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

"."

Meng Tian fell silent again for a moment after hearing this. He suddenly closed his eyes, looked up to the sky and sighed. Then he bowed heavily to Chen Hui and said in a deep voice, word by word: "Your servant Meng Tian, ​​I pay my respects to my lord!"

"Don't use the name Meng Tian for now; it's too conspicuous. At least until the Qin State falls, you can be my cousin Yi Xiaochuan and be called 'Yi Yi'."

As he spoke, Chen Hui tossed a package to Meng Tian and said calmly, "Open it and take a look, Brother Yi."

Meng Tian opened the package as instructed and found a mask with ripple patterns on it, a scroll, and a small box.

"Many people recognize your face. Wear a mask from now on." Chen Hui smiled slightly and said, "The scroll contains a brand new method of training soldiers. I hope you can make it a reality."

"As for what's inside the box, it's the token of your future identity. Remember not to lose it."

Meng Tian picked up the mask and looked at it for a few times, then reached out to open the scroll. He was immediately attracted by the military training method called "Beiwei Army" recorded in it.

Next, Meng Tian couldn't help but clap his hands in admiration, feeling that this was definitely a rare military genius who could come up with such a method of training troops, which was definitely better than his original "Golden Fire Cavalry".

Chen Hui said that this is nonsense. The "Golden Fire Cavalry" is just a fictional army in the anime, and the "Beiwei Army" is one of the five most powerful armies in ancient China.

There is a qualitative difference between the two.

After greedily reading the training methods of the Beiwei Army several times, Meng Tian reluctantly put down the scroll and picked up the box to open it.

Then, Meng Tian was stunned.

Completely stunned!

There was no other reason, just because he was so familiar with the things in the box, so familiar!

This is a tiger-shaped jade pendant! It is a treasure passed down through generations in their Meng family!

This was originally supposed to be worn by his biological brother, Meng Yi, who had gone missing in childhood!

Wait! Yi Yi!? Meng Yi!? Could it be

"you."

"Don't ask." Chen Hui stared out the window calmly and said quietly, "Brother Yi, don't ask anything."

"Because I won't answer you, understand?"

"My name is Yi Xiaochuan."

"..." After carefully examining Chen Hui's appearance, he found that he could actually see the appearance of his former biological brother. Meng Tian's heart, which had been traumatized all day, suddenly flowed with a warm torrent. He unconsciously shed tears again and nodded heavily, "I understand! Brother Yi."

Then, silence returned to the carriage, and no sound was heard again.

Regarding the act of impersonating Meng Yi, Chen Hui said he was helpless and could only say that it was just a coincidence.

Earlier, when Meng Tian was unconscious, Chen Hui, out of curiosity, used the secret technique of Yin and Yang to search his mind and found the memory of his younger brother Meng Yi.

All I can say is that this is a mixed world of "Qin Dynasty" and "Mythology". The Meng Yi in this world was actually lost since childhood, and he looks 70% to 80% similar to Yi Xiaochuan, even their ages match.

It's no wonder that in the "myth" world, Meng Tian determined that Yi Xiaochuan was his biological brother based on a tiger-shaped mark, because it was such a coincidence.

If this happened in a TV series, such a thing would be 100% necessary for the plot; but if it happened in the real world, Chen Hui could not find any other reason except that it was fate.

So, this is all we can do.

Although it is impossible to personally admit such a fabricated and ridiculous thing, it is still possible to give Meng Tian a slight hint and an ambiguous answer.

Anyway, Chen Hui has never personally admitted that he is Meng Yi, nor has he deceived Meng Tian's feelings. As for what this guy is thinking, that is Meng Tian's own business. Chen Hui said that he can't care so much.

The reason for doing this deliberately is that in the original plot of the "Myth" world, it was Meng Tian who helped Yi Xiaochuan and gave him the status of the top noble of the Qin Dynasty. This led to so many cheating plots later, helping Yi Xiaochuan to turn danger into safety and turn disaster into blessing.

Now it's Chen Hui's turn. Just as he's repaying the favor for Yi Xiaochuan, he'll help Meng Tian and grant him the status of a top noble in the new dynasty.

Every peck and every drink has a certain number.

Yi Xiaochuan paid the price for his protagonist halo, so it is up to Chen Hui, the tasker, to help him pay off his debts one by one.

Payment and goods are exchanged, fair trade; this is Chen Hui's life motto.

