Mythic version of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 6519 Extraordinary Human
When Liu Bei and others mentioned the veteran's gambling problem, the veteran who attracted Liu Bei's attention was also found by his brothers, who were trying to find a way to mobilize this guy to work.

"Brother Xiao, I heard that you were basking in the sun on the bridge recently. Come on, follow us to your hometown to get some living expenses. As for women, the old ones don't go and the new ones don't come." Jiang Chen called out from afar before he even reached Queen Xiao, who looked like a beggar in a tattered sweater.

"Oh, it's you." Queen Xiao turned over and looked up, glanced at Jiang Chen, then turned away again, too lazy to pay attention to the other party. She didn't want to struggle at all and just wanted to bask in the sun on a spring day.

"Let's go, let's go. Stop being so stubborn. Make some money with us guys and live a good life. Then you can find a widow later." Jiang Chen didn't care about Empress Xiao's wool thread that had been tangled and greasy because it hadn't been taken care of for a long time. He pulled her up.

"As a man in this world, it is inevitable that his wife is not virtuous and his children are unfilial. Just remarry and have another one. Brother, there will always be people who want your conditions. Let's go, have some wine, and go make some money with your brothers. You can be a brave man again in another place." Jiang Chen dragged Queen Xiao, and Queen Xiao followed reluctantly.

After all, his brother had come all the way from Jizhou, so it would be a bit unreasonable for him not to treat him to a meal. In the past, he would have to eat and drink a lot, so under Jiang Chen's dragging, he did not refuse and at least accompanied him for a few meals.

When they arrived at the tavern, there were already four or five acquaintances there. The cut tripes and mutton on the table were untouched. They were just waiting for Queen Xiao. When Queen Xiao arrived, the brothers all looked as if they had seen a ghost.

Although I heard when I came here that Brother Xiao had suffered a bit of a blow and his daughter had gone back to her parents' home with his wife, but with Brother Xiao's ability, how could he have become like this? This is too ridiculous. How could Brother Xiao have ended up like this?
After a quick meal and some drinks, the brothers felt a little bored. They were too embarrassed to ask Queen Xiao what had happened in the tavern, so they could only finish their meal and drinks quickly and drag Queen Xiao to take a bath. After the bath, the brothers straightened her clothes, trimmed her hair and beard. After a while of tidying up, the brave old man in his early forties appeared again.

"Now it's normal. Brother Xiao, what's wrong with you?" The table was set again, this time not in the private room of the restaurant, but at Queen Xiao's home. The meat, vegetables and steamed buns were all ordered from the restaurant, and the wine was the best osmanthus rice wine. After the group drank half a jar of it, they started to ask this question.

Because when they retire, everyone returns to their hometown, from all over the world. Except for Jiang Chen who happened to come here last year and visited his eldest brother on the way, and knew that his eldest brother had divorced his sister-in-law, and then indulged himself in bars and gambling houses every day, the others didn't even know about this before they came.

After hearing the group's persuasion, Queen Xiao finally understood what had happened and why a group of younger brothers had come to her collectively. It was time for her to take the lead again.

In the past, there have been some young people with a strong sense of justice who accepted employment by the Lanling Xiao family. However, after seeing some evil experiments that were not in line with human concepts, they became angry and turned against the Xiao family. Some even combined with experimental equipment to rebel against the Xiao family. This was really hurtful.

Insiders combined experimental equipment and blasted the laboratory, and the Xiao family was dumbfounded. The high salary I gave you was to allow you to capture the experimental animals after they escaped and prevent them from rebelling. In the end, you followed the experimental animals to fight me?

This is also why when Lanling Xiao Clan recruits people, they need to have experience in previous missions, because this means that this person is more receptive to certain outrageous experiments and will not have an overwhelming sense of justice and want to overthrow their own family.

If it weren't for the fact that Empress Xiao's family knew about his own affairs, he would have been absorbed into the Lanling Xiao Clan after he demonstrated his ability to organize the rebels.

This is also the reason why Jiang Chen and others came to find Queen Xiao. Queen Xiao and Lanling Xiao family have cooperated many times. With Queen Xiao leading the team, on the one hand, the salary can be much higher, and on the other hand, the Xiao family's ideological censorship can be less.

