
It is precisely because it dares to discipline itself and others with iron discipline, and its intelligence system is slightly weaker than that of most gangs in Zhongzhou, that the Red Clothes Cult Blood Network has been managed and trained by Wang Shuo in the past ten years to a certain extent.
Wang Shuo's importance to the Red Sect is self-evident, and he should enjoy a very high reputation. When the sect decides to make some noise in the southwest region of Zhongzhou, it must have this capable person who has no reputation to preside over it.
The big picture.
If not, even if you have done enough homework in advance, even if everyone in Tingyu Pavilion is outstanding, even if you can go deep into the enemy's belly and attack Huanglong, with the opponent's skill, there is no possibility of being killed by a sneak attack, and with the opponent's ability to respond to danger, the cave will
Three hundred people have been mobilized, and they may not be able to come back.
In other words, if Wang Shuo was personally in charge, Tingyuge's idea of exploiting this secret sacrificial cave would be the same as throwing himself into a trap.
Tingyu Pavilion did not come from a trap, nor did it intend to occupy the magpie's nest, nor did it have the ability to move the world and collect these materials.
A secret cave. A secret cave that contains almost as much luggage as a large granary. If it is exposed to the public, will the Red Church not be so angry that it will throw itself into disarray? Will the court and other forces be restless and ask for help from the Red Church?
What are the benefits of the argument? With the help of other external forces, it can undoubtedly set off a huge uproar.
Most of these external forces are plans that Tingyu Pavilion, Tushita Gang, and Buji Island are about to implement this time.
According to what Luo Piaoling said, with the north-south Sangba River in Ningchuan territory dividing Zhongzhou from east to west, 70% of the seventy-four matters need to be resolved in the west. Even if Tingyu Pavilion wanted to deal with it, it would be beyond its reach, so it would be better to let Xie Fei and
Smiling Maitreya went to work hard, and Tingyu Pavilion only had 30% left to make targeted arrangements and use his strength on the blade.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Jiang Yichen still captured Luo Piaoling's implicit trust in Xie Fei and Smiling Maitreya from his words. He didn't know how many times the three parties had to cooperate to develop such a tacit understanding.
In this secret operation, Tingyu Pavilion dispatched thirty people, divided into five groups.
To deal with the Red Sect alone, there were nine people on this route, because this route had the longest front, the most enemies, and the most danger.
Yes, there are not many soldiers and nobles, and the same is true for the secret caves of sacrifices.
No matter what it is used for in the future, the existence of the secret reserve granary must not be known to outsiders. Once discovered, there will undoubtedly be only three words - kill without mercy!
Among the members of the hall in the secret cave of sacrifice, except for the two deputy hall masters who temporarily act as the hall master, they have the strength of first-rate to top masters, and the twenty incense masters have the strength of second-rate masters, and the rest range from deacons to minions and handymen.
, Dancing Girl, even if her actual combat ability is not as good as that of other gang members of the same status, her ability to apply oil on her feet is definitely superior.
In addition, in order to prevent unexpected changes, Jitang not only did not block his escape route after entering the main cave, but also set up three entrances and exits according to the direction of the cave.
One is at the Gaopeng Inn in Chuzhou County next door.
Hidden away in the city, if it weren't for the exposure of Xiaodongtian that made people follow the clues, no one would dare to think that the inn where there are usually many guests has a secret passage leading to the mountain. This is better than opening a restaurant in a dense forest with few people.
The second place was a dry well in a deep forest thirty miles away from where Jiang Yichen and others entered the cave.
Dry Well is an ancient well. It is no older than the karst cave, but it must be older than the emergence of the secret sacrificial cave. Jitang specially made an opening at the bottom of the well and decorated it so that it is not easy to detect. It is obviously for emergency use.
The third place is the main entrance, which is located in the cellar of the wine shop that was originally the village chief's house in Baize Village.
When the devil destroyed the village, the location of the main entrance was almost exposed. As the corpses of the villagers and the village were burned to the ground by righteous people, rumors spread from time to time about the ghosts crying during the day and demanding their lives at night. Instead, it became an invisible barrier, hiding the secret.
Sexuality is greatly enhanced.
Therefore, as long as the incoming enemy cannot kill the people in the cave quickly and accurately, there will be a risk of catching the turtle in the jar if the news is leaked.
Compared to the time when Xie Yongchang, Aban and the other six people forced their way into Yinsha's underworld, which required bravery without fear of death, this time Tingyuge and others wanted to destroy the secret sacrificial cave, which was more important than tactical division of labor.
The nine people from Tingyuge are Nidie, Feipiao, Jiang Yichen, Xixia, Zifeng, Si'er, Piaoying, Dongqing, and Jinse.
Jin Se is only one year older than Jiang Yichen, but looks like a child of about ten years old. He was picked up by Shi Zhonghuo after Tingyu Pavilion was established. He has excellent martial arts talent and now studies under Dong Qing.
Nine people are divided into two groups.
Si'er and Piaoying did not go into the cave, but went to stay in the dry well in the deep forest and the cellar of the Baize Village ruins.
Although there is some distance between the two places, as long as Si'er keeps a close eye, no one can escape Piao Ying's hunting.
Among the other seven, Xixia, Zifeng, and Jinse are slightly less powerful.
After the seven people entered the cave, they should first clear the defenses at the three entrances and exits.
Xixia and Zifeng guard the exit of the dry well.
Nidie and Jinse will then guard the secret passage leading to Gaopeng's Inn.
With the two of them hunting outside, Feipiao, Jiang Yichen, and Dong Qing can tackle the difficult task with peace of mind.
Before coming here, Xi Xia had already drawn a rough map of the secret sacrificial cave based on Jiang Yichen's report.
After entering the cave, everyone followed the map and quietly eliminated three groups of patrolling guards along the way, as if they were in an uninhabited land.
Tian Piti saw that besides recording many events, he also had to memorize the direction of the secret cave. He didn't know how much hair Jiang Yichen would lose.
At the same time, one can't help but be surprised as to who among the Tushita gang could explore the secret cave thoroughly without being noticed.
Guided by the map, the seven people soon approached the living room of Wu Meiniang, Wang Shuo's concubine and one of the deputy heads of his hall.
It is said to be a "room", but it is actually a curved space that is naturally sunken into the wall.
The brocade cloth is pulled up outside to block the view, which serves as both a wall curtain and a door curtain. Inside, a bed table, tables, chairs and other daily necessities are arranged. It can be regarded as a small and warm women's boudoir.
After the seven people arrived, they saw that the curtains were closed, the lights were not on, and there was not even a single person in sight. It was obvious that they were in vain.
Knowing that the other party would not leave the secret cave easily, everyone was not in a hurry. However, they had to be more vigilant in the ensuing fight to prevent the dancing girl from discovering their whereabouts when she came back to rest, and issued a warning to organize resistance.
Continue along the stone path, and after walking a little further, you will find a corridor.
On the map, the corridor is more than one foot wide and fifteen feet long. It is the residence of thirty dancing girls.
This corridor seems to be quite spacious, with enough room for thirty dancers to lie down in two rows and still have room to turn over.
But after stuffing thirty sets of bedding, clothes, and four dressing tables, the space for everyone's activities seemed extremely cramped.
Fortunately, the chamber pot was placed in a small stone room not far from the corridor, otherwise these poor people would have to be seduced by incense and accompanied by filth.
The closer we get to the entrance of the corridor, the sounds coming from the corridor become clearer and clearer.
Nidie made a silent gesture, and the other six people stopped and pressed against the wall, waiting for instructions.