General Meng Tian, ​​this time, no one owes anyone anything.

It's up to you to decide how to go down this road.

Chapter 89: Hu Hai's Divine Operations: A Wonder in Human History (Please Customize)

It was almost the same as history. After forging an imperial edict and killing the eldest prince Fusu, the only threat, Hu Hai, who had already taken control of the overall situation, returned to Xianyang at full speed with the support of Li Si and the real Zhao Gao.

As long as the eighteenth prince Hu Hai could return to Xianyang City before the news of Ying Zheng's death spread, holding the imperial edict, he would be the second emperor of Qin, and no one would be able to threaten his position anymore.

As for how to conceal the truth... It's simple, just like in history, just put Ying Zheng's body and salted fish in the same room to cover up the stench emanating from the dead body.

All I can say is that some things are truly destined, and Emperor Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng could not escape this fate no matter what.

The more glorious you are when you are alive, the more miserable you will be after you die.

Heaven and hell are really only a thin line apart.

After two months of marching with the entire Qin Emperor's huge ceremonial team, Hu Hai finally returned to the long-awaited Xianyang City. He immediately announced the news of the Qin Emperor Ying Zheng's death to the world, and according to the will that had been tampered with by Li Si and Zhao Gao, he officially succeeded to the throne and became the second emperor of the Qin Empire - Qin Ershi.

Then, a brutal and almost crazy massacre began.

No one knows where the hatred and resentment came from, but Qin II Hu Hai actually executed all the children left by Ying Zheng in public for the crime of deceiving the emperor, leaving not a single one alive.

There really wasn't a single one left!

If it was just because Hu Hai came to power illegitimately and was worried that these brothers might threaten his position, so he killed them all in one fell swoop, then Chen Hui could still understand it.

But what about the princesses? This isn't the Game of Thrones universe; women don't have inheritance rights and can't threaten Hu Hai's position.

Why were these precious children of our compatriot blood dragged into the downtown area and tortured to death in public? What was the purpose of this?

Chen Hui couldn't understand it, he couldn't understand it no matter what. Even the historians of later generations might be confused and shake their heads at Hu Hai's such a cruel and inhumane behavior.

After all, even if it is really a last resort, we must eradicate the roots. Poisoned wine and white silk can do anything. Do we have to let them die so tragically and without dignity?

These people are all Hu Hai’s brothers and sisters, his blood relatives!

Even if we take 10,000 steps back, no! Even if we take 100 million steps back! We should at least leave some room for maneuver!

In response to this, Chen Hui could only say that it might really be like the old saying goes: in this world, the thing that cannot be looked directly at, besides the sun, is the human heart.

The evil in human hearts is truly unfathomable!

As for resistance, that was all nonsense. In order to maintain absolute authority, Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng concentrated all power in himself and did not give any to the Ying clan. As a result, when Qin Er Shi committed evil deeds, the royal relatives could only watch helplessly and had no ability to stop him.

And this is the biggest drawback of the unified structure.

When all power is concentrated in one person, if this ruler is not worthy of the position, the damage caused is truly horrific and unimaginable.

As for the court officials, when King Ying Zheng of Qin expelled Queen Mother Zhao Ji, he killed twenty-seven ministers who tried to persuade him in one breath. Finally, he temporarily calmed his wrath under the advice of Mao Jiao.

Now it is Qin II, whose ability is not even one-tenth of that of Ying Zheng. If anyone dares to stop Hu Hai from killing people, I am afraid that even if the entire court is cleared out, it will not be possible.

After all, after decades of being dominated by Qin Shi Huang, the remaining court officials have basically been PUA'd into loyal dogs that can only bark.

After all, Qin Shi Huang was not the Heavenly Khan Li Shimin, and he did not have a reputation for being humble and accepting advice.

Even Li Si, the current head of all officials, the passionate young man who once wrote the famous "The Memorial on the Repulsion of Aliens", has now become a shameless villain who only knows how to flatter and forget his principles when he sees profit.

If the leaders act like this, what role can we expect from other court officials?

Hu Hai was so cruel that he even killed his own brothers and sisters. Whoever dared to offend him at this time would be asking for trouble.

At this time, the biggest wish of those court officials was to reduce their presence as much as possible, so as to avoid being killed by the Qin II who was already bloodthirsty.

