Capítulo 819: Rivalry

Zhe Su was not a big fan of conspiracies. When he had lived in the Royal Court, he had always abhorred the constant deceit and intrigue there. In his eyes, subterfuge and assassination were not the only things responsible for King Rizhu's death. He had ultimately been a victim of many various plots.

Whoever gained the Naihang Tribe's support would be the new Khan, and in return, one of King Rizhu's sons would regain his father's title — this was widely taken to be the consensus. So, Zhe Su decided to conduct the negotiations publicly.

The Second Consort was invited and she sat at the head of the table as a representative of the Khan's authority. Dozens of generals had also been invited, and they sat on the side of the table, acting as witnesses to the negotiations. Finally, Shulitu and Duodun were sitting opposite to each other, fully displaying the sharp contrast between both their sizes and their demeanor.
