Chapter 941
Still Holding a Grievance
As a member of the Kingdom of Jaguar, no one wants to see their compatriots plunged into such misery.
"Your Majesty, Yang Xia claims that he can resolve the severe drought in the Kingdom of Zhuaqi within a single day. Should Your Majesty carefully consider this?"
His men told A-Zan about the situation again, and they sincerely hoped that Yang Xia could be brought in.
If it's really as simple as Yang Xia promised, the drought problem in the Kingdom of Zhuaqi will naturally be solved—that's what the people are most looking forward to right now.
"Open the city gates and let Yang Xia in to talk. I want to see what he's up to. What makes him so kind as to help our Clawqi Kingdom solve its drought problem?"
Aza was somewhat tempted; he now desperately hoped the drought could be resolved. If things continued like this, there would be no way out.
But A-Zheng believed that Yang Xia must have come with some purpose. Even if he really had the ability to solve the drought in a day, he would probably make many demands.
With this idea in mind, A-Zhao decided to call Yang Xia in and discuss the terms face-to-face. Of course, A-Zhao wouldn't agree if the other party went too far.
"King Aza, I never expected to meet you again. I heard that there was a severe drought in the Kingdom of Zhuaqi, and I was very concerned about it, so I came here specifically to help you solve the problem."
After meeting, Yang Xia sincerely talked with A Zha, hoping that he would no longer be misled by Cahill and Liu Zhixiu.
"Yang Xia, let's be frank. What are your motives for helping our Claw Qi Kingdom solve the drought? What are your conditions? Let's put everything on the table and discuss it."
A-Zhao's eyes were full of disdain, thinking that Yang Xia was a despicable and shameless villain.
When Princess Qingya was kidnapped last time, A'zhao only believed his daughter's explanation, so he still harbored resentment towards Yang Xia.
Upon meeting again, he immediately displayed this tense and hostile attitude, showing no trust in Yang Xia whatsoever.
"King Aza, if I successfully help the Kingdom of Zhuaqi overcome the drought, I have only one condition—that we can become friendly partners in the future. There are no other conditions."
Yang Xia understood the other party's intentions and bluntly stated that he only wanted to use this opportunity to make friends.
A-Zhao was surprised that Yang Xia would say such a thing, and his face was full of doubt.
After overhearing Yang Xia and A'Za's conversation, Cahill had a premonition that something was wrong.
He could clearly sense that Yang Xia wanted to win over the King of Aza, and naturally he couldn't let that happen. If Yang Xia succeeded, his plan would be completely ruined.
"Your Majesty, this Yang Xia is definitely up to no good. Don't be fooled by him."
"Has the King forgotten what happened to Princess Qingya? Such a person is absolutely untrustworthy."
Before King Aza could express his opinion, Cahill immediately stepped forward to stop him, determined not to allow Yang Xia to show goodwill to the Claw Qi Kingdom under any circumstances.
King Aza was already somewhat hesitant, unsure whether Yang Xia's words were credible, and after hearing Cahill's words, he dared not agree even more.
Yang Xia gritted his teeth in hatred upon seeing the cunning Cahill, knowing that this guy was plotting to provoke a war between the Clawed Qi Kingdom and the Great Zhou Kingdom.
He stayed here simply to use the Kingdom of Jagi as a weapon for revenge.
But Yang Xia knew that even if he was extremely angry, he couldn't show it at this moment, and he couldn't let the relationship get strained.
In this way, the purpose of this mission has been completely ruined, relations with the Jaguar Kingdom will never be eased, and these innocent people will continue to suffer for a long time.
After considering all this, Yang Xia decided to talk to Cahill privately and try to resolve the issue.
He forcibly suppressed his anger and gestured for Cahill to speak further.
Cahill swaggered after Yang Xia to a side hall.
"Speak your mind, but I'm warning you, it's impossible to stir up trouble in the Kingdom of Claw. I'm in charge now."
Cahill gave a smug smile, which could be seen as a warning to Yang Xia.
"I didn't expect you to be so confident. Did you think you could scare me with just a few words?" Yang Xia immediately revealed a disdainful smile.
"Cahill, if you try to incite the Claw Kingdom to fight against the Great Zhou Kingdom again, I will announce to the world that you are using the Claw Kingdom to take revenge."
"Even if King Aza is kept in the dark, I believe the eyes of the world are discerning, and everyone will know your wolfish ambitions."
