Passing smoothly

It was only Daphne who came.

This made Yang Ming somewhat uneasy in his heart.

He originally thought that Director Ino would show up at this moment, and the series of rhetoric he had prepared before could only be rearranged at this moment.

The alloy door, which seemed to Yang Ming to be as thin as paper, slowly opened, and Daphne, who was wearing a fluffy long skirt, a hat and a scarf, nodded to Yang Ming with a smile.

Two maids guarded the door, Daphne entered alone, and the alloy door slowly closed.

Yang Ming showed a tired face, fastened the top two buttons of his shirt, and looked up at the beautiful princess.

"I didn't expect to meet here."

Yang Ming shook his head and smiled.

Daphne bowed gracefully, then sat down at the corner table and said softly: "I didn't expect that Uncle Ino would specifically send me a message and ask me to come here to see you."

"Director Ino?"

Yang Ming frowned slightly: "Does he have any instructions?"

Daphne smiled sweetly: "My uncle said that he did not expect that you would reject the Sherman family's kindness in this way."

She is cheating.

Yang Ming's first reaction was to smile bitterly: "The director should know his capabilities better than anyone else. I care about this opportunity very much."

"But you were very resistant before," Daphne's ice-blue eyes seemed to be able to speak, revealing a little cunning. "It's useless to say this now. Father gave up the sharp sword You, and the Empire

The hero sadly passed away."

Yang Ming asked: "Your Highness is here just to make fun of me?"

"Of course not," Daphne said, "Uncle asked me to come over and ask you a few questions."

Yang Ming nodded: "Ask."

"These questions will affect your future. I must remind you to think carefully before answering."

Daphne's every move seemed to have been trained by the palace etiquette officer, including her raising her hands to take off her earrings.

The two light blue earrings flickered faintly after she pinched them a few times.

"From now on, our conversations will be recorded by these two devices.

"In order to prevent us from hurting each other with the rest of our conversation, please choose an earring to keep with you as our mutual secret.

"If you can't trust me, I can let them get your watch."

Yang Ming shook his head and smiled: "Your Highness, you are joking. How could I not trust you? I just...want my personal equipment more now."

Daphne nodded politely, turned around and walked out the door.

After being delayed for two minutes, Yang Ming slowly put on the watch that had been checked several times and took the earring on the left to hand.

"Your Highness, what do you want to ask?"

"It's a question from my uncle," Daphne said. "He is investigating your possible connections with foreign forces."

Yang Ming frowned slightly.

Daphne said:

"My uncle said that there were two problems that he couldn't figure out. The first problem was the timing. The timing of the kidnapping was too clever, especially when the royal family began to hype up the scandal between you and me, and a series of incidents suddenly appeared in the empire.

Public opinion against white ghosts.

"My uncle asked me, who in the current empire likes to play with public opinion the most?

"My answer is White Ghost."

"What does this mean?" Yang Ming frowned, "You mean, I sent someone to scold myself?"

"My uncle asked me the same question at the time," Daphne smiled elegantly and gently, "but my uncle told me that he couldn't find your motive for doing this. You should be extremely eager for this opportunity. This

It is a very important responsibility for you, unless..."

Yang Ming narrowed his eyes slightly.

Daphne smiled and said: "Unless, while investing in the empire, you also invest in other powerful countries, the New Federation, the Free United States, the Guel Alliance, or several other countries ranked among the top ten in terms of national power."

Yang Ming shrugged: "That's a little too high of me."

"My uncle also thinks it's unlikely. You don't have enough time. He has also researched suspicious objects in the top ten countries and found no politicians who are similar to you and have suddenly emerged."

Daphne paused for a moment, with a little doubt in her eyes:

"I don't quite understand what my uncle said, can you help me clarify it?"

Yang Ming muttered for a few times: "This is confidential, Your Highness Daphne. I will consider whether to answer you after you finish asking me the second question."

"I could actually ask my uncle."

Daphne smiled softly:

"My uncle asked you the second question. You shouldn't have cared so much about Hanton's parents, but you insulted the emperor because of this couple.

"You know His Majesty the Emperor. He will be very open-minded in front of all the people, but he will also be jealous of you. This is the worst moment he has not had in the past hundred years. This will make him nervous. Whenever he sees you, he will

Thinking of those three words, you simply lost the opportunity to develop in Emperor Star.

