Chapter 936
Lively Celebration
Seeing Tonggao's repulsive attitude, Kaodong had no choice but to ask further, knowing he wouldn't get any answers anyway.
But from this he could conclude that Xu Yunna was definitely not doing anything good, so he became more cautious and began to pay attention to the movements of the two people.
Meanwhile, the news of Peony's pregnancy quickly reached the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who were naturally overjoyed.
"That's wonderful! Our Imperial Consort is pregnant, which means that our Great Zhou Dynasty will become more and more prosperous."
"With Your Majesty's wisdom, our Great Zhou Dynasty will continue to prosper for generations to come."
The people spread the news and were extremely excited.
Given Yang Xia's wisdom, they believed that the Great Zhou Dynasty would prosper forever, and naturally had a special feeling about the arrival of this new life.
"We should hold some celebrations to welcome the arrival of this little life, and also to welcome the new hope of our Great Zhou Dynasty."
"That's right, we should definitely hold some celebrations and have a good time. Our Great Zhou Dynasty is getting better and better."
The people readily agreed, and they spontaneously held some lively celebrations, bringing jubilation throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty.
This joyous occasion naturally attracted everyone's attention.
Soon, the people of Nebula Kingdom and Claw Kingdom also learned about this, and they were naturally very unhappy.
"Damn Yang Xia, he's actually going to have a son. We can't let him be so smug for too long, or the Great Zhou Kingdom will be even harder to deal with in the future."
When Cahill and Yoo Ji-soo received this news, they were filled with rage.
They had been hoping for the demise of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but they discovered that Yang Xia was too formidable and would use various means to counter their attacks.
Now that the Great Zhou is doing better and better, it will soon have its own offspring, which is something that they absolutely cannot allow.
"Looks like I should go and give Yang Xia a big gift, and join in the fun."
Upon hearing this news, Ram actually uttered such words, a ferocious smile appearing on his face.
He certainly wouldn't actually go and give gifts to Yang Xia and Shaoyao; he was just trying to annoy them.
Seeing Yang Xia becoming increasingly successful, they saw him as a thorn in their side and wished they could kill Shaoyao and Yang Xia with their own hands.
However, due to the growing strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty, they dared not openly engage in a direct confrontation.
At this point, they planned to use some despicable and shameless means to attack the two of them.
As for what to do next, Ram had already come up with a bad idea.
After discussing it, Cahill and Yoo Ji-soo decided to hold back for the time being and then act according to the circumstances.
They also knew that Ram was definitely itching to make a move against Yang Xia, so they could just sit back and reap the benefits.
"Your Majesty, Ram from the Nebula Kingdom wishes to enter the palace to present gifts and has already sent an invitation."
General Meng Yu quickly informed Yang Xia of the news and asked for instructions on how to proceed.
They all knew that the people of Xingyun Kingdom were ambitious and had long wanted to destroy the Great Zhou Dynasty, but they had not been able to do so because of Yang Xia's prowess.
The other party certainly didn't have good intentions this time. Even General Meng Yu had thought of this, not to mention Yang Xia.
"Don't let Ramu into the palace. He's like a weasel paying respects to a chicken; he's up to no good and might be deliberately trying to cause trouble."
Yang Xia made a decisive decision, instructing General Meng Yu to stop Ram from getting close to him no matter what.
"Your Majesty, I understand." After receiving the order, General Meng Yu quickly stood guard outside the city gate. Naturally, he would not let Ram in after he arrived.
As expected, Ram arrived at the city gate of the Great Zhou Dynasty with a special gift.
"Halt! His Majesty has ordered that you are not allowed to enter the palace of the Great Zhou Kingdom." General Meng Yu stopped Ram without any politeness.
"Are you kidding me? I'm here to deliver a congratulatory gift. Is this how you treat your guests?"
Ram was very unhappy that he was stopped, so he started shouting.
His shouting quickly attracted the attention of many people, who then surrounded him.
People didn't know what had happened; they just gathered around out of curiosity.
Seeing so many people gathered, Ram became even more excited. He wanted to make things as big as possible, so that the Great Zhou Dynasty couldn't withstand the pressure, and then he could enter the Great Zhou Kingdom's palace as planned, and then cause trouble for Yang Xia.
