Chapter 399: Leverage the plot
Long Tao arrived near Yanshi in the early morning, and the first acquaintance to meet him was Linglongjiao, who was specially designed for Wang Shichong to spy on military intelligence, thinking that because he did not deliberately hide his whereabouts along the way, he had already been discovered by the spies around the city and reported to Linglongjiao.
This alien beauty's expression was as serious and cold as ever, and she looked like she was thousands of miles away, which made Long Tao especially want to see how she was thawed after being conquered.
After Long Tao reported his intentions, Linglong Jiao said: "Kou Junshi just went back to Luoyang last night, Xu Shaoxia is still in Yanshi City, I will take the Divine Sword King to find him." ”
"Kou Junshi?" Long Tao smiled, "Kou Zhong, this kid actually became a military advisor?" ”
Linglongjiao said: "We were able to win against Li Mi this time, thanks to his advice, and the generals in the army were also convinced by his wisdom." ”
Long Tao took a closer look at her delicate jade face and asked, "Miss Jiao won the battle, why can't you see joy at all?" ”
Linglongjiao sighed lightly: "Victory or defeat actually has nothing to do with me. ”
Long Tao asked: "It seems that the young lady is not from Middle-earth, why is she working by Wang Shichong's side?" ”
Linglong Jiao glanced at him vigilantly, and said lightly: "The Divine Sword King likes to inquire about the affairs of the girl's family so much, is it a habit left when he was a double cultivator?" ”
Long Tao didn't expect her to ask such a question, and smiled awkwardly: "Hey! It also depends on what kind of girl's house it is, a woman like Miss Jiao, I was very curious at first sight. ”
Linglong Jiao said coldly: "The Divine Sword King doesn't have to bother, I am definitely not the kind of woman you imagined!" ”
After saying that, he took a hurried step forward, and never looked back at him again.
Long Tao didn't expect her to be so cold and direct, shook his head and smiled bitterly, followed behind her delicate back, and walked towards the city gate.
The city was filled with an atmosphere of joy after the victory, and not long after the two of them stepped on the main street, Xu Ziling followed a middle-aged general to greet him, followed by a team of more than a dozen sergeants.
"Boss Yan!"
Xu Ziling shouted and walked quickly.
The general followed him to Long Tao's side, bowed slightly and said, "Yang Gongqing has seen the Divine Sword King!" ”
"It turned out to be General Yang who defeated Li Mi!" Long Tao said with a smile: "General Yang is busy with official business, why should he be so solemn? ”
Yang Gongqing smiled and said: "The Divine Sword King is here, how dare the old man slack off?" ”
Xu Ziling pointed to the city gate and said, "Boss, let's talk as we go." ”
"Ziling is leaving?"
"Yes, the big thing is over here, I want to go south immediately!"
On the edge of a sparse forest next to the official road outside the city, only Long Tao and Xu Ziling were left, and Yang Gongqing sent them back to the city after sending them here.
"Isn't Xiao Zhong with you? What did he do in Luoyang? Long Tao asked.
Xu Ziling's face was stunned, and he sighed: "He will catch up with me later, yesterday Li Xiuning personally went to Yanshi to find him and invited him to Luoyang for a while." ”
Long Tao said suddenly: "Li Shimin wants to recruit him? ”
Xu Ziling nodded and did not speak.
Long Tao said with a smile: "This kid broke Li Mi and showed outstanding military talent, and it is normal for Li Shimin to be valued. I heard that Wang Shichong sealed his relatives after the war, but he was quite jealous of the two of you. ”
Xu Ziling said lightly: "Wang Shi's inflation capacity is narrow, and Kou Zhong has established a high prestige in his army in this battle, if it weren't for Li Shimin's face, this old fox might have already attacked us." It's hard for this person to make a big deal, it's not worth mentioning! ”
Then he turned his head to look at Long Tao, and said: "Li Xiuning is Kou Zhong's first love, and he occupies an extremely important position in his heart, I hope you don't blame him, boss." ”
Long Tao laughed and said: "Ziling, don't worry, I already said when I was in Pegasus Ranch, if one day, Xiao Zhong came to deal with me for Li Xiuning, I would never blame him!" ”
Xu Ziling smiled slightly, and said resolutely: "Kou Zhong will not make a move on you under any circumstances!" However, he is likely to join the Li family for Li Xiuning, and you will inevitably become an opponent for the world at that time. ”
Long Tao looked at the rising sun in the eastern sky, and secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, it was hard for him to imagine that Kou Zhong, who was as radiant as the sun in the original story, would throw himself under Li Shimin's command, but he knew that this possibility already existed.
