Chapter 317 The Essentials of Soldiers

Chu Huan climbed over the high wall and knew in his heart that killing the prince-consort tonight would definitely cause an uproar. The prince-consort is not an ordinary person. Since he was killed, the next capital city will definitely launch a rigorous search.

Although he succeeded in one blow, and Chu Huan has always been a brave person, after leaping over the high wall, Chu Huan still felt a sense of tension in his heart. He just killed someone and had no time to leave room for him to think. When he succeeded at this time, he was a little scared when he thought about the scene just now. If he didn't succeed just now, or if he fell into their hands, the consequences would be really unimaginable.

Fortunately, Huang Tinglang was thinking about traitor and lustful Mrs. Zhou, and he had the quirk of lustfulness in the open air. He didn't have many guards around him. Otherwise, if he was having fun in the house and protecting the house around him, Chu Huan might not have the chance to succeed.

Chu Huan also understood in her heart that Huang Tinglang was so unscrupulous, obviously because he had a lot of experience before. In this yard, he didn't know how many good women and women were raped by him.

Although Chu Huan felt a little nervous when he killed the prince-consort, he felt more happy. He could not stay here for a long time and retreated quickly along the alley.

When Huang Tinglang was killed, the group of guards around him would naturally not give up and would definitely chase him. He was not familiar with this street and alley, so he could only turn back according to the same path.

Those guards were indeed not good at it. Chu Huan soon heard footsteps coming from behind, and the speed of chasing the guards was not slow.

Chu Huan was like a ghost in the dark night. He turned to an intersection. Suddenly, a voice came from beside him and said, "This is the place!"

Chu Huan was shocked and turned around, but saw a man waving to him in the streets and alleys on the left. Looking at the figure of the man, Chu Huan immediately recognized that it was Pei Ji who had suddenly disappeared before.

The pursuers behind him were approaching, and Chu Huan flashed and shook in. Pei Ji didn't say much, just said, "Come with me." Although he was lame, his movements were really slow. He walked forward a few steps and turned into an alley. The alley was very dark and dark. Not long after entering the alley, a chasing guard stopped at the entrance of the alley. Someone had already said, "Can you be in this alley?"

"You two go in and have a look!"

The two guards carefully entered the alley with their swords. The alley was not long and very narrow, and could only allow one person to move forward. They walked out for a while, and there was a wall in front of them, but there was a dead end with no trace. Then the two turned back and said, "There must be no one inside, so they must have run forward, chased."

The guards quickly left, and when the footsteps went far away, two people fell from above, but Chu Huan and Pei Ji were standing between the two walls and hiding in the air. The guards didn't pay attention to it just now, and it was dark and difficult to see clearly, but Chu Huan and Pei Ji avoided it.

After landing, Pei Ji walked to the entrance of the alley, looked around, and waved to Chu Huan. The two of them left the alley and turned back. Pei Ji was very familiar with the road here. He picked up remote alleys. Chu Huan felt like he was walking in a maze. Before he knew it, he arrived on a street. Chu Huan felt a little familiar, and then he realized that he had returned to Baitongfang.

Both of them didn't speak all the way. When they returned to the wooden house, Pei Ji lit the lights and looked at the bed. His face changed immediately, and the bed was empty. Logically, Qin Lei should have been sleeping in the bed at this time.

"Brother Pei, what happened?"

"Lei'er is gone." Pei Ji looked solemn: "I'll go find him." He was about to go out, but the wooden door was pushed open. Both of them clenched their fists at the same time, but they saw Qin Lei walking in with slight hands.

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

Qin Lei didn't speak, just smiled foolishly, Chu Huan's eyes were sharp, and saw a few bloodstains on Qin Lei's chest, and said in surprise: "Lei'er, what's wrong with you?"

Pei Ji had already seen it, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Where did this blood come from?"

"The blood of the bad guy." Qin Lei laughed and said, "I followed you and saw someone chasing you and stopping him. It was his blood."

Pei Ji and Chu Huan looked at each other and both looked surprised.

Pei Ji walked to the door and looked out. The road outside was as quiet as death. It was late at night and there was no sound. Then he breathed a sigh of relief. He closed the wooden door and asked Qin Lei to take off his coat and change it again. Qin Lei put on his clothes and yawned, as if he was sleepy. He ran to the bed and lay down, and snoring sounded for a moment.

After the two of them sat down, Chu Huan looked at Pei Ji. Pei Ji looked at Chu Huan and didn't say anything. After a moment, 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 walk around at night?"

"Actually... I was going to ask Brother Pei to drink, but when I came, Brother Pei was not in the house." Chu Huan smiled.

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

"By the way, I lit a fire?" Chu Huan asked suddenly.

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

Chu Huan knew that Pei Ji was no longer insincere, but he smiled as if nothing had happened on his face: "People always have blood. Once the blood rises, sometimes they can't even control themselves."

