Chapter 697: Quarrel

When Su Fan left the Heavenly Demon Tower and returned to the outside world, it was already the morning of the next day.

After a brief wash, he pushed open the door and walked out of the palace where he was staying.

A noisy quarrel sounded outside the hall, and Su Fan followed the sound and saw that there were hundreds of officers and generals of the kingdom standing outside.

Among them, the newly promoted generals who had participated in the rebellion before accounted for the vast majority, and they had Zhang Chenghu and others as the main representatives, and they quarreled with another group of old generals.

"Ahem!"

Su Fan coughed dryly twice, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"See Lord Su Fan!"

Seeing Su Fan coming out of the hall, these officers and generals all bowed respectfully and saluted.

"What are you doing here in broad daylight to make a fuss about?"

Su Fan carried his hands behind his back, showing a master's style.

"Lord Qi Su Fan, there was a bloody case in the city in the middle of the night last night!"

Zhang Chenghu stepped out of the many generals, and reported to Su Fanyu in a loud voice: "The Xue family, where Duke Xuehe is located, was invaded by unknown masters, and a total of 3,497 members of the Xue family, including Duke Xuehe, were slaughtered, and only Xue Wuchao survived!"

"What? The Xue family was slaughtered?"

Su Fan was stunned, he originally came out today to have a showdown with Xuehe.

After all, it is impossible for a country to have two masters, and one of him and Xuehe is bound to withdraw.

If Xuehe does not agree to withdraw, Su Fan plans to imprison him for the rest of his life.

Because Xue Piaoling is his friend after all, for the sake of Xue Piaoling's face, Su Fan will not really kill Xue He.

However, plans can't keep up with the changes!

It's just a night that has passed, and the Xue family, the only remaining wealthy clan in the Tianlin Kingdom, was slaughtered by unknown people?

Su Fan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and his mood was also extremely complicated.

"Have you ever found out who did this?"

Su Fan asked the generals in front of him.

When all the generals heard Su Fan's question, they all lowered their heads and looked ashamed.

"So you didn't find anything?"

As soon as Su Fan saw the expressions on these people's faces, he understood what was going on.

The generals lowered their heads even deeper, and they all felt that they had no face to see Su Fan.

Time passed little by little, and after Su Fan was silent for a while, he said, "Okay, I'll check this matter myself later, and you all go and get busy!"

Everyone was immediately relieved when they heard this, they originally thought that Su Fan would punish them severely.

Zhang Chenghu and other new generals were bright-eyed, and Su Fan's attitude towards this matter was exactly what they were happy to see.

"Lord Su Fan, we are gathered here today, and I have an important matter to ask you!"

Zhang Chenghu struck while the iron was hot and said, "I wonder when you plan to establish a new country, Lord Su Fan?"

"Zhang Chenghu, stop talking! It was the Duke of Xuehe who led you to overthrow the Tianlin royal family, and Lord Su Fan only played a role in promoting it, so even if you want to build a country, it must be the Duke of Xuehe who becomes the king!"

A veteran of the former Tianlin Kingdom immediately accused Zhang Chenghu, while other former generals also nodded their heads on the side.

These former generals have always been dissatisfied after learning that the royal family was overthrown.

However, at that time, in order to appease these former generals, Xuehe personally visited the mansions of these generals and promised various benefits.

These former generals didn't accept Xuehe's love at first, and they all gave Xuehe a closed door one by one.

But as time went by, these generals of the former dynasty also slowly felt that the qi of the Tianlin royal family had run out, and gradually a few people began to get close to Xuehe.

Once something starts, it gets out of hand.

Later, more and more generals of the former dynasty had contact with Xue He, and until two days ago, all the former generals in the city completely accepted the fact that Xue He was going to be king, and they all supported Xue He to be king.

However, there are two sides to everything, some people support Xuehe as king, then naturally there are also people who don't support Xuehe as king.

These people who do not support Xuehe's claim to be king are many new generals led by Zhang Chenghu.

These new generals are all members of the rebel army who have participated in the battle before, they have seen Su Fan's strength with their own eyes, and they all agree that only Su Fan can lead the nascent kingdom to the road to strength!

As a result, the old and new generations of generals have been arguing for the past two days on the question of who is more suitable for the throne, Su Fan or Xuehe!

"Duke Xuehe is king?" Zhang Chenghu laughed sarcastically: "Haha, the Xue family was destroyed last night, and even Duke Xuehe himself did not escape, how can he be called king by a dead man, can he still run out of hell?"

"Hahahaha! This old general is not old and confused!"

"To make a dead man a king, do you want this dead man to lie on the throne every day?"

"How unfortunate is that, if this kind of thing is heard by people in other countries, it will only say that our kingdom can't even choose a king, so we can only replace it with a dead man!"

Some of the newly-promoted generals followed with sneering on the side, and the faces of those former generals were red and white.

"Although the Duke of Snow River is dead, his son Xue Wuchao is still alive, and we can support Snow Master to become the monarch of the new kingdom!"

"That's right, Xue Gongzi is full of wealth, he has been a rare talent prodigy in the royal capital since he was a child, and he also has a lot of insights into the way of governing the country and the army, and he fully meets the basic conditions for becoming an excellent king!"

The generals of the previous dynasty have moved Xue Wuchao out one after another, and proposed to let Xue Wuchao become the new lord of the kingdom!

"Cut, making a powerless scholar the head of a country is the biggest mistake in itself!"

"Yes, what we need most at the moment is to show our strength to other neighboring countries, as the master of a country, the strength must not be too weak, that Xue Wuchao is just a small soul, how can he convince the public?"

"Lord Su Fan is the strongest person in our country, and he is in charge of the overall situation, and those surrounding countries do not dare to come to offend our country, so this king's position, except for Lord Su Fan, no second person has this qualification to do it!"

The new generals did not show weakness on their side, and quickly organized language to fight back.

After that, there was a long period of language confrontation, and the old and new generals were all fighting there one by one.

Looking at these noisy generals, Su Fan couldn't help but feel bored.

What's so noisy about this?

He didn't plan to ask for the throne in the first place, these people really like to worry about it!

Immediately, Su Fan stretched his waist first, and then his luck dantian suddenly shouted: "Shut up for me!"

This loud shout was like a beast roaring in the ears, instantly shaking these quarreling generals to the ground!
