Start with a red name

Chapter 183: Inhumanity (asking for monthly ticket)
Geng Xuan thought to himself that Jiang Hongyi's guess on this point was quite accurate.

According to his standards, neither of the couple could escape.

He can take advantage of this last window of opportunity and slowly bring out their special value through the topic of "Suicide Squad".

He said everything seemingly without any ulterior motive, revealing all the secrets of the couple.

But it is actually the smartest approach.

If it was really as his wife Mu Qingzhu thought, he would cover up and deceive people about their identities.

That's when one's cleverness backfires.

At this moment, Geng Xuan didn't say anything more to Jiang Hongyi, but just answered his original question.

“Of course there is danger, but it is definitely not to the extent that you will have to face the opponent’s Xuanyou Iron Cavalry head-on.

Even if you are willing, I still won't feel at ease.

In Minzhou, not everyone can join the Shield Army, right?"

Jiang Hongyi nodded and said, "Without rigorous training, without sufficient strength, and with the determination to die, you cannot enter the Shield Army."

After hearing the conversation between the two, the crowd, which was originally a little agitated, calmed down again.

Geng Xuan no longer looked at Jiang Hongyi and his wife. His eyes moved across the figures one after another in the square.

Ask: "Does anyone else have anything to say? If so, please say it now. If not, I will pick someone."

There was dead silence.

No one responded to his words.

Even Jiang Hongyi and his wife kept their mouths shut.

After a while, Geng Xuan said, "Okay, I'll start selecting people now."

As he spoke, Geng Xuan's gaze once again fell on the senior executives of Qingyuan Group and Santong Group behind Qi Mingcheng and Fang Jintang.

When his eyes fell on their group for the first time, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

The conversation between Geng Xuan and Lu Yan just now has made them fully understand that this "Su Ruiliang" has extremely strong ill intentions towards their group.

Some even believe that the root cause of the chaos currently appearing in Qingyuan Collection lies with them.

——Just now, Lu Yan, who was forced into a corner, admitted this very honestly before his death.

There is no need to wash it.

However, they were still surprised that "Su Ruiliang" immediately set his sights on them and regarded them as the first target of this "suicide army".

Everyone is resistant and even opposed to Su Ruiliang's actions.

But all of this is just everyone's inner psychological activities, and no one dares to jump out and say anything.

Geng Xuan didn't know, nor did he care about what these people were thinking.

They might think that Geng Xuan had something against their entire group, which would be a real misunderstanding.

After taking great pains to complete the previous work, Geng Xuan's criteria for selecting people became very pure.

No matter what the other party's status or position is, or what his cultivation level is, he only looks at the intensity of the red name above the other party's head.

Perhaps this selection method is not perfect.

Some more damn scumbags will be missed.

He will also include some people with purer hearts in his selection.

——Yuanzhou has never lacked people with conscience and justice. While maintaining a normal personality, they secretly do some righteous deeds such as robbing the rich to help the poor, punishing evil and eliminating evil. However, in the very mechanical judgment of the red name, it does not matter whether the person killed is a good person or a bad person. As long as the person is killed, the nature is almost the same.

But this is the easiest way to operate and the one with the least chance of error among the many methods Geng Xuan can use.

Amidst everyone's nervousness and anxiety, Geng Xuan extended his arm and began the formal selection process.

He pointed his finger at one of them and said, "You."

This man's name is Xiong Bin, one of the masters of Santongji, the president of Mihang, and he has reached the initial stage of marrow refining.

He was filled with surprise; he didn't expect that he would be the first person chosen.

However, following Geng Xuan's pointing, his heart, which had been pounding wildly, gradually calmed down.

He even took the initiative to walk out of the crowd and stand next to Geng Xuan.

Geng Xuan also thought it was good that he behaved so tactfully.

He now just wants to finish the current matter smoothly and not cause any more trouble.

"you."

"you."

"you."

"you……"

He called upon all the soldiers and generals and assigned them to each one of them.

Geng Xuan's arms kept moving, pointing at one figure after another.

With Xiong Bin's suggestion, all the people who were called out took the initiative to walk out of the crowd and stand next to Xiong Bin.

There was no need for anyone to remind or admonish them; they automatically lined up in an orderly manner.

If there is a sharp-tongued instructor at this time, he will definitely not be able to help but mock.

"Hey, aren't you naturally undisciplined and can't stand being bound by rules? Don't you all understand this?!"

……

The first few people pointed out by Geng Xuan were all masters of the marrow refining schools of Santongji and Qingyuanji.

