After drinking for a while, Nie Yuan turned over his collar and walked out of the bar.
However, he didn't take a few steps when dozens of guards appeared in front and behind him, surrounding him.
The leader was wearing a helmet and 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 place of origin, why can't I come back? Or has my rat status been canceled by your new king?" Nie Yuan said without the slightest fear.
"Hmph, you rebellious traitor! You gathered disobedient people in an attempt to restore the throne and caused so much damage to our giant rat clan. Now you still have the nerve to come back? Now it's time to capture you and offer you to the king!" General Rat Demon! With a wave of his hand, the guards would come forward to round him up.
"I won't bother you. I'm coming back this time just to see your new king. Take me to see him now." Nie Yuan said calmly.
"What conspiracy do you have? Tell you, don't hide anything from the king's divine eyes." The general Shu Yao said sternly.
Obviously he is loyal to the new king Bai Shixin, which is normal. If he were not a loyal person, he would not have the power to lead troops to patrol the Giant Rat King City.
"You are indeed an ignorant rat. Just lead the way." Nie Yuan said with disdain.
"Damn it!" General Rat Demon wanted to teach the other party a lesson, but something suddenly occurred to him, so he forced himself to endure it, and then ordered people to surround him.
Then a group of rat demons walked along the street towards the center of the Giant Rat King City.
Along the way, many giant rat demons came and went. Seeing this scene, they all looked sideways at Nie Yuan.
"This man seems familiar? Yes, isn't this the guy who rebelled some time ago?"
"It was him who was once the second wisest man of our clan. He took the name of our ancestor and tried to seize the throne. He didn't even look at his own virtue to see if he was worthy of the throne..."
"That's right. It's just a local rat demon that's just a few years old. It's no different from us. It's not noble in blood, and it's not strong in strength. Why should it be the king?"
"Yes, the new king is also a rat from the upper realm after all. He has a noble bloodline, so he is more legitimate than him." The passers-by, rat demons, and others were talking about it.
"Hmph, I thought that he would be executed in the execution ground soon..." Some people gloated.
"It seems that no rat demon has been directly executed so far. They all died on the battlefield before."
"He's probably the first one."
Nie Yuan's face turned pale and pale upon hearing this, and a faint panic began to arise in his heart.
He found that his plan ignored a fatal problem, that is... the human heart.
In the plan, it was absolutely impossible for Bai Shixin to kill himself.
However, after hearing these comments, he suddenly had an inexplicable feeling that the other party would probably imitate the ancient emperors and take his own head to calm the public's anger.
… …
The center of the Giant Rat King City is where the new royal palace is located.
The new palace seems to have just been completed. Many buildings have been cleaned up and rebuilt to imitate ancient human palaces on the ground. The layout is quite similar to the Forbidden City.
There are three main halls and eight side halls, arranged symmetrically along the central axis.
It is magnificent, majestic, and shocking when viewed from a distance.
In the past, the ancestor of the Bai family did not need these external foils. He only worked in an ordinary office, but no one could ignore his majesty.
"Humph, you really know how to show off. In a short period of time, you have built these palaces with a lot of construction work. I don't know how much giant rat demon mana was consumed, and these mana should have been used for production." Nie Yuan said disdainfully.
"Shut up, you used sorcery to lure the rat demon into participating in the rebellion, resulting in many casualties. Originally, the rat demon was scarce, so it was a huge waste." The general rat demon scolded.
When Nie Yuan heard this, he didn't bother to argue with him. The two things cannot be confused. In the struggle for power, how can anyone consider whether to waste or not
General Rat Demon took him outside a palace gate, and then asked someone to report him.
"The efficiency is really poor. If the ancestor were still here, I would never make things easier for you." Nie Yuan pointed disdainfully again.
"Humph, what do you know? The king said that now that the giant rats have just established, most giant rat demons are short-sighted and are not suitable to directly apply the modern human system. They need to use the ancient system to make a transition first, so as not to be turbulent. When the giant rat clan's cultural level improves, they can naturally transition to the modern system of humans on the ground." The general rat demon said with a look of admiration.
"My master is really good at cheating. It's really ridiculous." Nie Yuan said without caring at all.
"Hateful, I really want to chop you to death, but I'm afraid the king will blame you!" General Rat Demon said angrily.
At this moment, a mouse ran out quickly from the palace gate.
It chirped a few times, and then the general rat demon waved his hand, and the guards led Nie Yuan into the palace gate.
Along the way, almost all the cleaners and patrollers in the palace were ordinary giant rats, and only one or two of the foremen were giant rat demons.
"Hey, your new king hasn't forgotten about it yet. At least he knows how to use the millions of giant rat demons in the right place." Nie Yuan nodded.
After all, he is the wisest person in the clan, and he still has this basic ability.
It seems that the other party has not become stupid just because he ascended the throne. Power does not blind the other party, which is a bit troublesome.
Not long after, Nie Yuan entered the first hall under the leadership of General Rat Demon.
As soon as he entered, he felt envious.
In the main hall, there was a high platform, and Bai Shixin was sitting on the high platform, lowering his head to review the memorial.
There were two rows of courtiers sitting neatly facing each other under the stage, correcting documents with their heads down.
It is as if the modern office routine of human beings has been transformed into an ancient palace.
It’s really like painting a tiger instead of a dog. If you want to learn the whole thing, you want to improve your efficiency and maintain your dignity. How can there be such a good thing
Nie Yuan thought sourly that he should be the one sitting on the high platform.
As a result, there was a mistake, the success fell short, and the struggle for power failed.
The other party has wider connections and reserves, and the people invited to help are stronger.
He had already taken Mr. Cang as his banner, and he had the support of the suppressed ancestor of the Bai family. However, he failed to win over the people and was completely defeated by the opponent. As expected, there was still something lacking.
However, he will not give up. This position will return to his hands sooner or later.
Bai Shixin is just taking care of it for you. Let’s give him the title of Taizong from now on...
"Who is standing under the stage?"
Just as Nie Yuan was lost in thought, a majestic voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
He really knows how to put on an act, Nie Yuan sneered secretly.
"Master, you have really become a noble man and forget things a lot. This disciple has come from thousands of miles away to congratulate the master on finally getting what he wanted and becoming the king."
"Haha, you are rebelling first and stealing behind. I am just thinking about someone taking you. But the kingdom has been established and there are many things to do. I have no time to pay attention to you. But you have thrown yourself into a trap. Come on, push me out of the door and behead you. Show it to the public..." Bai Shixin just glanced at him and said lightly.
Uh, this is different from the imagined script.
Seeing that the surrounding guards had gathered around him with eager eyes, Nie Yuan hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, I have something important to report to the king."
"Oh, tell me. I would like to hear what kind of big event it is. Can you be confident that you can avoid death by relying on it?" Bai Shixin said coldly.
"I have reliable news. Soon, a clan will descend from the sky and compete with us giant rats for underground space." Nie Yuan said quickly.
"Hiss..." All the civil servants and giant rat demons put down the documents in their hands, very shocked.
For a long time, the giant rat has never encountered an opponent in its underground development.
After all, there are very few creatures living underground, and those who can become monsters are even rarer.
As for the creatures thousands of meters underground, they are even rarer. It is difficult to form an ecological community, let alone a kingdom.
The native creatures are not competitive, but there are many creatures in the upper world, and above them there are many people who survive underground.
It seems that the good old days are gone forever.
The great foundation created by the ancestors of the Bai family finally has new competitors.
