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

This is the foundation of a dynasty's rule and the place that all emperors care about most!

No matter if you are the greatest emperor of all time, once you have no food, your only fate will be to be overthrown and destroyed.

No one is an exception, both in ancient and modern times, in China and abroad!

Even Ying Zheng can’t do it!

So he is almost mad now!

He couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried!

How did the main granary in Xianyang City get burned like this!

You know, because of the extreme importance of grain, various fire prevention measures were specially arranged when this granary was built.

This is the food ration for the entire population of Xianyang for a whole year. Such a large amount of food is not just stored in one warehouse, but fills up almost a hundred warehouses.

The entire granary covers an area of ​​several miles and is divided into several large areas, each separated by high walls and courtyards, and guarded by countless soldiers.

Even if one or two places accidentally catch fire, it will never spread to other areas, and most of the food should be safe.

If there were an external enemy attacking, according to the original design of the granary, there would have to be at least 5,000 soldiers and horses, plus the cooperation of a dozen top masters, and they would have to bring all kinds of flammable materials and attack for three days and three nights before they could break into all areas and set the entire granary on fire.

After such a long time and with such a big commotion, do you think all the defenders around Xianyang City are dead?

Where is this place! This is Xianyang City! It is the capital of the Qin Dynasty! It is the heart of the entire country!

Under the nose of the First Emperor of Qin, let alone gathering 5,000 troops, any gathering of more than 50 people would be noticed by the ubiquitous spies.

Therefore, it is impossible to burn down the entire granary at one time, and even the most powerful masters cannot do it.

Because it is impossible for anyone to carry so many flammable materials while breaking into a heavily guarded granary and burning all the food in the area.

Well, no one.

Except Chen Hui.

Is it difficult to bring something that can start a fire?

Chen Hui said that he had storage space and could also generate dragon flames by himself, which was very easy.

Is it difficult to enter due to heavy guards?

Chen Hui said that he had the Iron Blood Suit, which was a product of interstellar civilization. It could even move freely through modern defense lines, not to mention ancient defense lines.

How many major areas cover a large area?

Excuse me, Chen Hui asked if you have heard of the ‘Escape Technique’?

It doesn’t matter if you haven’t heard of it. You should know that in order to burn all the food at once, Chen Hui deliberately waited until almost midnight before taking action.

Because the 'Escape Technique' can only be activated three times a day, but once it's past midnight it's the next day.

So Chen Hui had to flash six times at once to burn all the food.

Four types of equipment and abilities from other worlds were mobilized to launch a dimensionality reduction attack on the Xianyang granary. Even the greatest emperor of all time had no ability to resist and was immediately slapped in the face by Chen Hui.

This is the annual food ration for a whole million people. Without it, the whole Xianyang will fall into chaos.

After all, there is nothing more toxic than cutting off food supply!

This has cut off the livelihoods of millions of people!

Such a cruel and decisive method. Even Chen Hui didn't want to do more!

But there is no other way now! Chen Hui must give Ying Zheng a heavy blow!

And it has to be fast! Very fast!

The most intense response must be made immediately to Ying Zheng's assassination of Yan Dan, otherwise the morale of the Mohist school will sooner or later be lost.

After all, the feeling of being threatened by assassins all the time and not being able to trust everyone around you is really terrible.

No matter how strong a person is, he cannot withstand this pressure for a long time and will collapse sooner or later.

Why did Ying Zheng dare to be so unscrupulous? Wasn't it because he thought he was superior and only he could touch others while others could not touch him?

So Chen Hui is going to tell you that you are wrong.

You're not the only one with a killer weapon! I have one too!

You killed my superiors! I'll burn your food supplies!

Let's see if my top brass are lucky or if you, Ying Zheng, have plenty of food and supplies!

You kill faster, or I burn faster!

When the enemy also has deterrent weapons in their hands, would Ying Zheng still dare to act recklessly?

He doesn't dare, no one dares.

It’s like if the five major modern gangsters all held nuclear weapons, no one would dare to take action first, because the result of taking action would only be mutual destruction.

No one wants to die, and Ying Zheng, who is obsessed with immortality, is even more afraid of death.

He would never play the game of mutual destruction with Chen Hui.

After all, in Ying Zheng's view, Chen Hui and Mohism were just tiles, while he was a precious porcelain.

So he had no choice but to give in and admit defeat.

This is not difficult to understand. Ying Zheng was not born to be superior. When he was weak, he was still very cowardly and would still kneel on the ground and kowtow to others three times and nine times.

It was just like calling Lu Buwei "Zhongfu" before and tolerating his mother's affair with Lao Ai. It was also very smooth and there was no psychological burden at all.

But now it is no longer the same as before.

At that time, Ying Zheng was just a puppet King of Qin who had not yet taken power. Everyone could understand that he bowed his head and admitted his weakness, after all, Goujian had once slept on firewood and tasted gall.

But now, Ying Zheng has destroyed the six kingdoms and unified the world. He is the Qin Shi Huang, whose virtues are equal to those of the Three Sovereigns and whose achievements are greater than those of the Five Emperors. In the eyes of thousands of Qin people, he is a god-like existence.

Can we admit defeat to such an existence?

Of course not!

God cannot shed blood.

Otherwise, he would not be God.

But so what! Chen Hui was determined to force Ying Zheng to give in! He had to give in!

deny?

If you don't admit it, then Chen Hui will continue to burn! Burn all the food and grass in Guanzhong! Let all the old Qin people have no food to eat!

Is your face, Ying Zheng, more important? Or are the lives of all the Qin people more important?

