Walk alone in the abyss

"This is Emperor Star Broadcasting, bringing you the latest information about Emperor Star.

"Today's headlines, the imperial hero task force that has received much attention has successfully returned last night, and the imperial hero white ghost returned victoriously, and is expected to arrive at the surface of Emperor Star at noon.

"In the past year, in accordance with His Majesty's will, the white ghost traveled to and from key areas of the empire, supervised the nobles' rectification work, removed thousands of rotten moths attached to the bone marrow of the empire, and rehabilitated more than 300 unjust, false and wrong cases... ..."

beep!

With a slight sound, Yang Ming turned off the radio of the hover car, and watched the scenery outside the car window with a smile.

Emperor Star hasn't changed at all, it's still as busy and depressed as ever.

The voices and fragrances in the driver's seat and the co-pilot's seat became inexplicably nervous at this moment.

Yang Ming returned to the palace to report to the emperor, and they were also asked to return to the tentacles to report on their duties.

The two of them knew about it, and the higher-ups would definitely ask them how their relationship with the white ghost has developed, and whether they have had a sleeping relationship, and this cannot deceive people. A scan can find that the two of them are still pure, with a high probability Will be regarded as a perfunctory attitude and incompetent work.

But what can they do?

In order to complete the operation earlier, Yang Ming did not give the task force too much rest time at all, and Yang Ming also habitually left the team for operations, leaving a lot of work to them.

Not to mention, because of the series of crises that followed, even small-scale air battles broke out, and vicious incidents such as assassinations and poisoned drinking often occurred, they were worried every day, and they had to take turns to be on duty while sleeping, and there was no chance of overthrowing the white ghost.

The most important thing is... that captain Catherine, who spends most of the time by the side of the white ghost.

This pair of male and female friends are like glue and respect each other like guests. They are inseparable wherever they go. They will never run over to be cheerleaders when the two of them are resting.

At the beginning, they thought that the white ghost was not greedy for fame or merit, but wanted to support them.

Later, they gradually determined...

The white ghost simply wants to be the hands-off shopkeeper!

"Tsk, I'm in big trouble."

Han Yin in the co-pilot's seat got more and more headaches as he thought about it, and couldn't help raising his hand to his forehead, and let out a soft moan from the tip of his nose.

Yang Ming laughed, wondering: "You two sisters have made so many contributions in the past year, why are you still frowning?"

Hanyin snorted: "If you haven't completed the most important task, you will definitely be held accountable when you go back."

Han Xiang, who was driving, said with a smile: "Actually, nothing will happen. If it's a big deal, don't reward me."

"How can you not be rewarded? You two did the work, and you didn't get rewarded in the end? It's unreasonable. I can't see it anyway."

Yang Ming raised his eyebrows, he probably understood what the tasks of these two maids were.

He smiled and said, "Don't worry, when we get off the bus, we'll be more intimate, maybe we can help you get along."

Han Xiang almost sent the car out of the fast lane.

"Forget it, forget it," Han Xiang replied softly, her pretty face blushing inexplicably.

Although she has gotten along very well with Yang Ming, her face still hasn't learned one percent of the essence of Boss Yang.

Hanyin sighed faintly: "Yeah, forget it, what does the reward have to do with us? What reward can we give us? We are palace maids, and the meaning of life is to be loyal to His Majesty. We rewarded the heroes of the empire, but the heroes of the empire treat us like hard labor, so be it.”

"You little comrade, you have always had problems with your thinking."

Yang Ming leaned forward, supported the seats on both sides, and said seriously:

"It is our duty to be loyal to His Majesty. Your Majesty has not rewarded you to someone. You are independent human beings with your own personality.

"Your Majesty just transferred you to work beside me, and I gave you the opportunity to make contributions.

"You have to learn to be grateful, do you understand gratitude?"

"Bah! I know how to fool people!"

Hanyin angrily turned his head to grab Yang Ming, Yang Ming dodged back calmly, and hit her on the hand by the way, Hanyin was so painful that he almost cried out.

Seeing this, Yang Ming shook his head.

Among my beautiful subordinates, this Hanyin is the most special, with low strength and strong temper, it is completely different from 026.

When I have free time later, I still think of a way to get 026 to give the two of them a high-intensity special training.

However, the Dongfeng can only enter but not exit, and the two of them are not yet suitable for touching their core secrets.

In front of the palace gate, the palace guard of honor stood quietly. When Yang Ming's vehicle approached, a group of soldiers raised the metal long sword with a somewhat strange shape in their hands, and the orchestras on both sides played a loud and clear symphony.

Hanyin and Hanxiang got out of the car at the same time, and opened the door for Yang Ming.

Yang Ming did what he said, and slightly staggered his arms so that the sisters could hold his arms left and right.

Helping others is purely helping others.

...

