Chapter 6835 Try Your Hand

"Ah, the evaluation is so high?" Chen Xi looked at Zhang Wang and Ji Xuan. There was nothing he could do, these were the only two he knew here, and in Chen Xi's opinion, these two were the typical people who would just hang around if they could.

Fifth level smelting, seventh level title, and only in his early forties. He was even less than forty when he retired from the army. After returning, he stayed in Chang'an as a palace guard, a perfect retirement job. The reason why Chen Xi knew these two was because they were really just scoundrels.

At the age of forty, the prime of life, the fifth level of forging, isn't this the time when you should strive the most? In the end, he retired from the army and came back to be a palace guard.

If Chen Xi had not seen all kinds of people with different aspirations, he would have set a threshold for these two people manually. So when Han Xin gave these two people such a high evaluation, Chen Xi was somewhat shocked. Is this a word to evaluate a slacker? Are these two slackers so good?
"Yes, this group of people is indeed excellent." Han Xin nodded, indicating that he was not talking nonsense, "You should know Zhang Wang and Ji Xuan."

"I know him." Chen Xi nodded and said, "I often guard the gate during court meetings."

"They are only about 43 or 44 years old this year. They recently broke through their own shackles and reached the sixth level of smelting." Han Xin pointed at Ji Xuan and Zhang Wang and said, "Moreover, it took less than a month for them to basically consolidate their foundation with faith and will that ordinary people can hardly imagine."

"Ah, the sixth level?" Chen Xi was silent for a while. The fifth level and the sixth level are completely two different worlds. A veteran who can reach the sixth level is basically considered to be among the top 500 veterans in the world. If he can reach the sixth level at the age of forty-three or forty-four, it cannot be said that he does not work hard.

In fact, if you really want to say it, there is still a possibility of reaching the seventh level in the final stage.

"It's normal. After all, the two have been discharged from the army for nearly five years. When they retired, they were already experts in the fifth-level smelting. In Nangui, they also killed a lot of people and made achievements with their own strength. It's just that they have become some slackers after coming back. However, everyone has their own ambitions. One of them returned home to open a small shop when he was in the seventh level, and one of him went to southern Sichuan to work as a clerk. These two are normal, but being able to reach the sixth level does deserve excellence." Chen Xi nodded, and looked at Zhang Wang and Ji Xuan with a little more satisfaction. They are talented people with great potential.

Chen Xi has come to understand the diversity of veterans over the years. Even someone as strong as Sun Er, who was trained to the seventh level after retiring from the Northern Frontier, also opened a small shop in Jizhou. Dong Zhe, a sixth-level veteran, has been fighting with Sun Qian for several years. It can be said that he was a seed of a top veteran back then.

Therefore, Chen Xi could still understand the two guards who came to the palace to make a living after retiring from the army. After all, the palace guards were respectable, had higher salaries, and easy work.

"If you watch their training for yourself, you will understand after a while. These are ruthless people. If they can keep up this training, they may even be able to elevate their will to the point of breaking limits." Han Xin said, pointing at several veterans who were training hard in Lan Chi Palace.

Chen Xi watched for a while and finally realized the difference. The veterans below had already reached their limits. Even during training, their muscles were shaking involuntarily, but they still completed their training meticulously, and their eyes were bright, as if burning with flames.

"An extremely strong belief." Chen Xi exclaimed, he had to admire this group of people.

"Belief is an indispensable part of breaking through one's limits after reaching them. What these soldiers are doing now is actually breaking through their own limits." Han Xin also said with some admiration. He was willing to help Liu Tong conduct intensive assault training for these veterans because he felt the burning belief in these veterans.

"The veterans I picked are pretty good, aren't they?" Liu Tong said proudly, crossing his arms and trying to support the air. He also walked over and said very seriously while looking at the veterans who were still undergoing intensive training.

"Very good, but they probably can't beat my team of six." Chen Xi said with a grin.

"Andana, Lord Chen said that you can't pass the six-man team he formed to participate in the competition!" Liu Tong raised his hand and waved in the direction of Andana. Andana, the incarnation of Anada, who was sweating all over and hadn't trained so seriously for a long time, slowly stood up straight, and a strong aura burst out from him.

After Zena's incarnation was defeated, Andana, Gorna, Pratt and Shivani were also affected. Fortunately, Masinde came forward to guarantee it, and the four of them really had no intention of causing trouble, so the matter was just let go, but there will definitely be private investigations later.

Mashind knew that there was something wrong with Andana, and he also estimated that Gorna might not be that simple. However, with Mashind's vision, he knew clearly that these people did not have any extra thoughts. Even Zena's incarnation was not here to cause trouble, but to see the princess, so he accepted this group of people before.

