The morning sun hangs obliquely in the east.

Qin Shen put his hand on the pergola and watched the eight horses run farther and farther, and turned his head to look north, the grass waves on the endless grassland were faint, full of vitality and fascinating.

Looking back to the south, a column of verdant mountains stretches in the distance, majestic and magnificent.

This was once his home, but now it has become the place he guards, the cycle of two eras seems to be a coincidence, but in fact it is inevitable, all this, is it a dream or an illusion?

"Brother Qin seems to have been quite emotional for a few days, I don't know why?" Qu Han, who had been watching and was silent, followed his gaze into the distance and said leisurely.

Listening to the questions floating in his ears, Qin Shen retracted his mixed thoughts and said angrily: "Looking at this picturesque scenery, who would have thought that in the next moment, it would be possible for thousands of horses to gallop here, with swords and swords." ”

Qu Han was silent for a moment, and then said lightly: "Brother Qin seems to be very disgusted with war? ”

"War loath?" Qin Shen was slightly stunned, and said simply, "Maybe." But what about disgust? You and I live in such times, how can everything change in the slightest because of your and my preferences? No matter how much you think about it, it's just asking for trouble, what does Brother Qu think? ”

Qu Han nodded, but said noncommittally: "I have spent months observing all kinds of animals, and I have found that without exception, whenever other animals invade the land it occupies, it will definitely cause a fight, which is probably the nature of all things in the world to fight, and the reason why they invade other places is nothing more than for food, water, reproduction, etc., presumably this is the reason for the fight itself." ”

Qin Shen was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect to meet a person who almost pointed out the root cause of the war two thousand years ago, and fell silent for a while.

After a while, Qu Han continued: "And human beings, as a separate existence above all things, have pursuits and thoughts, and in the face of many entanglements of interests, they can extract from the simple idea of relying on struggle, and find another way to solve their needs, and the struggle will dissipate, therefore, even if war is the nature of human beings, it is not inevitable in the world, as long as the world has a law, the world is the same, how can disputes arise again?" ”

"The world is the same, the world is the same......" In the face of Qu Han's deeper understanding of war, Qin Shen murmured and did not dare to agree, but he couldn't afford to refute it, he didn't want to tell the other party how big the world is, and the so-called world harmony is so far away that it is difficult to achieve.

In his opinion, it is better for people to have a trace of illusion, if they ruthlessly destroy other people's dreams, what is the difference between this and killing each other?

Feeling depressed, Qin Shen put aside this heavy topic, and reminded more or less in his spirits: "I listened to Brother Qu a few days ago, Brother Qu seems to have traveled all over the world, and he must know the size of the world, but unlike a mountain hunter like me, what he sees and knows is only a village and a corner, and compared with the two, he really envy me." ”

For Qin Shen's care, Qu Han smiled indifferently, as if his words were not intended to get anyone's response and approval, but just his own words.

Qin Shen saw a trace of doubt and denial from what he had just said from the other party's faint smile, and he couldn't help but look away from it with a weak heart.

The figures of Cao Jin and the others turned into a cloud of black dots and disappeared into the sky.

There was an inexplicable coldness in the air, Qin Shen retracted his gaze and said with a smile: "Damn it, war is just a fate that is difficult to get rid of for our soldiers, it's ridiculous that we are the most ordinary ordinary people in the world, but we are discussing the righteousness of war here, if we let others know, I'm afraid we will laugh off our big teeth." ”

With that, he turned over and dismounted, took two wooden swords from the saddle, and patted the horse's buttocks.

In the sound of "rustling", the horses gnibled comfortably on the grass and quietly slipped away.

Listening to his inadvertent rude words, the corners of Qu Han's mouth raised slightly, took the thrown wooden sword and turned it a few times with his index finger as the center, gently picked it up and held the hilt with his backhand, and casually held the sword flower and said: "It's better to practice in a different way today." ”

"A different way?" Qin Shen was stunned for a moment, and said curiously: "I don't know how Brother Qu wants to train me?" ”

Qu Han smiled and didn't speak, flipped his wrist and flicked the wooden sword into the air with his fingertips, jumped off the horse, easily and accurately supported the vertically falling wooden sword without squinting, and then put the sword in his hand, took a cloth bag from the side of the saddle and put it on the ground, and drove the horse away.

Listening to the crackling sound in the cloth bag, Qin Shen became more and more curious.

"Brother Qin's archery skills are extraordinary, and the art of technical attack is also a good player, you should know that no matter what kind of competition, it is nothing more than a duel of strength, reaction, flexibility and wisdom, what you and I have learned is the art of killing the enemy on the battlefield, not as vassally elegant as a scribe, so the requirements for these points are even greater."

