Chapter 2995 Lurking by the River

After holding back for several days, we can finally take action. But people like us who can't sit still can't stand this long wait, so we might as well just fight.

When we heard the alarm from the special task force, we all jumped out of bed as if we were given an injection of chicken blood and ran downstairs.

When we got downstairs, we saw Minister Xiao and Tang Shangning already standing there, with Liu Xiangdong and several leaders of the special investigation team beside them.

In addition to the special task force, there were also some external aids, including Taoist priests and monks.

These people should be local masters in Jingzhou, and I don’t know any of them.

The sloppy Taoist priest was good at networking and he knew something about it. He had been very busy these days and had been running around everywhere. He knew how many rat holes the Jingzhou Special Task Force had. He told us that these old Taoist priests included those from Nanyue Taoist Temple and Ziyun Ancient Temple, and as for those big monks, they were from Guangming Temple, Jingxin Temple and Wanfo Temple. He had become very familiar with those people, and they could take care of each other if they encountered any trouble.

Everyone has to give some face to this sloppy Taoist priest because of the name of Maoshan Sect.

But it’s not a bad thing for him to do this, as he can accumulate more connections so that they can help each other in case of danger.

Soon, all of us gathered in the compound.

Minister Xiao spoke a few words in a serious manner to boost morale, then waved his hand and asked everyone to get on the bus.

We didn't know where we were going, so we could only follow.

Several of us squeezed into a broken van, and Zhang Qingan was with us.

This old man was also very depressed. He agreed to come over to meet and have a drink, but ended up asking him to come over and fight.

Zhang Qingan was sitting in the car, still mumbling, "Oh, you guys, can't you wait until my grandson is born before calling me out? Every time I go out, it's such a dangerous thing. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to see my grandson."

"Mr. Zhang, don't worry. Just follow us and nothing will happen." The sloppy Taoist priest chuckled.

"I feel uneasy just following you guys. If it were another group of people, I wouldn't be afraid." Zhang Qing'an shook his head helplessly.

"Senior Zhang, you are at the right age to make a living. Your eldest grandson's food, clothing, shelter and shelter all cost money. If you join us in this big job, we will definitely not treat you unfairly." I said with a smile.

"A forced melon is not sweet. You can't force me to do it." Zhang Qing'an sighed.

"Although it's not sweet, it quenches your thirst. Senior Zhang, just stay here." Xiaopang made a final summary, leaving Zhang Qing'an completely speechless.

After leaving the special investigation team’s gate, the car drove further and further away.

Come to think of it, the Jiuzhou Ding must not be in Jingzhou city. It must be in the wilderness or in some remote place.

The cars were driving very slowly, and as soon as they left the special task force's gate, the dozen or so vans left in different directions.

I guess it's because so many vans gathered together would make the target too big and easily arouse the vigilance of the Taoist priest, so they acted separately and finally gathered together.

After more than an hour, the car turned many corners and finally arrived at a small village by the river.

We were a little confused and didn't know what was going on.

There was a van leading the way in front, and we followed the van and stopped in a large yard.

As soon as the car stopped, I saw Xiao Wang standing next to the car.

"Team Leader Wu, Minister Tang asked you to come over." Xiao Wang looked a little anxious.

I responded and followed Xiao Wang towards the room in front. The sloppy Taoist priest and the others soon followed.

"Everyone, just let Team Leader Wu go alone. The room is a bit small and can't accommodate so many people." Xiao Wang said very politely.

The sloppy Taoist priest and his men responded and went back to the car to wait. I followed Xiao Wang into the house in front.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw several familiar faces, including Minister Xiao, Tang Shangning, Liu Xiangdong, and his son Liu Hao.

In addition to them, there were also a few Taoist priests and monks.

The room was indeed a little small, and this person couldn't stand still.

What I don't understand is that Liu Hao is a fresh graduate, how can he be qualified to enter this place? Could it be because he is Liu Xiangdong's son?

As soon as I came in, Liu Hao greeted me warmly: "Brother Wu, you are here..."

I responded, nodded, glanced at Tang Shangning, and called him Uncle Tang.

Tang Shangning nodded and looked at the monitor in front of him.

In front of the monitor, a member of the special investigation team was sitting. He pointed at the blurry picture on the monitor and said, "Minister Xiao, Minister Tang... The camera is a little far from the river surface, so we can only see these things."

I stared at the screen and saw twenty or thirty figures swaying on the wide river surface. They were all wearing black clothes, with their faces covered, and they kept throwing something into the river.

It was just because it was dark, the picture was blurry and I couldn't see clearly what those people looked like.

Just by taking a glance, I concluded that these were people from the Yi Guan Dao.

"Uncle Tang, what's going on?" I looked at Tang Shangning in surprise.

Tang Shangning said in a deep voice: "Our undercover said that Yiguandao has activities near Baota Bay. There happens to be a very secret camera nearby, which can capture some footage."

"So, the Jiuzhou Ding is under the river?" I was stunned.

"It should be like this, otherwise people from Yiguandao wouldn't appear here." Tang Shangning looked solemn.

"What are you waiting for? Take action now and stop the people from Yiguandao from stealing the Jiuzhou Ding." I was a little anxious.

"Don't worry. Our people haven't arrived yet. I've already notified people to block the surroundings. After everyone is here, we'll rush forward and capture those Yiguandao people in one fell swoop." Minister Xiao said confidently.

"Xiao Jie, you and your group of brothers should sneak over there first, hide by the river, and act according to the situation. This village is very close to Pagoda Bay, so remember not to expose your whereabouts. I will arrange for the rest of the people to block the river and try not to let anyone from Yiguandao leave here alive." Tang Shangning patted my shoulder.

"Uncle Tang, don't worry, this is not the first time I've done this."

I smiled and waved, turning to leave. At this moment, Liu Hao suddenly stepped forward and said, "Brother Wu, can I follow you? I promise I won't hold you back."

I didn't expect Liu Hao to say this suddenly. I didn't know how to answer. At this time, Liu Xiangdong snorted coldly: "Why are you following him? Just stay with me and don't go anywhere."
