Chu Huan climbed over the high wall, knowing in his heart that if he killed the son-in-law tonight, it would definitely cause an uproar. The son-in-law is not an ordinary person. Since he was killed, the next capital will definitely be closely searched.

Although he succeeded in one blow, and Chu Huan has always been a brave person, but after jumping over the high wall, Chu Huan still felt a sense of tension in his heart. He just shot to kill, and there was no time for him to think. Thinking of the scene just now, he was somewhat afraid. If Fang Cai didn't succeed, or fell into their hands, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Fortunately, Huang Tinglang was only thinking of Jian. Yin Mrs. Zhou, and he had a quirk of walking in the open air. There were not many guards around him. Otherwise, if he was enjoying himself in the house with all the protection around the house, Chu Huan might not have a chance to succeed.

Chu Huan also understood in his heart that Huang Tinglang was so unscrupulous, obviously because of his previous experience. In this yard, he did not know how many good women and wives he raped.

After killing the son-in-law, although Chu Huan felt a little nervous, he was more happy. He couldn't stay here any longer, and quickly retreated along the alley.

When Huang Tinglang was killed, the group of guards around him would naturally not let it go, they would definitely chase after him. He was not familiar with the streets and alleys, so he had to turn back the same way.

Those guards were really not good at it. Chu Huan soon heard footsteps behind him, and the speed of the guards' pursuit was not slow.

Like a ghost in the dark night, Chu Huan turned to an intersection, when a voice suddenly came from beside him, "This way!"

Chu Huan was taken aback, and turned his head, but saw a person waving to him in the street on the left. Looking at the figure of that person, Chu Huan immediately recognized that it was Pei Ji who had suddenly disappeared earlier.

As the pursuers approached behind him, Chu Huan's figure flashed and swayed in. Pei Ji didn't say much, but said, "Follow me." After a few steps, he turned into a small alley. The alley was very dark and completely dark. Not long after entering the alley, a chasing guard stopped at the entrance of the alley. In the alley?"

"You two go in and have a look!"

Two guards carefully entered the alley with their knives. The alley was not long, and it was very narrow. It could only accommodate one person. It was like a sheep's intestines. After walking for a while, there was a wall in front of it, but it was a dead end. , there was no sign of anyone, so the two turned back and said: "There is no one inside, they must have run forward, chase after them."

A group of guards left quickly, and when the sound of footsteps went away, two people fell from above, but it was Chu Huan and Pei Ji who propped their limbs between the two walls and hid in the air. It was so blurry that it was hard to see clearly, but Chu Huan and Pei Ji avoided it.

After landing, Pei Ji walked to the entrance of the alley, looked left and right, and waved to Chu Huan. The two of them left the alley and turned back. Chu Huan just felt like walking through a maze. Before he knew it, he came to a street, and Chu Huan felt a little familiar. Only then did he realize that he had returned to Baitongfang.

The two of them didn't speak during the whole trip. When they returned to the wooden house, Pei Ji lit the lamp and looked at the bed. His expression changed immediately. The bed was empty. It stands to reason that Qin Lei should be sleeping on the bed right now.

"Brother Pei, what happened?"

"Lei'er is gone." Pei Ji said solemnly, "I'm going to look for him." He was about to go out, but the wooden door was pushed open, and they both clenched their fists at the same time, only to see Qin Lei walking in lightly.

Pei Ji frowned and said, "Where have you been?"

Qin Lei didn't speak, just smiled innocently, Chu Huan's eyes were sharp, he saw several bloodstains on Qin Lei's chest, and asked in surprise: "Lei'er, what's wrong with you?"

Pei Ji had already seen it, so he hurried forward and asked, "Where did the blood come from?"

"The blood of the bad guys." Qin Lei said with a chuckle: "I was following you and saw a man chasing you and stopped him. It was his blood."

Pei Ji and Chu Huan looked at each other in surprise.

Pei Ji walked to the door and looked out. The road outside was dead silent, the night was quiet and there was no sound. Then he heaved a sigh of relief, closed the wooden door, asked Qin Lei to take off his coat, and changed into new clothes. Qin Lei Putting on his clothes, he yawned, seemed very sleepy, ran to the bed and lay down, only for a moment, there was a snoring sound.

After the two sat down, Chu Huan looked at Pei Ji, and Pei Ji looked at Chu Huan without speaking. After a while, both of them smiled. Chu Huan took the lead and said, "Brother Pei can't sleep at night?"

Pei Ji also smiled and said, "Brother Chu likes to go shopping at night?"

"Actually... I was planning to drink with Brother Pei, but when I came, Brother Pei was not in the room." Chu Huan laughed.

Pei Ji smiled and said, "Go out and see a friend."

"Light a fire by the way?" Chu Huan asked abruptly.

Pei Ji was not surprised, but just smiled and said, "For a woman, if she falls into their hands and loses her bright future, do Brother Chu think it's worth it?"

Chu Huan knew that Pei Ji was no longer a joke, but he smiled nonchalantly, "People are always bloody, and when the bloody surges up, sometimes even I can't control myself."

