Bright Sword: I don’t want to be the king!

That's right, ordinary people would not want to take someone's life just because of a suspicion.

Therefore, in Cao Geng's eyes, Zheng Xiao's behavior was extremely abnormal...

Brigade Commander Chen said in a deep voice: "Strange! This person has been fine all the time, why would he suddenly become like this? This goes against common sense. We must investigate it more carefully. What do you think?"

Cao Geng nodded slightly: "It should indeed be thoroughly investigated. I don't want to accuse him wrongly, and I don't want to believe that the truth is like this."

The brigade commander nodded and immediately ordered an investigation. This matter was extremely difficult.

Zheng Xiao knew that no one could do anything to him without evidence. So, after the incident, Zheng Xiao kept silent and began to look for a new opportunity.

Zheng Yi was puzzled and confused as to why things had turned out to be like this.

Inside the military camp, in a mysterious hall, Cao Geng and Brigade Commander Chen stood in front of a room full of gold.

Brigade Commander Chen said, "Cao Geng, the deputy commander-in-chief has given me a difficult task. This batch of gold must not be sent to the original place, but to the distant northern Shaanxi. What do you think?"

"what?"

Cao Geng was extremely surprised: "Are you serious?"

Indeed, how easy is it to transport such a valuable treasure across thousands of miles and through enemy-occupied territory?

However, Cao Geng had to admit that only when the gold was delivered to that place could it realize its greatest value.

The brigade commander said dissatisfiedly: "Don't you claim to be a capable person? You left Taiyuan as soon as you said you would, and you came back as soon as you said you would, and you even vowed to defeat the Japanese airport. Why are you hesitating now? Isn't that right? You promised that the task of escorting the gold would be given to you. You also threatened that no one would dare to touch it! Are you shrinking now?"

Cao Geng rolled his eyes and said, "Brigade Commander, you don't need to gossip. These things don't work on me. I did say that there is no problem in sending them to northern Shaanxi. However, the premise is that you have to make sure that the Japanese airships will not attack. Otherwise, no matter how many people escort them, it will be in vain. What do you think?"

"Um……"

The brigade commander nodded and softened his tone: "You still want to destroy the Japanese airship base?"

Cao Geng answered affirmatively: "Yes, that's exactly what I mean. If the Japanese airship base is destroyed, this batch of gold will be safe no matter where it is sent. Otherwise, all wishes are in vain."

Indeed, the army's confrontation with the airship force is undoubtedly like an egg hitting a rock, this is an eternal law.

"hiss……"

The brigade commander had a headache.

"Boy, do you understand? Your superiors don't allow you to bomb the airport because they are protecting you. Do you know how dangerous it is?"

Cao Geng responded: "I know that, but if we don't destroy the Japanese airfield, we will always be controlled by them and will never be able to truly defeat them. So I have to try anyway."

"You kid!"

The brigade commander was speechless and felt a mixture of love and hate.

"Okay, I'll try again."

The brigade commander had no choice.

He knew that the gold could not be transferred safely unless the airport was blown up.

In the deputy commander-in-chief's operations room, the deputy commander-in-chief paced back and forth holding the brigade commander's communicator.

Although he had never met Cao Geng, he had already investigated him and knew that he was the super treasure of the 386th Brigade...

Prior to this, Commander Chen had sent him a message in the form of a magic letter, intending to use his authority as deputy commander-in-chief to restrain Cao Geng so that he would not act rashly. In the final analysis, Commander Chen did not want Cao Geng to take the risk.

Facts have proved that although Cao Geng acted wildly, he always obeyed the orders of the deputy commander-in-chief.

Even if Cao Geng was willing to obey orders and stop attacking the enemy's sky barrier - the airport, he now received a second identical magic letter. What did this mean?

The meaning is clear. The previous magic letter was Cao Geng's intention, while the current letter carries the true thoughts of Brigade Commander Chen.

The letter clearly pointed out that only by destroying the enemy's sky barrier can the golden destiny be launched.

The deputy commander paced back and forth, and suddenly slammed the magic letter on the stone table.

"Everyone, let's discuss how to deal with this matter. Master, I especially want to hear your opinion."

The division commander who was sitting nearby stood up, pondered for a while, and said, "I know Cao Geng very well. He has made great contributions to the success of our 129th Division. I really don't want to put such a talented person in danger."

The deputy commander breathed a sigh of relief and responded, "So, you mean to refuse. Okay, I will convey your thoughts to Brigade Commander Chen."

"Wait a minute."

The division commander suggested: "Deputy commander, let's leave this matter to Brigade Commander Chen to decide!"

