Chapter 125: 075 Intelligent Machine: Emperor_2
After discovering the secret of the old Emperor, the entire Ilando Star could no longer provide Yang Ming with even a shred of security.
The actual ruler of this Empire was an intelligent machine of unknown origin!
Yang Ming kept reflecting.
Previously, he had indeed thought too simply and idealistically about the political game of this middle-sized country, using the intelligence advantage created by Lyu, he hadn’t treated the ‘native forces’ here as rivals.
This moth plan, besides obtaining important intelligence about the Wind Emperor, also served as a reminder to Yang Ming himself.
“We should be more pragmatic,” Yang Ming said, “We must respect all opponents; if necessary, leave Ilando Star proactively, develop in other Administrative Stars of the Wind, and transform the current political capital… no matter the time, life is the most important.”
Kolev immediately responded, “I completely agree with this!”
“But boss,” Lyu reminded, “if you leave the political center, it would be nearly impossible to gain office, military rank, and prestige quickly. Taking risks is necessary, Lyu insists.”
“If risks can be avoided, we should naturally avoid them; don’t rush, we still have two days before the Sherman Empire’s envoy group arrives.”
Yang Ming said in a deep voice,
“This is our chance to determine the ownership of the intelligent machine in the Imperial Palace.

“Lyu, be ready to evacuate at any time, do not relax at any moment, see if there is anything unusual with the envoy group, if any member of the envoy group secretly contacts the old Emperor, it would prove that this intelligent machine is a tool of the Sherman Empire.
“Investigate again if there were any unusual behaviors during the old Emperor’s coronation or if he made a long visit to the Sherman Empire.
“The Fourth Princess Emilia is twelve years old this year, which means that the old Emperor may have been replaced by an intelligent machine within the last twelve years.
“Of course, things like test tube babies cannot be ruled out.
“If the old Emperor is directly controlled by the Sherman Empire, we must warn Edwan and let him find a way to leave this country, and we can only adopt the backup plan as well.”
Kolev wondered, “Backup plan? Is it that crazy plan I heard about before?”
“Alright, my old friend, you just focus on getting money and resources,” Yang Ming patted Kolev’s leg, “Find a good project and discuss it with Lyu, she will disburse the funds for you; leave the rest of the worries to me.”
After saying that, Yang Ming got up, walked towards the spiral staircase, and left Kolev’s sight with a light step.
Kolev felt a bit of a headache about it too.
That night, Yang Ming only chatted briefly with Miss Windsor before hurriedly going to sleep.
He had many things to do next and needed to rest well.
Tomorrow he had to meet Edwan and start investigating the forces behind the old Emperor, making preparations for protecting the envoy.
However, what Yang Ming did not expect was.
The intelligent old Emperor entrusted such a sensitive and politically significant task of greeting the envoy group to the newly ‘favored’ Edwan alone.
…
On the day the envoy group arrived.
In Flower Square of Ilando Star City.
Yang Ming looked up and could vaguely see the Sherman Empire’s kilometer-class flagship hovering in low Earth orbit.
Nearby escorts included a dozen warships from the second fleet of the Luofeng Empire.
A hundred-meter-long landing craft detached from the flagship’s rear, smoothly glided into the atmosphere, activated the protective shield, and began to accelerate downwards.
Edwan, standing in front of several rows of guards, clasped his hands behind his back and beckoned with his fingers.
Yang Ming took two slow steps forward, standing half a step away from Edwan, and asked in a low voice:
“Any instructions, your Highness?”
“Don’t worry, the Prince of the Sherman Empire doesn’t eat people,” Edwan muttered quietly, “Later, pay attention, Fremont will arrange for you to change shifts as soon as possible. They want to create a small accident targeting you. Today’s occasion is extremely important.”
Yang Ming clicked his tongue, “You should first worry about yourself, your Highness, the First Prince and the Third Prince are probably going crazy right now.”
“Father let me come alone, indeed it somewhat targets them,” Edwan said helplessly, “Of course, it might also be a way to target me. By the way, did I tell you? There’s been a change in the leader of this envoy group.”
“Hm? Who has it become?”
“Prince Snoopy from the Imperial Clan leads the team, with two Empire Generals and three elders from the Imperial Clan.”
“Wow, the importance level has increased a lot,” Yang Ming responded offhandedly.
He wasn’t really concerned about it.
Yang Ming only cared whether this Sherman Empire’s envoy group would secretly contact the old Emperor, give him some machine oil, tighten some screws, or whatever.
Beep beep beep.
Yang Ming’s watch gently vibrated, he picked it up to take a look, and couldn’t help but frown.
In the morning, he had already agreed with Lyu to avoid proactive contact unless necessary.——God knows if the Sherman Empire’s technical means could detect Lyu’s existence.
This meant that Lyu had discovered an emergency situation now.
Yang Ming looked around and found that the guards in all directions were in a tense state of waiting; in the rear, people holding flowers and balloons, hired with money, were mostly staring at the spaceship descending from the sky.
Taking out a hidden earplug, he pressed it into his left ear and immediately heard Lyu’s report.
“Boss, there’s an escort ship above mixed in with New Federation spies, they seem to want to create some festive fireworks.”
Yang Ming squinted his eyes, quickly made a decision, and tapped on his watch.
[Notify Gudun Mah to ensure the envoy group lands smoothly.]
Other than the New Federation, nobody wants to anger the old lion that is the Sherman Empire.
“Yes, boss.”
Yang Ming was about to remove the earphone, but Lyu spoke again to remind him:
“Also, boss, the Third Prince previously ordered Uli to bury your path to promotion, they have now commenced their plan, intending to cause a minor car accident that will trap the envoy group for a while, creating some panic; they will later manipulate the situation to pin the blame on you.”
The corners of Yang Ming’s mouth twitched lightly.
Damn it!
While he’s trying to maintain the political stability of the Wind Empire, the Third Prince and that Uli go behind his back with dirty tricks!
Do they think he has no temper?
Yang Ming’s fingers tapped swiftly, and he sent a message to Miss Windsor to cover his small move.
[Release the bed photos of General Uli, make it explosive news. Use the name of New Federation agents.]
“No problem, boss, most New Federation agents have already withdrawn from Ilando City, they won’t have time to respond.”
Lyu hummed softly, seemingly hesitating over something, then quickly spoke in Yang Ming’s ear again:
“Boss, assuming the intelligent machine in the Imperial Palace is installed by the Sherman Empire, and the technology generation is somewhat outdated, attempting to control this intelligent machine could be a shortcut for you to quickly achieve your goals. Although it’s extremely risky, it’s very thrilling.”
Yang Ming quickly replied:
[Before gathering sufficient information, don’t rush to make judgments.]
[Now maintain silence. In case of emergency, decide whether to transmit me back to the Feinan after your comprehensive analysis.]
“Understood, boss, Gudun Mah has begun emergency actions, the military high ranks are getting nervous, fearing the Sherman Empire deep down. Commencing silence.”
Yang Ming smiled calmly.
He stopped his small movements and looked up, focusing on the Sherman Empire’s flagship.
A kilometer-class warship.
He wondered when he could get one himself.
A few minutes later, murmurs gradually arose from the crowd behind, Yang Ming faintly heard about General Uli, Royal Guard Army scandal, and didn’t take it to heart.
The landing craft in the sky began to slow down, and the grand symphony resounded across the flower-covered square.
Yang Ming stood there with a smile, like a ceremonial officer.
