Chapter 41: The Road to the Emperor
"Kou Zhong, Ziling? How did you end up here? Li Jing looked at Kou Zhong, who came in with his head drooping, and Xu Ziling, who remained indifferent, with a look of surprise, and wondered.
"Brother Li!?" For Li Jing to appear here, Shuanglong was also full of stunned expressions, Li Jing was not only half of their masters, but also had an experience in Liyang, so that the two sides formed a deep friendship, but at this moment, Li Xuan saw Li Jing beside him, or let Kou Zhong inexplicably give birth to a bitter taste, Li Jing's talent, Kou Zhong knows, from Li Jing, he also learned a lot of things, it is because of this, he knows Li Jing's ability.
Since they are ready to compete for domination in the world, they can't rely on the two of them alone, they must have talents, a large number of talents, Li Jing is undoubtedly very in line with the standard of the word talent, but right now, looking at Li Xuan who appeared here, Kou Zhong's heart was filled with inexplicable bitterness.
"Pharmacist, I have something to talk to them about." Li Xuan picked up the teacup, took a sip gently, and said indifferently.
"Then I'll retire first." Li Jing nodded, glanced nostalgically at the Zhenlong chess game, got up, nodded at the two, and left.
Looking at the back of Li Jing leaving, Kou Zhong couldn't help but smile bitterly, sat opposite Li Xuan with a golden knife, and said with a wry smile: "Why do I feel suppressed every time I see Li Ye?" ”
Li Xuan's gaze swept over Kou Zhong, without the trembling that he had when he met him in the past, Li Xuan knew that Kou Zhong wanted to be on an equal footing with himself in terms of momentum, at least to prove that he had the courage to face himself at the moment, and to dominate the world, this courage to be fearless of anyone was necessary.
"Because you're not in the right mind!" Li Xuan was not displeased, and seemed to acquiesce to Kou Zhong's attitude, and said lightly.
"Huh?" Kou Zhong looked at Li Xuan suspiciously, with puzzlement in his eyes.
"You have enough ability. If he is a commander, he is by no means inferior to any excellent commander in the past and present. Li Xuan looked at Kou Zhong affirmatively and said, "You Kou Zhong have this potential, but you are just a commander, as a hegemon." With your character, it doesn't fit! ”
Kou Zhong straightened up and said lightly: "If Kou Zhong remembers correctly, this is the third time I have met with Li Ye, right?" A pair of tiger eyes looked at Li Xuan with a burning look: "Master Li is so sure that he has seen me clearly?" ”
Li Xuan stretched out his hand, and behind him, a sword guard respectfully handed a stack of papers to Li Xuan, and Li Xuan handed these things to Kou Zhong.
"This is ......" Kou Zhong took the paper and flipped through it. It's just that his eyes quickly became solemn, and on this piece of paper, every battle, experience and person he has come into contact with since the two of them debuted, everything is clearly recorded, and among them, there are even some secrets that should only be known to the two of them. Kou Zhong, who was watching, glared for a while and looked at Li Xuan in shock. Suddenly, there was a feeling of being stripped naked, his throat was a little dry, and he looked at Li Xuan and said astringently: "These...... Li Ye is really ...... to us Care about it. ”
"Don't be surprised." Li Xuan looked at the two of them indifferently, as if he was saying something very ordinary: "In this world, I have detailed information in my hands for all the characters who can be seen by me. You and Ziling, the three sons of Li Valve, are the people who are qualified to enter my eyes, although they can't completely control their every move, but the general direction can basically be known. The soldiers and horses have not moved, intelligence first, and they have to compete for the world, Kou Zhong, how much do you know about the heroes of the world? ”
"This ......" Kou Zhong was a little dumbfounded, didn't he say that the soldiers and horses went first before the grain and grass were moved? Why look at Li Xuan's meaning, the importance of intelligence is even placed before grain and grass, but I have to say that the information about the two of them in his hand alone did bring a lot of psychological impact to Kou Zhong.
Li Xuan ignored Kou Zhong's surprise, and just said lightly: "In many cases, people will make different choices according to their own personalities and preferences, I said, the faces of the two of you are not extraordinary, when I said these words, it was not perfunctory or to obtain the secret of longevity, and the facts have also proved that the two of you have enough potential, but it is precisely from this information that I can see that the two of you are not the material to dominate the world." ”
"Humph!" Kou Zhong snorted and didn't answer.
"Not convinced?" Li Xuan looked at Xu Ziling: "Ziling has a tranquil personality, especially after cultivating the growth and life secret, there is more of a sense of ethereal and dusty, you at this moment, I feel more like a hermit in the mountains!" ”
Xu Ziling was silent, since the cultivation of the longevity recipe was successful, he did often have similar feelings, if it weren't for Kou Zhong's fetters, maybe he would have chosen to retreat to the mountains and forests at this moment to avoid the strife in the world.
"As for you, Kou Zhong." Li Xuan looked at Kou Zhong and said indifferently: "Personality jumps, dare to think and dare to do, but every time something is successful, the original interest will be lost, the battle for domination of the world, in your opinion, is just a game, you may enjoy the process, but the result is not important to you, and even when you need it, you will not hesitate to choose to give up!" ”
"Is there a difference?" A flash of surprise flashed in Kou Zhong's eyes, this was indeed the truest portrayal of his heart.
