The Great Wilderness Helping His Wife

"What exactly?"

"I don't know, but I'm afraid it matters a lot."

"From this point of view, Lord Zhen does not intend to hand over, so Zhao Hao..."

"Duke Zhen has been serving the country and the people all his life, but God is so unfair!"

"What the hell are Feiyuwei doing? They're a bunch of trash, even some villains from the Wei Kingdom can't guard against them!"

"Since Princess Jianghuai went into seclusion, the Military Intelligence Department still has some functions, but the Flying Fish Guard is becoming more useless every day!"

"You can't say that. We haven't had any major problems in the capital for decades. Flying Fish Guards have contributed a lot, but this time it's really worthless!"

"I heard from a person from Qi State that Princess Jiang Huai suffered a life-threatening serious injury before retreating. I am afraid that she is not in retreat now, but has died a long time ago. The announcement of retreat is just to deter other countries!"

"If the eldest princess is here, I'm afraid these villains will be found out as soon as they enter the border of the deserted country. How could they take Zhao Hao away?"

"Don't mention the eldest princess, it's all over! Now I only care about whether Zhao Hao is alive or not."

"I used to look down on this dandy, but these days I realized that no matter whether the old Zhao family is a general or a dandy, when facing other countries, none of them is a coward!"

"Ugh……"

From Zhenguo Mansion to the Imperial Palace, the three members of the Zhao family stepped heavily on the stagnant water on the road.

On both sides of the road, the people all had heavy expressions and silently watched the three members of the Zhao family enter the palace.

Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Silence!

All the civil and military officials have arrived, and everyone's heart is extremely complicated, but no one dares to speak out.

It was clearly a crowded hall, but it was eerily silent.

Above the high position, Jiang Zheng was extremely anxious, but he could only sit firmly on the dragon chair, not wanting to make himself lose his composure.

But his eyes still looked out of the hall uncontrollably.

He wished to see a figure.

But he wasn't ready to meet that person's eyes.

at last.

Three figures appeared outside the hall, and the three members of the Zhao family had already been doused by the heavy rain.

Seeing that the three of them were all dressed in white, all the officials present stared at each other, as if their hearts skipped a beat.

Among them, many people have heard inside information from various sources.

West Longguan deployment map!

This completely turned into a question of whether to kill Zhao Hao, or the whole family of Zhen Guofu to treason the country.

Looking at it now, the three members of the Zhao family all wore mourning clothes to court, so it was self-evident what they meant.

Everyone was mourning in their hearts, even those civil servants were heartbroken for the Zhao family.

Although they are opposed to the general system represented by Duke Zhen Guo, in the final analysis, they are only the inevitable choice for civil servants who want to gain greater voice.

They didn't show any disrespect to Zhao Dingbian.

People's hearts are full of flesh. Looking at the Zhao family wearing mourning clothes, they couldn't help thinking, if this kind of thing happened to their own family, could they be like Zhao Dingbian, and serve the people of the barren country?

When Jiang Zheng saw the three pieces of white clothes, his heart trembled even more.

The three of the Zhao family walked to the front of the hall and knelt down on the ground with a plop.

"Meet the emperor!"

Jiang Zheng hurriedly got up to greet them, and stretched out his hand to help the three of them: "Please get up quickly, please get up quickly!"

The family of three didn't move at all, they just glanced at Jiang Zheng.

Jiang Zheng's eyes were sore and swollen, and he said emotionally, "Dingbian! Everyone in the capital is looking for Hao'er. You...why are you bothering?"

Zhao Dingbian raised his head, looked at him with scorching eyes, and said word by word: "These villains have planned for a long time, and all the treasures are out, how can they be found easily?"

Jiang Zheng couldn't help lowering his eyes.

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

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

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Dingbian got up suddenly, and immediately took off his mourning clothes and coat.

Afterwards, he removed the inner robe, raised his arms, and revealed the defense map drawn inside, then folded it up and held it towards Jiang Zheng, saying word by word:

"Your Majesty! The villain threatens me to exchange the defense map of Xilongguan in exchange for my grandson's life! Now, I will return the defense map to the country!"

As soon as the inner robe was removed, the hideous scars on the upper body were completely exposed in front of everyone.

He has fought countless battles in his life, and although he has achieved supreme prestige, these prestige are all exchanged by surviving life and death again and again.

The knife wound on the back was the result of Zhao Dingbian's rescue of Jiang Zheng from the prison in Yuju Mountain during the battle for the throne back then.

The hideous wound that can be seen on the stomach and back was shot through by the heavy crossbow of Wei Guo's defenders when they recaptured Xilong Pass that day.

In this scene, everyone had no choice but to turn their faces away.

Although they had 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 Zhen Guo, and you have laid down countless territories with me. Only in your hands can the defense map of Xilongguan be able to protect the barren country from falling for thousands of years. How can you give it to me?" My reasoning? Besides, this defense map is no different from Hao'er's life, so how can..."

Halfway through his speech, he couldn't continue talking down.

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

The answer is bound to be no.

"Your Majesty! I have a request, and I hope His Majesty will agree!"

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

Jiang Zheng's heart trembled too: "It's okay to say yes!"

Zhao Dingbian's expression was extremely desolate, although his voice was still loud, but there was a bit of depression that could not be concealed: "This old man is seventy-seven this year, and he is already too old. The position of Duke Zhen is of great significance. This time, I came here deliberately to resign from my official position and title, and return to my hometown!"
