Walk alone in the abyss

The meeting between Yang Ming and the prince was less than two galaxies away.

In the lord's mansion of Star Saka, there are a few more well-dressed old people, including Prince Jinofu who stayed here before, and they all showed up here within a few hours.

They either became lobbyists, or came on behalf of so-and-so.

Everyone lowered their stance and begged Yang Ming to stand up and settle the matter, to quell the public opinion turmoil.

They have hidden threats.

For example, cutting off the supply of resources to Star Saka and forcibly increasing the cost of living on Star Saka.

There are also explicit purchases - to give Yang Ming a large number of resources that he wants, to give Saka planet various preferential policies, to give Saka planet the most abundant resource equipment, and to merge other planet residents who have also suffered from insect plagues but have struggled to survive. Saka planet to rapidly increase the population of Yang Ming's territory.

Whether it's a threat or a favor, Yang Ming just nodded with a smile.

He neither opened his mouth nor agreed, and then went to sleep, wash, and change clothes normally, completely like a happy person who stayed out of it.

Ever since Prince Gehali left Emperor Star, more and more big bosses of the empire used projection technology to negotiate with Yang Ming.

But the two people Yang Ming wanted to see the most, and the two people he didn't want to see the most, didn't show up.

Of these two people, one is the emperor of the empire and the other is the director of Ino.

For these two, if they ask Yang Ming to calm the public opinion, Yang Ming has no reason to refuse, and there is no need to refuse.

This represents the imperial power of the empire, or the elites of the Sherman family who control the empire secretly, bowed their heads to him, a small earl.

Although in this way, Yang Ming would not get the actual benefits of being close at hand, but Yang Ming could greatly increase his political influence within the empire.

Yang Ming is also gambling.

He gambled that the old emperor was arrogant and disdainful of the common people in his bones, so he would not bow his head because of this little public opinion attack.

I am also betting on the elites of the Sherman family who control the empire, they are very proud in their hearts, and they are used to solving problems in their own way.

If a prince has a problem, then abandon the prince.

Even, Yang Ming speculated that the elite of the Sherman family, represented by Director Ino, had already calculated the consequences of all his reactions at this moment, and had prepared a disposal plan.

To be honest, Yang Ming felt somewhat apprehensive about this mysterious and powerful Sherman family.

He doesn't have a dreadnought now!

If you are angry, you will be angry, Yang Ming still has to stick to what should be done.

The storm of attack and the fire assistance from outside forces gave Yang Ming a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

What if there is no window period for the development of Luofeng and Dark Star?

Then he will chisel one out.

Yang Ming glanced at the time on his watch, and there was still one and a half hours before the prince would arrive here.

On the side, 026 set up the panorama live broadcast tool with his voice and fragrance, and the two maid robots also started to clean and organize the living room.

This live broadcast was suddenly announced by Yang Ming. The nobles, officials, and generals present were not too surprised. After all, the White Ghost started as a live broadcast.

What they are more interested in personally is how the white ghost can make the live broadcast here spread widely in the empire.

The biggest mystery of White Ghost actually lies in his almost omnipotent 'network ability'.

Law is fully prepared.

The new Federal CIA and the intelligence organizations of various countries have provided traffic interfaces for 'free'.

White Ghost's fan sites collapsed one after another, and were repaired one after another. The computing power and storage of the originally prepared server group were not enough, and Lu had to invade the official server of the empire, bearing the risk of being expelled at any time.

When it comes to reason, Yang Ming is also very curious.

She has never stood up to calm the storm.

If it is reasonable, on the basis of crushing computing power and resources, plus ten CIA agencies, there is no way to cause any waves in the imperial network world.

‘Rea can actually think independently? '

"The examiner's reasoning is gradually unblocking, the abnormal alternation of top power in the empire, the presbytery and the military have all happened..."

'Why are you helping me? Why is she helping me? Because of the existence of law? Or is it because I created Dark Star and she thinks I'm her own? '

One question mark after another appeared in Yang Ming's heart.

"Hendon," Daphne's voice sounded from the side.

