Tang Shangning is a cautious person. Although I said I would help him get rid of Liu Xiangdong, he tried his best to stop me and felt that it was unnecessary.

I think Tang Shangning is too soft-hearted. Liu Xiangdong has been following him and always against him. Most of the time, it is Tang Shangning who does the work while Liu Xiangdong seeks credit from his superiors. He is not very capable and is good at flattering and stealing credit from others. Whenever he encounters good things, he will get involved and use his power for personal gain to keep the good things for himself.

Tang Shangning has been enduring it for so many years, but I really can't stand it anymore.

I have already made a plan in my mind. If Liu Xiangdong appears next time, I will find a way to kill him. If his position is higher than Tang Shangning in the future, then the people of our Sixth Regiment will be constrained by him in various ways, which would be a fate worse than death.

When I get back, I'll have the chance to discuss with Luo Laoliu on how to kill Liu Xiangdong without causing any trouble.

Luo Laoliu is a very cunning guy, he must have plenty of ways.

Afterwards, we returned to the special investigation team in Yanzhou. As soon as we arrived, I went back to the dormitory to rest.

But Tang Shangning was not as relaxed as I was. As a leader, he still had to hold a summary meeting to appease his subordinates.

Many of our men died in this operation. Almost every operation on Yiguandao results in the loss of lives.

There are a lot of things waiting for Tang Shangning to deal with. It is really not easy for him to be a leader. I can't help him and can only go back to sleep.

I slept very soundly and woke up in the second half of the night. I heard Uncle Huzi and Xiaopang next door snoring loudly.

I was bored, so I walked downstairs alone and came to the courtyard. Suddenly, I saw a red dot flashing. I walked over and found that it was Tang Shangning smoking.

"Uncle Tang, why haven't you slept yet?" I walked over and asked.

"I couldn't fall asleep after two or three hours of sleep, so I got up and smoked a cigarette." As he said that, Tang Shangning threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?"

"I slept too much during the day, so I got up and walked around. Uncle Tang can't sleep, is it because of Liu Xiangdong's matter? Don't worry, I will help him..." As I said that, I made a gesture of wiping my neck towards Tang Shangning, and then grinned.

Tang Shangning stood up and kicked me, and I quickly jumped to the side.

"If you dare to mention this to me again, I will kick your ass." Tang Shangning said angrily.

"Then why can't Uncle Tang sleep?" I moved closer again out of curiosity.

"You are such a heartless boy. You don't care about anything. I'm just worried that Yi Guan Dao will make a big move soon, so I can't sleep..." Tang Shangning sighed again, took out a cigarette, lit it and continued to smoke.

I've never seen Tang Shangning smoke before. It seems he is really worried.

"Uncle Tang, as long as you are alive, you have to be open-minded and think more open-mindedly. Think about it, I have a big disaster every three years, and small disasters happen all the time. I may die at any time. Is it useful for me to worry? It's useless. What is coming will come. If I can survive, I will live happily for three more years. If I can't survive, I can be a brave man again in eighteen years. It's unnecessary to think too much. It's better to live in the present." I comforted Tang Shangning.

Tang Shangning glanced at me and couldn't help but smile: "You are quite clear-headed, but it would be different if I were sitting in my current position. I would definitely have to think more about the others."

"Uncle Tang, tell me your worries and make me happy." I sat next to him, took the cigarette from his hand, lit it, put it in my mouth to taste it, and just after taking a puff, I almost choked on my snot.

Tang Shangning snatched the cigarette from my hand and started smoking: "Don't learn this, naughty boy..."

After taking a few puffs of his cigarette, Tang Shangning sighed and said to me, "Xiao Jie, you also know about the Jiuzhou Ding. It is said that when Dayu was controlling the flood, he gathered the strength of the whole country and cast nine large tripods. They were placed in the nine states. One of them is Yanzhou where we are now, and there are eight Jiuzhou Dings distributed in Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Liangzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Yongzhou, Qingzhou and Jizhou."

"The Jiuzhou Ding is an ancient artifact. Each of the big dings condenses the power of mountains, rivers and the five elements. All the major cave paradises in China are formed by the connection between the Jiuzhou Ding. If Bai Mile steals the power of the Jiuzhou Ding, it will definitely be a huge loss for the entire Chinese cultivation world."

Hearing this, I immediately said, "Uncle Tang, what you want to say is that we don't know where the other eight Jiuzhou Ding are, and you are worried that Bai Mile may know where those Jiuzhou Ding are hidden?"

Tang Shangning nodded and praised, "As expected of a college scumbag who I have watched grow up. Although he is not good at studying, he is quite smart."

Hearing Tang Shangning say this, I felt a little depressed. He was really talking about something irrelevant. I didn't know whether he was praising me or insulting me.

"Now I have informed the headquarters of the special task force. The headquarters has issued orders to all parts of Jiuzhou and dispatched a number of special task force personnel to Jiuzhou. If there is any disturbance, we must take immediate action. Not a single Jiuzhou Ding can fall into the hands of Yiguandao." Tang Shangning looked at me again when he said this.

"No... Uncle Tang, you won't ask me to handle everything concerning the Jiuzhou Ding in the future, right?" I finally understood why this old fox went around in so many circles. It turned out that he was trying to trick me.

Tang Shangning walked over and patted my shoulder. "Xiao Jie, with every ability comes a great responsibility. You have made great progress now. You have reached the ghost fairy realm at such a young age. Moreover... with all kinds of powers added to you, you won't be afraid of fighting an earth fairy. The special task force cannot do without you."

I quickly pushed Tang Shangning's hand away: "Uncle Tang, don't say these useless things. I'm very busy. This is the job of your special investigation team. I still have business to do."

"I promise that any good things you come across in the future will be yours. Is that okay?" Tang Shangning walked over with a smile.

"No, I'm a little sleepy. I'll go back to sleep first and talk about this tomorrow." With that, I ran away and ran all the way back to the dormitory.

After I went back, of course I couldn't sleep. In fact, I was quite worried. There were still eight Jiuzhou Dings, and each of them contained powerful energy. If the power of one of them was devoured by Bai Mile, the consequences would be disastrous.
