Walk alone in the abyss

A suspension vehicle with a military plate left the mountain villa area, harvesting the straight-line distance between this place and the main city ahead with an efficiency close to the speed of sound.

From a distance, the city's high-rise buildings seem to poke directly into the sky, and in order to accommodate more people, the city has an average extension of more than 500 meters.

Sometimes human society is just so weird.

Obviously there are so many beautiful places on the outskirts of the city, but they are struggling to go to the core area of ​​the city, even if they go to heaven and earth for this.

Yang Ming crossed his legs and looked at himself in the projection mirror. He was dressed in a neat little suit, and the short hair that had just been washed stood up one by one, so clean that his scalp seemed to be handsome and unrestrained.

Today's gathering is to make good friends with a few imperial nobles.

Star Yaha is now almost becoming his second base camp. After walking out of Star Saka, Hui Saka made his fortune here, and the white ghost also took off his mask here and grasped the olive branch thrown by the empire.

It may be because of a change in mentality, the big rock called the Valkyrie floating above his head has finally removed more than half of it, and now Yang Ming has subconsciously started to appreciate the scenery outside the window.

The planetary ring is like a movable cage, trapping this beautiful planet.

The mountains, seas, lakes and sky seem to maintain their original colors, but in fact they are beautiful scenery planned by human beings with almost endless energy.

Yang Ming glanced at the empty seat beside him.

Catherine didn't want to go to the noble banquet, and even told Yang Ming with a straight face:

‘I know how depraved and corrupt the nobles of the empire are, and I understand your current situation. You are different from ordinary reformers. You must gain a firm foothold in the political circle of the empire.

'But I don't want you to associate with those dirty women.

‘If during our relationship, you have intimate contact with other women, the kind of contact I mean, then you can tell me directly, and we can resume the relationship of ordinary friends.

'You fulfilled all my fantasies about being in love, but I am destined not to be someone else's partner. I have my own mission. '

mission……

Yang Ming scratched his forehead, sat in the comfortable chair and fell into deep thought.

Isn't he, a little overwhelmed by his girlfriend.

That's not right, you see that Windsor is fine now, after a successful study in the New Federation, he returned to Luofeng and joined the Ministry of Finance. With "My Father of the Chancellor of the Exchequer", he successfully became a star in the department.

But Hera...

When Yang Ming was meditating these two days, Hera's helpless and empty eyes always appeared in front of his eyes.

It was as if they had returned to Hera's messy villa home, back to the vacation when they hit it off and dared to challenge the new federal secret base.

Yang Ming knocked on his watch, and opened the text chat with Lu.

——Lyue still doesn't dare to go deep into the Emperor Star circle. Chatting with text is the way to reduce information transmission and minimize the possibility of being invaded.

'How is Hera now? '

Law: 'The research work is still going on. '

‘If there is a chance, bring her back on the grounds that she needs supplies. Let me enlighten her more. The organic ingredients on board are always limited. '

'Understood, boss. Here is a list of some of the nobles who will attend the banquet. I can only collect information through their social networks, and the collection is not comprehensive. Among them, there are about four people who can make friends...'

Law quickly entered the working state, and Yang Ming carefully looked at the list.

The continuous improvement of his mental strength has greatly improved his shorthand ability. Although he is not as good-looking as Bligh, it is not a problem to remember this information.

There was actually a grand duke, three earls, and two countesses attending the banquet tonight...

"Are all the great nobles of the empire so idle?"

‘No, boss, these are all nobles from outside the Yaha planet. They flew over in the past two days. It is estimated that Atero deliberately leaked the news. He has a very wide network in the noble circle. '

Yang Ming shook his head and smiled.

This Atero, the enemy’s intelligence cannot be obtained, and there are a lot of aristocratic intelligence, so why not set up an aristocratic gossip department in the Military Intelligence Bureau. Lieutenant Colonel Attero must be very competent as the director of this department.

Towering buildings passed quickly outside the window.

Yang Ming began to close his eyes and rest his mind, adjusting his state.

Having seen the hard party of the imperial emperor, he is also quite interested in the social etiquette of these nobles.

