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

He has been in this world for eight years and knows that although strength is paramount here, it is often those who are eloquent and skilled in political maneuvering who can go further.

According to Qu Qianchou's description, the immortal master accompanying Li Guangling seemed to be a master of this art, which reminded Yinlong of an old friend from his previous life.

Qu Qianchou suddenly glanced at Yinlong warily, "Actually, he's just so-so. He's incredibly annoying. Hongling even wanted to kill him to vent her anger. Yinlong, you're not necessarily a good person!"

At this moment, Qu Qianchou really wanted to slap himself twice. He shouldn't have praised Kongming to such an incredible degree, which aroused Yinlong's interest.

If, after the two of them meet, Kongming harbors malicious intentions and uses his silver tongue to entice the silver dragon away, then he will have nowhere to turn to cry.

Qu Qianchou could only pray in his heart that Kongming would not have any wicked thoughts.

……

On this day, colorful flags fluttered, gongs and drums resounded, and crowds thronged the city of Fengling Pass, for it was the General's daughter's wedding.

People flocked to the streets to witness this grand wedding.

Li Guangling, riding a tall horse and dressed in a bright red wedding attire, set off from the post station to the General's Mansion, accompanied by Ji Yizhi and Li Muling.

Since Fengling Pass was far from his fiefdom and there was nothing there at all, the wedding was held at the General's Mansion.

At this moment, Ji Yizhi and Li Muling were considered Li Guangling's maternal relatives, but they still appeared to be alone.

Ji Yizhi sighed. If the late king were still alive, the young prince's wedding would not have been so hasty. This wedding is truly beyond our control!

Fortunately, Li Guangling was a man who could bend and stretch.

Inside the General's Mansion, it was already bustling with activity. Qu Hongling, wearing a phoenix crown and a wedding robe, sat gracefully in her boudoir.

A boy kept talking to her.

"Alright, Yingdong, how can you come here to speak ill of your brother-in-law on your sister's wedding day? Get out!" Qin Yuanshuang shouted from the side.

Qu Yingdong then left dejectedly...

Qin Yuanshuang looked at Qu Hongling in front of her. Although she was not her biological daughter, she felt a mix of emotions.

She was forced to marry a mortal because of the sect's requirements. Only she knew the helplessness she felt. Fortunately, Qu Hongling agreed to the marriage.

Over the years, she and Qu Qianchou had given Qu Hongling almost no care, and now that they saw her become the object of a marriage alliance, they couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

"Hongling! If you don't have a good life in the future, remember to tell your mother, and your mother will stand up for you!" Qin Yuanshuang held Qu Hongling's hand, her eyes filled with tenderness.

Upon hearing this, Qu Hongling immediately lifted her veil, tears glistening in her eyes. She hadn't felt this kind of maternal love for many years.

"Mother, don't worry! You know my temper."

"You have no manners at all, hurry up and put the veil back on Qu Hongling's head." Qin Yuanshuang laughed, and quickly put the veil back on Qu Hongling's head...

……

At this moment, Qu Qianchou was beaming with joy as he received congratulations from guests in the banquet hall.

Most of them were commanders and generals from other prefectures. Some belonged to the Jade Cauldron Sect, while others came from other cultivation forces.

Suddenly, Qu Qianchou's expression changed. He then beckoned to his two guards and whispered a few words in their ears. The two guards immediately headed towards where Kongming was.

Kongming had actually arrived at the General's Mansion quite early. Although he had not received an invitation from Qu Qianchou, as the 'matchmaker' for Li Guangling and Qu Hongling, how could he not be present?

Moreover, in such occasions, it is usually the commander of a prefecture, and it is better to make a name for oneself than anything else.

As for why he hadn't received an invitation, he had no idea. He always felt that Qu Qianchou was avoiding him. Although there had been some unpleasantness before, now that the matter was settled, he should no longer care.

Kongming glanced at the two extra people beside him, but didn't seem to care.

After a few rounds of drinks, Qu Qianchou was slightly drunk, but his smile grew even brighter, as if he were riding high and full of vigor.

He stood on the main seat, dressed in a magnificent python robe, holding a golden cup, raising his glass with the guests, discussing the state of the world, and occasionally letting out a hearty laugh.

"Brother Qu, although today is your daughter's wedding day, we are both military men, so how can we not have a competition to liven things up on this occasion? Don't you all agree?"

A burly, middle-aged man clad in black armor stood up and spoke loudly.

"right……"

"General Wang is right."

These words were immediately echoed by many of the military officers present. They were used to fighting on the battlefield and naturally enjoyed this kind of competition.

"Old Qu! I've heard that your Fengling Pass is full of fierce generals. Why not have them come out and spar with everyone here, so that everyone can see the splendor of your Fengling Pass?"

Another general from a neighboring county stood up and spoke loudly.

Whenever a group of military generals gather together, no matter the occasion, they will inevitably engage in a contest of bravery and ferocity.

Qu Qianchou staggered to the platform in the center of the hall, let out a burp, glanced disdainfully at the group of generals, and then held up one finger.

"I only need to send one person, and I guarantee that all your generals and commanders will be defeated."

As soon as this statement came out, the whole audience was in an uproar.

Those military officers were all warmongers, and upon hearing this, they couldn't help but glare at each other angrily.

"Qu Qianchou, you are far too arrogant. Even if your Fengling Pass is strong, you can't possibly sweep through all of us by yourself."

"That's right, Lao Qu, you've had quite a bit to drink today, so you should stop bragging."

The military officers stared at Qu Qianchou with unfriendly expressions, but Qu Qianchou just laughed and showed no sign of panic.

“I, Qu Qianchou, never boast. If you don’t believe me, then let your men come up and try.”

As he spoke, he turned to look at one of his bodyguards beside him.

"Go, invite my General Silver Dragon here!"

The guard took the order and left, while Qu Qianchou returned to his seat, picked up his wine cup again, and wore a smug smile.

Since acquiring this war god, he has never flaunted it in public. Today, fueled by alcohol, he is determined to show these bumpkins something.

Although Yinlong disliked such a scene, with so many people present, he wouldn't dare to offend them.

Before long, a handsome figure dressed in silver armor and holding a silver spear appeared at the entrance of the hall. The man had a handsome face and his brows naturally revealed a heroic spirit.

He walked slowly into the hall, his gaze sharp as a knife, each step seemingly carrying the force of thunder, making one's heart pound.

His silver armor gleamed in the candlelight, and his silver spear shimmered with a cold light. A powerful aura emanated from him, making all the generals present feel a sense of oppression.

When Kongming looked at this general, the wine cup in his hand immediately fell to the ground.

He felt as if he had been struck by lightning; his body stiffened, his mind was in turmoil, and his face showed a complex mix of disbelief and surprise...
