From the beginning of the game of power, I became the protagonist

I don't know if this guy has been stuffed into the ice formation of the "Mirage" yet. I hope he won't return empty-handed.

Considering how much Dongjun of the Yin-Yang School values ​​his daughter, it shouldn't be a problem for him to learn the secrets of the Yin-Yang School's magical arts from her.

This is a top secret skill that is almost on par with the Mohist mechanical techniques. It is really mouth-watering.

As soon as he thought of this, Chen Hui couldn't help but think of the holy figure in the anime who was as gorgeous as the golden crow in the sky, and he felt a little excited.

Dongjun of the Yin-Yang School, please don’t let me down.

By the way, there is also the legendary Concubine Yu, who was so beautiful that even the King of Western Chu was infatuated with her. I wonder if she is now in Sanghai.

To be fair, Chen Hui is not very interested in original characters in the anime such as Duanmu Rong and Dongjun.

But for characters created based on historical prototypes, it is completely different.

After all, Chen Hui grew up watching their legends.

There is a bit of idol complex in it.

Chen Hui was somewhat excited when he thought about meeting a person he had only seen in history books, especially the famous Yu Meiren.

Speaking of which, Xiang Shaoyu left the Mechanical City early this time, and he probably wouldn't have specially run to Sanghai, which is thousands of miles away. He wouldn't have indirectly lost another pair of butterflies, would he?

What? You mentioned Jing Tianming and Gao Yue. Chen Hui said, "What's the point of having a premature love relationship? It's illegal, don't you know? Hurry up and study hard and make progress every day."

Looking up at the two girls who were whispering to each other, Chen Hui could only shake his head helplessly, secretly sighing that in this world, there might not be another timeless masterpiece like "Farewell My Concubine".

This is really a bit regrettable.

Chapter 39: If I lose the throne, immortality will be meaningless

After driving for five days and five nights, Chen Hui and his group finally arrived at their destination - Sanghai.

Sanghai is located on the coast of the East China Sea and is one of the most important ports in the land of Qi and Lu.

Although there was no import and export trade in this era, the profits from fishing and salt were very developed.

The reason why Qi State was able to become the overlord and even be called the Eastern and Western Emperors together with Qin State was because of the huge profits brought by fishing and salt.

Therefore, as soon as they entered Sanghai, Chen Hui and others found that this place was indeed prosperous in all industries and bustling with people. It was no wonder that Confucianism would set up its headquarters here.

After all, this sect has always advocated "fine clothes and delicious food", and it is really unacceptable to stay in a remote and poor place.

Thinking back to the 'Teacher of All Ages' who, when down and out, derided himself as a lost dog, Chen Hui couldn't help but shake his head with deep emotion.

At this point in time, who could have imagined that Confucianism would become so glorious in the future, dominating the orthodox status of Chinese civilization for two thousand years, and no other doctrine could compete with it.

If the Chinese nation had not later, at its darkest moment, collided head-on with the Western countries that had developed industrial civilization, and was defeated and humiliated, and forced to cede territory and pay indemnities, the

Countless talented and ambitious people would not, under the tremendous pressure of almost losing their country and genocide, sweep the Confucianism that had been practiced for two thousand years into the garbage dump of history and fanatically embrace scientific and technological civilization.

I can only say that everything is for survival.

Embracing Confucianism is one thing, and rejecting Confucianism is another. Times have changed, and the guiding ideology must change accordingly.

Change means communication, communication means survival; this is the absolute truth that will never change.

"Yi Lang, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Chen Hui staring at the scenery outside the window with a hint of sadness in his eyes, Princess Yu Shu couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Nothing, I just thought of something not so good."

Tilting his head to wipe away the tears that were faintly visible in the corners of his eyes, Chen Hui felt sad for the last time for the dramatic changes in the times that almost broke the backbone of the entire China. Then he put these complicated thoughts behind him and looked at the Mohist secret stronghold in Sanghai City with great interest.

There is an inn.

This is a common name for inns that often appears in the world of martial arts. It first appeared in "The Deer and the Cauldron 2: Dragon Cult" in 1992.

After complaining that he didn't know whether the screenwriter of Qin Shi Huang had paid the patent fee to Stephen Chow, Chen Hui took the two women out of the car frame and walked into the inn with a rather impressive facade.

I can only say that this is a shop that is worthy of being run by the descendant of the legendary chef, Po Ding. Even though it is not meal time now, the shop is still crowded with people and business is quite prosperous.

This shows that the skill of the one of the Mohist leaders who is like a modern-day chef is so high that even Chen Hui is quite tempted.

Therefore, I decided to experience the legendary extraordinary skill of "ease" before going to Xiaoshengxianzhuang.

After all, we have been traveling for such a long time and need to rest up.

Of course, this is just one of the reasons. As for the second reason, those who understand will understand.

Seeing that Chen Hui and the other three were so charming, especially Yu Shu and Duanmu Rong, they were both more charming than the other.