Yang Ming looked up, and saw that Her Royal Highness had recovered to normal, and whispered to Yang Ming, "Can you come over and talk?"

"Is there any need to talk?"

Yang Ming responded with a smile.

Daphne bit her lip slightly, and showed her trump card again - cute and pitiful.

Yang Ming chose to ignore it.

Many eyes gathered from inside and outside the door, Daphne lowered her head and walked away, went to the corner seat and sat down, her mental state obviously slipped.

She has not rested for a long time.

Amidst the buzzing sound, Yang Ming turned on his watch and looked at it, and found that it was a text message from Catherine, asking him if there was any problem here, Yang Ming replied with a smiling emoji.

Although the current situation is not clear and Yang Ming is walking on eggshells, but in front of his girlfriend, he still has to be optimistic enough to prevent her from worrying.

Yang Ming found a small elimination game and started to pass this garbage time.

Half an hour later, Daphne came over again.

"Are you sure you don't want to talk?"

"Hmm," Yang Ming smiled, looked at the people around him, and said slowly, "Sometimes, we don't lack the motivation to resist, but lack the awareness to resist. We are completely controlled, and you will never be theirs." Only the existence of the same kind that cannot be controlled is qualified to be their partner."

Daphne frowned slightly.

Yang Ming has lowered his head and focused on the game interface.

Daphne returned to her seat, and Captain Gries strolled over stretching and yawning, looking down at Yang Ming playing the game for a while.

"You also have areas that you're not good at," Gries casually picked on the words, "May I ask, you're broadcasting live and creating momentum, how do you plan to end it later?"

"Look at the performance of His Royal Highness."

Yang Ming said leisurely: "How do you think Gresley will end today?"

"This, I can't figure it out. You have too many mysteries. It is a miracle that the empire has tolerated you until now and has not pulled you over to solve it."

Yang Ming simply explained: "There is a big factor, the real elite of the empire dare not offend the people above me."

"Above you? Who is it?"

"High-dimensional civilization," Yang Ming glanced at Gris, "Do you think that humans can complete the fusion of ancient god genes and human primitive genes at this stage? It's all an experimental project."

"experimental project……"

Gris couldn't help raising his hand to his forehead.

Yang Ming smiled and said, "This is my confidence."

"Okay," Gris coughed, "No matter what, if you want to do something later, don't do it. After all, he is still the second heir."

"Am I such a rude person? This is not a bug," Yang Ming said indifferently, "I still have to think about the people of Saka, don't worry about it, I know it well."

"Understood."

Gris heaved a sigh of relief, walked away with his hands behind his back, and began to send messages to his boss and the dozen or so elites in Skyfury Fortress.

What is a highlight moment?

He, Gris, is now the first-hand source of information for the whole family in Skyfury Fortress. The goddess of iceberg who usually ignores him, now actively joins him in the group chat.

This is his highlight moment.

The time is pushed forward, the formation enters the port, and the prince is about to reach the surface in half an hour.

Yang Ming played the little game more and more vigorously.

The countdown to the live broadcast of White Ghost has entered the whole network. Hundreds of thousands of split live broadcast rooms are ready, and the live broadcast will start five minutes before the meeting.

...

Daphne quietly watched Yang Ming's side face.

She didn't really understand.

Why, such a person suddenly appeared, who despised the nobles of the empire, ignored the rules of the empire, and used all kinds of unimaginable means to break the barriers between classes, but he was still safe and sound.

Is it because of his individual absolute force?

Or because of other factors?

The hierarchy of the empire has always been strict, and Daphne has experienced this strictness. Since she was just sensible, her mother has taken a lot of illegal drugs every day because of her own depression, in order to escape and enjoy pleasure.

Daphne didn't understand at first, her mother's position in the palace.

Later, she learned what a great nobleman's dedication to the royal family is, and why after her mother died of organ failure due to overdose, the grandfather's family spent a huge amount of property and operated in various ways to keep her in the palace. She must grow up in the palace.

