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

Sun Zhengming told Yang Xia everything. He trusted Yang Xia and was willing to clarify everything.

"Did the king say anything?"

Yang Xia learned more about the situation and realized that things were not so simple.

"The king has demanded that the Great Zhou Dynasty's authority over discourse within Yan be reduced, and that you be prohibited from participating in any core secrets."

"So it's not that I don't trust you, but that the king no longer trusts you."

Sun Zhengming also helplessly stated this result.

"Yes, I noticed it a long time ago."

Yang Xia was equally speechless. Although he knew that the choice of the Yan Kingdom's ruler was not wrong, he still felt particularly aggrieved.

He had devoted so much effort to helping the Yan Kingdom, only to end up like this.

Yang Xia briefly recounted the contents of his negotiation with Mike, and Sun Zhengming nodded thoughtfully.

"It was just a ploy to lure the other side into a trap, but now it seems that the plan failed from the very beginning."

Yang Xia looked dejected. He felt overwhelmed and under immense psychological pressure.

"I'm now facing my own problems and can no longer assist you, so please take care of yourself."

Yang Xia then recounted the even more severe challenges currently facing the Great Zhou Dynasty.

He didn't want to stay there any longer, feeling it was pointless. Once he lost the other party's trust, things would become even more difficult.

Yang Xia was unwilling to spend any more time and energy staying in Yan Kingdom. Rather than doing so, he would rather rush back to the Great Zhou Dynasty to save his people.

After saying this, he continued packing his luggage.

After listening to Yang Xia's words, Sun Zhengming fell into deep thought.

He knew that the current situation was very unfair to Yang Xia, but he was powerless to change the king's mind.

As the ruler of a country, he should naturally be vigilant, which is also for the sake of the entire Yan Kingdom. He cannot blame the ruler for his actions.

But from Yang Xia's perspective, this is indeed very unfair, and anyone would feel extremely aggrieved.

Sun Zhengming felt that he should try harder to mediate between the king and Yang Xia, as there might still be room for reconciliation.

After pondering for a long time, Sun Zhengming finally spoke.

"Yang Xia, could you please wait a moment and give me another chance?"

Sun Zhengming spoke to Yang Xia in a pleading tone, his attitude extremely sincere.

"Now that things have come to this, I'm afraid there's no way to salvage the situation. Your king no longer trusts me at all."

Yang Xia shook his head helplessly, feeling that it was unnecessary.

"I'll contact the king right now to see if there's any chance of a resolution. Could you please give me a little more time?"

Sun Zhengming quickly expressed that he understood Yang Xia's thoughts, but just wanted to try one last time.

"Fine, since you insist, I'll wait for you for a while."

Seeing Sun Zhengming's earnest attitude, Yang Xia nodded in agreement. Sun Zhengming immediately contacted the king, hoping to resolve the matter as soon as possible and keep Yang Xia there.

“Your Majesty, I guarantee with my own integrity that Yang Xia would never collude with Xingyun Kingdom. He still stands on the side of Yan Kingdom, so I implore Your Majesty to give him another chance.”

Sun Zhengming kept pleading with the King of Yan, hoping that he could fully trust Yang Xia, as only in this way could they cooperate again, which was also crucial for their Yan Kingdom.

"How could you say such a thing as an important official of the Yan Kingdom?"

“If the other party engages in suspicious behavior, we should not trust them again, otherwise it will bring annihilation to Yan Kingdom.”

The Yan Kingdom's ruler instead criticized Sun Zhengming, and Yang Xia overheard all of this. He shook his head helplessly.

“Your Majesty, I guarantee with my own head that if Yang Xia is truly guilty, I am willing to offer up my own head.”

Driven to desperation, Sun Zhengming made such a guarantee, leaving Yang Xia and the King of Yan stunned, as they had not expected Sun Zhengming to make such a choice.

Yang Xia gave Sun Zhengming a meaningful look, and finally felt a little better.

Regardless of the outcome, Sun Zhengming still had considerable confidence in himself.

From this perspective, everything I did for Yan Kingdom was not in vain.

After hearing Sun Zhengming's solemn promise, the King of Yan also fell silent.

He knew that Sun Zhengming was loyal to the Yan Kingdom, and this incident surprised even the Yan Kingdom's ruler.

