Chapter 947
Too Kind
Just when it seemed they were about to dismantle Yan Kingdom from within, Yang Xia suddenly appeared at the crucial moment, disrupting all their original plans.
The Yan Kingdom once again implemented a salt and iron monopoly, and with Yang Xia's help, the Yan Kingdom's national strength will gradually increase.
Dealing with Yan Kingdom would be even more difficult. The more Ram thought about it, the angrier she became, and she had no way to vent her anger.
On the other side, Yang Xia patiently began to guide Kao Dong, instructing him to carry out a comprehensive transformation of Yan Guo.
“I suggest you transfer local power to your own hands and concentrate power in one person. That way, it will be less likely to cause problems.”
Yang Xia offered sincere advice, hoping that Kao Dong would take it seriously. This was not an order, but just a suggestion.
After all, Kao Dong is the ruler of the country, and although Yang Xia considers the various aspects of Yan Kingdom, he will not overstep his bounds.
"Thank you. I know what to do next to ensure that Yan Kingdom doesn't have any more messy problems in the future."
Kao Dong was extremely grateful to Yang Xia. This incident had indeed served as a wake-up call for Yan Guo, and he certainly dared not be negligent.
Following Yang Xia's advice, he transferred all local power to himself, making Kao Dong the sole ruler of the entire Yan Kingdom, wielding absolute authority.
With Yang Xia's assistance, the Yan Kingdom's development became increasingly rapid.
With Yang Xia's help, Kao Dong has become more and more mature and composed, and he has become more and more sophisticated in handling state affairs.
After completely stripping Jia Feier of his power, all of his cronies were also eliminated, and these people no longer posed any threat to Yan Kingdom.
Kao Dong was a kind-hearted man. He did not kill all of them, but stripped them of their power, ensuring they would never have a chance to rise again.
Ram was not giving up and kept looking for opportunities to deal with Yan Kingdom, but found that all his efforts were in vain, as Yan Kingdom had become indestructible.
As Kao Dong became more and more outstanding, Yan Guo grew stronger and stronger under his rule, leaving no opportunity for him to cause trouble.
Unless we launch a direct war against Yan, there is simply no other way to dismantle Yan.
However, the relationship between Yan Kingdom and Da Zhou Kingdom was becoming increasingly close, and Ram had no confidence that he could deal with two powerful countries at the same time.
He was extremely anxious, as his ambitious plan was simply impossible to implement.
During this time, Ram was extremely anxious. He was unwilling to stay in peace and quiet and wanted to continue to realize his ambitions.
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move forward and was ruthlessly blocked, making it impossible for him to move an inch.
Ram paced anxiously around the palace every day, unable to think of a better way to deal with the Yan Kingdom, and all his plans had to be put on hold for the time being.
Unfortunately, misfortune never comes singly; a severe epidemic broke out in the Nebula Kingdom at this time.
"General Ram, something terrible has happened! A very serious epidemic has broken out in the Nebula Kingdom and has already reached the palace."
Ram's subordinates hurriedly reported this crucial intelligence to him, and Ram was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
"What? Are you kidding me? How could there be another plague at this time? Is God going to destroy our Nebula Kingdom?"
Ram's mind was in complete chaos; he had no idea how to deal with the situation at hand.
He once thought he was the most shrewd person in the world, which is why he was so ambitious and wanted to swallow up the surrounding countries.
He never imagined that the Nebula Kingdom would become so chaotic, which was driving him almost crazy.
"General Ram, it is absolutely true, the situation has become extremely serious. Please come up with a good solution as soon as possible."
The subordinates quickly explained the situation in detail, hoping that Ram could find a way to help Nebula Kingdom overcome its difficulties.
Everyone knows how terrible an epidemic can be; such a disaster would be devastating.
Every day, human tragedies unfold, with mountains of corpses piled up, making it unimaginable for them.
Ram's head was buzzing, and he couldn't think of any good solutions for the time being.
"Quickly find the imperial physicians and tell them to develop an antidote no matter what."
In a great panic, Ram issued an order for the imperial physicians to quickly develop medicine to treat their epidemic.