The imperial power is like a black hole, the nobles are the star system attracted by the black hole's gravity, the common people and slaves are just the accretion disk around the black hole, waiting to be swallowed by the black hole.

When she is in the palace, her mother's family can maintain its influence, and through this influence, it can earn more power and benefits.

'You can never be like them. '

Yang Ming's voice seemed to have some kind of hypnotic power, Daphne yawned sleepily, leaned back in the chair and closed her eyes for a nap.

She seemed to be in a dream.

In the dream, she returned to the night when she was nine years old. She stood in front of her mother's ashes, watched her mother's virtual projection, listened to the people around her talking about her mother's death, and then got a new mother.

She was lucky, she met a fairly good concubine who taught her with all her heart;

She is also unfortunate, because all the hypocrisy is an act to win her father's favor, and she becomes the new mother's court political capital.

she……

"Your Highness, Your Highness?"

Daphne opened her eyes as if electrocuted.

The maid at the side whispered: "Prince Gehali has already arrived outside the Lord's Mansion."

Daphne immediately stood up, covered her chest subconsciously, and looked down at the elegant dress she had prepared earlier.

Her expression changed from being dazed for a moment to her usual calmness, and then quickly changed to tired and sad. With her hands on her belly, she led the maid towards the sun-drenched door.

Yang Ming was standing at the door with his hands behind his back, and there were more than a dozen photography levitating balls inside and outside the door.

Many nobles were waiting in the courtyard, and Daphne also walked past Yang Ming, went to a rather conspicuous corner, and stared outside the door.

Two teams of guards wearing gorgeous dresses entered the already crowded courtyard, forming two human walls and standing face to face.

There was music outside the door, and the two luxury suspension cars brought by the prince slowly stopped.

Lieutenant General Thomas got out of the car first, and walked straight towards Yang Ming, walking in a hurry and obviously full of words.

The prince was not in a hurry to get out of the car, but quietly waited for the climax of the music, and the guard who was responsible for opening the door was also calculating the "perfect timing" His Highness said.

"Hendon!"

Just as Lieutenant General Thomas was about to speak, Yang Ming gave a standard military salute, which forced Lieutenant General Thomas to return the salute first.

"Lieutenant General," Yang Ming said softly, "I'm currently live broadcasting, and the live streaming has now spread all over the empire."

"Well, I know," Lieutenant General Thomas whispered, "Your Majesty the Great Emperor, ordered His Royal Highness Prince Gehali to come to Saka to carry out appeasement work. Unfortunately, your territory has encountered such a vicious gas attack. Incident, the Imperial Army expresses its deepest condolences for the suffering of the victims.”

Yang Ming sighed and said in a low voice:

"I have retaliated against the CIA of the new federation, and they still don't admit that the terrorist attack was their order.

"But it doesn't matter, I will check it out, show the hard evidence, and then go to repay them ten times or a hundred times.

"My territory does not allow any evil forces to invade. It has suffered from insect plagues and experienced a century-long decline. The population has only been reduced to tens of millions. This is the most inconspicuous corner of the empire. They should have enjoyed peace and shelter. "

"Yes," Lieutenant General Thomas said seriously, "We will definitely provide all-round protection for this place."

"But, Lieutenant General Thomas!"

Yang Ming's eyes became sharper:

"I'm not afraid of external forces. The powerful army of the empire is the best reliance for the people, but I can't guard against the filth and sneakiness in the territory!

"During the concert, the comprehensive supply ship that Her Highness Daphne was on opened fire with full firepower, and carried out precise strikes on thousands of imperial people, including Her Highness Daphne! If I hadn't been on guard, I would have parked my battleship There, the consequences are unimaginable!

"The damage caused by gas bombs is far inferior to this bombardment! If there are further riots and stampedes at the scene, an even bigger disaster will be brewed!"

Lieutenant General Thomas pondered a few times: "Hendon, we will definitely investigate this matter to the end!"

"I'm already close to the truth of the matter," Yang Ming said in a low voice. "I didn't harm those officers. I just collected and organized their memory data by means of general simulated surgery and simulated case handling methods."