"Why?

"The above are my uncle's exact words. I actually don't agree with his evaluation of my father."

Yang Ming rubbed his eyebrows and whispered: "The director should know the answer to this question, why do you have to ask me again?"

"Uncle wants to hear your answer."

Yang Ming's thoughts started to change rapidly.

In front of him and on the recording equipment, Daphne said that her father was neurotic and petty.

This is actually a sign of sincerity. She will ensure that this recording does not spread.

But after Yang Ming carefully considered it, he still pressed the hidden button on the watch.

A few weak electric arcs flashed, and white smoke emitted from the two earrings on the table, the button on Daphne's chest, and the hairpin hidden in her long hair.

Daphne asked with a smile: "Why?"

"I think your uncle didn't ask you to record. You just wanted to have more leverage over me," Yang Ming said with a smile, "Now we can talk openly and honestly."

Daphne opened her hands: "Won't you search my body?"

"No, I'm confident in my gadget."

Yang Ming tapped his fingers on the dial a few times, and a shielding belt wrapped the two of them.

Yang Ming said: "I didn't have many thoughts in my mind at the time. Yes, I have great respect for my parents, but compared to my responsibilities, I can indeed sacrifice them."

The corners of Daphne's eyebrows twitched slightly, but she remained polite and did not interrupt Yang Ming's words.

Yang Ming sighed:

"What I was thinking at the time was that if I chose His Majesty's reputation and sacrificed my parents, my credibility with the people would collapse.

"I care more about what the people think of me, which is also the fundamental reason why His Majesty will reuse me.

"The empire can create more powerful super-modifiers at any time, but there are not many fighting individuals that can be recognized by the people and have the power to deter them with force.

"Public opinion and people's trust are my political foundation. Your Majesty's important use and rewards are just branches that extend from this foundation. If it were you, would you protect your own foundation or this achievement?"

"Foundation," Daphne said softly, "but I may take other methods, such as how to make the people feel that your parents should be sacrificed."

"My parents are also citizens of the empire. Under certain circumstances, they are a group of citizens," Yang Ming said. "This actually hides an equivalent question. When the empire is in crisis, should I, the hero, choose to save the people or the nobles."

Daphne was thoughtful.

Yang Ming said: "The current situation is that His Majesty the Emperor doesn't like me anymore. If my guess is correct, my territory and rewards will still be issued normally, and His Majesty will give me these benefits with great fanfare."

Daphne asked: "Have you never thought that my father can take these back at any time?"

"Yes, he can do that," Yang Ming said, "but as long as my public opinion card doesn't collapse, he won't do it."

Daphne said quickly: "The emperor of the empire can actually not care about the feelings of the people. The solid military power and technological barriers make the possibility of rebellion in the empire almost zero."

"This is not the emperor's idea. His Majesty has been on the throne for decades. What he wants now is very little, such as historical positioning and public recognition."

Yang Ming leaned forward and stared at Daphne:

"Every emperor who wants to be a wise king and leave a name in history will value reputation more than actual benefits.

"Material desire is the lowest pursuit, spiritual satisfaction is the greatest desire. Do you really understand the emperor's desire?"

Daphne was silent for a few seconds, then smiled and said: "In other words, you made the decision after comprehensive consideration?"

"In fact, it was the garbage robbers who scolded the emperor."

"But this is already the most serious loss of imperial deterrence in the empire's modern history."

"Perhaps this is the biggest purpose of the planners," Yang Ming whispered, "Analyzing from this perspective, the deterrent power of the empire is declining, who will benefit the most?"

Daphne whispered: "Great noble? New Federation?"

Yang Ming said: "I don't know, but I have been thinking about a question now, who can meet the industrial base required by those warships."

Daphne nodded slightly: "I will tell your uncle exactly what you said."

"Thanks."

"Why thank you?"

Yang Ming smiled bitterly and said, "You can still be a messenger to prevent Director Ino from completely giving up on me."

"My uncle also had to consider my father's senses, so he didn't come to see you directly," Daphne said. "Can you explain it to me? Why, you urgently need this power."

Yang Ming gently uttered two words: "Secret."

Daphne frowned slightly, but she was still restrained, reserved, and elegant.