Now, the only thing that made these court officials envious and jealous, apart from Zhao Gao and his gang who rose to prominence with the ascension of Qin II, was the Meng family, who had already fled with their family before Hu Hai returned to Xianyang.

That’s right, the Meng family escaped.

They escaped completely, leaving no one behind.

Whether it was the old or young, women and children in Xianyang City, or the young talents serving in the army, they all disappeared mysteriously before Hu Hai returned to Xianyang.

In response to this, Chen Hui said that with Meng Tian's handwritten letter in hand, as long as these people were not really tired of living, they would naturally obey Chen Hui and be packed up and sent to Bashu.

In other words, even if Hu Hai was so angry that his blood vessels burst, he couldn't find anyone from the Meng family to vent his anger.

And this is the benefit of being foresighted, you can always be one step ahead in everything you do.

However, Chen Hui has something to say to these members of the Meng family who escaped. You, Madam Meng, just need to keep an eye on Meng Tian. Why do you keep running over to stare at me from time to time? I, Chen Hui, am a modern man from two thousand years later. I really have nothing to do with your Meng family. Please stop looking at me as if I were your son!

Keep looking! Keep looking! Watch out or I’ll get angry!

I beg you to stop looking at it, okay? I really regret giving the tiger-shaped jade pendant to Meng Tian. How about I take it back now? Just pretend that this never happened.

Looking at Meng Tian, ​​who, despite his varenetian mask, could barely conceal his embarrassment, Chen Hui unhappily threw the latest intelligence from Xianyang at him and sneered, "Hu Hai has gone murderous mad. All the generals who have ever served under you, regardless of their surnames, will be executed along with their entire families for treason. This guy is not a normal person at all; he's a complete mad dog!"

"Speaking of which, did this guy suffer some kind of psychological trauma as a child? Why is he so unreasonable now?"

"How is that possible?" Meng Tian shook his head and put down the information. He said, "Hu Hai is His Majesty's favorite youngest son. He has been the center of everyone's love since he was young. It can be said that except for the position of Crown Prince, Hu Hai has everything he wants. Even the eldest son Fusu can't compare to his treatment."

"Then where does he get such a deep grudge against these brothers and sisters that he must torture them all to death in public?" Chen Hui exclaimed in disbelief. "Doesn't he know that by doing this, he's not only slapping Ying Zheng in the face, but also slapping Hu Hai himself in the face?"

"This..." Meng Tian was speechless after hearing this, and replied hesitantly: "Perhaps, this is the diversity of the human species?"

"Oh my god, Old Yi, where did you learn that theory?" Chen Hui's eyes lit up when he heard that, and he couldn't help but give a thumbs up. "Well said, absolutely well said. I, Yi Xiaochuan, have nothing to lose."

Chapter 90: The Net Begins to Move: The Stern Old Lady Meng (Please Customize)

After sharing a common hatred and scolding the inhuman Qin II Hu Hai, Chen Hui and Meng Tian had an in-depth and concise exchange on the subsequent training of the Bashu army.

A moment later, Xiao He, who was in charge of daily affairs in the general's mansion, suddenly hurried in and handed Chen Hui a letter, saying, "Your Excellency, an urgent letter from Jiji City!"

"Urgent?"

Chen Hui was slightly stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously used the "Green Vision" to scan the surroundings inside and outside the Mechanical City, and found that it was completely calm. How could there be an urgent letter?

Confused, he opened the letter and translated it from the code book. Then, a smile slowly appeared on Chen Hui's lips. He waved at Xiao He, signaling him to leave.

"What's wrong, cousin?" Seeing the extremely ambiguous smile on Chen Hui's face, Meng Tian couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Zhao Gao is a real busy fellow." Chen Hui smiled leisurely upon hearing this, shaking the intelligence in his hand and saying, "Luowang was planning to get a beautiful snake to my side, and now they've delivered it to my door."

"Are you talking about the Nong Clan's new chivalrous leader—Tian Yan?" Chen Hui hadn't concealed the connection between Luo Wang and the Nong Clan from Meng Tian. Meng Tian was now fully aware of Wang Li and Zhao Gao's past misdeeds. Hearing this, he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "To think they could allow a top-notch assassin to ascend to the position of chivalrous leader—Zhao Gao and Luo Wang are truly powerful."

"It must be the Qin State's immense power," Chen Hui shrugged. "If it weren't for the support of the entire empire's resources, Luowang wouldn't have expanded to its current size. It's simply become too powerful now, and it's being countered."