"This is the King's order, and no one may disobey it. If he says we cannot enter, then we cannot enter!"
"Our Great Zhou Kingdom does not welcome people from the Nebula Kingdom to bring congratulatory gifts. You'd better leave now!"
General Meng Yu loudly asserted his sovereignty and was not intimidated by such people.
The onlookers finally understood the whole story. They also knew that Xingyun Kingdom was ambitious and had been trying to sow discord between the Great Zhou Dynasty and Yan Kingdom. Yang Xia had his own reasons for doing so.
The people felt there was nothing wrong with this approach, so they stopped watching and dispersed.
After struggling for a long time, Ram realized that no one paid any attention to them and there was no way they could enter the palace of the Great Zhou Kingdom.
Ram was naturally extremely unwilling, and he actually led a group of people to intercept the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty at the city gate.
Since Yang Xia didn't want him to have a good time, he would cause trouble and force Yang Xia to comply so that he could have a chance to enter the palace of the Great Zhou Kingdom.
Ultimately, I don't intend to leave empty-handed; I must achieve my goal.
"All of you, stop right there! If you want to enter the palace, leave your toll..."
Ramu acted like a bandit, blocking the road and causing widespread resentment among the people.
"How could the people of Nebula be like this? It's outrageous and has seriously disrupted our normal lives."
"Why isn't Your Majesty doing anything about this? Why are you letting these people cause trouble here? What should we do?"
The people of the Great Zhou Kingdom began to complain incessantly, and the scene was extremely chaotic. The news quickly reached Yang Xia's ears.
"That damn Ram is deliberately trying to cause chaos, so he'll hurry up and deliver his congratulatory gift, and then immediately go back to Nebula Kingdom."
"If he continues to act unreasonably, don't blame us for using force."
Yang Xia was particularly helpless and had no choice but to instruct General Meng Yu to let Ram in.
"Hehe, Yang Xia is indeed no match for me. No one can stop me from doing what I want to do."
Upon receiving this news, Ram smiled victoriously; he could finally sneak in and cause trouble.
Led by General Meng Yu, Ram strode confidently into the palace of the Great Zhou Kingdom. He was eager to present this special congratulatory gift to Yang Xia, certain that it would successfully annoy him.
Upon entering, Ram discovered that Yu Meiren was also sitting in the main hall, which made her even more smug.
Yu Meiren is now pregnant and cannot be frightened in the slightest, but Ram came here to cause trouble.
Once his gift is revealed, he believes it will definitely scare the pregnant woman, and it would be even better if it could frighten her into miscarrying. That would be the best revenge against Yang Xia.
Having made up her mind, Ram stood before the two of them with an enormous congratulatory gift.
It was a large box, about half the height of a person, which puzzled everyone around, who wondered what kind of gift Ram had sent.
Judging from its size, it must be enormous; it seems unlikely to be a rare and precious treasure.
People were speculating about what Ram's gift might be.
"Our Nebula Kingdom has always been generous, so we have come here to present Your Majesty and Queen with a special gift that we are sure you will love."
After saying this, Ram revealed a sly smile and casually opened the huge box next to him.
With a certain intuition, Yang Xia knew that the other party definitely had no good intentions, but it was too late to stop them.
He had already opened the large box, which was about half the height of a person, and inside was a person. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a soldier from the Great Zhou Kingdom.
"How could it be him!" General Meng Yu was immediately agitated upon seeing the person inside.
It turns out that this soldier was not an ordinary person, but a high-ranking general.
They originally thought he had died in a battle, but they never expected that he would be controlled by Ram and end up in this miserable state before them.
His arm had been brutally severed, and his entire body was so ravaged that his facial features were deformed, making him look nothing like a normal person.
It's easy to imagine that Ram deliberately tormented her into this state, and then brought her here to cause them trouble.
"what……"
Out of curiosity, Yu Meiren stared wide-eyed at the large gift in front of her. She never dreamed that this would be what she would see after opening it, and it successfully startled her.
"My beloved, do not be afraid, I am here."
Upon seeing this, Yang Xia quickly pulled Yu Meiren into his arms and gently comforted her.
