Walk alone in the abyss

A beautiful morning begins with the personal service of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

When Yang Ming opened his eyes, he saw Daphne's delicate, flawless and beautiful face.

She stared at Yang Ming as if appreciating a treasured artwork, not concealing her attachment at all, and the sense of satisfaction that runs through her soul at this moment.

A little lingering, Yang Ming was urged by Daphne to get up and prepare for today's speech.

This is the task that Yang Ming promised Director Ino before—to give a speech to the entire army of the empire. A riot is defined as a farce of 'foreign forces with ulterior motives attempting to overthrow a great empire'.

How could Yang Ming really read the manuscript.

Even when Daphne was cleaning his face and skin care, he already smelled some unusual smells.

In the bathroom in the corner of the palace, Yang Ming was lying on a microgravity chair, looking up at the mural above.

The content of the mural is the encounter between the founding emperor Levi Sherman and one of his more than a dozen concubines.

Daphne sat on top of Yang Ming's head, gently spread some gel-like substance on Yang Ming's face, spread it evenly, and pressed it lightly, and brought some heating devices that seemed to have no sense of technology, let Yang Ming It feels warm.

"Your skin condition doesn't seem to have changed."

Daphne muttered softly, and then discussed the reason for this phenomenon with the maid on the side.

The maids said that they are not experts on ancient gods, and they really don't understand these things.

Yang Ming laughed: "Just make sense, I don't want to wear a military uniform with delicate skin and flesh, that would be an insult to the soldiers of the empire."

"You are biased," Daphne said softly, continuing to help Yang Ming gently rub her cheeks, "Father has just issued a message that it seems that your speech will be broadcast live on all official channels simultaneously. Websites and social platforms have announced the news that you are about to give a speech to members of the Imperial Army."

Yang Ming said indifferently: "Is your father so confident? Are you really not afraid that I will shout Long Live Freedom?"

"This is not an appropriate joke," Daphne frowned. "Hanton, what the empire needs now is to restore stability. This is the best option for the people."

Yang Ming hummed, closed his eyes and enjoyed her service.

A guard came hurriedly from the side, standing ten meters away, performing aristocratic etiquette, and said quickly:

"Dear Grand Duke Phantom, the time of the speech is three galaxy hours later. You need to go to the Imperial Meritorious Warship Splendid Prince. It will take about one galaxy hour to reach the Splendid Prince from here."

Before Yang Ming could speak, Daphne frowned and looked over: "Why did the location change? Shouldn't it be in the square in front of the palace?"

"This," the guard whispered, "I'm sorry Your Highness, I'm just in charge of delivering the order."

"Go down."

Daphne's eyes were a little stern, and the guard didn't dare to lift his head, and turned and left in a hurry.

Yang Ming smiled and said, "Don't be angry, the temporary change of location has long been expected by me."

"I'm afraid they'll take the risk," Daphne said. "Uncle Ino sent me a letter this morning. At their round table meeting yesterday, they confirmed that they will be tolerant and kind to you. I hope you can become a helper for the long-term stability of the empire." But my uncle also mentioned that some elders of the family are very dissatisfied with this decision, and they may have the possibility of taking military risks.”

Yang Ming's eyes lit up.

This round table has also begun to disagree?

That's a good feeling.

The civil strife in the empire should be caused by nobles and commoners.

Yang Ming said with a smile: "After all, I scolded them and let them lose face. It is reasonable for those old men who are used to being superior and do not want to let me go easily. Military adventure... I don't think this is possible. They You can’t even lose sight of the big picture, and if you attack me at this time, wouldn’t that force the people to rebel?”

"They can do anything.

"They don't care about the people at all."

Daphne bit her lip lightly, with some thoughts in her eyes, then she looked down at Yang Ming.

The two are facing each other 180 degrees apart.

"Handon, make some preparations first. I'll ask my father and uncle. If this matter is settled, I'll go to that ship in advance and take people to check the details."

"Daphne!"

Daphne got up to leave.

Yang Ming called from behind, but Daphne didn't intend to stop, and quickly rushed to her cloakroom.

Boss Yang hesitated to speak, then shook his head and continued to lie back in the chair.

A maid stepped forward and continued to massage Yang Ming's face.

Hum, buzz!

Yang Ming's watch vibrated slightly.

He made a gesture, and the surrounding maids understood, bowed their heads and retreated.

Yang Ming glanced at his wristwatch, and there were two messages on it. Interestingly, the two messages came from two goddesses of the Internet world and two mechanical thinking bodies of the same origin. The difference is that one is his own and the other is a potential enemy.

[Law: Boss, there are bombs on that ship, and they are four high-explosive shaped energy bombs of different types at different locations. A senior agent from the new Federal CIA, the last one was in the engine room of that ship, and it is unknown who put it. 】

Yang Ming blinked.

