Chapter 356 Secret Skill: Over the Shoulder Throw! [Third Update + Big Cup]
The meeting between Yang Ming and the prince is less than two galaxies away.
In the Lord's Mansion of Saka Star, there were a few more well-dressed old people, including Prince Jinowu, who had stayed here before, and they all appeared here within the past few hours.
They either became lobbyists or came on behalf of so-and-so.
Everyone lowered their stance and asked Yang Ming to step forward and settle the matter and calm the public opinion storm.
They have hidden threats.
For example, cutting off the supply of resources to Saka Star and forcibly increasing the cost of living on Saka Star.
There are also explicit bribes - giving Yang Ming a large amount of resources that he wants, giving various preferential policies to Saka Star, giving Saka Star the most abundant resource equipment, and merging other planet residents who also suffered from insect disasters but struggled to survive into
Saka Star to quickly increase the population of Yang Ming's territory.
Whether it was threats or favors, Yang Ming just nodded with a smile.
He neither spoke nor agreed, and then went to sleep, washed, and changed clothes normally, just like a person who was enjoying himself and staying out of everything.
Ever since Prince Gehari left the Imperial Star, more and more empire bosses have come to negotiate with Yang Ming using projection technology.
But the two people Yang Ming wanted to see the most and least wanted to see did not show up.
Of these two people, one is the Emperor of the Empire and the other is Director Ino.
For these two people, if they ask Yang Ming to calm public opinion, Yang Ming has no reason to refuse and does not have to refuse.
This represents the overt imperial power of the empire, or the elites of the Sherman family who secretly control the empire, bowing their heads to a small earl like him.
Although Yang Ming would not be able to obtain immediate practical benefits in this way, Yang Ming could greatly increase his political influence within the empire.
Yang Ming is also gambling.
He bet that the old emperor was arrogant and had great contempt for the common people, and would not bow down just because of this public opinion offensive.
I am also betting that the Sherman family elites who control the empire are very arrogant and are used to solving problems in their own way.
If something goes wrong with a prince, then abandon him.
Yang Ming even speculated that the Sherman family elite, represented by Director Ino, had already calculated clearly the consequences of all his reactions and had prepared a disposal plan.
To be honest, Yang Ming felt a little scared at the bottom of his heart for this mysterious and powerful Sherman family.
He doesn't have a dreadnought now!
Even if he gets frustrated, Yang Ming still has to persist in doing what needs to be done.
This attack storm and the firepower assistance from external forces gave Yang Ming a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
What should I do if Luofeng and Dark Star have no window for development?
Then he would chisel one out.
Yang Ming glanced at the time on his watch. In one and a half hours, the prince would arrive here.
On the side, 026, with Hanyinhanxiang, set up the panoramic live broadcast tool, and the two maid robots also started cleaning and tidying up the living room.
This live broadcast was suddenly announced by Yang Ming. The nobles, officials, and generals present were not too surprised. After all, White Phantom started out as a live broadcaster.
What they are personally more interested in is how White Ghost can make the live broadcast here spread widely within the empire.
The biggest mystery about White Ghost actually lies in his almost omnipotent ‘network ability’.
Law is fully prepared.
The new federal CIA and intelligence organizations of various countries provide traffic interfaces for "free".
White Ghost's fan sites crashed one after another and were repaired one after another. The computing power and storage of the originally prepared server group were no longer enough, so Ritsu had to invade the official server of the empire, and faced the risk of being expelled at any time.
When it comes to theory, Yang Ming is also very curious.
She never stood up to quell the turmoil.
If Li takes action, on the basis of crushing computing power and resources, Li plus ten CIAs will not be able to make even the slightest splash in the imperial network world.
‘Can Li actually think for himself?’
'The examiner's reasoning is gradually being unblocked, and the empire's top powers are experiencing abnormal changes in power, both in the Council of Elders and the Military Department...'
‘Is Ritsu helping me? Why is she helping me? Because of Ritsu’s existence? Or is it because I created the Dark Star and she thinks I’m one of her own?’
One question after another arose in Yang Ming's heart.
"Hanton," Daphne's voice sounded nearby.
Yang Ming looked up and saw that the princess had returned to normal, and whispered to Yang Ming: "Can you come over and talk?"
"Is there still a need to talk?"
Yang Ming responded with a smile.
Daphne bit her lip slightly, and then showed off her trump card - pitiful Chu Chu.
Yang Ming chose to ignore it.
