The next day, news spread that Loulan was poisoned to death by his trusted confidant Bu Shan.

It was thought that the generals and leaders loyal to Loulan and Qiuliju would attack Tadun because of this, but for the whole day, almost no one pointed at Tadun, which made many Wuhuan people confused and they did not understand the reason at all.

On the second day, as the funeral of Loulan was going on, another piece of news also spread in Shiguo.

"Have you heard that the Chinese army is coming, but the Wuhuan King Tadun wants to abandon the Shi Kingdom and retreat north with his people. Isn't this just cowardice?"

"It took us Wuhuan a hundred years to gain a foothold in the Stone Kingdom and dominate the grassland. How can we give up the Stone Kingdom now?"

"Yes, we Wuhuan cannot be cowardly and cannot bow to China."

The discussion spread throughout the Stone Kingdom, and the heat even overshadowed the Loulan funeral.

Many generals in mourning clothes came to the outside of the royal court and asked to see Tadun.

More and more people gathered, but Tadun did not show up, as if he didn't care about the discussions at all.

"General Le Shi is here!"

Accompanied by a loud shout from outside, a burly, ferocious-looking general came galloping over. His aura was so terrifying that it made people afraid.

"Tadun, Leshi wants to see you for something!!"

Such arrogant words would have caused dissatisfaction among those present, but because they were mixed with the unique aura of the Heavenly General, the crowd did not feel dissatisfied, but instead felt sad.

The stone inscription yesterday did not show any dissatisfaction with the Wuhuan King Tadun, so why is he bringing it up today?
Is this the moment we've been waiting for?

Amid countless people's speculation, Tadun walked out slowly from the king's tent, with his trusted aides beside him, glaring at him.

"Leshi, what do you mean? How can you shout out the name of the Wuhuan King?"

"You have committed a capital crime. If the king wishes, you can be beheaded immediately."

Le Shi laughed loudly: "Kill me?"

"You too?"

"But I will not use force to overpower others in front of all the leaders and generals."

"Yesterday I learned that the King of Loulan was poisoned to death. The first person I suspected was Tadun, because the King of Loulan was his biggest obstacle."

“But because so many leaders have testified, I have to believe that the murder of King Loulan had little to do with Tadun.”

"Plus, the Chinese army is about to attack us, so I have no objection to Tadun sitting on the throne of the Wuhuan King."

"But I never thought that before Tadun even had time to warm up his seat, he would actually abandon the Stone Kingdom and lead his entire clan north."

"How can such a cowardly person be the king of Wuhuan?"

"I was so angry about him before, but now it seems that I was blind."

"Everyone, what do you think?"

This is what most people present were thinking, but they did not dare to say it.

Hearing Le Shi speak first and tear off the fig leaf, many people plucked up their courage and said, "Wuhuan has never had warriors who are afraid of death. Although the Chinese are powerful, we are not made of clay." "They swept the Xiongnu, but it doesn't mean they can sweep the Wuhuan."

"They have a celestial general, and so do we. Why should we be afraid?"

Le Shi was very satisfied with the verbal support. He looked straight at Tadun and asked, "What else do you have to say?"

Tadun looked calm and looked at Leshi: "Are you sure you are against me for this reason?"

Le Shi said with full energy: "Of course."

"You have great prestige in Wuhuan, and you are also the son of King Qiu. It is right for you to inherit the position of King of Wuhuan."

"But you are a coward who only cares about survival. I cannot agree with this, and countless generals and warriors cannot agree with this either."

"So you need to give us an explanation."

A sharp light flashed in Tadun's eyes: "Since you agree that I am the King of Wuhuan, you should obey my orders."

"If I can even question the king's orders at will, am I still the one and only Wuhuan King?"

"I have my own considerations. There's no need to let everyone know."

"I will give you a chance now. Leave immediately. Since you are wholeheartedly caring about the Wuhuan, I will forgive you for what happened."

"If you really want to provoke me, the King of Wuhuan, I will not show mercy. You should know that I will never show mercy to my enemies. I will only cut off the roots."

Many people were frightened by this sentence and subconsciously took a few steps back. They did not dare to confront Tadun head-on.

Keleshi and his confidants who had already contacted Loulan did not back down. Their eyes were filled with determination. They shouted, "Tadun, don't use your status to suppress us."

"You are only the adopted son of King Qiu, and you have no blood relationship with him. The position of King Wuhuan does not necessarily have to be given to you."

Tadun was extremely angry and laughed: "Is this the reason why you are making trouble today?"

"If I am not worthy of being the Wuhuan King, who do you think is more worthy?"

"More qualified than me?"

"It can't be a stone carving, right?"

Le Shi snorted coldly: "I have never thought of this, but I cannot watch a coward like a mouse become the King of Wuhuan. Anyone can be the King, but you can't be the King."

Several trusted generals on the side also shouted loudly: "General Le Shi is the only natural general on the grassland in terms of bravery and military prowess. In terms of wisdom and strategy, he is also a rare person in my Wuhuan tribe who is both civil and military."

"Why can't he be the King of Wuhuan?"

"I support General Le Shi as the King of Wuhuan, to lead us in the fight against the Huaxia and drive the enemy completely out of our homeland."

Zhang Ming, who was standing beside Tadun, had a fierce look in his eyes. He pointed at Leshi and shouted, "Leshi, do you want to rebel?"

"You really don't want to live?"
