C298 The clue is on the map

The military and the National Security Bureau immediately sent people to Cai Dexi's hometown, a small mountain village on the back of Dongyang County.

Because he was afraid that the people from the "Tang Sect" or "Wind Devil Clan" would follow them and plunder those cultural relics and Cai Huan Yuan's grave robbing notes, Zhou Hao also went along.

The standard of living in this little mountain village was relatively low, and it couldn't even be compared to the Huayu Village from before.

On the other hand, Cai Huan Yuan's old house was a very simple and crude mud house. Next to it, there was a small pond.

The NSA immediately used a pump to drain the pond. They dug up the mud at the bottom of the pond and found four large boxes filled with oil paper to prevent the water from seeping.

After opening the big boxes, Zhou Hao and the rest were stunned, because the inside were all filled with ancient cultural relics and all types of materials.

Just by looking at their appearances, Zhou Hao knew that these were all National Artifacts. If they were all sold out, it would sell for at least a few hundred million.

At the bottom of one of the chests were two layers of gold. It must have been obtained from the sale of the cultural relics by Cai Gangyuan.

He was smart enough to know that paper money could be devalued, so he changed it all to gold. Estimates show that the gold is worth tens of millions of yuan.

"No wonder Cai Dexi was able to sit as the county governor." Looking at these cultural relics and gold, Zhou Hao sighed.

However, what he was most concerned about was not this, but the tomb robbing notebook that Cai De Xi had mentioned.

Sure enough, not long after, the National Security Agency found half an old notebook in a blue and white porcelain vase. It was most likely the notes of Cai's grave robbing.

Since they found it, Zhou Hao and the others had no need to stay here. They loaded all the big boxes into the car.

Zhou Hao also took the grave robbing notebook and left the small mountain village together to return.

In the carriage, Zhou Hao impatiently opened the half notebook left behind by Cai Gangyuan.

From the tomb robbing notes, Zhou Hao realised that this Cai Gangyuan was indeed a brilliant tomb robber.

From the age of 16 to 17, there had been no less than a hundred ancient tombs in his life, but they were all small and medium-sized ancient tombs.

Even if he joined forces with the other tomb robbers, they would still not dare to enter the tomb lightly. This was because there were many mechanisms inside, and if one was not careful, they would end up dying.

The notebook mentioned that Cai had accidentally found Feng Dao's tomb.

Because he had previously heard that the "Imperial Jade Seal" was in Feng Dao's mausoleum, Cai Baiyuan could not wait to dive in.

However, even though Feng Dao's mausoleum had many valuable burial objects, there was no trace of the "Imperial Jade Seal".

In Feng Dao's coffin, there was only a single map. According to Cai Baiyuan's estimation, this map recorded the location of the "Imperial Jade Seal".

However, the notebook was gone from there, there was still half that had been torn off. Judging from how old and decrepit the tear was, Zhou Hao guessed that the second half had been torn off many years ago.

"Damn it!" Knowing that the clue of "Imperial Jade Seal" was on a map but there was not a single trace of that map, Zhou Hao could not help but to curse.

However, the reason why the "Wind Devil Clan" 's "Secret Spirit, True God Tian, was hiding in the Public Security Bureau and intentionally trying to get close to Cai Xuehui was to find this notebook.

Now it seemed that what they knew wasn't as much as what Zhou Hao knew.

As the son of Cai Gangyuan, even Cai Dexi didn't know much about it. Therefore, the clues regarding the "Imperial Jade Seal" were stopped here.

"But, to find these artifacts and gold, it's not like I returned empty-handed." Zhou Hao said as he looked at the big boxes.

After returning, Zhou Hao told Zhao Dingzhou and Xiang Tao Jie the entire situation. When the two of them heard that the clues regarding the "Imperial Jade Seal" had been interrupted, they revealed disappointed expressions.

It would have been better if this heavenly treasure had not appeared. However, just its appearance alone was enough to cause such a huge commotion. It truly caught one off guard.

Zhao Dingzhou said: "However, compared to the Imperial Jade Seal, I am more concerned about the 'Tang Sect' and 'Wind Devil Clan'."

Zhou Hao nodded his head, "The 'Tang Sect' is still better. After all, they are the Tang Dynasty's remnants, and can be considered the most authentic 'Tang people'.

Moreover, they had never participated in the politics and lived a life close to seclusion. They were only interested in the Imperial Jade Seal.

However, those people from the 'Wind Devil Clan' have been lurking in our country since the start of the war.

"Especially since these two organizations have very strong men. They were able to sneak into the military camp when we were setting up all these buildings. We, the National Security Bureau, even sacrificed a commissioner."

