The family of three did not move at all, they just glanced at Jiang Zheng.

Jiang Zheng's eyes were sore and swollen, and he said emotionally: "Dingbian! Now everyone in Kyoto is looking for traces of Hao'er. You... why are you doing this?"

Zhao Dingbian raised his head, looked at him with stern eyes, and said word by word: "These gangsters have been planning for a long time. How can they easily find the treasure after all the treasures are out?"

Jiang Zheng couldn't help but lower his eyes.

At this moment, the three of them were soaked to the skin, and their pale mourning clothes and coats were stuck together, leaving a water stain on the ground.

He opened his mouth: "Don't be too sad in Dingbian..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Dingbian suddenly stood up and immediately took off his mourning clothes and coat.

Then, he took off his inner robe, raised his arms, and revealed the defense map painted inside. Then he folded it up and held it up to Jiang Zheng, saying word by word:

"Your Majesty! The bad guys are threatening me to exchange the defense plan of Xilongguan for my grandson's life! Now, I will return the defense plan to the country!"

Once the underwear was removed, the hideous scars on his upper body were completely exposed to everyone.

He has fought countless battles in his life, and although he has achieved a supreme reputation, these reputations were gained by surviving close calls again and again.

The stab wound on the back was caused by Zhao Dingbian rescuing Jiang Zheng from the Yuju Mountain Prison during the battle for the throne, and was stabbed by a first-class master in order to protect Jiang Zheng.

The hideous wound that can be seen on the abdomen and back was shot through by the heavy crossbow of the Wei State when they retook Xilongguan that day.

At this scene, everyone turned away helplessly.

Although they had long guessed the reason why Zhao Dingbian went to court in mourning, they still couldn't bear to face this scene.

Jiang Zheng hurriedly pushed back the defense map: "Dingbian! You are the Duke of Zhenguo, and you have conquered countless territories with me. Only in your hands can the defense map of Xilongguan protect the desolate country from falling for thousands of years. How can you give it to me?"

What’s my point? What’s more, this defense plan is the same as Hao’er’s life, so how can it be..."

Halfway through his words, he could no longer continue.

The defense map is certainly equivalent to Zhao Hao's life, but even if Zhao Dingbian is willing to exchange it, will he allow it?

The answer must be no.

"Your Majesty! I have a request, and I hope your Majesty will agree to it!"

Zhao Dingbian suddenly shouted loudly, causing all the civil and military officials to tremble and cast their eyes over.

Jiang Zheng's heart also trembled: "It doesn't matter if we decide the border!"

Zhao Dingbian's expression was extremely desolate, and although his voice was still loud, there was a hint of dejection that could not be concealed: "I am seventy-seven years old this year, and I am already old. The position of the Duke of the Kingdom is of great significance, and I am already beyond my ability. Therefore,

This time I came here specifically to resign my official position, retire and return to my hometown!"

Hearing this, Jiang Zheng's expression suddenly changed. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Zhao Wudi's voice again.

"Your Majesty! I have come to resign as a general. I can't even protect my own son, and I have no shame in becoming a great general!"

Zhao Wudi was filled with resentment. He hadn't realized that this matter might be related to the royal family, so he only hated himself.

He hates himself for being incompetent!

Jiang Zheng felt even more heartbroken when he looked at this black-faced man whom he regarded as his nephew.

At this time, Bai Xiu also said: "My minister Bai Xiuwang has resigned from his post as a third-rank officer in the Military Intelligence Department, and has been lying idle for many years. I don't want to burden the court anymore, and I hope that the emperor will fulfill my wish!"

Hearing what Bai Xiu said, all the ministers felt sad.

Among the four generals of the Great Wilderness, although almost all the descendants of the Meng and Zhou families died in the battle, at least the two old men are still alive.

Almost no one in the Bai family was spared, except Bai Xiu, who worked in the Military Intelligence Department.

When Zhao Hao was six years old, his Dantian was destroyed. Bai Xiu immediately retired from the army and stayed in Kyoto to take good care of him.

For more than ten years, poisonous and hidden weapons have not been allowed to approach the Zhenguo Mansion.

But even so, her only son was lost!

Zhao Hao is not only the future of the old Zhao family, but also General Bai's only bloodline left in this world.

"you……"

Jiang Zheng looked sad. Looking at his old buddy and the black-faced man and his wife whom he regarded as half his son and daughter-in-law, he felt a wave of sadness in his heart.

