After drinking for a while, Nie Yuan flipped his collar and walked out of the bar.
However, he had only taken a few steps when dozens of guards appeared in front and behind him and surrounded him.
The leader was dressed in armor, just like an ancient general.
"Stop, Nie Yuan! I didn't expect you to dare to come back … "The General Rat Demon sneered.
"This is my birthplace, why can't I come back? Or has my status as a rat been revoked by your new king? "Nie Yuan said without the slightest fear.
"Humph, you traitor! Previously, you gathered disobedient people and tried to restore the throne. How much damage did you cause to the Greater Rat Clan, and now you still have the face to come back? Now it's the right time to capture you and present you to the king! "The General Rat Demon waved his hand, and the guards were about to surround him.
"You don't have to do anything. I came back this time to see your new king. Take me to him now." Nie Yuan said lightly.
"What schemes do you have now? Let me tell you, don't try to hide anything from the king's Divine Eyes. "The General Rat Demon said sternly.
Obviously, he was loyal to the new king, Bai Shixin. This was normal. If he was not loyal, he would not have the authority to patrol the Greater Rat Kingdom.
"As expected of an ignorant rat. Just lead the way." Nie Yuan said disdainfully.
"Damn it!" The General Rat Demon wanted to teach him a lesson, but he suddenly thought of something and forced himself to endure. Then, he ordered his people to surround him.
Then, the group of rat demons walked along the street to the center of the Greater Rat Kingdom.
Along the way, there were many Greater Rat Demons coming and going. When they saw this scene, they all looked at Nie Yuan.
"This person seems a little familiar? Hey, isn't this the guy who rebelled some time ago? "
"It's him. He used to be the second wisest person in our clan. He used the name of the Elder Ancestor and tried to seize the throne. He didn't even look at himself and see if he deserves this throne …"
"That's right. He's just a local rat demon born a few years ago. He's no different from us. His bloodline isn't noble, and his strength isn't strong. What makes him a king?"
"That's right. The new king is an Upper Realm rat with noble bloodline. He's more legitimate than him." The passer-by rat demons discussed.
"Hmph, I think it won't be long before he's going to be executed on the execution ground …" Someone said with schadenfreude.
"It seems that so far, no rat demon has been directly executed, and they all died on the battlefield before."
"He's probably the first one."
Nie Yuan's face alternated between green and white as he listened, and a wave of panic faintly started to arise in his heart.
He realized that his plan had neglected a fatal problem, and that was … the human heart.
According to the plan, Bai Shixin would never kill him.
However, when he heard these discussions, he suddenly had an inexplicable feeling that the other party might imitate the ancient emperors and take his head to appease the people.
…
The center of the Greater Rat Kingdom was where the new palace was located.
The new palace seemed to have just been completed. Many of the buildings had been cleaned and rebuilt to imitate the ancient palaces on the ground. The layout was quite similar to the Forbidden City.
There were a total of three main halls and eight side halls, arranged symmetrically along the central axis.
It was magnificent, majestic, and majestic. Looking from afar, it was breathtaking.
In the past, Elder Ancestor Bai did not need these external contrast. He only worked in an ordinary office, but no one could ignore his majesty.
"Hmph, you really know how to put on an act. In such a short time, you built these palaces on a large scale. I don't know how much of the Greater Rat Demon's magical power was consumed, and this magical power should have been used for production." Nie Yuan said disdainfully.
"Shut up, you previously used sorcery to entice the rat demons to participate in the rebellion. There were many casualties. The rat demons were originally scarce, and that was a huge waste." The General Rat Demon reprimanded.
When Nie Yuan heard this, he did not bother to argue. These two things could not be mixed together. In the struggle for power, who would consider whether it was a waste or not?
The General Rat Demon took him outside a palace gate, and then asked someone to report.
"The efficiency is really low. If the Elder Ancestor was still here, he would definitely not let you have an easy time." Nie Yuan once again pointed his finger disdainfully.