Because since he came into contact with Xu Ziling just now, he had sensed a trace of xenomorphic energy lingering.
He was already very familiar with this situation, and without the need for system prompts, he also knew that he had successfully disrupted the plot, and the origin was returning to a chaotic state, and he, as the overlord of the Divine Sword King, would naturally receive a trace of attention from the origin.
This shows that the plot route of Kou Xu and Xu is changing or is about to change.
According to Xu Ziling, it seems that the changes are mainly happening to Kou Zhong's kid.
In the original plot, after the two left Luoyang, they first went south along the canal, and by chance defeated Brother Cave in Liangdu, and then they established their own forces with Peng Lianghui and Yuan Zhai's subordinate Xuanyong as the team, and then defeated Yu Culture and Culture in Liangdu, and then, Xu Ziling went south to find Susu, while Kou Zhong subdued the Llama Gang, obtained Xiapi, and established the Young Marshal Army.
Now that the team and territory of the young marshal's army have been occupied by Long Tao, Kou Zhong naturally can't establish his own power according to the old way, listening to what Xu Ziling said, the two should be ready to go south together to visit Su Su.
If this is the case, Kou Zhong's plot is indeed a big deviation from the original work, then it is not impossible for him to defect to Li Valve in the future.
Long Tao let out a long breath and asked, "Doesn't that kid also want to dominate the world and be the emperor?" Will it be so easy to be willing to be subservient? ”
"I don't know, I really don't know." Xu Ziling shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Actually, Kou Zhong doesn't have much ambition to be an emperor, he is just unwilling to be lonely by nature and likes to live some exciting days, alas...... Speaking of which, this kid decided to dominate the world at the beginning, but also because he was injured by Li Xiuning, and wanted to get ahead and prove himself in front of her...... Alas, how heavy Li Xiuning's weight is in Kou Zhong's heart, even I can't judge, who can say for sure what will happen in the future. ”
Long Tao patted him on the shoulder with one hand and said with a smile: "Ziling don't need to worry, go and live the life you want to live, don't worry about that stinky boy anymore, don't worry, even if he really becomes an enemy with me, when we meet in the future, I will not be willing to kill him!" Haha......"
Xu Ziling smiled lightly: "I naturally trust the relationship between the boss and us, boss, you are right, everyone has his own way to go, it is difficult for outsiders to interfere, after picking up Sister Su, I will travel all over the world, go to the outside of the plug to find the wind and cold to play, see the desert grassland, idle clouds and wild cranes in this life." ”
Long Tao sighed secretly in his heart, after Xu Ziling arrived in Baling, he was afraid that Su Su was already dying, which would only make him add a sad regret that would be difficult to heal in his life.
"Baling is Xiao Milling's territory, Ziling may be dangerous here, I have something to give you."
Long Tao stretched out his hand and wiped the jade pendant on his waist, and handed a delicate mask to Xu Ziling.
"This mask is from the hands of the world's most skilled craftsman, and it can make you perfectly transform into another person, Ziling may be able to avoid some unnecessary troubles with it."
This one is the Yueshan mask made by Lu Miaozi.
In the original plot, Xu Ziling met Shi Qingxuan on the way south to find Susu, and helped her deal with the four demons of the Evil Extreme Sect such as You Niaoti and Zhou Laosi, and he was wearing Yue Shan's mask at that time.
Long Tao gave him the Yueshan mask, just doing his part to try his best to meet the conditions of the relationship between him and Shi Qingxuan, as for whether the two can meet like the original plot, it depends on their fate.
Although Shi Qingxuan is a peerless beauty of the same level as Shi Fei Xuan, Wan Wan, Shang Xiuxun, etc., as the daughter of the "evil king" Shi Zhixuan, she has a miserable background, and she is born with a passive and escapist character, and she only wants to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests.
Such a personality style is very compatible with Xu Ziling, Long Tao is not very interested in her, so he has the idea of adult beauty.
Xu Ziling took the mask, examined it carefully, and said with a fist: "Then I won't be polite to Boss Yan, we will have a meeting later!" With that, he turned and walked away.
"Ziling, take care!"
Long Tao nodded, watching his figure quickly disappear at the end of the official road.