This is a difficult choice! But Ying Zheng must do it!

Who told you to carry out assassination without any moral principles?

If you were to fight Chen Hui fairly on the battlefield, Chen Hui would not resort to such a desperate measure!

But since you broke the rules first, don't blame me for being ruthless!

So what if you are the greatest emperor of all time? So what if you have unified the world and your power is so great?

As I said, Chen Hui was also the founding emperor who expelled the Tartars and rebuilt China. Even if his achievements were slightly inferior to yours, Ying Zheng, he was at a similar level.

We are all the supreme rulers, no one is nobler than anyone else, and victory or defeat depends on our own means.

Staring coldly at the distant Xianyang City where even the sky was burning red, Chen Hui raised a cruel smile on his face wearing the Iron Blood mask. He put away the Iron Blood computer in his hand, turned around and left and disappeared.

After all, there are still many granaries waiting for Chen Hui to burn.

Burn them all!!!!!!!!!!!

Chapter 36: Ying Zheng surrenders and Mohism returns

The fire burned all night and was not put out until noon the next day by patrolling soldiers.

According to subsequent statistics, more than 70% of the stored food was reduced to ashes in the fire, and less than 30% survived.

In other words, more than 70% of the people in Xianyang City were about to run out of food.

As soon as the news got out, the price of rice in Xianyang skyrocketed, increasing dozens of times in a single day. Even Ying Zheng's fury was of no avail.

Market rules cannot be overcome by relying on harsh laws and punishments. After all, no matter how powerful Ying Zheng is, he cannot prevent people from not eating.

As for the issue of accountability, Ying Zheng did not need to worry about it too much, because all the officials from top to bottom in the granary had been burned to death in the process of fighting the fire.

Even the families of the officials in charge took poison immediately after hearing the news, and no one survived.

Qin law was harsh, and when things got so serious, they all knew they were doomed, and committing suicide would save them some pain.

As for the Mohist thieves who were searching the city...

What's the point of searching for something that doesn't exist? At most, I could kill a few hundred people who wanted to take advantage of the situation, but I couldn't find a single Mohist person.

No matter how furious Ying Zheng was about this result, he chopped off the heads of more than a dozen city-defending generals and spy leaders in one breath to vent his anger, but things that do not exist do not exist, and no one can make them appear out of thin air.

In other words, Ying Zheng had no choice but to swallow this huge loss and could not spit it out no matter what.

Just when Ying Zheng was about to go crazy with anger, worse news came.

The granary near the city was also burned.

The technique was identical, and out of nowhere, it caught fire. Not a soul could be seen, only a single, blazing line of trash blaring in the sky—the new leader of the Mohist school, Ghost Face, presents! Congratulations to the First Emperor of Qin! Long live the emperor!

Mohism! Mohism! The Mohism again! And this new leader, Ghost Face!!!!

Who on earth is he! Who on earth is he! How did he do all this! ! ! ! !

No one could answer this question. Even if Ying Zheng dispatched all his spies, he could not find any trace of this "Ghost Face".

The reason is very simple. Chen Hui never used any of Mohist resources from beginning to end.

Intelligence is gathered through the ability of the skinchanger, infiltration is done through the superior performance of the Iron Blood Armor, and burning is done with the dragon flame in one's body.

No external things are needed, no traces will be exposed, and there is no point for spies to find anything.

As for the other trump card in Ying Zheng's hand, it is the astrological deduction ability of the Yin-Yang School.

I'm sorry, Chen Hui is the emperor of the new dynasty chosen by heaven. He is protected by heaven. Trying to calculate his whereabouts is seeking death.

Because Ying Zheng urged her too hastily, the Moon Goddess who forced the deduction was almost retaliated by destiny. If it weren't for Donghuang Taiyi guarding her, this woman would have been dead or disabled.

She's lucky.

After this incident, both the Moon Goddess and Donghuang Taiyi understood that this 'Ghost Face' had a special fate, was blessed by heaven, could not be explored or predicted, and anyone who violated it would be punished by heaven.

So, Emperor Qin Shi Huang had no other options.

All means have been exhausted, but no intelligence can be found.

Even because the Mohists had stopped attacking the Qin army's logistics and food supplies, they couldn't even infer the true identity of "Ghost Face" from the missing person.

In response, Chen Hui said, otherwise why would I specifically tell you not to launch sneak attacks again? Wasn’t it just to prevent you from finding out who suddenly disappeared?

Could it be that Chen Hui is really kind-hearted and wants to make sure all the Qin troops have enough to eat?

Think too much.

After a stalemate of more than half a month and the reduction of more than a dozen granaries to ashes, even the mighty Qin Shi Huang could no longer bear the immense pressure of millions of Qin people being left without food and clothing, and ordered all Qin troops besieging the Mohist Mechanical City to withdraw.

Ying Zheng admitted defeat! This was the first time he had admitted defeat since unifying the world!

The god shed blood! The mortal body within the halo was exposed to the world for the first time!

Everyone in the world understood that from this moment on, Ying Zheng was no longer a god!

He is just a human being with flesh and blood who can be hurt and defeated!

The moment the altar begins to collapse, the Qin Empire will surely come to an end earlier than history!

Chen Hui won this duel!

What a beautiful win!

Therefore, when the figure of the giant 'Ghost Face' reappeared in the Mo family's mechanical city, everyone knelt at his feet and expressed their obedience to him with sincerity.

Even Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie were no exception.

Because everyone has already understood that if there is still one person in this world who can defeat Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng, that person must be Chen Hui.

He is the one sent by God, Ying Zheng's biggest nemesis!