Yang Xia calmly issued a stern warning to Cahill: if this guy insisted on ruining his plans, he would have no choice but to fight him to the bitter end.
King Ajahn was too foolish; he was completely manipulated by Cahill.
If he cannot change all of this himself, he can only proclaim it to the world and let everyone see Cahill's true colors.
I believe that Cahill's ambition will be exposed by then, and even if King Ajahn is foolish, he will be moved.
However, these are all matters for later. Right now, we should find a way to relieve the immediate crisis in the Kingdom of Jaguar and help more innocent people.
Although Cahill was incredibly arrogant and felt he had the king of Aza in his grasp, he was still somewhat afraid after hearing Yang Xia's words.
The cunning fellow finally fell silent, no longer daring to confront Yang Xia head-on.
Yang Xia observed Cahill's behavior and knew that the other party still had some reservations.
Cahill was naturally afraid. His current life of luxury was entirely due to the trust of the ruler of the Kingdom of Aza in the Kingdom of Zhuaqi, and he had long regarded the Kingdom of Zhuaqi as his escape route.
If Yang Xia really does this and announces his actions to the world, his current life of luxury will immediately disappear, and his revenge plan will be completely ruined.
"Well? You don't have much time left, so hurry up and give me an answer. I don't have the patience to wait any longer."
Knowing what the other person was thinking, Yang Xia continued to urge them on.
"Alright then, I agree to your mission. However, I hope you won't speak carelessly in front of King Aza, or don't blame me for being impolite."
Cahill gritted his teeth and agreed to Yang Xia's request, but didn't forget to offer a suggestion.
After all, he was feeling guilty and worried that Yang Xia might say too much in front of King A'za, and if King A'za discovered anything, he would be completely finished.
"Don't worry, I always keep my word. I'm here to relieve the suffering of the people of Claw Qi."
Yang Xia smirked, knowing that Cahill was afraid his plot would be exposed.
However, as long as he stops causing trouble and can handle this matter properly, other things will naturally unfold, and then it will be beyond his control.
From a long-term perspective, Yang Xia's idea is more brilliant.
Seeing that Cahill had finally compromised for the time being, Yang Xia turned and walked towards the main hall to continue talking to King Azha about the drought relief efforts.
"King Aza, please make a decision as soon as possible. After all, solving the problems of the common people is the most important thing."
Cahill followed closely behind, his attitude having changed drastically, indicating that he was willing to cooperate with Yang Xia.
“Your Majesty, I think we can cooperate with Yang Xia.” Cahill said this helplessly, which puzzled Azha. He didn’t know why Cahill’s attitude had suddenly changed.
However, after Cahill's statement, Azha was no longer so averse to Yang Xia.
“We can consider improving relations between our two countries, but you must first completely resolve the drought.”
King Aza finally backed down and did not continue to drive Yang Xia away, instead asking him to help manage the drought.
A-Zhao didn't believe Yang Xia possessed such miraculous abilities, so he told him to get the job done first, and they would deal with other matters later.
"Alright then, my main purpose in coming here is to help the people of Jaqi Kingdom manage the drought. Everything else is negotiable."
Yang Xia waved his hand magnanimously, indicating that he didn't care about anything else and only wanted to help the people here get rid of the disaster.
"It's getting late, so please stay here. Let's see how powerful you are tomorrow."
King Aza finally greeted Yang Xia warmly, hoping he could really help control the drought, as the current situation left him completely helpless.
Yang Xia nodded in agreement and spent the night in the luxurious palace of the Kingdom of Zhuaqi.
General Meng Yu witnessed the whole process and was extremely displeased.
These people from the Kingdom of Claw have gone too far. They were clearly trying to make goodwill, but they acted like this.
However, seeing that Yang Xia didn't take it to heart, General Meng Yu felt embarrassed to say anything more.
Since they had already arrived in the Kingdom of Zhuaqi, they still had to follow Yang Xia's arrangements and help manage the drought.
The two stayed there for one night, and the next morning, A-Zhao had breakfast delivered to them and then eagerly urged Yang Xia to start their operation.
The people of the Kingdom of Jaguar heard about this and found it incredibly unbelievable.
"I heard that Yang Xia from the Great Zhou Kingdom came to our Zhuaqi Kingdom to help with the drought. Is he really that capable?"