There were many eyes inside and outside the door. Daphne lowered her head and walked away, going to a seat in the corner to sit down. Her mental state obviously declined.
She hasn't rested for a long time.
Amidst the buzz, Yang Ming opened his watch and took a look, and found that it was a text message from Catherine, asking him if there was any problem here. Yang Ming replied with a smiling emoticon.
Although the current situation is unclear and Yang Ming is walking on thin ice, he still has to be optimistic enough in front of his girlfriend to avoid her worry.
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?"
"Uh-huh," Yang Ming smiled, glanced at no one around him, and said slowly, "Sometimes, it's not that we lack the motivation to resist, but that we lack the consciousness to resist. We are completely controlled. You can never become theirs.
Only beings of the same kind that cannot be controlled are qualified to be their partners."
Daphne frowned slightly.
Yang Ming has lowered his head and focused on the game interface.
Daphne returned to her seat, and Captain Gris stretched himself, yawned and wandered over. He looked down at Yang Ming, who played a game for a while.
"You also have areas that you are not good at," Gris said casually, "Can I ask, how are you going to end up doing live broadcasts and building momentum now?"
"Look at the performance of His Royal Highness."
Yang Ming said leisurely: "How do you think today will end?"
"Well, I can't figure it out. There are so many mysteries surrounding you. It's really a miracle that the empire can tolerate you until now and hasn't dragged you over for anatomy."
Yang Ming explained simply: "One big factor is that the real elites of the empire dare not offend the people above me."
"Who is above you?"
"High-dimensional civilization," Yang Ming glanced at Gris, "Do you think that humans can complete the fusion of ancient god genes and primitive human genes at this stage? It's just an experimental project."
"experimental project……"
Gris couldn't help but raise his hand to his forehead.
Yang Ming smiled and said: "This is my confidence."
"Okay," Gris coughed, "No matter what, if you want to take action later, don't kill him. After all, he is still the second in line to succeed."
"Am I such a rude person? This is not a bug," Yang Ming said calmly, "I still have to consider the people of Sakaar. Don't worry about it blindly. I know it well."
"Understood."
Gris breathed a sigh of relief, walked away with his hands behind his back, and began to send messages to his boss and a dozen elites in the Skywrath Fortress.
What is a highlight moment?
He, Gris, is now the first-hand source of information for the entire family in the Skywrath Fortress. The Iceberg Goddess, who usually ignored him, now takes the initiative to join his friends in group chats.
This is his highlight moment.
Time moved forward, the formation entered the port, and the prince was about to arrive on the surface in half an hour.
Yang Ming played the little game more and more enthusiastically.
The countdown to White Ghost's network-wide live broadcast has begun, and hundreds of thousands of live broadcast rooms are ready, and the live broadcast will start five minutes before the meeting.
…
Daphne quietly stared at Yang Ming's profile.
She actually didn't understand it.
Why would such a person suddenly appear, who despises the imperial nobility, ignores the rules of the empire, uses various unimaginable means to break down the barriers between classes, and yet is still safe and sound?
Is it because of his absolute physical strength?
Or is it because of other factors?
The hierarchy of the empire has always been strict. Daphne has experienced this strictness. From the time she was young, her mother took a large amount of illegal drugs every day because of her own depression in order to obtain escape and pleasure.
Daphne initially did not understand her mother's position in the palace.
Later she learned what the nobles' loyal gifts to the royal family were, and why after her mother died of organ failure due to an overdose of drugs, her grandfather's family spent a huge amount of property and used various methods to maintain her position in the palace and let her
She must grow up in the palace.
The imperial power is like a black hole, the nobility is like a star system attracted by the gravity of the black hole, and the common people and slaves are just the accretion disk around the black hole, waiting for the fate of being swallowed by the black hole.
When she is in the palace, her mother's family can maintain influence and earn more power and benefits through this influence.
'You can never be like them.'
Yang Ming's voice seemed to have some kind of sleep-inducing magic power. Daphne yawned sleepily, leaned back in the chair and closed her eyes to take a nap.
She seemed to have had 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, stared at 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 to have met a pretty good princess, who taught her with all her heart;
She was also unfortunate, because all the hypocrisy was done to win her father's favor, and she became the new mother's political capital in the court.
she……
"Your Highness, Your Highness?"
Daphne opened her eyes as if she was electrocuted.
The maid on the side whispered: "Prince Gehari has arrived outside the lord's mansion."
