Chapter 360: What is a hero?
Guo Kang was a little unwilling to do this, he took out the information and wanted to explain. But at this time, a doorman came in and told his father-in-law that the eldest lady was coming.
Guo Kang was a little surprised, and he didn't know what she was doing here. The stepfather had a headache.
He told Guo Kang that the last time the Beiya soldiers were selected to go to the training camp of the teaching regiment, and when everyone was holding a celebration, Li Anning, who was invited to attend, had a moment of skill and showed them off his riding and archery skills. The soldiers on both sides were very happy, and then asked her to perform several times, making a big show.
This was originally a good thing, but after Guo Ponu heard it, he was very unconvinced, feeling that his martial arts were obviously higher and stronger than Li Anning, but he had no chance to perform. For this reason, she went to her father-in-law and wanted to go to the barracks to show it herself. If she doesn't have a chance in the near future, let her go to the teaching group to find a position and become a teaching leader.
Of course, the stepfather could not agree. There is strict discipline in the army, and not everyone can come and go as soon as they want. Li Anning was an impromptu performance made by a nobleman from Beiya at the celebration, not deliberately running to show off his skills, let alone joining the army.
However, Guo Ponu was not convinced, and he had already made trouble several times. As soon as she came back with her mother this time, she started again. Fortunately, Guo Kang was also there 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 tossed for so long. But the stepfather was very confident that he would be able to.
By the time Guo Ponu came in, the two had already begun to discuss the issue of gangsters in the city.
Regarding the documents that Guo Kang put out, his father-in-law told him that this was actually part of the "rules of the game".
Although he wanted to take advantage of this to divert the topic and prevent Guo Ponu from making trouble in the name of having something serious, he still took this opportunity to seriously explain to Guo Kang.
"Do you think no one else knows about these things?" He shook his head: "There are people in the city who are engaged in illegal activities, and everyone actually knows it. Even if there are no documents, it is conceivable. ”
"Not to mention anything else, I, Uncle Li, and even the Great Khan, know very well - when we were young, we were also dressed in fresh clothes and angry horses on the street, and mixed with a group of rangers."
"The ancients said that chivalry is forbidden by force. Some of the people we have friends with are knights from civilian backgrounds, and everyone is very clear about the black and white sides of various non-governmental organizations. He smiled and said, "I think it's at least clearer than you are now." ”
"Although many knights have various problems, they are generally good people. However, all the knights as a whole cannot necessarily be said to be good or bad. He explained: "Everyone is not engaged in production, and they practice martial arts all day long, so either the young master who has money in the family and the family members who depend on them, or they run other businesses." But for ordinary people, both of these people are dangerous guys, and everyone doesn't necessarily like them. ”
"That's it......" Guo Kang really doesn't have much experience in this area. Compared with his father-in-law, who has been running around since he was a child, he is simply an otaku, so he really can't answer.
"I'll tell you a story, and you'll know." The father-in-law said: "At the beginning, your Uncle Li got the news that the people of his aunt's family were rampant and often blackmailed the citizens, and the government didn't care. Some people couldn't stand it and were ready to fight with them, but they were worried that they couldn't fight, so they asked a few knights to help. ”
"Among them, someone happened to know us, so he told you Uncle Li about it. At that time, he was a hot-blooded young man like you, and he wanted to stand out for others and take care of his relatives who were corrupt. ”
"But I think it's not good, after all, it's from his aunt's family, and he was beaten by his nephew, and the family doesn't look good. So in the end, it was decided that I would come forward. Everyone made confessions and unanimously claimed that they didn't know them at all, so they were ordinary bullies and beat them first. ”
A few days later, the housekeeper of Aunt Li's house really brought people out to make trouble. I took a group of friends and beat them up, and everyone was very relieved. The shopkeeper of a tavern even invited us to drink for free, which attracted a lot of people. ”
"Drink too much, and everyone starts talking. There were people from other places who came to join in the fun and asked what was going on. Everyone pointed at me and told him that there were bullies from the Li family who came to make trouble, but today the hero came, and he beat those goods away with a single fist and kick. As a result, the man was very happy, saying that there were also people from the Guo family who were forced to buy things over there. Can you ask the hero to come out and beat the surname Guo away? ”
Guo Ponu, who had just entered the door, was directly silent when he heard it. Guo Kang didn't know what to say to her......
"Anyway, after that incident, I gradually figured it out." The stepfather seemed to understand her reaction, and continued: "Your uncle, the Duke of Lide, often told me things like etiquette and order back then. At first, I thought he was too pedantic, and there were so many injustices in society, so what was the use of telling some big truths here? But after seeing a lot, I realized that maybe what he cared about was the most critical issue. ”
"Relying on a few people to do chivalrous righteousness, although it makes people's blood boil, but many times it is useless. Sometimes your efforts don't work at all, and sometimes they even go bad. And this kind of behavior can benefit too few people, and even as long as you are away for a while, new evil people will emerge again. ”
So I thought, what my uncle said was actually right. A true hero should try to improve the social order and fundamentally prevent the wicked from having a chance to appear. Even if someone comes out, everyone will shout and beat them, and they will be quickly eliminated by everyone. ”
"Unfortunately, my ability in this area is not very good. I think your mother is better than me. The stepfather sighed: "What I can do is to keep working hard in this area." ”
"When the Ottomans attacked the city before, I just rushed back temporarily. At that time, the people in the city were panicking, so I called a group of friends who had been traveling together and asked them if they would like to do another big thing. ”
"A lot of people have a small livelihood here, so I decided to fight to the death. In this way, even the Rus, who are usually inconspicuous in the city, have made up thousands of Ding Zhuang. We swore to defend Rome, to defend our common homeland, to defend a life that had not been much happier, but at least not worse. Some of the gang members even hijacked the gang elders who were about to flee, and distributed the soft things they packed up to take away, calling on everyone to stay and defend the city. ”
"To be honest, I've been a Ranger for so many years, and that time was the time when I felt the closest I got to a chivalrous man. According to your uncle's words, this time I am not guarding a certain weak person, but the entire city, the entire civilized order. At the mention of these words, the father-in-law was full of nostalgia.
"You brothers and sisters are also closely related to this battle." He looked at the children: "It's good that young people have enthusiasm, but I still hope that you can think about it." Since we are in this position, we will have our own responsibilities. ”