"That's what it means to be self-defeating."

"So what are you going to do, brother?" Meng Tian said worriedly, "Luo Wang is not someone you can easily defeat. You must not be careless."

"When it comes to poison wrapped in sugar, my strategy has always been to eat the sugar coating and throw the poison back." Chen Hui stood up and said, "I have to go back and deal with this matter. I'll leave the land of Bashu to you, brother."

"Okay, then you can go back. I'll take care of Bashu." Meng Tian nodded, then remembered something and said hesitantly, "As for the princess and Ziqing, please pay more attention to them and don't let them suffer any injustice."

"Their names now are Xiaoyue and Yian. How many times do I have to say them before you remember them?" Chen Hui shook his head when he heard that, and then his body suddenly shook and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"My little brother is truly an unrivaled martial artist. Even I can't see clearly what he's doing."

Meng Tian gave a heartfelt compliment, and then he saw his mother, Old Lady Meng, walking slowly towards him, carrying a food box. He quickly stood up and went to greet her, saying, "Mother, why are you here again?"

"Why, as a mother, do I need to greet my son when he comes to see him?" Madam Meng rolled her eyes at Meng Tian, ​​then turned to look at the now empty courtyard and frowned, "Where's Yi'er? Didn't he say he was with you?"

"There's an urgent matter in Jijia City, and I rushed over to handle it." Meng Tian shook his head and said, "Mother, please stop calling your brother Yi'er. Can't you see that he's terrified of meeting you? He must have sworn a solemn oath that he could only be Yi Xiaochuan for the rest of his life, and couldn't resume the name Meng Yi."

"I know Yi'er's current name is Yi Xiaochuan." Madam Meng replied angrily, "Aren't 'Yi' and 'Yi' homophones? I just called him, I didn't write it down. Who can say that I called him 'Yi'er' instead of 'Yi'er'?"

"Besides, even if he changed his name, he didn't crawl out of my belly anymore. What's wrong with me yelling at him?"

"Yes, yes, mother, you are right." Meng Tian nodded and smiled apologetically, "But mother, you must also be careful. Don't forget that my Meng family has a deep connection with the Qin Dynasty. My younger brother is now the backbone of the anti-Qin forces. If others knew that he was actually from our Meng family, it would indeed have a negative impact."

"Daqin? You still call that thing Daqin!" Madam Meng raised her eyebrows and said, "Don't forget what Daqin did to you! And what it did to our Meng family!"

"If it weren't for your brother this time, our entire family would have been buried with Fusu!"

Watching Meng Tian lower his head in silence, Madam Meng angrily shouted, "Three generations of our Meng family have been loyal to the Qin State. How have we failed the Qin Emperor? And yet, we almost ended up with our entire family executed! This is the Great Qin you're talking about!"

"Mom... that was all done by Hu Hai, who forged the imperial edict. It has nothing to do with the First Emperor."

"Isn't Hu Hai the son of Ying Zheng? Wasn't he the one who was spoiled by Ying Zheng? How can you say it's okay?" Old Lady Meng shouted angrily, "If a son is not well-educated, the fault lies with his father! Ying Zheng raised such a bastard, who else should bear the blame if not him?"

Seeing Meng Tian being scolded so hard that he dared not say a word, Madam Meng warned him with deep sorrow: "Tian'er, being loyal to your master is good, but you also have to consider whether the person you are loyal to is worthy of it! What kind of bastard is Qin Er Shi? Don't you know it?"

"Your brother has put so much effort into rescuing our family from danger and has entrusted the entire Bashu army to you. What a trust this is! If you still waver and fail to live up to your brother's trust, I will kill you, this unfilial son, without him even having to do anything!"

"Mother!" Meng Tian quickly turned over and knelt down, touching his head to the ground, and said in panic, "I won't do that. I will definitely help my brother train a large army and seek revenge on Hu Hai!"

"And that Ying Yinman and Ying Ziqing, you better watch out too!" Old Madam Meng barked rudely, "Your brother is willing to take care of them because he has an agreement with Ying Zheng! What will your brother think if you approach them too? Is he still planning on helping Fusu's son rebuild the Qin State?"

"You need to understand the situation. What's about to be attacked is your brother's kingdom, and also our Meng family's kingdom! You don't help your own family, so why would you help outsiders?"
