Chapter 66 The Ambassador

A dazzling lightning broke through the sky. With a thunder, raindrops as big as beans hit, smashing the dust on the ground everywhere. In a blink of an eye, the water on the ground became a river, and a vast rain fog rose between the sky and the earth.

Li Ming and his party just got off the boat and encountered this heavy rainstorm. Suddenly, they were hit by the raindrops and their whole bodies were wet. The horses also lost their past meekness in this rainy day, and they were niggling around and rushing around. Everyone forced the violent horses, held the raindrops that had hit hard, and staggered forward in the rain on the muddy road.

Chen Hao, who was walking in front, turned around and shouted loudly at Li Ming: "Master! There is a Guanyin Temple not far ahead. Where can we hide! Wait until the rain is lighter before entering the city!"

Li Ming put his hands on his canopy and covered his forehead with a loud voice: "Okay! Let's go quickly!"

Chen Hao and everyone changed direction and struggled in the rain for a long time. The hazy sound of Guanyin Temple appeared in the vast rain and fog in front of him. Everyone hurriedly accelerated their pace and rushed into the gate of Guanyin Temple. This Guanyin Temple is located on an open space five miles outside the city, which is a place where villagers burn incense outside the city. At this moment, the small Guanyin Temple also seemed to be crumbling in the heavy rain.

Everyone broke into the temple gate. A group of people in the dark temple had already sheltered from the rain. These people were gathering up a batch of dry firewood to attract fire. When they saw Li Ming and others coming in, they all turned their heads and looked at Li Ming, all of whom were fierce and extraordinary. They were immediately nervous and alert.

Chen Hao, who was the first to enter the temple, noticed this situation. While greeting Li Ming, he signaled everyone to be careful. The atmosphere in the small Guanyin Temple suddenly became tense.

When Li Ming walked in, the first group of guards had already blocked a wall in front of the group of people, saying that the group was blocking Li Ming's sight. Chen Hao guarded Li Ming at the door and came to a corner of the temple and helped him wipe the rain on his head.

Li Ming wiped the rain from his face, raised his head and muttered, "This is a ghost weather." Then he said to Chen Hao, "Chen Hao, hurry up and prepare some dry wood and roast clothes, and wait for the rain to stop and rush into the city."

Chen Hao agreed and searched everywhere, but where did so much dry firewood come from the small temple, which was not big? A small broken altar had been split by the group of people just now and was ready to ignite. In desperation, he had to go up and say to the group: "My brothers, Chen Hao is here to greet you. Can you please share your dry firewood with us some clothes for our master to bake?"

"Give it to you?" A man across the street rolled his eyes and said sarcastically: "We are not enough for you? Why give it to you? Let's wait and go, and you can come after the uncle finishes baking."

"You!" Chen Hao's face turned red with anger and was about to go forward to argue. Li Ming hurriedly crossed the guards and grabbed Chen Hao and said, "Chen Hao, forget it, let's wait a little longer. It's not worth quarrel with others about this matter, go back."

After hearing this, a big man who had been sitting on his back to everyone, he laughed and said, "That's right. There must be a reason to come first and then come. Following your master's words, go back and wait."

Hearing this familiar voice, a figure suddenly appeared in Li Ming's mind, and he couldn't help but blurt out: "Zhao Wei!?"

The man's body trembled suddenly, he bounced up and turned his head, looking at Li Ming in shock. Who would it be if it weren't Zhao Wei?

Zhao Wei's shocked expression flashed, then his expression changed drastically, and he suddenly shouted: "Escape!" He soared into the air, penetrated a big hole into the roof of the dilapidated temple, and disappeared into the vast rain. The crowd of people were panicked, and as Zhao Wei's voice dispersed, the high ground leaped, fleeing outside the temple from different directions.

Li Ming immediately reacted and shouted, "Don't let go of any one! Keep a living!" As soon as he finished speaking, he took out his pistol and injured two people.