Four, four?

This thing... Good guy... I'm in the empire, so I'm so unpopular? !

Boss Yang was not in a hurry to reply to his little assistant, and opened the second text message.

The message is simple.

[Everything is under my arrangement. 】

No need to think about it, only Li can crack the encrypted channel between him and Lu, so the news is naturally sent by Barber.

The only hopeful Labrador has no shadow yet.

Yang Ming sent Li a message back.

【Don't worry, it's been arranged. 】

In the thinking space, Li thought for a while, and knowing that her secret communication with the boss was no longer secret, she let out a sigh of relief.

The next speech is probably a stage for all parties to wrestle.

Her influence on Emperor Star is really limited, and what she can do now is to make more records of 'fishing for the master'.

The extracorporeal rebirth of cell clusters, if you can use it, don't use it, even if the boss can maintain his personality, he will inevitably lose part of his strength.

There are not many bugs that can be chopped down now, if the boss's strength can not be compromised, naturally it is better not to be compromised.

In Daphne's bedroom, Yang Ming put his watch back on his wrist and waved to the side, while the maids bowed their heads and continued to serve.

He closed his eyes, enjoying the peace of this moment, his fingers were beating lightly.

Fifteen minutes later, Daphne sent a communication invitation.

The venue of the speech was changed to the command ship of Prince Brilliant. It was an order from the four elders of the military department. The old emperor was afraid that they would really do something, so he sent three elders with real power from the Elder's House and two princes who were among the top ten successors to the throne to go together. Splendid Prince.

When Yang Ming heard the news, his expression was naturally very calm, but his tongue clicked slightly in his heart.

Sure enough, "a tiger's poison does not eat its children" is only an ethical viewpoint in the farming civilization period.

Yang Ming asked: "Daphne, where are you now?"

"On the way to the Splendid Prince," Daphne turned the camera to show the ship she was on, "You wait for my news later, and I will notify you when I am sure there is no problem here. If they urge You, don't bother with them."

"It's too dangerous," Yang Ming pondered a few times.

"Are you worried about me?"

Daphne smiled softly, with a bit of smugness in her eyes.

The trusted maids and guards beside her were a little taken aback.

Their highness, when facing the white ghost, seemed to be a different person, without the vigorous and resolute before, and with a little more coquettishness of a little girl.

"Okay," Yang Ming shook his head, "I'll wait for your news here... Later I will send the twelve armed robots of Dawa and the others to your side to protect your safety, and discuss with me if you have any problems."

"Alright my lord," Daphne said with a smile, "I will proceed with caution."

Yang Ming hung up the communication and tapped his watch a few times.

Law naturally heard what he said just now. A medium-sized transport ship that had been waiting at the Emperor Star space port was approaching the military port. The armed maid who had been preparing for a long time inside would appear beside Daphne soon.

The Dongfeng, which was parked outside the defensive circle of the Emperor Star, took action immediately, approaching the Brilliant Prince far away.

A guard rushed over from the side: "Grand Duke, Your Majesty invites you to have breakfast."

"Well, I'll go now."

Yang Ming responded.

These guys with their own ghosts don't know what other tricks they have.

...

The breakfast in the palace was naturally very sumptuous, and Yang Ming and the old emperor continued to chat and laugh happily, making some advance predictions for the content of the upcoming speech.

A 600-meter-long special frigate has been floating above the palace module, waiting for transfer.

The two princes in the palace and the three elders of the Elder's House had already entered the ship one step ahead. After hearing some wind, they waited nervously for the arrival of the white ghost.

Yang Ming's side had just finished eating, and Daphne's side had already arrived at the command ship of the Splendid Prince, and started scanning the entire ship.

Even if he hadn't seen the situation over there with his own eyes, Yang Ming could still imagine how many people on that command ship were sweating right now.

"Hendon, it's almost time."

The old emperor glanced at the time and said with a smile, "You can go to give a speech."

"Your Majesty," Yang Ming said with a smile, "Daphne asked me to wait for her news, she is afraid that someone will harm me."

The old emperor couldn't help laughing: "Handon, what are you worried about? When you give a speech, there will be a group of princes, elders, and ministers standing behind you. Who dares to touch you here?"

"Yes, Your Majesty," Yang Ming nodded seriously, and then said, "Besides, ordinary means cannot really threaten my life, but I am worried that the attack on me was not to make me shut up or disappear, It's because of some political considerations."

The old emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked solemnly: "Political considerations? Why?"

"It's actually quite complicated."

Yang Ming said seriously:

"Your Majesty, the empire has not yet emerged from the shadow of national turmoil.

