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

It seemed that someone had already bribed people in the prison to release Liu Zhixiu, and he quickly told Yang Xia the news.

“Your Majesty, Yoo Ji-soo may have already been taken away; he is not in prison at all.”

General Mengyin was very frustrated, feeling that he had failed in his duty in this regard.

"I see. It seems that Ram took Yoo Ji-soo away. There is no other explanation."

Yang Xia suddenly realized that the person behind Lamu was Liu Zhixiu.

"Your Majesty, what should we do? That Liu Zhixiu hates the Great Zhou Dynasty to the bone, so she will instigate Ram to do some bad things to catch us off guard."

General Mengyin was suddenly extremely worried, and this incident was the best proof of that.

The fact that Ram actually used the weather system gifted by the Great Zhou Dynasty to deal with the Yan Kingdom shows that the other side has completely disregarded other aspects.

Once they've made up their minds to oppose the Great Zhou Dynasty, things won't be easy for them from now on.

"Yes, that Liu Zhixiu is treacherous and cunning. Of course, she won't let this go so easily and will continue to stir up trouble behind the scenes."

"If they join forces with Ram, the consequences will be unimaginable. Nobody knows what outrageous things they might do next."

Yang Xia also realized the seriousness of the problem, which might exceed their expectations. This matter needed to be carefully considered to minimize the losses.

"General Meng, go and invite some neighboring countries to celebrate my birthday together. Use this opportunity to test Ram."

Yang Xia immediately instructed General Mengyin to invite representatives from some neighboring countries, including Ram.

During the banquet, Yang Xia deliberately toasted Ram, carefully observing the changes in her expression.

As the saying goes, a guilty conscience needs no accuser, but Ram's expression remained unchanged as he continued to chat and laugh with Yang Xia.

Yang Xia was speechless at Ram's mental fortitude. It seemed that some people were just shameless, doing bad things but refusing to admit it.

These matters are of great importance, and Yang Xia did not want to let them go so easily. Since Ram was pretending to be stupid, Yang Xia decided to ask her indirectly.

"Lamu, isn't the weather system that our Great Zhou Dynasty gifted you particularly useful? Have you used the weather system to do any experiments?"

Yang Xia steered the conversation to this point, hoping that Lamu would admit her mistake.

"I don't know what you're talking about. How could such a precious treasure be used so easily? It would only be taken out in a critical moment of war."

Ram understood that Yang Xia was trying to test him, but he was stubborn and would never admit to doing those things.

"Wasn't it you who did the things in Yan Kingdom? No one else could have accomplished all of this without the weather system."

Yang Xia cut to the chase, wanting to see how the other party would try to argue.

"Your Majesty, you are wronging me. The severe weather in Yan Kingdom is likely caused by nature. I really did not use the weather system arbitrarily."

Ram refused to admit it no matter what, leaving Yang Xia speechless.

"Stop making excuses, you were the one who did the things in Yan Kingdom."

Seeing the other party's attitude, Yang Xia bluntly stated his position.

Ram's expression changed, unsure how to defend himself.

What is the purpose of doing this?

Yang Xia pressed on, wanting to know the other party's purpose in doing so.

"Yang Xia, I really don't understand what you're talking about. Although you gifted our Nebula Kingdom high-end weapons, you can't just falsely accuse people like that..." Ram remained defiant, refusing to admit he had done anything wrong. Yang Xia felt this man was utterly shameless; this matter couldn't be left unresolved, otherwise the other party would definitely take advantage of him in the future.

"You might be able to fool others with this kind of thing, but you can't fool me at all, since the meteorological system originally belonged to me." Yang Xia also stood his ground.

Seeing that things had come to this point, Ram knew she couldn't evade the issue and had no choice but to admit it.

"Alright, to tell you the truth, I just wanted to test the power of the weather system, but I didn't expect you to deceive me. It's not as powerful as I imagined at all." Ram admitted that he had used the weather system, but then turned his attention to Yang Xia and started settling scores with him.

They had witnessed the power of the weather system on the battlefield before. Now, Ram, who was eager to use it to wreak havoc on Yan Kingdom, had not expected that its power would be greatly reduced, and he himself was filled with resentment.

Yang Xia had anticipated such doubts from the other party, but he had also prepared a response.

"These weapons are too powerful and will also cause some pollution. I made this decision out of consideration for the Nebula Nation." Yang Xia responded to Ram's questioning under the guise of thinking about the Nebula Nation.

"Heh, you've really gone to a lot of trouble to consider things so thoroughly for our Nebula Kingdom." Ram sneered when he heard Yang Xia give such an excuse.