Chen Hao rushed forward with all the guards and surrounded several people who had not had time to escape. Suddenly, there was a sound of swords and swords fighting in the ruined temple. Several guards jumped out of the ruined temple and chased the escaped people.

Seeing the guards rushing up, Li Ming put away his pistol, pulled out his Yitian sword and jumped into the sky, jumping out of the big hole on the roof. However, his eyes were confused, and the raindrops made him almost unable to open his eyes. He could only see the figures of the guards chasing him, but he could not find Zhao Wei's shadow.

The sound of fighting in the temple stopped. Li Ming jumped back into the house, but saw seven or eight corpses standing upside down in the temple, with black blood stains on each corner of the mouth, and they were already dead. Next to the corpse, a bulging sack appeared.

Chen Hao hurriedly knelt down in front of Li Ming and said, "Go back to Master, Chen Hao is incompetent. He didn't expect them to commit suicide by taking poison. Please punish him."

Li Ming frowned, looked at the pile of corpses in disappointment and said, "Get up, it's not your business. Don't do this in the future. You kneel down at any time. Am I the kind of unreasonable person?"

After hearing this, Chen Hao hurriedly stood up and looked at Li Ming without saying a word.

Li Ming sighed and said, "Please search them to see if they can find any clues. Zhao Wei is so brave that he dares to appear here. There must be some conspiracy. Look for it!"

The guards hurriedly agreed, and several people stepped forward and searched the bodies on the ground. Li Ming walked to the sack and looked at them. He didn't know what was inside. Chen Hao hurried forward and kicked the sack. His face suddenly changed and he said to Li Ming: "Master, it seems to be a person!"

Li Ming was stunned and hurriedly said, "Open it quickly! Be careful." Chen Hao hurriedly untied the sack, and a middle-aged man covered in blood and armor was exposed. He closed his eyes and did not move.

Chen Hao checked and said to Li Ming: "Master, this person has nothing to do. The injury on his body is skin trauma, but the acupoints were lit. It seems that he is a big general."

Li Ming hurried forward and reached out to untie the man's acupoint. The man slowly opened his eyes, looked at Li Ming in front of him and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you? Why should you catch me?"

Chen Hao smiled and said, "This general, you misunderstood. This is our master. We rescued you just now."

The man showed a look of surprise on his face, and he barely got up and clasped his fists at Li Ming, and said, "Thank you for your help, Cao Bao is very grateful!"

Li Ming hurriedly returned the politeness and said, "General Cao doesn't have to be too polite. I happened to save you. Who are those? Why should I arrest you?"

Cao Bao frowned and reached out to hold the wound on his shoulder and said, "I'm also very strange. I'm the admiral of Linbin City. I just came back from the capital. When I arrived near Linbin, these people suddenly appeared. As a result, we had a fierce battle. My guards were killed by them. Then they grabbed me and after lit my acupoints, I knew nothing. Strange." I suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly reached out to touch my arms. My face suddenly changed, and I shouted: "Oh no!"

Li Ming hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? What's missing?"

Cao Bao said nervously: "My secret letter! The secret letter given to me by the Minister of War is gone, that's for the prince! These people are originally for the secret letter!"

At this time, a guard next to him said to Li Ming: "Back to the master, all these corpses have been searched, and no clues have been found."

"Oh!" Li Ming responded disappointedly and asked Cao Bao, who was lost, "Is it a secret letter from the Minister of War to Prince Kang? Do you still remember the content? Just report to the prince directly."

Cao Bao sat down on the ground with a dejected smile and said with a wry smile: "It's not that easy. This is a secret letter from the Ministry of War, only the prince can see it. Alas! Seriously dereliction of duty! What else do I have to see the prince?"

Li Ming hurriedly comforted: "Mr. Cao, don't worry, the person who arrested you was Zhao Wei, a wealthy businessman from Linbin City. As long as the prince is asked to issue a wanted transaction, I believe he will be able to catch him soon."

"Zhao Wei?" Cao Bao stood up in surprise: "It is Zhao Wei who disappeared a few days ago? He is quite famous in Linbin City, but I have never seen him. Is his martial arts so high?"

