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

At this moment, the captain led the guards and came over and said, "Sir Cao Geng, we are just following orders. I hope you understand and don't make things difficult for us."

Cao Geng smiled and nodded: "It's okay, I'll go with you."

Suddenly, Cao Geng was politely detained.

"Cao Geng, Cao Geng..."

Zhou Xueman called anxiously from behind.

Cao Geng turned around and gave her a comforting smile.

Then, Cao Geng was taken to the dean's magic study.

The dean paced back and forth in the room, holding the magic wand in his hand, feeling very anxious, not knowing how to activate the teleportation array that communicated with the mysterious power.

Cao Geng had just brought him precious healing medicine, and he had not had the chance to express his gratitude yet. Now he had to send his benefactor to a place of confinement, which made him feel tormented.

When the old dean saw Cao Geng being escorted in by two guards, he was furious.

"You are quiet now? You naughty fellow. Do you think you can escape the law? Tell me, how can I activate this teleportation array? Speak!"

Cao Geng shrugged calmly and responded calmly: "Don't worry about it, just deal with it as it should be done. I won't blame you. Even if I have to do it again, I will still do it the same way."

"You, you! If General Li Yunlong had a soldier like you under his command, he would probably shorten his life by many years!"

The old dean sighed, and finally reached out to touch the magic teleportation rune.

Soon, runes flickered and a voice was heard from afar.

The old dean stammered as he recounted what had happened, and the crowd on the other end immediately went wild.

Can you not be excited?

God!

The Eighth Route Army was stationed in this remote area, where conditions were difficult. There was no talented doctor willing to join the army and endure the hardships.

They cleared countless joints and spent a huge amount of money before they invited this doctor.

Unfortunately, before three months had passed, he was severely injured by his own people.

How can this be possible?

If this person really had some plans for Zhou Xueman, perhaps it could be understood.

But Zhou Xueman was safe and sound, having only suffered a little injustice. The key point is that you have abolished it before the truth is known. Anyone would be outraged!

Sure enough, there was a roar from the other side: "This is simply lawless! Dean, send him here immediately, I want to judge him personally!"

Even Cao Geng who was standing nearby could hear the roar.

The dean glanced at Cao Geng and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

The other party's attitude was firm: "There is no room for maneuver in this matter. Send it here immediately. That's it."

The dean reluctantly put down the magic communicator and looked at Cao Geng.

"Cao Geng, you've really gotten into big trouble this time."

Cao Geng smiled slightly: "It's okay."

The dean's face suddenly darkened: "It's like this, and you still say it's okay?"

Cao Geng shrugged and said, "I understand your troubles. It's really okay. Send a car, anywhere is fine. I won't resist."

Soon, Cao Geng was taken to a carriage and sent to the Political Council.

Duan Peng looked at the carriage going away, and was so anxious that he ran back to his mount and was about to activate the magic drive.

After thinking for a while, he stopped, jumped off the horse, and ran straight to the dean's study.

Duan Peng rushed into the dean's study...

When his eyes met the dean, he immediately asked loudly, "Master dean, can your spell message be delivered to the commander of the legion?"

Upon hearing this, the dean instantly came back to his senses from his thoughts.

"Look at my memory. I'm really getting old and confused."

The dean's magic transmission could not reach the commander of the legion directly, but it could reach the deputy commander! He quickly picked up his staff and began to cast a teleportation spell.

In an instant, the spell took effect and a response came from afar.

"Hello, this is the Mage Corps Medical Center, please ask the deputy commander to answer..."

Soon, the old dean succinctly informed the situation.

"What? He has been sent to the Order Department?"

The commander of the army was furious when he heard this. If it was someone else, it might be okay, but this involved Cao Geng!

The director of the order department was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. What would happen if they really sentenced Cao Geng to death?

After hanging up the call, the legion commander looked at the deputy commander, not knowing how to start.

"Deputy Commander, there is something I must ask for your assistance."

The deputy commander was concentrating on studying the magic map. He asked without even looking up, "What's the matter? Feel free to speak frankly."

The army commander replied: "Deputy commander, it is like this, Cao Geng has caused a terrible disaster."

The deputy commander raised his eyes, looked at him nervously, and asked, "How serious is it?"

The commander of the corps replied nervously: "Doctor Zhang Guangbei, his four, no, five limbs were broken by Cao Geng."

"what?"

The deputy commander stood up instantly.

"Where are the people? Did they escape?"

