Chapter 60

No one saw clearly where the sleeve arrow that shot Wang Chongwen came from and why he shot it, but people immediately judged that the sleeve arrow was painted with poison! If it was not poisonous, Wang Chongwen would not have been caught in the arrow immediately after he was unconscious. As the commander of the three armies of Shuofang, Wang Chongwen wore soft armor anytime and anywhere.

The soft armor worn by Wang Chongwen is also known as "milky silk armor". The thin leather armor is lined with a special layer of "golden velvet cloth". The "golden velvet cloth" is woven with golden silk mixed with velvet. This cloth has a very good texture, smooth, breathable and warmth. Although it is not thick, it can effectively reduce the damage of arrows. As long as the angle is not too straight, ordinary crossbows cannot penetrate.

The sleeve arrow is a hidden weapon that uses mechanisms to shoot, which is very suitable for short-range surprise attacks. The arrows shot are not very powerful. It is logically impossible to penetrate Wang Chongwen's soft armor. If you take a step back, even if you barely penetrate the soft armor, it will not cause fatal damage immediately.

What's strange is that when Wang Chongwen fell to the ground and was unconscious, Tang got up. She neither went to save the person nor investigate the murderer. She did something that surprised everyone. She pulled out a bronze dagger from her arms, came to Wang Chongwen a few steps, and poked him in his heart. Tang's wrist was weak and his golden silk armor was extremely tough. Wang Chongwen was not only unscathed, but woke up from his coma.

"Beast! Beast!"

Tang suddenly lost the bronze dagger, grabbed Wang Chongwen's head, looked at his face and scratched him. A few blood marks appeared on Wang Chongwen's face in an instant, and his left eye was even scratched and could not open it.

"Grandma, what are you doing..."

Wang Chongwen was stunned by the scene in front of him. He fell to the ground by arrows and was injured on his body. Not only did he not come to treat him, but he went crazy to fight him! Funny, this is really funny.

Looking at Tang's eyes that could spit out fire and the twisted face, Wang Chongwen suddenly became angry from his heart. He pushed Tang away and shouted: "Have you made enough trouble? I knew you were dissatisfied with me, what tricks would you do tonight?" Tang fell down and immediately patted the ground and burst into tears:

"The ancestors and ancestors, the rebellious son has no virtue, the Wang family is about to destroy the family!"

The people around looked at this scene indifferently, and no one came to stop the persuasion. Instead, they knelt on the ground and cried with Tang. Tang took everyone and climbed to the stone steps of the new house, kowtowing like garlic: "Your Highness, the old man is guilty, and the Wang family is guilty. For the sake of the generations of the ancestors of the Wang family, spare his life, and all the blame will be borne by the old man!"

Wang Chongwen was completely confused. Did he really do something traitorous after he was unconscious just now? He looked at the sleeve arrow hanging on his chest, and was even more shocked. The two words "Flower Clothes" were engraved on the shaft of the sleeve arrow. Huayiwei! This arrow was shot at him by Huayiwei. Why did they do this?

Wang Chongwen felt a split headache. What did he do? Why did the Huayiwei shoot himself?

"Old Mrs., are you so confused? Wang Chongwen offended the princess and said arrogantly and disobeyed the emperor. This is a great crime of disrespect. If you want to bear it for him, can you bear it?" Jin Taoyin's tone was like a knife clamped, and Wang Chongwen's style was cut in vain.

"Come on, take this thief."

Jin Tao shouted, and the Huayiwei rushed up to get Wang Chongwen.

"Slow down!"

Tang suddenly stopped Huayiwei, and Jin Taoyin sneered: "Old Mrs., why are you? Are you trying to shelter an imperial criminal?"

Tang sighed and said, "Princess, please give Wang Chongwen to Laoshen for the sake of guarding the border for the country for the third generation of my Wang family. Laoshen will definitely give his highness an explanation." While Tang was speaking again, the Wang family's nephews behind her surrounded Wang Chongwen and took him aside. It was impossible for the Huayiwei to arrest people again.

Jin Taoyin sneered: "What should the old lady deal with him?"

"Call together the Wang family members and deal with family law."

Jin Taoyin walked lightly to the door of the bridal chamber, talked to Lan Yu for a few words, and then returned and said, "The princess is waiting for the old lady's good news."

Wang Chongwen suddenly shouted: "You colluded and played with the conspiracy, this is a conspiracy! Where is the guard? Guard..." A thick woman smashed Wang Chongwen's head with a wooden stick in her hand, and Wang Chongwen collapsed to the ground and lost consciousness.

……………………

Halfway through Li Qing's wedding, Yang Hao walked out of the cell and looked at the bright red night sky reflected by lights in the northeast of Lingzhou. Yang Hao sighed with emotion.

"Why, you are still a little worried about her. This time she has harmed you a lot." Guan Suo smiled and said, "Some families are happy and some are sad. Tonight you and Wang Chongwen are both winners, but she is the loser."

Yang Hao smiled and did not answer, but when he left the north gate of Lingzhou, he sighed again at the direction of the brightly lit Yacheng.

The news of Wang Chongwen's deposed reached Yang Hao's ears the next afternoon. At this time, he was in Qingcaotan, thirty miles north of Wuhai City, a good piece of green grass. In addition to Fengya Camp and Liehu Camp, Huying Camp and Jingqi Camp also opened. On the river west of Qingcaotan, the Navy Camp was continuously transporting the soldiers of Weiyuan Camp over.

Yang Hao did not want to be a person who was untrustworthy, but he also knew that if Shuofang was not taught a lesson this time, there would be no peace in the southwest border of Fengzhou in the future. Although Wang Chongwen let him go, he would still blindly follow Li Qing and do something against his will that might be bored by even himself.

