Chen Mu came to his own room in the palace, and he smiled dumbly after he walked in.

I thought it was so luxurious, but when I came in and took a look, it was just the level of an ordinary inn in their Great Xia.

It's just that on the table, there is a strange flower, with a smell similar to that of mosquito coils in later generations.

Chen Mu called a maid who was waiting for her and asked him what this thing was for, and the maid said that it was here to drive away flies and mosquitoes.

"Well, maybe it's made of similar ingredients to mosquito coils."

Chen Mu told her to go out, and then lay down on the bed. He's too tired today and ready to go to bed.

But at this time, there was a voice outside.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, someone has come to you, and this person said that he is in a hurry."

Hearing the call of the guards outside, Chen Mu could barely sit up, and then said:

"You let that guy in!"

The door was pushed open, and an old man with a long beard and a blue crown walked in grinning.

As soon as he saw Chen Mu, he immediately knelt down: "I am the religious leader here, my name is Rurik, and I see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Great Civilization." ”

This religious leader should have a very high status, Chen Mu had an impression of him, and today he stood very close behind the king.

However, at this time, his attitude towards Chen Mu was quite respectful, and as a leader, he also kowtowed to Chen Mu.

Chen Mu smiled, and he helped this Rurik up.

"Sir, it's so late, do you have something to do with me? Or is your majesty asking you to express something to me? ”

Chen Mu guessed that this person was in charge of religious affairs, and he should have wanted to ask him about the nonsense of the creation myth.

Rurik smiled, glancing to the side, meaning that he hoped that only the two of them would talk.

However, Chen Mu didn't give him this opportunity, the ghost knows what this person is thinking, if he wants to suddenly attack himself or release poison, it will be very troublesome if there is no one around.

"You say, I am surrounded by my henchmen, and they are all trustworthy."

Hearing Chen Mu say this, Rurik nodded, then sat down and said to Chen Mu:

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, I can see that you are a great man of great wisdom and courage, and your country is also very powerful. We all guess that you are a descendant of the gods of our mythical Genesis. ”

Rurik said to Chen Mu, his words were full of compliments.

Chen Mu also heard some extraneous sounds, Rurik was saying that they guessed that Chen Mu might be a descendant of the Creator God, rather than being sure that Chen Mu was their descendant.

"Then I'll ask you, do you think we are immortals or humans."

Chen Mu smiled, he was going to hand over the question to Rurik.

Rurik was stunned for a moment, he lowered his head, and then said something very interesting:

"It doesn't matter if you're a god or a human being, I think you're human, but your country has something that we don't have, and a lot of ordinary people, they'll think you're a god, and that's a very important idea."

Chen Mu laughed, this old man replied very wonderfully.

And it can be seen that this old man actually doesn't believe in mythology very much, but he should also know that their identity and status, many things will be very useful if they use myths and superstitions.

"Your old man is also a smart person, so let's talk about it now, you came to me late at night, and said so many strange things, what do you want to say, let's get straight to the point."

Chen Mu's face suddenly became serious, and he had a premonition that the old man must have a deep meaning when he came over this time.

"If you ask that, then I'll tell you straight."

Rurik took a package from his bosom and opened it, revealing a yellowed piece of parchment.

The parchment was crooked with the names of several people.

"This is a letter of alliance from us, we want to overthrow the current emperor and support the emperor's own brother to succeed to the throne." Rurik said suddenly.

It turned out to be a palace coup.

Chen Mu raised an eyebrow, then shook his head.

"It's a big matter, and it's a matter of your country, why do you want to tell me, do you think I'll support you?"

The corners of the old man's mouth twitched, and he laughed, "Of course you will support us." ”

"Bringing such a powerful warrior as you to us doesn't just want to explore and travel, don't you want to become the master of our country?"

"Don't you want to join us and dominate it all? The opportunity is right in front of you now. ”

The old man pursed his lips, and then said:

"You may think Arslan is modest, but I know him too well, this man can't be trusted, he's the quintessential conspirator."

"I think having him here will affect and hinder you from taking control of this country, and if we overthrow him together and support a king who is more obedient to us, you can easily manipulate him behind the scenes."

"I'm a smart person, and I know my value in front of you, which is to be your cash puppet and help you manipulate the country."

"In the future, let's handle the complicated affairs of specific government affairs, and let you do the things of wealth and power, let you come, it's not the best of both worlds."

The old man is very good at talking, and what he says is quite wonderful, and he understands what he means.

In the latter term, the old man and the so-called emperor's younger brother, the two of them want to be Chen Mu's puppet, or the tool for guarding the land.

After all, Chen Mu is a foreigner, and there are not many people under him, if he wants to rule this country directly, it must be very troublesome.

He might as well pretend to rule by the old man, and then only be responsible for exploitation and reaping benefits.

Chen Mu thought to himself:

It's true that the nature of human beings is almost the same, no matter which country or civilization, they are all the same with friends rather than with domestic slaves.

In order to get power, these people would rather be my puppets, because they still have value to live as my puppets.

But if the emperor is still in that position, they may be executed by the emperor because of the power struggle, and the only poor ones are the people here.

Chen Mu sighed in his heart, after all, as an ordinary person in his previous life, he still had a soft side in his heart.

But soon Chen Mu turned around, as a ruler, he can't be a saint to anyone, he can only maximize the interests of his own group.

For the sake of Great Xia, I also know that I have turned a blind eye.

When science and technology are developed in the future, you can easily travel back and forth between Great Xia and the Chizhou Continent, and then have specific jurisdiction over this side.
