As night fell, the entire royal court became bustling with activity.
From time to time, tribal leaders and generals arrived and exchanged pleasantries with each other. It seemed very lively, but in fact, the atmosphere was a bit weird.
Because they all heard that tonight's banquet was mainly for Tadun.
Since Loulan became the King of Wuhuan, Tadun has hardly appeared in public, and they knew the reason well, as they were afraid that Tadun's prestige would overshadow that of Loulan, the King of Wuhuan.
Therefore, many people smelled something different about this proactive banquet.
"The Right Wise King Tadun has arrived!!"
With a shout, Tadun appeared in everyone's sight.
Tadun had a smile on his face and greeted people from time to time, looking like he was inspecting his subordinates.
Many generals and leaders who were oppressed came to Tadun.
After the greetings, someone lowered his voice and said, "Right Wise King, the situation today is not good. The royal court will not allow any of the personal soldiers to enter. What is going on?"
"Not for you"
"Yes, yes. You have a high reputation in Wuhuan, and your popularity has been even higher recently. I am afraid that the desperate one is planning to deal with you today. If you are not prepared, you cannot go in."
"Do you want us to transfer some people over?"
"In fact, I said that there is no need for him to succeed the throne as the king. He is not capable enough. Now that China is about to attack us, only if you become the king can we, the Wuhuan, unite to deal with the invasion of China. No one else can do it except you. As long as you give the order, our entire tribe will support you."
Tadun listened to these voices of support and raised a different kind of smile on his face: "I have heard what you said, but my adoptive father has been very kind to me. If it weren't for him, I would have starved to death on the grassland. Others can have complaints, but I cannot."
"Don't worry, today we should discuss how to deal with China, so you all should pay attention to me. There is a saying in China that goes, when the nest is overturned, no egg will be left unbroken!"
"Whether we Wuhuan can continue to dominate the grassland depends on you and me."
Having said that, what else can others say?
I can only admire Tadun’s broad mind.
Some people were still trying to persuade them, but not far away, Loulan came out surrounded by a crowd of people.
"Brother, it's really not easy to invite you out."
"I said at the beginning that I was not qualified to be the King of Wuhuan, but you insisted on letting me take the position. Now I am trembling with fear, treading on thin ice."
"I'm afraid someone is rebelling behind my back. Losing me as the King of Wuhuan is not a big deal, but I'm afraid it will give China an opportunity to take advantage of it."
"China today is no longer the same as it was back then, it's coming with a fierce force!"
After Loulan finished speaking, he glanced at the people around Tadun. Although his previous words did not mention any names, it was obviously referring to the people around Tadun.
Tadun laughed and said, "The Wuhuan people have never been afraid of challenges. Sooner or later, China will become our hunting pasture. When that time comes, we will be unmatched wherever we go."
"I've also heard some discussions recently. Didn't the people surround the royal court today?"
"There is no smoke without fire. We still have to look for the cause of some things. If one person is wrong, it is impossible that everyone is wrong, right?" "Especially Wu Yanyong's rebellion. This incident was a big blow to the Wuhuan warriors."
"Since we Wuhuan have dominated the grasslands, have we ever encountered such a thing?"
A hint of gloom flashed across Lou Lan's eyes, but she still maintained a calm smile: "Brother is right."
"Let's go in and discuss it. Today we need to solve the problem."
"Let's go in."
The royal court, inside the largest royal tent.
This is where the Wuhuan hold meetings, but there are many desks here.
The generals sat down, and Loulan raised the wine glass in his hand: "Now is a time of trouble. Today, I would like to take advantage of the banquet attended by the Right Wise King to toast you all. I hope you will work together to protect our grassland."
Tadun raised his glass but didn't drink. A different kind of smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "We should have drunk a lot at this banquet, but firstly, we don't know if the Chinese army will suddenly appear. Secondly, everyone present is the backbone of our Wuhuan. If everyone gets drunk and something unexpected happens, what should we do?"
"I'm afraid it will cause chaos in the royal court, so this glass of wine cannot be drunk."
"Please don't blame me, my king."
As he said this, Tadun put down the wine glass in his hand, grabbed the roasted lamb leg on the table, and started eating it in big mouthfuls.
As soon as he put down the wine glass, Lou Lan's face instantly turned gloomy.
This not only embarrassed him, but also completely interrupted his plan.
I was originally planning to put something in the next pot of wine so that I could win without fighting, but I didn’t expect that I couldn’t even drink the first cup. How could I kill Tadun?
If possible, Loulan did not want to use force. After all, it was unprotected and would have a bad reputation if it got out.
He was in a difficult position to persuade them to drink, but Bu Shan beside him could not care less: "Right Wise King, what do you mean by this?"
"The king has given you wine, how can you not drink it?"
"How can a good man like us Wuhuan get drunk after a few glasses of wine?"
"I see you are afraid, aren't you?"
"Do you take the rumors outside seriously?"
"Who is the king? Would he really poison you out of jealousy? Murder you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire royal tent exploded.
This is to force Tadun to bow his head. Looking at Loulan again, he saw that he did not stop him. Instead, he poured himself a drink and had no intention of stopping Bu Shan. (End of this chapter)