...

New Federation, Minter City extraterrestrial.

A medium-sized transport ship slowly arrived at the temporary inspection port and was applying for entry.

Representative Alison stood in front of the porthole, watching the wreckage of the battleship floating near the synchronous orbit, and couldn't help sighing softly.

"Boss."

A young man in the back bowed his head and said:

"The meeting time of the parliament has been confirmed. It is this afternoon. Almost all the members who left Minter City have returned. You are not the latest group."

"Oh," Alison's face seemed to have aged a few years overnight, "Empire, the most powerful empire, the strongest white ghost, isn't this a bit unfair?"

The young man didn't speak, just lowered his head and sighed.

Alison frowned tightly: "I put all my bets here, but when a strong enemy comes, this place is so fragile and unbearable. The Empire's Invincible Fleet, the high-level insect swarm outside of human civilization, What will be next?"

"Boss," the young man muttered nervously, "To be honest, our home planet may not be a big deal to a regime like the New Federation and the Sherman Empire."

"Our home planet... yes, our home star is still waiting."

Alison laughed dumbfounded when he thought of the content of the thought stamp he had set.

These guys don't know at all that their home planet, their motherland, is actually this planet in front of them.

However, Alison's entire organization is based on this concept, and now everyone in the organization is willing to sacrifice themselves for his home planet.

"The new federation is still there." Alison regained his composure and regained his spirits, "The empire's strategy is either to fight a war of annihilation, or to teach the new federation a lesson, which instead creates more conditions for us. "

"Yes, boss, this time I will definitely take the opportunity to clean up some old people in the political party."

"Don't be so blunt."

Alison said with a frown, took out a soft handkerchief from his jacket pocket, and gently wiped the corner of his mouth.

"We just help the party to complete the metabolism so that the party maintains sufficient vitality."

"Right, that is it."

Alison looked at the planet outside the window, a sharp light flashed across his eyes.

White ghost, why do you appear every time.

...

Luofeng Empire, Imperial Palace.

Edwan was sitting on his office chair, snoring intermittently.

Two maids and ministers with beautiful makeup are sorting out the documents that Edwan has instructed to see if there are any missing areas.

This dormitory was also divided into an office area by Edwang, and there was a long conference table not far away, which was one of the fixed places where Edwan discussed state affairs with ministers on weekdays.

The door of the dormitory was pushed open a gap, and Emilia, who was wearing ponytails, looked over, gently pushed the door open, and beckoned several maids who were carrying lunch to enter together.

Emilia asked in a breathy voice: "How long has Brother Huang slept?"

"It's been a long time," the courtier next to him responded in a low voice, "Come and wake up your majesty, eat something and go to bed, we dare not disturb your majesty."

"Is he usually so strict with you?"

"Your Majesty is generous and tolerant, but the rules in the palace still have to be observed... We don't want to lose this high-paying job."

Obviously, these two maids are quite familiar with Emilia, and they were mostly joking when they talked.

Emilia tiptoed to Edwan's back, opened her hands to scare Edwan, then had a flash of inspiration, and squeezed her throat and said:

"Your Majesty! Earl Yang Ming, please see me!"

"Um?"

Edwan immediately jumped up, his eyes burst out with a sharp light.

"Let him in... don't let him wait outside in the future, are you new here and don't know the rules?"

With a snort, Emilia couldn't help laughing out loud, and the maids also smiled sweetly.

"You're kidding! Earl Yang Ming is a busy man, how could he have time to visit us!"

"You," Edwan shook his head, "it's okay, don't joke about such a big thing, if he comes back suddenly, it must be something big."

Emilia smiled and said, "Didn't he just come back for a vacation?"

"And then? What happened? A full-scale war between the Empire and the New Federation, and the city of Minter almost fell."

Edwan stretched his waist, looked at the delicious food on the table, and immediately showed a satisfied smile.

He casually opened the projection screen on the side, and there were some industrial-related data sliding in it, and Edwan carefully reviewed it bit by bit.

"Brother Huang! You have white hair!"