Masinde was a decent man. Even though he hated the Kushans very much because of what happened in the past, after taking over the Celian cause and effect and returning to Kushan from Malacca, he still managed to achieve the best of both worlds by resolving the cause and effect between himself and the Kushans. He not only repaid the Kushans for raising him, but also freed himself from the Kushans' shackles on him.

Masinde did not return from Tibet, but not to mention Vasudeva I, even Zhu Helai did not blame him for this matter. Even they had to admit that Masinde was a good person.

He was also very kind to Fu Ward. Even though he had guessed what choice Fu Ward would make, he still chose to leave Fu Ward a way out when he did things. It was just that Fu Ward finally chose the opposite path.

This man was such a decent person who was willing to help himself and others, so he accepted these problematic veterans. And after stopping them for investigation, he took advantage of Liu Tong's opportunity to select personnel to send Andana, Gorna and others under Liu Tong's nose.

It not only fulfills the group's wish to meet the princess, but also adds a different luster to the event, and allows the princess to show up at this kind of event. It's a win-win-win situation, and it's just a matter of going with the flow.

Andana and others did not expect that they would be able to meet the most noble princess in the world so easily. They did not expect that Masinde would fulfill their wishes even though he knew that there was something wrong with him. Most importantly, the princess who appeared before them completely matched the perfect image they had imagined in their minds. She was the embodiment of wisdom, beauty and nobility.

So much so that Andana risked being exposed and secretly asked Mashind when Mashind left the palace, "Old military advisor, why are you helping me so much?"

"Will you harm the princess?" Mashind asked with a smile. The other party could call him like that, so it was very likely that he had worked under Arvind. Mashind felt somewhat cordial when he heard this.

"No." Andana said sincerely, "I am an old soldier of the Great Yuezhi and I will only protect the princess."

"That's all, I'll send you to see the princess so you don't mess around." Masinde said with a smile, "Besides, the princess needs men to participate in the competition. You are at least stronger than most of the backbones. Andana, can you hurt Pojie with your full strength?"

"Yes, if my incarnation launches a sneak attack, it should be able to do so." Andana said calmly. No matter what, his incarnation has the strength of the sixth level of smelting.

"That's it. You should perform well and get a good ranking for the princess. It's a win-win situation." Masinde said calmly, "Perform well. Your identities will definitely be revealed to those who have ulterior motives. But the princess will protect you, so you don't have to worry about being surrounded and killed. Fight well in the competition. Since you are here, at least get a ranking, for the princess and for you."

Andana didn't understand, but this was actually the fallback plan that Masinde left for these old soldiers who had served at his dock. Relying on this, they would be able to cut off ties with the Kushans in the future.

After all, the Dayuezhi are the Dayuezhi, and the Nangui are the Nangui. They have been in the Han Dynasty for so long that with Masinde's intelligence he had already realized that the Han Dynasty actually had no intention of settling accounts with the Dayuezhi. If the Dayuezhi were willing to surrender, they could be accepted and assimilated, except for the Brahmins.

So this is one of the possible fallback options for the future.

Just because it is not useful now does not mean it will not be useful in the future, just like Kabechi and his people, knowing that they have a group of high-melting veterans from Northern Noble in their own hands, but they decisively turn a blind eye to it, because these favors may not be valuable now, but in the future, when the general trend is set, it will be a step to back down.

Therefore, after Andana entered the Weiyang Palace and met Liu Tong, he devoted himself to training hard in order to win glory for the princess. As a result, now Chen Xi said that the six of them could not beat the six-man group under his command. As the captain of this group of people, how could Andana accept this?
Every one of them present here has come thousands of miles, crossed mountains and rivers, risked their lives, and proved themselves with their strength as the elites of the Great Yuezhi. As a team hand-picked by the princess, how could they lose in front of the princess!
What's more, Andana is not stupid. Among the six people present, except Zhang Wang and Ji Xuan who are the Northern Noble elites who lurked here in the early years and cleaned themselves up, the remaining three definitely have problems. The strength they have shown so far can basically be assumed to be the result of disguise.

In other words, the six Beigui veterans present were most likely at level six or above.

Taking into account that some of the performances of Pratt and Sivani were a little too close to their own incarnations, as well as the situation where the unfortunate child Zena was carried back, it is possible that Gorna was the only original person in the five-member group at that time, and the other four were incarnations.

In this way, it is conservatively estimated that the princess' guard composed of veteran Northern Nobles is led by one seventh-level warrior and five sixth-level warriors. If Pratt and Sivani are really as Andana estimated, there may be three seventh-level warriors and three sixth-level warriors. In this case, even if Chen Hou of the Han Dynasty is a top-level noble who can stand by the side of the princess, it is impossible for him to have such a team composition.