Everyone thought that the marrow refining masters in the two markets would not be able to escape this disaster.

But when there were only two masters of refining marrow, Geng Xuan's finger bypassed them and pointed to those people next to them who were not masters of refining marrow but were the leaders of a force in the two markets.

As these people came out from the crowd behind Fang Jintang and Qi Mingcheng one by one, they automatically formed a neat queue beside Geng Xuan, led by Xiong Bin, who was the first to come out.

The group of people that originally seemed quite large behind Fang Jintang and Qi Mingcheng quickly became sparse.

During this process, one of the two marrow refining masters who had been deliberately bypassed by Geng Xuan and made people think that they had escaped danger was killed by Geng Xuan in a surprise attack and was hit by Geng Xuan's finger again.

"you."

This sudden change not only made the marrow refining master's heart beat wildly.

Even the others who witnessed the whole process were very surprised.

One can't help but wonder in one's heart why "Su Ruiliang" did this, was it just to amuse people?
Geng Xuan didn't care what others thought. When Fang Jintang and Qi Mingcheng were left with only one master of refining marrow and five leaders of other forces, Geng Xuan didn't care what others thought.

He turned away from these six people and began to look at the other people in the square.

His fingers kept moving, pointing at one person after another.

Because the distance was too far, in order to avoid misunderstanding, every time he pointed his finger, he would considerately add just the right amount of force.

A point of energy that was clearly visible to everyone flew through the air and landed accurately in front of the forehead of the person he had chosen.

Then it disappeared.

In addition to Geng Xuan who was calling out people, he would occasionally turn around and suddenly select one of the people standing alone behind Fang Jintang and Qi Mingcheng, which made people feel confused.

In the entire square, the only sounds were the voices that Geng Xuan spoke every time he pointed at someone and the constant sound of footsteps. There was no other noise at all.

During this process, Jiang Hongyi and Mu Qingzhu were also chosen by Geng Xuan one after another.

Mu Qingzhu seemed to be about to muster up the courage to say something, but was stopped by Jiang Hongyi.

He didn't even give her a chance to say a word, and dragged her along, silently entering the queue.

Geng Xuan looked at Jiang Hongyi deeply and continued to "select troops and generals".

One by one, the people who were chosen stepped out automatically.

Just when everyone thought that what happened tonight would end smoothly in such an atmosphere as "Su Ruiliang" selected three hundred "suicide soldiers".

The accident happened again.

Because of Geng Xuan's finger, they did not continue to move in a small area among the group of more than 800 soldiers.

Instead, he moved his arm to the right, heading towards the group of thousands of elderly, weak, women and children.

Ever since Geng Xuan entered the selection phase, this group of people should be the one with the least psychological pressure on the scene.

Because the vast majority of them have very low cultivation strength.

There are many people who, even if they have good cultivation, have almost zero actual combat ability.

All their practical experience basically came from the inner house, where they had brief exchanges and discussions with their own family members, and they had never really fought with others.

Another small part, even if they have good combat capabilities.

But either he is old or too old.

Or there may be hidden dangers, diseases, or disabilities in the body.

According to normal people's thinking, no matter what "Su Ruiliang"'s selection criteria are, since they are the "Suicide Squad", there must be requirements for basic strength, right?
Then, since this group contains too many elderly, weak, sick and disabled people, they will naturally be ignored by "Su Ruiliang".

But the development of reality made them realize.

The thinking of "Su Ruiliang" is not something that normal people can predict.

This is not a normal person.

"Su Ruiliang" moved his arm, and a ray of energy shot out from his fingers, flew through the void, and exploded in front of the forehead of an old woman over sixty years old.

As this ray of energy exploded on the old woman's forehead, Geng Xuan's "you" happened to reach her ears.

The old woman was stunned.

The people around the old woman were stunned.

Everyone in the square was stunned.

Geng Xuan waited for a while, and when he saw the old woman didn't move, he frowned and said, "Why don't you come out?"

The old woman came back to her senses and looked at Geng Xuan with an expression of disbelief. She said, "Sir, are you mistaken?"

Geng Xuan said calmly, "I'm not mistaken, it's you. Come out on your own."

The old woman was shocked and said:
"But...but I am just an old woman who is about to die!

I only practiced for a few years when I was young, but now my muscles and bones are old and I can't even beat an ordinary adult. How can I join the "Suicide Squad"?

What's more, you have chosen all the men, so why are you including an old woman like me now? "

Geng Xuan frowned.

At this moment, a man in his early forties, who looked honest and kind, stepped out from the crowd of soldiers and said in a deep voice:

"Boss Su, I'll go in place of my mother."

