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

People took to the streets to pressure Yang Xia into agreeing to sell Wujiu.

The situation in Yan Kingdom was also particularly bad, and the ruler of Yan Kingdom felt unprecedented pressure.

But under Yang Xia's reassurance, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and resist the pressure, refusing to rescind the order to ban the sale of Wujiu.

At this time, following Liu Zhixiu's suggestion, Xingyun Kingdom secretly opened some sales channels in Yan Kingdom and the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Those who finally obtained sales channels went on a buying spree of Wujiu, with some merchants even going bankrupt because of it.

"Hahahahaha..."

"Now, our Wujiu wine can still be sold continuously, and a lot of silver can flow into our Nebula Kingdom again."

Ram laughed loudly, seeing a glimmer of hope that their wicked plan could continue indefinitely.

In a short time, wealthy merchants from Yan Kingdom and the Great Zhou Dynasty were willing to go bankrupt to buy Wujiu, not to mention ordinary people.

They were so afraid of not being able to buy Wujiu that they would stock up on large quantities each time, which actually made sales even more successful.

The Nebula Kingdom quickly became the one with the fullest treasury among the three kingdoms, so rich it was practically overflowing with wealth.

"Great! Our national treasury is now full, let's develop new weapons immediately."

Ram immediately ordered the Ministry of War to begin developing new weapons. He intended to use the most advanced weapons to attack the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Yan Kingdom, as he had long considered these two countries as his own.

During this period, Ram felt refreshed, their black wine sold continuously, a large amount of money flowed into the national treasury, and new weapons were under development.

Yang Xia and Su Qi both realized that such orders could not completely solve the problem; the black wine would still be used by the Xingyun Kingdom to flow into the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Yan Kingdom.

Su Qi also repeatedly warned that if things continued this way, their two countries would be doomed and would eventually become targets of attack by the Nebula Kingdom.

As the Nebula Kingdom grows stronger, it will naturally try to develop new weapons to inflict devastating damage on them, which is a very frightening situation.

Yang Xia realized the problem was getting increasingly serious, and he certainly couldn't just sit idly by. He decided to exchange some divine medicine from the system to solve the problem of the poisoned wine. ...

After entering the system store and searching for a while, he actually found such a miraculous medicine that could cure all poisons, no matter what kind of poison it was.

"Great! This is exactly the kind of miracle drug I've been looking for. Now my addiction problem can be solved."

Yang Xia was particularly excited. As long as this problem was solved first, he could free up his hands to deal with the Nebula Kingdom.

But when Yang Xia looked at the points required to redeem the item, he gasped in shock; it actually required tens of thousands of points.

"I can't worry about that now. I can earn the points later. This matter is urgent, so I have no choice but to redeem it despite the pain."

Yang Xia had mixed feelings. The points he had painstakingly accumulated over this period of time had been lost again, but this matter was urgent, so he immediately pressed the redemption button.

Having finally obtained the miraculous medicine, Yang Xia prepared to have General Meng Yu distribute it to those people to cure their addiction.

People are aware that this kind of alcohol is addictive and can lead to financial ruin over time, and they are likely afraid of these serious consequences.

Once you've taken this miraculous medicine, you'll never be able to buy black wine again.

"General Meng Yu, this miraculous medicine can cure their drug addiction. Distribute it immediately."

Yang Xia excitedly handed the miraculous medicine to General Meng Yu, but General Meng Yu immediately frowned.

He never doubted Yang Xia's abilities, knowing that this miraculous medicine must be incredibly powerful, but the quantity was far too small.

Now, almost no one in the Great Zhou Dynasty has escaped this addiction; they have all become addicted to it. Not to mention the people of Yan Kingdom, whose demand will be even greater.

Even with such a miraculous medicine, the problem cannot be completely solved.

"Your Majesty, if I may be so bold, no matter how miraculous this medicine may be, the demand for it is too great, and it cannot solve the fundamental problem at all."

When General Meng Yu voiced his concerns, Yang Xia couldn't help but frown; he had almost overlooked this aspect of the situation.

This miracle drug is indeed powerful, but the current situation is quite serious, so it can be said to only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.

"Yes, what can we do? Is there really no way to solve this problem? It's really giving me a headache!" Yang Xia felt a little powerless for the first time.

Even the items redeemed from the system shop couldn't solve the problem, leaving Yang Xia utterly speechless.

"Your Majesty, why don't I go to the Nebula Kingdom to conduct a secret investigation? Only by finding out the raw materials of this black wine can we make the corresponding antidote, and then this problem can be solved."

Seeing Yang Xia's troubled expression, General Meng Yu volunteered to personally go to Xingyun Kingdom to investigate the raw materials of Wujiu and solve the problem at its root.

