Chapter 70 Arrest

A bad premonition surged into Li Ming's heart. He hurriedly met the three of them and asked loudly, "What's the matter?"

The Saint-Hand King replied as he walked: "The big thing is wrong. A large number of ships of the government army are sailing towards the island. It seems that they are coming in full force and there will be no good things."

Li Ming's head exploded suddenly. What he was worried about was that the development of the island would alarm the government, so all the personnel on the island could not enter and exit casually. But today it seems that it was the government that the government learned about the matter on the island. Otherwise, with his friendship with King Kang, he would not have used so many officers and soldiers to come to the island.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly said, "Chen Hao, Ma Lin, you two should go to the glass factory quickly and ask them to stop work quickly and transfer all the glass in stock to the cave in the back mountain. Also, ask Chen Yu to stop work quickly and transfer all the refined oil products. Notify Wang Laodao that he would also transfer all the weapons he had made, so hurry up! My brother and I went to the dock to deal with them."

Chen Hao and Ma Lin hurriedly agreed to run away. Li Ming turned around and instructed Zhang Yao to return to the villa as soon as possible, and then hurriedly use his light skills to rush to the dock with the Saint Hand King.

Most of the guards had gathered on the dock, slashing swords one by one, waiting for the battle. When Li Ming and the Holy Hand King arrived, more than a dozen warships had already crossed the lotus bush and were about to dock. Li Ming hurriedly ordered the guards on the dock: "Everyone listen! Put away the weapons immediately! Everyone left the dock immediately! Hurry up to various factories and follow the arrangements of Chen Hao and Ma Lin, be quick!"

The guards looked at Li Ming hesitantly and refused to leave. Li Ming hurriedly said, "Hurry up and listen to me and go to various factories to help. There are many officers and soldiers. You can only intensify conflicts here. Our strength is still very weak. It is not time to fight them. You can leave quickly, it will be too late!"

The guards responded with a loud bang and ran towards the island. Li Ming and the Saint Hand King turned around and waited for the arrival of the brigade of officers and soldiers.

A huge warship leaned on the dock. As the springboard fell, teams of officers and soldiers jumped ashore. More than a dozen people surrounded Li Ming and the Saint-Hand Wang, while the others quickly dispersed around the shore of the island.

Looking at the spear like forest in front of him, Li Ming felt surprisingly calm. When he looked at the Saint Hand King, he also smiled without any panic. Seeing Li Ming looking at him, he gave Li Ming a comforting smile.

The crowd suddenly scattered a passage, and two people walked towards this side surrounded by guards. It was Sun Song, the prefect of Linbin City, and Cao Bao, the admiral of Linbin garrison.

Li Ming and the Holy Hand King hurriedly bowed to the two of them. Sun Song snorted with a big sting, ignoring the two of them at all. Cao Bao bowed and said, "Mr. Doctor God, the young general came to search Biquan Island on the order of the prince. He also hoped that the gentleman could forgive him. At the same time, he hoped that the gentleman could cooperate with us and not make us embarrassed."

Li Ming hurriedly said, "I dare not, the two adults are in official business, how dare the Caomin stop them? I just don't know what crime the Caomin committed. They actually asked the two adults to lead so many soldiers to investigate us?"

Sun Song snorted coldly and shouted, "You are still pretending to be confused. Come on, take them down!"

The soldiers hesitated for a moment, and when they saw Cao Bao showing displeasure and without any indication, they stopped. Sun Song immediately showed embarrassment and stared at Cao Bao fiercely.

Li Ming clasped his fists and said, "The two adults believe that they are law-abiding and have never done anything out of the ordinary, so there is definitely a misunderstanding in the middle. Please let the two adults observe clearly."

Cao Bao replied to Li Ming: "Sir, the young general has been strictly ordered by the prince this time and wants to take everyone on the island back for interrogation, and seize everything on the island at the same time. So if you have any questions, it is better to tell the prince directly then."

