Walk alone in the abyss

Count Mensa is a little confused now.

His grandson was still lying in the rescue cabin. Although he was fine, such serious injuries were real.

The envoys of the Luofeng Empire were on their way, but they suddenly announced half an hour ago that they would not go to the court ship floating in synchronous orbit outside the planet, but applied to enter the atmosphere, and came to the Mensa family mansion for negotiations and negotiations.

Is there anything else to negotiate?

The matter has become so clear, the princess Luofeng used a sharp weapon to severely injure the future successor of the Mensa family, wouldn't it be enough for the royal family of the Luofeng Empire to admit their mistakes, compensate and punish that barbaric and cruel princess?

What made Count Mensa even more confused was...

Mrs. Marge from the Foreign Affairs Bureau sent him a letter five minutes ago and asked him, leading the Mensa family, to sincerely apologize to the royal family of the Luofeng Empire.

What's the point?

Is this still the Sherman Empire?

The Luofeng Empire is just a subsidiary empire, and its sovereignty is not complete. It is a dog of the Sherman Empire!

And as a hereditary aristocrat of the Sherman Empire, a veteran earl family, he wants to apologize to the royal family of the Luofeng Empire?

This is too absurd.

Count Mensah sat in the secret study of the manor, smoking a cigar-like mixture of refreshments, letting himself settle in the smoke.

When he was investigating this matter, although he was stopped by his own son, Earl Mensa probably knew what happened.

It is nothing more than the corrupt behavior that often occurs among nobles.

The fact that the victim, his grandson, liked mature and beautiful women was not a big deal to Count Mensah.

Wasn't it the same when he was young?

Men need time to mature, and it's normal to indulge a bit when you're young.

Now it is a fact that his grandson was seriously injured, they are victims.

But Mrs. Margot is a shrewd and capable nobleman, and she will definitely not aim at nothing.

Making Dana the adopted daughter of Earl Mensa was done by Madam Margot back then, and Madam Margot was not the deputy director at that time.

The Mensa family had one more princess from a dependent country, which enhanced the family's reputation; the Imperial Foreign Affairs Bureau arranged for a spy to enter the dependent country to strengthen control over the dependent country.

Both parties benefit from this matter.

Moreover, Earl Mensa understood the terrifying energy behind Madam Margot. Her husband was a powerful general in the imperial army, and her father was a retired minister who was still alive and had won the trust of His Majesty the Emperor.

The royal family of the Luofeng Empire, Earl Mensa doesn't have to care.

But this Madam Margot, he must treat it with caution.

What kind of pressure is Madam Margot under?

Jingle Bell--

The retro and eccentric military communicator rang.

Earl Mensa glanced at the bust on the communicator, quickly put out the 'cigar' in his hand, quickly adjusted his collar, and selected the on button.

A gray-haired old general in imperial uniform appeared in front of Earl Mensa.

This is a lieutenant general, Earl Mensa's immediate boss back then, and his title and family power are far above him.

"Earl Mensa," the lieutenant general asked with a frown, "is your grandson still in good health?"

"It's not a big problem anymore, it's just a general penetrating injury," Earl Mensa said immediately, "The young people had some conflicts after drinking, and I didn't expect to alarm you."

"How did you teach your grandson?"

The lieutenant general said coldly:

"A young man in the prime of his life was almost killed by a fifteen-year-old girl! Is this the Mensa family who established themselves with military exploits?"

"General," Earl Mensa said in a low voice, "I am the one who failed to teach well and shamed the empire."

"It's good to know," the lieutenant general said, "The envoys of the Luofeng Empire will arrive at you immediately. This matter cannot be made a big deal, do you understand? If your grandson can move, get out of bed and apologize to the royal family of the Luofeng Empire. This matter ends."

Apologize?

Earl Mensa frowned and said, "Why? It's obvious that my grandson was hit hard, and they should apologize!"

"Even if I don't understand what happened, it must be some ugly behavior to force a fifteen-year-old girl to resist!"

The lieutenant general looked aggressively:

"Do you know why I'm looking for you? It was a duke who personally called and asked me to contact you. Because I am your boss and the guide in the army, I was also implicated in this drudgery by you.