Yang Xia had repeatedly helped the Yan Kingdom in the past, so was he really being too suspicious? The Yan Kingdom's ruler struggled with this question in his mind.

"Your Majesty, please give us another chance. I promise there will be no problems, otherwise the Nebula Kingdom will take advantage of the situation."

Sun Zhengming earnestly discussed the matter with the king, and the king of Yan finally nodded in agreement.

"Alright then, we'll give Yang Xia another chance. Remember what you said: never let Yan Kingdom come into any danger."

The King of Yan gave him his instructions with concern, and Sun Zhengming could only keep reassuring him.

Having finally gained the king's trust, Sun Zhengming happily hung up the phone.

"Yang Xia, did you hear that? The King is willing to give us another chance. That's great! We can finally cooperate again." Sun Zhengming was very excited.

Seeing how proactive and hardworking Sun Zhengming was, Yang Xia felt embarrassed to refuse him, so he had no choice but to stay for the time being.

"Fine, since that's the case, let's cooperate one more time."

"However, we don't have much time left. The Nebula Kingdom's plans will follow one after another, so we must hurry."

Yang Xia then discussed the details of the subsequent cooperation with Sun Zhengming.

"You should contact the king now and make him do exactly what I say, then our cooperation can continue."

Yang Xia decided to take immediate action, as further hesitation would be extremely detrimental to both the Yan Kingdom and the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Alright then!" Sun Zhengming had no choice but to contact the king again.

“Your Majesty, Yang Xia is right beside me. He demands that all future cooperation must be carried out entirely according to his arrangements.”

Sun Zhengming's straightforward words caught the king somewhat off guard.

It would be impossible for the King of Yan to have no doubts.

As the ruler of a country, he must consider the entire Yan Kingdom, and naturally, he must have an attitude of skepticism towards everything.

Seeing that Yang Xia was asking him to make such a decision, the king hesitated.

If Yang Xia really has a problem, it will plunge the Yan Kingdom into crisis. The king did not respond for a long time.

"Your Majesty, please give us a reply as soon as possible. The situation is extremely urgent, and we cannot delay any longer."

Sun Zhengming hurriedly urged him on from the side; he couldn't let things go wrong again.

"Alright then, we'll do as Yang Xia says." The King of Yan finally agreed, though he was still struggling internally. "Your Majesty has agreed, what should we do next?"

Sun Zhengming acted as a bridge between them, speaking on one side and offering advice on the other, with the ultimate goal of getting Yang Xia's help.

"Arrest me first, then make a big fuss about it, make sure the people in the shadows know about this, they will definitely tell Mike."

Yang Xia began to make arrangements, while Sun Zhengming listened in stunned silence.

"Yang Xia, what exactly are you trying to do? This is outrageous! How could we possibly arrest you?"

Sun Zhengming was startled and completely failed to understand Yang Xia's intentions. To be honest, he would never have wanted to do that.

"Didn't we already agree? You must act according to my plan, otherwise our cooperation really can't continue."

Yang Xia didn't offer any further explanation, only demanding that Sun Zhengming do as he was told, leaving Sun Zhengming utterly speechless.

"Yang Xia, are we really going to arrest you?"...

Sun Zhengming felt a pang of guilt, not wanting to treat Yang Xia this way, especially since Yang Xia wouldn't explain further, fearing he might have wronged him.

"This is not the time to hesitate. Do as I say right now," Yang Xia said in a commanding tone. Sun Zhengming had no choice but to nod.

"Guards, lock Yang Xia in the First Prison and make sure it is heavily guarded."

Seeing that Yang Xia was determined to do so, Sun Zhengming immediately summoned his men to escort Yang Xia to the First Prison.

Although no one understood what was going on, they could only act according to the instructions of the highest-ranking officer.

Yang Xia was imprisoned, and the place appeared heavily guarded, as if he were a serious criminal who had committed a grave offense.

Sun Zhengming then began to create a great deal of publicity and spread the news.

Yang Xia remained calm in prison, waiting for things to unfold as they progressed; everything was going according to his plan.

Of course, being imprisoned, he couldn't be cut off from the outside world; he also had to keep a close eye on the progress of the Great Zhou Dynasty in all aspects.

As the ruler of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Yang Xia was always concerned about the situation there.

The Great Zhou Dynasty has suffered terribly, and the people are temporarily living in dire straits. Yang Xia feels particularly tormented whenever he thinks about this.

