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

The wedding banquet ended hastily, and the trip to Yuliang was put on the agenda.

On this day, Qu Qianchou watched tens of thousands of troops outside the pass from a city tower at Fengling Pass, and seemed to have aged more than ten years overnight.

His daughter, Qu Hongling, was highly respected in the army and managed to take away 50,000 of his troops. However, he could accept this, as he had owed her a debt over the years, and he considered it as her dowry, so he didn't object too much.

What he couldn't stand the most was that his stupid son, seeing that Yinlong had followed Kongming, also foolishly insisted on going to Yuliang.

Who could bear that? So he preferred to watch from the city wall rather than go to see him off. A man must have dignity!

……

"Mother! Please go back!" Qu Hongling, on horseback, turned back to look at Qin Yuanshuang.

Having never known sadness before, she looked at the familiar city gate and her mother, whom she hadn't particularly liked before, and all she wanted to do was burst into tears.

"I'll see you off one more time. Going back will only mean facing your father's displeasure," Qin Yuanshuang said, spurring her horse to catch up again.

"Father is probably not feeling well!"

"He brought it on himself, let's ignore him!"

At this moment, Qin Yuanshuang was overflowing with maternal love, and she couldn't be bothered to care about Qu Qianchou.

If he hadn't been so ambitious, which led Zhuge Liang to enter the pass, he wouldn't have been tricked into marrying his daughter, having his son run away, having his beloved general fall in love with someone else, and losing 50,000 troops.

It's clear he lost miserably. By the time he comes to his senses, he'll probably feel like dying.

This marriage was merely a means to an alliance. Deep down, Qin Yuanshuang hoped that Qu Hongling could live a good life. After all, an ordinary woman doesn't need to have so many ambitions...

After seeing you off for a thousand miles, we must eventually part ways. In the end, Qin Yuanshuang stopped in her tracks.

……

Tens of thousands of elite troops passed through the area, and some forces along the way treated them like they were sending away a plague god, fearing that they might displease Li Guangling and be wiped out.

Therefore, he traveled smoothly without any obstacles, and Li Guangling unknowingly became a considerable force.

What frustrated Li Muling was that ever since Zhao Yun arrived, he had taken her place, so she had no choice but to stay by her brother and sister-in-law's side, even though Zhao Yun was clearly the third party!

Along the way, Zhao Yun and Kongming walked side by side at the front of the group, sharing their experiences over the years.

Upon learning that Kongming had been under house arrest for seven years, he gripped his silver spear tightly, his eyes flashing with anger.

Compared to Kongming, he was relatively lucky.

Back then, he was struck by lightning, and after a moment of disorientation, he found himself in the military camp at Fengling Pass.

Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, he initially thought he was hallucinating. Later, he was surrounded by a group of soldiers and had no choice but to fight his way out...

"Prime Minister, what are your plans for the future?"

"Since we're just idling around anyway, let's help that kid get a foothold first," Kongming said, turning his head to glance at Li Guangling.

In fact, given his current situation, he cannot leave Li Guangling for the time being. Su Zhuo asked him to go down the mountain simply because of the Jade Void Seal.

Just now, he had sensed the aura of several cultivators. These were people sent by Su Zhuo to monitor him. Although they couldn't keep a close eye on him, Su Zhuo must at least know his general direction.

His strength is still too weak, so it's always good to be careful. However, he has only vaguely mentioned these things to Zhao Yun, while his plan to deal with the Qinglan Sect is being quietly laid out...

As dusk fell and the mountain path became rugged, Kongming ordered them to set up camp ahead, close to the mountainside.

Before long, the well-trained soldiers were busy setting up tents and lighting cooking fires. The camp quickly became lively, bringing a touch of human warmth to this deep mountain forest.

Beside the campfire, Li Muling appeared beside Kongming without anyone noticing.

"Can I call you the same way he does?"

Kongming was slightly taken aback. "This is just childhood play. Why would the princess want to imitate him?"

“I don’t care, if he can call me that, so can I!” Li Muling said earnestly.

"As you wish!"

When this woman gets stubborn, there's really no way to deal with her.

……

Li Guangling glanced over here and said, "Ling'er, what's wrong with you? Why are you imitating General Zilong!"

"Of course you don't understand! She's jealous!" Qu Hongling said casually from the side.

"Jealous? What's she jealous of!"

"Didn't you see how sullen she was the whole way? General Zilong took her place!"

"This...this...could it be that Master Zhuge and General Zilong have an affair? When did you find out?" Li Guangling asked in a low voice, as if he had been frightened.

"What are you thinking!" Qu Hongling glared at him.

"Didn't you say Ling'er was jealous?!"

"Sigh! Sometimes I just can't communicate with you!" Qu Hongling shook her head, not wanting to talk to him anymore.

However, the speaker meant no harm, but the listener took it to heart.

No wonder he and Sect Leader Su's daughter are like strangers; so that's what he likes! How am I supposed to face him now? But it's for the best, it puts an end to Ling'er's hopes. That Immortal Master Zhuge is definitely not a good person…

Li Guangling couldn't sleep all night, pondering it to himself. The more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed, and a seed of confusion sprouted in his heart...

"There's a monster!"

"There are monsters..."

As night fell, shouts from soldiers suddenly rang out outside the camp.

Kongming sat up abruptly, all sleepiness gone, his gaze sharp as he looked outside the tent. Zhao Yun also quickly rose, spear in hand, and stood guard vigilantly beside Kongming.

"A monster?" Kongming frowned slightly. As a cultivator, he naturally knew that there were many strange things in the world, but he had never actually seen a monster.

The two quickly stepped out of the tent and saw that the camp was brightly lit, with everyone picking up their weapons and looking tense.

Li Guangling glanced at Kongming and Zhao Yun discreetly, then said, "It's normal for monsters to be found in such deep mountains and forests. I'm sorry to disturb your peaceful sleep!"

"It's alright. I'm just curious how this monster is so bold as to dare to break into the military camp. Zilong, come with me to investigate." Kongming immediately became interested. He had never seen what a monster looked like since he began cultivating Taoism. After saying that, he rushed off in the direction the soldier pointed out.

"I also need to go."

Li Muling was about to follow when Li Guangling stopped her.

"Ling'er, do you have feelings for Master Zhuge?"

"I...I didn't, brother, what nonsense are you talking about?" Li Muling said shyly.

"There's no best! There are some things I can't say outright, so just give up!" Li Guangling sighed and said meaningfully.

Li Muling rolled her eyes at him.

Suddenly a scream rang out...

"Oh no! The princess has been kidnapped by a monster..."

"what!"

Li Guangling was shocked and hurriedly rushed towards his camp, followed by several of his personal guards.

Kongming, of course, also heard the screams and quickly stopped in his tracks.

"This scoundrel actually used a diversionary tactic..."

A dark shadow flashed quickly through the forest, appearing and disappearing intermittently, emitting a low and eerie roar.

Kongming and Zhao Yun followed closely behind, using the faint moonlight, but when they reached a mountain hollow, the dark figure suddenly vanished without a trace.

"This monster is quite capable; it managed to grab a living person so quickly..." Kongming frowned slightly.

Zhao Yun, spear in hand, his eyes sharp and alert, scanned his surroundings warily…

Postscript: In his previous life, Liu Bei's marriage to Sun Shangxiang caused Eastern Wu to lose both his wife and his army. In this life, he repeated the same trick, losing not only his brother-in-law but also a great general. Next, the second senior brother is about to make his grand entrance…
