Zhuge Liang's Journey to Dominate the World: Starting from Another World

The man called Young General was named Qu Yingdong, the son of Qu Qianchou and Qin Yuanshuang.

He loved following Qu Hongling around since he was a child. Although they were half-siblings, the two siblings had a very good relationship, and he was one of the few people Qu Hongling was willing to confide in.

Upon hearing that his sister was getting married, he specially rushed back from the border to oversee the process, bringing with him General Silver Dragon, determined to give his future brother-in-law a hard time.

"Yingdong, stop acting recklessly!"

At this moment, Qu Qianchou also rushed over upon hearing the noise. He shouted, and when he saw the person wearing silver armor to the side, he immediately showed joy and completely ignored his son.

"Oh dear! My Silver Dragon General, you must be tired from your journey. I hope Yingdong didn't cause you any trouble!"

"General, you flatter me. Although the young general is unruly, he can still distinguish between what is important and what is urgent," the general in silver armor said, bowing to Qu Qianchou.

"Hahaha! That's because only you can keep him in check." Qu Qianchou said, then took Yinlong's hand and walked into the inner room, showing how much he liked this person.

This person suddenly appeared in the military camp about seven or eight years ago. At that time, Qu Qianchou thought he was a spy sent by other forces, so he ordered him to be captured.

But who would have thought that this person was incredibly powerful, single-handedly routing thousands of soldiers, making him practically a god of war.

It was later discovered that this was just a misunderstanding, so he decided to recruit him, but he declined to reveal his name.

Seeing that he moved through thousands of troops as if they were nothing, and that he was wearing silver armor and holding a silver spear, resembling a silver dragon, Qu Qianchou appointed him as the Silver Dragon General.

After acquiring this great general, Qu Qianchou held a banquet for ten days to thank Heaven for bestowing such a fierce general upon him.

In the days that followed, Silver Dragon's combat power became increasingly terrifying. On one occasion, the Jade Cauldron Sect dispatched more than a dozen cultivators to Phoenix Ridge Pass to oversee the battle. Silver Dragon inadvertently provoked those cultivators, and a fierce battle ensued.

The result was unexpected; more than a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators were all taken down by the silver dragon, a feat that immediately alarmed the Jade Cauldron Sect.

The Jade Cauldron Sect sent an elder to inspect the area. After several inspections, the elder confirmed that the silver dragon was a mortal and did not possess the physique for cultivation.

Even the elder couldn't resist testing the waters, but still couldn't quickly subdue the silver dragon. Fortunately, they were all on the same side, so the matter was eventually dropped...

"Dad! What are you doing? My Master Yinlong doesn't like tea!" Qu Yingdong said hurriedly when he saw his father dragging Yinlong into the inner room.

He went to great lengths to lure Master Yinlong back from the border, intending for him to intimidate his future brother-in-law and show him that his brother-in-law was not someone to be trifled with...

"Outrageous! Do you think I don't know what you're up to? Silver Dragon would never do such pointless things for you!" Qu Qianchou cursed angrily.

"What do you mean by 'boring things'? I'm afraid that bastard will bully my sister in the future, so I have to teach him a lesson today."

"With your sister's size, it's a miracle he doesn't bully others. Get lost, don't interrupt my reunion with Silver Dragon."

"Ugh! How can you talk to your own daughter like that? And you call yourself a father!" Qu Yingdong said, utterly exasperated...

The next day, a flying spirit beast hovered above the inn, with two people standing on it.

Judging from their appearance, one of them should be a cultivator, while the other is dressed as a eunuch.

"Li Guangling, come out and receive the imperial decree!"

The man dressed as a eunuch held the imperial edict, his voice booming, exuding arrogance.

Inside the inn, Li Guangling and Ji Yizhi were discussing their next move when they heard the noise from outside. They were slightly startled, then exchanged a glance, both seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.

"Could it be that the Empress Dowager has some new scheme?" Li Guangling stood up, frowning.

Since he left Chang'an, he had been relentlessly pursued, and he naturally knew that it was a secret arrangement by the imperial court.

At this moment, the sound rang out again.

Li Guangling and Ji Yizhi walked out of the post station one after another, and saw that the flying spirit beast had landed on the open ground in front of the post station.

The eunuch, holding the imperial edict, glanced disdainfully at Li Guangling and Ji Yizhi, a cold smile playing on his lips.

He then cleared his throat and loudly proclaimed: "By the grace of Heaven, Empress Wu decrees: Out of consideration for kinship, I cannot bear to execute you and have granted you a fief. However, you are ungrateful and instead travel abroad, which is tantamount to showing contempt for the court. Li Guangling is hereby ordered to proceed to the fief immediately without fail. So be it!"

"Prince Yuliang, why haven't you accepted the imperial decree and expressed your gratitude?" The eunuch's voice fell silent for a moment.

Upon seeing this, Ji Yizhi quickly nudged Li Guangling with his elbow, signaling him to accept the imperial decree immediately.

Li Guangling seemed not to hear, his eyes narrowed as he stared directly at the eunuch, a dangerous glint in them.

Seeing that Li Guangling did not react, the eunuch frowned, his face showing displeasure, and said coldly, "Prince Yuliang, why don't you obey the decree?"

"Whose orders should I follow?"

Li Guangling smirked. Empress Wu had slaughtered the Li family, causing his family to be destroyed. He would settle this score sooner or later.

The eunuch was taken aback, then his face darkened, and he said, "Is there any need to ask? Whoever calls the shots in the world today, you must obey their decrees!"

"Receive the decree!" a voice rang out.

Li Guangling turned his head and saw Kongming slowly walking out of the post station, waving a feather fan.

Upon hearing this, he nodded and reached out to take the imperial edict from the eunuch's hand.

Seeing this, the eunuch's eyes flashed with a hint of smugness, thinking to himself, "Even if you are a member of the Li Tang royal family, you still wouldn't dare to openly defy Empress Wu's decree."

However, he failed to notice that Li Guangling's face turned cold after receiving the imperial edict.

"Alright, the decree has been received. You may leave now," Li Guangling said calmly.

"You..." The eunuch was stunned for a moment, then said angrily, "How dare you speak to me like that!"

"What? Do you expect me to kowtow and thank you?" Li Guangling sneered.

"You..." The eunuch trembled with anger at Li Guangling's words. He glared at Li Guangling fiercely, then turned and boarded his flying spirit beast.

The flying spirit beast took off and quickly disappeared into the horizon.

"Good stuff!" Kongming muttered to himself as he watched the flying spirit beast fly away.

"Master Zhuge, you may not know this, but this is the only flying spirit beast in the entire palace. It was a gift from the three major sects to the late emperor. Normally, only Empress Wu could use it. I never expected that it would be used to deliver an imperial edict today..." Li Guangling explained.

Kongming was well aware of the rarity of flying spirit beasts. The entire Qinglan Sect had none, while the Yuding Sect only had two, both used by high-ranking members of the sects, which showed just how scarce they were.

Firstly, taming a flying spirit beast is extremely difficult, and only the Beast Taming Sect among the three major sects has a unique method that can tame it.

Secondly, a single flying spirit beast can cost hundreds of thousands of gold coins, which ordinary forces simply cannot afford to buy.

Therefore, such luxury items became symbols of status.