"General Ram, the imperial physicians have yet to diagnose the illness, which is why a large number of people are dying every day."
His subordinates then revealed the serious situation: everyone in the Nebula Kingdom was in a state of panic, fearing that they would contract the disease and die at any moment.
Ram was completely dumbfounded. He hadn't expected the situation to be so serious. So far, they hadn't even been able to diagnose the illness, let alone develop a treatment.
"Burn all the clothes of those who died from the disease, try to prevent it from spreading to others, and do everything possible to block the source of the disease."
Ram forced himself to calm down. No matter how frustrated he was, he had to take charge of the situation, otherwise the Nebula Kingdom would be in complete chaos.
The men obeyed and went to burn the bodies of those who had died of illness and their clothes.
Unexpectedly, the number of people who died of illness in the Nebula Kingdom was countless, with corpses piled up like mountains. Even the scene of burning these clothes was particularly spectacular.
Especially at night, the burning of these clothes created towering flames, alerting neighboring countries to the unusual situation in Nebula Kingdom.
"Strange, why is the Nebula Kingdom engulfed in flames? Something special must have happened."
After Yang Xia discovered this situation by chance, he told General Meng Yu, who was beside him, about it.
"Yes, something strange must have happened. I'll send someone to find out immediately."
General Meng Yu also felt that things were not simple, so he immediately sent his men to find out what had happened in Xingyun Kingdom.
The person who went to gather information quickly returned, bringing back news of an epidemic that had broken out in the Nebula Kingdom.
"Your Majesty, I never expected that the Nebula Kingdom would suffer such a severe epidemic. It is truly a blessing from heaven to punish the Nebula Kingdom like this."
General Meng Yu was overjoyed upon hearing the news and excitedly told Yang Xia.
"I never expected something like this to happen in the Nebula Kingdom. It's really quite strange."
Yang Xia was also very surprised. He didn't expect that a serious epidemic would occur in Xingyun Kingdom. As a result, Ram was in complete chaos.
During this period, there was no way to focus on dealing with other countries, which, strictly speaking, was indeed a very good retribution for the Nebula Kingdom.
"Your Majesty, the Nebula Kingdom is now in complete chaos. Perhaps we can take advantage of their misfortune and let them experience the taste of being attacked."
"The Nebula Kingdom has always been ambitious, wanting to annex the surrounding countries, so this opportunity is very rare for us." General Meng Yu felt that there was no need to be polite to such a treacherous country. Since God had given them such a rare opportunity, they should take revenge.
But Yang Xia shook his head; he didn't intend to do that.
Perhaps we can take this opportunity to teach the Nebula Kingdom a lesson, make them completely obedient, and prevent them from ever thinking of starting a war again. This is the safest solution.
Anyway, he was about to go to another world to complete a new mission. If these countries could coexist peacefully, Yang Xia felt that he could leave with more peace of mind.
"Perhaps I should look for some ways to help them." Yang Xia's words completely baffled General Meng Yu.
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? The Nebula Kingdom is ambitious and always wants to devour the Great Zhou Kingdom and the Huaxia Kingdom. How can you help them?"
General Meng Yu thought he had misheard—Yang Xia was actually helping his enemy.
He certainly didn't doubt Yang Xia's abilities; Yang Xia definitely had a way to cure the plague in Xingyun Kingdom. But this approach was just too unbelievable.
If it were Ram, he would definitely have taken advantage of the situation to annex other countries. But Yang Xia did the exact opposite, which even General Meng Yu couldn't understand.
"Starting wars is not our intention; maintaining world peace is the most important thing."
Yang Xia uttered such profound words, which shows how broad his vision is, something that ordinary people cannot compare to.
General Meng Yu nodded thoughtfully, knowing that Yang Xia's decision would not be easily changed, so he said nothing more.
Next, Yang Xia decided to re-enter the system store to search for medicine to treat the epidemic.
The system shop had everything one could want, and Yang Xia found a wound medicine without much effort.
He carefully read the instructions for the wound medicine—it could cure all diseases, and naturally it could also treat epidemics.
"Great, this is exactly the kind of treasure I've been looking for. Now the plague in Nebula Kingdom can be brought under control."