Qu Han said and compared with the wooden sword: "It's like swordsmanship, if the opponent's elbow is retracted, it can be judged that the opponent's next step is very likely to be a flat stab, if the arm is raised, it should be an oblique split, if the wrist is flipped, then it is a change of move, and so on, you need to anticipate the enemy's first opportunity to be able to resolve it one by one, but even if you can see through the opponent's sword momentum, if the body can't keep up, it is in vain, this is the importance of reaction and body flexibility." ”

Yan Bi cast an inquiring glance at Qin Shen, and when he saw him nod thoughtfully, he continued: "Observing the changes in the opponent's sword moves is the most basic requirement, and the above is just the way of defense, if your strength can suppress the opponent, it is another matter, just like the opponent's attacking sword move, you can defuse it and disrupt it with your strength, or if you attack the opponent's long sword, the opponent is unable to resolve it even if he sees it, so that you can turn defense into attack or one move to be effective." ”

Qin Shen bowed his head and said that he understood, isn't this the so-called only the ability to parry, and there is no power to fight back.

Qu Han glanced at him appreciatively, and said: "However, in a person's life, you can always meet people who are evenly matched, in this duel, in addition to competing for endurance, whether it is the first to win or the second strike, only surprise is the way to win." ”

At this point, his eyes inadvertently shot a sigh of embarrassment, and continued: "The world may know that soldiers have the art of war, but they may not be able to know that the sword also has the way of the sword, a certain has walked all over the Central Plains, seen all things in the world, and what he has seen and heard, is nothing more than forcible seizure, brute force to win, few people who are intellectually enemy, but they do not know that no matter whether they use soldiers and swords, or give and take, wisdom in a person's life, no matter when and where, is throughout." ”

After listening to these seemingly empty but thorough remarks, Qin Shen was shocked and speechless for a long time.

Who said that the ancients were easy to deceive? The man in front of him is just a pawn on the frontier like himself, but how can he show wisdom that many in the future can achieve? I am afraid that some of the little tricks that some people in later generations are complacent about are just jokes left over from their predecessors.

Thinking of this, the ambition that had risen a few days ago suddenly disappeared and ceased to exist, and it was only when he saw Qu Han's inquiring gaze that he was slightly sober, and said: "Listening to Brother Qu's words, the younger brother has really benefited a lot, cough, I just don't know if there are many people as wise as Brother Qu today?" ”

Qu Han obviously didn't expect him to ask such a question, and he was obviously not good at such praise, so he suddenly looked embarrassed, and said unhappily: "Why did Brother Qin ask such a question?" Could it be that you can't joke about me? If that's the case, I think it's more appropriate to call Xue Yucao and the two of them to come. ”

"Oh, don't!" Qin Shen was embarrassed to deny it, and then said solemnly: "Brother Qu's words, the junior brother is sincerely convinced, as for the inappropriate words, please take care of Brother Qu, well......" said and diverted the topic, "I don't know how Brother Qu is going to train me today?" ”

Qu Han knew that what the other party said had no other meaning, but he couldn't wipe his face, and when he heard this, his face slowed down and he no longer cared about him, picked up the cloth bag on the ground and took out a few wooden sticks from it and said: "Brother Qin's strength can hold a two-stone bow, it can be seen that there is no need to train the strength, and in the future, it only needs to be used reasonably, and it is more than enough to deal with ordinary people. ”

"Okay, wait for me to warm up first." Qin Shen nodded and replied.

"Warm up?" Qu Han looked at the strange movements he had begun to perform in surprise, and retreated a few feet away and said, "Later, I will attack all parts of your body with wooden sticks, you just need to knock them away one by one." ”

After a while, Qin Shen, who stretched out his body, raised his sword and put himself in a posture, signaling to Qu Han that he was ready.

With a "whoosh", the wooden stick flicked out without warning, directly attacking Qin Shen's door.

Qin Shen held the wooden sword in front of him and opened it, and before he could react more, he was hit in the abdomen by the second wooden stick that followed.

Qu Han stopped the action in his hand and said: "I don't ask you to blindly defend, you also need to understand where the opponent's next blow will come from, and how can your sword move move reach it faster to defuse it or even turn it into an attack, and the method you use is actually taboo with a sword, no matter when, unless you have to do it, you can't put the sword horizontally and vertically in front of the door, so if you encounter a powerful person, the consequences are unimaginable." ”

Qin Shen tilted his head and thought for a moment, and if he had gained, his head indicated that he had been taught.

Seeing that he seemed to have comprehended, Qu Han attacked two more sticks according to the previous method, Qin Shen swung his sword and flew straight to the wooden stick facing the door, and took advantage of the situation to flip his wrist and then block the blow to the abdomen, and at this time the third stick came to ......

The boring and interesting practice was repeated in the methodical attack and block of the two of them, and in the face of the wooden stick attacked by Qu Han, although the movements were a little rusty, Qin Shen could always knock it away with danger.

Qu Han's eyes showed a look of approval, and the movements in his hands couldn't help but speed up a little, and the wooden stick that attacked the opponent instantly seemed to be all over his body.

At this point, even if Qin Shen was so busy dancing, he could only swing it five or six out of ten, and the rest hit one after another.

After another round, Qin Shen stood on the long sword in his hand and wiped the sweat on his forehead, panting and said, "Brother Qu, can you rest for a while?" ”

"If there is a war at this moment, will Brother Qin ask such a question?" Qu Han, who was picking up the wooden sticks on the ground, asked rhetorically without looking back.

"Okay!" Qin Shen replied weakly, a wry smile escaped from the corner of his mouth, and he suddenly found that Qu Han was not as old-fashioned and boring as he looked.