Damn, such an excellent veteran, and his surname is Xiao, he must be the lost member of our family.

It's not that they can't defeat Pojie. If Wang Yue didn't run away in a place like Laoshu Fort, they could have surrounded him and killed him with a group of people. But that requires elite men under their command. What about the guards of Lanling Xiao family? They are really no match. It seems that they are paid to eat, not to risk their lives for money.

After going into the sea, it is relatively easier to make money, but it is still difficult to get rich overnight. The jobs that Lanling Xiao's family has sent out this time that require thugs are well-paid jobs, but this kind of work requires a reliable person to take it.

Although if you dare to do this, you are not afraid of being reported. You are abroad and you are not using the Han people for experiments. They are just experimental animals, highly anthropomorphic at most. Chen Xi doesn't want to care, and he can't care. He just ignores it. But if there are too many reports, it will have a bad impact. In fact, with so many rumors, it has become more difficult for Lanling Xiao Clan to recruit people!
These days, the number of people recruited is basically linked to the development speed of the family's fiefdom. If fewer people are recruited, the fiefdom will develop slower. So when the rumor that a certain family is carrying out evil plans becomes widely circulated, the development of this family is bound to have problems.

Queen Xiao had taken on private work for Lanling Xiao Clan before, and had even met Xuezhou and his men. She was also highly regarded by Lanling Xiao Clan. Some of them even wanted to recruit Queen Xiao. After all, they had the same surname and were from the same family five hundred years ago.

This is why Xuezhou and Zhangdu always get private jobs from Lanling Xiao family, because they are really strong and tight-lipped, and they turn a blind eye to some things that are obviously black materials, and also because they are old Yellow Turbans with sufficient military organizational capabilities.

"So, you want me to take you to Africa to catch some experimental animals for the Lanling Xiao family?" Queen Xiao roughly understood the purpose of this group of people and could also understand their thoughts.

It would be best if this reliable person is strong and has taken over Lanling Xiao's private work before. It would be best if he also has some military organizational skills. There are not many such people.

Large noble families have to have some dignity, but medium-sized families like the Lanling Xiao family don't care so much about face. A veteran who has been refined to the sixth level is worth the price, not to mention that he can also carry out military command on a certain scale.

Therefore, as the Lanling Xiao family is really carrying out evil plans, they really need people who are tight-lipped and capable.

After all, the things that Xiao did abroad are really not suitable for normal people to see. They are too evil and too insidious. Veterans with a strong sense of justice may conflict with Xiao after seeing them, or even report him to the country.

Immediately, a group of people started cursing at the table, saying that this was inevitable in the world, and that Brother Xiao should not be too upset. He should go and relax with his brothers, and pass by Persia to catch Hu Ji to cheer Brother Xiao up.

Jiang Chen's suggestion of going to Brother Xiao's family with his brothers to earn a living was this job. Lanling Xiao's had a bunch of jobs in Chang'an that needed thugs, and Jiang Chen was heartbroken because of the Jizhou case that year, so he quit after two years.

To the extent that until now, Lanling Xiao Clan does not recruit those young men who have just debuted, such as Wang Ke, a righteous guy in his thirties. Unless there is a big boss from the second party who has cooperated with Lanling Xiao Clan many times to help lead him, otherwise he will be asked to get out of here as soon as possible.

However, ever since Xuezhou and Zhang Du encountered a boundary-breaking orc who escaped from the Lanling Xiao laboratory, they had a correct understanding of the danger and suddenness of this job.

In fact, if Queen Xiao went there herself, there would be basically no ideological censorship. She would just need to receive a sum of money every once in a while to relax, and then come back and continue to work.

This is Lanling Xiao's reward for outstanding partners. In fact, it is also Lanling Xiao's way of managing its own researchers. After all, if this kind of evil experiment is done too much, it will indeed distort human thoughts and beliefs.

However, if this kind of experiment is not carried out, certain defects will be difficult to verify, so the Xiao family of Lanling can only verify it on as many mammals as possible, and after repeated verification, verify it on humans.