Daphne immediately stood up, subconsciously covering her chest and looking down at the elegant dress she had prepared earlier.
Her expression returned from a moment of confusion to her usual calmness, and then quickly changed to tiredness and sadness. With her hands in front of her belly, she led the maid towards the sun-soaked door.
Yang Ming was standing at the door with his hands behind his back. There were more than ten photography floating balls inside and outside the door.
Many nobles were waiting in the courtyard. Daphne also walked past Yang Ming, went to a relatively conspicuous corner, and stared at the door.
Two teams of guards in gorgeous uniforms entered the already crowded courtyard, forming two human walls and standing face to face.
Music sounded outside the door, and the two luxury hover 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 was quietly waiting for the climax of the music to come. The guard who was responsible for opening the door was also counting the seconds for the 'perfect timing' that His Highness said.
"Hanton!"
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 warmly, "I am conducting a live broadcast, and the live broadcast has now spread all over the empire."
"Well, I know," Lieutenant General Thomas whispered, "His Majesty the Great Emperor, ordered His Highness Prince Gehari to come to Saka Star to carry out pacification work. Unfortunately, your territory has suffered such a vicious gas attack.
incident, the Imperial Military Department expresses its deep condolences for the victims."
Yang Ming sighed and whispered:
"I have already 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 find out, provide irrefutable evidence, and then repay them ten times or a hundred times.
"My territory does not allow any evil forces to invade. It has been plagued by insects and has 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 enjoy peace and shelter.
"
"Yes," Lieutenant General Thomas said seriously, "We will definitely provide all-round protection here."
"But Lieutenant General Thomas!"
Yang Ming's eyes became sharp:
"I am not afraid of external forces. The empire's powerful army is the best support for the people, but I am unable to guard against the filth and sneakiness within the territory!
"During the concert, the comprehensive supply ship on which Her Highness Daphne was riding opened fire with full force and carried out precise strikes on thousands of people in the empire, including Her Highness Daphne! If I hadn't been on guard, I would have parked my warship
There, the consequences would be unimaginable!
"The damage caused by poison gas bombs is far less than this shelling! If there are more riots and stampedes at the scene, it will brew an even greater disaster!"
Lieutenant General Thomas muttered a few times: "Hanton, we will definitely pursue this matter to the end!"
"I'm close to the truth of the matter," Yang Ming whispered. "I didn't harm those officers. I just used the general simulated surgery and simulated case handling methods to collect and organize their memory data."
Thomas finally said immediately: "A viscount and two honorary earls have committed suicide out of 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 of disrupting the concert? Just to cause trouble for me, they made such a huge sacrifice and even committed suicide. They
Is your character in some aspects beyond the understanding of ordinary human nature?"
Lieutenant General Thomas frowned and looked at Yang Ming.
Yang Ming's eyes were clear, and he and Thomas finally looked at each other.
"Now the whole empire is paying attention to this matter," Thomas said. "We have noticed that there are many foreign forces instigating behind the scenes to try to intensify class conflicts within the empire. This behavior is extremely shameful. We should now let
We are acting with the goal of restoring calm to public opinion in the empire, and the investigation of the matter will never stop.”
"I'm sorry, 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 are your rules?"
"To be a hero of the empire," Yang Ming raised his head slightly, "A hero should stand before the weak, before justice, be fearless, and pursue the real truth!"
Thomas said firmly: "The truth will only be late for up to half a day!"
Yang Ming said: "But if this attention is lost, and the people's silent support and solidarity in various ways are lost at this moment, will the person behind it really get the punishment they deserve? The people's right to know, this
This kind of thing may not be appropriate to mention 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!"
"Hanton!"
"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 want to stop me, please let the Imperial Noble Court arrest me on the spot for sedition!"
Thomas sighed: "Hanton, you are a hero of the empire, and the military is proud of you. How could you..."
"Incitement?"
Suddenly a chuckle came from behind.
It was the chuckle that came from the loudspeaker of the luxury hover car.
The car door opened, the orchestra's music reached its climax, and the guards on both sides simultaneously activated and raised their decorative golden lightsabers, adding a layer of soft golden light to the entire courtyard.
The tall and handsome prince entered with a smile, and his voice continued to float throughout the courtyard through the directional capture device in the car.
"I didn't expect that Earl Hanton would have such a clear understanding of his mistakes."
Many old people in the venue frowned subconsciously.
Gris, who was standing at the best viewing spot on the balcony on the second floor, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and reveal a playful smile.
