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

Temujin was secretly annoyed that Kongming had only treated half the illness and was just trying to blackmail him for the long term.

Then, Kongming immediately added, "I don't want anyone to know that I've come to your Great Yuan capital this time. Do you understand?"

"Please rest assured, Master Zhuge, I will certainly keep my benefactor's whereabouts safe!" Tie Mujin said sincerely and fearfully.

Kongming then calmly said, "I've heard that your Great Yuan's Heavenly Ruler is quite interesting. I'd like to borrow it for a look. What does Your Highness think?"

"This...this is probably not something I can decide. My father usually keeps this treasure in the treasury, and I don't know where it is!"

Temujin looked troubled, clearly surprised and troubled by the matter Kongming wanted to discuss...

The Zhangtian Ruler, as the national treasure of his Yuan Dynasty, has not been lent out for hundreds of years.

It is said that the three major sects also wanted to borrow the treasure, but the Yuan Dynasty had no choice but to allow the masters of the three sects to enter the treasure vault together.

However, after examining it, they all shook their heads. Not only was the material nothing special, but no one could discern the secrets of the Heavenly Ruler, and in the end, the matter was dropped.

Although this treasure is of little use to cultivators, the Emperor of the Great Yuan Dynasty regards it as a precious gem and would not lend it to anyone outside the three major sects unless the forces of the Holy State forcibly grant it.

But these top-tier powers have probably studied these national treasures countless times, otherwise they wouldn't have allowed them to return to the mortal realm.

Furthermore, unlike the Jade Void Seal, this Heavenly Ruler is not an ownerless object. It is protected by the three major sects. Any other country or force that wants to take it will fight to the death.

On the contrary, the Jade Void Seal disappeared with the fall of the Qing Dynasty, and the three major factions of other countries did not want anyone to use the Jade Void Seal to establish a country.

Because if another country were to emerge, their interests would inevitably shrink.

After all, the resources in the world are fixed for ordinary people, so who the hell wants another country to get a share?

This is why neither Zhao Jingmo nor Qu Qianchou dared to reveal that they had obtained the Jade Void Seal before they possessed absolute power...

"Where there's a will, there's a way. I believe His Highness the Crown Prince will find a solution. Besides, I wouldn't dare run away with the treasure. I only ask to take a look. You can just quietly put it back afterward. Heaven, earth, you, and I all know about this! What is there to fear?"

Kongming spoke casually, but his eyes revealed an undeniable authority.

For Tie Mujincheng, although the Zhangtian Ruler was a national treasure, he was already dead, so why would he care about a useless ruler?

There is an even more important reason: if Temujin takes action, then he would absolutely not dare to reveal the slightest detail about this matter, including Kongming's whereabouts.

Otherwise, the three major factions would definitely not let him go, and even his emperor father might not be able to protect him...

Temujin remained silent for a moment, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.

Finally, he slowly nodded, a resolute glint in his eyes: "Master Zhuge is right, I am willing to give it a try. However, this matter needs to be handled with caution, please allow me to make the necessary arrangements."

Kongming smiled slightly and nodded in satisfaction: "Your Highness is indeed grateful and repays kindness. If this matter is successful, I will give you another antidote to ensure that the remaining poison in your body is completely eliminated!"

Upon hearing this, Temujincheng quickly cupped his hands in greeting, then turned and left with a dark expression...

"Prime Minister, could you please stop assigning me such tasks?"

Back at his lodgings, Zhao Yun said to Kongming with an embarrassed expression. He was a man capable of taking the head of an enemy general amidst a vast army; how could he possibly be composing poetry with a mere woman!

"Hahaha... Who told you, Zilong, that you have the ability to charm countless young women? If you don't go, are you going to send that old bastard Qingyang instead?"

Upon hearing this, Kongming laughed heartily. He knew, of course, that Zhao Yun was upright and unyielding, yet also possessed a delicate side. This seemingly absurd task actually contained a profound meaning.

"Sigh..." Zhao Yun could only sigh when he heard Kongming say this.

"Zilong, don't underestimate this mission. The Yuan emperor is ruthless and can turn on you faster than flipping through a book. This mission of yours might give us a way out in the future," Kongming said meaningfully.

"Since the Prime Minister has said so, Zilong will accept the order!" Although Zhao Yun was unwilling, he still nodded helplessly.

Kongming waved his feather fan, now he had to reassess the capabilities of Duanmu Qing.

When Kongming asked Duanmu Qing to lure the Crown Prince out, it was actually a test. If that failed, he would have to find another way.

Unexpectedly, in the important imperial palace, where cultivators gathered, this person so easily lured out the Crown Prince of the Great Yuan Dynasty.

This suggests that Duanmu Qing is likely backed by a mysterious organization, and this organization is powerful and pervasive...

……

"Yuanzhu, why did you suddenly think of asking me to go out of the palace to see the lanterns?" On the way back to the palace, Temujincheng asked casually.

"Hmm! What did you say, Crown Prince?" Tie Yuanzhu asked absentmindedly.

Temujin glanced at his twin sister and repeated himself.

"Oh! This is something that Xiaoxin and I were chatting about by chance. We heard that this year's Lantern Festival is different. We see that you are usually busy with national affairs, so we thought we would invite you to come and relax."

"Oh! I see. You seemed distracted earlier, little sister. Did that silver-masked man upset you? Should I go and get rid of him for you?"

Temujin Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly and asked tentatively.

"No, that young master was so dashing... little sister... my sister..."

Tie Yuanzhu hurriedly said, but then hesitated and stammered when she got to the point.

"Yuanzhu, could it be that you've taken a liking to that person?" Tie Mujin had a bad feeling.

He now has a suspicion that the person is almost certainly in cahoots with Kongming, but he can't say it outright because his life is still in the other party's hands.

What surprised him even more was that there was actually an inside agent of Kongming within the palace. This made him feel uneasy. He would never have believed that the maid Xiaoxin had only mentioned it to Tie Yuanzhu by chance.

Temujin secretly resolved that once this matter was settled, he would definitely carry out a thorough purge of the entire palace, and it would be best to kill Kongming to eliminate any future troubles.

Temujincheng's face was gloomy. He was also a little puzzled by Kongming's purpose. Why did he only ask for the Zhangtian Ruler, and why did he seem to have come prepared?

Logically speaking, ordinary cultivators wouldn't be that interested in these mundane national treasures, but judging from Kongming's desire to see this item, it didn't seem like a pretense. He even saw a thieving glint in Kongming's eyes.

Could it be that Zhuge Liang was already making plans when he saved me? Was he also determined to obtain the Heavenly Ruler?

This person must not be allowed to live!

Temujin thought through gritted teeth, for if he were to actually steal the national treasure, then this leverage would forever remain in Zhuge Liang's hands.

Having angered the three major factions, how could he possibly have a good life?

Postscript: The five national treasures belong to five different attributes and will be triggered under specific conditions. Let's see how Zhuge Liang measures the Heavenly Ruler...