The commander of the army was stunned, and he was thinking to himself, normally, when hearing about this, shouldn't he first ask the reason? At the very least, he should ask if the person was arrested!

He thought about it and said hurriedly: "The person has been controlled and is now on the way to the order department."

The deputy commander was suddenly speechless.

"How can Cao Geng be sent to the Order Department? What does this mean?"

The deputy commander-in-chief put his hands behind his back and paced back and forth in the room, full of worry. If Cao Geng was still under his jurisdiction, he would still have a chance of survival. But now that he has been sent there, he is helpless.

The deputy commander-in-chief slammed the table, furious.

"What exactly happened? Why did Cao Geng do this?"

The legion commander was speechless, and only then did he remember the need to ask the question.

He had no choice but to describe the whole incident in detail.

The deputy commander was furious when he heard this.

"What a beast! What a beast! Such a person deserves death."

The legion commander didn't understand what he meant, so he quickly said, "Deputy Commander! This is not the point now. The first priority is to find a way to save him!"

That’s right, this is the army, and Cao Geng could be executed immediately at any time for committing such a serious mistake.

"Okay, I'll cast a spell to contact you now..."

The commander of the corps hurriedly said, "Deputy Commander, I'm afraid this matter cannot be resolved by just sending a message. I'm afraid you need to go there in person!"

At the same time, Cao Geng sat in the magic carriage, bound by magic, and was bumped all the way to the order department.

He was then taken directly into the deputy director's office.

Cao Geng stood in front of the deputy director's desk with his hands clasped behind his back. The deputy director looked up with a sullen face.

"Are you Cao Geng?"

Cao Geng straightened his back and responded firmly: "Report to the commander-in-chief, it is true."

The deputy governor was stunned and asked, "How can you be so calm? Don't you know what a mistake you have made?"

Cao Geng answered resolutely: "Reporting to the Governor, I only eliminated a demon beast to ensure the peace of the people. The Governor does not need to praise me too much."

The deputy commander was furious and slammed the table. "Cao Geng, you still don't realize how heinous your crime is. And you still say you are doing good for the people? Do you think I should reward you for this? You know, I spent a lot of effort to invite Zhang Guangbei here."

Cao Geng said calmly: "Report to the governor, don't worry about this matter. There are countless doctors like Zhang Guangbei in Luyang City. If the governor needs them, I will recommend a few of them one day. They are all senior doctors in the enemy country with superb medical skills."

The deputy commander was speechless for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "Can you tame the enemy's doctor?"

Cao Geng stood at attention and reported: "It is true. All our wounded soldiers in the Luyang battle were cured by them. Their families, young and old, all live in Luyang City."

"Ah……"

The deputy commander stared at Cao Geng and asked, "Are you the commander of the 9th Battalion of the Independent Brigade under General Chen, Cao Geng?"

Cao Geng replied respectfully: "That's right."

The deputy commander's anger subsided a little after hearing this. He might not know other things, but he knew the battle of Luyang.

It was he who ordered Cao Geng to seize a huge sum of gold from the enemy and send it to northern Shaanxi.

"Boy, I've heard about your deeds. You played an indispensable role in the battle of Luyang. Do you want to rely on this achievement to save your life?"

Cao Geng answered firmly: "Yes."

Upon hearing this, the deputy governor laughed out loud: "You are quite straightforward, kid. But I tell you, no way. Merit is merit, fault is fault, you must accept the verdict on this matter. In our Eighth Route Army, we will never allow people who disregard the law and discipline like this."

Cao Geng frowned slightly and chuckled, "General! May I ask, if I accept the verdict, will I be executed?"

The deputy commander nodded and said, "It is very likely."

When Cao Geng heard this, he was stunned for a moment.

"That's not right. I just killed a demon beast. Why do you want to execute me? Commander, do you know what kind of person Zhang Guangbei is? How hateful is he? What did he do to my sister Xiaoman? Commander, you still want to protect such a villain?"

"Your sister Xiaoman, hehe..."

The deputy commander sighed and asked frankly, "I won't hide it from you. Do you know what the relationship is between Zhou Xueman and me?"

Cao Geng was stunned and asked, "What kind of relationship?"

The deputy governor replied: "She is my adopted daughter. Although she is not my biological daughter, I treat her better than my own daughter."

"what?"

Cao Geng was surprised, but then he turned his surprise into joy and said with a smile: "In this case, we are family, why do you still tie me up? Quickly get someone to untie me!"