Thomas finally said immediately: "A viscount and two honorary earls have committed suicide in fear of crime, and the clues to this matter have been cut off."

Yang Ming asked back: "Why did they kill Her Highness Daphne? What was their motive? What was their purpose for disrupting the concert? They made such a huge sacrifice and even killed themselves just to annoy me. In some aspects of character, is it beyond the understanding of ordinary human nature?"

Lieutenant General Thomas frowned at Yang Ming.

Yang Ming's eyes were clear, and Thomas and Thomas would finally look at each other.

"Now the entire empire is paying attention to this matter," Thomas said, "We have noticed that there are many foreign forces behind the scenes, trying to intensify class conflicts in the empire. This kind of behavior is extremely shameful. We should now let We will act with the aim of restoring calm to the public opinion of the empire, and the investigation of the matter will never stop."

"Unfortunately, lieutenant general," Yang Ming said, "I have great respect for your personal achievements and abilities, but in this matter, I must stick to my principles."

Thomas asked, "What's your code?"

"To be a hero of the empire," Yang Ming raised his head slightly, "A hero should stand before the weak, stand before justice, be fearless, and pursue the true truth!"

Thomas said firmly: "The truth will only be delayed by at most half a day!"

Yang Ming said: "But if we lose this attention and lose the people's silent support and solidarity in various ways at this moment, will the mastermind behind it really be punished as it should be? The people's right to know This kind of thing may not be suitable to be mentioned in the empire, but the civil code of the empire clearly stipulates that the civilian class is the citizen of the empire and has the full right to know about historical events and major disasters!"

"Hendon!"

"Lieutenant General, please don't try to convince me," Yang Ming raised his head slightly, "Even if I risk everything today and lose my title of nobility and this territory, I must give justice to those innocent people! If Lieutenant General you want If you stop me, please let the Imperial Noble Court arrest me on the spot for sedition!"

Thomas sighed: "Hendon, you are the hero of the empire, the military is proud of you, how could..."

"Sedition?"

Suddenly there was a chuckle from behind.

It was a chuckle coming from the loudspeaker of the luxury suspension car.

The car door was opened, the music of the orchestra reached its climax, and the guards on both sides simultaneously inspired and raised the decorative golden lightsabers in their hands, and the whole courtyard was covered with a layer of soft golden light.

The tall and handsome prince entered with a smile, and his voice continued to pass through the directional capture device in the car, floating all over the courtyard.

"I didn't expect that Earl Hanton had such a clear understanding of his mistakes."

Many old people in the field frowned subconsciously.

Standing at the best viewing position on the balcony on the second floor, Greis couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Prince Gehali moved forward calmly, but his buttons and wristwatch were obviously triggered light shield generators, and after he walked a few steps, he stopped far away, looking up at Yang Ming.

"My lord, have you forgotten the basic etiquette of nobles?"

Yang Ming frowned slightly, and glanced at Lieutenant General Thomas.

The facial muscles of Lieutenant General Thomas were shaking slightly, but he still said gently: "This is the one appointed by His Majesty to appease the people, His Royal Highness."

He said the four words to appease the people very clearly.

But His Royal Highness at the door, who had promised him to lower his profile before, turned a deaf ear to him.

Now, 6% of the empire's population is actively or passively watching the live broadcast through various means.

And if this live broadcast breaks out bigger news, its video data will be crazily spread throughout the entire empire network, and sent to the eyes of most people in the empire.

Yang Ming: Could this guy be trying to make trouble?

Gehali: Now is the best time to publicize the majesty of imperial power and change my bad impression on my father!

"Earl Handon!" Gehali's eyes sharpened, "Shouldn't you salute me?"

Most of the nobles in the courtyard had already saluted once before, but now, several elderly people reacted quickly and saluted again, and everyone followed suit, wanting to give Yang Ming a step down.

Yang Ming put his hands behind his back again, and stared at Gehali calmly.

"Did you give the order to fire?"

Gehali looked speechless: "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Is that so?" Yang Ming said indifferently, "There is a senior judge of the noble court at the scene. I would like to ask, what is the crime of intentionally murdering thousands of people and imperial princesses?"