Yu Meiren is currently pregnant and should be the least likely to be frightened, but such a scene is hard to guard against.
Yu Meiren trembled with fear and curled up in Yang Xia's arms, which made him feel extremely sorry for her.
After finally managing to calm Yu Meiren down a bit, Yang Xia glared angrily at Ram in front of him.
"What exactly do you want?" Yang Xia shouted angrily, his eyes blazing with boundless fury. Of course, Yang Xia especially hated the person who hurt Yu Meiren.
"Of course I want to return the prisoners of the Great Zhou to you. I'm being so generous and righteous, you should be thanking me, why are you blaming me? You're really ungrateful."
Ram grinned wickedly. He wanted to see this scene, to make Yang Xia extremely unhappy, to scare Yu Meiren half to death, and it would be even better if something unexpected happened.
Yang Xia stood up angrily and walked to the prisoner. Knowing that he had suffered inhuman torture, he felt particularly bad.
After all, he was a general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and seeing him in this state made Yang Xia feel particularly sorry for him.
Yang Xia personally handed the prisoner over to General Meng Yu, then patted him on the shoulder as a form of consolation.
This scene made General Meng Yu feel particularly distressed, and he ordered the prisoners to be taken away and taken good care of.
After doing all this, Yang Xia immediately dropped the pained expression on his face, and his eyes turned cold and sharp.
He turned around and walked menacingly toward Ram, a display that actually intimidated Ram.
As the ruler of a country, Yang Xia certainly had a certain degree of deterrent power.
After walking up to Ram, he punched him without hesitation.
At this moment, Yang Xia didn't care about his status at all. Even as the ruler of a country, he had to beat up Ram in front of everyone to vent his anger.
His actions were infuriating; I even felt like killing him. He treated a general of the Great Zhou Kingdom so cruelly and terrified Yu Meiren like that.
Ram was shocked that Yang Xia had actually beaten him up in front of everyone. He was ashamed, being the highest leader of the Nebula Kingdom. He immediately got into a fight with Yang Xia.
Yang Xia's guards, of course, did not allow Ram to fight back, and quickly stepped forward to subdue her.
"Your Great Zhou Kingdom is simply going too far! How could you treat me like this!" Ram struggled incessantly, showing great indignation.
"It's your Xingyun Kingdom that's going too far, coming here to bully others like this. Of course, our Great Zhou Kingdom is not one to be bullied."
Yang Xia did not back down and loudly condemned Ram's despicable behavior.
"If similar incidents occur again in the future, I wouldn't mind going to war with the Nebula Kingdom directly."
Yang Xia was completely enraged and began to threaten him with a cold face.
He was certainly not joking; the Great Zhou Kingdom truly possessed such strength.
If the two countries go to war, the Great Zhou Dynasty has a very high chance of winning.
Ram was taken aback when Yang Xia said such a thing.
He dared not confront the other party head-on. If he completely angered Yang Xia, and war really broke out, he could not guarantee that the Xingyun Kingdom would win. If the kingdom was destroyed, everything would be over.
"I've already delivered all my congratulatory gifts, and I have important official business to attend to back home, so I have to go." Ram was so startled by the success that she actually came up with such an excuse to leave.
Seeing Ram's appearance, Yang Xia knew that the other party was scared, so he signaled to the guards beside him to let him go.
Although Yang Xia was extremely angry and wished he could immediately start a war against the Xingyun Kingdom, war was not something that could be decided hastily, and he could not make any major decisions in a fit of rage.
As the ruler of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he naturally had to consider the overall situation.
"I can let you go this time, but remember what I just said. Don't blame me for being rude next time."
Yang Xia threatened again viciously, causing Ram to lose face completely.
Ram originally intended to annoy Yang Xia, but unexpectedly ended up in such a sorry state. He didn't dare to say anything more and had no choice but to slink back to the Nebula Kingdom.
When Cahill and Yoo Ji-soo saw Ram return, they quickly went to greet him and asked how it went.
They all knew that Ram was a very cunning person, possessing considerable skill. If the plan succeeded, it would deal a heavy blow to Yang Xia—they would be satisfied as long as they achieved this goal. (End of Chapter)