As soon as Hanyin and Hanxiang entered the palace, they were called away by a middle-aged maid.

The emperor of the empire prepared a grand banquet for Yang Ming. A large number of newly promoted aristocrats on the Emperor Star had already assembled half an hour earlier, waiting for Yang Ming's arrival.

Under Yang Ming's feet were steps that were constantly changing colors, and at the end of the steps was the majestic and solemn Emperor's Office Hall.

A few passes, and a few replies.

At the end of the steps, Yang Ming looked up and saw the bustling crowd in the hall, as well as His Majesty the Emperor sitting quietly on the high seat.

Standing in front of the gate, Yang Ming performed the imperial military salute and stepped inside. As an honorary earl, he bowed his head and bowed his body to pay his respects to His Majesty the Emperor.

A middle-aged man on the side began to applaud.

Applause from everywhere rushed towards Yang Ming like waves, and projections of flower petals fluttering around appeared in the entire hall.

The old emperor slowly stood up on his throne, smiling and applauding.

Yang Ming couldn't help but have slight ripples in his heart.

Unfortunately, all this is not much enjoyment for him.

A maid bowed to invite, Yang Ming followed the maid and walked along the red carpet.

The nobles wore sincere and warm smiles, and the young girls who were specially brought to today's feast by their fathers stared straight at the handsome face of the 'Honorary Earl of Honton'.

Go forward dozens of steps until you reach the throne.

The applause in the hall gradually subsided, and the nobles came forward and gathered behind Yang Ming.

Yang Ming got the script given by the court etiquette officer last night, what he has to do now is to recite it emotionally.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty has lived up to his mission and walked the territory of the empire for 375 days to picket the corrupt nobles of the empire, to publicize the majesty of His Majesty, and to care for the livelihood of the people!

"Nowadays, the aristocratic atmosphere in the empire has generally been brought out of chaos, and the phenomenon of oppressing the people has been greatly reduced!

"People from all over the world are grateful for His Majesty's generosity and love, and praise His Majesty's great character..."

"okay."

The old emperor waved his hands with a smile:

"Don't say clichés, you don't feel disgusted when you say this word, but I feel disgusted when I hear it.

"Sit down, everyone, stop the music, get a loudspeaker for my guard knight, and tell me today, how those daring nobles you met on the road hindered law enforcement!

"I heard that they even used the fleet to deal with you?"

Yang Ming laughed, all the nobles quickly saluted, and quickly returned to their positions, filling the perimeter of dozens of oval tables.

A few maids moved a long table for six people and placed it in front of Yang Ming, and moved a chair for Yang Ming, and placed it on the center line of the hall, directly opposite the emperor.

This position made Yang Ming a little more vigilant in his heart.

When the maid retreated, he took the initiative to pull the chair to the side and sat at the side of the long table, not facing the emperor face to face.

The old emperor squinted and smiled, stepped down from the throne, and sat at the head of the long table.

The maids began to bring delicacies, and Yang Ming found a good time to complain:

"Your Majesty, this road is indeed very dangerous.

"According to incomplete statistics, my team and I encountered a total of 39 poisonings and 12 assassinations by professional killers. By the way, we also helped several local security stations arrest a group of underworld gangs.

"As for the private fleet of the nobles, there were actually only four times, but it was just a few earls with fiefs who were unwilling to plead guilty and tried to intimidate us.

"Before they opened fire every time, I had breached their flagship and successfully avoided the topic of the imperial nobles declaring war on the official, which might shock the interstellar network.

"Also, don't worry, Your Majesty, when we breached their flagship, we didn't kill the ordinary soldiers, we just stunned them. After all, they just obeyed orders."

"I didn't expect them to be so bold!"

The old emperor sighed softly:

"Fortunately, you are the host this time, and you have the ultimate strength to fight against small fleets. Otherwise, I will have to go to war with them and clean up the moths all over the place!"

The nobles in the hall were silent.

Yang Ming naturally saw the meaning of the old emperor wanting to beat up the nobles in the hall, and answered with a smile: "Your Majesty, has the Emperor Star been stable this year?"

The old emperor inserted a piece of preserved fruit, stuffed it into his mouth, and said slowly:

"One of the great elders is pending, and there are always a group of old nobles chattering in my ears.

"However, the House of Elders is sensible now, and some time ago, several bills were passed, giving me, the emperor, the right of emergency trial.

"That's really ironic.

"The power is originally given by the emperor, but in turn restricts the emperor. If I want to do something, can their elders stop it?"

Yang Ming: Isn't it time for you to be forced into the palace?

Of course, you can't say that on this occasion.

Yang Ming laughed and said: "Actually, this is just a form to show the empire's respect for the noble class and the people. Once you give an order, the elders will definitely carry it out. Who dares to disobey your majesty's will. "

"Fart, hahaha! Cough, cough, cough!"