Prince Gehari moved forward calmly, but his buttons and watch were obviously trigger-type light shield generators. After taking a few steps, he stopped at a distance and looked up at Yang Ming.
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten the basic etiquette of nobles?"
Yang Ming frowned slightly and glanced at Lieutenant General Thomas.
Lieutenant General Thomas' facial muscles were trembling slightly, but he still said gently: "This is the prince who was appointed by your Majesty to appease the people."
He made the four words of appeasing the people very clear.
But the prince at the door, who had promised him to lower his profile before, turned a deaf ear.
Now, 6% of the empire's population is actively or passively watching this live broadcast through various methods.
And if this live broadcast causes bigger news, its video materials will be spread wildly throughout the entire empire network and delivered to the eyes of most of the empire's people.
Yang Ming: Could this guy be trying to cause trouble?
Gehali: Now is the best time to promote the majesty of imperial power and reverse the bad impression you have on your father!
"Earl of Hanton!" Gehari's eyes sharpened, "Shouldn't you salute me?"
Most of the nobles in the courtyard had already saluted once before, but now, a few old 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 Gehari calmly.
"Did you give the order to fire?"
Gehari looked speechless: "I don't know what you are talking about."
"Really," Yang Ming said calmly, "There is a senior judge of the noble court here. I would like to ask what the crime is for deliberately murdering thousands of people and the imperial princess."
The courtyard is extremely quiet.
The sun shines on the vines and is gently touched by the breeze.
"ha."
Prince Gehari suddenly laughed: "Please ask the senior judge to answer our count'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 whispered: "Your Highness, you are rude to the prince and disrespectful to your superiors. You need to be warned and fined. In serious cases, you can be detained for self-reflection."
Prince Gehari raised his head and looked at Yang Ming.
Yang Ming asked: "Don't you want to answer my question?"
The middle-aged man said: "This, deliberately murdering thousands of people and the imperial princess, the maximum penalty of the Noble Code and the Civil Code shall apply... In view of the fact that the planner of this matter has committed suicide in fear of crime, the persons responsible for this matter will be those
The officer who ordered the cannon fire does not apply to the aristocratic code and should be punished with... the death penalty."
Yang Ming's voice was a little cold: "The main messenger is at large, but a few of the frontmen are sentenced to death. Is that so?"
Someone on the side immediately said: "Earl of 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 reflect on it," an old man snorted, "Why do the two honorary earls with such a bright future want to retaliate against you at all costs? Why don't they retaliate against others? They are the ones who have brought disaster to Sakaar.
, isn’t it the same Your Excellency who is usually arrogant and domineering and acts wantonly?”
Phew, have you started licking now?
Yang Ming looked down and saw that most of the people in the courtyard were facing him.
They are together.
Yang Ming knew from the beginning that these guys were all in the same group, and it was not unusual for him to stand decisively in front of Prince Gehari.
Lieutenant General Thomas tried to smooth things over: "Let's go in and talk, Hanton. Please invite His Royal Highness in."
Yang Ming still wanted to give Thomas this face, but His Royal Highness the Prince at the door smiled and said: "No need, Earl Hanton doesn't seem to welcome me."
"Yes," Yang Ming's thoughts changed quickly and he said calmly, "I suspect that His Highness is the main messenger behind this, so I am hostile to His Highness."
"Please don't talk nonsense if there is no evidence."
Prince Gehari said with a smile, his left hand in his trouser pocket, with a warm smile on his face:
"Daphne is my most beloved sister. How could I bear to have her hurt? Mr. Ghost, you launched the live broadcast with such great fanfare and spread it widely within the empire, trying to intensify contradictions and create conflicts. This charge of incitement seems to be
It can be implemented.”
"Yeah?"
Yang Ming suddenly laughed and asked slowly: "How should I be sentenced for incitement?"
The middle-aged man immediately said: "It depends on the situation. Generally, the starting sentence is five years' imprisonment, with no upper limit."
"This charge is really scary, but fortunately, you don't have any evidence," Yang Ming said with a smile, "Then, is there any clear record in the Noble Code that if two nobles fight and cause some flesh injuries, what should be done?"
"Fights and fights are mainly about mediation."
"The one who was beaten is the second in line to the throne?"
"This, this..."
The middle-aged man looked up at Yang Ming, his expression changed: "This is a serious crime that must be imprisoned. Lord Earl, please don't mess around!"
"Am I messing around? What's wrong with me?"
