Chapter 126: 076 The Real Opponent

The Sherman Empire Diplomatic Mission was not domineering or condescending.

From the princes, elders, generals, to the maids, guards, and low-ranking officers, everyone was courteous, adhering to noble etiquette in their words and actions, showing great respect to Edwan and the citizens of the Wind Empire.

This might be a tactic by a powerful empire to win people’s hearts.

— Yang Ming analyzed this.

Yang Ming did not deliberately seek to stand out, calmly accompanying Edwan as his trusted guard.

When the Sherman Mission entered the long convoy, Edwan named Yang Ming to ride with him, while the other captains and vice-captains of the fourth group were responsible for directing the team.

Ding.

Gained the aura: “Protection of the Second Prince.”

At this moment, Yang Ming sat in the passenger seat of the extended hover car, his eyes scanning all directions vigilantly.

Edwan sat facing the old prince of the Sherman Empire, exchanging greetings heavily adorned with embellishments.

The only topic that intrigued Yang Ming was when the old prince of Sherman mentioned Edwan’s earlier performance.

“Alas,” the prince sighed, “I never expected, in the most critical moment, it was the Second Highness who chose to fully trust the Sherman family. This is truly our honor.”

Edwan paused momentarily, then responded with a smile, “The Sherman Empire has always provided great help to our country and is a protector of our family. That choice was only natural.”

The prince chuckled a few times, then said in a slow voice,

“The principle of Sherman has always been that if our friends treat us sincerely, the people of Sherman will repay our friends with even greater sincerity.

“And you, Prince Edwan, the report from the Foreign Affairs Seventh Bureau mentioned that you possess a clever mind and excellent vision, developing commerce in both the great empire and the inferior federation to give back to your country. This is a very courageous act.

“However, I think you can increase the focus of your investments towards us. I brought a deputy minister from the Ministry of Commerce who will discuss these matters with you later.”

“Wow, this is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” Edwan marveled, “The Empire has always been watching us, I am deeply moved by this.”

“Yes,” the prince smiled warmly, “We simply do not wish to compete with the New Federation in terms of deceit and despicableness. When the situation undergoes some upheaval, the invincible fleet of the Empire will firmly stand behind its allies. You understand what I mean, nephew Edwan.”

Edwan nodded with a smile, a bright shine in his eyes.

However, Yang Ming estimated that this prince was undoubtedly cursing in his heart.

The Foreign Affairs Seventh Bureau of the Sherman Empire was a department specifically responsible for managing relations with vassal states.

Yang Ming pondered continuously in his heart.

In his mind, visions of the throne, the old emperor sitting silently, and the cold gaze of the other party always appeared.

The conversation between the old prince and Edwan continued, but the content turned dull and monotonous, filled with perfunctory compliments.

They traveled unobstructed to the large ‘interchange bridge’ outside the Imperial Palace, heading straight to the front courtyard of the palace. When the palace opened a layer of its defense energy shield, Yang Ming’s escort mission came to a smooth conclusion.

There was no accident at all.

Yang Ming did not participate in the following welcome banquet.

He wandered into General Fremont’s command and dispatch center, sat in a corner, listened to the news for a while, and roughly understood what had happened.

First, the military caught New Federation spies and thwarted a New Federation plot.

Second, the police received advance information and arrested several members of the rebels planning to attack the diplomatic motorcade, thereby protecting this extremely important mission group.

Third, General Uli was invited by the Royal Court to assist in an investigation due to a scandal.

Fourth, at this moment, the Third Prince at the welcome banquet had already arranged for personnel to suppress online public opinion and clear Uli’s scandal.

Beautiful.

All the news was related to Little Lyu.

“Captain Yang Ming?”

A warm, thick voice came from ahead.

Yang Ming immediately looked up and saw the tall, somewhat balding, glasses-wearing Royal Guard Army officer, Fremont.

General Fremont waved lightly, and Yang Ming immediately stood up, jogging to the side of the main command platform.
