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

[Your Majesty, the sight of you two so loving is truly enviable. The King is truly blessed to have married such a gentle and kind woman.]

Fans expressed their envy of Yang Xia for marrying such a woman, praising Yu Meiren.

Thank you all for your concern. I haven't actually done anything special; I'm just an ordinary woman.

Yu Meiren was so flattered by the fans' praise that she didn't know what to say.

Everyone is right, I am indeed a blessed man, having married a virtuous wife.

Because Yu Meiren takes such good care of my daily life, I am able to devote more time to state affairs.

Yang Xia doesn't hide his relationship with Yu Meiren, which makes his fans even more envious.

Yu Meiren's thoughtfulness and consideration saved Yang Xia a lot of trouble, and besides, she was his soulmate, knowing what Yang Xia was thinking.

He always helped Yang Xia handle many trivial matters, allowing him to devote himself wholeheartedly to the affairs of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The two interacted freely with netizens in the live broadcast room, making everyone feel at ease.

No wonder these fans have a great fondness for Yang Xia and Yu Meiren, and even more so, respect for them.

They happily gifted Yang Xia and Yu Meiren a lot of small gifts, and their points gradually accumulated.

Yang Xia understood that accumulating points in this way was still a bit slow. If tasks appeared in the system, he would still need to actively complete them to earn more points.

Su Qi has lifted the block on Yang Xia, and the people of Yan can see Yang Xia's live stream again.

Previously, Yan people had a very good impression of Yang Xia and liked to chat in his live broadcast room, so many Yan people flocked in as soon as it was opened.

[Yang Xia, it's been a long time. What's the current state of relations between your Great Zhou Dynasty and the Xingyun Kingdom?]

Fans couldn't help but inquire about these aspects, knowing that due to some misunderstandings, the Yan Kingdom and the Great Zhou Dynasty had almost become enemies.

The fact that the shield against Yang Xia has finally been lifted indicates that relations between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Yan Kingdom have been restored.

They were naturally even more curious about the relationship between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Xingyun Kingdom.

From this, we can judge in what direction the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Yan Kingdom will develop. Of course, they hope that the two countries can live in harmony.

Our Great Zhou Dynasty has established some cooperative relations with the Xingyun Kingdom, but we'll have to wait and see how they perform.

If the people of Xingyun Kingdom could be as warm and open-minded as those of Yan Kingdom, then peaceful coexistence would be possible.

Yang Xia did not conceal the fact that he was cooperating with Xingyun Kingdom and was willing to be honest with him.

Of course, the Nebula Kingdom was ambitious and did not intend to cooperate sincerely with Yang Xia; they only wanted to use him. Yang Xia was not afraid of them.

They have the ability to turn against each other, and once the Nebula Kingdom and Yang Xia break off relations, they will not gain any benefit.

Unlike the Yan Kingdom, they had already established a friendly cooperative relationship, so there was no need to hide anything.

Yang Xia, are you really planning to cooperate with the Nebula Kingdom?

Upon hearing this, Yan Guo's fans had mixed feelings, and they were naturally worried.

Yes, but only if the Nebula Kingdom is completely open and honest.

Yang Xia spoke with absolute certainty, but the people from Xingyun Kingdom had different thoughts after watching the live broadcast.

"I doubt that Yang Xia can sincerely cooperate with us. He might turn against us at any time."

The high-ranking officials of Xingyun Kingdom are also very hypocritical. They are not sincere to begin with, but they demand that Yang Xia cooperate with them sincerely.

"Yes, I also think Yang Xia is a menace. We might as well get rid of him."

Those high-ranking leaders who supported killing Yang Xia stood up again, always believing that Yang Xia could not be allowed to live, as he might launch a crazy attack on Xingyun Kingdom at any time.

"But Yang Xia possesses advanced technology that we cannot reach. If we break off relations, we will never be able to obtain it."

Another group thought of Yang Xia's weather controller; they dreamed of obtaining this magical artifact, which would be of great help to their war effort.

"Why don't we conduct our own research? Once we break through this high-tech method of controlling the weather, we can kill Yang Xia immediately."

After deliberation, the high-ranking officials of the Nebula Kingdom determined the following goal.

They decided to intensify their research. If they could develop a weather controller on their own, they would have no qualms about targeting Yang Xia and would then certainly strike him dead.

The people of Xingyun Kingdom are cunning and treacherous; they have no intention of cooperating properly with Yang Xia.

Now that they've realized something's wrong, they've made these preparations immediately. Once Yang Xia is no longer of any use to them, these people's true colors will be revealed.

General Meng Yu led his troops to garrison in the Nebula Kingdom, hoping to learn their advanced technology and superior combat strategies. ...

The high-ranking officials in the Nebula Kingdom were particularly cunning. They simply treated the country to good food and drink, but refused to show off their advanced weapons.

