When Theodora came to the nunnery, Guo Kang was indeed here too.
Lama Wang brought many people to visit the Queen Mother. In addition to Tuo Huan, Guo Kang and little Jeanne, there are also several of his assistants, as well as a dark-skinned, middle-aged man wearing a turban.
Reminiscent of what Lama Wang said last time about inviting Tianfang teaching scholars to help, maybe he actually invited these people over.
Lama Wang was a little surprised to see her appear again, but Tuo Huan and Guo Kang both had "as expected" expressions on their faces.
This made Theodora a little unhappy, feeling that they regarded her as a burden that could only harass people - especially since she subconsciously suspected that she had gone too far.
This attitude made her feel a little guilty, but she didn't want to admit it. He was even a little angry about exposing his own behavior.
She rolled her eyes and walked over to greet her grandmother.
Tuo Huan looked at her inexplicably, and then at Guo Kang. However, before he could figure out the situation. Lama Wang had already pulled him over while being polite to everyone.
At the door of the convent, two young girls stood. They wore legion-style black armor, and the same black helmets were tied with white turbans commonly used by nuns. He was wearing a black robe, cowhide boots on his feet, and he was holding an ax gun as tall as a person in his hand.
The two stood upright, with calm expressions and piercing eyes. They looked like they had obviously undergone rigorous training. This state is much more reliable than the few guards in front of Guo Kang's house who only know how to eat and watch movies.
"Are nuns also dressed like this?" She heard the Tianfang teaching scholar say to Lama Wang.
"According to the rules, in addition to the local dioceses directly under our jurisdiction, our church only manages various theological and philosophical institutes and church schools. According to tradition, these institutions only recruit men," said Lama Wang.
"As for the nuns and academies formed by women, they are theoretically semi-private organizations. Therefore, the church only sends people to conduct regular inspections to provide guidance and sponsorship to qualified organizations, and does not pay much attention to their specific operations. Since there is no clear The jurisdiction system, their uniforms and internal discipline are also determined by themselves."
"Actually, most nuns are very... loose." Grand Lama Wang tried hard to think of a suitable adjective and explained: "This nuns belong to the personal hobby of our Queen Mother. She insisted that this is the uniform of the nuns. , we can’t control it..."
"I heard from Mr. Guodawus before that the Queen Mother loves martial arts. Although I haven't seen her yet, I can feel her prestige." The scholar also said politely.
"Hey, I'll have to challenge you later." Lama Wang muttered helplessly and awkwardly hit his head with a whisk.
"..."
Theodora, Lama Wang and others briefly greeted each other and walked to the door. Seeing her coming, the nun on guard on the left smiled and winked at her mischievously. The one on the right immediately knocked the ground with her ax gun, so she had to stick out her tongue and stand upright again.
Not long after, an old lady walked out vigorously.
Her pale hair was simply pulled back, and her face was thin and weathered, but she still had regular features and sharp eyes. Although there are wrinkles between her eyebrows and eyes, she can still vaguely see the charm of the past. She was probably a beauty when she was young.
She was wearing a simple narrow-sleeved top and jodhpurs with the trousers tucked into short boots, looking simple but capable. There is an ordinary belt around the waist, with a dagger inserted on one side, and the copper ring hanging the sword on the other side is empty. She had no extra jewelry on her body, and only wore a gold ring on her right hand.
"The Queen Mother is here." Lama Wang said to everyone.
Along with the Tianfang teacher, everyone bowed to pay tribute.
"You're welcome, you're welcome, we're all here, why bother?" Queen Elizabeth didn't care much, and said to Lama Wang in fluent Central Plains dialect: "Old Wang, you're good to come, I just want to Going to find you."
"What's wrong?" Lama Wang seemed unprepared and asked.
"I want to send my children to Egypt with little Jeanne of the Yunwen family. Can you help me smoothen my relationship?" The Queen Mother made a direct request like a barrage of requests.
"No problem, we have already agreed that they will go to Antioch as the second batch of people, and then transfer to Alexandria." Lama Wang told her: "These days, I am helping little Jeanne It’s training.”
"No, I want them to be the first batch." The Queen Mother shook her head: "Anna is determined not to do so, otherwise I would even want to go. I have never gone to Egypt to fight in my life."
"Uh..." Not to mention the queen's unwillingness, it was obvious that Lama Wang could not agree. He looked embarrassed and tried to organize his words to convince the other party.
"Queen Mother, although the Mamluks are weak and have internal strife, they are famous elite soldiers in the world after all. The first batch of legions to pass will face attacks at any time." Guo Kang took a step forward and analyzed clearly: "Except for the Mamluks led by the Sultan himself, , not all local people welcome us. Hostility from die-hard believers and local chiefs is also inevitable."
"I'm not doubting your ladies' fighting ability. If you just set up a majestic formation and it's over after the fight, then I also support sending more soldiers, including female soldiers, to support. The more people, the better. But this time on the front line The situation is very complex and cannot be summed up by a simple 'battle'."
"I know that you will think that you are also warriors and do not need special treatment, but since we live in the mortal world, we must face reality - no matter what, everyone must treat you specially, including our enemies."
"If you go to the front line, the commanders in charge here and the legionnaires in friendly neighbors will definitely bear a lot of psychological pressure. This cannot be eliminated by a few words of relief."
"And once there are losses or even captures, it will definitely have an impact on the morale of the army. Don't forget, we are not going to fight bandits in the mountains this time, but to fight the Mamluks. No one can guarantee that everyone will be safe. "
"In the army, we fight as warriors, not knights. In addition to martial arts, a warrior must also have an overall view, discipline, and a sense of collective responsibility. Even if personal honor is temporarily sacrificed, victory in the war and collective The interests of the people are the first goal.”
"I can understand that this is unfair and even cruel to a person who practices martial arts all year round. But as warriors, we are the ones who most need to stay calm and realistic in Rome. Because what we have to face and fight is this cruelty And an unjust world.”
"So, I urge you to think carefully and consider my suggestions," he concluded.
Queen Elizabeth looked at Lama Wang.
"I didn't teach him in advance. I'm not at this level." Lama Wang spread his hands.
"No, I mean, you have to learn from this kid." The Queen Mother shook her head, and then said decisively: "Good boy, what you said makes sense, just do what you said."
There are not many recommendations since it was put on the shelves. In the past few days, I have found some other big guys asking for book recommendations.
