Game Cultivation World: I'm really playing games

During the exchanges and discussions with the Shu army soldiers, Xue Tianhan gained a deeper understanding of the martial arts realm of mortals. At this time, he began to think about the two famous wise men - Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix Chick.

In the past few days, "Military Advisor Zhuge", who was temporarily replaced by Xiao Qi's clone, used his extraordinary wisdom to offer advice and suggestions when communicating and discussing with everyone. Xue Tianhan saw it and was full of admiration in his heart.

Now that things have settled down a bit, Xue Tianhan understands that it's time to welcome the real Zhuge Liang.

That day, Xiao Qi sensed that the time had come for the real Mr. Zhuge to emerge. With light lotus steps, he approached Xue Tianhan and softly suggested, "Tianhan, now that the situation is becoming clearer, it's time for my clone to retire. I've sensed Mr. Zhuge is nearby. We should take the initiative to visit him and show our sincerity. What do you think?"

Xue Tianhan turned his head and looked into Xiao Qi's lively eyes, which flashed with surprise and anticipation. He quickly replied, "Really? That's great. Thank you for leading the way. We'll set off now and be sure to meet Mr. Zhuge with the utmost respect."

After some preparation, the two of them left the mansion hand in hand.

Along the way, Xiao Qi was all smiles and told Xue Tianhan about Zhuge Liang's later evaluations one by one. Xue Tianhan listened carefully, looking at Xiao Qi gently from time to time, and occasionally making a few jokes, which made Xiao Qi's cheeks blush.

Soon, they came to a quiet valley, surrounded by green mountains and shrouded in clouds and mist, like a paradise.

Xiao Qi pointed to an ancient thatched cottage deep in the valley and whispered, "When it's cold, Mr. Zhuge lives in seclusion here. This place is picturesque, with clear waters and mountains, and is tranquil and peaceful, which suits Mr. Zhuge's otherworldly aura."

The two approached the thatched cottage. Xiao Qi stepped forward and knocked gently on the door, saying softly, "Mr. Zhuge, Xiao Qi and Xue Tianhan have come to see you."

After a moment, a gentle voice came from inside the house: "The door is not locked, please come in." Xiaoqi and Xue Tianhan looked at each other, straightened their clothes, and pushed the door open.

The interior of the house was simple yet elegant, with books lined up and the aroma of tea in the air.

A man with a feather fan and a silk scarf, with a handsome face and deep eyes that seemed to hide the stars, and his every move showed his elegant demeanor. It was the famous Zhuge Liang.

Seeing the two approaching, Zhuge Liang bowed slightly and smiled, "Mr. Xue, Miss Xiaoqi, I hope you will forgive me for not coming so far to greet you."

Xue Tianhan hurriedly returned the greeting, "Mr. Zhuge, what are you talking about? Xiaoqi and I are so presumptuous to come and disturb you. We have been waiting for you for a long time. If you could come out today, you would surely be able to bring light to this chaotic world."

Xiao Qi also bowed and said with a smile: "Sir, your talent is comparable to Guan Zhong and Yue Yi. The current situation in the world is unpredictable, and we need your great talent to guide us."

However, Zhuge Liang shook his head slightly and sighed, "I already know your intentions. However, the world has been in turmoil for a long time. Although I want to help the world, I am tired of the hustle and bustle of the world. I just want to guard this piece of pure land and study quietly. I hope you will not force me."

Xue Tianhan and Xiao Qi exchanged a glance, an anxious look on his face. Xiao Qi stepped forward and said earnestly, "Sir, now that Emperor Liu Bei has taken control of Shu and established his foundation, it's time to use you. It would be a pity if you couldn't display your talents. The people are in dire straits, and we hope you can help us!"

Zhuge Liang remained indifferent, waving his hand slightly. "Miss Xiaoqi, I understand your feelings, but I've made up my mind. However, since you two are so sincere, I'd like to make a bet with you. If you can win, I'll consider leaving the mountain."

Xue Tianhan's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "What kind of gambling are you talking about, sir?"

Zhuge Liang picked up the tortoise shell and a few copper coins on the table and said with a smile, "Let's decide the outcome by fortune-telling. I'll give you a question. Calculate whether there will be any changes in Shu in the near future. If you can calculate the answer more accurately than I can, you will win."

When Xiao Qi heard this, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he thought to himself: This is the area I am good at.

She exchanged glances with Xue Tianhan and nodded in agreement.

Zhuge Liang first washed his hands and burned incense, then fiddled with the tortoise shell and copper coins with a pious look, muttering something.

After a moment, he opened his eyes, his eyes gleaming with insight. He slowly said, "According to Liang's calculations, although Shuzhong appears calm on the surface these days, there are actually undercurrents. Within three days, a small group of bandits will surely cause trouble on the border. However, the danger is not great and can be easily quelled."

After saying this, he looked at Xiao Qi and Xue Tianhan with a testing look in his eyes.

Xiao Qi was not in a hurry. She was proficient in the Book of Changes and her perception of the mysteries of heaven far exceeded that of ordinary people. She closed her eyes and concentrated, instantly mobilizing the spiritual power around her body, spreading her perception in all directions like fine spider silk.

After a long moment, Xiao Qi opened his eyes, his gaze calm and confident. He said in a deep voice, "Sir, your calculations are correct. However, Xiao Qi also senses that this bandit group seems to be secretly instigated by someone else. Their purpose is not simply to plunder, but to test the strength of the Shu army. They are also colluding with certain forces outside the country. If we don't deal with them properly, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Liang was slightly startled, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He had never expected that Xiaoqi could see through such a deep hidden secret, and he couldn't help but secretly admire the girl's extraordinary ability.

