Ritsu excitedly reassembled the flow of information and found what had happened in the minutes before the image appeared.

In the box.

Accompanied by a relaxing melody, the second prince hugged and danced with a young woman in an evening dress, looking slightly intoxicated.

The woman's steps were a little chaotic.

To be honest, her usual job is how to sell more drinks, not to be touched by those old perverts before the other party pays the expensive bills, where has she learned the social dance of the aristocracy.

She stepped on the second prince, and the woman who already knew the identity of the second prince lost her face.

"It's okay, hiss...... It doesn't hurt much. ”

The second prince patted her on the shoulder, "That's all for today." ”

He beckoned, and the strong man bodyguard on the side reached out in the pocket of his jacket...... A stack of tips.

The girl who was drinking beside Yang Wei glanced at Yang Wei.

Yang Wei said calmly: "I don't have so much pocket money as Edwin." ”

The girl covered her mouth and chuckled, her face with glamorous makeup flashed with a little light, and in a lazy, slightly hoarse voice, she said in Yang Wei's ear:

"I want a tip, or it can't be a banknote."

She took the initiative to come up.

Yang Wei moved his ass to the side.

"Hey!" The girl grumbled dissatisfiedly.

Yang Wei just squinted and chuckled.

In special periods, it is better to be steady.

Who can be sure that this is not an agent of the new Federation, with some kind of poison on the tip of his tongue?

The second prince on the side was full of disgust, motioned to the guards to give the girl a tip, and scolded with a smile: "Yang Wei, you should learn the etiquette of a gentleman, a gentleman should not refuse a beautiful woman's overtures, she looks good." ”

Yang Wei shrugged: "If she takes out the blood test report fifteen minutes ago in her bag, then I will definitely not be stingy with her saliva, the current world is not good, the agents of the new federation are about to fully capture the star of Ellandor." ”

"Ah, speaking of this ......"

The second prince sighed, raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, retreated from the guards on the side, and sat down on the sofa next to Yang Wei, bearing part of the weight of his body with his elbows.

a sturdy young warrior;

A tall imperial prince;

There was silence in the dimly lit room, staring at the ever-changing images on the projection screen, each thinking about something.

"Yang Wei, are we just messing around like this? It doesn't seem to be bad. ”

The second prince's voice also became a little hoarse.

"Although I knew for a long time that I wouldn't be called by my father to discuss the matter of the Fifth Administrative Star, they really didn't call me...... Alas, there is still some loss. ”

Yang Wei sighed in his heart.

This guy can really endure it.

Recently, the second prince has been dragging him to spend all his time drinking, as if there has been no large-scale rebellion on the Fifth Administrative Star.

"And what do you think of the current situation?" Yang Wei asked calmly.

The second prince pursed his lips: "It took so many years for the new federation to create a volcano, and now the volcano is starting to erupt, that's all." ”

Yang Wei asked again: "Then what does the royal family think of the rebellion of the Fifth Administrative Star?" I'm a little curious. ”

"They all know that the new federation is doing something, but they don't dare to accuse it openly, and the rebellion of the fifth administrative star is already the third time, and it doesn't have much impact on them, and the royal family only wants to put pressure on the military now and let the military clean up this mess as soon as possible."

"What about you? His Royal Highness, the Second Prince of the Falling Wind Empire. ”

The smile on Yang Wei's lips slowly converged, staring at the second prince: "What do you want to do?" I can help you, and now you still have a chance to turn the tables around. Forgive me for being direct, the throne is there, Edwan. ”

"Yang Wei, let's say okay, let's not discuss this topic......"

The handsome face of the second prince began to be a little helpless, and then gradually lost his expression.

Just when Yang Wei felt that he had to stimulate the second prince, the second prince's low murmur penetrated into Yang Wei's ears.

"I don't like this country, Yang Weiling may not believe it, but I do not like this motherland called Luofeng.

"Any idea why I was excluded from the Crown Prince's shortlist?

"Because when I was sixteen or seventeen, I pointed at my father's nose and called him a mediocre, a dictator, an incompetent puppet, a coward of a single-surname clan. I advocate the enactment of a constitution, the amendment of laws, the repudiation of the emperor's dictatorship, the surrender of the state to the citizens, and the complete replacement of the imperial power with a cabinet, while our imperial family only does symbolic purposes and distributes resources to the citizens of our country as much as possible.

"Then I was locked up by my father, and I was only served the most basic nutritious meals a day, and I was hungry for about three months."

"You gave in?" Yang Wei asked.