"The military suppressed the riots by force, and various places began to implement curfews and restrictions on travel. The public's anxiety is on the rise. This has been reflected in the economic level. Large areas have seen the phenomenon of people hoarding supplies.

"At this juncture, because I was promoted by you and praised by the people as a hero of the empire, my words and deeds have attracted much attention.

"If I was attacked during my speech, the impact on the people would be huge. The national riots that have just been forcibly suppressed will break out again on a multiplied scale."

The old emperor frowned tightly and kept nodding beside him.

Yang Ming observed the emperor's slight expression, and continued: "So, from this point of view, the forces that want to mess up the empire are most likely to attack me at this time, and then put the blame on the great nobles of the empire. The CIA has been operating within the empire for many years, and this has to be guarded against."

"That's right," the old emperor nodded slowly, "Handon, what you think makes sense, but that ship is the most important thing for the military to protect..."

"Your Majesty, who chose that ship?"

"An elder of the family, that ship has accompanied him in battle for many years."

"Your Majesty," Yang Ming laughed, "I just mentioned the first possibility, and there are other possibilities, for example, someone wants to take this opportunity to express their strong opinion to the political situation of the empire and the people of the empire. Attitude. Your elders formally respect public opinion, but in fact they have been separated from the public for a hundred or two hundred years. I am really worried about their mental state."

The old emperor leaned aside and said in a low voice, "You are worried..."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Okay," the old emperor shook his head slightly, "Handon, I think your sense of crisis is too strong..."

"His Majesty!"

A guard rushed over from outside the door, bowed and saluted from a distance, and announced loudly: "His Royal Highness Daphne found two high-explosive shaped energy bombs while scanning the Brilliant Prince!"

"What!"

The old emperor's eyes widened, and he cursed angrily: "It's against them! It's against them! The pillars of my empire, my two sons, are they going to be killed together! Or two, two... two?"

The guard immediately knelt down.

"Your Majesty! There are two! One is under the podium, and the other is in the spaceship's energy compartment. Both are... high-performance explosive bombs that can completely destroy heavy battleships!"

"Asshole!"

The old emperor was furious.

Yang Ming was a little unclear, whether the old emperor was playing a show, or was angry because he felt that the plan had been ruined.

After appreciating the old emperor's acting skills, Yang Ming didn't want to stay any longer.

He stood up and said to the guard, "Has the scan been completed?"

"Scanned three times."

"Your Majesty," Yang Ming turned around and said with a smile, "It should be the two bombs dropped by the New Federal CIA and your parents. It's just a trivial matter. Don't take it too seriously. I'm going to board the Brilliant Prince."

"Alright Hanton," the old emperor said angrily, "Thank you for your hard work...you will give a speech according to the speech script in your hand, won't you?"

"Yes Your Majesty, is there a question?"

"You can actually play it yourself," the emperor said with a smile, "this time I opened a live broadcast of the whole territory for you, and invested a lot of resources. Don't be too rigid, and don't always sing praises, otherwise you won't get the resonance of the people. Feeling, you can talk about the problems of the empire, as long as you give everyone some hope, some determination to solve these problems is enough."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Yang Ming performed a knight salute.

The knight commander badge on his chest is quite dazzling.

The old emperor smiled with satisfaction.

However, when Yang Ming left the hall, the old emperor's expression became gloomy at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He sent someone to set off the bomb under the podium, with the intention of blaming the four elders of the military department.

When it was confirmed that Yang Ming had boarded the ferry boat to the protective ship in the air, the old emperor kicked over the table in front of him, like an angry and aging lion.

In the ferry boat.

Before Yang Ming could sit still, his watch vibrated slightly.

[Go to the bathroom. 】

Sister Li sent the latest instructions.

Yang Ming glanced at the two guards behind the ferry boat, stood up with a smile, and walked straight towards the bathroom without saying anything.

He only has one minute.

Opening the small door of the bathroom, Yang Ming immediately saw...another self standing in the corner.

Omnics?

Yang Ming thought of the old emperor of the Luofeng Empire, the old omnic that had fooled the Luofeng Empire for several years. Scanning instruments.

The omnic held a helmet in his hand.

Yang Ming smiled and said, "Is it necessary? Sister, you can just come or not."

A few lines of small characters appeared on the shell of the helmet.

[I can't imitate your demeanor.

[This is a special omnic that is not known to the empire. It is more sophisticated than what you have seen in Luofeng, and it also has some combat capabilities.

[I placed a shaped energy bomb in the power furnace of that ship, and placed twelve milligrams of antimatter on the periphery.

[You don’t need to move later, just hide in this bathroom, and I will send you out of Emperor Star. 】

Yang Ming gave a thumbs up, quickly sat on the artistically shaped toilet, put on the helmet, and turned on the omnic.

The borrowing of reason officially begins.
