The atmosphere in the king's tent was stagnant.
Tadun put down the lamb leg in his hand and frowned, saying, "Don't talk nonsense. When have I ever been afraid that the king would poison the wine glass?"
"Thousands of people gathered around the royal court during the day, watching closely. Although these people dispersed after the release of the people, there is no guarantee that they will not give up and continue to harass the royal court."
"If something unexpected happens and we are all drunk, who will handle it?"
"Who will be held responsible if the unity of the Wuhuan is destroyed?"
"I just wanted to consider the overall situation and didn't want to drink. But how come you said that I was the king trying to harm people?"
"When did I say that?"
Bu Shan sneered: "If he wasn't afraid, why would the Right Wise King, who loves wine, not dare to touch even a glass of wine?"
"Could it be that the Right Wise King also refrained from drinking before? I heard that even during the war, you often drank, just to kill more enemies?"
"Could it be that his temper changes so quickly?"
These words pushed Tadun into a desperate situation.
Tadun didn't know what to say for a moment.
Those leaders and generals who supported him said, "I remember that the Right Wise King wanted to stop drinking after he was injured last time. Now a year has passed, how could someone still not know?"
"That's right, is it wrong not to drink?"
"Your Majesty is a man of great generosity. How could you be angry over such a small matter?"
Some people supported Tadun, and naturally there were also people who supported the Wuhuan King Loulan.
Seeing that both parties were arguing fiercely, Tadun sighed and slowly stood up: "Stop arguing and listen to me."
When the king's tent was quiet, he looked at Loulan on the throne with complicated eyes: "My king, do you really want to drink with me?"
Lou Lan narrowed her eyes slightly: "What does Right Wise King mean by this?"
"Do you really think that I will poison you? Murder you?"
"You also know that the Chinese army is about to attack us. They have strong soldiers and horses, and countless generals. You are also a pillar of Wuhuan. How could I cut off my own arm?"
"Those sitting here are the backbone of our Wuhuan tribe. If I attack you at the banquet, how can they obey me, the great king?"
"By then, people's hearts will be scattered, how can they possibly stop China's progress?"
"Then I will become the eternal sinner of Wuhuan."
"Although I am not as wise as my father, I am not a fool, am I?"
"Ugh!!"
With a long sigh, Lou Lan said, "I didn't expect that there is not even a trace of trust between us brothers."
"Sometimes I feel so sad when I think about it. If my father were still alive and saw this scene, he would probably be heartbroken!"
Bu Shan looked at Tadun gloomily: "The king is dedicated to the stability of Wuhuan and has gone to great lengths to get the Right Wise King out, with the goal of having him fight against Huaxia and play the greatest role, but..."
"But some people are judging others by their own standards." "If you don't even trust the king and don't listen to him, how can you fight this war?"
"I'm afraid"
"If King Qiu were still alive, how could something like this happen?"
"It's no pity for us to die, but we can't let King Qiu down in the underworld!!"
Seeing Loulan, Bushan repeatedly brought out Qiuliju, just to point out Tadun. Many people were worried about him. Now everyone was sure that today was definitely not just a meal.
Tadun sighed softly: "To be honest, when I came in, I got a message saying that the wine was poisoned."
"I'm afraid I don't want to believe it, but the man was very sure that I shouldn't drink."
"I was thinking of finding an excuse not to drink, but I didn't expect the king to force me to do so."
"If the king wanted to kill me under normal circumstances, I, Tadun, would never frown at all. My life was saved by my adoptive father."
"It doesn't matter if you take it."
"But now Wuhuan is facing an unprecedented crisis. I cannot die, not now."
"Even if I die on the battlefield, I will never regret it."
"But you just can't die like this."
Everyone in the king's tent instantly turned grim after hearing these words.
If what Tadun said was true, Loulan's murderous intention was too strong and they did not know the seriousness of the matter. The Wuhuan were facing a catastrophe, but they were still eliminating dissidents. Isn't this going to lead to their extinction?
Loulan narrowed his eyes and glared at Bushan fiercely. Seeing that he was also pale and seemed to be unaware of the situation, he frowned and looked at other people again.
"Right Wise King, you can't say that. When did I ever want to poison you?"
"It would be too hasty to say that I want to harm you just by listening to the nonsense of some villains."
"If he deliberately stirs up trouble and alienates us, and we are at odds at that time, what should we do?"
Tadun seemed to be cornered by these words. He gritted his teeth and said, "I absolutely trust that man. His words will never be wrong."
Bu Shan said coldly: "What if I'm wrong?"
"What if there is no poison in the wine jug on your desk?"
"How should the Right Wise King face the King and the generals present?"
There was also a gleam in Loulan's eyes, and he suddenly came up with a better idea.
Tadun was silent for a long time. When he was about to speak, Loulan interrupted him directly: "Right Wise King, if you are drinking now, what you just said can be regarded as a joke, but if you are not drinking, then we really have to investigate."
"See if there is any poison in this wine."
"how?"
