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

"Oh? He actually gave us a three-day deadline!"

After hearing everything, the superior seemed thoughtful. As expected of leaders, their thinking is sharper than others; they can hear the unspoken meaning.

I have a feeling that the three-day period is not simple, and there may be a bigger mystery hidden behind it.

"Quickly send someone to infiltrate Yan Kingdom and see if anything has happened there again."

Thomas was immediately ordered to investigate by his superiors, fearing that new developments might have arisen in Yan Country.

This is also the main reason why the higher-ups were so eager to recruit Yang Xia. He was simply too shrewd and a rare talent.

The events surrounding the Red Cake Country are a prime example. The shrewd and capable Yang Xia wiped out an island nation overnight.

Although the Nebula Kingdom is extremely powerful, they also hope to obtain such a rare talent, as he would play a significant role in the development of their national strength.

"Hahahahaha..."

"With just one word from the leader, I can wipe out the Yan Kingdom in no time. You don't need to worry too much."

Thomas's tone was full of disdain, showing that he didn't take Yan Guo and Yang Xia seriously at all.

The battle just now made the situation clear: the weapons of the Nebula Kingdom are indeed superior, far surpassing those of the Yan Kingdom.

Thomas didn't care about these people at all; he was only focused on destroying the Yan Kingdom.

After listening to Thomas's words, the superior did not say anything more, and hung up the phone with a slight frown.

Perhaps he was overthinking it. He still had great confidence in the strength of the Nebula Kingdom.

Yang Xia had already returned to the palace and immediately called Sun Zhengming again.

"Brother Sun, I have agreed to a three-day deadline with the other party."

Yang Xia briefly recounted his experience of going to see Thomas to Sun Zhengming.

This was part of their pre-arranged plan, designed to buy time.

“Excellent, three days is more than enough. We can then work together from within and without to successfully crush the two fleets of the Nebula Kingdom.”

Sun Zhengming greatly admired Yang Xia's actions, knowing that there was nothing he couldn't accomplish.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that we would have to rely entirely on China's help this time. Our tower defense cannons also failed to perform to their full potential."

Yang Xia smiled wryly, expressing his dissatisfaction with the current situation.

The tower defense cannon is indeed powerful, but this time the Nebula Kingdom is close to the Yan Kingdom's territorial waters, and rashly using the tower defense cannon may harm innocent people.

This is what frustrates Yang Xia the most—he has the strength but can't use it.

"I understand, I understand, don't worry. The tower defense cannon has its uses."

Sun Zhengming quickly comforted him, knowing that Yang Xia was feeling somewhat depressed at the moment.

However, Yang Xia wasn't particularly worried, as he still had a hidden skill he hadn't used yet.

In case the crucial moment comes, Yang Xia will naturally unleash his hidden strength and catch the opponent off guard.

This super weapon is a weather controller.

It can manipulate weather changes, such as creating hail and tsunamis, and its power is quite astonishing.

He wouldn't use this trump card unless absolutely necessary.

Yang Xia had not used it before because he was worried about revealing his full strength.

With a formidable enemy at hand, he naturally had to conceal his strength and unleash a powerful burst of power at the crucial moment in order to successfully turn the tide.

Otherwise, once trapped in a desperate situation, there will be no way to turn things around.

That's the mindset of a master; it's always unpredictable.

"Of course I'm not in a hurry. The tower defense cannon can't be used for now, but it's time for my hidden skill to make its debut."

Yang Xia smiled mysteriously.

"You bastard, I knew you weren't an ordinary person, you had too many secrets."

After hearing Yang Xia's words, Sun Zhengming couldn't help but tease him, but it was also his true feeling.

Yang Xia always gives people a mysterious and unpredictable feeling, and he always manages to unleash his true strength at crucial moments.

Working with such a person naturally gives you a sense of security.

Moreover, Sun Zhengming was sincerely cooperating with Yang Xia and never cared about personal gains or losses.

I believe this collaboration will be very pleasant.

After ending the call, Yang Xia closed his eyes and concentrated, carefully considering the current situation.

Although he had already discussed the specific plan with Su Qi, this matter concerned the fate of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which made him extremely cautious.

For the first time, Yang Xia felt immense pressure and, for the first time, felt hesitant and indecisive.

He trusted Su Qi quite a bit and was confident that he would be able to make a great impact at the agreed time.

"Your Majesty, please drink this bowl of porridge quickly!"

At that moment, a familiar voice rang in Yang Xia's ears; the voice was still as gentle as ever.

It turned out that Yu Meiren had brought over a large bowl of nutritious porridge.

She usually took great care of Yang Xia, and knowing that he hadn't slept well last night and didn't look well, she felt sorry for him and quickly cooked this bowl of nutritious porridge.