"I don't think so. He's not the Dragon King, he can't just make it rain whenever he wants. Maybe he's just trying to attract attention."
……
The people were talking about it, and they couldn't believe that Yang Xia was so capable that he could completely cure the severe drought.
A-Za had the same idea, but he was just trying his luck to see just how capable Yang Xia really was.
Once Yang Xia boasts, A'Za will certainly give him a good humiliation.
After having breakfast, Yang Xia and General Meng Yu went to the main hall to prepare for the drought relief efforts. The process was quite simple; all they had to do was turn on the weather controller.
"Yang Xia, can your operation begin now?"
A-Za looked at Yang Xia indifferently, not believing that he really had such abilities.
"Of course we can begin."
Yang Xia knew that these people did not believe in his abilities, so he didn't say anything more and simply turned on the weather controller.
Adjustments were made according to the local temperature, and soon thunder roared and torrential rain poured down from the sky in the Kingdom of Jaguar.
"This is amazing! Yang Xia really has such abilities. Our drought has finally been controlled."
People took to the streets, letting the rain soak them; their joy was beyond the comprehension of others.
These days, they've been dreaming of rain, but unfortunately, not a single drop has fallen. The scorching sun is baking the earth, subjecting them to a terrible drought.
Unexpectedly, Yang Xia solved this major problem for them in the blink of an eye, and people were naturally overjoyed, celebrating this delightful situation in the rain.
Yang Xia's actions shocked the entire Zhuaqi Kingdom. King Azha excitedly grasped Yang Xia's hand, repeatedly expressing his gratitude.
“On behalf of all the people of the Kingdom of Zhuaqi, I thank you. You relieved this severe drought. Otherwise, the people of Zhuaqi would have suffered greatly.”
"I never expected you to have such superb skills. You are truly a master."
A-Za didn't know what to say; he was truly shocked by Yang Xia's actions.
Fortunately, I made this important decision to let Yang Xia help manage the drought; otherwise, the drought in Zhuaqi Kingdom would have been completely unmanageable, and the consequences would have been quite serious.
He finally realized that Yang Xia was not someone who did crooked things, but someone with truly powerful abilities.
"It's nothing. I hope that King Azha will remember our previous agreement. The Great Zhou Kingdom welcomes the Claw Qi Kingdom to conduct trade cooperation with us at any time."
Seeing how excited A'Za was, Yang Xia took the opportunity to bring up the friendly relations between the two countries again.
His most important purpose in coming to the Kingdom of Zhuaqi was for this very reason. If the two countries could establish friendly relations, it would be very beneficial to the development of the Great Zhou Kingdom and would also effectively thwart the schemes of those villains behind the scenes.
Yang Xia believed that his sincere approach would surely move the other party.
After hearing Yang Xia's words, A'Za smiled and nodded.
He discovered that Yang Xia was indeed a very good person, and that he possessed such extraordinary abilities. The Great Zhou Kingdom was powerful, so if the Claw Qi Kingdom were to engage in trade cooperation with the Great Zhou Kingdom, it would naturally not suffer any losses.
Seeing Azhar's satisfied expression, Cahill became somewhat anxious. If the two sides finalized the matter on the spot, he would be in a passive position.
A'Za is naturally extremely grateful that Yang Xia has helped the Claw Qi Kingdom with such an important matter.
Once the two countries become friends, Cahill and Yoo Ji-soo's dreams will be shattered.
"Your Majesty, you must not make a hasty decision. You cannot trust Yang Xia's character just because of what he did this time."
"If Princess Qingya knew that Your Majesty was cooperating with someone like Yang Xia, she would be very upset. I urge Your Majesty to reconsider."
Cahill started causing trouble again, even bringing up Princess Qingya once more to obstruct Azha's agreement to engage in trade cooperation with Yang Xia.
"Yang Xia is a very good person, we should give him a chance."
A-Zhao felt that his judgment was correct, and he was already somewhat tempted to start a trade partnership with the Great Zhou Kingdom.
In the long run, cooperating with the Great Zhou Kingdom is still very beneficial.
Although Aza was somewhat dull-witted, he wasn't so stupid as to be ungrateful; he still possessed a certain level of judgment.
"Your Majesty, you must not agree to this, or you will regret it."
Cahill was extremely anxious upon seeing Azhar's behavior and desperately tried to stop him. (End of Chapter)
