The boss of a foreign organization called the police, claiming that he was defrauded by me

Su Qi fired off a barrage of questions, hoping to get answers from Yang Xia, or even a definitive answer.

Yang Xia looked at Su Qi's anxious appearance, but his expression was somewhat indifferent.

"Lord Su... this Chu'er is dishonest, so we arrested him. After discussion, we will execute him in a few days."

"The Great Zhou Dynasty cannot keep him; this is also a rule of our Great Zhou Dynasty."

Su Qi was taken aback by Yang Xia's answer.

He had never seen Yang Xia so angry. Ever since arriving in the Great Zhou Dynasty, he had noticed that Yang Xia's face was extremely gloomy.

Especially when questioned about this matter, Yang Xia seemed to be suppressing his anger.

The astute Su Qi had already noticed all of this, which put him in a rather difficult position.

Su Qi hesitated for a moment, but in the end he mustered his courage and slowly walked up to Yang Xia.

"Your Majesty...is there no room for negotiation in this matter? Could you please show mercy and spare his life?"

"He was indeed quite talented in military affairs. It would be a real pity if he lost his life like this."

"I wonder if Your Majesty could grant me this request? I would be eternally grateful."

Yang Xia was immediately displeased when he saw Su Qi pleading for Chu'er.

He could hardly contain his anger. After experiencing all of this, Yang Xia was even more certain of his earlier suspicions.

He couldn't help but frown and glance at Su Qi with a strange look.

Yang Xia pondered to himself, "Could it be... could all of this really be the work of the Yan Kingdom? Is this Chu'er really a spy planted by Song Qitian?"

"If that weren't the case, why would Su Qi go to such lengths to save his life? It seems their relationship is indeed extraordinary."

"I was so naive to believe that they were genuinely helping the Great Zhou Dynasty, and even accepted the military graduates they recommended. This was like inviting a wolf into the house."

Yang Xia began to regret his actions and felt extremely angry, never expecting that Su Qi would set a trap for him.

At this moment, Yang Xia was as cold as ice and showed no enthusiasm towards Su Qi.

Su Qi quickly noticed that Yang Xia's attitude was much colder than before, which puzzled him.

He didn't understand why Yang Xia was acting this way. He had come with good intentions, wanting to find out the truth of the matter.

But Yang Xia's indifferent attitude made him extremely embarrassed, and he didn't even know how to face him.

In the days that followed, Yang Xia was busy with official duties. As for Su Qi's arrival, he simply instructed Yu Meiren to treat him well.

But he never showed himself. No matter what happened, Yang Xia would let Yu Meiren handle it.

He even arranged for Yu Meiren to communicate with Su Qi, as if Yang Xia had completely changed and no longer played chess or drank wine with him.

Seeing Yang Xia's attitude towards Su Qi, Yu Meiren felt somewhat uneasy.

"Your Majesty... this matter has not yet been fully investigated, isn't it going too far for us to treat Lord Su like this?"

"If there is any misunderstanding, we will have a hard time explaining it to Yan Kingdom."

"In my observation over the past few days, Lord Su seems to be in a very bad mood. He has asked me about your situation many times, but I have only been able to brush him off by saying that you are busy with official duties."

Yang Xia felt troubled when Yu Meiren mentioned this matter.

Not knowing how to answer, Yang Xia went to the prison cell again and saw Chu'er looking haggard.

"Speak... who exactly are you? I hope you will stop hiding anything. As for whether you are a spy for Yan, we will definitely find out the truth."

When Chu'er saw Yang Xia reappear, she couldn't help but sneer and stared at Yang Xia with a terrifying look.

“I have nothing to say. I’ve already made it very clear before, I am a spy for the Yan Kingdom.”

"It was Su Qi and Song Qitian who instructed me to do this. Whether you believe it or not, I have nothing more to say. Do with me as you please, I no longer care."

Seeing that Chu'er's attitude was so firm, it was indeed quite difficult for Yang Xia to get more clues out of him...

This infuriated him, and Yang Xia approached Chu'er step by step with a cold face.

He wanted to see just how stubborn this Chu'er could be.

When Yang Xia walked up to Chu'er, he noticed that there were scars on his face from the torture he had endured.

Yang Xia examined the wounds carefully and suddenly noticed something unusual.

"Strange... Chu'er clearly has injuries on her face, so why are the wounds so clean, and there's not even any bleeding?"

"What could be the reason for this? It doesn't make sense at all. Could there be some mystery we haven't noticed?"

Yang Xia scrutinized Chu'er's face intently, and the more he looked, the more suspicious he found her.