Yang Ming spread his hands and strolled down the steps: "What did I do?"
"Hanton!" Lieutenant General Thomas realized that something was not right and took two steps forward to catch up, but his movements suddenly stopped.
A shock wave suddenly burst out from Yang Ming's forehead.
The ordinary people at the scene were all dizzy and unsteady on their feet, but they did not feel the violent impact, but were just a little confused.
A very gentle mental distraction.
However, Prince Gehari's condition was slightly more serious. His figure was shaky and he was about to fall after taking two steps back, but he felt his arm being held by a big hand.
The prince's watch flashed brightly, and a soft light film enveloped the outline of his figure.
"Hey," Yang Ming's voice penetrated into Prince Gehari's ears.
Prince Gehari looked up and saw Yang Ming's smiling face, several floating photography balls, and the somewhat dazzling starlight.
"you you……"
"Unfortunately, I have no evidence to prove that you ordered this operation," Yang Ming sighed.
Gehari was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he felt the big hand holding his arm suddenly become stronger.
He felt as if the world was spinning before his eyes, and his body was like a tattered bag being pulled up, over this guy's shoulder, and slammed downwards.
There was a dull thud.
Although Gehari was protected by a shield, his brain was still shocked and he almost fainted.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have had any illusions about you."
Yang Ming slowly squatted down, his palms slowly came close to Gehari's eyes, and he said warmly:
"Your Highness, when I find conclusive evidence, I will personally deliver you to the Supreme Court of Nobles on the 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 were useless at all.
"Your wise and great Majesty, how could you have an heir like you? You are such an embarrassment to the royal family."
After saying that, Yang Ming gently patted Gehari's cheek, casually crushed Gehari's watch, took off his button, and said with a smile: "If I want to do harm to His Highness, a protective device like yours should be used
It’s of no use.”
A guard from the side rushed up with a horrified expression.
Yang Ming did not resist and left the prince's side on his own initiative; the guards who tried to get close to him were bounced away by the red light film around him.
"Your Honor," Yang Ming turned around and said, "Take me to your court boat. I just had some physical conflict with His Royal Highness. Is this considered a serious fight?"
The judge's Adam's apple was trembling. He was about to nod, but then 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 realized that although Yang Ming's actions were outrageous, they were also very well-measured. They not only diverted the public's anger to the prince, but he did not compromise with the royal family.
Gehari was helped up by the guards. He looked at Yang Ming's back unsteadily. He was about to curse angrily, but when he saw those floating shadow balls, he immediately suppressed his anger and swiped lightly.
Sweep the dust.
"You are so rude, Lord Hamton."
The corners of Yang Ming's mouth twitched slightly.
This guy is not without merit.
"Brother!"
Daphne's voice suddenly came from behind, and Gehari turned his head and looked over, immediately showing a warm smile, seemingly no longer feeling embarrassed.
Daphne walked forward quickly.
Gehari immediately opened his arms, and if he hadn't been a little dizzy, he would have walked straight up.
"Oh, Daphne, it's great that you're okay. You were frightened, right? I'll take you back to the Emperor Star to recuperate..."
Snapped!
A crisp sound sounded on Gehari's cheek.
Because he was still dizzy, Gehari didn't feel much pain, but he felt the force and turned his head to the side after being hit.
His eyes widened, and he stood there in astonishment.
However, before he could react, he felt a sharp pain in his lower body. Daphne, who was wearing an elegant long dress, raised and lowered her right leg, leaving a heavy snort at Gehari.
"Daphne...how dare you...oh!"
Gehari knelt down with his legs together.
Daphne walked around him and walked behind Yang Ming on her glass slippers.
"Judge, I also participated in the fight, please count me in jail."
Yang Ming blinked: "You are using my traffic again."
"Really?" Daphne crossed her arms, "I just expressed my dissatisfaction with an unscrupulous brother."
Yang Ming:……
Mud, he originally planned to take advantage of this wave of wounds that tore the empire, and put himself in prison for a period of time, so that Lu would not implicate him when he carried out the assassination plan, and then hold some demonstrations after the storm subsided.
Let the empire release him.
What a great move to kill three birds with one stone, to defeat Chen Cang secretly.
Why has it suddenly changed now?
This is in front of the entire empire’s audience!
In the barrage at this moment, there must be hundreds of millions of 'knock's' floating by!
Yang Ming asked: "You won't share a cell with me, right?"
Daphne pursed her lips and glanced at him, her expression slightly disgusted.
