Zhong Shidao slowly stretched out his hand and patted his youngest daughter's shoulder gently:

"War isn't just something you kids are doing, so how can you directly determine the outcome based on the number of soldiers and horses?"

"Liang Shicheng and Yang Jian are two flatterers who have never killed an enemy in battle."

"When faced with an enemy, he not only acted rashly and aggressively, but he was also extremely lax when it came to controlling his subordinates."

"In this way, most of the soldiers in the army will follow the path of that cunning man."

"That's why the imperial court's hundreds of thousands of troops were defeated so miserably."

Zhong Sijin nodded in understanding:

"But even so, father, you don't have to let your daughter escape from the city alone tomorrow morning."

"After all, if we want to discuss the responsibility for this crime among generals, then Liang Shicheng and Yang Jian, as marshals of the army, should shoulder the responsibility."

"Why does this have anything to do with my daughter?"

Master Zhong smiled sadly as if he were dead:

"With the smooth and cunning nature of those two treacherous villains, how could they take the initiative to take the blame on themselves after the failure of this expedition?"

"It was when my father and those two villains were fighting in Jining City."

"Those two treacherous villains already want to put such a big blame on my father."

"It's just that at that time, because of the desperate protection of Ruda and others, my father and your uncle were not allowed to suffer as a prisoner."

"Now, since they have all returned to the capital, with the nature of those two treacherous villains, how could they not show their loyalty to their father in front of the Zhao boy?"

"If I am framed by those two villains again and pin the blame on my father for his ineffective command of the army and the loss of 20 troops..."

"At that time, not to mention my father and your uncle, even the entire Zhong family, including your eldest sister in the palace, may be severely implicated."

"That's why my father asked you to escape from the city early tomorrow morning."

"In this way, we can save some blood for our family."

It feels like a beautiful thing, after hearing these words from my father.

He couldn't help but froze there.

Those big, watery eyes were also staring unblinkingly at the old father's face.

For a long time, I never moved anywhere else.

This not only made Zhong Shidao feel quite puzzled:

"Xiao Jin, why are you staring at your father like this?"

On her beautiful face, a look of extreme distress suddenly appeared.

At the same time, the words in his mouth also contained infinite sadness:

"only……"

"It's just that my daughter feels today that father, your eyes are no longer as firm as before."

"There will always be..."

"There will always be a feeling of despair and helplessness from time to time."

"My daughter can't figure out why."

"That's why I stared at my father's eyes for a long time just now."

Zhong Shidao shook his head and smiled bitterly:

"As a father, as a general who once galloped on the battlefield."

"From now on, it is no longer difficult to kill the enemy bravely with the sword in the sheath."

"As Xiaojin's father, it will be difficult for me to rely on you in the future."

"As the head of the family, I will not be able to continue the bloodline of the Zhong clan in the future."

"Feeling guilty for being a father..."

"I feel guilty for Na Pao Ze's help, and I feel guilty for the kindness of the ancestors of the Zhao family."

"It's a shame, as the head of the family has the mission of continuing the incense."

"As is the state of mind, so is life!"

"Hey……"

"In this case, how can you, as a father, still keep your eyes on me?"

"Is it like steel?"

Master Zhong sighed, then suddenly turned around and headed towards the bedroom.

However, he hadn't even taken a few steps yet.

Behind him, a brocade-like voice came again:

"But, my father once taught us two sisters."

"No matter when or where you are, never give up easily."

"Why did you suddenly change your words when I arrived at your old place today?"

Zhong Shidao slowly turned his head:

"Xiao Jin."

"With all the faith, all the hope, all the faith in your heart."

"When they are all destroyed one by one..."

"I no longer have the qualifications to talk about victory."

But as soon as Shidao Zhong finished speaking, that kind of Jin shook his little head stubbornly:

"Father admits it, but Xiaojin definitely doesn't admit it!"

Zhong Shidao looked at Zhong Sijin very gently:

"But why?"

Zhong Sijin raised his little hand and took off the bracelet from his wrist.

Then he raised his delicate hand and threw the gold bracelet into Master Zhong's arms.

When Master Zhong took out the gold bracelet from his arms, he looked at it carefully with a puzzled look on his face.

He couldn't help but make his eyes widen in an instant!

There was both surprise and secret joy in his eyes:

"Xiao Jin, this..."

"Where did you get this thing?"

After Zhong Sijin heard this, he raised his chin extremely proudly:

"But I got it from the Queen."

"And at that time, the boy from the Zhao family that my father often mentioned was also there."

Zhong Shidao's hand holding the gold bracelet shook slightly.

When he looked at his little daughter, his eyes suddenly became full of energy:

"Xiao Jin, what do you mean..."

Zhong Sijin smiled:

"From the look on my father's face, I have clearly guessed Xiao Jin's intention."

"That being the case, why bother asking questions now?"

……

Early the next morning, I went to Jinluan Hall.

Because Zhao Ji received the reason for the defeat from the front line early in the morning.

So when he saw Liang Shicheng, Yang Jian, Zhong Shidao and others in the court, he was not too surprised.

It's just that his face doesn't look good.

Zhao Ji did not immediately call Zhongshi Dao over.

Because after all, he is not the marshal in command this time.

Instead, he directly called Liang Shicheng and Yang Jian to the imperial steps:

"Two dear friends, when you lead the army on this expedition, not only do you have 20 troops at your disposal, but even a group of generals from Gaotang and Qingzhou have gone with you to fight against the thieves."

"How come you have such a well-equipped army, but you still can't take down the small Shuibo Liangshan Mountain?"

"So and so, but why?"

"And who should be blamed for the crime?"

Liang Shicheng and Yang Jian, who were standing under the imperial steps, first slowly turned their heads and looked at each other.

Then he faced Zhao Ji who was sitting at the top with a face full of grievances, and kept pouring out the bitterness in his heart:

"Guan Jia, it is true that as Guan Jia just said, our court's heavenly soldiers not only have an advantage in terms of military resources, but also have many military generals."

"If this battle is deduced according to normal circumstances, our imperial army will definitely win."

"But what makes me so helpless is that there is a traitor among the heavenly soldiers of our court!"

"Officials, if this were not the case, how could our imperial army lose so completely in this battle with both famous generals and mages at our side?"
