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

Upon hearing this, Tie Yuanzhu blushed and said, "But...but that young master doesn't seem too willing..."

"Hmph! Playing hard to get, is that it?" Temujin snorted coldly.

She then said calmly, "With your looks and status, you could have any man you want. This man's background is unknown, so I think we should just let it go!"

"No! I know my own affairs, and no one is allowed to interfere, including you, my brother, the Crown Prince!"

Tie Yuanzhu stared warily at Tie Mujincheng. She knew in her heart that this brother was no different from her father, both of them ruthless and cruel.

However, these two people doted on her immensely...

……

"Zhuge Kongming, our sect now has hundreds of elites who have arrived in the Yuan Kingdom, but you are still not taking action. What is the reason for this?"

A month passed in the blink of an eye, but there was still no progress on the warhorse issue. Elder Qingyang of the Jade Cauldron Sect couldn't help but question it.

"Elder Qingyang, these are 500,000 warhorses, not 500,000 pigs. How can you expect to get them so easily?" Kongming replied calmly, waving his feather fan.

"Remember this well, this is a pledge we made. If you can't get the warhorses, you'll have a hard time explaining yourself when you get back!"

Elder Qingyang was slightly angry. For the past half month, Kongming had been either slacking off here or catching shrimp there, but hadn't done anything serious.

Kongming could easily see Qingyang's impatience. He waved his feather fan and said, "If your Jade Cauldron Sect were truly capable, you wouldn't have suffered defeats so many times. Why don't you try again?"

Elder Qingyang narrowed his eyes slightly, "Zhuge Kongming, you've grown too big for your britches, haven't you? How dare you speak to me like that!"

Elder Qingyang was greatly angered by Kongming's words, and his golden core aura instantly enveloped Kongming.

Seeing this, Zhao Yun flashed forward and stood in front of Kongming. He swept his spear horizontally, and a tremendous force accompanied by a dragon's roar rushed out, instantly forcing Elder Qingyang back. The pressure of the Golden Core instantly dissipated into nothingness.

Elder Qingyang squinted at the two people before him, and tensions rose instantly.

“Fellow Daoist Qingyang, why bother? We’re all in the same boat. Give me some face and wait a while. My brother will naturally have his own considerations!” Duanmu Qing said as he stood up.

"Hmph! I'll give you two more months. If you still can't solve the warhorse problem, don't blame my sect for not tolerating you!"

Elder Qingyang suppressed his anger, finished speaking, and left in a huff.

After Elder Qingyang left, Duanmu Qing glanced at Kongming without showing any emotion, and then said, "Brother, the Jade Cauldron Sect is very powerful, why did you contradict Fellow Daoist Qingyang!"

"I've tolerated this old scoundrel for far too long. If I weren't outmatched, I would have killed him right here!" Kongming said with a cold look in his eyes.

"Alas! It's all my fault as the eldest brother for being useless and failing to help my younger brother!" Duanmu Qing sighed.

"Brother, what are you saying? How could our brotherhood be affected by interests?" Kongming said, shaking his feather fan and changing his tone.

“Brother, with your intelligence, you don’t need to put up with the Jade Cauldron Sect’s temper at every turn!” Duanmu Qing said, seeing that Kongming had a falling out with the Jade Cauldron Sect.

"Brother, you may not know this, but when our master was alive, he made a pact with the Prince of Zhongshan to help his lineage become emperors. Now that both of them are gone, this heavy responsibility has fallen on my shoulders. And Li Guangling is a man of some ability, which is why I have endured this humiliation!"

Upon hearing this, Duanmu Qing's eyes darted around. "A generation of emperors? How easy is that? Not to mention the need for immense strength as a foundation, simply gaining the recognition of the Holy State is already impossible!"

"Yes! Brother is right, but I always believe that one should not give up halfway through a task!" Kongming said calmly.

"If we can't get warhorses, how do you plan to deal with the Jade Cauldron Sect?" Duanmu Qing asked, frowning, as if he genuinely cared about Kongming's situation.

"Although the Jade Cauldron Sect is powerful, the Thunder God Sect is not to be trifled with either. I will naturally bring them to a balance, and no one can do anything to me!" Kongming said, shaking his feather fan.

"That's wonderful! That's wonderful..."

After chatting for a while, Duanmu Qing turned and left.

……

"Master Duanmu, in your opinion, is the Jade Void Seal on Zhuge Liang's person?"

A woman standing next to Duanmu Qing asked.

"It's pretty much a done deal. If he hadn't had that unpleasant encounter with that old guy Qingyang today, I really wouldn't have dared to test him," Duanmu Qing said in a deep voice.

"So what should we do next? Should we just tie him up and force him to hand over the Jade Void Seal?"

"This person is meticulous and will surely have a backup plan. We must not alert him. It would be best to make him hand it over willingly!"

Duanmu Qing pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked at the two women beside him and said, "This Zhuge Kongming is quite smitten with you two. Why don't you use some of your charms? Once it's done, I will definitely report to the Pavilion Master truthfully!"

Upon hearing this, Qingluan and Qingfeng's eyes darted around.

"Once it's done, we want to hand it over to the Pavilion Master in person! Can Hall Master Duanmu make the arrangements?"

"I'm afraid that won't work. To be honest, I've never met the Pavilion Master in person, and I have no idea where he is!" Duanmu Qing shook his head and said.

Their mysterious organization is called the Blood Drop Pavilion, and it has now infiltrated various countries. Its power is unimaginable.

As for that mysterious pavilion master, he was always elusive, appearing and disappearing without a trace. He always issued orders from above, and any reports they wanted to make were relayed through layers of intermediaries…

Meanwhile, inside the Great Yuan Imperial Palace.

Tie Yuanzhu rested her chin on her hands, anxiously waiting for something.

In the past few days, the maid Xiaoxin has become the link between her and Zhao Yun to connect.

Just then, the maid Shin-chan ran in with a note in her hand.

"Princess, Young Master Zhao Changshan has sent another letter!"

Upon hearing this, Tie Yuanzhu's eyes flashed with joy, and she quickly stood up from her seat and strode towards Xiaoxin.

Her fingertips trembled slightly as she took the note, as if the thin piece of paper carried all her expectations and anxieties.

Upon seeing this, the maid Xiaoxin immediately stepped aside.

Tie Yuanzhu carefully unfolded the note. On it, the handwriting was strong and vigorous: "Tonight at midnight, outside the palace wall at the east corner of the Imperial Garden, we will meet under the moon."

Tie Yuanzhu read it several times, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up. The joy in her heart was like a flower blooming in spring, splendid and bright.

"Xiao Xin, get ready for me. I'm going out of the palace tonight," Tie Yuanzhu said firmly, her voice resolute.

Crown Prince Temujin witnessed all of this, but he was powerless to do anything about it and could only turn a blind eye.

He slammed his fist on a pillar, gritting his teeth as he said, "You wicked Zhuge, once this is over, I will make sure you die a horrible death..."