Suddenly, Yang Xia seemed to understand something and burst into laughter.

The sudden laughter made Chu'er feel uncomfortable and she immediately tensed up.

"Your Majesty... what are you laughing at? I have already explained everything very clearly, you don't need to be so sarcastic."

"Humph……"

Yang Xia caught a glimpse of Chu'er's flustered expression and said with a cold smile:

"Your face looks so fake; it seems I didn't notice before. Why isn't your face bleeding when you're injured?"

"If I'm not mistaken, your face is disguised. I wonder what kind of true face is hidden behind this mask."

"If I could see your true face, there would be no need to continue questioning. I would then know your identity perfectly well."

Upon hearing Yang Xia's words, Chu'er immediately became tense and fearful.

As Yang Xia approached step by step, he retreated repeatedly, staring at Yang Xia with terrified eyes.

"Don't come any closer... What exactly do you want? I'm not disguised, so don't talk nonsense."

Seeing Chu'er's panicked appearance, Yang Xia became even more certain of his guess.

"Guards...take him away and remove that mask. I want to see who he really is!"

The subordinates obeyed the order and stepped forward without hesitation, roughly dragging Chu'er away.

A heart-wrenching scream rang out. Yang Xia waited for the outcome, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Before long, Chu'er's true appearance was revealed.

Yang Xia stepped forward slowly, and when he saw the face that had returned to normal, he was greatly surprised.

"So...so you're from the Red Cake Kingdom! No wonder you kept claiming to be a spy for the Yan Kingdom."

"You still insist that Song Jitian and Sun Zhengming instructed you to do this. Now I finally understand your intentions."

"You despicable villain, your thoughts are so vicious. Not only do you want to steal the research results of the tower defense cannon, but you also want to sow discord between the Yan Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom. You are utterly despicable."

After seeing the face clearly, Yang Xia immediately understood Chu'er's scheme to sow discord and also realized the purpose of his trip.

This infuriated Yang Xia. Chu'er's identity was finally revealed; he was indeed a spy sent by the Red Cake Kingdom.

"Humph……"

Yang Xia sneered, turned around and gave a stern order to Meng Yu behind him:

"Three days later, behead this beast and display his head to the public. I never want to see that face again."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yang Xia turned and walked out of the prison, just in time to meet Sun Zhengming coming towards him, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

Seeing Sun Zhengming's puzzled expression, Yang Xia naturally understood what he wanted to ask.

He was also aware of his attitude towards Sun Zhengming during this period and felt really bad about it.

Now it was too late for regrets. Yang Xia sighed deeply and said to Sun Zhengming sincerely:

"Lord Sun... I am truly sorry. I was indeed misled after this incident."

"I never expected that this Chu'er was actually a spy sent by the Red Cake Kingdom, intending to sow discord between the Yan Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom."

"I even tried to steal the research results of the tower defense cannon. It was all my fault. I was not strong enough and was cold to you. Please forgive me, Lord Sun."

After hearing Yang Xia's explanation and learning about this insidious scheme, Sun Zhengming was shocked.

"What did you say... This Chu'er is actually sowing discord and pointing the finger at Yan Kingdom? This plan is too insidious."

"It seems we were all too careless, which allowed these people to take advantage of us and even exploit our relationship. The consequences are truly terrible."

Yang Xia nodded silently, also feeling quite annoyed. Sun Zhengming finally understood the whole story and was equally shocked…

Unexpectedly, such a major event has occurred. Originally, Yan Kingdom had good intentions, wanting to provide military talent to Yan Kingdom.

Who knew that good intentions would backfire and cause such a big misunderstanding.

This made Sun Zhengming feel quite guilty. He sighed helplessly and said to Yang Xia with a wry smile:

"Your Majesty... I am truly sorry, I never expected things to turn out this way. Fortunately, you have uncovered the truth."

"Otherwise, I don't know how much misunderstanding it would have caused, or even serious consequences. I still feel scared when I think about it now."

"I wonder who is behind this Chu'er? Who has the audacity to sow discord between the two Yan Kingdoms? This conspiracy is truly vicious."

Yang Xia listened to Sun Zhengming's analysis and felt that it made sense.

Although Chu'er's actions were hateful, the person who orchestrated all of this was even more despicable.

Yang Xia fell into deep thought, and considering Chu'er's current identity, he quickly came to a guess.

“Lord Sun… since Chu’er is a spy from the Red Cake Kingdom, I believe this matter is very likely the work of Liu Zhixiu.”

“He’s been making trouble all along. I know he’s restless and cunning. There’s a high chance he’s behind this.”

