Official Son-in-Law and the Beautiful Lady Fragrance

Qian Xuan smiled helplessly and said, "Brother, you're still young. You've only been in the Southwest Conference for a few hours, right? There are some rules you're not clear about yet."

"Oh... haha, that's true. Brother Xuan, go ahead." Liu Zhizhong nodded with a smile, offering a cigarette as he spoke.

"Our local powerful families are indeed allowed to have a limited number of guns, but they are only for self-defense."

"That's right! You're sending Da Xing and Xiao Xing to protect Sister Ling. That's also for self-defense, isn't it? So why is it that they can have guns at the estate but not outside?"

"Good question! Well said!" Qian Xuan held his cigarette and pointed to Liu Zhizhong as he continued, "Self-defense applies within one's own territory but not on someone else's turf. That's one of the rules."

Liu Zhizhong started to understand, "Oh, the Xiang siblings didn't bring guns when they came here either. It's because of this rule, right?"

"Yes, exactly. In principle, guns should not leave the province! Every gun has a serial number and record."

"I get it! If guns could be taken out of the province, haha, you guys from the powerful families might take the opportunity to do something shady while going to Tiandu and bring guns... haha..."

"How daring! You rebel! How dare you speak such words?" Qian Xuandu laughed wickedly.

Liu Zhizhong quickly said, "I'm just joking! I don't know anything, and you didn't hear anything, my brother! Actually, I meant that all guns are officially managed, and there are no illegal guns, right?"

Liu Zhizhong couldn't help but laugh again as he looked at Qian Xuan.

Qian Xuan immediately put on a stern face, "Why are you looking at me like that? Smiling so mischievously! It sounds like you're saying my Qian family has illegal guns, which are prohibited!"

"Alright, I was overthinking it! Anyway, Yunxi is kind of your territory too, but it's not your province. So your guns can't go there, right?"

Qian Xuan nodded, "You can explain it that way! And another important reason is that during the great peace times when power distributions were being made, a consensus was formed among the powerful local figures. They can influence politics, economy, and livelihoods, but the deployment of troops is the one area they cannot influence. You understand, right?"

Liu Zhizhong nodded in agreement, "Absolutely! If you had that power, people's positions wouldn't be secure. And how does this relate to Da Xing and Xiao Xing not bringing guns to Yunxi?"

"The connection is immediate. Our Southwest Conference cannot interfere with the deployment within its influence range. Additionally, the border regions have stricter gun control. Can the borders allow gun proliferation? And my mother's grave is in her hometown at Mogu Lake. You know Mogu Lake is right on the border, right? If Da Xing and Xiao Xing brought guns and any incident happened, with guns drawn, how would the Qian family deal with it? Not to mention, people already see Gan Ling as a criminal remnant."

Liu Zhizhong nodded and said earnestly, "Brother Xuan, I understand. But in case... according to what you said, Yunxi Province has many ethnic minorities and is quite fierce. If something really happens, what should we do?"

Qian Xuan stiffened his neck, "What could really happen? As long as you don't act arrogant, nothing should happen, right? In a critical moment, wouldn't you call the police?"

"Uh..." Liu Zhizhong was taken aback, then laughed, "I know. But from what I know, along the way, there are mountains and rivers with signal blind spots. How to call the police?"

"Go, go, go, why are you always thinking about things going wrong? If something did happen, aren't there cold weapons in your car that could cause harm? How many cars could crash to harm you? How many could catch up? Isn't the satellite phone in your car not just for show?"

"Hehe... I was just casually saying it! Your sister is so precious, like a celestial treasure to Uncle Long. If anything were to happen to her, I'd also feel bad..."

"Go, go, go... we're about to depart. Can't you say something nice? Anyway, I'll leave the person to you. Along the way, I'll have the police stations stay in contact with you. Does that work?"

"Hey! That's more like it, hehe..."