Li Ming hurriedly said, "Two lords, Caomin believes that all this is a misunderstanding. Caomin dare not obstruct his work, but he also hopes that the two lords can listen to Caomin's words. Most of the island are servants and assistants, and they are currently living and working in peace on the island. All their affairs are obedient to Caomin's orders. Therefore, Caomin still hopes to see the prince now, hoping to clarify the misunderstanding. If the two lords take all the people on the island away now, it will inevitably disturb their quiet life. Moreover, even if the illegal things are done by Biquan Island, it is the act of Caomin alone, and it has nothing to do with the servants on the island! Please observe the two lords."

Sun Song sneered and said, "You are so light and let them go? The prince's orders are to capture them all. Who dares to let them go? You should stop quibbling and just surrender. Humph, you are usually very powerful! Today you finally made you a prisoner. Lord Cao, please tell me to take action!"

Cao Bao glanced at him coldly and said, "Mr. Sun, you are the one who lets you cooperate with me to handle the case. It's not your turn to issue orders here. Mr. Li was once the prince's guest and had a good relationship with the prince. Now that he has made this request, I must consider it. As for why the prince arrested him, it is not something that we subordinates can guess. This is a matter between the prince and the prince, and it is not something we can manage. Therefore, I still think that Mr. Li's words make sense. Mr. Li, I will escort you to see the prince alone to see what the prince means in the end. If the prince insisted on taking the entire island at that time, the young general would be rude."

Li Ming was overjoyed when he heard this and was about to thank him, but when Sun Song shouted hurriedly: "General, no! You are disobeying your order like this, Prince."

"Stop!" Cao Bao shouted coldly: "I have said that there is no room for you to speak here! I will be responsible for what I want to do, so you don't need to remind me."

Then, he said to Li Ming: "Since the gentleman is willing to see the prince alone, the young general will put the gentleman in shackles. I hope the gentleman will not mind."

The Holy Hand King hurriedly said, "General Cao, I am also one of the masters of Biquan Island. Please let me go to see the prince together."

Cao Bao shouted and said, "Stop it! No one wants to change the things that I decided to do. No one is allowed to leave Biquan Island except Li Ming! Commander Wang, when I leave, you are fully responsible here. You have to surround me with the island. If you leave, I will come back and take your life!"

An officer next to him hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "The young general obeys the order! The young general promises to surround the entire Biquan Island and will not let anyone escape. Please rest assured!"

Seeing that Li Ming had already put on handshakes, shackles and big shackles, Cao Bao said, "Mr. Li, please, let's go and go quickly. My three thousand soldiers did not bring food for overnight, so we have to go early and go back early."

Then, he said coldly to Sun Song: "Mr. Sun, you are the same. You must stay on the island before this general comes back, otherwise, my subordinates will not spare you." After that, he ignored Sun Song, who had a blushing face, and turned around and took Li Ming onto the docking ship.

In the sky, a thick dark cloud covered the sunshine, blocking the earth tightly. A heavy rain is coming again.

The big boat Li Ming was riding through the lotus bushes, and began to sail with the wind and sail quickly towards Linbin Wharf.

In the cabin, Cao Bao stepped back from all the followers, hurriedly removed the big shackle on Li Ming's shoulder, knelt down in front of Li Ming and said, "Cao Bao is rude, please forgive Cao Bao. It is really Sun Song present, Cao Bao dared not say anything to the teacher, which scared the teacher."

Li Ming hurriedly helped Cao Bao up and said, "General Cao must not do this. I am already grateful to the general for letting me see the prince alone. How dare you blame the general?"