The courtyard is incredibly quiet.

The sun shines on the vines, gently caressed by the breeze.

"ha."

Prince Gehali laughed suddenly: "Please ask the senior judge to answer our earl's question, and tell him by the way, what is the crime of being rude to the prince."

A middle-aged man walked out with his head bowed, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, being rude to the prince is disrespectful to your superiors. You need to be warned and fined. If it is serious, you can be detained for self-reflection."

Prince Gehali looked up at Yang Ming.

Yang Ming asked: "Don't you want to answer my question?"

The middle-aged man said: "Well, the deliberate murder of thousands of people and imperial princesses, the maximum penalty of the Noble Code and the Civil Code... Given that the planner of this matter has committed suicide in fear of crime, the main body of responsibility for this matter will be those who The officer who ordered the firing does not apply to the noble code, it should be... the death penalty."

Yang Ming's voice was a little cold: "The main messenger is at large, and several pawns are sentenced to death, is that so?"

Someone at the side immediately said: "Earl Hanton, we can understand your emotions, but the existing evidence is not enough to show that there is a bigger mastermind behind it."

"On the contrary, you should think about it," an old man snorted, "Why did the two honorable earls with a bright future want to retaliate against you at all costs? Why didn't they retaliate against other people? The ones who brought disaster to Saka , isn’t it just your Excellency who is arrogant and domineering on weekdays?”

Whew, that's the start of licking?

Yang Ming looked down, most of the people in the courtyard were facing him.

They are together.

Yang Ming knew from the very beginning that these guys were all in the same group, and now it is not uncommon to stand decisively in front of Prince Gehali.

Lieutenant General Thomas tried to smooth things over: "Let's go in and chat, Hanton, please come in, His Royal Highness."

Yang Ming still wanted to show Thomas this face, but His Royal Highness at the door said with a smile: "No need, Earl Hanton doesn't seem to welcome me."

"Yes," Yang Ming's thoughts changed sharply, and he said calmly, "I suspect that His Highness is the main messenger behind it, so I have become hostile to His Highness."

"Please don't talk nonsense without evidence."

Prince Gehali said with a smile, with his left hand in his trouser pocket, with a warm smile on his face:

"Daphne is my most beloved sister. How could I have the heart to hurt her? Mr. Phantom, you broadcast the live broadcast with such fanfare and spread it widely in the empire, trying to intensify conflicts and create conflicts. The crime of incitement seems to be It can be implemented."

"Yeah?"

Yang Ming laughed suddenly, and asked slowly, "How do you punish the crime of incitement?"

The middle-aged man immediately said: "Depending on the situation, it usually starts with five years in prison, and there is no upper limit."

"This charge is really scary, but it's okay, you don't have any evidence," Yang Ming said with a smile, "Is there any clear record in the noble code, if two nobles fight and cause some flesh injuries, how should they be dealt with?"

"Fights and fights are mainly about mediation."

"Is the party being beaten the second in line to the throne?"

"This, this..."

The middle-aged man looked up at Yang Ming, his expression changed: "This is a felony that must be imprisoned, Lord Earl, don't act recklessly!"

"I'm messing around? What's wrong with me?"

Yang Ming spread his hands and walked down the steps: "Did I do anything?"

"Handon!" Lieutenant General Thomas realized that something was wrong, and chased two steps forward, but his movements suddenly stopped.

A shock wave suddenly exploded from Yang Ming's forehead.

The ordinary people at the scene were all dizzy and couldn't stand steadily, but they didn't feel the violent impact, they were just a little confused.

Very gentle mental disturbance.

However, the situation of Prince Gehali was a little more serious. He was in a precarious figure, and he was about to fall after taking two steps back, but he felt that his arm was being held by a big hand.

The prince's wristwatch shone brightly, and a soft film of light wrapped his figure.

"Hey," Yang Ming's voice penetrated into Prince Gehali's ears.

Prince Gehali looked up, and what he saw was Yang Ming's smiling face, a few floating photo balls, and the somewhat dazzling starlight.

