The debate in the square gradually became clearer under the control of a group of people. Most of the Greater Rats faintly felt that there was only one suitable candidate. The others either had no reputation, no ability, or no leadership experience. They sounded unreliable at first glance.
At this moment, Bai Shifu received a look and immediately said loudly, "I, Bai Shifu, the current commander-in-chief of the Greater Rat Clan, support the Military Advisor to lead us to a new future!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the noisy square suddenly became silent.
Bai Shifu was a high-ranking official. In the past, with Elder Ancestor Bai's suppression, others could not show it.
In fact, in terms of status and real power, he was the head of Elder Ancestor Bai's three carriages. The reason he could hold such power was naturally because he was relatively simple-minded.
The other two were naturally Bai Shixin and Nie Yuan.
Then, someone else said, "The Information Department supports the Military Advisor's ascension!"
Seeing that someone had taken the lead, many people in charge of the core and backbone departments began to express their support for Bai Shixin's ascension.
If Elder Ancestor Bai really died, he would probably be so angry that he would come back to life.
A proper funeral turned into a campaign meeting. Before the corpse even turned cold, it was already forgotten. Who was the main character?
Under the excitement of the crowd, Bai Shixin did not pretend anymore. He directly took the responsibility and gave a short inaugural speech in front of Elder Ancestor Bai's coffin in the middle of the palace square.
At this time, he was smug and promised the Greater Rat Demons that the lives of the Greater Rats would be better in the future.
"Please rest assured. After I take office, I will definitely put the interests of the Greater Rat Clan first. I know that everyone works hard in all walks of life. Please remember, labor is not the goal. The goal of labor is to live a better life. "
"I promise that I will immediately introduce various measures to improve the living standards of the Greater Rat Clan. In the next three months to a year, there will be major changes in medical care, education, employment, and entertainment. "
He spoke with unusual proficiency, as if he had rehearsed this day countless times in his mind, and now he was simply repeating it.
If it was someone else, they would definitely not think that this was a scene of demons choosing a king. They would only think of it as the most ordinary election promise.
The eyes of countless Greater Rat Demons lit up as they listened, some of them could not help but whisper among themselves.
"Choosing a cultivation trash to take office is really beneficial. Look at the conditions he mentioned. How could we have dared to mention even half a word to the Old Ancestor before? "
"That's right. In the past, we could only bury our heads in work. Who dared to say that they wanted entertainment or a vacation? That was simply courting death. The Elder Ancestor could freeze you to death with just a glance!"
"Speaking of which, the ancestor really left at the right time …"
"Keep your voice down. If someone hears you, they'll definitely think that you have a grudge in your heart and put you on a different list."
"What's there to be afraid of? The old man is already gone. Who cares about him? So what if I say a few words? "
"That's true … But shouldn't we learn from humans? I heard that humans work five days and rest two days, which is eight hours a day. We used to work for a month and only get half a day off. We still have to work for 15 to 20 hours a day …"
"That's right. At that time, Elder Ancestor said that we had to overtake them at the bend and work quickly. Many of our brothers were exhausted. If it weren't for the fact that we all have demon bodies and can naturally absorb vitality to nourish ourselves, making us more resilient than humans, I reckon we would have died many times over. "
"Speaking of which, it's a bitter experience. Fortunately, the old man is gone. Otherwise, I don't know if I'll be able to see the sun next year."
"Hmm, if that's the case, we'd better think of a way to prohibit those strong cultivators from coming to power and only let these useless cultivators lead us. This way, we don't have to worry about being forcefully suppressed if we raise any opinions."
The newborn Greater Rat Demons soon began to evolve in the first internal power struggle. They began to gather for their own interests and formed groups.
One of the groups' ideas had already begun to take shape, which was "Oppose the powerhouses coming to power and protect the basic rights and basic welfare of the majority of Greater Rats …"
With the idea in place, how to implement it was a difficult problem.
To make those powerhouses who appeared from time to time give up the ambition to lead the Greater Rat Clan, this was equivalent to hanging a bell on a cat's head.
In response, they expressed that the future was bright, but the road was tortuous. They still had to learn from humans …
Amidst this lively and noisy Greater Rat crowd, Bai Ruocang and Nie Yuan had quietly left.
These two fellows who lacked fighting experience had just realized that without the foundation of the people's hearts, it was definitely not an easy task to rise to power.
Without reputation, merit, and power that could not suppress others, who would listen to you?
…
When Bai Shixin spoke frankly at the inauguration ceremony, he never thought that his house was suddenly being robbed.
Nie Yuan stood at the door of his former master's house with mixed feelings.
Bai Ruocang, who was beside him, asked curiously, "Why did you bring me here? If I want to take back the throne, I have my own ways. Why are we wasting time here? "
"Hmph, I always felt that my cheap master hid something from me. Today, I finally understood that he only taught me about schemes, but he didn't teach me how to control people's hearts. I'm going to look for him in his house. A person who loves to read books like him must have left behind many notes. Now that everyone is at the square, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. "
Nie Yuan stared inside with a burning gaze.
He could not find this kind of opportunity in the past. It was true that Bai Shixin was useless, but he had only cultivated for less than two years, so his power was not that strong.
"After saying so much, don't you just want to steal something? Then do as you please, don't drag me into it. I'm leaving first. "After Bai Ruocang understood the other party's plan, he seemed to have some misgivings.
Without waiting for Nie Yuan to say anything, he directly left.
"Hmph, coward, you're afraid of this? You really are a fool. You don't know that a wise man once said, can the things of scholars be called stealing? "Nie Yuan encouraged himself and then entered Bai Shixin's house.
As expected, there was no one in the house. That woman was probably enjoying herself in the square … Hmph, what a joke.
As he thought about this, he immediately turned his gaze to the study.
There, he learned Sun Tzu's Art of War, and now he wanted to learn more.
Where he fell, he had to lie on his stomach … Look carefully.
In this way, he would not fall a second time. Only by remembering the pit that he tripped into would he not fall a second time.
In a short ten minutes, he excitedly carried a big wrapped bag, just like a thief.
"I didn't expect this master to be so amazing. He actually collected so many rare books. This time I'm rich. If I knew this would happen, I would've stolen it earlier."
With such a happy thought, he fainted …
"You're finally here …" Vigilante A said lightly to Nie Yuan who was lying on the ground.
A small gray ant quickly swung down from his head, crawled into the bag, and began to rummage.
In the next moment, even the ant and the bag disappeared.