Cao Bao said with displeasure: "My benefactor still doesn't regard me Cao Bao as his own person. For the sake of my benefactor, I Cao Bao can send my life away! If the prince really wants to capture my benefactor, I Cao Bao will even sacrifice my life to save my benefactor. But Cao Bao is not the kind of brave but unscrupulous person. I believe that the gentleman can understand Cao Bao's painstaking efforts. Before the last resort, my benefactor must not have a rupture with the prince. After all, there are so many people on the island! And when the prince's tone seems to be uncontrollable, so I think of it with my benefactor, that is, my benefactor and the prince have a good talk. If it really doesn't work, then I Cao Bao will protect my benefactor and go around the world! Do you still understand Cao Bao's heart?"

Li Ming hurriedly said with emotion: "General Cao must not call me benefactor anymore. If you don't dislike me, Li Ming, would you like to call you "Brother?"

Cao Bao cracked his mouth and smiled, "Then how dare I behave myself, Cao Bao! Let's do this, I will still call my beloved husband sir in the future. As for what he calls me, I'll do whatever he calls me. Anyway, sir shouldn't treat me as an outsider."

Li Ming hurriedly smiled and said, "Of course this is good. I will call you Brother Cao in the future! What happened today is so sudden, what happened?"

Cao Bao suddenly looked solemn and said, "This matter is indeed very sudden. The prince called me early this morning, saying that the emperor had sent an imperial edict in the morning. The imperial edict said that a group of traitors gathered on Biquan Island to build weapons, hoard food and grass on the island, and recruit people to prepare for rebellion. At the same time, the emperor also scolded the prince, saying that there was such a big thing on his territory, he did not report it, and ordered the prince to surrender the island and understand everything on the island."

After hearing this, Li Ming sat down on the chair dejectedly, and the things he was worried about finally happened. But what surprised him was that the island’s precautions were already strict enough. Those who could enter and exit Biquan Island freely were their confidants. Why did the news leak still occur? Are there really spies on his island?

Seeing Li Ming like this, Cao Bao hurriedly comforted him: "Sir, don't be too anxious. After all, the prince also has favor for the prince, otherwise he would not order me to just capture you back. Under normal circumstances, such suspicion of rebellion occurs, generally, no matter whether the situation is true or not, he must first kill all the people. Therefore, I think there is still room for rebellion in the prince."

Li Ming sighed and said, "Actually, I think so too. I will never take risks unless I have to. But I am not that kind of pedantic person. I really have no room for turning around, and I will not sit back and wait for death."

Cao Bao nodded and said, "Sir, right! I have made this preparation before coming this time. The four thousand elite soldiers I brought are my usual personal soldiers, and the generals who led the soldiers are also my close friends. I considered this at that time. So please don't worry, Cao Bao, I, will not let something happen to me,! In fact, with my prestige, the prince has to consider the public opinion. If I really make things difficult for him, the people of the people will not agree. There are many soldiers in my army who regard Mr. Hu as a god. Now the island has actually been protected by me, so it would be better if I can talk to the prince. If not, I will follow him! Biquan Island has a natural advantage, and with my four thousand personal soldiers, I can stop even if I fight with him for 100,000 to 80,000! If even someone like Mr. Hu wants to kill, this court will not be worthy of Cao Bao's service for them."

Li Ming smiled bitterly and said, "What's the use? In this era, the voices of the people are very weak and useless. If I really can't reach an agreement, I can't bear to let the world fall into war for myself! Brother Cao, I dare not tell lies in front of you. At the beginning, I didn't have any ambition to dominate the world, but the things that happened these days made me completely awaken. Now I do have this idea, but at present I just stay on the idea. After all, I have no power at all. Originally, I wanted to keep a low profile on the island, gradually develop my own economy and power, and rely on powerful weapons to seize the world as soon as possible. But it will take at least five years to reach this level. At present, I can say that there is no armed force except the more than 100 guards on the island. It is really a bad thing to attract the attention of the court at this time!"

Listening to Li Ming's words, Cao Bao's face suddenly became unstable. Looking at Li Ming for a long time, he suddenly knelt down in front of Li Ming again and knocked three times on the floor. Li Ming hurriedly wanted to get up, but Cao Bao took the lead in pressing it on the seat.