Emilia scratched Edwan's head, pointed to a few graying hairs, and complained:

"You're not married yet! Are you not getting enough nutrition recently? Did you not eat on time, or didn't you sleep again?"

"I've been busy recently," Edwan yawned, "Go down and rest, I'll call you after eating."

The maids bowed and saluted, bowed their heads and left quickly.

Edwan opened the protective device near the desk, chewing a piece of delicious and juicy barbecue in his mouth, covering his neck with his palm, moving gently.

Edwan asked: "How about what you were asked to do?"

"The princess will go out in person, of course there will be no problem," Emilia said with a smile, "I have already cleared the patents of those two companies, and the personnel have also completed re-employment. After leaving the empty shell, you can continue to transfer assets in the new federation with capital injection later!"

Edwane smiled.

This matter itself is not important, it is just to give Emilia something to do, to exercise this guy who has started to be lazy on weekdays.

He asked with a straight face: "Well, do you need to be rewarded for letting you do such a complicated thing?"

"Brother Huang, just spend more time with me!"

Emilia pressed Edwan's shoulders, leaned over to the side, and looked at Edwan's table full of delicious food, as if she suddenly had something on her mind, and she was a little lost in thought.

Edwan asked: "What's the matter? Want to travel again?"

Emilia stood up straight and folded her arms: "It suddenly occurred to me that this conflict between the New Federation and the Empire will have his shadow behind it."

"Yang Ming? It's unlikely."

Edwan sighed:

"You underestimate the Sherman Empire, and you overestimate him.

"No matter how strong an individual is, it is actually not worth mentioning in front of the national power of this powerful country. He is now just a knife, a knife in the hands of the imperial power, nobles, and military.

"To be honest, if he can't take advantage of this opportunity as soon as possible to stabilize in the domestic political environment of the Sherman Empire, find his own position, and find a faction he can attach to, then he will lose the opportunity to enter the center of the empire's power. .

"And don't forget, the center of power in the empire itself is huge. If you want to count the princes and old princesses, they are all centers of power in the empire."

Emilia muttered to herself: "Brother, what do you mean, he needs to change from a knife to a person holding a knife?"

"good."

"Will he not think of this?" Emilia asked worriedly, "Should we remind him? After all, he was born as a soldier, so his thinking may not be too complicated."

"Don't interfere, let him handle it himself."

Edwan smiled and shook his head:

"Emilia, our Luofeng is too small, his ideals and vision are too lofty, if he can't be frustrated, it is impossible for him to come back.

"I understand your thoughts, your brother, and I will not interfere or obstruct you.

"But there is only one thing you must remember."

"I, I don't have any thoughts," Emilia turned her head and looked aside, the corners of her mouth bulging slightly, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm not yet an adult."

Edwan couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead: "I'm really careless, but you took down the photo of the ten-square-meter ceiling in your bedroom!"

"No! I spent a lot of money to have a master artist paint it!"

"Who in the palace doesn't know that you have a crush on Yang Ming!"

"Bah! I hang a picture of my spiritual mentor in my own bedroom, is there a problem!"

Emilia flicked her head, her ponytails swaying slightly:

"Who dares to talk nonsense that I deduct their salary! Do your own work and ignore you! I gave you food with good intentions, but you run on me, that is the light of my life! Do you understand the light!"

Edwan couldn't help raising his hand to his forehead, sat on the chair and groaned a few times, then continued to look at various reports while filling his stomach.

The King of Luofeng Ming, conscientious and conscientious, walked on thin ice, for the ideal in his heart, he forgot to sleep and eat, day and night, his belt gradually became wider and he never regretted it, and he was haggard for Yixiao.

And a certain Luofeng Dark King... Zhengshuang.

...

"My lord, you can't drink too much. Get up and drink. Don't think that you can lie on the table at the age of ninety-eight."

"Ma'am, please be respectful. There are a lot of people here. I have a girlfriend."

"Why is the music gone, keep playing, keep dancing."