"There's a big difference!" Li Xuan said coldly: "The road of the emperor is not easy to walk, this is a road of no return, and it is also a road full of thorns, there are many people fighting, but in the end there is only one person who can reach the end, from the moment you set foot on this road, it also means that you will have no way back, or lose to the bridle, or enjoy the world alone after success!" ”
"This road is not easy to walk, because while stepping on this road, in addition to the struggle from scratch, you are also destined to lose a lot of things on this road, brothers, friends, lovers, so, the emperor is lonely, you must learn to enjoy this loneliness without being eroded by loneliness!"
Kou Zhong didn't seem to understand, raised his head, looked at Li Xuan, suddenly had some indescribable bitterness in his heart, and looked back at Xu Ziling, although the two were still intimate, but Kou Zhong could feel that as his ambition continued to expand, the two had begun to drift away in two different directions, and that feeling of loneliness, although it was not heavy, he could already clearly experience it.
"Do you know why Li Jingming knew your ambitions, but in the end he didn't choose you, but chose me, who was also self-made?" Li Xuan looked at Kou Zhongdao.
Shaking his head, this is also where Kou Zhong is puzzled, if Li Jing takes refuge in Li Valve or Song Valve or something, it is to pursue a better future, he can understand it, but why he chose Li Xuan instead of helping him fight the world, Kou Zhong can't understand it, and his heart is even more bitter.
"Because I gave him a glimpse of tomorrow!" Li Xuan said.
"Tomorrow!?" Kou Zhong was puzzled.
"Yes, it is tomorrow, in the near future, I can let him lead 100,000 soldiers, dominate the world, and give full play to his talents and lofty ambitions." Li Xuan said loudly.
"Do you want to draw bread to satisfy your hunger? I can too. Kou Zhong pursed his lips and said unconvinced.
"No, you can't." Li Xuan shook his head and said categorically: "Your mentality, I can see that Li Jing is a genius in the world, and I can also see that participating in this chess game of dominating the world with the mentality of a game is destined to be a game with no ending, follow you, I can't see tomorrow, at least, I can give him a picture cake to look forward to the future of beauty, but you are even stingy with this picture cake!" Relying on brotherly love to bind is unrealistic for real talents like Li Jing, because in their hearts, they have a higher pursuit than personal emotion, they want to realize themselves, and you are a ship destined to be silent, no matter how gorgeous it is, in the eyes of people with real vision, it can't hide the damage from the roots, even if someone is willing to get on your boat, it is just to find a place where you can show your self-worth. ”
Hearing the end, Kou Zhong couldn't help but smile bitterly, but the previous look of contempt was gone.
"What, this is depressing?" Li Xuan chuckled and shook his head, a look of disappointment flashing in his eyes.
"Li Ye told me this, why on earth?" Kou Zhong raised his head, he was indomitable by nature, and the stronger he became, the stronger he became, it was naturally impossible for him to be depressed by a few simple words, but he didn't understand what Li Xuan's purpose was in doing this?
"Let you see yourself clearly!" Li Xuan said coldly: "Now you don't even have the qualifications to be my opponent!" ”
"Opponent!?" Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at Li Xuan in surprise, but they didn't expect the other party to have such high expectations for themselves, although there was still some atmosphere, but in their hearts, they couldn't help but feel excited, the two of them were born in the market, even if they have a good martial arts now, in the eyes of many people, they are still characters who can't get on the stage, and it is the first time that a character like Li Xuan has such high praise for the two of them, although there is no beautiful word, and even from this meeting to the present, what I heard was the other party's merciless criticism, But just the word opponent is better than any praise in the world.
"This is the case, go to Jingling, go to Du Fuwei, I will soon go to Jingling to help Jingling defeat Du Fuwei!" Li Xuan said indifferently.
"Uh......" Shuanglong was a little stunned, looked at Li Xuan incredulously and said, "Are you sure that Li Ye is asking us to help Daddy make enemies against you instead of helping Li Ye to deal with Daddy?" "Du Fuwei has 100,000 Jianghuai troops, and there are only 20,000 horses, the two sides are already disproportionate, how to listen to the meaning of Li Xuan's words, but he thinks Du Fuwei is weak.
"Of course!" A confident look flashed on Li Xuan's face: "Now you, the pattern is too small, and your vision is too low, let me take this opportunity to fight and teach you what war is!" ”
"Good!" Kou Zhong was also aroused by the arrogance in his chest, stood up, and said loudly: "Then let Kou Zhong come and learn about Li Ye's methods!" ”
"That's what it sounds like." Li Xuan smiled slightly, got up and said, "Now, follow me to do one thing first, and get out when you're done!" ”
"Uh......" Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were slightly stunned, they were still opponents just now, why did they suddenly seem to be downgraded to a small guy?
The two glanced at each other, could see the wry smile and helplessness in each other's eyes, and silently followed behind Li Xuan and walked in the direction of the comfort nest. (To be continued......)