Then he clapped his hands and laughed: "Miss Xiaoqi is indeed sharp-minded. She can actually detect the hidden truth behind this. It seems that I underestimated the two of you."

Xue Tianhan saw this and struck while the iron was hot, stepping forward and bowing, saying, "Sir, these chaotic times require talents like yours to clear the clouds and bring light. Look, Xiaoqi has beaten you in this fortune-telling test, so do you think it's safe to let you leave the seclusion?"

Zhuge Liang gazed at the two men, his eyes filled with emotion. After a moment's silence, he finally nodded. "Well, since you two are so persistent, how can I bear to let you down? Since it is God's will, I will accompany you out of seclusion to help Uncle Liu Bei."

Xue Tianhan and Xiao Qi were overjoyed when they heard this, and hurriedly bowed to Zhuge Liang to express their gratitude.

After returning home, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others had already been waiting anxiously in the hall, and saw Xue Tianhan and Xiao Qi returning.

Liu Bei hurriedly stood up and stepped forward, eagerly asking, "Gentlemen, has your journey been smooth? Is Mr. Zhuge willing to come out of seclusion to help?"

Xiao Qi smiled and said crisply, "Don't worry, uncle. Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission. Mr. Zhuge has agreed to come out of seclusion."

Liu Bei's face immediately lit up with joy, and he exclaimed repeatedly, "Great, great! This is a blessing for the people of Shu. There is hope for the revival of the Han Dynasty!"

Guan Yu stroked his long beard, nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "I have long heard of Mr. Zhuge's great name. It is our great honor to have your help today."

Zhang Fei's eyes widened, and he grinned, "I've been looking forward to Mr. Zhuge for a long time. Now I finally have a backbone!"

Everyone entered the hall and took their seats. Liu Bei eagerly clasped his hands together, bowed deeply to Zhuge Liang, and sincerely asked for his advice: "Sir, I have now taken control of Shuzhong and established my foundation. However, I am surrounded by various forces, and the road ahead is still full of confusion. I hope you can guide me."

Zhuge Liang gently waved his feather fan, nodded slightly, and gazed at the sand table in the hall. He slowly spoke, "Ever since Dong Zhuo's rebellion in the capital, heroes have risen up and the world has been in constant strife. Now Cao Cao has millions of men, and he holds the emperor hostage and commands the princes. He is truly unmatched. Sun Quan has held Eastern Wu for three generations. His country is dangerous, but the people are loyal to him. He has talented people to employ. He can be used as an aid, but not as a target."

Although Xue Tianhan and Xiao Qi came from the modern era and knew the direction of history, they were also immersed in Zhuge Liang's wise exposition at this moment. They just listened silently and did not say much to avoid disturbing the current situation.

Liu Bei and others listened attentively, nodded slightly from time to time, their eyes full of admiration.

Guan Yu stroked his long beard, nodded slightly, and secretly admired: "Mr. Zhuge is truly a god! With just a few words, he has analyzed the complex world situation so thoroughly. I, Guan, have fought for half my life and met many counselors, but none of them has such far-sightedness."

Zhang Fei also opened his eyes wide and his mouth slightly open, listening with fascination. The admiration for Zhuge Liang in his heart was like surging waves, one after another.

He thought to himself that in the past he only knew how to charge into battle, but today he realized that the ability to plan and win battles thousands of miles away is the real great ability. Mr. Zhuge, I, Old Zhang, am convinced from the bottom of my heart!

Zhuge Liang paused, then gently traced the mountains and rivers on the sand table with his feather fan, and continued, "Since the emperor's uncle has taken over Shuzhong, this land of fertile fields stretching for thousands of miles is a land of abundance. Emperor Gaozu used this to establish his empire.

The most urgent task is to improve internal governance and to form an alliance with Sun Quan. When there is a change in the empire, order a general to lead the army of Jingzhou to attack Wan and Luo. The general will personally lead the people of Yizhou out of Qinchuan. Who among the people would dare not welcome the general with food and drink?

If this is truly the case, then hegemony can be achieved and the Han Dynasty can be revived."

After saying this, his eyes were filled with determination.

Xue Tianhan was shocked. Zhuge Liang's "Longzhong Discussion" analyzed the general situation of the world so thoroughly in just a few words, and the road to the future seemed to be paved before his eyes.

Xiao Qi was also full of admiration and praised: "Sir, you have great foresight. This plan is truly a good strategy for stabilizing the country and maintaining national security. As long as you follow the plan, you will surely achieve great success."

At this moment, another announcement came. It turned out that Pang Tong wanted to see him.

When Pang Tong entered the hall, he was stunned to see Zhuge Liang already there. Then he bowed and said with a smile, "So Brother Kongming has arrived here before me. It is truly a great honor to see two of these great men serving in the same hall today."

Zhuge Liang stood up and returned the greeting: "Shiyuan, you and I both share the ambition to help the world. Now is the perfect time for us to meet together to discuss plans and help the emperor's uncle resolve his problems."

Everyone sat around. After hearing what Zhuge Liang had said about the "Longzhong Plan," Pang Tong clapped his hands and laughed. "Brother Kongming, this plan coincides with what I had in mind. I have a plan that can help the emperor's uncle take Jingzhou as soon as possible so that we can expand our base."

After that, he explained his plan one by one, which actually complemented Zhuge Liang's plan and was perfectly matched.

Xue Tianhan looked at the two wise men in front of him talking to each other and expressing their opinions, and his heart was filled with relief and excitement.

With the help of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Young, and the support of Kunling Sect behind him, he firmly believes that this chaotic world will eventually be put right, and a peaceful and prosperous era will surely be expected.

After that, Xue Tianhan, Xiao Qi, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong got together more frequently, and constantly improved their strategic plans based on the current situation. As long as the time was ripe, they would set off a storm that would change the world in the troubled times.