Generally speaking, when a process reaches the point where human verification is required, it will be stopped first, and a large number of people who need verification will be gathered and verified together. This can be regarded as maximizing the use of resources.

But the disadvantage is that when conducting large-scale verification, Xiao has to summon guards from outside. After all, the experimental subjects will also resist, and some verifications will greatly increase the strength of the experimental subjects in a short period of time.

Even if precautions are taken in advance, for safety reasons, more personnel will still be needed to avoid accidents.

The experimental methods these days are really too abstract. Even though the Xiao family's laboratory has produced top-notch works through the joint efforts of various major families, they have still been adding more laboratory regulations every year in the past few years.

Empress Xiao held a piece of pork liver with a thoughtful look on her face, and the others were slightly happy when they saw Empress Xiao's expression. As long as Empress Xiao was willing to leave here and stop being so stubborn, everything would be easy to solve. Just like Jiang Chen said before, a man in the world is bound to have an unvirtuous wife and unfilial children, but life still has to go on. With Empress Xiao's ability, as long as she doesn't get stuck in a rut, what can't she get into?

This is the sixth level of smelting. With the change in the natural world and the curse of world consciousness, it is questionable whether there are still two hundred people who can perform the sixth level of smelting in the entire Central Plains. If we really calculate the level, these people are as rare as those whose internal energy leaves their body.

"It's not impossible, but you have to accompany me to meet someone." Queen Xiao put down her chopsticks, rubbed her yellowish face, and said very seriously, as if she needed to make a break with the past.

"That's right, Brother Xiao, drink, drink, get drunk to forget your worries today, and tomorrow we will go to see the person you mentioned. Have a good rest, there is no need for us to rush." ​​Jiang Chen hurriedly took the wine from the side and said to Queen Xiao.

"Drink, drink, drink." Several people beside him also said, they also felt that it was meaningless for Empress Xiao to continue to hang around in Wugong County in this situation. His wife and children had all run away, and it was meaningless to stay in such a sad place. With Brother Xiao's ability, he could find another good man in another place. If you ask, he's a widower. Who the hell would dig deeper! Widowers are not normal these days.

Judging from his ability alone, with Brother Xiao's ability, there is no family that he cannot trick into getting a concubine's daughter. This guy can fight and lead troops. Do all the major families lack a concubine's daughter who can win over such a person?

If you don't recognize a piece of gold or jade, just let it run away and find something better.

A group of people ate and drank until the early night, and then gathered together in a random place in Queen Xiao's house. No matter how miserable Queen Xiao's life was, could she not have a place to live in the house that came with her eleventh-level title?

Unless a gambling house has a backer of Yuan Shu's level, it would be impossible for it to accept such a mansion rewarded by the state.

What's more, the gambling house dared to lend money to Queen Xiao because they knew that she could afford to pay it back. This man was also a decent person. He just went to the Ganges with Lao Liu and found out when he came back that his wife had slept with his former friend and the child was not his.

Queen Xiao was so furious that she almost hacked her wife and her former friend to death on the spot. Although such a thing could be killed in ancient times, Queen Xiao finally accepted the result and stabbed the other party with a sword. Then she broke off all ties with him and sent his wife back to her parents' home the next day with a letter of divorce.

After that, Queen Xiao became like a wandering ghost, lingering in gambling houses and taverns, where she lost everything.

Queen Xiao also gambled in the past, but it was just for fun. Now she is completely indulging herself. It is better to say that she is doing it to make herself forget those things rather than gambling.

After gambling more, he became a little addicted, but it was not that exciting at all, because even if he won, it would not make Empress Xiao, who was feeling heavy-hearted, feel very happy.

This is also the reason why Empress Xiao didn't want to talk when she met Liu Bei. Although the incident had happened before going to the Ganges, going to the Ganges revealed the matter, making Empress Xiao somewhat gloomy when she met Liu Bei.

Some even didn't want to pay attention to Liu Bei, but when Liu Bei asked him what was wrong, their rationality slightly changed the cause and effect, making Liu Bei think that he had become a gambler and sold his children. In fact, it was not the case, but that his family was in turmoil.