Pei Ji sighed, "I've been impulsive, but sometimes I think about it. Even if I really kill one or two evil people, it's just a small fight and can't shake the foundation. Moreover, there are too many such people and I can't kill them." After a pause, he smiled and said, "But the old saying goes well. If you don't clean a room, how can you clean the world? You're always good with blood."

Chu Huan knew that Pei Ji had something in his words, so he smiled, but didn't say much.

"I was going to do what tonight." Pei Ji confessed: "But I didn't expect Brother Chu to come to me."

Chu Huan asked, "Brother Pei knows I've been following you all the time?"

Pei Ji nodded and smiled and said, "God is actually very fair. If you take something, you will also give you something. He made me lame with one leg, but gave me a pair of good ears..." He smiled faintly and said, "I can naturally hear the movements that ordinary people can hear, and I can sometimes hear the sounds that ordinary people cannot hear."

Chu Huan said: "In this way, Brother Pei intends to bring me to the secretary's house?"

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

Chu Huan laughed and said, "It's my brother who took the liberty."

"Brother Chu is loyal, I see it tonight." Pei Ji said: "To be honest, I had already found out about Zhou Liao's house yesterday. I stared at Zhou Liao's house and naturally could follow Huang Tinglang's private house. If Brother Chu hadn't followed him today, I would have killed that beast today."

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

Pei Ji smiled faintly and said, "Brother Chu, you are bloody and martial arts. People like you will not have any future." After a pause, he said slowly, "While men have to make a difference in their lives, the roads are very different. My ambition for youth is to give the people a peaceful world with a passionate and battlefield. However, at that time, I was young and had just learned military strategies. I had not yet learned it. Now the emperor has pacified the world and unified the world. At that time, I was both happy and regretful."

Chu Huan said: "Brother Pei is happy that the world is finally peaceful and that the people can live and work in peace. Unfortunately, what they have learned is useless."

Pei Ji's few short words made Chu Huan vaguely understand that the cripple in front of him must be a talented person.

Pei Ji smiled and said, "I am also a flesh and blood body. Some people have no use to learn, and I always feel a little uncomfortable. But after the founding of the throne, the world gradually became peaceful. Seeing the people living in peace, the regret in my heart slowly disappeared. After that, I learned military tactics no longer for the purpose of being useful, it was just a pleasure."

Chu Huan said: "I heard someone say that if you are willing to plant flowers, you will not succeed, but if you are unwilling to plant willows and willows, you may not make any progress quickly. If you study as you want, you will make great progress and have other insights."

"Well said." Chu Huan's words were obviously a great match for Pei Ji's appetite. He clapped his hands and said, "It is really wonderful to learn the four words casually. I'm not to hide it from my brothers. Before the founding of the country, I studied military books, but I just glued to the marching and formations of the books. Although I also thought that the Wuhou military books and Sun Tzu's martial arts were extremely mysterious, they just followed the ways of the predecessors. Although I had insights at that time, I always felt something was wrong."

Chu Huan seemed to be quite interested in military tactics. At this time, he realized that Pei Ji was proficient in military tactics. He suddenly felt energetic and forgot about the incident that the two had just assassinated the prince-consort Huang Tinglang. He leaned forward slightly and asked, "How do you say this?"

Pei Ji talked about military tactics and said, "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, see the mountains, rivers, hills, rivers, and seas of my Great Qin Empire. I sincerely sought teachings from famous teachers, and had seen the terrain of great mountains and rivers. After listening to the explanations of those famous teachers, I finally found the answer I had been looking for for a long time."

Chu Huan said sincerely: "I would like to ask Brother Pei for advice."

"I have been studying military books for many years, and remembering the military strategy and formations of the predecessors and wise men, but I always feel that there are some incomplete things. It was not until a few years ago that I finally understood that the true essence of military strategy is not in the book, but in my heart." Pei Ji said slowly: "The purpose of leaving military books for senior military strategy is by no means to let future generations do their jobs as follows. They are just teaching military skills experiences and let future generations learn from them. Later generations cannot only read military books, but to see the true essence hidden behind military books from the handwriting of military books."

Chu Huan listened solemnly.

"It is better to have no soldiers than to talk about war on paper." Pei Ji's eyes lit up: "The real way of military strategy is actually impossible to truly remember in the military books. Any general who commands a military can study military books. If you follow the strategies of military books to fight, the enemy and our generals know that there is no secret to them, and they will have no advantage at all. So I gradually understand that the true essence of military strategy is actually only two words."

"What two words?"

"Impermanence!" Pei Ji said solemnly: "There is no normal state of soldiers, people are no constant power, the way to use soldiers is unpredictable, ghosts and gods are unpredictable, and all the fantasy changes are all in the impermanence!"
