Guo Kang was a little unwilling to accept this. He took out the information and wanted to explain it. But at this time, a doorman came in and told the adoptive father that the eldest lady was here.
Guo Kang was a little surprised and didn't know what she was doing here. The adoptive father had a headache.
He told Guo Kang that the last time the Beiya soldiers were mobilized to train at the teaching regiment's station, and when everyone was celebrating, Li Anning, who was invited to attend, got excited and showed off his riding and shooting skills for them. The soldiers on both sides were very happy and asked her to perform several times afterwards, stealing the show.
This was originally a good thing, but after hearing this, Guo Ponu became very unconvinced. He felt that his martial arts skills were obviously better than Li Anning's, but he had no chance to show off. For this reason, she went to her adoptive father and wanted to go to the military camp to show off. If there is no chance in the near future, let her find a position with the teaching team, whether as a coach.
Of course the adoptive father couldn't agree. Discipline in the military is strict, and not everyone can come and leave as they please. Li Anning was doing an impromptu performance at a celebration as a nobleman of Beiya. He was not deliberately showing off his skills, let alone joining the army.
However, Guo Ponu was not convinced and had already made trouble several times. This time, as soon as she came back with her mother, she started again. Fortunately, Guo Kang was here this time, so he could take the opportunity to persuade her.
Guo Kang didn't think he could persuade him, otherwise he wouldn't have been tortured for so long. But the adoptive father was very confident and said that he could definitely do it.
When Guo Ponu came in, the two had already started discussing the gang problems in the city.
Regarding the documents Guo Kang laid out, his adoptive father told him that this was actually part of the "rules of the game."
Although he wanted to use this to change the topic and prevent Guo Ponu from causing trouble in the name of business, he still took this opportunity to explain to Guo Kang seriously.
"Do you think other people don't know about these situations?" He shook his head: "Someone is doing illegal things in the city, and everyone knows it. Even if there is no document, you can think of it."
"Not to mention anything else, your Uncle Li and I, as well as the Great Khan, all know very well that when we were young, we also hung out on the street with our horses and clothes on, and mingled with a group of rangers."
"The ancients said that chivalrous people break the law with force. Some of the people we associate with are chivalrous warriors from civilian backgrounds. We all know the black and white sides of various civil organizations very well." He said with a smile: "I think, at least, it is better than You know better now.”
"Although many knights have various shortcomings, they are still good people on the whole. However, all knights as a whole cannot necessarily be said to be good or bad." He explained: "Everyone is not engaged in production and just practices all day long. Wu Youyou, so they are either rich young masters and servants who depend on them, or they are running other businesses. But to ordinary people, these two kinds of people are dangerous guys, and everyone may not like them. "
"That's it..." Guo Kang really has no experience in this area. Compared with his adoptive father who has been running around since he was a child, he is simply a homebody, so he really can't talk.
"I'll tell you a story, and you'll know." The adoptive father said: "At first, your Uncle Li got the news that his aunt's family was running amok and extorting money from the citizens, but the government didn't care. Some people couldn't stand it. , I was ready to fight them desperately, but I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to defeat them, so I asked a few knights to help.”
"One of them happened to know us, so he told Uncle Li about this matter. Like you, he was also a passionate young man at the time, and he just wanted to stand up for others and control relatives who corrupted the family tradition."
"But I don't think this is good. After all, he is from his aunt's family. He was beaten by his nephew, and the family looks bad. So at the end of the discussion, it was decided that I would come forward. Everyone made a confession and unanimously claimed that they did not know them at all. , just treat him like an ordinary bully and beat him up first."
"A few days later, the housekeeper of Aunt Li's family really brought people out to cause trouble. I took a group of friends and beat them up. Everyone was very relieved. One of the tavern owners even invited us to drink for free, which attracted us. A lot of people came over.”
"After drinking too much, everyone started talking around. People from other places came to join in the fun and asked what was going on. They pointed at me and told him that there were bullies from the Li family who came to make trouble, but today a big crowd came. The hero beat those guys away with a fist and kick. As a result, the man was very happy and said that there were also people from the Guo family over there who were forcing people to buy things. Can you please ask the heroes to fight off the Guo people too? ?”
Guo Ponu, who had just entered the door, immediately fell silent. Guo Kang didn't know what to say to her...
"Anyway, after that incident, I gradually figured it out." The adoptive father seemed to understand her reaction, and continued: "Your uncle Li Degong often told me about etiquette, music, order, etc. At first, I thought he was too pedantic. There are so many injustices in society, so what’s the use of talking about some big principles here? But after seeing him more, I realized that maybe what he cares about is the most critical issue. "
"Relying on a few people to act chivalrously and righteously can make people excited, but in many cases it does not help. Sometimes your efforts have no effect at all, and sometimes they even cause trouble. And this kind of behavior can really benefit the people. There are too few, and even if you leave for a while, new villains will pop up again."
"So I thought, what my uncle said is actually right. A real hero should try to improve the social order and fundamentally prevent evil people from appearing. Even if someone shows up, everyone will shout and beat him up, which is very difficult. Be wiped out by everyone soon.”
"Unfortunately, my abilities in this area are not very good. I think your mother is better than me." The adoptive father sighed: "What I can do is to keep working hard in this area."
"When the Ottomans attacked the city before, I happened to rush back temporarily. At that time, people in the city were panicked, so I called a group of friends who used to be knights together and asked them if they were willing to do another big thing."
"Many people have small livelihoods here, so they decided to fight to the death. In this way, even the Russians, who are usually inconspicuous in the city, gathered thousands of strong men. We swore to defend Rome, defend our common homeland, and protect our country. Although the life in the past was not very happy, at least it was not a worse life. Some gang members even kidnapped the gang elders who were preparing to flee, distributed the soft goods they packed up to take away, and called on everyone to stay and defend the city."
"To be honest, I have been a ranger for so many years. During that time, I felt closest to a knight. According to your uncle, this time I am not guarding a weak person, but the entire city and the entire civilized order. " Mentioning these words, the adoptive father's face was full of nostalgia.
"You two siblings are also closely related to this battle." He looked at the children: "It is a good thing for young people to be passionate, but I still hope that you can think carefully. Since we are in this position, we will have It’s your own responsibility.”