"General Meng Yu, thank you for your hard work. You must be careful this time and not let the other side discover our intentions."

Yang Xia was well aware that General Meng Yu's operation was fraught with danger, and couldn't help but give him some instructions.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I promise to go and return quickly, and I will definitely get the results of the investigation."

Seeing Yang Xia's worried expression, General Meng Yu quickly reassured him. After all, he was a general of the Great Zhou Dynasty and was quite confident in these matters.

After disguising himself, General Meng Yu secretly entered the Xingyun Kingdom to investigate the raw materials for Wujiu wine.

Meanwhile, Cahill escaped successfully on a small raft and also arrived in Nebula.

Although Cahill knew that the people of Nebula were extremely treacherous and greedy, and had previously signed unequal treaties, he was now desperate and had no choice but to seek refuge with the more powerful Nebula.

These people are all just using each other; they'll naturally collude and plot together when it matters most. However, this time, Cahill was cautious and didn't go directly to the high-ranking leaders of the Nebula Kingdom, but instead planned to stay there alone for a while.

If you can make a name for yourself, you won't have to rely on others, or you might be taken advantage of for nothing.

Once he made up his mind, Cahill disguised himself as an ordinary local fisherman, making a living by fishing every day. While fishing, he also looked for clues and any opportunity to make a comeback.

Cahill had a keen eye and indeed noticed some unusual phenomena.

He discovered that a local purple flower called celandine had suddenly become extremely expensive, having gone from being a worthless little plant.

Local fishermen find these situations strange, and some even try to harvest this white celandine to exchange for money.

Cahill was ambitious; he wasn't just looking for a few bucks, so he began investigating the relevant clues.

However, things weren't as easy as he thought, and it naturally took some effort to investigate.

Cahill settled down in Nebula and, with his extensive network of connections, quickly rose to become a local gang leader, known as Brother Knife.

Cahill, posing as a merchant from the Nebula Kingdom, began reselling Wujiu (Black Wine). He was well aware of its immense popularity, and witnessing the obsessive devotion that drove some to bankruptcy only fueled his belief. Cahill secretly traveled between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Yan Kingdom, engaging in the illicit trade of Wujiu and other unethical activities.

However, this also allowed them to amass considerable wealth and accumulate more power, waiting for their chance to rise again. Ambitious individuals like them will always be thinking about making a comeback.

Because of his frequent sourcing of the goods, Cahill eventually learned that the white celandine flower was the raw material for black wine.

“No wonder that inconspicuous wildflower suddenly became so expensive. I see.” Cahill nodded thoughtfully, finally understanding why the price of white clover had suddenly skyrocketed, and also knowing the raw material for black wine.

"The people of Xingyun Kingdom are truly formidable. With such methods, they've managed to create turmoil in both the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Yan Kingdom." "This is going to be a real headache for that Yang Xia. Once people become addicted to this kind of black wine, it can bankrupt them. Xingyun Kingdom is making a fortune, and the Great Zhou Dynasty is probably doomed soon." Cahill was extremely pleased with himself, thinking that perhaps he wouldn't even need to lift a finger before the Great Zhou Dynasty was destroyed.

With this idea in mind, Cahill became even more enthusiastic about reselling Wujiu, not only for profit but also hoping to find ways to quickly undermine the internal stability of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Yan Kingdom. Once the people of these two countries were deeply involved, they would be unable to develop their own national strength, and at that time they would naturally be at the mercy of others. Cahill was waiting for such an opportunity to arrive.

By continuously strengthening its own power, it may one day be able to destroy a sickly Great Zhou Dynasty without relying on any other forces or accepting unfair treatment.

Cahill was full of energy, frantically reselling black wine, eagerly anticipating this day.

After disguising himself, General Meng Yu arrived on the territory of the Nebula Kingdom. However, he was spotted by the cunning Cahill as soon as he arrived. Cahill had completely transformed into a fisherman, a stark contrast to his previous appearance. Even standing right in front of General Meng Yu, the latter dared not easily recognize him.

Cahill hoped to keep his identity completely hidden until he was fully capable of gaining power.

Upon seeing General Meng Yu arrive in Xingyun Kingdom, Cahill immediately understood his purpose: to investigate the raw materials of Wujiu (Black Wine). The Great Zhou Dynasty was already in turmoil and wanted to help Yan Kingdom resolve its crisis; therefore, they would try to find out the ingredients of Wujiu. Only by solving the problem at its source could the current situation between the Great Zhou Dynasty and Yan Kingdom be fundamentally changed.