"Greetings, Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Andana did not walk fast. He adjusted his breathing as he moved forward. By the time he was not far from Liu Tong, he had briefly recovered some of the strength to fight against the seventh level. Then he knelt on one knee and saluted sincerely.

"Andana, Lord Chen said that he also formed a team of six people, and that you can't beat the team he formed. What do you think?" Although Liu Tong had a smile on his face, he clearly revealed a desire to win. He looked at Andana with a faint smile and asked.

"I am willing to die for the princess!" Andana said sincerely with his head down. He didn't want this incarnation anymore, but he wanted to make a name for Her Royal Highness the Princess. I came here just for the princess, and now I am fighting for her. How can I lose?

When Andana lowered his head, he had already made up his mind. Even if the opponent today is a boundary-breaker, I will splash his blood. Damn it, ancestors, five branches of nobles, the emperor of Dayuezhi, next I, Andana, will win the victory for the princess of Han Dynasty, please lend me your strength!
With these words, Han Xin and Chen Xi, both knowledgeable military men, felt the difference in Anada. The other party had entered a state of belief inspiration.

"Well, the captain I recruited doesn't believe it." Liu Tong said with a smile.

Liu Tong has been coming here every day recently to train these backbone members she selected. She has put aside all other things. She also wants to participate in such an interesting event as the martial arts performance, and she also wants to win a place.

By the way, Liu Tong actually knew that there were some problems with the six people she chose, but the determination of these six people to fight and struggle for her was witnessed by the sun, the moon, the heaven and the earth, so Liu Tong didn't care much about the problems of these six people. After all, they were all adults, and it was normal for them to have a past that they didn't want others to know.

"Then it's a good opportunity for us to spar with each other." Chen Xi didn't mind. His team of six was also undergoing coordinated training. It was just right for them to come here and spar with other teams to strengthen their coordination. Just practicing was not enough; they still had to spar with each other.

"Andana, let Zhang Wang and the others take a break. When Lord Chen calls his team over later, have a discussion with them. Let me see the results of your recent training." Liu Tong originally wanted to see the results of the intensive training, and Chen Xi's words were exactly what he wanted.

"Notify the Immortal Zhenxing and ask him to build a secret realm in Lanchi Palace." Liu Tong turned to the attendant beside him and said, "We will have a competition in this secret realm, and it will be a good opportunity to see the results of our recent training. Andana, if you can lead others to defeat Lord Chen's team, I have several sets of high-quality soft armor, which I will give to you as a reward."

"I will live up to the princess's trust." Andana said calmly, having already decided in his heart to win a glorious victory for Liu Tong.

"Okay, you go and organize Zhang Wang and the others to rest for an hour and replenish their nutrition. How about we start sparring after two hours?" Liu Tong made arrangements to Andana, then looked at Chen Xi.

"Two hours should be enough rest anyway." Chen Xi nodded, "Does Marquis Huaiyin want to have some prizes or something?"

"I like gambling, but I won't gamble with the God of Wealth." Han Xin curled his lips and said, he was not stupid. There would be no excitement if he won the gambling with the God of Wealth, because when you see that the money you won was printed out by the other party on the spot, all the excitement and excitement would be gone.

After hearing these philosophical words, Liu Tong, who was originally preparing to bet something excitedly to earn some benefits from Chen Xi, became embarrassed. Then, at this moment, Si Niang ran over excitedly, "Tongtong, Tongtong, how much should I bet on your side to win?"

Han Xin was speechless when he saw the clear eyes of Si Niang, which were not polluted by wisdom. You didn't remember a word I said before. Is there any meaning in gambling with the God of Wealth? No matter how much the God of Wealth loses, he will write you a note on the spot. Is there anything exciting about this kind of victory?

Or to put it more directly, when you see this situation, don’t you feel that kind of cold mockery blowing in your face?

"What's wrong? What's wrong, Marquis Huaiyin? And Tongtong, why are you looking at me like that?" Si Niang looked at Liu Tong and Han Xin with her clear and innocent big eyes in confusion. She felt that the two of them definitely did not have any good intentions at this time, and it felt like she was looking at a fool.

Following the gaze of Liu Tong and Han Xin, Si Niang saw Gorna who was still training in the direction of their gaze. Well, he was the elite of Beigui, so it was normal for him to be a little stupid.

"Si Niang, do you think there is any point in gambling with the God of Wealth?" Liu Tong stroked the back of Si Niang's neck, pulled Si Niang over, and said in a somewhat educational tone.

"Why is it meaningless? Is Lord Chen's money fake?" Si Niang asked with a strange look on her face, then turned her head to look at Chen Xi and asked, "Lord Chen, will you give me fake money?"