"you you……"

"Unfortunately, I have no evidence to prove that you ordered this operation," Yang Ming sighed.

Gehali was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but felt the big hand holding his arm suddenly tighten.

He just felt that the world was spinning in front of his eyes, his body was just like a tattered bag, being pulled up, over the guy's shoulders, and smashed down hard.

There was a muffled bang.

Although Gehali was protected by a shield, his brain was still shocked by the concussion, and he almost passed out directly.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have any illusions about you."

Yang Ming squatted down slowly, his palms slowly approached Gehali's eye sockets, and said in a warm voice:

"Your Highness, once I find conclusive evidence, I will personally send you to the highest court of nobility in Emperor Star, and I will let hundreds of billions of people in the empire witness your final fate.

"I gave you a chance, but you are so useless.

"Your wise and great majesty, how could there be a son like you, you are too embarrassing for the royal family."

After finishing speaking, Yang Ming lightly patted Gehali's cheek, crushed Gehali's wristwatch, took off his button, and said with a smile, "If I want to harm His Highness, your protective device It's useless."

A guard rushed up with a terrified expression.

Yang Ming did not resist, and left the prince's side voluntarily; those guards who tried to get close to him were all bounced off by the red light film around him.

"Your Honor," Yang Ming turned his head and said, "Take me to your court boat. I had some physical conflicts with His Royal Highness just now. Is this a serious brawl?"

The judge's Adam's apple trembled, and just about to nod, he shook his head subconsciously.

He is so afraid of being beaten!

Lieutenant General Thomas raised his hand to his forehead, but he was relieved in his heart, after all, it was just an over-the-shoulder fall.

Lieutenant General Thomas had already realized that although Yang Ming's actions were outrageous, they were wonderfully well-measured, not only diverting the public's anger to His Royal Highness, but also not compromising to the royal family.

Gehali was helped up by the guards. He looked at Yang Ming's back unsteadily, and just wanted to curse a few words angrily, but when he saw those floating shadow balls, he immediately suppressed his anger and swiped lightly. Sweep the dust.

"You are very rude, Lord Hunton."

Yang Ming's mouth twitched slightly.

This guy is not without merit.

"Brother!"

Daphne's voice suddenly came from behind, and Gehali turned his head to look over, and immediately showed a warm smile, as if the previous embarrassment had disappeared.

Daphne stepped forward quickly.

Gehali immediately opened his arms. If he wasn't still a little dizzy, he would definitely have walked up.

"Oh, Daphne, it's great that you're fine, you were frightened, right? I'll take you back to Emperor Star to recuperate..."

Snapped!

A crisp sound sounded on Gehali's cheek.

Because he was still dizzy, Gehali didn't feel much pain, but he felt the force, and turned his head to look aside after being hit.

He widened his eyes and stood there in astonishment.

However, before he could react, he felt a sharp pain from his lower body. Daphne, who was wearing an elegant long dress, raised and lowered her right leg, leaving a heavy cold snort at Gehali.

"Daphne...how dare you...oh!"

Gehali fell to his knees side by side.

Daphne walked around him, stepped on the crystal shoe and walked behind Yang Ming.

"Judge, I also participated in the brawl, please count me in for the imprisonment."

Yang Ming blinked: "You're rubbing my traffic again."

"Is there?" Daphne crossed her arms, "I'm just expressing my dissatisfaction with an unscrupulous brother."

Yang Ming: ...

Mad, he originally planned to take advantage of this wave of wounds tearing apart the empire, and take advantage of the opportunity to put himself in prison for a period of time, so that he would not be implicated in the execution of the assassination plan, and then hold some demonstrations after the turmoil subsides Let the Empire let him out.

What a trick, kills three birds with one stone, and hides Chen Cang.

Now why, it suddenly changed?

This is in front of the entire empire audience!

There must be hundreds of thousands of 'knocked' floating in the barrage at this moment!

Yang Ming asked: "You won't lock me in a cell, will you?"

Daphne pursed her lips and glanced at him with a slightly disgusted expression.