Therefore, as soon as the three people entered the store, the slightly noisy voices stopped, and countless pairs of eyes looked towards them.

Envy or jealousy, the list goes on.

Although the Mohists had always been wanted criminals in the Qin State, this place was in the Dongjun area far away from Guanzhong, which was originally a weak area under the imperial rule.

In addition, Chen Hui and Yu Shu were both new to the world, and Duanmu Rong had been living in seclusion in Taihu Medical Village for many years. Therefore, no one recognized that the three of them were anti-Qin elements. They just looked at them a few more times in surprise and sighing.

Of course, except for the Mohist disciples hidden in the store.

They may not know Chen Hui, the new leader, but they must know Duanmu Rong, the leader of the Mohist school.

After all, there are so many Mohist disciples who have received treatment from this "Mirror Lake Medical Immortal".

Not to mention that Duanmu Rong had already sent a message to Po Ding, who was in charge here, so everyone was already prepared.

So, just a moment later, the shopkeeper, Cook Ding, with a potbelly and reeking of cooking fumes, strode out from the back of the kitchen. He looked at Chen Hui, who was standing in the front of the three, and laughed, "Boss Yi, long time no see. How come you have time to come today?"

"I'm so sorry to bother Chef Ding with something again."

Although it was their first meeting, both Chen Hui and Pao Ding were experienced veterans, so their acting was extremely natural, as if they had really known each other for a long time.

After a few familiar greetings, Pao Ding led the three of them to the exclusive private room. He bowed to Duanmu Rong and said, "Greetings, Commander Duanmu."

Then he clasped his fists and bowed to Chen Hui, saying, "Greetings, Mr. Yi."

Yes, that's right. For the sake of confidentiality, Chen Hui requested that the true identity of the 'Ghost Face' leader not be revealed to anyone. Even Pao Ding, one of the leaders, only knew that Chen Hui was a friend of the Mohist school from the Wudang sect.

After the three of them returned the greetings and sat down, Duanmu Rong, the most anxious, was the first to ask, "Uncle Pao Ding, is there any news about Gao Yue?"

"Not yet." Pao Ding shook his head and said, "But recently, several high-ranking members of the Yin-Yang family came to Sanghai. I don't know what they are doing specifically."

"It's just the top leaders of the Yin-Yang family. The Qin army hasn't made any big moves?" Chen Hui said lightly.

"Qin troops? No, everything's normal." Cook Ding chuckled. "If I must say there's been any movement, it's that their arrogance is much lower than before. The 'Ghost Face' boss's actions in Guanzhong have truly embarrassed Ying Zheng."

"Speaking of which, Commander Duanmu, when will I have the honor of meeting this new great master? This time, he really gave all the anti-Qin people in the world a good vent. It's amazing. He is worthy of being the great master of my Mo family!"

"You've already paid your respects." Duanmu Rong muttered to herself, and looked at Chen Hui with a worried look on her face. "Mr. Yi, if there's still no news about Gao Yue, then we can only kidnap the top brass of the Yin-Yang family and exchange them for her?"

"It seems this is the only way left." Chen Hui replied calmly: "The Yin-Yang family is so powerful that we can't search everywhere. We can only kidnap people and exchange them."

"But before arresting her, it's best to find out why the Yin-Yang family specifically wanted to capture Gao Yue and what's so special about her. Otherwise, it's likely to backfire."

Chen Hui was talking about Gao Yue, but in his heart he was thinking about the fact that the Qin army did not increase its troops as significantly as in the anime.

It seems that he has made Ying Zheng too embarrassed this time. His top priority now is to mobilize enough food and grass as soon as possible to appease the hungry old Qin people in Guanzhong area. He has no intention of running to Sanghai thousands of miles away.

After all, although immortality is good, the foundation of the empire must be preserved first.

If you lose your position as emperor, what’s the point of living longer?

Isn't it just a living hell?

Chapter 40: The Orphan of Shu Mountain - Xiao Yu

However, due to Ying Zheng's obsession with immortality, he was temporarily unable to escape and come.

However, it is still possible to arrange a group of people from the Yin-Yang School to check the progress of the project first.

I don’t know if Dongjun and Gaoyue have arrived. It would be best to solve both of their problems at once.

By the way, the Dongjun Yanfei in the anime seemed to have been escorted here by Donghuang Taiyi himself before the Mirage set sail.

If by some chance you happen to run into this unfathomable being, it would be quite unpleasant.

It seems that before exploring the mirage, we still have to settle Yu Shu and Duanmu Rong first.

Confucianism is a good place. After all, Xunzi is almost comparable to Donghuang Taiyi.

Well, at least on the surface, they are almost comparable.

After Chen Hui finished speaking, he remained silent and thought.

Duanmu Rong and Yu Shu on the side did not dare to disturb them and could only wait quietly without saying a word.

As for Po Ding, although he was somewhat curious about Duanmu Rong's respectful attitude towards Chen Hui, since neither of them spoke, he, who was a rough but delicate person, naturally did not say anything more and just quietly accompanied them in waiting.