Looking at Cao Bao kneeling in front of him, Li Ming said anxiously: "Brother Cao! What are you doing? Get up quickly! What are we not talking about with our brothers? How can I afford to take such a great politeness?"

Looking at Li Ming's eyes, Cao Bao raised his right hand and said solemnly: "I, Cao Bao, swear to the sky here! From today on, respect Li Ming as my lord, I, Cao Bao, will devote my whole life to my lord, and do all my strength to achieve my great cause! If you violate your oath, I, Cao Bao, suffer from the thunder of heaven and will never be reborn. Please agree to accept Cao Bao and let Cao Bao serve the lord." After that, he kowtowed deeply.

Looking at Cao Bao kneeling in front of him, a feeling of prosperity arose in Li Ming's heart, and at the same time, a trace of ambition slowly gathered in his heart, making him unable to help let go of his hand that wanted to help Cao Bao up.

The two of them had a stalemate for a long time. Li Ming leaned his back on the chair and said seriously: "Cao Bao, you have to think clearly. I, Li Ming, have nothing now, and the possibility of my success is very small. You may suffer the consequences of being ruined by yourself. Have you figured it out?"

Cao Bao's firm voice echoed in the cabin: "Cao Bao has no regrets! Cao Bao has long admired his lord, and his lord is kind and Zhai Hou, and he takes saving the people of the world as his mission. This is the wise lord Cao Bao is looking for. Today's affairs are the best example. The lord would rather be bound by himself than implicate the people on the island. Where can such lords go to find him, please agree to Cao Bao's request."

Li Ming let out a long sigh and said in a deep voice: "Okay, get up, from today on you will be my person, I promise you."

Cao Bao was overjoyed, kowtowed three times on the floor, and stood up, looking at Li Ming's joy.

Li Ming looked at Cao Bao with a wry smile and said, "Cao Bao, don't have too much hope for me. I don't know how to get through this level at this moment."

Cao Bao smiled and said, "My lord will deal with it. Since the lord has made up his mind, everything will be easy. If King Kang does not let the lord go, we will detain King Kang. With the lord's prestige, I believe that the people of the world will respond to the lord's call. At least, the people of Linbin will definitely respond to the lord's call. After all, the lord has treated many patients in the clinic opened in Linbin, and it is all free. Haha. At that time, Cao Bao can make achievements for the lord on the killing field."

This is the sound from outside the cabin: "General, Linbin Pier is about to arrive, and our ship is about to dock."

Cao Bao hurriedly stopped what he said and said to Li Ming: "Lord, you still have to wear these shackles. Please forgive me. Please feel wronged for a while."

Li Ming laughed and said, "Cao Bao, you don't have to be so careful with me in the future. If you get used to it, you will know that I am very arrogant. Although I am your lord, you usually treat me as a brother, and I won't mind. Okay, put all the shackles on me, and we have to play a play for King Kang."

Linbin City is still so bustling with people coming and going, and the shops on both sides of the street are booming and crowded. Cao Bao led a team of guards to hold Li Ming in the middle and push the crowd away to the Kang Prince's Mansion.

I don’t know who shouted first in the noise: “Look, everyone! Isn’t that person caught in the middle a God of Medicine? I’m not mistaken, how could Mr. Doctor get arrested? It’s so unreasonable!”

Suddenly, the noisy street was silent, with only the sound of horse hooves and the footsteps of soldiers reaching the ears of everyone. Everyone was shocked when they looked at Li Ming. No one expected that Li Ming, who was respected as a god, would be caught by these soldiers with heavy shackles on his shoulders. For a moment, everyone really didn't react in their minds.

"We can't let them capture the God of Medicine!" A voice rang out from the crowd, "What's wrong with the God of Medicine? Do you want you to treat him like this? Leave the God of Medicine!" Suddenly, everyone who was shocked just now crowded towards the soldiers as if they were in a panic.