After hearing Yang Xia's analysis, Sun Zhengming also felt that it was very likely.

Because apart from Yoo Ji-soo, no one else has the ability or courage, nor is it possible for them to arrange for someone to infiltrate.

After in-depth discussions, the two finally reached a consensus and pointed the finger at Yoo Ji-soo.

As they gradually pieced together the events, Yang Xia couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.

A mocking look appeared on his face, but he already had a plan in mind.

Seeing Yang Xia's expression, Sun Zhengming knew that he must have already come up with a plan.

"Your Majesty... what do you think we should do about this? How should we deal with this treacherous and cunning Liu Zhixiu and make him pay for his actions?"

"How dare he stir up trouble between the Yan Kingdoms? We should teach him a lesson and put an end to his ambitions as soon as possible."

Yang Xia nodded slowly, fully agreeing with Sun Zhengming's idea.

They also felt that Liu Zhixiu should be punished properly, otherwise he would really be ignorant of his own limitations.

After careful consideration, Yang Xia turned to Meng Yu behind him and solemnly instructed him:

“Meng Yu… let’s keep this Chu’er alive for now. We can’t take his life yet, as I have other uses for him.”

Meng Yu was puzzled by Yang Xia's instructions and looked at Yang Xia with a puzzled expression.

"Your Majesty... are you really going to do this? Not execute this Chu'er? What exactly are your plans?"

When Yang Xia heard Meng Yu's question, a meaningful smile appeared on his face, as if he had a plan in mind.

“We will pretend that their evil plan has succeeded and try to bring Liu Zhixiu in.”

"I want to see how Liu Zhixiu will explain himself, and see how he can justify himself."

Yang Xia spoke with great confidence, while Sun Zhengming, standing to the side, remained puzzled.

He didn't understand Yang Xia's intentions, nor did he know Yang Xia's true purpose.

Upon returning, Yang Xia began to prepare for the matter with all his might, and even restarted his live stream.

When fans discovered that Yang Xia had started broadcasting, the atmosphere in the live stream was not as lively as before, and his popularity was much lower.

But Yang Xia didn't care about this at all; he had his own purpose in starting this broadcast.

[Your Majesty...why didn't you explain this to everyone before, and why did you hastily end the live stream?]

Is what everyone's saying true? Do you really not care about Yan country fans and are only trying to gain fame?

If that's true, you've gone too far and will break the hearts of your fans.

We have been reluctant to believe this, and we hope you can provide a clear explanation so that everyone can feel at ease.

Seeing how concerned his fans were about the matter, Yang Xia declined to offer any further explanation.

He didn't even need people with black profile pictures to stir up trouble in the live stream; instead, he took the initiative to criticize the people of Yan in the live stream.

They even became emotional and criticized them. Yang Xia's behavior immediately drew criticism from fans in the live stream.

Everyone was baffled by Yang Xia's actions and began to criticize him.

The entire comment section was filled with criticism of Yang Xia, and the fans were extremely agitated.

Yang Xia observed the atmosphere in the live stream and felt that his plan had worked, a smile involuntarily appearing on his lips.

Liu Zhixiu, the leader of Red Cake Kingdom, was secretly watching Yang Xia's live stream the whole time.

When he witnessed fans ganging up on Yang Xia, and Yang Xia also criticizing the Yan people in the live broadcast, the relationship between the two sides seemed to suddenly drop to a freezing point.

A smug smile appeared on Liu Zhixiu's face, her lips slightly upturned, as she scrutinized the scene before her with utter contempt.

"Humph……"

Liu Zhixiu let out a cold laugh and said slyly, "Yang Xia... this time I want to see how you plan to maintain the relationship between your Yan Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom."

"I find it hard to believe that your alliance is unbreakable; it's utterly ridiculous."

Yoo Ji-soo's eyes sparkled with anticipation.

As he had predicted, Yang Xia had developed a grudge against the Yan Kingdom and even made many remarks that were detrimental to the Yan Kingdom.

In order to convince the other party, Yang Xia ignored the insults and abuse from his fans.

Yang Xia looked at the fans in the live broadcast room and said, "Please listen to me. I always thought that Yan was a country of etiquette, and that their way of treating people was like a gentle breeze."

"But after experiencing all this, I finally understand that the people of Yan are outwardly respectful but inwardly cunning."

"Therefore, I am unwilling to explain further. If they are willing to stay in the live broadcast room, I have nothing to say; if they are not willing, I will never force them."

Dealing with people like this every day is exhausting. Who would want to spend all day dealing with these cunning and calculating individuals who are always scheming against others? (End of Chapter)
