With the combined forces of Mengshe Zhao and Ouzan, the 180,000 elites of the Andong Protectorate were completely wiped out. The gates of the south were wide open, and the people were plunged into misery and suffering!
But this was not the worst of it. When a tiger showed its age, even a monkey would dare to ride on its back.
Pandora's Box had been opened, and what awaited this empire was an unprecedented disaster!
In a flash, countless thoughts flashed through Wang Chong's mind. He felt a chill run down his spine!
No! None of this has happened, and the Imperial Court has not made a decision! As long as I avoid mobilizing the 180,000 Annan elites and infiltrating alone, there is still a chance!
Wang Chong's mind spun. In his previous life, the Wang Clan had already declined, and he was just an insignificant descendant of a declining clan. It was impossible for him to participate in a war of that scale.
But things were different now. The Wang Clan had not fallen, and their alliance with The King of Song was as solid as a rock. As long as he could convince big uncle and The King of Song, there was still a chance.
No! I have to meet big uncle and The King of Song right now!
Wang Chong abruptly turned around, and without any hesitation, he headed down the mountain. Big uncle and The King of Song possessed immense influence in the Bureau of Military Personnel. As long as he could borrow their help to stop the Imperial Court from sending troops, there was still a chance to salvage the situation.
The war of Nanzhao might not happen!
At the very least, if the 180,000 elites were not completely wiped out, everything would be different.
"Wang Chong! Where do you think you're going? "
Just as Wang Chong turned around, there was a flash of light, and a cold bellow suddenly echoed through the air. A figure like a large bird suddenly soared into the sky from the dense forest halfway up the mountain. With a boom, it landed heavily in front of Wang Chong.
"The Chamberlain of Dependencies is handling a case. Please come with us!"
That person had a cold expression, and his white robes fluttered in the wind. He exuded an aura as heavy as a mountain.
Seeing the emblem of the Chamberlain of Dependencies on this white-robed man, Wang Chong's expression immediately changed.
"Buzz!"
Wang Chong didn't even think about it. He leaped forward and suddenly leaped in another direction. He had never feared the people of the Chamberlain of Dependencies. Even if he was imprisoned, he did not care.
But definitely not now, definitely not now!
Boom!
However, almost at the same time that Wang Chong leapt out, there was a rumble. Another white figure fell from the sky like a wooden stake, blocking Wang Chong's path.
This person had an icy expression, and the symbol of the Chamberlain of Dependencies on his chest was extremely eye-catching.
"Wang gongzi, please!"
"You can't escape!"
"A country has its laws, and a family has its rules! If the Emperor breaks the law, he will be punished the same as the common people. Do you still want to run? "
…
A series of ice-cold voices reverberated in the sky like a great bell. Along with these voices, one figure after another fell from the sky.
Two, three, four … In a few short moments, six callous figures had descended from the sky, surrounding Wang Chong like some mighty god, cutting off all his escape routes.
These people were all Profound Martial realm experts at the very least!
A light breeze blew past, and the forest was packed with people. In the first light of dawn, Wang Chong could see the Imperial Army of the Imperial Court, the prison guards of the Court of Judicial Review, the experts of the Imperial Clan Court … all of them had surrounded this place and were currently making their way to the summit.
After a night, they had finally arrived at Deflecting Blade Manor.
Wang Chong's heart chilled, and he immediately stopped!
… …
Boom!
When the news that Wang Chong had been imprisoned spread, the entire capital was thrown into an uproar.
Any influential faction in the capital knew of last night's turmoil. Everyone was paying close attention to the development of this matter.
And in the Imperial Court, this matter had become a major event. With such a large weakness in their hands, the Yao Clan and King Qi were truly adding fuel to the fire, doing their utmost to exaggerate the matter. But the most astonishing thing was that the Imperial Army, Court of Judicial Review, and Chamberlain of Dependencies were fighting over the right to imprison Wang Chong.
This had never happened before!
As this matter spread, even the common people of the capital began to discuss it. But as more details began to spread from the Imperial Court, even the common people began to clamor.
In the Imperial City, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, Wang Chong had led several hundred experts into Drunken Sparrow restaurant in broad daylight, and without a word, he had begun to kill. Even in the three hundred years of the Imperial City, this sort of thing was rarely seen.
And the many great clans and nobles involved in this matter, as well as the students from the Kunwu Training Camp, Longwei Training Camp, and Shenwei Training Camp, made the common people of the capital feel like they had been injected with chicken blood.
There were far too many riddles in this matter.
It could be said that Wang Chong had started a fight in Drunken Sparrow restaurant for his cousin, but later on, he had abandoned all the other people in the restaurant to pursue a Youzhou Hu under the command of Andong Protector-General Zhang Shougui. This was a godlike turn of events.
And this wasn't even mentioning that Wang Chong had killed another Hu under Zhang Shougui's command in front of him. And the latter had never even met Wang Chong!
There were far too many suspicious points in this matter!
Why had Wang Chong done this? Was there really a need to make such a big fuss just to avenge Wang Liang? And that Hu, why did Wang Chong act like he had some deep grudge against him even though he had never met him before?
And on the second day of Wang Chong's imprisonment, the matter developed even further. When an important figure was dragged into this matter, let alone the common people of the capital, even the Yao Clan and King Qi, who had been fanning the flames behind the scenes, were dumbfounded.
Of the Four An Brothers, An Yaluoshan and An Wenzhen, An Xiaojie's other sworn brother, was actually the Vice Protector-General of the Northern Protectorate, An Sishun!
"Boom!"
When this news broke out, let alone the Yao Clan and King Qi, even the mentally prepared Wang Clan was stunned.
Wang Chong had not only offended Andong Protector-General Zhang Shougui, he had also offended Northern Vice Protector-General An Sishun!
In the Tang dynasty, An Sishun's status could not compare to the Han like Zhang Shougui or Wang Zhongsi, nor could he compare to the more experienced Hu like Fomonlința. But as an existence that could deal with both the Eastern and Western Turkic Khaganates, An Sishun's status was no less than that of Geshu Han!
And in some aspects, he even surpassed him!
And contrary to what many people imagined, An Sishun was extremely young, despite his lofty position as the Vice Protector-General of Northern Protectorate.
Of the six protectorates of the empire, he was definitely the youngest and the fastest rising Vice Protector-General. His future potential was limitless.
Not only had Wang Chong offended Zhang Shougui, he had also offended Beiting's An Sishun. No one had expected this.
The already intense debate in the Imperial Court was now even more intense!
But no matter how intense the debate was, the Wang Family maintained great restraint throughout the entire matter!