The deputy great wizard stared at Cao Geng and solemnly declared: "Do you think I don't notice the suffering my daughter has suffered? Do you think I don't see through Zhang Guangbei's hypocritical nature? But what can I do? His magic is superb and can give most warriors a new life. Therefore, as long as Zhang Guangbei does not overstep the line, I can only endure it. Do you understand the reason?"

Cao Geng remained silent.

No wonder this person will be highly respected in the future. He is truly selfless, noble and upright!

Cao Geng nodded slightly and responded: "I understand."

The deputy grand wizard asked, his words were as firm as iron, "So, do you think you should be judged?"

Cao Geng replied: "I shouldn't."

"you..."

The deputy archmage was almost suffocated by his anger.

"You stubborn boy, it seems that you haven't realized your fault yet! In this case, you should stand trial. No matter who pleads for mercy, it will be useless in this matter."

Cao Geng was shocked and asked, "Shouchao, is that rebel really that important?"

At this moment, Cao Geng knew that he had touched an untouchable taboo.

The deputy chief priest was a man of principle. What could Cao Geng do in the face of such a revolutionary devotee?

The deputy archmage retorted: "It seems that you haven't grasped the core of the matter yet!"

Cao Geng was speechless.

He really wanted to say, "I'm standing up for your daughter, can you please let me go and give me a chance to live?" But he didn't say it, because he knew it would be futile.

The deputy archmage said coldly, "You have nothing to say, right? I tell you, if it weren't for your many achievements, I would cast a spell on you right now! You are too presumptuous. Come, take him away, lock him up, and wait for punishment. Remember, no one is allowed to visit without my permission."

Soon, Cao Geng was taken away.

In the afternoon, the deputy commander and the corps commander hurried over.

The deputy commander entered the deputy grand wizard's study, and the legion commander could only wait outside.

At first, the legion commander could still hear them chatting and laughing in the study.

However, just two minutes later, their conversation turned into an argument.

In the end, neither side was able to convince the other, and the deputy commander angrily left the deputy grand wizard's study.

Soon, the deputy commander and the legion commander came to the dungeon, but were stopped by several guards.

The deputy commander was furious and roared, "Get out of my way!"

The soldiers were so frightened by his roar that they almost fell down.

However, the leading captain withstood the pressure and pleaded, "My Lords, can you please not embarrass us? The people imprisoned there are serious criminals, and the Grand Master has specifically ordered that no one is allowed to visit without his permission."

The deputy commander roared again: "Get out of the way!"

The captain had no choice but to give way helplessly.

Cao Geng was imprisoned in the dungeon, and was deep in sleep. When he saw the two adults coming, he stood up and looked towards them.

Although he didn't know them, he could roughly guess their identities.

When the deputy commander and the corps commander saw Cao Geng, they immediately stopped where they were and looked him up and down, which made Cao Geng feel guilty.

"Stinky boy, is prison life so pleasant? You can even sleep well?"

"Hey hey...hello, both adults!"

Cao Geng stared at them quickly, smiling in awe as he performed a magical salute. "Two guardians, are you here to take me out of this misty realm?"

The deputy wizard replied unhappily: "Leave? You have caused such a big disaster this time that I am afraid you won't even have a chance to escape. If you still want to leave, just wait for the judgment of darkness."

Cao Geng was stunned for a moment. Was the situation really so serious? Even the deputy magician couldn't save him? Could these two guardians be phantoms?

Cao Geng asked in confusion: "Two guardians, even you can't save me from danger?"

The deputy magician sneered, "Are you surprised? You only realize the seriousness of this now? What were you doing before? You even dared to attack your colleagues. Your courage is beyond imagination. I, I wish I could judge you myself right now."

Cao Geng retorted: "How can he be a colleague? He is clearly a villain who is blinded by desire. I am doing this for the sake of the people. I want to get rid of him as soon as possible so that he won't tarnish the honor of our Legion of Light."

The deputy magician pointed at Cao Geng, speechless.

"You are like your commander, like your soldiers. You speak just like the legendary Li Yunlong. I tell you, kid, don't get carried away. You are in danger this time. Even I can't protect you, which is almost equivalent to you being sentenced to soul imprisonment. Just be proud."

"what?"

The commander's face was as pale as paper.

"Deputy magician, it can't be that serious, right? Wait until the deputy leader's anger subsides, then go and beg him! Cao Geng, our army can't afford such a loss!"

The deputy magician shook his head and said, "It's useless. Don't you know General Zhou? It's almost hopeless to plead with him. Let's find another way!"