"General Meng, please feel free to ask if you need anything. Please forgive any shortcomings in our hospitality."

These high-ranking officials appeared very enthusiastic and treated Meng Yu with great respect, but they concealed their true intentions in various ways.

"His Majesty has ordered us to share your country's advanced weaponry here, and we hope to showcase it in great detail."

Seeing that these people were all pretending to be stupid and had no intention of showing off their advanced weapons, General Meng Yu made a direct request to them.

"General Meng, these weapons are the most advanced weapons our Nebula Kingdom currently possesses; there are none more advanced than these."

The people from Nebula Kingdom spoke with smiles, but they would never tell the truth, much less reveal their advanced weapons.

General Meng Yu was furious. He had clearly witnessed their strength during the previous battle, and they were not like this at all.

He wanted to break off relations, but he was afraid of ruining Yang Xia's entire plan, so he could only suppress his anger.

Meng Yu became increasingly unwilling to accept this, so he simply called Yang Xia.

"Your Majesty, these people from the Nebula Kingdom are too cunning. They are very hospitable on the surface, treating us to good food and drink, but all their high-end weapons are hidden and they will never show them to us."

General Meng Yu angrily recounted this situation, leaving them feeling quite helpless.

"General Meng, don't worry, it's normal for them to do this." "The people of Xingyun Kingdom are inherently treacherous and cunning, this is all within our expectations."

Yang Xia was not in a hurry; he had anticipated these situations.

"But Your Majesty, we can't share their advanced weapons like this, and staying here doesn't seem to be of much use."

General Meng Yu was getting impatient, wondering why Yang Xia remained so calm and composed.

“We can observe secretly, but we still have to rely on ourselves for some things. We can’t get anything by relying on those people from the Nebula Kingdom.”

Yang Xia smiled mysteriously, and General Meng Yu finally understood.

In fact, Yang Xia did not intend to share advanced weapons with them. The people of Nebula Kingdom were not so generous, and they were also scheming to plunder his high technology.

To continuously improve the high-end weapons of the Great Zhou Dynasty, they must be exchanged from the system and continuously upgraded.

On the surface, the purpose of stationing in Xingyun Kingdom was for joint learning and exchange, but it was just for show for Xingyun Kingdom. Yang Xia already had a complete plan in mind.

"Your Majesty, I know what to do. Everything still depends on Your Majesty."

Meng Yu admired Yang Xia even more, and decided that he should follow Yang Xia's arrangements in everything.

The high-ranking officials in the Nebula Kingdom were also trying to deal with Yang Xia, studying weather controllers and devising new tricks.

"Yang Xia, we also want to send soldiers from Xingyun Kingdom to learn from the advanced aspects of the Zhou Dynasty, so we can learn from and exchange ideas with each other."

The high-ranking officials of the Nebula Kingdom actually made such a phone call to Yang Xia, wanting the soldiers of the Nebula Kingdom to also be stationed in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

On the one hand, they were actively researching high technology, and on the other hand, they wanted to keep bothering Yang Xia and learn more advanced things from him.

"Sure, no problem. People from your Nebula Kingdom can come anytime."

Yang Xia readily agreed, which made the high-ranking officials of Xingyun Kingdom quite pleased, as it seemed that Yang Xia was not as difficult to deal with as they had imagined.

These people from Xingyun Kingdom certainly didn't have good intentions; they were scheming all the time.

Yang Xia was also afraid that Su Qi would misunderstand the matter, so he took the initiative to find Su Qi and explain the situation.

“Brother Su, those people from Xingyun Kingdom have requested to come to the Great Zhou Dynasty for study and exchange, so we have no choice but to let them come.”

Yang Xia openly told Su Qi everything, hoping to cooperate sincerely with him.

"Yang Xia, you're inviting a wolf into the house! How can you agree to this?"

Su Qi was naturally shocked upon hearing this news.

Yang Xia remained tight-lipped, but he certainly didn't agree to Xingyun Kingdom's request casually; he had considered it from various perspectives.

This move was also intended to reassure the Nebula Kingdom and prevent the two countries from going to war at this time.

So far, the time is not yet ripe, and Yang Xia is waiting.

"Brother Su, don't worry, I know what I'm doing in these matters, there won't be any problems."

Yang Xia couldn't say much to Su Qi, so he could only comfort him and hope that the other party could completely trust him.

What their two countries need to do now is to trust each other and cooperate.

“Yang Xia, whatever your considerations, we must not allow the people of Xingyun Kingdom to occupy the Great Zhou Dynasty. It will not benefit either of us.” “Those people from Xingyun Kingdom are ambitious and have no good intentions at all, so we should stay away from them and not let them ruin our cooperation.” Sun Zhengming kept persuading Yang Xia, hoping that he would listen to his advice. There was still time, after all, those people from Xingyun Kingdom had not yet set off.

