The ancients watched me play the Starry Sky Railway

Chapter 523 Their smiles are too dazzling

"No," Qin Liangyu laughed and shook her head. "Haha, is it possible that in your world, wheat is only grown for food? Wheat is the raw material for ethanol, a valuable source of energy that supports the Great Qin."

"Oh my! I thought it was just an ordinary wheat field, but it turns out to be biomass fuel?" Holmes raised an eyebrow.

"I've heard that the world you come from has a completely different historical development than our own. Although I can only speculate based on observation, I'm sure you've all experienced a rather cruel world," Qin Liangyu said hesitantly.

"Why do you say that?" Ritsuka was a little curious about how she figured that out."

Qin Liangyu: "Whether it's you or the little girl beside you... I hope my words aren't too offensive... You don't look like brave warriors who love violence. You have gentle eyes that don't match the killing intent."

"You're still so young, you clearly don't like fighting, yet you're forced to live this kind of life. How cruel it is..." Qin Liangyu's eyes were filled with such tender words.

"Mashu and Ritsuka lowered their eyes and said nothing more."

"At night, the villagers took out their treasured food and fine wine and held a carnival."

"It seems they're quite pleased with the gift called the Imperial Gift." Mordred smiled at the villagers' smiles.

"Spartacus on the side grinned even wider."

"Speaking of which, this is quite unlike you. Normally, you'd be furious, blaming them for being fooled by the rulers' bread and butter and circuses," Mordred quipped.

"Perhaps, but..." Starbucks muttered, "Even if I wanted to nitpick, their smiles are a bit too dazzling. In the past, I was driven by the people suffering from hunger and pain, being abused like animals. But it's different here."

"Looking back, he realized he had never seen a village as filled with peaceful joy as this one."

"Of course. This is a world without war or bandits. It's completely different from our history of never letting go of swords." Mordred chuckled.

Spartacus expressed a longing: "Perhaps one day, the blood shed by me and my compatriots will turn into a smile like this."

"What a wonderful world it is."

The people looked at the sky and gradually became mesmerized.

We are all poor people, so why do those people live so well?

"Look, they've even brought out a huge piece of meat!"

"I can't even eat a piece of meat during Chinese New Year! Why do they still have meat to eat?"

"It would be great if our emperor was also the First Emperor..."

"Hush! Keep your voice down! Are you trying to kill yourself?"

"Oh, if this keeps going on, I'm going to starve to death. Don't even mention complaining. Even if I scold him a few times, what's wrong? Good-for-nothing emperor!"

"I finally understand why those scholars always say that the First Emperor was a tyrant. The dog emperor they are loyal to is incapable of making life good for the people, so they smear the good emperor who could make life good for the people."

"That's it!"

…………

Qin Dynasty.

The people looked at each other in confusion.

"Our emperor is also the First Emperor, right?"

"Yes."

"Then why do the people in the Sky Dome live so well? They've had two carnivals in a row, and they've been eating meat non-stop!"

"Forget meat here. Even bean rice isn't enough to fill you up."

"Do we have to wait until the First Emperor becomes an immortal, and then use his magic to give us a good life?"

"It should be. My second uncle's wife's brother's cousin's cousin is a guard in the palace. I heard that the First Emperor found a man named Xu Fu to help him make elixirs."

"The elixir won't work! I need to find a blacksmith to build that mechanical body!"

"Yes, yes, the elixir is useless! God bless, let the First Emperor become an immortal as soon as possible, so that we can live a good life sooner!"

…………

"Inside the camp, Ake Hinako originally planned to send Lanling King to assassinate the Chaldeans under cover of night, but before she could leave, she was discovered and stopped by the First Emperor."

"In order to completely dispel Ake Hinako's rebellious thoughts, the First Emperor ordered Xiang Yu to commit suicide on the spot!"

"As a machine, he didn't hesitate at all before raising his sword to cut off my neck."

"But this frightened Jie Hinako so much that she cried and begged the First Emperor to revoke his order, saying she was willing to be a slave and a servant, just so that Xiang Yu could live."

"Satisfied with this promise, the First Emperor ordered Xiang Yu to stop... As he expected, Xiang Yu was the only wish in Akechi Hinako's life."

"However, this caused a huge doubt in Xiang Yu's heart. Why, why did this woman care about him so much?"

"…I must ask you once more, who exactly is this so-called Xiang Yu?"

"…" Aku Hinako sighed deeply, "What I'm going to tell you next is another part of history that you don't know."

"Xiang Yu: "Is that the one you assumed, that the First Emperor did not obtain a holy body, but died?"

"Akure Hinako: "Yes, after His Majesty's passing, the search for immortality was buried in darkness, and you, hidden in the secret laboratory in Kuaiji County, were no exception. However, someone secretly stole and reactivated that you. Xiang Liang... one of the heroes who would later rise up to revive the State of Chu."

"Huh?" Little Xiang Yu was stunned, then slowly turned his head to look at Xiang Liang: "Uncle, I am indeed your nephew, right?"

Xiang Liang's face darkened. "Nonsense! Do you really think you're that six-armed centaur? That's all from another world!"

Xiang Yu shrank his neck.

In fact, he thought the six-armed centaur form was quite handsome. When it appeared on the battlefield, it was a perfect image of a ghost or god.

…………

"I...fell into the hands of a traitor?" Xiang Yu exclaimed in shock.

"Jie Hinako: "Xiang Liang knew you were not human, but in order to utilize your extraordinary abilities to achieve his ambitions, he lied to you that you were his nephew and granted you an identity, giving you the surname Xiang, the given name Ji, and the courtesy name Yu."

After a long silence, Xiang Yu slowly said, "Indeed, I was only installed in this tactical body long after it was activated. Initially, I was imitating a humanoid form..."

"Ake Hinako continued, 'No one doubted Xiang Liang's lies. It was impossible to doubt that the machine forged by the First Emperor, imitating the Golden Elixir Lotus created by Taiyi Zhenren, was beyond the comprehension of the common people. And so, your name... Xiang Yu, will be passed down through the ages as China's greatest general.'"