That’s right, they are his subordinates, so it is most appropriate for him to make the decision.

In a flash, the magic letter fell into the hands of Brigade Commander Chen.

Brigade Commander Chen read the letter and let out a deep breath.

"Tell me honestly, boy, what are your chances of success against those alien sky barriers?"

Cao Geng answered without hesitation: "Eighty percent."

"Once you destroy their sky barrier, how confident are you that you can return safely? I must remind you that once you cross that border, you will be alone and helpless, and you will have to rely on yourself for everything."

Cao Geng responded, "Brigade Commander, I have killed and returned even the enemies with the rank of lieutenant general and major general of the alien race. If I destroy their sky barrier, I will surely be able to return safely."

The brigade commander asked, "How many people do you plan to take with you?"

Cao Geng replied: "The original team of my kitchen staff."

Brigade Commander Chen remained silent upon hearing this.

"What about your Ninth Battalion?"

indeed!

The backbone of the kitchen team are all the grassroots officers of the Ninth Battalion. If they leave, wouldn’t the Ninth Battalion be leaderless?

Besides, these people are all elites!

If we lose one person, it would be as painful as cutting off a piece of flesh from Brigade Commander Chen's body.

Cao Geng said: "Those who achieve great things do not pay attention to small details. Brigade Commander, you can manage the entire brigade in an orderly manner, so how difficult is it for you to manage a battalion?"

"That's easy for you to say, kid. No, let's discuss this matter later. I need to think about it again."

"Okay, take your time to think about it. I'm not in a hurry."

Cao Geng left this sentence and left the command hall.

"Where are you going, kid?"

Cao Geng replied: "To visit the injured warriors."

If there are any rational people left in the foreign country, they are probably the doctors.

After Cao Geng and others occupied Luyang City, although the doctors in the foreign hospital were resistant, they still treated the wounded diligently.

Doctors have no boundaries, and treating the sick is the sacred duty of every doctor!

In this era where magic and honor coexist, doctors still maintain their noble medical ethics.

What is particularly important is that their relatives all live in Luyang Fort.

Think deeply, think carefully.

Cao Geng led Duan Peng into the Mage's Healing Center. Seeing those soldiers with strange injuries and the magical nurses who took care of them, Cao Geng recalled an old friend.

Well, he remembered Zhou Xueman, the female magician in white who often threatened him with ice crystal salt magic.

Cao Geng suddenly asked: "Duan Peng, do you know where our rebel army's healing place is located now?"

Duan Peng shook his head and replied, "I don't know."

Cao Geng said with a hint of reproach: "As a deputy captain, you don't even know the location of the healing center."

Duan Peng rolled his eyes: "Even the captain doesn't know, so if I, the deputy captain, don't know, does that count as dereliction of duty?"

Cao Geng was speechless for a moment.

He then asked, "Is there any way to find out?"

Duan Peng replied: "It's simple. Just go and ask the brigade commander."

Cao Geng nodded and said, "There is a shortage of medical resources over there. Do you think we should collect some medicine and send it over?"

Duan Peng nodded in agreement: "Of course, especially one should be given to Zhou Xueman."

"Duan Peng, do you want to be beaten, old man?"

Duan Peng was speechless: "Why is it so hard to hear the truth in today's world?"

Inside the rebel army medical hospital.

In the dean's study.

Zhou Xueman came upon summons.

Zhou Xueman walked into the study and asked, "Dean, do you want to talk to me about something?"

The old dean nodded and smiled, looking at her kindly, and said, "Xiao Zhou! I called you here today because I have a private matter to discuss with you."

Zhou Xueman was startled and asked in confusion: "Dean, what is this private matter?"

The old dean pondered for a moment and said, "Xiao Zhou, you are also of marriageable age. Do you have a sweetheart?"

Uh?

Zhou Xueman was stunned, and the image of the honest boy who always had a sly smile on his face and loved to call her "girl" emerged in her mind.

Is he your sweetheart?

Zhou Xueman thought about it and shook her head: "No."

"Ha ha……"

The old dean laughed heartily.

He said, "Xiao Zhou, someone came to me to make a match for you. Do you have any idea of ​​starting a family?"

Uh?

Zhou Xueman quickly shook her head: "Dean, I haven't thought about it yet. Now I just want to do my best for the uprising and drive out the evil invaders from other worlds as soon as possible."

"Ha ha……"

The old dean smiled and said, "Your ambition is commendable, but personal matters cannot be delayed. Do you know Dr. Zhang, the new doctor in our healing center? I think he is a good person. Why don't you try to get along with him?"

