Walk alone in the abyss

Outside the gate of the palace, there were no reporters.

This made Yang Ming, who had prepared a scene, feel deeply regretful after it came out.

——This is Emperor Star. Unless it is arranged in advance, few reporters have the ability to approach the palace module.

An extended suspension car drove slowly, the back seat of the car door opened, Princess Daphne turned her head to look outside the car door, and nodded slightly to Yang Ming.

Yang Ming squeezed an ugly smile, declined Princess Daphne's kindness with gestures, turned around and took a few steps forward, then opened the red film, flew up, and flew straight towards the hotel where he was staying before.

Princess Daphne frowned slightly: "Can't Emperor Star legislate to prohibit humans from flying around at will?"

The maid driving the car could only blink in embarrassment, and comforted the princess, "The Earl's parents are not out of danger yet, the Earl should still be worried... Your Highness, where are we going next?"

"Go back," Daphne said indifferently, "In this situation, everything I do will easily attract criticism."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The maid responded softly.

Yang Ming turned his head and glanced a few times, making sure that Daphne hadn't followed, he let out a long sigh of relief.

I hope this princess will be more sensible and stop entangled with him.

He has played out his bitter tricks to this point, and soon he will resolutely resign and withdraw from the political circle of Emperor Star, so there should be no gossip.

In other words, the emperor's expression is very reassuring.

After Yang Ming returned to the hotel, he sat quietly in the hotel lobby, put the communicator aside and waited for news.

About ten minutes later, Major General Clion led several young officers, appeared in front of Yang Ming, and saluted Yang Ming in unison.

"Earl Handon! Next, we will report to you on the rescue work of your family."

"We have detected a commercial transport ship at the coordinates given by the kidnappers, and we have mobilized the nearest combat unit to provide full support!"

"Earl Hanton, the other party is a group of vicious and well-trained robbers. We even suspect that this may be the special forces of some countries... Although this is not logical, the intuition of the soldiers tells us that your parents are relatively safe. It should be guaranteed.”

Yang Ming nodded slowly: "Excuse me, please sit down."

Major General Clion finally felt fragility, anxiety, helplessness and other emotions in this young man in his early twenties before him.

Originally, the impression Yang Ming gave him was that he was extremely confident, maintaining a strong aura all the time, an elite soldier who could faint a whole ship with a single word of disagreement.

"Sit down and pay attention to the contact signal."

Major General Clion turned his head and gave some instructions, and these young officers sat aside rather restrainedly.

A few waiters came and brought tea and drinks, and they were quite discerning.

Yang Ming asked, "Are you sure it was done by the New Federation?"

"At this stage, we are more suspicious of the new federation, and we don't rule out the fact that there are forces in the country that will unite with the new federation."

Major General Clion said in a low voice:

"In terms of motive and purpose, the New Federation is the highest suspect, but after the case happened, the New Federation actively contacted our Foreign Affairs Bureau and Military Intelligence Bureau.

"They sent us strong and direct signals, even painstaking explanations, that they did not take any degree of military action against the Empire.

"From a macro point of view, the new Federation has just suffered the double disaster of the imperial expedition and the massacre of high-level insects, and the domestic people have not yet stabilized. It is indeed unlikely to take such a radical retaliation.

"This matter may have been done by other countries, intending to use the empire's fist to smash the new federation to death, so as to cause both the empire and the new federation to suffer, so as to give up some high-quality resources."

Yang Ming nodded: "In other words, it's impossible to find out who did it?"

A young officer said: "The performance of their warships is comparable to the elite fleet of the Emperor Star Circle...the opponent is well-organized and extremely mobile..."

"Yes, we can't find out who did it for the time being," Major General Clion sighed, "However, the truth will definitely come to light one day, and the current stage is to ensure the safety of your parents."

Yang Ming didn't say much.

He leaned forward, picked up a can of drink and put it back, lowered his head and sighed, rubbed his face with his hands, and sat there quietly covering his face.

Someone on the side took this picture, and it became a hot map circulated on the Internet inside and outside Emperor Star.

Major General Clion said in a low voice: "The three highest-ranking commanders have resigned, and there is a vacancy in the seat of the highest-level twelve-member meeting of the military department. It is estimated that it will take several months to regain stability."

Yang Ming said in a low voice: "Several generals have been implicated."

"You don't have to feel guilty about this. The former supreme commander asked me to express my condolences to you. This kidnapping case exposed a huge flaw in the local defense system. However, several military departments have tried to improve and make up for this flaw. Insufficient and in trouble."

Major General Clion sighed.