"Your Mensa family has provoked people who shouldn't be provoked. The new Luofeng Emperor Edwan is very good at interpersonal communication, and he maintains a good friendship with all the princes.

"The financial resources of the Luofeng imperial family are the key to their communication. Remember, go and apologize!"

The lieutenant general hung up the communication directly, leaving Earl Mensah to continue in a daze.

The Luofeng Royal Family has so much energy?

Jingle Bell!

Count Mensa saw a somewhat unfamiliar but familiar bust, and chose to answer suspiciously.

This is an old man with a slick face, wearing a dress and smiling and saying:

"Hello, Honorable Earl Mensa, it is not easy to get your contact information.

"How is your grandson?

"Oh, yes, I have to report myself first. I am the director of the Economic Development Department of the Dependent Countries of the Imperial Finance Ministry. We have met before, at several high-level banquets..."

The old man nagged for a long time, making Earl Mensa a little confused about the intention of his call.

"You want to be a lobbyist, let us let the princess of the Luofeng Empire go, right?"

"Yes, that's probably the case," the director said with a smile, "Do you know Luofeng Empire?"

"Understood," Earl Mensa lit his 'cigar' and continued, "They are relatively powerful among the dependent countries."

"The yearly silver they contribute is equivalent to the taxes that five average administrative stars contribute to the empire."

The director said seriously:

"I understand what happened to you... Your grandson tried to insult the former concubine of the Luofeng Empire. This is a scene that I can't even imagine.

"I saw a surveillance video, which is said to be from the emperor of the Luofeng Empire, who personally reported it to a prince.

"I must remind you that you don't care about this matter. It is true that the other party hurt your grandson, but I think, can you consider the overall situation, show an open-minded side, give up holding them accountable, and give the empire Royal apology?

"Think about it, if someone hurt your mother, would you be furious?"

Count Mensa: ...

What an analogy!

"Is that what the Treasury Department meant?"

"No, no, this is just my personal reminder," the director sighed, "If your grandson is fine, please consider this matter carefully."

"I see."

Count Mensah hung up the communication with a gesture.

He leaned back against the soft chair back.

The Earl, who spent half his life as a soldier and spent half his life in the Emperor Star Circle, has realized the seriousness of the situation at this moment.

Yes, this is the Emperor Luofeng Empire putting pressure on him.

The energy that the opponent can use far exceeds one's imagination.

And the director's analogy - the annual silver of the Luofeng Empire can compare the taxes of the five administrative stars, so that Earl Mensa has an intuitive understanding of the importance of the Luofeng Empire.

Then think of the previous direct conflict between Luofeng and the new federation, as well as the reduction and exemption measures made by the empire.

This dependent country is not so simple.

Do you want to calm down?

Count Mensah thought so, and his communicator rang again.

Jingle Bell--

Made!

There is no end! Which official was bribed by Luofeng Empire this time?

Count Mensah looked down, and the bust lifted his spirits.

Oh, it is the respected Director of the Foreign Affairs Bureau, the real powerful minister of the empire, a shrewd and capable honorary marquis who has won the trust of His Majesty.

Earl Mensa hastily selected the answer button.

Outside the door, the old butler of the Earl's Manor was rushing over.

A small transport ship capable of carrying a hundred people left the near-Earth spaceport and was heading towards Earl Mensa's manor, and sent an application for landing.

Their application is very outrageous, only one sentence:

'I am the Earl of the Luofeng Empire, and I am here to duel with you Earl Mensa! '

...

The transport ship wrapped in the energy shield rushed towards the surface of Earl Mensa at a steady and high speed.

They have already obtained the permission to enter the administrative star. This transport ship is also an imperial ship directly rented at a high price from the space port. The air defense system of this administrative star will not launch an offensive against them.

In the middle of the transport ship, sixty members of the royal guards lined up neatly, staring at the legendary captain who walked out from the fourth brigade of the fourth guard regiment of their guards.

Behind Yang Ming, the surveillance video was played repeatedly.

The men and women of the guards were out of anger.

Are the fellow guards who are used to protect Princess Dana and Her Royal Highness eating dry food?

This kind of thing is an insult to all their guards!