In the Yaha star circle of the Sherman Empire, in a magnificent banquet hall with a height of more than 20 meters, Yang Ming calmly sat at the head of the banquet, looking at the table full of drunk nobles, he couldn't help laughing twice. Voice.

Who gave these guys the courage to compete with the life forms of the ancient gods.

Not to mention the wine brewed from this kind of organic matter, even if it is a chemically synthesized nerve release agent, he won't get drunk if he soaks it in it!

On the dance floor, more than a dozen beautiful men and women continued to dance to the music. This is the dance troupe invited tonight.

Today it was said to be a banquet, but in fact it was a group of nobles who invited Yang Ming, a popular fried chicken in the aristocratic circle, to have a meal with Yang Ming, and to win the relationship with Yang Ming. Apart from the pleasantries, they were just chatting, which was very boring.

The 'instigator' of the meal, Attero, was sitting crookedly on the sofa at the moment, turning his head and retching from time to time.

He really didn't expect that Yang Ming could really drink.

Not only can you drink, but you can also create a set of persuading etiquette after another.

Yang Ming walked up to Lieutenant Colonel Atro with his hands behind his back, and said with a smile, "Are you still awake?"

"When... of course... hiccup!"

Yang Ming patted the middle-aged man's shoulder, and said in a warm voice: "I've already paid the fee, I'll be here today, and I'll arrange their accommodation when I wake up later, I'll go back first if there's nothing else to do."

Atro yelled indistinctly: "Why, oh, why are you paying... This is my serious dereliction of duty, no, dereliction of duty, I dereliction of duty! According to the rules you set, I will punish myself, three cups of punishment !"

Yang Ming smiled, got up and was about to leave.

thump!

The orchestra in the corner suddenly changed, and the light in the entire hall gradually dimmed.

Yang Ming frowned slightly, and instantly drove away the trace of drunkenness, looking to the left and right vigilantly.

The dance floor was brightly lit.

The dance troupe on the dance floor actually set up a 'peacock spread' shape, and there seemed to be a figure shaking slightly inside it.

Also, repertoire?

Yang Ming raised his hand and rubbed the tip of his nose, his gaze swept everywhere, his alertness was already full.

The orchestra began to play passionately, the musical notes were like wild horses running wild, and in the middle of the dance floor, male and female dancers danced a dance similar to "tap", the rhythm was very clear, and it was really enjoyable to watch.

Yang Ming calmly took out the network access terminal, and couldn't help but want to take a picture of Catherine.

However, just as he turned on the ambient recording mode, the group of dancers suddenly left the stage, leaving only a tall and straight figure on the dance floor. A beam of spotlights hit this figure, and the rest of the dancers became this person's foil.

what's the situation?

This is the native product that Atro said? But this doesn't look like a girl, does she?

This buttocks can be compared with Edwan...

The rhythm of the orchestra became soothing again, and the man who had always turned his back to Yang Ming began to dance lightly.

This dancing posture, one can say that it is really good, it combines rigidity and softness, and has profound artistic attainments.

Just when Yang Ming felt that this was a simple dance show, the man in the middle of the dance floor turned around, with a red flower in his mouth, and knelt down on one knee in the direction of Yang Ming, pushed by several dancers He stepped down, leaning on the small wheel under his body, and rushed towards Yang Ming quickly.

"Oh! The great white ghost! Please receive from the Lasoga family!"

Yang Ming picked up an empty wine bottle, casually shook out the cracks in the structure of the bottle, controlled the strength of his strike, and threw it directly at the coquettish man in front of him.

Wow——

The orchestra in the corner finally stopped playing, more than a dozen performers stared at this side, and the group of dancers turned pale with shock.

Yang Ming looked at the young aristocrat with pouting buttocks and rubbing cheeks in front of him, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, he turned his head and walked towards the gate of the banquet hall.

Made!

There are dirty things.

In Lil's thinking space, Li Zheng was covering her stomach and leaning forward and back laughing, but with a smile, she suddenly remembered something and hurried to check her memo.

Uh, it seems, it seems, probably, she forgot to tell the boss about the young nobleman's deeds!

We were all comrades-in-arms before.
