Chapter 265 Why fight?
The next day.
After waking up, Wei Changtian did not rush to get dressed and get out of bed, but sat on the bed in a daze for a while.
I practiced the Moon-Picking Sword in my dream for a whole night last night. Although I haven't reached the entry level yet, I can already see some clues.
To put it simply, there is indeed some trick to this sword technique.
Wei Changtian couldn't tell the specific difference, but he could indeed vaguely feel the "momentum" contained in the sword technique.
It’s just that this “momentum” feels a bit weird.
The more he practiced, the more Wei Changtian felt it.
It was as if there was a top kendo master invisibly controlling every move and stance he made.
If a child who has never learned martial arts is held by a master and fights with the enemy, even if he wins, can it be said that the child has superb martial arts skills? The same is true for the Moon-Picking Sword.
"I wonder if Qin Zhengqiu feels this way."
"Take some time to write a letter to Old Zhang and ask him."
He muttered a few words quietly, waking up Yuan'er who was sleeping beside him.
The little maid who had been curled up quietly in the quilt rubbed her eyes, and lurched into Wei Changtian's arms, resting her head on his chest and mumbling incoherently.
"Sir, you're awake."
"Um."
Wei Changtian stretched out his hand and pinched Yuan'er's warm face, and said with a smile: "You should sleep for a while longer."
"I won't sleep anymore."
Although Wei Changtian was very considerate, Yuan'er did not forget her duties as a maid. She struggled to open her eyes and put on her clothes first. Then, she ran outside with sleepy eyes to fetch water to help Wei Changtian wash his face and change clothes.
Wei Changtian was a little uncomfortable with this kind of "free food and clothing" treatment when he first traveled through time, but now he has become "contented" and will never say things like "I can do it myself".
If I really told her, Yuan'er might still feel that she had not done something well.
From "everyone is equal" to "respect for hierarchy and order".
It has been nearly a year since the time travel, and it is still unknown whether Wei Changtian’s values have changed, but his behavior has become more and more in line with this world.
"Sir, raise your hand~"
"Sir, is the water temperature suitable?"
"Sir, wipe your face~"
"Sir, breakfast is ready~"
"Sir, would you like another bowl of porridge?"
“.”
After breakfast as usual, Zhang San had prepared the carriage and was waiting outside the door. Wei Changtian took the opportunity to check on Achun's practice before leaving.
This little girl broke through to the eighth level a few days ago. If she continues to develop at this speed, it will be just around the corner for her to surpass her master Wei Changtian.
"Heh~ Have you ever had any questions during your training these past few days?"
Yawning, Wei Changtian shook his head and said, "If you have it, ask quickly. If not, just continue practicing."
"Master."
Ah Chun blinked her big eyes and asked in a low voice, "Why haven't I seen Master's Wife these days?"
"Huh? Why are you asking that, little brat?!"
Wei Changtian glared, but still asked angrily: "Which master's wife are you talking about?"
"It's the Second Master's Wife."
Ah Chun was no longer afraid of Wei Changtian's pretending to be angry, so he looked up and asked, "Master, did Second Master's Wife go out?"
Led astray by Wei Qiaoling when she came to Shuzhou last time, Achun now always calls Yang Liushi the eldest master's wife, Liang Qin the second master's wife, and Xu Qingwan the third master's wife.
The ranking criteria is not age, but seniority.
"Your Second Master's Wife has gone to war. It will take at least a few months for her to come back."
Wei Changtian patiently explained: "If I'm not here during this period, if you have any questions, go ask your Uncle Zhang."
"Oh, I see."
Ah Chun nodded first, then asked again with curiosity: "Master, what is war?"
“War is a group of people fighting.”
Wei Changtian said it perfunctorily, hoping to get away with it.
But Ah Chun was determined to get to the bottom of things and continued to ask, "Master, why are they fighting?"
Wei Changtian curled his lips: "Whoever wants to fight is forced to do so."
Ah Chun looked puzzled: "Who forced them to do this?"
“.”
It was originally just a simple question, but Wei Changtian was suddenly stunned and couldn't answer it for a long time.
Is it the general who led the army? Is it the emperor of Dafeng and Daning?
Or is it the hatred and conflicts between countries and people themselves?
The question was suddenly elevated to a metaphysical level. Wei Changtian was speechless for a long time. In the end, he just patted Achun's head and never gave an answer.
“Gurgle gurgle~”
The carriage was moving at a moderate speed on the bluestone road. The shops on both sides of the road were bustling with activity. The entire Shuzhou city seemed to be unaffected by the war that had broken out in Yuanzhou and was still prosperous.
"Zhang San."
Wei Changtian's voice suddenly passed through the car curtain and reached the ears of Zhang San who was whipping the car.
"You've committed so many crimes before, it's impossible that every one of them was caused by some deep hatred with others, right?"
“.”
Zhang San was stunned for a moment, then replied in a low voice: "Sir, this is natural."
Wei Changtian paused and asked again: "Then what do you think when you do things that are not necessary?"
"Well"
It is obvious that Zhang San has never thought about this problem.
However, he quickly replied: "Sir, I was forced to do many things."
"Being forced? Who forced you?"
"Sir, I don't know."
Zhang San responded honestly, then swung the whip and hit the horse's buttocks with a "snap".
With a high-pitched neigh, the carriage sped up immediately.
The horses pulling the cart were running with their hooves churning and their long manes flying. Beads of sweat were oozing from their strong bodies.
Such fine horses are war horses that are a specialty of Liangzhou and are rare. They should have been the best mounts for galloping on the battlefield, but now they can only be used to pull carts in these crowded alleys.
By the way, is it also forced into doing so?
Shuzhou provincial government.
"Now, reinforcements from six states have arrived in Yuanzhou. Sir Liang will arrive in a few days."
"The main general of the national war is still Wu Ding, the general of Yuanzhou. He has been a general for generations and is deeply trusted by the royal family."
"A spy from Jizhou sent a message saying that the Xu family is now unable to continue, and it is probably only a matter of time before they are defeated and retreat."
“.”
An hour later, Chu Xianping had already reported the latest situation of the war in Yuanzhou and Jizhou.
However, Wei Changtian thought of that question again.
He told Chu Xianping exactly what happened this morning. After listening, the latter pondered for a moment, then asked seriously:
"Sir, let me use the battle of Yuanzhou as an example."
"If you were a citizen of Dafeng, would you think Dafeng was wrong?
Wei Changtian shook his head: "Of course not."
Chu Xianping asked again: "Sir, do you think the people of Daning will think Daning is wrong?"
Wei Changtian was stunned for a moment, then replied: "Of course not."
“So, since both countries are not at fault.”
Chu Xianping said calmly: "The only difference is which country the young master is from."
“.”
Chu Xianping didn't say it too bluntly, but Wei Changtian finally realized it at this moment.
The struggle of hatred, the struggle of interests, the struggle for power... the origin of all contradictions in this world is nothing more than the word "standpoint".
Just like the Liu family and the Wei family, and just like himself and Xiao Feng, Wu Tianqing, and Yunlian.