He naturally understood that Yang Xia was just using this as an excuse; what they valued were the powerful weapons of the Great Zhou Dynasty, not those with halved power. But these things were, after all, products of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and despite his resentment, he was powerless to change it.

"Our Great Zhou Dynasty sincerely wants to cooperate with the Xingyun Kingdom, and of course we must consider the Xingyun Kingdom from all aspects." Yang Xia used the other party's own methods against him. Since the other party was pretending to be stupid, he would naturally continue to deal with him.

"Since that's the case, there's no need for us to continue this discussion. I must take my leave now, as I'm busy with official duties." Ram left angrily, knowing he was no match for Yang Xia and had gained no advantage after their exchange.

Next, Ramu certainly wouldn't let it go. Fortunately, she had already won Liu Zhixiu over to her side and was determined to deal with the Great Zhou Dynasty properly.

Thinking of all this, Ram left the scene in anger. Although she did not openly break ties with Yang Xia, she was actually at odds with him.

Upon returning, he prepared to work with Liu Zhixiu to find another way to deal with the Great Zhou Dynasty.

He found Yoo Ji-soo to be quite quick-witted, worthy of a former monarch, and perhaps bringing Yoo Ji-soo to his side was the right choice.

Yang Xia kept his gaze fixed on Lamu and the people around him, trying to find some unusual details about him.

Persistence pays off, and Yang Xia indeed discovered the anomaly.

Ram was unusually intimate with one of his eunuchs, and their subtle, unintentional interactions revealed something amiss. How could someone as arrogant as Ram have such a close relationship with his eunuch?
Yang Xia immediately realized that this eunuch's identity was definitely not simple.

Recalling Ram's strange behavior over this period, it must be related to someone close to her. Previously, when they noticed Liu Zhixiu's mysterious disappearance, Yang Xia boldly guessed that Liu Zhixiu must be with Ram. Now, noticing Ram's close relationship with a eunuch, it naturally aroused his suspicion again. Perhaps finding out the eunuch's identity would answer many questions.

Ram is completely different now than before. Perhaps because he has a master guiding him, he is much more arrogant and doesn't take Yang Xia seriously at all, but they haven't broken off relations yet.

But at this rate of development, it's only a matter of time before they break off relations. If Liu Zhixiu is truly hiding by Lamu's side, she will continue to come up with terrible ideas, and the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Yan Kingdom will never have peace.

"It seems we must find out the truth behind this as soon as possible; it will be very helpful in resolving the subsequent troubles." Yang Xia made up his mind, knowing what to do next.

Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory. Yang Xia must thoroughly understand his opponent's situation to determine how to proceed. Otherwise, he would be like a blind man touching an elephant, acting solely on intuition, which would certainly not work.

Yang Xia waved to General Meng Yu.

"General Meng, I suspect that the eunuch beside Ram has a questionable identity. You must find out his identity, as it is crucial to our subsequent plans." Yang Xia hurriedly gave the order, determined to find out the identity of the person beside Ram.

"Your Majesty, I will investigate immediately. No matter what means I use, I will find out the identity of the person beside him." General Mengyin knew that this matter was of great importance and immediately launched an investigation. However, the investigation did not go smoothly.

To keep Yoo Ji-soo by her side without attracting attention, Ram used a disguise technique to change her appearance. Furthermore, Yoo Ji-soo generally doesn't interact with anyone around her, only communicating with Ram when they are alone.

This made General Meng's investigation extremely difficult. However, through persistent efforts, he still managed to uncover some secrets between Ram and the eunuch.

Those around him could attest that this strange eunuch was brought back from the Great Zhou Dynasty by Ram, and that his interactions with Ram were particularly odd. After some investigation, General Meng finally confirmed that the eunuch was indeed Liu Zhixiu, and he hurriedly reported the results to Yang Xia.

"Your Majesty, the investigation results are in. The eunuch beside Ram is indeed Liu Zhixiu. This is a huge problem. That guy will definitely keep causing trouble." General Meng quickly explained the situation to Yang Xia, while his heart was filled with apprehension.

They all knew that trouble would follow; they had already experienced Liu Zhixiu's cunning and treachery firsthand. Now that she had come with a heart full of hatred, she would naturally continue to target the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Yang Xia nodded; all of this was within their expectations. From the moment Liu Zhixiu colluded with Lamu, they intended to join forces against the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, I will immediately lead men to arrest Liu Zhixiu and execute her. That will settle the matter once and for all." General Meng Yu could no longer contain his anger and wanted to arrest Liu Zhixiu immediately.