Yang Ming asked back: "Isn't the military expenditure of the empire always sufficient? And it is not disclosed to the public."

Major General Clion said in a low voice: "Theoretically, it is sufficient, but with the periodic economic decline and population decline of the empire's local administration, there will be corresponding vacancies in local military expenditures."

Yang Ming asked, "Why did the military department tell me this?"

Major General Clion approached Yang Ming and said in a low voice:

"Although the three commanders have resigned, they will enter the military think tank, but they just don't appear in front of His Majesty, so they have little influence.

"The Ministry of Military Affairs means that... the general lack of military expenditures of the local defense forces is due to the flaws in the local military expenditure system. It is a very common phenomenon that the private fleets of the nobles devour the military expenditures of the second-line regular army.

"If you can investigate this issue, it will have a great positive effect on the empire."

Yang Ming almost laughed angrily.

Before Hanton's parents were rescued, the military began to discuss with Hanton how to do business.

While discussing here, a young officer brought a communication device.

Two stinger ships that Yang Ming was very familiar with appeared on the projection screen, figures in thin spacesuits flew out of the stinger ships, and launched an assault on the forward transport ship.

It is also a 'coincidence'.

The last transport ship arranged by the robbers was within the mission area of ​​Captain Catherine. The Stinger rushed over in one jump. The jump landing point was very close to the transport ship, and arrived at the target point in more than ten minutes.

Catherine took the lead with the ship-chopping knife, her eyes behind the golden mask were full of coldness.

When she saw the movement of cutting the hatch, Yang Ming broke into a cold sweat secretly.

Captain Catherine, without the shackles of her ideological imprint, became more and more violent.

...

[Super-Reformer Assault Squad successfully carried out the rescue, and the hero's parents escaped safely. 】

[Catherine, the captain of the overhauler team, is the girlfriend of the white ghost. There are no kidnappers at the scene, only a few mechanical guards that have spontaneously ignited their positronic brains. 】

[Can the great majesty who has been insulted still accommodate the imperial hero who is eager to save his parents? 】

[The hero of the empire also has an ordinary side, he must save his parents. 】

Yang Ming gently swipe General Kleon's network access terminal with his fingers. ——Through the military interface, it is connected to the unified network of the entire empire.

The entire territory network, which was originally lifeless, seems to have exploded today.

The heat of the kidnapping case still hasn't subsided. The video clip of the white ghost insulting the emperor has been edited into countless versions and circulated wildly on the Internet inside and outside the empire.

The public opinion in the empire was better, and they all said that they 'understand the white ghost' and 'hope that the white ghost will not be punished by His Majesty the Emperor'.

It is almost impossible to look directly at the overseas network.

The name Myron Sherman has become the subject of discussion among many fun people, and the word "big idiot" has also become a hot search term in many galactic countries.

The impact of this incident was far-reaching, far beyond Yang Ming's imagination.

The emperor has always maintained a mystery, which is actually a national policy of the Sherman Empire.

When the emperor steps down from the high platform, the deterrent power of the imperial power will be greatly reduced, not to mention that now, the white ghost directly insults, and the emperor of the empire takes the initiative to show his love for the people like a son, giving people the impression that he is just an amiable old man next door.

The people's long-standing fear of imperial power has been greatly released.

When Yang Ming and Lu formulated this plan, they actually considered how to make the emperor voluntarily give up the butcher knife of the white ghost.

Yang Ming exchanged his current title and bright future for a free body.

Of course, the effect of this plan has already been achieved, Yang Ming can then express his apology to His Majesty the Emperor, and then pack up and leave the Emperor Star.

The most brilliant part of this plan is the handling of His Majesty's psychology.

If it were an opponent like Director Ino, Yang Ming would definitely think twice, but the emperor in front of him, the emperor who takes pleasure in tossing the empire, is not a very outstanding politician in itself.

Isn't the rule of the Sherman family that a mediocre man should be the emperor.

Now, the deal is done and the emperor is on the verge of riding a tiger. Not only is it impossible for Yang Ming to have an accident, but he also wants to express condolences and care to Yang Ming in every possible way, and to play out Renjun's drama to the end.

In the next half a day, relevant news rushed to the hot searches throughout the empire.

News related to 'big idiot' has become the most popular term in various social software and online communication groups.

The administrative stars of the empire have issued policies one after another, asking the common people not to discuss it. This actually adds fuel to the flames, making the people who did not pay attention to the kidnapping of the parents of the heroes of the empire pay attention to the climax of the whole incident——

'The emperor is a big fool. '

The kidnapping case also has a new name.

[The case of humiliating the emperor and kidnapping].