Yang Ming cleared his throat: "I admit, I was a little impulsive just now and told you to prepare your weapons, this is the Sherman Empire, we can't use weapons, put all your equipment on the sides, and only wear ordinary military uniforms! "

"Yes, sir!"

A group of people roared at the top of their voices, and quickly put down their laser rifles.

Those diplomats in Luofeng unconsciously stiffened their posture at this moment.

"very good!"

Yang Ming said in a steady voice:

"Next, we will go to the mansion of Earl Mensa. There are hundreds of permanent guards in their mansion, and there are also the earl's private army on the periphery.

"This is a duel, a duel about national honor! I will initiate this duel in my private capacity, and your first task later is to shout at me!

"The men of Mensa stand up to a duel...just call this!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Listen to me," Yang Ming said, "If they start besieging me, you will charge up for me, will you all fight?"

"Yes! Sir!"

"Whoever becomes a coward, I will deal with him personally when I go back! Rest in place!"

A group of officers and soldiers sat cross-legged in place neatly, their breathing becoming more and more powerful.

The colonel ran over with a few senior officers. They were all elderly, but at the moment they put down their laser pistols, took off their military uniform jackets, and sat at the front wearing vests, military trousers, and leather boots similar to everyone else. .

Yang Ming nodded to them, turned around and looked at the porthole ahead, Earl Mensa's mansion was already visible in the distance, and their manor guards were also gathering quickly.

A diplomat walked up quickly.

"My, my lord, is it necessary to be so stiff? Go directly to fight with the earl family of the Sherman Empire, this, this is really..."

"It's the most efficient solution."

Yang Ming smiled, gave the diplomat a look with deep meaning, and said slowly:

"This battle must not only be fought, but also be fought beautifully and with propriety, so as to show the prestige of the Luofeng Empire and not offend the nobles of the Sherman Empire.

"Don't be idle for a few of you later, first go to register a live broadcast account, register in the name of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Luofeng Empire, and register a few more platforms.

"As soon as I start to do it, I will start a live broadcast... Learn about the white ghosts that have been on fire for the past two days."

"My lord, are we really going to fight the Mensa family?"

"Did you hear what I said clearly?"

"Listen clearly."

Yang Ming waved his hand: "Do it, do it beautifully, go back and ask His Majesty Edwin to give you a promotion and raise your salary, if you fail, go back and let you change jobs and reduce your salary."

The diplomat cheered up: "I will follow you and charge forward!"

Yang Ming patted the diplomat's arm, turned around and continued to stare at the majestic manor below.

The transport ship got the echo from the other party, and followed the guidance of the watchtower on the ground, and fell towards the hillside outside the manor.

Half an hour later, the transport ship landed smoothly.

Mrs. Margot was sitting in the ship of the Foreign Affairs Bureau, looking at the projection screen in front of her. She felt very headache at first, but now she calculated the follow-up possibility of the development of the matter, and suddenly realized...

The way of dueling is actually very clever.

It can not only maintain honor, but also express the spirit of both sides not retreating for their respective positions. Even if they kill people, in the cultural atmosphere of the empire, both sides will be considered warriors.

The aristocracy will not be disgusted with Luofeng, and the common people will talk about it because of blood and violence.

The fact that Princess Dana was almost insulted will be overwhelmed as the duel ends.

Not only that, there is no possibility of Dana's real identity being revealed.

The count's grandson actually threatened her as Dana... Sure enough, Count Mensa did not take his repeated instructions seriously, and this family should restrain their arrogance.

Madam Margo's eyes flicked a bit viciously, but she quickly returned to normal and continued to stare at the projection screen.

From a bird's-eye view it's easy to see:

Most of the living people in Count Mensa's manor were dispatched together.

Earl Mensa did not show up. More than 20 middle-aged and young people in military uniforms, with more than a hundred tall and heavily armed guards, stood on the hillside.

Soon, Yang Ming's head appeared in their line of sight, followed by Yang Ming's tall, thin and strong body.

There are no weapons, no firearms, and no protective gear.

The leader of the Mensa family, a middle-aged officer saw this, handed the laser pistol, lightsaber, and protective shield to the people beside him, unbuttoned his collar, and greeted Yang Ming.

Behind Yang Ming appeared more than sixty unarmed Luofeng soldiers.