Li Ming nodded and said, "Yes, Zhao Wei's martial arts are extraordinary, but it's a pity that he escaped just now."

With a "slam", a figure broke through the window railing and rushed into the house, and fell to the ground with a thump. Li Ming turned around and screamed again: "Zhao Wei!?"

The guards hurriedly surrounded Zhao Wei and raised him on the ground. Zhao Wei's face was full of horror, his eyes were motionless, and it was obvious that someone had lit the acupoints.

Li Ming's mind was rotating rapidly, and suddenly woke up. He flashed through the broken window and walked out of the broken window. He stood in the rain and shouted loudly: "Long'er! Is it you? I know it's you! Please come out! Long'er! I know it's you! Only you are protecting me in the dark!"

However, only the overwhelming sound of rain and howling wind were responding to Li Ming.

Li Ming stood dumbly in the violent storm, and all kinds of taste surged into his heart. I don’t know if it was rain or tears that shed from his face.

The guards rushed out and dragged Li Ming back to the temple. At this time, the guards who were chasing them all returned with a load, and each of them carried a person on their shoulders back to the temple.

Li Ming suppressed the helplessness in his heart and asked those people about the pursuit.

The head guard replied respectfully: "Return to the master, after we chased out, we could only pursue the figures that appeared in the heavy rain. The martial arts of these people were very good, so we really couldn't catch up for a while. Just when we were anxious, a figure flashed by us quickly, quickly caught up with those people, and then disappeared after falling apart. We couldn't catch up with that person, so we had to bring them back."

Li Ming sighed lightly, and a little relief surged in his heart. Although Lin Long refused to meet him now, he was still caring about him after all. In the past, he believed that she would return to her side.

Chen Hao looked at Li Ming carefully and asked softly: "Master, are you going to untie their acupoints?"

Li Mingqiang cheered up and said to Chen Hao: "Don't worry, search for their mouths and bodies, and search out the poison on them, so as not to commit suicide again. General Cao, please search for Zhao Wei, the official documents may be on him."

Cao Bao was overjoyed. He didn't care about the injuries on his body, so he stood up and walked to Zhao Wei's side and searched. Suddenly, he heard his surprise voice shouting: "Here is here! Found it!" After that, he took out a cloth bag from Zhao Wei's arms.

Li Ming hurriedly came up and saw Cao Bao put his hand into the cloth bag, but his face turned pale. The letter Cao Bao took out of the cloth bag had already been soaked in the rain and turned into a handful of paper pulp.

Cao Bao looked sadly at the pulp in his hand blankly, his trembling legs could no longer hold on, and he fell to the ground with a thump.

Li Ming looked at him sympathetically, patted his shoulder helplessly, and looked at Zhao Wei who was lying on the ground. At this time, Zhao Wei had been searched by the guards all over his body, and the poison wax pills contained in his mouth were also taken out, and Zhao Wei's eyes were full of despair.

Li Ming untied his mute hole, smiled at him and said, "Master Zhao, we are meeting again, are you okay?"

Zhao Wei snorted, turned around and ignored Li Ming.

Li Ming continued, "Master Zhao, I really don't understand. You are a great man in the country. You need money and power. Why do you still have to do such a stealing and shameful act? The people who can invite you, Master Zhao, are definitely not ordinary! Tell me, Li Ming, promises you, tell me, I will not pursue the past, and I will let you go immediately."

Zhao Wei said coldly: "Is this what you said? If I say it, you will let me go?"

Li Ming nodded and said, "You don't know my identity, and I still have so many servants in front of me and General Cao's words. Can I still break my promise?"

Zhao Wei smiled and said, "Okay, I've said it all, tell you, the man in black who sneaked into your sneak attack, and today these people are all my commanders, and I am their master. Now you can let me go."