He carried a universal communicator with him, wanting to keep abreast of the situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

We can't go back anytime soon; we just hope the pandemic can be brought under control.

As for the situation here, Yang Xia was unsure when he would achieve the desired effect and could only wait patiently in prison.

After recalling the events of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Yang Xia began to contact General Mengyin and General Mengyu.

He first called Mengyin to inquire about the progress of various aspects of the Great Zhou Imperial City, and the reply he received was satisfactory.

Moreover, James is still under surveillance, and it's unknown whether he's proceeding according to his plan step by step.

"Your Majesty, we have brought James back and placed him among the people. We believe he will soon be poisoned."

Mengyin thought Yang Xia's plan was perfect and that he should cooperate fully and not let any link go wrong.

Yang Xia has devoted himself to the Great Zhou Dynasty. As the Great General of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he must do his best to resolve the current crisis together.

“Very good. Continue to monitor James’s every move and report to me if anything happens.”

Yang Xia was very satisfied with General Mengyin, and after giving him some more instructions, he hung up the phone.

Then he called General Meng Yu to inquire about the control of the epidemic.

"General Meng Yu, how is the epidemic on the island? Has it been effectively controlled? Can the Panacea Spring cure the plague?"

As soon as the call connected, Yang Xia couldn't wait to ask, eager to know the result.

This result was extremely important to him. If the all-powerful spring could truly cure this plague, he wouldn't have to be so anxious.

Then you can rest assured and help them get through the crisis, but if that's not the case, then it's troublesome.

He could not bear to watch the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty die such a tragic death.

"Your Majesty, the water of the All-Powerful Spring does have the effect of curbing the plague, but it is not significant; it can only turn severe cases into mild cases."

General Meng Yu's tone was full of anxiety. The lives of the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty were indeed quite miserable, which made them feel distressed as well.

"Your Majesty, when will you be able to return to the Great Zhou Dynasty? This situation is not sustainable; the lives of the people are too difficult."

Meng Yu was eagerly hoping that Yang Xia could return to take charge of the overall situation. They were also somewhat at a loss, and being in such an environment every day made them feel very depressed.

"I can't go back for now, but don't worry, I'll get back as soon as possible."

Yang Xia didn't know how to answer, so he could only give a few perfunctory replies. He himself didn't know when he would be able to return to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Seeing that the situation was now fraught with danger, he couldn't bear to just abandon it.

Upon hearing about the current state of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he was filled with worry and wished he could sprout wings and return immediately to resolve these issues.

"General Meng Yu, we have now reached the most critical moment. You must calm the emotions of the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty and prevent any chaos from occurring."

Yang Xia then hurriedly gave instructions on these matters.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will do it."

General Meng Yu quickly agreed, as they all knew that Yang Xia was also in a dilemma at this moment.

The affairs of the Great Xia Kingdom are also very troublesome. As a general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I must make even greater efforts at this critical moment.

Hearing General Meng Yu say that, Yang Xia finally hung up the phone with relief.

On the second day of his imprisonment, Sun Zhengming came to visit Yang Xia.

"Yang Xia, I'm sorry to have wronged you. You were supposed to help us solve our problems, but now you have to stay in prison."

Sun Zhengming felt particularly sorry for Yang Xia seeing such a situation, so he politely asked him to leave.

"What's the big deal? These are all necessary processes for the sake of the overall situation."

Yang Xia didn't take it seriously.

So what should we do next?

Sun Zhengming hurriedly asked for advice on the next steps, eager to know Yang Xia's true purpose in doing so.

To this day, Sun Zhengming is still completely baffled and has no idea what Yang Xia's real purpose is. He racks his brains but can't figure it out.

One has to admire Yang Xia's quick wit; he always manages to come up with these strange and wonderful ideas.

Although he didn't know what Yang Xia was planning to do this time, after thinking about what Yang Xia had done before, Sun Zhengming had reason to believe that Yang Xia must have come up with some clever tricks again.

They were able to acquire the enemy's advanced weapons without firing a single shot, which is something that not everyone can do.

Based on this alone, Sun Zhengming placed unlimited trust in Yang Xia.

"Immediately dispatch numerous skilled individuals to lie in ambush in the surrounding area and closely monitor anyone attempting to contact me." (End of Chapter)