"Hmph, what do you know? The king said that now that the Greater Rat Clan has just been established, most of the Greater Rat Demons are short-sighted, and it is not suitable to directly apply the modern human system. They need to first use the ancient system to transition, so as not to be turbulent. When the cultural level of the Greater Rat Clan improves, they can naturally transition to the modern system of the humans on the ground. "The General Rat Demon said with a look of worship.
"My master really knows how to fool people, how ridiculous." Nie Yuan did not care at all.
"Damn it, I really want to kill you with a knife, but I'm afraid that the king will blame me!" The General Rat Demon said angrily.
At this moment, a rat ran out of the palace gate.
It squeaked a few times, then the General Rat Demon waved his hand, and the guards led Nie Yuan into the palace gate.
Along the way, the palace's cleaners and patrolmen were almost all ordinary Greater Rats, and only one or two leaders were Greater Rat Demon-people.
"Hey, your new king has not forgotten himself. At least he knows to use the millions of Greater Rat Demon-people in the right place." Nie Yuan nodded.
After all, he was the wisest person in the clan, and he still had this basic ability.
It seemed that the other party did not become stupid because he ascended the throne. Power did not blind the other party's eyes, which was a little troublesome.
Not long after, Nie Yuan entered the first hall under the lead of the General Rat Demon.
As soon as he entered, he was envious.
In the hall, there was a high platform, and Bai Shixin was sitting on the high platform, reading memorials with his head down.
Below the platform, two rows of officials sat neatly opposite each other, and were reading documents with their heads down.
It was as if they had taken the office of a modern human and changed it into an ancient palace.
It was really like trying to draw a tiger but failing to become a dog. If he wanted to learn, he should learn the whole set. He wanted to improve efficiency and maintain his dignity, how could there be such a good thing?
Nie Yuan thought sourly. Originally, he should have been the one sitting on the high platform.
In the end, due to a strange combination of factors, all his efforts were in vain, and his struggle for power failed.
The other party had a wider network, more reserves, and stronger supporters.
He had already used Cang Gongzi's banner, and behind him was the support of the suppressed Elder Ancestor Bai, but he still did not win the hearts of the people, and was completely defeated by the other party. As expected, he was still lacking.
However, he would not give up. This position would return to his hands sooner or later.
Bai Shixin was just keeping it for him, so he would give him the title of Taizong in the future …
"Who is standing below the platform?"
Just as Nie Yuan was lost in thought, a majestic voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
'How pretentious,' Nie Yuan secretly sneered.
"Master, you've become so forgetful after becoming a noble. Your disciple came from thousands of miles away to congratulate you for finally achieving your wish and ascending to the throne. "
"Hehe, you rebelled first, then stole later. I was thinking of getting someone to arrest you, but the kingdom was newly established, and there were many things to do, so I didn't have the time to care about you. Instead, you walked right into the trap. Come, push me out the door, and behead in public … "Bai Shixin just glanced at him and said lightly.
'Uh, this is different from the script I imagined.'
Seeing that the surrounding guards had already surrounded them, Nie Yuan hurriedly said, "Wait, I have something important to report to the king."
"Oh, go ahead. I'd like to hear what kind of important matter it is that you have the confidence to rely on it to avoid death. "Bai Shixin said coldly.
"I have reliable news that soon, a clan will descend from the sky and compete with us Greater Rats for the underground space." Nie Yuan hurriedly said.
"Hiss …" The group of civil officials and Greater Rat Demon-men put down the documents in their hands, very shocked.
All along, the Greater Rats had never met their opponents in the underground development.
After all, there were already very few creatures that lived underground, and those that could become demons were even rarer.
As for the creatures that lived thousands of meters underground, it was even rarer. It was difficult to form an ecological community, let alone establish a kingdom.
The local creatures were not competitive, but the creatures of the Upper Realm were numerous, and above them, there was no lack of underground survivors.
It seemed that the good days of the past were gone forever.