Li Ming laughed anxiously and said coldly: "Hmph, Zhao Wei, who do you think of me? Are you as mentally retarded as you? Do you still remember what you said in your Liulin Village that night? Hehe, my memory is super good! You said that Lao Liu was not lucky and you escaped twice, but you didn't expect you to find the credit. You said that, right? Haha, you won't forget it. Are you the master? I think you don't have the qualifications yet! Tell me, so you won't suffer the pain of splitting the muscles and getting the bones."

Zhao Wei's expression changed drastically and he said sternly: "Li Ming! You use the broken bones on me. Even if I become a ghost, I can't spare you! Less nonsense, you should give me some fun as soon as possible!"

Li Ming sneered and said, "Give you a pleasure? It's not that easy. If you don't give you some excellence, you won't say it anymore? Chen Hao, I'll leave it to you."

Chen Hao stepped forward and smiled at Zhao Wei. His hands quickly slapped Zhao Wei's body. In the blink of an eye, a red pig liver surged from Zhao Wei's face, and a shrill scream came from his mouth. Chen Hao frowned and slapped his chin and pointed his mute hole. Zhao Wei's scream stopped abruptly, only a hehe sound came from his throat.

Looking at Zhao Wei's protruding eyes, purple-red face, and violently shaking body, Li Ming couldn't bear to turn around, patted the other person's mute hole, pointed at Zhao Wei and said to him: "Did you see it? I believe you heard that it was too thorny! No need to say it, look at Zhao Wei and you will understand. I don't want to torture you, but I am not a soft-hearted person. If I can't ask what I want, I will torture one by one, and the next one is you, how about it? Do you say it or not?"

Looking at Zhao Wei's desperate look, the man was so scared that his face turned pale, and he shook his teeth and said, "Go away my uncle and say, I'll say."

Li Ming smiled with satisfaction and said warmly: "That's right. I'll avoid torture. I'm not that kind of cruel person. As long as you honestly explain, I will spare you."

The man nodded hurriedly and said, "I said, I begged the master to spare the villain. I said, in fact, we were directly under the second prince. This time we came here to take back the secret letter by the second prince. I knew so much, but I didn't know anything else. What I said was the truth, begged the master to spare the villain!"

This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone present. Although they thought that the mastermind behind this group of people was not ordinary people, they did not expect that they would have such a big background. In this way, Li Ming was actually against the second prince! This is really not good news for Biquan Island, which has just started!

After a long time, Li Ming woke up from his shock and felt that his heart was extremely heavy. He shouldered the hope of so many people on Biquan Island, but now he has formed such a great grudge with the prince of the dynasty. Although he had an extraordinary friendship with the eldest prince, it was really an unknown whether King Kang could stand up and speak for him when life and death was at stake.

Cao Bao quietly approached Li Ming, secretly pulled his sleeve, and gestured to the door. Li Ming followed him to the door with understanding.

Cao Bao lowered his voice and said to Li Ming: "Mr. Doctor God, please forgive me for being stupid and didn't recognize you in advance. You have heard of your noble character and what you did. The young general admires the gentleman with all his heart. Now, the young general has some heartfelt words to say to him. It is not because the gentleman and the prince have a very extraordinary friendship, but because the young general admires the gentleman. To be honest, the young general is not particularly surprised after hearing his words. Although this secret letter has been destroyed, the young general can roughly guess the content. Recently, the second prince and the third prince have stepped up their time to expand their strength. This is no secret secret. It must be that Lord Shangshu discovered something and wrote the secret letter to the prince. If it is really related to the second prince, then he sent him. It is not surprising that people come to rob. It was originally a matter of officialdom, but now the gentleman has been involved. The gentleman offended the second prince inadvertently, which may be detrimental to the gentleman in the future! If the second prince knew that the gentleman had destroyed his affairs, even our prince would not be able to protect you. Therefore, the young general's meaning is that he must not spread this matter! The young general will never tell the prince what happened today. Anyway, the prince doesn't know that there is a secret letter. And the group of people who attacked the enemy are here at present. I believe that the gentleman should have a guess in his heart, right? Mr., for his own safety and for thousands of patients in the world, you should not be too soft-hearted." After saying that, he compared his palms on his neck.