"You are insulting me." Chen Xi looked at Si Niang speechlessly and said, "How could I give you fake money? Just be direct. Ask others to get some gold and I will write a note by hand. See which one others believe more. Really, how could I give you fake money?"

Although it is a bit outrageous, the gold bricks of Old Yuan's family are indeed not as reliable as Chen Xi's exchange tickets, because gold bricks often cannot buy certain strategic materials, but with Chen Xi's exchange tickets, as long as you can find what you want, this thing can really be bought.

"Then why not make money?" Si Niang looked at Han Xin and asked, "Whether it's handwritten or something else, it's all money. What's the difference?"

"The money won in this way doesn't give me the excitement of victory." Han Xin said truthfully. Did they gamble for the money? No, it was for the excitement, for the stimulation. After watching Chen Xi print money on the spot after losing the bet, all the feelings were gone, just like a basin of cold water poured down on him.

"I don't understand it at all." Si Niang scratched her hair. "The money I win can be used to buy some food and drinks. Lord Chen won't win my money, right? If I lose, he won't confiscate my gambling money, right? You probably won't care about the little money I invested, right?"

Chen Xi was silenced by Si Niang. She was worthy of being the kind of person who could record the secret mirror to worship cookies in the Temple of the God of Agriculture and then ask for more New Year's money. I felt a little embarrassed for doing this.

"How much do you bet?" Chen Xi was silent for a while and asked Si Niang.

Si Niang took out a stack of odds and ends from her sleeve, some big and some small. It looked like it should be the living expenses that were not spent this year. After counting them, there was still more than 6 million yuan left.

"That's all I have. Once it's spent, new living expenses will come in a while." Si Niang said excitedly.

"Just think of it as giving you New Year's money in advance." Chen Xi sighed, took out a stack of bills from his sleeve, and counted six. This was the money to make up for the difference after the second five-year plan was completed...

To put it simply, because the total was not an integer, Chen Xi added a sum of money to round it off to save trouble. To be honest, most of the time, Chen Xi lived in this way. After all, no one paid him a salary, he was the one who allocated funds to others.

Han Xin was silent for a while, then he stretched out his hand to take out money from his sleeve. What's the point of having a face? If you gamble with the God of Wealth, you don't have to pay if you lose, and if you win, you will get it directly. So why not gamble? Just go for it!

"Marquis Huaiyin and the princess should say goodbye." Chen Xi said with a dry laugh, "It's almost enough. Don't bother with it. You don't need it. Besides, gambling is not good."

"What a pity, I have lived for four hundred years, but I don't see the world's affairs as clearly as a fool." Han Xin said leisurely, and when Si Niang heard the fool's words, it was as if some program was activated, and her eyes quickly became sharp. Han Xin also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and ran away quickly, leaving behind a Zhenxing on the spot. Well, Han Xin has also learned to be smart, and when he goes out, he directly uses his mind to trap the immortal.

Si Niang glanced at Zhen Xing who appeared here. She had just cheated a sum of living expenses and was too lazy to chase Han Xin. She would just deal with him at dinner time in the evening.

On the other side, Meng Huai and others were also practicing combination skills at the training ground. Although they didn't know why Chen Xi suddenly appeared from a corner and selected them as his team, it was obvious that their actual combat ability was not outstanding. Among the six people, five were at the fifth level, and only Meng Huai himself was at the sixth level.

Although this strength is considered top-notch in the world, it is actually somewhat unqualified to form a team for Chen Xi. With Chen Xi's identity, it should not be a problem for him to form a team led by a seventh-level player and all the top sixth-level players.

As a result, no one knew what Chen Xi was thinking. After watching their operations, he suddenly notified them that he would recruit them as members of the Chen Hou Group for this grand martial arts performance. Originally, Meng Huai thought that there were many members in the Chen Hou Group and they were recruited only as backups. However, when they arrived, he found that there were only six of them.

This made them very excited, but also somewhat worried. As the only team in Chen Hou's group, if they lost, it would not be shame for them, but it would be Chen Xi's people who would be embarrassed.

After all, he is the King of Agriculture and the God of Wealth, the pillar that provides such a good life for them and everyone in the world. To put it bluntly, these days, as long as you know what Chen Xi has done, there is no pressure to die for Chen Xi. So when they found out that they were the only team under Lord Chen, Meng Huai and the others all entered a state of burning.

"Marquis Chen asked us to go to Weiyang Palace to compete with the princess' team." Meng Huai was sweating, and his heat was billowing in the cold winter. "We have almost finished training our combat methods. Let's compete and see the results."

"We must not lose this battle!" Wang Kui said solemnly, "We are the only team of Lord Chen!"

I managed to get up, but I didn't have any saved drafts. What should I do? I feel like I'm done for!
