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

When he signed the unequal treaty with Cahill, Yoo Ji-soo was present and, out of schadenfreude, even chimed in.

Now that Lamu wants to cooperate with her, Yoo Ji-soo instinctively feels wary of such a person.

However, Liu Zhixiu did harbor deep hatred for Yang Xia, after all, it was the hatred of the destruction of her country, and she naturally wanted revenge.

"Alright then, I'm willing to cooperate with you. What's next?" Liu Zhixiu pretended to agree on the surface, but she didn't fully trust Ram in her heart. The two of them were just using each other.

“Very good. As long as you cooperate with me, we can suppress the Great Zhou Dynasty together.”

"Wait for my notification. We can take action once certain plans are finalized." Ram was quite pleased that Yoo Ji-soo had finally agreed to cooperate; her plan was about to come to fruition.

"When will you take me away from here? I can't do anything under Yang Xia's watchful eye." Liu Zhixiu made her request again, hoping to take the opportunity to have Lamu take her away, thus completing the first step of her plan.

“I promise I’ll take you away in a week. All you have to do now is act like nothing’s wrong and don’t attract their attention.” Ram continued to discuss with Yoo Ji-soo for a while, finalizing the plan, and then took Yoo Ji-soo away as planned a week later.

The two smiled knowingly; they both wanted to achieve their own goals.

After chatting for a while, Ram quietly left Liu Zhixiu's place, thinking that she had done it without anyone noticing and had successfully won Liu Zhixiu over to her side.

Next, Ram continued to maintain a superficial cooperation with Yang Xia, representing the Nebula Kingdom in establishing a presence in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Ram approached Yang Xia intentionally or unintentionally, partly to gather more information about the Great Zhou Dynasty, and partly to show Sun Zhengming that he knew there was a misunderstanding between Sun Zhengming and Yang Xia.

As expected, Sun Zhengming noticed that Ramu and Yang Xia had been getting quite close lately, and he couldn't help but become suspicious.

Sun Zhengming has come to the Great Zhou Dynasty with the intention of doing his best to help, but Yang Xia has not sought him out to discuss important matters for three days.

"What exactly is going on with Yang Xia? His relationship with Ram seems to be getting closer and closer. Could it be that they are really maintaining some kind of connection with the Nebula Kingdom?" The more Sun Zhengming thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He didn't want to have any more misunderstandings with Yang Xia. He had finally managed to resolve the previous conflict and hoped that the two countries could continue to cooperate amicably.

To avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Sun Zhengming began to observe the relationship between Lamu and Yang Xia.

Just as he had expected, Ram would enter Yang Xia's room every day and talk to him about something.

"It seems there's something fishy about their relationship. What should I do?" Sun Zhengming frowned.

He paced back and forth in the room, recalling the moments he had spent with Yang Xia these past few days.

Yang Xia has made many efforts for the Yan Kingdom, which is evident to all, and everyone in the Yan Kingdom is grateful for Yang Xia's contributions.

Yan Kingdom also responded positively, and Sun Zhengming immediately rushed to the Great Zhou Dynasty, wanting to sincerely offer assistance.

It was originally thought that this would restore relations between the two countries to normal.

Perhaps I was oversimplifying things; some things, once they happen, are completely different from what I had expected.

The Nebula Kingdom is still based in the Great Zhou Dynasty and has carried out a series of collaborations.

Although Yang Xia explained that the cooperation with them was only a superficial expedient, Sun Zhengming dared not fully believe it no matter what.

As Ram and Yang Xia drew closer, Sun Zhengming began to have some indescribable thoughts.

Sun Zhengming even felt agitated and didn't know how to express his emotions.

He had previously been as close as brothers with Yang Xia, trusting each other so much, and he never expected things to turn out this way.

Sun Zhengming tried hard to calm himself down, but images of Ramu and Yang Xia together kept flashing through his mind.

He had to consider the entire Yan Kingdom, because if there were any illicit cooperation between them, it would still pose a huge threat to the Yan Kingdom.

Thinking about all this made Sun Zhengming feel particularly irritable, and he couldn't help but go outside for some fresh air.

This matter is of great importance, and Sun Zhengming dared not make a decision on his own. He felt that he should perhaps discuss it with the emperor to see what attitude should be taken towards Yang Xia.

Sun Zhengming was restless and unsure of what to do. After much thought, he had no choice but to report the matter to the king, hoping that the king could make a decision.

"Your Majesty, recently Ram from the Nebula Kingdom has been very close to Yang Xia, and has even been somewhat cold towards me."

“I suspect that the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Xingyun Kingdom have some kind of close cooperation, but I’m also afraid that misunderstandings might arise, leading to further conflicts with the Great Zhou Dynasty.” Sun Zhengming expressed his inner conflict to the King of Yan Kingdom, as he truly did not know how to resolve the current problem.