Geng Xuan turned his head to look at him and asked, "Is she your mother?"

The man nodded and said:
"Yes, I lost my father when I was young, and it was my mother who raised me.

I don't know why Gang Leader Su chose my mother, but I'm much stronger than her, so please let me take her place."

Everyone present was surprised by Su Ruiliang's unexpected move again.

Everyone admired and agreed with the man's actions from the bottom of their hearts.

Although, the world is in chaos.

But some basic and simple emotions have not been erased, such as filial piety and loyalty. The more corrupt the world is, the more precious they become.

As long as he is not a mentally twisted pervert, and as long as he has no direct involvement with the person or the incident, everyone can't help but cheer for such people and things.

Everyone also felt that there was absolutely no reason for "Su Ruiliang" to disagree with the man's request.

But they were wrong.

……

Geng Xuan stared at the man for a few seconds and shook his head.

"No."

The shortest words showed his most resolute attitude.

The man was shocked.

Everyone present was shocked.

The man's mother, the old woman, was stunned for a moment, then suddenly sat down on the ground and started rolling around without any scruples.

She kicked her legs and cried, crying:

"Oh my God, you are so blind... You might as well take me away... In this world, do you still want to let people live... You don't even leave a way for people to live... You are going to force us, an orphan and a widow, to death..."

In a short while, she was covered with dust.

Geng Xuan took a quick look and didn't look at it again.

He looked at the seemingly honest and kind man and said, "You'd better go and persuade him."

The moment his mother made her choice, the man lowered his head and said nothing.

No response was made to Geng Xuan's request.

Geng Xuan took a deep look at the man, then looked at the old woman who was rolling on the ground, and said:

"You're sure you can't come, are you?"

His voice was not loud, but under his control, he was sure that everyone in the square could hear it clearly.

The old woman who was rolling on the ground and throwing a tantrum seemed not to have heard anything at all, and was completely immersed in her own world.

Geng Xuan waited for two breaths, but there was no response from the old woman.

He raised his hand again calmly and pointed at the old woman.

Immediately afterwards, another ray of powerful energy flew out from the fingertips.

This ray of powerful energy, condensed as if it were real, swept through the void and once again flew in front of the forehead of the old woman rolling on the ground.

However, this time, the powerful energy did not dissipate before reaching the old woman's body, but went straight into the center of her eyebrows.

next moment.

The old woman who was rolling around and crying became quiet.

He lay quietly on the ground without making any sound. This sudden change shocked everyone present.

"Mother! --Mother!"

The old woman's sudden abnormal behavior made the man, who had been keeping his head down and keeping silent, realize something. He turned his head to look at his mother, then ran over shouting.

He quickly walked to the old woman lying on the ground, and then he hugged his mother who had completely lost her life, and howled in pain and hatred.

He suddenly turned his head to look at Geng Xuan, his eyes already red, and said with hatred:

"'Su Ruiliang', you are not a human, you are not a fucking human!!"

As he said that, he picked up his mother and rushed towards "Su Ruiliang".

……

【36 points of good luck and 1 point of bad luck.】

Geng Xuan watched the man start, run, and quickly approach him.

Geng Xuan raised his hand, arm, and pointed.

Another ray of powerful energy shot out from the fingertips.

The mighty force that seemed to be condensed into substance swept through the void.

This time, its speed in the air was not very fast.

If the man wanted to dodge, he would have had enough time.

But he looked at the powerful energy shooting straight towards his forehead, without making any move to dodge, but continued to pounce towards Geng Xuan quickly.

Before the powerful energy penetrated his brows, he even had time to utter a simple and straightforward curse at Geng Xuan.

"'Su Ruiliang', fuck you!"

As soon as he finished cursing, a powerful force rushed into his brows.

The man who rushed forward holding his mother suddenly lost control of his body and fell to the ground.

A ball of red gas, not too thick nor too light, swept out from the top of his head and sank into the center of Geng Xuan's eyebrows.

[Capture the remaining energy, do you want to refine it? ]

"Yes."

Geng Xuan paused for a moment and made a choice.

【16 points of good luck. 】

……

The sub-zero cold wind blew across the square again.

This time, the bodies of the mother and son who fell silently in the middle of the square, whom many people did not even recognize, brought a chill that was even deeper and stronger than the previous time when Geng Xuan casually killed two well-known figures in Qingyuan Group.

Originally, it was because Jiang Hongyi casually revealed some of the situations of "beating grass valley" in Minzhou.

In contrast, many people's impression of "Su Ruiliang" has improved a lot.