Pei Ji sighed: "I've been impulsive too. In fact, sometimes when I think about it, even if I really kill one or two evil people, it's just a trivial matter, and it won't shake the foundation at all, and there are too many people like this. , You can’t kill them all.” After a pause, he smiled and said, “But as the old saying goes, if you don’t sweep a room, how can you sweep the world? It’s always good to be bloody.”

Chu Huan knew that there was something in Pei Ji's words, so he smiled and didn't say much.

"What happened tonight was originally my job." Pei Ji said frankly, "It's just that I didn't expect Brother Chu to come to me."

Chu Huan asked: "Brother Pei knows that I have been following you?"

Pei Ji nodded and said with a smile: "God is actually very fair. If you take something from you, he will give you another thing. He made me lame a leg, but gave me a pair of good ears...!" With a faint smile, he said : "I can naturally hear the movement that ordinary people can hear, and sometimes I can hear the sound that ordinary people cannot hear."

Chu Huan said: "So, brother Pei deliberately brought me to the house of that secretary?"

Pei Ji smiled and said, "Brother Chu can return at any time, I didn't ask you to follow."

Chu Huan laughed and said, "My little brother is taking the liberty."

"Brother Chu is a man of loyalty, and I see it tonight." Pei Ji said, "To tell you the truth, I already inquired about Zhou Liao's house yesterday, and staring at Zhou Liao's house, I can naturally follow Huang Tinglang's. Private house, if brother Chu didn't follow today, I must be the one who killed that beast today."

Chu Huan said: "It's hard to think that Big Brother Pei will have such skills."

Pei Ji smiled lightly and said: "Brother Chu, you have blood and martial arts. A person like you will not worry about having no future." But there are many differences. My youthful ambition was to fight across the battlefield with passion and bring peace to the common people. It’s just that I was young at that time, and I was just a beginner in military strategy. At that time, I felt both joy and regret.”

Chu Huan said: "Brother Pei is happy that the world is finally peaceful, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment. It's a pity that all the knowledge you have learned is useless."

Pei Ji's few words made Chu Huan vaguely understand that the cripple in front of him must be a man of great talent.

Pei Ji smiled and said: "I am also a body of flesh and blood. Some people have emotions and desires, and learning is useless. I always feel a little uncomfortable. It's just that after the establishment of the country, the world gradually became peaceful. When I saw the people living in peace, the regret in my heart slowed down." Slowly disappear, from now on learning the art of war is not for being useful, but just for fun.”

Chu Huan said: "My little brother heard a saying that planting flowers with intention will not succeed, but planting willows and willows will make shade without intention. If you learn something for a purpose, the progress may not be fast. If you learn by nature, you will progress by leaps and bounds, and you will have other insights."

"Well said." Chu Huan's words obviously appealed to Pei Ji's appetite, and he clapped his hands and said, "It's really wonderful to learn four characters according to your nature. To tell you the truth, brother, before the founding of the country, learning military art was just a stick drum Se, sticking to the marching formation in the book, although I also feel that Wuhou's book of war and Sun Tzu's art of war are extremely mysterious, but I just followed the way of the predecessors, although I had a feeling at that time, I always felt something was wrong."

Chu Huan also seemed to be quite interested in the art of war. He knew that Pei Ji was proficient in the art of war, and he suddenly became alert. He completely forgot that the two had just assassinated Huang Tinglang, his son-in-law. He leaned forward slightly and asked, "" how do I say this?"

When Pei Ji talked about the art of war, he was quite chatty, saying: "At that time, I didn't know what was wrong. It was just a feeling, and I was always looking for answers. After the founding of the country, I began to travel around the world and saw my Great Qin Empire. I also sincerely seek the teachings of famous teachers, after seeing the topography of great mountains and rivers, and listening to the explanations of those famous teachers, I finally found the answer I have been looking for for a long time."

Chu Huan said sincerely: "I also ask Brother Pei for advice."

"I have studied the art of war for many years, and I have memorized the art of war of my predecessors, but I always feel that there is something incomplete. It was not until a few years ago that I finally understood that the true essence of the art of war is not in the book, but in the heart." Pei Pei Ji slowly said: "The purpose of the military books left by the predecessors is not to allow future generations to follow the rules. They just pass on the experience of military arts for future generations to learn from. When future generations read military books, they should not just read military books, but to learn from them. From the handwriting of the book of war, one can see the true meaning hidden behind the book of war.”

Chu Huan listened solemnly.

"It's better to have no soldiers than to talk about them on paper." Pei Ji's eyes lit up: "The real art of war is never really recorded in the books of war, but all generals who command troops will more or less study the books of war. In combat, both the enemy and our generals know it well, there is no secret at all, and there is no advantage at all, so I gradually understand that the true essence of the art of war is actually only two words."

"Which two words?"

"Impermanence!" Pei Ji said solemnly: "Soldiers are impermanent, people are impermanent, the way to use soldiers, ghosts and gods are unpredictable, mysteries are ever-changing, all in impermanence!"
