Wei Liao was not mistaken, the two people he found, the child and this young man, had inherited the legacy of the art of deception. However, Wei Liao did something very dishonest, he did not let Han Xin and Chen Ping know of each other's existence.

The origin of the art of deception was too early, and there were traces of it being spread around even before Spring and Autumn. On the other hand, the disciples of the art of deception never showed themselves as disciples of the art of deception, but instead relied on other theories to become grand masters.

The world was filled with good yang and evil, the art of deception was a sect that followed the way of the void, and its position was far inferior to the theories of the hundreds of families at that time. Chen Ping quickly understood this point from the knowledge that Wei Liao taught him.

Wei Liao had told him before that everyone in the world believed that the balance of Yin and Yang blended together, so this logic was wrong. Outside of the Ninth Heaven, it was even wider. Even the sun was only a firefly; the void and the cold were the true paths. There were ten levels below, and the abyss was below. The endless darkness was vast.

Chen Ping immediately understood that what governed this world was darkness and cold. It was just that no one saw this truth. He would rather believe in the insignificant light right now.

This was the reason why the theories of the art of deception were never accepted by other scholars.

Chen Ping was talented and knowledgeable. Wei Liao had taught him "Conspiracy, Transfiguration, Shapeshift, Surprise, and the Way of the Gods and Demons". These few Pure Yin techniques were a conspiracy.

Chen Ping had used his entire life's knowledge to understand and learn this, and had even thought that he could completely master the art of conspiracy. However, he had never expected that Wei Liao would only teach him half of it.

The other half was named "Heaven and Earth Wind, Thunder, Water, Fire, Stone, Bamboo, Beast, Cloud, and Rain, Spirit Demons", and the 19th Dao theory. They were plotting for the sect, Wei Liao had purposely concealed the method of plotting, because before teaching Chen Ping, he had already passed the plotting to the Korean clansman who was playing chess by the river.

The art of deception's methods of plotting were applicable to military strategies. And the deduction of Chinese military strategy is based on a game. A game between scholars.

— A game of chess.

In ancient times, tribal wars were chaotic, and the armies of the lords never stopped. In order to calm down the conflict, the Great Sage had invented a game of chess. He used seven different games as the world, while he used black and white as the weapons. He planned to turn the war into a game of chess. This was the thought of the Great Yao Empire. It was to reconcile the conflicts between the tribal leaders. However, this method did not achieve Big Dipper's goal. The tribes continued to be at war and did not put the war on the board.

Danzhu, Dazhu's son, could not control the battle between the leaders of the tribes. He could only flee with the help of a chess game. Then he disappeared, but Danchu passed on the chess game to his descendants.

Time flowed on in a vicissitudes of life. In the world of the Nine Prefectures, the chess game had also evolved into nine pillars. The Spring and Autumn War Kingdom's dukes had been split, and Danzhu's chess game had also been slowly developed by the dukes and generals into thirteen. In the late Warring States period, the number of chess players had once again increased to seventeen, depending on the trend of the world. At the time, thirteen chess games were in the mainstream, and seventeen chess games were already popular among experts.

Countless experts and successors of Danzhu's theory had become aides hidden behind the general's back. They were using this simple and unsophisticated game to deduce the direction of the war and plot. Chess was passed around in Danzhu's hands. This game, which was supposed to solve the problem of war, became an adjunct to war, a demonstration of military strategy. It was the complete opposite of Big Yao's original intention.

And Han Xin, a child, was able to play chess seventeen times by the river. No matter what, Wei Liao would not let this successor go. Furthermore, he taught Han Xin to advance on the seventeen dao, and added two gods and two ghosts. Han Xin still needed time. When the Under Heaven Clan's leader appeared, Han Xin's military strategy would be able to assist the leader and rule the world.

This was the promise between Wei Liao and Wei Liao, to find the chess piece that laid down the prefectural empire. As for the other person, Lee Si, he was still struggling in the Qin Empire. was a grandmaster of the law family, and the purpose of the law family was to govern the country, so it could not be passed on to the common people. This was the reason why Lee Si did not leave Xianyang, but Wei Zhe and Wei Liao were able to find their successors and bring them into the world.

In the year of Qin II, Lee Si's worries had finally come to fruition. Chen Li and Da Ze Country had risen to prominence and had established themselves as the kings. The Qin Empire began to crumble. The state system of the county was shaken by the uprising of the peasants.

In the year of Qin Er, Lee Si had been captured by Zhao Gao and had been cut down at the middle of the city in Xianyang. The country's first county-level empire had thus perished. The descendants of the nobles of the Warring States, one by one, began their activities, recruiting soldiers and horses, hoping to return to the feudal system and continue the traditional ancestral system of the Zhou Dynasty.

It was time for Wei Liao's successor, Chen Ping Zhang Liang to appear on stage. But they still had a long way to go, and this was because Wei Liao had misjudged the situation.

This situation stems from an oracle:

"Even though there are three clans in Chu, Qin Bishu is dead."

Whether it was Wei Zhe or Wei Liao, they believed that the power that could counterattack Qin State was none other than Chu State. And among the descendants of Chu State, Xiang Yan was the strongest.