"It looks quite delicious."

Yang Xia pretended to be intoxicated and sniffed the bowl of nutritious porridge.

"Your Majesty, please stop with your banter and drink it while it's hot."

Yu Meiren urged him repeatedly, hoping he would finish the porridge as soon as possible.

Under the watchful eye of Yu Meiren, Yang Xia finished the entire bowl of porridge. It was indeed delicious, and he felt refreshed afterward.

Seeing Yang Xia eating so heartily, Yu Meiren nodded with satisfaction.

"Your Majesty, you must be exhausted these past two days. But we can't endure this any longer."

"I believe that none of the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty want to become slaves of a conquered nation."

Yu Meiren actually started talking about this kind of topic with Yang Xia.

This was unexpected for Yang Xia. He felt that Yu Meiren's behavior today was somewhat abnormal and quite different from usual.

Yu Meiren was kind-hearted and detested war.

Because she understood that many lives would be lost in war, the thought of people dying made her feel particularly sad.

Every life deserves reverence, at least that's what Yu Meiren believes.

This is why Yang Xia hesitated to take action against the Red Cake Kingdom and endured their provocations several times.

Only when they could no longer tolerate it did they finally annihilate the Red Cake Kingdom in one fell swoop.

Now, Yu Meiren's words were actually advising him not to endure any longer and to bravely attack the Xingyun Kingdom.

Why did you suddenly change your mind? Aren't you the one who hates war the most?

Yang Xia looked at Yu Meiren with surprise, making her feel a little embarrassed.

"If my kindness comes at the cost of the lives of the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I would rather not."

"Under no circumstances should the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty be allowed to suffer the pain of enslavement."

Yu Meiren bravely voiced her thoughts, much to Yang Xia's surprise.

"You are a very outstanding girl, and I will definitely not let you down."

Yang Xia excitedly grasped Yu Meiren's hand, his eyes filled with relief.

It seems that war can indeed change many things.

Even this extremely kind-hearted girl changed her initial opinion and was unwilling to become a sinner.

We must never be soft-hearted towards a vicious enemy; to do so would be to be cruel to ourselves.

The two had a deep conversation, sharing their thoughts with each other.

Suddenly, Yu Meiren realized that Yang Xia was holding her hand tightly, and her face flushed.

"Your Majesty, please rest well. I shall take my leave now."

Yu Meiren shyly withdrew her hand from Yang Xia's and quickly left with the empty bowl in her hand.

"This girl, she's even learned to be shy now!"

Watching Yu Meiren's departing figure, Yang Xia felt both amused and exasperated.

But he felt mostly relieved. Even his personal maid had realized the problem, so he couldn't afford to be complacent. This battle had to be fought to defeat the Nebula Kingdom and make them utterly terrified.

Only in this way can we eliminate future troubles forever.

The Nebula Kingdom was ambitious and had long wanted to annex the Great Zhou Dynasty, and even intended to destroy the powerful Yan Kingdom.

Everyone was already well aware of the Nebula Kingdom's ambitions.

They took the initiative to provoke us this time, so it would be a shame to remain indifferent.

The Nebula Kingdom is powerful, and coupled with its ambition, it has long been a huge threat.

If we can take this opportunity to destroy the Nebula Kingdom, it will be a remarkable achievement for everyone.

"It seems we need to plan carefully and prepare for the next move."

Yang Xia continued to ponder the current problem, and then ordered someone to summon Ni Qing and General Ni Qing.

He needs to arrange everything in advance so that the plan can be executed smoothly.

Yang Xia never fights a battle unprepared, and this time he needs to be even more careful.

"Your Majesty, is there something important you wish to discuss with us at this time?"

Ni Qing and Ni Qing were well aware of the grim situation, and both of them were on edge, wondering how things would develop.

Yang Xia nodded meaningfully.

"Has there been any unusual developments along the coastline recently?"

Ni Qing led the Imperial Guards to guard the coastal areas of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The Imperial Guard, commanded by Ni Qing, was mainly responsible for the defense of the coastal artillery and the defense of several other important military towns.

"Your Majesty, we have not found anything unusual on our side."

"Your Majesty, everything is normal on our side as well."

Although the two did not know why Yang Xia asked such a question, they still quickly reported the truth.

They all knew that war between the Nebula Kingdom and the Great Zhou Dynasty was imminent.

The past two days have appeared calm on the surface, but undercurrents are surging beneath.

"Strange, why is it so calm?"

Yang Xia frowned slightly, finding the phenomenon quite unbelievable.

He believed that Thomas couldn't possibly remain silent, and the thought of Thomas's arrogant demeanor only strengthened his conviction.