"This matter requires careful consideration. Liu Zhixiu is currently by Lamu's side and is naturally under strict protection. If we are not careful, she will fall into their trap." Yang Xia disagreed with General Meng Yu's rash decision to arrest someone from Lamu's side, as the chances of success were too slim.

If things go wrong, we might expose ourselves, and it will be incredibly difficult to catch them again later.

"Your Majesty, this won't work, that won't work, are we just going to let Liu Zhixiu stay by Ram's side and cause trouble? We must get rid of him as soon as possible to restore peace to the Great Zhou Dynasty." General Meng Yu was getting anxious; he wished he could execute Liu Zhixiu immediately.

Yang Xia didn't answer, but fell into deep thought. He had to come up with a foolproof plan to ensure that Liu Zhixiu could be brought to justice.

"I have a plan, I'm sure I can capture Liu Zhixiu." After a moment, Yang Xia suddenly said to General Meng Yu with delight.

"Your Majesty, what exactly is the plan?" General Meng Yu's eyes immediately lit up with excitement. He knew that Yang Xia must have come up with a brilliant idea.

Having followed Yang Xia for so long, he understands Yang Xia very well and can always come up with excellent solutions to the problems they face.

"General Meng Yu, immediately issue a decree to the world that we will now send troops to set up camp on the former territory of Hongbing Kingdom for General Meng Yu to use for training soldiers." Yang Xia suddenly issued this order, clearly intending to provoke Liu Zhixiu in order to lure the snake out of its hole.

Although the Red Army Kingdom has perished, in Liu Zhixiu's eyes, that territory still belongs to it. Yang Xia's actions are a blatant insult, unacceptable to anyone. Unless Liu Zhixiu is dead, she will surely find a way to appear on that land.

"Your Majesty is wise. This plan will surely lure Liu Zhixiu out, and then we will only need to take action." General Meng Yu also gave his full approval when he heard Yang Xia's plan.

General Meng Yu immediately issued a decree to the world as Yang Xia had requested, spreading the news.

As expected, Liu Zhixiu nearly coughed up blood upon hearing the news.

"Damn Yang Xia, I will never let him go, I will kill Yang Xia!" Liu Zhixiu could not control her excitement and immediately asked Ram to provide her with advanced weapons.

"Yang Xia actually wants to set up camp on our land. I will never agree to that. Please equip me with weapons immediately. I want to assassinate Yang Xia." Liu Zhixiu kept repeating her demands like a madwoman, and no amount of persuasion from Lamu could change her mind.

The cunning Ram naturally understood that this was Yang Xia's deliberate trickery, aimed at provoking Liu Zhixiu.

After a moment's thought, Ram realized this was a conspiracy orchestrated by Yang Xia, intended to lure Liu Zhixiu out and then eliminate her.
Liu Zhixiu still has some use to me right now, so I can't let him die in vain.

"You cannot go. This journey is extremely dangerous. Yang Xia is trying to provoke you. Once you go out, your life will be in danger."

Seeing that Yoo Ji-soo was so stubborn, Lamu bluntly pointed out the consequences.

"How can I swallow this insult? Yang Xia is going too far, actually wanting to train soldiers on our homeland. It would be better to just kill me!"

Liu Zhixiu's face immediately showed a pained expression. If she could not get rid of Yang Xia with her own hands, this situation would be unbearable.

"Even so, you must be patient. A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan. If you are killed by Yang Xia, everything will be over."

Despite seeing Yoo Ji-soo in such pain, Lamu still tried her best to dissuade her.

He couldn't let Liu Zhixiu be eliminated by Yang Xia at this moment, as that would be a great loss for Xingyun Kingdom.

Having finally managed to bring Yoo Ji-soo to his side, he naturally wanted to make good use of her. Everything had just begun, and Ram would never allow this to happen.

Upon hearing Ram's words, Yoo Ji-soo immediately fell into a painful struggle.

He was truly unwilling to let Yang Xia do as he pleased on his homeland, but what Ram said also made sense; perhaps Yang Xia had deliberately set a trap to lure him out and then kill him.

This situation is causing Yoo Ji-soo immense distress; she truly doesn't know what to do.

After a moment, Yoo Ji-soo decided to take a step back in dealing with the matter.

As long as Yang Xia can retract his order and stop training soldiers on the homeland of Hongbing Kingdom, that will be fine.

However, such a thing naturally requires someone to persuade Yang Xia before he might change his mind.

Liu Zhixiu then decided to send Lamu to the Great Zhou Dynasty to fulfill her wish.

"Alright then, unless you dissuade Yang Xia from doing this, I will not carry out the assassination. Otherwise, there is no room for negotiation; I am determined to kill Yang Xia." (End of Chapter)