Wei Liao told Han Xin and Chen Ping that once the world was in chaos, their co-owner would come out of nowhere.

However, that person was definitely not Zhang Chu Li.

— Xiang Liang, the person who presided over the funeral.

Xiang Liang had fled to Wu Zhong with his family because he had killed someone. Xiang Liang was a descendant of a Chu State noble, the youngest son of the great general, Xiang Yan. Xiang Liang had hidden his name in Wu Zhong, but he had done one thing in particular, he was hosting the funeral.

Xiang Liang was most adept at "asking questions" and "passing down information".

These two abilities originated from the 'Rites of Rites'. According to the theory, it should belong to the Confucian school and originated from the 'Rites of Rites'. They specifically described the rules and details of the funeral. The Confucian clan was far from the technique of the Ghost God. It wasn't good for the Wugui Family, but these two things recorded the path of the Ghost God in detail.

According to the rules stated by Pei-Wen and Wen Jiu, Xiang Liang understood the method of dealing with ghosts and gods at the funeral. He could be considered to have comprehended the Dao of the Kun. This was an extraordinary matter. On the other hand, Xiang Liang was a great general of the Chu State. Even in his generation, he was still skilled in the art of war, and it was a path that allowed him to master the art of war.

At that time, Wei Zhe and Lee Si both believed that the person who had destroyed Qin State was definitely Xiang Yan's descendant. Although they were both Grandmasters of their own guilds, there were still times where they made mistakes. This mistake had caused Wei Liao's successors to take many detours.

The mistake was clear enough in history, but before history was finished, everything was filled with this variable, this variable, in Peixian.

In a rich city of Pei County, Liu Ji and his bros were discussing things. What they wanted to talk about was a common topic at the time. That was rebellion.

The matter was as such, Chen Li had already started the operation to proclaim himself as the King of Chu, and the entire world was responding to his actions, killing the Chief Executive of the various places and starting a rebellion. The Pei prefecture was also about to make a move. They ordered their subordinates, Xiao Hee Cao Can, to gather their troops in the city to fight against Chen Li's allied army. Xiao Hee and Cao Can immediately thought of one person, and that was Liu Ji, whom they had always thought had the spirit of loyalty, who could answer to all calls. Thus, the two of them immediately called over Fan Tuo, who was the one who slaughtered the dogs in the city, and told him to immediately notify Liu Ji and let Liu Ji lead the bros he messed around with to deal with the chores.

At this time, Xiao Hee and Cao Can definitely did not expect that this decision of theirs would actually change the course of history. Liu Ji, the head of the Sishui Pavilion, was already forty-eight years old, an old rogue who produced nothing everyday. However, he was a straightforward person, and the idle youths all liked to mingle with him. Thus, he had a bunch of followers by his side. Furthermore, he had a good relationship with Xiao Hee, Cao Can Fan Qi.

Hence, Cao Can and Xiao Hee immediately thought of this person. When Liu Ji received the news, he immediately led his hundreds of subordinates outside the Pei County City, but when Pei Ling saw the people outside the city, he was afraid that they had already sided with Chen Ting, and what troubled him even more was that he thought that Xiao Hee and Cao Can, who had called Liu Ji, might already be preparing to rely on the rebel army. Hence, he immediately shut the city gate, preventing Liu Ji and his subordinates from entering the city.

Liu Ji was stunned, he had originally brought people to fight with Chen Qi's army, but he did not understand why he was imprisoned outside the city.

The officials in the city firmly believed that Liu Ji had rebelled, so they pursued Xiao Hee and Cao Can. The atmosphere was tense, seeing that the two of them were about to lose their lives. Xiao Hee and High Priest Cao were afraid, so they took advantage of their hesitation to jump over the wall from the city wall and arrived at Liu Ji's side. Tell Pei Ling that Liu Ji is already considered as a rebel and inform the Qin Army to come over to destroy him.

Liu Ji had been wrongly accused. He had only wanted to deal with the rebel army under Chen Qi, but before he could even fight, he had already become a rebel.

As a result, a few older people came together to discuss. Then, they might as well go against the plan. If they wanted to rebel, they would need a leader, and at that time, Xiao Hee's position was higher than Cao Can, so everyone wanted to recommend Cao Can, but Cao Can did not agree, and after recommending Xiao Hee, Xiao Hee also did not agree.

The two of them disagreed because they were afraid that the Qin army would sweep the world, and they had witnessed it with their own eyes. Although he had been turned into a traitor, he would not punish anyone in law. If the Qin were to come, then as long as he was not the leader of the rebels, he might not be killed. Even if it was a capital offense, it would not implicate his family. This was what Xiao Hee and Cao Can had in mind.

If the two of them were not willing to be the leader, then it would have to be Liu Ji. Liu Ji was rather generous, for the first time in his life, he brought a few hundred people to stand together with him. Thus, Liu Ji immediately agreed and personally led the team.

This was the place that Wei Zhe and Wei Liao did not expect. No matter what happened, something uncontrollable happened. For example, this heartless rascal from the prefectural city of Pei. It led history in an unexpected direction.