This is also the reason why Liu Bei found that there was no obvious violation of regulations in the gambling house in Wugong County when he went there. In fact, the gambling house did not do anything. Even after Captain Xiao lost a lot of money, he was a little afraid and advised Queen Xiao not to play anymore.

After all, there is no shortage of such a gambler. The purpose of opening a formal gambling house is to make some money. They never think of destroying the families and lives around them, especially this kind of old soldier. If he gets carried away and really starts to act, people will die!

I don't know about people of Liu Bei and Chen Xi's level, but there are rumors that last year in Nanyang, a gambling house was killed because of gambling money, losses, and debt collection, which made an old soldier angry. Four people died and seven were injured in the gambling house. And this was because there was an old soldier in the place at the time who helped to block the situation, otherwise there would have been more deaths.

This news is said to be a rumor, but basically all gambling houses have some connection with it, so the accuracy of this kind of gossip is still very high. In addition, there have been rumors that there have been stabbing incidents in such gambling houses in Jizhou, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou this year, so the regular gambling houses in Guanzhong Road have naturally strengthened supervision.

In Nanyang, there was just a group of double-smelting gamblers going crazy. Four of them died and seven were injured. If Empress Xiao lost too much in the gambling house, the gambling house would probably be destroyed.

This guy is not joking. Wugong County is a place close to Chang'an in Guanzhong Road, and it is considered to be full of martial virtues. But except for Queen Xiao, a fake local who moved from another place with the sixth level of smelting, you can't even find a second sixth level of smelting.

Normally, a veteran who has been refined to the sixth level is either a big boss on the front line or a captain in the county. Let alone one in each county, normally speaking, one in each county is considered too many.

After the first-tier cities were divided, several important capitals and county towns would take turns to divide them. The aristocratic families would take a few, and there would be a few left. Everyone in the local area knew about Empress Xiao's sixth-level smelting.

In order to make others understand what a supernatural being is, a local prominent figure opened their eyes.

Spiral force field, stance protection, mind-body conversion, self-adaptation, airflow control, and instant power explosion, six smelting skills. When he was at his peak last year, he was even preparing to reach the seventh level like Zhao Zhen, but then he was slapped in the face by God and was sent back to the sixth level.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that these talents are messy and even difficult to make sense of. It is even difficult to say which talent is the main one. But if we only talk about combat effectiveness, it is really messy and the ability to cope with the battlefield is messy.

But generally speaking, when you reach the sixth level of smelting, there are no weaknesses anymore, and you can only fight head-on. At this level, no one cares about being extremely powerful.

Because there is no need for that. Generally, unless you are very unlucky and are surrounded by the opponent's veteran and a group of younger brothers, there will be no life safety issues.

The problem is, let alone the immortal veteran himself, even if the officers with out-of-body energy were surrounded by the immortal veteran and his followers, they would be beaten to death. Most of the backbone-level generals with out-of-body energy on the battlefield, such as Li Tiao, would be killed if they faced five or six immortal veterans at the same time.

This is Li Tiao, a top-level warrior who is usually used as a fierce general. He would die if he was surrounded by five or six immortal veterans under the cloud.

But if you think about it, there are less than two hundred immortals who have reached the sixth level of smelting, and there are only about a hundred officers and soldiers who have achieved the state of internal energy leaving the body, including those warriors who do not command troops. Both sides are basically strong men of the same level, but those who have achieved the state of internal energy leaving the body are more ostentatious, while the old soldiers are more low-key. To be honest, the two sides are actually at the same level. There is a gap, but it is not big.

Although there is no such recognition at the social level, ordinary people still recognize that the veterans of the sixth level of smelting are so powerful that they can almost crush ordinary people.

Therefore, legitimate gambling houses are actually quite afraid of people like Empress Xiao who become anxious about losing and lose their minds. Because if this kind of guy gets angry and attacks directly, and the gambling house is not kidding about wiping out the whole family on the spot, you won't even be able to escape.

This is what it means for extraordinary humans to coexist with humans.

It’s just that the mentality of extraordinary humans is still that of social people, and they haven’t gone so far as to do something like “I don’t eat beef.”

　Climb, climb, climb. I can only crawl.