Zhou Xueman suddenly felt at a loss.

"Director, it's not necessary, is it? He is a doctor from a big city, how could he be interested in a little nurse like me?"

"Haha, you don't have to worry about that. He is interested in you and came to me to help you get over it. I think young people should communicate more."

Zhou Xueman walked out of the dean's office, feeling uneasy.

This sudden news was too unexpected for her.

Li Yueying walked up to her, pulled her aside and asked, "Sister Xueman, what's wrong with you? What did the dean say to you?"

"oops!"

Zhou Xueman realized it after a while and responded, "It's okay."

At this moment, a male doctor named Zhang Guangbei came towards them, and when he saw Zhou Xueman, he immediately smiled.

"Sherman, I'm on leave tomorrow, and I've asked the dean for leave for you. How about we go explore the fantasy world on the outskirts of the city together tomorrow?"

After hearing this, Zhou Xueman replied coldly: "Doctor Zhang, what right do you have to ask for leave for me? Have you asked for my opinion?"

Li Yueying immediately interrupted: "Doctor Zhang, you are abusing your position, do you understand?"

Obviously, this Zhang Guangbei is the Xiao Zhang mentioned by the dean.

Zhou Xueman said firmly: "Doctor Zhang, you don't have to waste your time. There will be no intersection between us."

After saying that, he took Li Yueying's arm and left.

Doctor Zhang Guangbei had an old face, a short stature, and a poor temperament. It was strange that Zhou Xueman had a good impression of him.

Looking at the backs of the two people, Zhang Guangbei never expected Zhou Xueman to react like this. He gnashed his teeth in anger and said, "You stinky girl, just wait for me."

Zhou Xueman's meaning was clear as day, she simply disdained to pay attention to him.

This was a huge blow to Zhang Guangbei. He was the best doctor in China. How much trouble and cost did the Eighth Route Army go through to invite him?

Zhang Guangbei firmly believed that he deserved special privileges here in the Tubalu.

Yes, his guess was correct. Here, even the dean had to give him some respect.

Since he came here, he has always been high above.

However, he had never expected to be thwarted in front of a woman, which made him feel humiliated and furious.

This hateful woman is so ungrateful.

While Zhou Xueman was walking, Li Yueying kept chattering beside her.

"Sister Xueman, Doctor Zhang is really overestimating himself. How old is he? Almost 40, right? He's still eyeing young girls. He's short, mean, and ugly. I feel sick the moment I see him.

I really want to know where our silly brother has gone. If he is here, I will definitely let him teach him a lesson. He hasn't come to see you for a whole year. It seems that he is a heartless and ungrateful guy. "

Zhou Xueman was speechless for a moment.

"Yue Ying! Are you born in the Year of the Dog?"

Li Yueying was startled and asked, "What do you mean?"

Zhou Xueman said: "It just keeps barking."

"Okay, Sister Sherman, how could you do this to me? I'm standing up for you! How do you think I should punish you?"

As Li Yueying spoke, she acted as if she was going to display her martial arts.

When Zhou Xueman saw her assuming the Nine Yin White Bone Claw stance, she knew something was wrong and ran away immediately.

The laughter of the two echoed in the hospital corridor.

Zhang Guangbei walked into the old dean’s study.

As soon as he saw the old dean, he asked anxiously, "Dean, have you told Zhou Xueman about what I asked you to do?"

The old dean nodded and said, "I said it."

Zhang Guangbei's tone suddenly became bad: "Why is she still like this after all this? Did you tell her that this was the decision and wish of the superiors?"

When the old dean heard this, he was furious, but he managed to hold back his temper. This guy actually forced him to use his power to suppress others.

The dean smiled kindly and said, "Xiao Zhang! Things like this must be mutually agreeable. Forced results will never be sweet. Do you understand?"

In the mysterious world of Azreal, Zhang Guangbei's anger burned like a raging flame: "Dragon Skin, Mr. Dean, have you forgotten how sincerely you invited me to join the ranks of the guardians of order? At the beginning, you promised that as long as I agreed, any request would be met. And now! Even my personal affairs cannot be resolved. Is this what you promised?"

Upon hearing this, the dean became even angrier: "Doctor Zhang, please do not confuse professional and personal matters. Zhou Xueman is a girl with magical talent, not an item to be traded. Who can decide her ownership without authorization?"

Zhang Guangbei asked angrily: "So what you mean is..."

The old dean responded: "What I mean is that I will not interfere with the love of young people. If you have the charm to win her heart, I will not only not hinder you, but also help you. But if she is unwilling, I can do nothing about it."