He said to Tao Jie, "These people are even more powerful than our country's special forces. If they were used by the national government to scout out the situation, it would be extremely useful."

Zhao Dingzhou snorted, "Although these people are much stronger than the special forces under us.

However, if they are allowed to go head to head with First Army, I believe that they will definitely not benefit from it either. "

"First Army?" Xiang Tao Jie was slightly moved as well.

"I once heard from the Minister that that was the most powerful and mysterious force in our country. They have repeatedly fought against the four major intelligence agencies of the world without losing out in the slightest."

Hearing Zhao Dingzhou's and Xiang Tao Jie's words, Zhou Hao's heart was also a little shaken.

He knew that the four largest intelligence services in the world were the CIA, the National Security Council of the former Soviet Union, and the KGB.

There was also the Mossad Intelligence Service in Israel and the British MI5.

The intelligence services of these four different countries are well-known around the world.

In the First World War, all of them had great influence. The "007" represented many espionage movies in this context.

And Xiangtao Jie actually said that the "First Army" in the country was able to match up against these powerful intelligence agencies without losing out. Then, how strong was the "First Army"?

Although Zhou Hao was not very familiar with "Tang Sect" and "Wind Devil Clan", their formidable strength was still mainly manifested in the individual soldier's ability to lurk and fight.

If you added in the intelligence resources, funds and other indispensable strength, the "Tang Sect" and "Wind Devil Clan" could never compare to the intelligence agencies run by those countries.

Also, the four big intelligence agencies such as the CIA were very famous around the world, but Zhou Hao had only heard about the "First Army" mentioned by Zhao Dingzhou and Tao Jie now.

This did not mean that the "First Army" was weak, but was instead superior to the four major intelligence agencies in terms of hiding.

Because the intelligence services of the United States, the Soviet Union, Israel and the United Kingdom were so famous, every country was wary.

On the contrary, most people think that the shortage of laggards in Chinese intelligence equipment makes it easier to infiltrate information by relaxing their vigilance towards China.

As a result, Zhou Hao now had a deep interest in that mysterious "First Army". Especially the brilliant legend of the battle between them and the four major intelligence agencies, it was really fascinating.

"The 'First Army' is not under the jurisdiction of our security bureau nor under the jurisdiction of the military. It is a private, private, independent department."

Tao Jie smiled at Zhou Hao and said: "They are only responsible to the highest leader, so they are not restricted too much, and can maintain a high efficiency."

Zhao Dingzhou also said, "The current leader of the 'First Army' was once a comrade of Old Zhu."

He referred to Zhu Yongquan, commander of the Nanjing military district, as he said, "Zhu told me once that they were serving in a special guard company in Beijing.

That guy is so skilled that even the security company commander back then was no match for him. Old Zhu said that even until now, he had never seen such a powerful person. "

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhou Hao, and a complex expression flashed across his eyes.

What kind of person is Zhou Hao, he immediately caught sight of Zhao Dingzhou's gaze and was puzzled, "Why is big brother looking at me like that?

He can't be wanting me to join that 'First Army', right? Even though that 'First Army' is fascinating, I never thought of joining the army. "

However, Zhao Dingzhou only glanced at Zhou Hao, and did not mention anything about letting Zhou Hao join the army, which made Zhou Hao heave a sigh of relief.

Turning to Tao Jie, he said, "Okay, we will continue to investigate the Imperial Jade Seal.

Xiao Hao, you have to be careful. This time you have destroyed the matters of 'Tang Sect' and 'Wind Devil Clan', you have to be wary of their retaliation. "

"Humph!" If they dare to come, I'll make sure they don't go back. " Zhou Hao said coldly.

That said, what he said to Tao Jie was not without reason.

Especially those from the "Wind Devil Clan". Their bodies were equipped with bombs, and they were ready to perish together with the enemy at any time. This was not a small threat.

Zhao Dingzhou said: "Xiao Hao, those special forces that you invited before, originally still have a few days before you officially retire.

However, the people from 'Tang Sect' and 'Wind Devil Clan' are no small threat right now. I will just let them retire early and officially become your family's bodyguards. "

Zhou Hao happily agreed after hearing what he said, he thought that this Brother Zhao was truly a man of the world, he could already guess what he was looking for just by looking at his expression, "Thank you, Big Brother."

Thus, when they left the military region, Zhou Hao conveniently took the twenty odd formal retired commandos with him.

Zhou Hao planned to arrange two bodyguards for each of his family members and women. That way, he would feel more at ease when he wasn't by their side.