"General Sun, please calm down and observe their next move. Don't jump to conclusions. We should still give Yang Xia our full trust." The King of Yan could tell that Sun Zhengming was extremely agitated at the moment. Doing anything under such circumstances would be affected, so he could only offer some words of comfort first.

The King of Yan, after considering various factors, was willing to trust Yang Xia and give him full confidence.

They still remembered everything Yang Xia had done for Yan Kingdom. They could not easily forget it. As human beings, we must not forget our roots. We should always keep in mind the kindness of others.

As for what happens next, the King of Yan believes there will eventually be a resolution.

"Your Majesty, I understand." After hearing these words from the King of Yan, Sun Zhengming finally felt a little more at ease.

Sun Zhengming then secretly observed as instructed by the king to see what they would do next, hoping that he was overthinking it and that Yang Xia's feelings for Yan Kingdom might never have changed.

On the other side, Ram was ready to take action. He had arranged a time to escape with Yoo Ji-soo, so he naturally had to make thorough preparations.

General Meng Yu would go to the training ground to drill the soldiers every day, which had become a routine. Seeing this opportunity, Ram bribed the people in the prison.

Ram spent a lot of money on this, but it was nothing to the Nebula Kingdom. Of course, various efforts were needed to achieve the subsequent plans.

After taking Yoo Ji-soo out of the prison, they dressed her in the clothes of a palace attendant.

Liu Zhixiu has now become Ram's eunuch, mingling among them.

The two were finally able to secretly collude and wait for further action. Liu Zhixiu confidently stayed by Lamu's side, determined to seize the opportunity to counterattack.

Ram began to push his luck and make demands of the Nebula Kingdom to Yang Xia.

Since it's a collaboration, one should want to see each other's sincerity. Ram took advantage of this idea to make some excessive demands.

"Your Majesty, to be honest, our Nebula Kingdom has taken a liking to some of your country's advanced weapons and hopes that you can donate some of them for free."

"In this way, the cooperative relationship between our two countries can be further improved," Ram shamelessly made this request, yet presented it in a high-sounding manner.

He understood that this was a crucial period for cooperation between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Xingyun Kingdom, and Yang Xia would certainly not refuse these requests.

If refused, the consequences would be severe, and it would quickly escalate into a conflict between the two countries.

Yang Xia would never do such a thing; he had gone to great lengths to maintain the friendly relations between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Xingyun Kingdom.

Given this, Ram used this idea to make related demands, and it must be said that Ram's cunning exceeded their expectations.

"Sure, no problem. Our Great Zhou Dynasty is willing to donate these high-end weapons to the Nebula Kingdom free of charge to show our sincerity in cooperation." Yang Xia chuckled, naturally understanding Ram's true intentions. This was a crucial period for cooperation between the two countries, so he certainly wouldn't refuse. "Your Majesty, you really agree? It seems the Great Zhou Dynasty is indeed generous and righteous. Our Nebula Kingdom will certainly cooperate well with the Great Zhou Dynasty." Ram hadn't expected Yang Xia to agree so readily; although it was somewhat expected, she couldn't help but feel excited.

“Yes, how could we joke about something like this? Our Great Zhou Dynasty has always been sincere in cooperating with the Xingyun Kingdom.” Seeing Ram’s smug face, Yang Xia didn’t pay much attention to it. As long as everything was still under control, he could give the Xingyun Kingdom some sweetness.

If the Nebula Kingdom oversteps its bounds, Yang Xia will retaliate without hesitation, but for now everything is still under control, and Yang Xia will not dwell on it too much.

"Then it's a deal. Thank you for your gift, Your Majesty. I will immediately report to the high-ranking leaders of the Nebula Kingdom. I believe they will be very pleased." Ram was smug, feeling that his plan had finally been partially completed, and he hoped to continue to control the Great Zhou Dynasty.

After receiving a satisfactory reply, Ram left contentedly and immediately reported back to his superiors.

As agreed with Ram, Yang Xia donated those advanced weapons to the Nebula Kingdom free of charge.
The news quickly reached Sun Zhengming's ears, and he couldn't help but frown. It seemed that many of his previous guesses might be true.

Yang Xia's cooperation with the Nebula Kingdom may not be just for show; now they are even giving away such advanced weapons for free.

If such cooperation is merely superficial, Sun Zhengming truly doesn't know how to express his inner thoughts.

"No, I have to go find Yang Xia and get to the bottom of this. He has to give me a reasonable explanation. What's going on here? This is getting more and more outrageous."

Sun Zhengming felt increasingly depressed. He couldn't explain what was happening and was determined to have a good talk with Yang Xia. Some things couldn't be kept inside, otherwise, he would only become more frustrated.

Thinking of all this, Sun Zhengming walked towards Yang Xia's room, his face full of anger, feeling that the matter was more complicated than he had imagined.

Halfway there, they unexpectedly encountered a poppy.