Yang Xia was overjoyed to have found this wound medicine, as he could finally proceed with his plan.
Although the exchange rate was still quite high, he didn't hesitate to exchange the points he earned from the live stream—this next plan is very meaningful.
Before heading to another world, it is of utmost importance to resolve the relationships between these countries.
After successfully exchanging the medicine, Yang Xia took the medicine to Kao Dong and told him about the Xingyun Kingdom.
Kao Dong had also heard about the severe epidemic in Xingyun Kingdom. His thoughts were similar to those of General Meng Yu, and he was even somewhat gloating.
"I have found a medicine that can cure the plague. I hope you will take this medicine to the Nebula Kingdom and negotiate with them."
Yang Xia's revelation of his idea startled Kao Dong—neither of them had expected Yang Xia to have such a plan.
"There's nothing to talk about with them. Since God has allowed the Nebula Kingdom to suffer from a severe epidemic, that's fate. We're already being quite righteous by not kicking them when they're down."
"Whenever I think of what Nebula Kingdom did to China, I grit my teeth with hatred and wish I could send troops to attack them."
Kao Dong didn't hide his thoughts—he was naturally open and honest with Yang Xia. He also couldn't understand Yang Xia's actions.
"I understand how you feel. The actions of the Nebula Kingdom are indeed excessive, but waging war cannot solve the fundamental problem."
"We still need to find ways to keep all countries at peace and move forward steadily together, which would benefit all countries."
Yang Xia patiently explained his thoughts to Kao Dong. He believed that a ruler must possess such a broad vision to lead the country forward.
After listening to Yang Xia's patient explanation, Kao Dong nodded thoughtfully.
He knew he needed to change in some ways. He genuinely admired people like Yang Xia and wanted to be as excellent as him.
“You’re right. It’s worth it to exchange these things for the safety of China. After all, once war breaks out, it’s the ordinary people who will suffer.”
Kao Dong finally understood these principles and felt that this method was feasible, so he decided to go to Nebula Kingdom to exchange with Ram.
However, they all knew that Ram was a vicious and ruthless guy, so the process probably wouldn't be so smooth.
“Tell Ram that he can get enough medicine every month, on the condition that he gives up the idea of fighting other countries.”
“If he breaks this promise, we will make it public to the world.”
Yang Xia knew that Ram was not someone to be trifled with, so he gave Kao Dong some careful instructions before he left.
“I understand. I will find a way to get Ram to agree to these conditions.”
"Although Ram is cunning and treacherous, the problems facing the Nebula Kingdom are indeed too serious. I believe he will compromise."
Kao Dong finally gained confidence, feeling that he would be able to successfully complete the mission assigned to him by Yang Xia during his trip to Xingyun Kingdom.
He held Yang Xia in the highest esteem—he knew that following Yang Xia's ideas would also make China stronger and stronger.
The crisis in China was perfectly resolved thanks to Yang Xia's help, so there's no need to doubt Yang Xia's ideas; we just need to carry them out diligently.
Kao Dong went to Nebula Kingdom without hesitation.
Ram was nearly going insane at this point. He struggled to control his emotions, wanting to resolve this serious problem facing the Nebula Kingdom as quickly as possible.
"Immediately order the mobilization of all doctors nationwide to work together to develop an antidote. We must spare no expense to develop it in the shortest possible time."
Ram issued a fierce order, gathering all the doctors in the country together and forcing them to develop an antidote in a short period of time.
"This epidemic is really too troublesome; the virus still hasn't been identified."
"Yes, we can't even figure out the illness, so where do we even begin to develop an antidote?"
……
The doctors whispered among themselves, deeply worried. The current situation was frightening to everyone, and occasionally some of them would fall ill.
This situation caused widespread panic among everyone in the Nebula Kingdom, including the doctors, and the pace of research and development was predictably slow.
"Has anyone here developed an antidote?" Ram kept checking on the situation, eager to get the antidote. But the doctors were all helpless and could only shake their heads in frustration.
"You're all a bunch of useless idiots! I really don't know how you doctors became doctors; with so many people involved, you still couldn't develop an antidote." (End of Chapter)