The power of the Sherman family finally began to exert its strength, and public opinion began to guide in the direction of "His Majesty's benevolence", and emphasized the earthquake caused by the military department for this case, so as to restore the emperor's majesty.

The next day, Hanton's parents were received by Emperor Star, and His Majesty the Emperor personally received them and made a global broadcast.

This well-maintained couple was received by His Majesty the Emperor just after falling asleep in a coma. They were also rewarded with a manor, a few servants, and special allowances from the Emperor Star.

This couple is equivalent to being trapped in Emperor Star as hostages.

In the second half of the broadcast, there was a picture of the white ghost Hanton, the hero of the empire, reuniting with his family.

Yang Ming appeared in the camera, thanking His Majesty the Great Emperor for his contributions, the military department and the elders' house for their efforts to save his parents, and every citizen of the empire who paid attention to and cared for his family.

He then announced that he had not suffered any threats or coercion, voluntarily resigned from all current positions, and was willing to return the imperial title.

He explained solemnly to a group of reporters:

"Insulting His Majesty is a felony I committed, which is a slander to the glory of the empire. Although it was a last choice made under such circumstances, I still deeply regret this choice.

"I thought a lot last night and read a lot of public opinion on the Internet. Of course, these public opinions will not shake my belief, but I have to reflect on my previous past.

"Corrupt officials and nobles who oppress the people, foreign hostile forces, human natural enemies space Zerg, were my enemies in the past, and will be my enemies in the future. I want to return to the original white ghost, and I want to develop and improve people's lives for the empire. contribute my effort.

"Between life and death, I obtained this power far beyond ordinary reformed fighters, and I will definitely use this power to protect the glory of the empire."

"Earl Handon, do you really want to resign from all positions and give up this hard-won title?"

"Yes, I insulted His Majesty. Although Your Majesty is magnanimous, this is my self-punishment."

Yang Ming said seriously:

"I will give up my specially approved territory and honorary title, and give up the rewards I got for fighting those fallen nobles in the past year.

"My parents will live in Emperor Star in the future, which makes me feel at ease, and my roots will also be here, but I will return to the white ghost a few years ago."

The reporters looked at each other.

The answer Yang Ming gave was totally different from the questions they had prepared in advance.

They were called to celebrate the virtues of the Emperor of the Empire, not to attend the farewell council of the White Ghost.

But obviously, this is a better news breaking point.

The reporters swarmed up and began to ask questions continuously, and the questions gradually became sharper.

Yang Ming would answer some questions at first, but in the end he just lowered his head and pursed his lips, his face was gloomy, as if he was under tremendous pressure.

In the palace, the emperor watching the broadcast couldn't laugh or cry, but he didn't say much, crossed out the broadcast, and began to appreciate the controlled public opinion on the Internet.

Especially seeing how these people praised him for his wisdom and martial arts in different ways.

False imperial public opinion floats on the surface:

Praise posts on major portals.

The real imperial opinion lurks underground:

'What a fool! Ha ha! You are a big idiot! '

'You pay attention, be careful that the secret army will arrest you and punish you for the crime of stupidity. '

'It's hard to say that this is not the true expression of Mr. Ghost! '

‘I love Mr. Phantom more and more, family is the most important thing! '

The sales of genuine peripherals of White Ghost ushered in a new hot period.

After the broadcast ended, several guards sent by the noble court appeared in front of Yang Ming.

Yang Ming explained a few words to Han Dun's parents, so that the two elders don't have to worry too much, and left with the guards.

Rarely, Yang Ming took a prison car and was escorted to a giant transport ship in space, where he was investigated by the Elder's Court and the noble court.

The reasons for the investigation, one was to verbally insult His Majesty the Emperor, and the other was to preach that he would withdraw his noble honor, which was not allowed by the imperial law.

Yang Ming had expected this.

But what Yang Ming didn't expect was that within half an hour after he arrived at the giant ship of the noble court, his badge of the knight of the imperial guard was withdrawn.

Now, he no longer has the right to freely enter and leave the palace.

This shows that the emperor acquiesced in his departure.

The overall success of the plan, now it is time to wait for the follow-up processing results and how much benefit you can earn.

In the relatively luxurious prison room, Yang Ming's expression was gloomy, and he sighed softly in his heart:

'Comfortable. '

However, after being locked up for less than half an hour, Yang Ming, who was lying there counting the stars outside the window, heard light footsteps with his ears trembling slightly.

Very familiar perfume smell.

The corners of Yang Ming's mouth twitched slightly, he quickly adjusted his expression, and continued to put on an old face.