Now, everyone admits it in their hearts.

I am blind.

Just as the man cursed, this "Su Ruiliang" is not a human being!
If he were a human being, how could he be so unkind and unfeeling?!
Some people even think that most of the Xuanyou cavalry who went to Minzhou to "rob the valley" were forced to do so.

As long as the food rations in the two states of Xuanyou can barely fill their stomachs, most people will not eat their own kind.

Compared with him, this "Su Ruiliang" really has no humanity at all!

In the dead silence, Geng Xuan shifted his gaze from the mother and son on the ground to the people in the square, and said calmly:
"continue."

No one responded.

Geng Xuan didn't need anyone's response.

He continued to move his finger, pointing at the crowd.

Those who were chosen by him walked out from the crowd one after another.

Most of the time, the people he chose were still among the group of soldiers.

But there are also many women and elderly people.

There are even people with disabilities.

This time, no matter who it was, as long as Geng Xuan pointed it out, they would obediently walk out of the crowd.

No more unnecessary explanations and struggles.

……

Geng Xuan moved his finger and pointed at another person.

This man walked out of the crowd honestly.

He moved his fingers, ready to continue pointing at people.

At this moment, Qi Mingcheng whispered a reminder: "Boss Su, this is the 300th person."

Geng Xuan was stunned for a moment and stopped.

When the 300th person was about to take his place, he suddenly asked:
"Does the three hundred people you counted for me include that old woman?"

Qi Mingcheng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No."

Of course, what he counted was the number of living people that Geng Xuan finally selected.

Geng Xuan said, "Then I'll choose one more."

As he spoke, he said to the man who was about to join the "Suicide Squad":

"Go back, my 300 places are full."

The man was stunned for a moment, not knowing what this "Su Ruiliang" was crazy about again.

But for him, this was naturally good news from heaven.

He immediately fled, quickly leaving Geng Xuan's vicinity and returning to his original position.

But this person's departure also gave another person great hope.

This person was the one who entered the "Suicide Squad" before Geng Xuan selected this person.

That is the person who was demoted from 299th to 300th because of the old woman’s “queue-cutting”.

But since the old woman had "tested the law with her own body", this person did not dare to speak to Geng Xuan in person to argue.

He just looked at Qi Mingcheng with eyes full of hope and pleading, hoping that the master of Qingyuan Collection would speak for him this time.

Qi Mingcheng saw his overly scorching gaze.

He hesitated for a moment, then said to Geng Xuan:
"Boss Su, if that's the case, then shouldn't the second-to-last one also retreat?"

As he spoke, he looked at the body of the man lying on the ground not far away.

Just now, it was not just the old woman who died at Geng Xuan's hands, but also her son.

An old woman can fill a spot.

Her son, who is more capable than her in all aspects, is naturally more qualified.

It’s a pity that he still couldn’t keep up with Geng Xuan’s thinking.

Geng Xuan shook his head and said:
“Only this old woman is on my list of candidates, and her son is not.

If he were alive, I would not choose him.

If he dies, I will not use him to fill a quota."

His answer surprised Qi Mingcheng again.

For a moment, Qi Mingcheng really wanted to ask, what are your selection criteria?
It’s okay for living people, but there are also differences for dead people!
Can you not be so abstract?!
However, this thought only flashed through his mind before he suppressed it.

He doesn't want to cause any more trouble.

What happened tonight was already enough.

He really didn't want to continue wasting time on this matter.

He didn't understand what "Su Ruiliang" was thinking, nor did he want to understand.

So he just signaled with his eyes.

This forced the person who was full of hope and begging to continue to stay in the ranks of the "Suicide Squad" unwillingly.

……

Geng Xuan turned around and looked at Qi Mingcheng and Fang Jintang again, and the first sentence he said made their hearts skip a beat.

"If you strictly follow my selection criteria, you two should also be on this team."

Just as the two were feeling anxious, Geng Xuan paused for a moment and continued:
"I will take these 299 selected people away now. The rest will be handed over to you. Can you two control the situation in Qingyuanji?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Mingcheng and Fang Jintang couldn't help but look at each other.

They both understood that the "control" that "Su Ruiliang" asked this time was not the same standard as before.

Instead, he strictly followed the military rules and kept the Qingyuan Group under tight control.

Not to mention that there must be no more cases of tipping off Wu Yi's camp, even the lax discipline must be completely eliminated to the extent that military rules and regulations can be enforced.

They both had a feeling that if they could not achieve this level, their special value in the Santong and Qingyuan collections would disappear.