The old emperor almost choked on himself, and the maid hurried forward and patted the emperor's back lightly.

The emperor laughed and scolded: "There are many elders sitting next to you, you speak with a bit of sense!"

Yang Ming glanced left and right. Although many old people were a little embarrassed, they tried their best to smile.

The emperor asked: "Is there anything interesting during your time away? Let's not talk about serious topics today, and talk more about interesting things."

Yang Ming smiled and nodded. Having done his homework before, he began to chat about the customs of the empire's "Xinghe River North and South".

The atmosphere of the banquet quickly became relaxed and warm.

The emperor smiled and chatted with Yang Ming, and the nobles also started a small-scale social activity at the same table.

Many young girls took the opportunity to touch up and adjust their makeup, waiting for today's climax ball, hoping to get the invitation from the young man who was at the same table as the emperor.

In the evening, the banquet in the palace came to an end, and high-end suspension vehicles drove away from the gate of the palace.

Yang Ming naturally did not let any noble woman succeed.

He has been by the emperor's side, or under the emperor's signal, chatting with the newly promoted elders with real power.

In front of the emperor, Yang Ming did not keep anyone's contact information, and the chat with the elders was also a little perfunctory.

After the big banquet, there will be a small banquet.

This is the reserved item of the palace - the emperor's hard party.

In a small palace hall, the dim light is full of hints, and the beautiful bodies that can be seen everywhere maintain a seductive posture.

Yang Ming also had a few more beauties in cool clothes, and those inadvertent body frictions made Yang Ming cry out.

Down to business in this situation... who can stay sane and 100% focused?

However, the emperor also threw out a few more thought-provoking questions.

"Handon, my knight, what reward do you want this time?"

The emperor said with a smile:

"Now that you have stood on the opposite side of the aristocratic class, they fear and hate you, why don't you simply set up an aristocratic supervision department, and you will be the head of the department.

"It's a deterrent."

"This, I'm afraid I can't do it," Yang Ming shook his head, "And Your Majesty, I don't have much skill in doing things, and I always feel uncomfortable when I'm tied up in one place."

The emperor wondered: "Do you know what the head of a department means?

"You will be in charge of a system, become the highest minister of the empire, or the minister who monitors the nobles.

"No matter where you go, there will be a group of nobles coaxing and holding on, fame, honor, power, women, oh, out of respect, there can also be men.

"Everything is within reach for you."

Yang Ming secretly sighed in his heart, this minister, how many ships does he have?

"Your Majesty, if I take this position, after a while, it will be impossible for us to chat like this."

Yang Ming smiled and said:

"You will definitely fear me, this is inevitable, no matter how great the emperor is, he will not allow his subjects to gain fame and real power at the same time.

"In the empire now, because I am targeting the nobles, the people's favorability for me has increased too much. If I gain fame, I will definitely not be able to hold real power.

"Your Majesty, you'd better give me an easier position, let me be silent for ten or eight years, and wait for the people to forget the white ghost."

The old emperor frowned and looked at Yang Ming, then laughed dumbfoundedly: "You are too sober."

"Your Majesty, I think you should fulfill your promise and take that group of cells..."

"Handon," the old emperor said softly, "come and give me an idea. A minister suggested to set up a House of Commons and use this House of Commons to formulate ordinary civil laws. The members of the House of Commons are all civilians. What do you think? "

Yang Ming nodded slowly: "This is a good idea, but if it is implemented, it will inevitably encounter great resistance. Your Majesty, that group of cells..."

The old emperor squinted and smiled: "Resistance is okay. After your efforts, now is the most peaceful moment for the noble class. Hanton, where do you think I should be next, and continue to toss our ancient empire?"

Yang Ming smiled and said: "I dare not talk nonsense about this matter. Your Majesty naturally has your plan. If you need me to serve you, I will definitely do my best. But Your Majesty, didn't you promise me before, that group of cells... ..."

"Hendon!"

The old emperor frowned and said:

"Why do you always think about the improvement of your personal force?

"Is there any room for personal power to resist in the face of Starfleet-based power?

"If it wasn't for my power, would you appear in front of me and speak so softly to me?

"However, since you insist on wanting that group of cells, I can't seem unreasonable. After all, you have made too much credit for the empire. I will give you this opportunity. Someone will take you to a research institute tomorrow. What you want The clumps are there."

There was a little smile in the eyes of the old emperor.

Yang Ming immediately understood that things might not be so simple.

"Other than that, the rewards that should be given to you will be given to you exactly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Yang Ming muttered to himself.

In fact, he also deliberately used that group of cells as his weakness, so that the old emperor felt that he could firmly control himself.

When he found out that the old emperor didn't want to give him the mass of cells, he already knew that he had to go through other channels than the official one.

But...the research institute?

A confidential research institute on Emperor Star?

This can be an eye-opener.