The cunning Cahill decided to deliberately approach General Meng Yu and mislead him, ensuring they could never uncover the true ingredients of the Black Wine. This way, he could continue to use the Black Wine to frame the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Having made up his mind, Cahill began to approach General Meng Yu intentionally or unintentionally.

"Hello, I'm a local fisherman who also runs a small business. You must be from out of town?" Cahill struck up a conversation with General Meng Yu, who didn't recognize him because he was disguised.

“Yes, I’m passing through Nebula Kingdom, and it’s a pleasure to meet you.” General Meng Yu had no idea that the cunning Cahill was already standing in front of him, and that he had ulterior motives.

“I’m always a warm and hospitable person, so please don’t hesitate to ask if you need any help.” Cahill was very proactive and enthusiastic, which left General Meng Yu with a fairly good impression of him.

"I've noticed that the black wine from the Nebula Kingdom is selling quite well. I wonder what ingredients it's made of that makes it so popular." General Meng Yu was trying to subtly inquire about the ingredients of the black wine, completely unaware that the person in front of him was Cahill.

"The raw material for Wujiu is actually crow feathers. This wine has a very high profit margin, but the cost is pitifully low." Cahill deliberately misled General Meng Yu, ensuring that the other party would never be able to find out the true ingredients of Wujiu. In this way, the problem of Wujiu would be impossible to solve, and the Great Zhou Dynasty might collapse at any time.

"A crow's feather? That's too strange." General Meng Yu was naturally somewhat skeptical after receiving this answer.

“Yes, I can assure you, that answer is correct, because I am also in the business of black wine,” Cahill quickly confirmed.

General Meng Yu nodded with some skepticism and decided to continue the investigation.

General Meng Yu was not one to be easily fooled. After receiving this answer, he began to question it. No matter how much the other party assured him, General Meng Yu had his own thoughts.

"How could it be a crow's feather? That's too far-fetched. It can't be like that." General Meng Yu thought to himself, but didn't show it on his face. He knew that some people had ulterior motives and would not give him a definite answer.

Having come to the Nebula Kingdom, we must bring back the accurate answer so that we can successfully resolve the current crisis facing the Great Zhou Dynasty.

General Meng Yu was indeed decisive in his actions. Not only was he a first-rate commander, but he also had his own unique approach to investigating this matter. He wouldn't be easily led by the nose; he had his own judgment and believed that the raw material was definitely not crow feathers.

The people of the entire Nebula Kingdom were hoping for the downfall of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so they naturally wouldn't easily reveal the ingredients of the Black Wine. It seems I still need to investigate the place where the Black Wine is made.

With this thought in mind, General Meng Yu decided to enter the Xingyun Kingdom's wine shop to investigate these matters, believing that he would surely gain something from it.

"Hello, I'm here looking for work. Could you let me make wine here?" After finding the wine shop, General Meng Yu pretended to be applying for a job and successfully entered the wine shop.

General Meng Yu pretended to work diligently and quickly gained the trust of those around him, and everything proceeded relatively smoothly.

Persistence pays off. General Meng Yu finally figured out that the raw material for Wujiu (Black Wine) was not crow feathers at all, but a type of white celandine flower. General Meng Yu then launched an investigation into this white celandine flower and eventually discovered that it was a species unique to the Xingyun Kingdom.

It grows in the Yao Forest beside the moat of the Nebula Kingdom; it cannot be found anywhere else, let alone in other countries.

General Meng Yu went to great lengths to find a white cypress plant and secretly returned to the Great Zhou Dynasty with it. His mission was now complete, and he had finally found the true ingredient for Wujiu (black wine).

"Your Majesty, the raw material for Wujiu has finally been identified: it's this white celandine flower, and it only grows in the Yaolin Forest beside the moat of Xingyun Kingdom. It's never been seen anywhere else." "According to the local people, this white celandine was previously just an inconspicuous weed, completely ignored by everyone." "Since the rise of Wujiu, the value of this white celandine has suddenly skyrocketed. Many people are vying to plant it, but it can only be successfully cultivated in the Yaolin Forest." General Meng Yu informed Yang Xia of these details in detail, providing him with an accurate answer.

"General Meng, you've worked hard. We've finally found the raw materials for Wujiu, which makes the problem much easier to solve." Yang Xia was particularly happy. They had been waiting for this answer. Once the problem was solved, the crisis of the Great Zhou Dynasty would also be resolved.

"Your Majesty," General Meng Yu said, expressing his bewilderment, "I've always had a question: why can this herb only be successfully cultivated in Yaolin? Others seem unable to grow it at all." He recalled how, back in Xingyun Kingdom, some had tried to profit from cultivating this wild herb, but all their efforts, except in Yaolin, ended in failure. (End of Chapter)