If you beat him, you can only end the grudge. However, the sudden change on the wedding night caught Yang Hao off guard. Lingzhou City suddenly became an iron bucket, and no news could be revealed.

This made Guan Suo feel a little embarrassed. He personally took the lead and tried his best to finally figure out everything that Wang Li gave birth to his wedding night.

No one expected that Tang would secretly play with Li Qing in front of everyone. They falsely accused Wang Chongwen of rushing to Princess Li Qing after drinking, and the flowery guards were eager to hurt him. Guan Suo speculated that there might be a poison on the sleeve arrow in Wang Chongwen, which could cause the injured to lose some memory. They used this to force Wang Chongwen to confess his guilt.

The Tang clan summoned the elders of the Wang clan to discuss the disposal of Wang Chongwen with family law, which cleverly excluded the supporters of Wang Chongwen, such as Xie Bozhi, Wang Dongchuan, and Wang Chongwen. After Wang Chongwen took charge of the military and political affairs of Shuofang, the Tang clan almost lost all his power, and now all she could rely on was the clan power in the ancestral hall. Wang Chongwen's uncles were her hard-core supporters, and Wang Chongwen has always regarded them as targets of prevention. With such a good opportunity, how could they let go easily?

"Offend the princess and speaks wild and perverse words." If Wang Chongwen did not commit suicide, he would inevitably affect the entire Wang clan. The elders of the clan always asked Wang Chongwen to resign from his posts and go to Chang'an to apologize immediately. If Wang Chongwen refused, they could only take more intense measures, such as expelling him from the family. He was not allowed to enter the Wang family's ancestral hall in his life, and he was not allowed to enter the Wang family's cemetery after his death.

After being detained for a day and a night, Wang Chongwen promised to resign from his posts and to apologize to Chang'an with shackles. On the same day, the Tang family summoned Shuofang's senior officials and asked everyone to choose one of Wang Chongwen's second brother Wang Chong'an and third brother Wang Chongsheng as the queen of Shuofang. Wang Chongwen's father Wang Xilian had seventeen children, and Wang Chongwen ranked seventh, with three brothers and two sisters on it. Although he was also a legitimate child, in the eyes of the Tang family, only Wang Chong'an and Wang Chongsheng's brothers were considered legitimate descendants of the Wang family.

In order to prevent the tragedy of brothers tragic death in Shuofang after his death, Wang Xilian drove the Tang family's favorite second, third and sixth sons out of Lingzhou before he died. Wang Chong'an and Wang Chongsheng were both generals and had been leading troops outside after leaving Lingzhou. In recent years, they have made many military achievements. They have prestige among the three armies of Shuofang.

After collaborative evaluation by the elders, Wang Chong'an was finally elected as Shuofang's descendant. Wang Chongsheng was promoted to deputy general of the former army and became Wang Dongchuan's deputy. Among the five Shuofang armies, the former army was the strongest, with 18 battalions under his command, with a total of 23,000 troops.

This recommendation was considered fair and just, and Tang did not interfere, because no matter who Wang Chong'an and Wang Chongsheng were elected, it was the same for her. All she hoped was to choose quickly and not to cause trouble. Xie Bozhi was still the governor of Lingzhou, but he had to hand over the key to the silver and grain warehouse that had been kept for many years. Tang asked Wang Chong'an to worship him as his master and hired him as an advisor at all times. Lingzhou's government affairs were represented by Tang Chun, the former magistrate of Lingwu County, the nephew of Tang.

Shuofang changed the world overnight. With Wang Chongwen's complete loss of power, Li Qing would inevitably lose the ability to influence Shuofang's political situation, which made Yang Hao hesitate whether the original beating plan should be implemented. Yang Hao is not a warlike person. If he could be sure that the danger did not exist, he would not want to joke about the lives of soldiers. However, it was not the time to withdraw the army, and Tang once advocated tough measures against Fengzhou.

If you don’t be a family, you don’t know how expensive it is. If you become a family, you will definitely take into account the bottles and jars at home? Yang Hao has no idea. This old woman who has been widowed for nearly 30 years is always so unexpected in her behavior.

Two days later, Wang Chongwen followed Long Mingyue, Hao Zan and his party went to Chang'an to apologize. Tang clan's most trusted Wang Yuan accompanied him to take care of him, while Wang Chongwen's old subordinate was not allowed to travel with him, and no one was allowed to approach him along the way. Li Qing also sent two people back to Chang'an with him.

On the night when Wang Chongwen left Lingzhou, the Lingzhou Governor's Mansion went to sea to arrest Gongwen and tried his best to capture the imperial criminal Yang Hao who escaped from prison. This was a very unfriendly signal. Yang Hao finally decided that the original plan to attack Shuofang remained unchanged. In addition to the gathered fire, Fengya, Tiger Camp, Jingqi, and Weiyuan Fifth Camp, Yang Hao also dispatched 3,000 people from other battalions to secretly take advantage of the ship to go south.

Before the formal action, Yang Hao wrote a tactful letter to Wang Chong'an. In the letter, Yang Hao first defended his "crime", pointing out that all this was done by following the plan and there was no hijacking at all. Then Yang Hao reminded Wang Chong'an that Qiu Shiliang had been provoking Shuofang to fight Fengzhou, so he could make profits from it. Lingzhou and Fengzhou "will both be hurt if they fight, and harmony will benefit both if they benefit." Don't be fooled by Qiu Shiliang.

Wang Chong'an gave the letter to Tang, while Tang asked him to show the letter to Li Qing.

Li Qing asked: "What do you want me to see these mean?"

Wang Chong'an replied: "Yang Hao slandered His Highness arbitrarily and could not be punished. I ask for an army to attack him."

Li Qing replied coldly: "I never interfere in military and national affairs; but when you go to attack Yang Hao, I am happy to see it."