The members of the Mensa family immediately imitated the officer, handed the equipment to the people behind them, and went straight to meet them.

More than twenty officers and forty guards.

The Mensa family dispatched the same number of people as the Luofeng Empire.

Earl Mensa, who was watching all this in secret, gave an order in secret, and the guards with equipment retreated quickly, and all the weapons inside and outside the manor were removed to prevent "accidental injury".

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Luofeng Empire started the live broadcast.

Yang Ming started a simple and hasty exchange with the representatives of Earl Mensa's mansion:

"You have insulted the country Luofeng!"

"You have insulted the Mensa family!"

"I, the honorary earl of the Luofeng Empire, challenge your Mensa family to a duel!"

"I took over your duel for my brother, right here, let's solve this problem in a manly way!"

"I mean," Yang Ming raised his head slightly, "I want to challenge your family! Men from the Mensa family stand up for me!"

A group of Luofeng soldiers in the rear shouted: "The men of Mensa stand up and fight!"

The middle-aged officer was full of anger, he clenched his forty-year-old fists, and punched Yang Ming on the head.

Yang Ming raised his arms to resist the opponent's attack, staggered half a step back, and then threw out with a whip leg, the force was so lightly controlled that the opponent leaned back to dodge.

But before Yang Ming could stand still, he immediately rushed forward, grabbed the officer's belt and pulled it back violently, throwing the opponent heavily to the ground, riding on the opponent's body was like a set of eight military punches.

Several young men from the Mensa family rushed up from the periphery.

Yang Ming punched the man under him unconscious, resisted the opponent's siege by himself, hugged a young man's waist and threw himself directly.

I don't know who yelled.

The guards of the Luofeng Empire charged forward, and the members of the Mensa family and the group of guards swooped down.

Inside the ship of the Foreign Affairs Bureau suspended in space, Madam Margo looked at the picture from the bird's-eye view with bright eyes, and a passionate hand-to-hand fight broke out on the hillside.

"This officer named Yang Ming is really nice."

Madam Margot took a sip of the soothing tea and let out a pleasant laugh.

Three or four galaxy hours later.

The Imperial Noble Court ship slowly sailed away from the outer periphery of Earl Mensa's fiefdom administrative star, and rushed to the next airspace where the contradictions of the nobles needed to be adjusted.

Luofeng's party, including Princess Dai Na's family visit team, and the envoys who came later, all gathered in the transport ship sent by Luofeng.

Princess Dana, Emilia, and the maids entered the back cabin of the transport ship in the small boat.

They didn't know what happened, and the equipment for external communication was confiscated before, but they were suddenly notified that the matter had been resolved, and they were acquitted, and then they rushed to the space port on this small boat.

Princess Dana was terrified all the way.

She was afraid that her boss would give up on her, and that a bomb had been planted on this small boat...

She has come to terms with this ending, but Emilia is still very young.

But nothing happened, and the journey back was so peaceful that Princess Diana thought it was a dream.

The boat sailed into the stern cabin, entered the gas isolation membrane, and the flying wing door slowly opened.

Princess Dana took a few deep breaths to suppress her cluttered thoughts, while Emilia's cheers could already be heard from the side.

"Bounty hunter! Why are you here!"

Major Yang Ming!

Princess Dana lowered her head and rushed to the flying wing door. When she raised her head, she saw two rows of figures standing in front of her.

"salute!"

A group of royal guards with bruised faces and swollen faces, all covered with bandages, uniformly performed imperial military salutes to Princess Dana.

Yang Ming was at the front, with his right arm raised and a faint smile on his lips.

"What's wrong with you?" Princess Dana asked softly.

"The Mensa family has received the punishment they deserve," Yang Ming said lightly, "You will be the princess of the empire for one day, and the guards will not allow you to suffer any humiliation."

Yang Ming looked at Emilia, who was a little worried, and blinked lightly.

"Well done this time. I'll teach you lightsaber swordsmanship when you get back."

Emilia smiled elegantly and sweetly.

"besides……"

Ships are also territory.

"Welcome home, Princess and Your Highness."

Princess Dana was startled for a moment, her eye circles were inexplicably red, but she immediately endured it and returned the favor by stroking her chest to Yang Ming.