"This matter is settled and cannot be easily changed. There are indeed reasons for doing this, and I hope you can understand." Yang Xia's attitude was very firm, leaving no room for change. Regardless of whether Sun Zhengming could understand, he had to act this way. The Xingyun Kingdom was quite powerful in all aspects, and the threat it posed to them remained serious. Now was not the best time to start a war. Yang Xia had made this decision after careful consideration.

"Yang Xia, I really didn't expect you to be so stubborn. Aren't you worried that there will be problems between us?" Sun Zhengming was very angry and said this directly. He was also afraid that the previous scene would repeat itself. Once the two sides got into a stalemate, it would trigger a series of consequences.

"Brother Sun, now is another time to test us. As I said before, only with full trust can we achieve our goal." Yang Xia didn't want to explain too much, as these were confidential matters.

"I advise you to think it over carefully. You'll regret doing this." Unable to persuade Yang Xia, Sun Zhengming stormed off in anger.

Back home, Sun Zhengming grew increasingly uneasy. If Yang Xia continued to act this way, misunderstandings between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Yan Kingdom would surely arise. Although he was willing to trust Yang Xia, seeing the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Xingyun Kingdom growing closer together, conflict was inevitable.

Disturbed and confused, Sun Zhengming summoned Yu Meiren directly.

“Yang Xia is too stubborn. He actually allowed people from Xingyun Kingdom to settle in the Great Zhou Dynasty. What’s going on?” Sun Zhengming angrily told Yu Meiren about the situation.

"Yes, what kind of situation does this put our Yan Kingdom in?" Yu Meiren was also very shocked after hearing this; neither of them had expected such an outcome.

“You have a good relationship with the Imperial Concubine, so why don’t you try to discuss it with her and together dissuade Yang Xia from this absurd behavior?” Sun Zhengming asked Yu Meiren to persuade Yang Xia through Ni Qing. Yu Meiren readily agreed, as they all felt that Yang Xia’s actions were somewhat inappropriate.

Yu Meiren pretended to have a normal chat with Ni Qing, and then came looking for her again.

"Your Majesty, the Great Zhou Dynasty is becoming increasingly powerful. Is it appropriate to invite the Xingyun Kingdom here for learning and exchange? Those people have ulterior motives." Yu Meiren subtly expressed her thoughts, unwilling for the Great Zhou Dynasty to get too close to the Xingyun Kingdom.

Ni Qing naturally understood Yu Meiren's true thoughts, which were still doubts about the relationship between Xingyun Kingdom and the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"To be honest, I think Your Majesty's move is very prudent. I also do not wish for war to break out. It would be better if all countries could coexist peacefully." Ni Qing spoke from the heart. She had never liked war and actually admired Yang Xia's approach. Yu Meiren was quite angry at her words.

But not wanting to openly confront Ni Qing, he left unhappily.

After leaving Ni Qing's place, Yu Meiren quickly found Sun Zhengming.

“General Sun, Yang Xia and Ni Qing are simply insane. They are maintaining such close communication and cooperation with Xingyun Kingdom. If this continues, it may be extremely detrimental to our Yan Kingdom,” Yu Meiren told Sun Zhengming, expressing her concerns.

“Yes, I’m also very worried about this, but Yang Xia is very stubborn and insists on maintaining this kind of cooperation with Xingyun Kingdom.” “Although Yang Xia keeps assuring that the cooperation with Xingyun Kingdom is conditional and that he will not be controlled by the other party, I still feel that something is wrong.” Sun Zhengming was quite helpless when he talked about this. They could not understand Yang Xia’s approach.

"No, I must report this situation to the King immediately and ask him to make the decision himself." Sun Zhengming finally told the King of Yan about the situation in detail.

"Continue to closely monitor the cooperation between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Xingyun Kingdom, and do not act rashly." The king was also unable to make a decision for a moment, and finally gave this reply.

Yang Xia observed all of Sun Zhengming's actions but refrained from intervening. Yang Xia also wanted to see if the people of Yan Kingdom truly trusted him—a crucial question. Yang Xia had already emphasized these points and hoped the people of Yan Kingdom could withstand the test.

"General Meng, the soldiers sent by the Xingyun Kingdom have arrived in the waters of the Great Zhou Dynasty. His Majesty has ordered us to go and greet them," Meng Yu's subordinate hurriedly reported.

"Those people from Xingyun Kingdom have actually come to our Great Zhou Dynasty for exchange and learning. What exactly does Your Majesty intend to do? I really don't understand it anymore." General Meng Yu was completely bewildered. He couldn't see through Yang Xia's intentions before, but he couldn't stop him.

Now that the people from Xingyun Kingdom had indeed arrived, General Meng Yu's feelings were quite complicated. However, he could not disobey Yang Xia's orders and had no choice but to go out to greet them. (End of Chapter)