"General Sun, where are you headed? Has something happened? Why do you look so displeased?"

Yu Meiren was perceptive and noticed Sun Zhengming's angry state at a glance, naturally understanding that something important had happened.

"I need to ask Yang Xia why he gave away so many advanced weapons to the Nebula Kingdom for free. What is his intention?"

"You keep saying you'll cooperate with my Yan Kingdom, but it's probably not that simple. How could you, as an ally of Yan Kingdom, do such an absurd thing?"

Sun Zhengming became furious when these things were mentioned, and he was unable to calm down at all.

But he forgot that Yu Meiren was, after all, Yang Xia's wife, and naturally she would consider things from Yang Xia's perspective more.

To be fair, Yu Meiren already detested war, and she was quite supportive of Yang Xia's efforts to maintain cooperation with other countries.

Yu Meiren was overjoyed as long as war could be avoided.

These days I feel more and more hopeful about life, and I also hope that Yang Xia's idea of ​​peaceful coexistence can gain more recognition from other countries.

Unexpectedly, Sun Zhengming said these words, which made Yu Meiren instantly annoyed.

The Great Zhou Dynasty has made many efforts for the Yan Kingdom, all for the sake of the Yan Kingdom, for fear that they might misunderstand.

Some time ago, Yan Kingdom misunderstood Yang Xia, and the two countries almost broke off relations because of it. It was only with great difficulty that they were able to restore some of their relationship.

Now, seeing Sun Zhengming's aggressive attitude again, Yu Meiren was very unhappy.

She believed that the Great Zhou Dynasty simply wanted to unite all countries, and was not afraid of anyone.

Thinking of these things, Yu Meiren's emotions suddenly became agitated, and she was unwilling to calmly explain anything.

"Yang Xia is the king of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He can do whatever he wants, and it has nothing to do with others."

Yu Meiren never expected that she would say such a thing so inexplicably.

"I never expected that your Great Zhou Dynasty would have such an attitude. It seems that my Yan Kingdom has been presumptuous."

Sun Zhengming grew angrier the more he thought about it, and finally stormed off, thus ending their falling out.

Yu Meiren was also very angry. She felt that Sun Zhengming did not understand Yang Xia's good intentions at all.

Yang Xia always considered the interests of other countries, hoping to unite more neighboring countries and enable their people to live and work in peace and contentment, but Sun Zhengming was always so aggressive.

Moreover, Yang Xia had his own plans. He would not give those advanced weapons to the Nebula Kingdom intact, allowing them to turn their cannons against the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Yang Xia had seen through the ambitions of the Nebula Kingdom, but was simply waiting for the right opportunity.

However, Sun Zhengming's attitude was unexpectedly agitated, and he was quite resistant to Yang Xia's actions.

Perhaps some things are not as easy as they seem.

Yang Xia could only silently persist according to his own ideas, hoping that everything could proceed as originally planned.

Yang Xia was unaware that Sun Zhengming had come to see him, and even less aware that Sun Zhengming had a verbal altercation with Yu Meiren.

Neither of them brought it up again, but the misunderstanding only deepened in their hearts.

"It seems that Yang Xia is no longer the same Yang Xia as before. He is determined to cooperate with Xingyun Kingdom, which means he is going to be an enemy of Yan Kingdom."

"The Yan Kingdom can no longer trust the Great Zhou Dynasty so much, or it might suffer a great loss at any time."

Sun Zhengming thought bitterly to himself, even considering leaving the Great Zhou Dynasty and returning directly to the Yan Kingdom.

If not for the king's reassurance, Son Jeong-min would have been completely unable to control his actions.

"General Meng, please personally deliver these weapons to the Nebula Kingdom."
Yang Xia ordered General Meng Yu to personally transport the weapons to Xingyun Kingdom, and naturally, he had to fulfill his promise.

"Your Majesty, are you really going to give these advanced weapons to the Nebula Kingdom for free?"

"The people of Xingyun Kingdom are ambitious. If they were to turn their cannons against my Great Zhou Dynasty, we would be in trouble."

General Meng Yu couldn't help but express his concerns.

“I am well aware of the Nebula Kingdom’s ambitions and that they have already ordered the weapons to be modified so that their power is reduced to half.”

Yang Xia told General Meng Yu what he had done, and only then did everyone realize what had happened.

It turned out that everything was under Yang Xia's control. Of course, he would not hand over those advanced weapons, let alone give them to the ambitious Nebula Kingdom.

"Your Majesty is wise. It turns out that Your Majesty had already thought of a solution. It seems that we were all worried for nothing."

General Meng Yu smiled with satisfaction. Following Yang Xia, they didn't need to think too much; they only needed to do as Yang Xia instructed.

Hearing Yang Xia's words, General Meng Yu felt reassured and sent the weapons to Xingyun Kingdom. (End of Chapter)