After a moment, Chen Hui, who had been silent for a long time, slowly let out a long breath. He looked at the chef standing beside him and smiled, "I've heard that Chef Ding's cooking skills are extraordinary. His ancestors even earned the eternal reputation of 'ease and grace.'"

"I wonder if I will have the honor to taste the delicious food cooked by the master himself this time."

Well, the world is huge, and eating is the biggest.

Satisfy your appetite first and worry about other things later.

Seeing that Duanmu Rong didn't object to Chen Hui's remarks, Cook Ding chuckled and nodded cheerfully, "Of course I won't let Mr. Yi down. I'll show you my cooking skills now. Please enjoy them, my dear guests."

As he spoke, Cook Ding nodded to Duanmu Rong beside him, then stood up and left the room to prepare the dishes.

"Mr. Yi, Gao Yue..." Duanmu Rong's mind was now full of Gao Yue's whereabouts, and she had no intention of eating at all.

But she doesn't have it, but Chen Hui has it plenty.

So he immediately raised his hand to stop the other person from speaking, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

After all, Chen Hui, who had watched the anime, knew it very well.

The Yin-Yang family captured Gao Yue only for her so-called "noble bloodline". They wanted to use it to unlock the secret of the "Seven Stars of the Azure Dragon" and would not harm her.

'The Seven Stars of the Azure Dragon', one of the most top-secret secrets in the Qin Dynasty world, perhaps even the best.

But why is it such a coincidence?

It's another 'dragon', and it requires the so-called 'noble bloodline' to unlock it.

Chen Hui said that guessing riddles is really not his forte. Can he go to a less secretive world next time? It is really annoying to have secrets everywhere.

Seeing that Chen Hui ignored her, Duanmu Rong didn't dare to say anything more even though she was anxious.

He could only suppress his anxiety with the comfort of Princess Yu Shu and wait quietly by the side.

Time passed quietly minute by minute. After waiting for about two quarters of an hour, the door of the box was slowly pushed open. Then a handsome young servant came in, carrying a food box and began to put food on the table.

"It's her? What a coincidence, what an interesting thing."

Unlike the two women who had little cultivation, Chen Hui, who had profound skills, could tell from the sound of the boy's footsteps when he entered the room that he not only had martial arts skills, but was also quite skilled even though his eyes were closed.

Well, he is only second to Pao Ding, and better than Duanmu Rong and Yu Shu.

And in this inn, there should be only one servant who is so young but has such high cultivation level.

The second target of Chen Hui’s trip was the famous poppy in history.

He slowly opened his eyes and looked over, gazing at the pretty face in front of him, which, though not yet fully grown, already hinted at her future peerless elegance. Suddenly, he spoke word by word, "Xiao Yu, the guard of Yu Yuan from the Shushan Sect, right? I finally meet you."

The servant who was serving the dishes froze when he heard this. He raised his head hesitantly and looked at Chen Hui with a meaningful look in his eyes. He forced a smile and said, "What are you talking about, sir? What about Shushan..."

As soon as he said this, the servant suddenly exerted force with his hands, trying to overturn the table.

Then, she couldn't move even a finger.

Isn't this nonsense? Since Chen Hui has revealed her identity, he will of course be on guard against this guy suddenly attacking him.

Given the huge gap between the two, Xiao Yu, who had turned into a servant, would have no chance of resistance.

After casually pointing a finger at Xiao Yu, who froze in place, Chen Hui pulled her aside, her face filled with despair, and forced her to sit down. He gazed at the various delicacies on the table and said leisurely, "Only delicious food and beautiful scenery can't be wasted. These are all the painstaking efforts of Chef Pao Ding. It's a shame to have them overturned like this."

Then, Chen Hui looked at the two women who were somewhat caught off guard and explained, "After the Shushan Sect was conquered by Ying Zheng, the Fusang sacred tree within the sect was also seized and transported to the shores of the East China Sea."

This is the orphan of the Shushan School. He must have come here following the trail of the Fusang sacred tree."

"Yi Lang...how do you know all this?"

Although Duanmu Rong was confused, she did not dare to ask this powerful giant, but Yu Shu did not have so many concerns and asked hesitantly.

"I guessed." Chen Hui didn't want to explain any further. He immediately picked up the dish with his chopsticks and tasted it, nodding his head in approval. "It's a masterpiece of Master Cook Ding, truly extraordinary, with a lingering fragrance and a beautiful color."

"It's a pity that it doesn't sparkle like in the anime. Is it really just a special effect?" This is what Chen Hui said in his heart.

"Hahahaha, Mr. Yi, thank you for your compliment." With a hearty laugh, Pao Ding reappeared in the private room. He then saw Xiao Yu, who was sitting blankly beside him, exclaiming, "Mr. Yi, what do you mean by this? Why are you attacking my servant?"

"Uncle Po Ding, she is not an ordinary servant, she is an orphan of the Shushan School." Duanmu Rong saw a hint of hostility on Po Ding's face, so she quickly stood up and pulled him to explain.