So, what "Su Ruiliang" said just now was not a threat, but a fact.

They may really be assigned to the "suicide squad".

Although "Su Ruiliang" has already said that this is not a place where they will definitely die, and they will not be arranged to use their flesh and blood to block the Xuanyou Iron Cavalry.

But of course it is better to stay away from such places as far as possible.

No one would take the initiative to come here if they have nothing to do.

Before tonight, this question would have been difficult to answer.

Even if they are fully determined and have the most resolute attitude, they still have no idea whether this matter can be fully carried forward.

But that was before tonight.

The way "Su Ruiliang" selected the "suicide soldiers" seemed to them to be completely random and disorganized.

But at this moment, they were surprised to find that those who were most likely to oppose them openly or secretly, those who were capable of acting as obstacles, those who were the most troublesome troublemakers...

Almost all of them were captured by "Su Ruiliang" and incorporated into the "Suicide Squad".

Even if there are still a few "slipping through the net".

Fang Jintang and Qi Mingcheng believed that they, who were also very smart, would only show a more resolute support attitude than them in this matter and would never dare to jump out and sing a different tune.

The biggest obstacle just disappeared.

The two even realized that as long as they used some tricks, their power in Santongji and Qingyuanji would rise to a new level.

However, now they all just want to honestly complete the tasks assigned by "Su Ruiliang" and dare not have such suicidal thoughts at all.

After the two of them expressed their opinions seriously, Geng Xuan looked at the two bodies that had already become cold and hard in the field and said:
"Please arrange some people to bury them properly. If there are any other family members, please tell me and don't make things difficult for them."

After hearing "Su Ruiliang" specifically explain this matter, Fang Jintang and Qi Mingcheng both looked puzzled.

But they all agreed seriously.

Geng Xuan suddenly felt a little bored and waved his hand, then handed the task of "escorting" the 299 "new members" to Feng Yu and others.

Soon, the group returned to the Giant Bear Gang’s base under the “escort” of a group of Xuanyou Iron Cavalry and a group of Giant Bear Gang members.

As they left, the originally silent square was quickly filled with a buzz of people talking and sighing in low voices.

Qi Mingcheng glanced around coldly and said, "Haven't you stood there long enough? Why don't you go home and sleep?!"

Everyone was stunned, and then they realized that they had nothing to do now.

The crowd quickly dispersed.

……

Less than half an hour after returning to the Giant Bear Gang's base, Qi Mingcheng came to ask for a meeting.

"The man's name is Xiao Fu. He is not good at socializing, but he has a good talent for cultivation and is very strong. He runs a weapons shop.

His mother's name is unknown. People call her Xiao Fu Ma in a friendly way, or Xiao Lao Po Zi in a casual way.

Because he raised his child alone, he has a very tough temperament and is well-known in the surrounding area.

However, the most famous thing is another thing.

Many years ago, when Xiao Fu married his first wife, the relationship between his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was very bad.

About a year later, news came that Xiao Fu's wife had died of illness.

No one thought it was strange at the time, but later many signs indicated that this was most likely related to Xiao Fu's mother.

Later, Xiao Fu married four more wives. The longest one lived in his family for three years, and the shortest one only lived for half a year.

Later, no one dared to marry their daughter to the Xiao family, so Xiao Fu's mother arranged to find a concubine for him from outside, saying that at least there must be a male heir to carry on the Xiao family's bloodline.

Those concubines were basically brought into the Xiao family through the side door in sedan chairs when they were taken in. Outsiders had basically never seen what they looked like.

……

I just went to the Xiao family and saw that there were only two concubines that Xiao Fu had taken in this year.

But none of the things from the past are there.

I told Xiao Fu and his mother about their situation, and they just said they didn’t want anything and just wanted to leave.”

Geng Xuan was silent for a moment, then said to Qi Mingcheng, "Please pay more attention to this matter... Let's leave it at that."

　I have to express my small emotion. Among the scenarios where conflicts between couples are most likely to break out, one of them is that their young children have to go to the emergency room with a high fever in the middle of the night.

　　For example, this time, my little daughter had a high fever in the middle of the night, and the highest fever reached 40 degrees... I won’t go into the details of the process, but fortunately, everyone was relatively restrained in the end and realized what the most important thing was.

　　Please give me a monthly ticket. Please give me a monthly ticket. Please give me a monthly ticket.

　　The number of words updated today is not enough, and I cannot guarantee that I can update 10,000 words a day in the next one or two days, but I will definitely make up for it later.

　　Despite this, I still hope that everyone can vote for me more monthly.