Yang Xia kept recalling the previous scene: many ministers in the court advocated seeking peace and even wanted him to lead the Great Zhou Dynasty to submit to the Xingyun Kingdom immediately.

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt; things were definitely not as simple as they seemed.

The calmer the moment, the more likely it is to foreshadow an impending storm.

"General Ni Qing, you will continue to be in charge of defense and will also take over the area that General Ni Qing was responsible for."

"I need to assign General Ni Qing a special mission."

Yang Xia began to implement the plan, first assigning Ni Qing the tasks at hand.

"The minister obeys the order."

Ni Qing immediately accepted the order.

"General Ni Qing, how are your injuries? When will you be fully recovered?"

Yang Xia then inquired about Ni Qing's injuries. Ni Qing's injury was a source of deep resentment for everyone, intensifying their hatred for the Xingyun Kingdom.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I have almost fully recovered."

Ni Qing quickly replied, knowing that everyone was particularly concerned about him. With a formidable enemy at hand, Ni Qing didn't take his injuries seriously at all.

"That's good. General Ni Qing, please step down and rest. I need to assign you another task."

Yang Xia then asked Ni Qing to step down.

"Wei Chen obeys your orders."

Ni Qing accepted the order and left. He understood that he was injured and unable to perform special missions for His Majesty; he would simply do his job well.

"Your Majesty, please give me your orders, and I will do my utmost to fulfill them."

Knowing that Yang Xia had entrusted him with an important task, Ni Qing quickly made a promise.

At this critical juncture, it was time for these great generals to serve their country.

A great general like Ni Qing would never shirk his duty, and would have no complaints even if he died on the battlefield.

"Find some trustworthy subordinates and have them infiltrate the residences of those pro-peace ministers to closely monitor their movements."

Yang Xia explained his plan, believing that it would surely yield results.

Based on a certain intuition, I felt that these ministers had colluded with the Nebula Kingdom, and I was sure that I could find clues about them.

"Your Majesty, why is this?"

After hearing Yang Xia's arrangement, Ni Qing looked puzzled, wondering what the benefit of this move would be.

Ni Qing even believed that they should not waste too much energy on these ministers, but should instead inquire more about the situation in Xingyun Kingdom.

"General Ni, think about it. Those people's attitude is too abnormal. Who would willingly become a slave to a conquered nation?"

"Only those who collude with the Nebula Kingdom would make such a despicable decision in order to gain greater benefits."

Yang Xia stated his thoughts directly, and Ni Qing nodded repeatedly.

"Therefore, closely monitoring the actions of these people might allow us to grasp the next steps of the Nebula Kingdom's plans."

Yang Xia's tone was very firm.

Taking all factors into consideration, Yang Xia made this arrangement, which is also the first step in the plan.

He made an appointment with Su Qi three days later, and anything could happen in those short three days.

The Nebula Kingdom will not remain idle; it will certainly devise plans and seek opportunities to fight a decisive battle with the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Since they have bribed the court officials, they must have made some arrangements.

Yang Xia sent Ni Qing to monitor them in order to obtain information about Xingyun Kingdom's next plan.

If all their predictions are correct, they will surely reap significant rewards and may even be able to turn the tide.

The biggest problem at present is that the Nebula Kingdom is stronger, and the Great Zhou Dynasty is being suppressed.

Although Yang Xia possesses a system, it would still be quite difficult for him to destroy a large country on his own.

This requires meticulous planning at every step to ensure ultimate victory.

Yang Xia also went all out this time, making every effort to arrange everything.

"Your Majesty, I understand..."

After listening to Yang Xia's explanation, Meng Yin suddenly understood and finally knew what to do next.

"Your Majesty is wise and insightful. I will certainly handle this matter properly."

Mengyin quickly expressed their willingness to dedicate themselves to the Yan Kingdom.

Yang Xia nodded in relief; he knew Meng Yin's character all too well.

Entrusting this matter to Mengyin will ensure that there will be no mistakes.

Throughout the entire Yan Kingdom, Generals Meng Yin and Meng Yu were undoubtedly his right-hand men.

With their assistance, the Yan Kingdom was able to develop smoothly.

At this critical moment, the general's wisdom and prowess are even more evident.

"Your Majesty, if it is discovered that those ministers are colluding with the Nebula Kingdom, what should be done?"

Mengyin deeply resented traitorous officials and naturally sought instructions on how to deal with them.

"Kill without mercy."

A cold glint flashed in Yang Xia's eyes; their thoughts were exactly the same.

Those traitors deserve no forgiveness. A person who cannot even be loyal to their own country is not worthy of being called a human being.

"Your Majesty, I obey your command. I know what to do."

Meng Yin was quite excited upon receiving the order, feeling particularly pleased; this was exactly the answer he had wanted. (End of Chapter)