The last time I had this feeling was when Concubine Hu was buried.

It's just that it was his own fault last time, but this time...

Now, how could he not guess who did it?

So in addition to being sad, he even felt aggrieved.

From his birth to his old age, this was the first time he felt aggrieved. Even though he was ignored by his father when he was young, he had never felt this way before.

"I hope your Majesty will make it happen!"

All three members of the Zhao family bowed down together.

All the civil and military officials in the court were silent and looked at everything in front of them with heavy hearts.

Jiang Zheng took a deep breath: "Dingbian! Do you remember that when I ascended the throne, you promised to protect the wilderness for the first time?"

Zhao Dingbian smiled bitterly: "At that time, you and I were very high-spirited. Now I am just an old man who can't even protect his home. How can I protect the deserted country for the rest of my life?"

"you……"

Jiang Zheng's expression was complicated, but he couldn't say a word. He was silent for a long time before he said: "You guys just go home and wait. Give me three days! Within three days, I will definitely bring Hao'er to you.

!”

"Three days?"

Zhao Wudi stood up suddenly and said: "Your Majesty! We can wait for three days. Can the criminals who kidnapped Hao'er wait for three days? I will not be a great general at all. I will return the handsome seal and tiger talisman to you. Please

Don’t delay us from saving our son!”

After saying that, he took out a brocade handkerchief package directly from his arms and placed it on the ground.

It is the commander's seal of Lord Zhenguo and the tiger talisman of General Shenwu commanding the troops.

Putting down his handsome seal and tiger talisman, he immediately turned around and walked out of the palace without any hesitation.

If it were anyone else, it would have been a huge sin to leave the table without permission early in the morning, but Jiang Zheng couldn't say a word to persuade him to stay.

Zhao Dingbian also stood up and raised his hands to Jiang Zheng: "Your Majesty! The common people retire!"

After saying that, he turned around to leave, but unexpectedly heard Bai Xiu's words.

Bai Xiu's voice was weak, but full of hatred: "Your Majesty! This time the internal and external rivers opened the culvert, and such a movement was not discovered, it is really a huge mistake! The civilian daughter once studied under the eldest princess in the Military Intelligence Department, and Feiyuwei was also the eldest princess.

Created by one hand.

As far as the civilian girls know, if the Feiyu Guard operates normally, such problems will not occur!

The master can’t be found!

You can’t find frog clothes either!

But it’s impossible not to find this culvert!”

As she spoke, she raised her head, stared at Jiang Zheng sharply, and said word by word: "There is a ghost in the Feiyu Guard! This ghost colluded with the Wei State to harm my Hao'er, force my Zhao family, and dig up our wasteland.

The foundation of Longguan in the west of the country! The crime is extremely evil, I beg the emperor to kill the ghost!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the court was shocked.

The Military Intelligence Department is very strong, and the Feiyu Guard is even stronger.

The Huang Kingdom clearly has only one grandmaster, but it has been able to compete with the Wei Kingdom for decades. In these years, it has even surpassed the Wei Kingdom.

Why?

It's the big, airtight net woven by the Military Intelligence Agency and the Feiyu Guards.

At first, I was a little shocked when I heard that Zhao Hao was abducted through a culvert. How did those criminals avoid the attention of the Feiyu Guards and dig out a culvert silently?

After all, they don't know much about Feiyuwei. They only know that they are very powerful, but they don't know how powerful they are.

But now after hearing Bai Xiu, they immediately knew...

Big trouble!

This matter is not only an external disaster, but also an internal disaster.

Zhao Dingbian's expression changed slightly, and as soon as he said these words, things started to get ugly.

Even if his grandson is lost, he is not afraid of being upset.

But the top priority now is to find Sun Tzu. Now those people don't know that the Emperor Jiang Hong Box has been handed over to the emperor, and they still have the possibility of burning the redrawn version of the defense map.

Therefore, Zhao Hao may not necessarily suffer a vicious attack immediately. The still-lit life card in his arms fully proves this point.

Because of this, Zhao Dingbian didn't want to break up immediately.

Unexpectedly, Bai Xiu had discovered something was wrong.

The Military Intelligence Department and Feiyu Guard are both the two major reconnaissance agencies. Although Bai Xiu has never been to Feiyu Guard, how could he not know the terror of Feiyu Guard?

"Don't lie!"

Zhao Dingbian reminded in a low voice, but it was obviously too late.