The second prince shrugged: "I committed suicide...... Of course, it will almost certainly be rescued. I was desperate, and I, the original first choice for the crown prince, was kicked out by my father after that. ”

Yang Wei looked into the eyes of the second prince: "What about now?" Do you still stand by your claims? ”

"I don't have any claims right now, I just want to make money, use the resources of the royal family to earn the most coins...... I don't know where the road is. I understood my father, but I still can't forgive him for what he did to this country. ”

The second prince's voice became deeper:

"A minister told me on his deathbed that I was a replica of my father's youth, with a grand plan, but he couldn't recognize the situation in front of him, and in the end I could only hit my head and bleed.

"There is no real freedom in my country.

"We have chains around our necks, and the owner of the chain can pull us into the abyss at any time.

"This is the third time I've seen images of the rebels, and I've seen them galloping through that low city without any hindrance. For the third time, I'm wondering if they represent the will of our country. Even if they are coerced by the new federation, do they really represent the will of the people? If the Fallen Winds want to abandon their emperor, why can't we go along with their ideas?

There was silence in the box for a while.

The second prince raised his hand and patted Yang Wei's knee, and said with a smile: "Don't talk about these unhappy things, I believe they will solve it smoothly, let's sing another song, and we should pray for them!" ”

"So you chose to give up your own country?" Yang Wei asked.

The second prince shrugged: "This is not giving up, this is giving them back their freedom." ”

"Freedom itself is a false proposition, Edward."

Yang Wei said in a deep voice:

"If you think the answer given by the new federation is what you want, then I have nothing to say, but why don't you look at the small and medium-sized countries that the new federation has transformed?

"The economy has regressed in three to five years, high-quality capital has been sold cheaply, national welfare has been forcibly raised, but the productive forces have not developed and are still regressing, patents and technologies are all owned by the new federation, large royalties need to be paid to produce a commodity, currency depreciation, inflation, talent in all industries is quickly absorbed by the new federation, and the right to exploit natural resources is bound by various treaties made by the new federation, until it becomes a blood transfusion bank and garbage dumping ground for the new federation.

"Edward, you understand this.

"True freedom is not a rebellion orchestrated by foreign elites, not at the expense of the right to independent development.

"After the awakening of the national consciousness, the spontaneous revolution is called revolution.

"You're in a position where you can change the fate of this country, so why don't you try? When you reach the pinnacle of power, you can find ways to check and balance Sherman and the new federation, you can implement internal reforms, fight for the right to speak externally, reduce the annual silver, strengthen economic construction, pay attention to education, cultivate talents, and constantly seek development.

"Edward, you have the ability to do this."

"You said so nicely," the second prince sneered, "I didn't expect you to be more preachy than those ministers, haha...... But you have to know that I am not the best in our family, and in the last few hundred years, no one has succeeded, no one, you have not felt the despair of the Sherman Empire. ”

"I've felt it."

The picture of the Imperial Dreadnought smashing the light battleship of the Güell Alliance appeared in front of Yang Wei's eyes, and he muttered:

"But the Sherman Empire is rotten, Edwan."

The second prince was a little stunned, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Becoming the Grand Duke of the Empire is my plan for the future."

Yang Wei's gaze did not shy away.

"At this stage, I have chosen your country, seeking title, fame, status, and power, and I will make my due contribution to your country.

"I don't want to coerce you into doing anything, Edwan, but if necessary, I'll do it.

"I saw that there was going to be unrest here, and the environment here was suitable for the rapid rise of a political amateur like me, so I came here.

"Now, it is in my best interest to stand with you against the interests of the new Federation.

"I'm not here for the slogan, not for the friendship between us that isn't solid, but not for you, I need you to give back to me the power of the Falling Wind Empire."

"The power here?" The second prince was puzzled, "What is the role of the power here besides making money?" I can give you wealth directly. ”

"It's my own business, and it's something I can't share with you right now."

Yang Wei shrugged: "Of course, if you have to give me some material rewards, I won't refuse, I lack everything now." ”

The second prince looked at Yang Wei suspiciously.

"You're in a showdown, aren't you?" The second prince asked in a low voice.

"Sort of," Yang said, "if we don't do something, we will completely lose the initiative." I know what you're secretly running, Edwang, you've established a new intelligence system for Luofeng, relying on your abundant financial support. ”

The second prince's throat trembled slightly, and his smile was a little bleak: "Then what should we do?" ”

"You know, Edwang, you know what we can do."

Yang Wei stared at the second prince.

The second prince shook his head slowly: "No, this won't work...... Revolt will drag this already battered country into the abyss. ”

Yang Wei pressed step by step: "If you don't experience a rebirth, your people and their descendants will not see any hope." ”

The second prince was a little anxious, he raised his hand to cover his forehead, and his body began to feel a little uncomfortable.

It was as if he was back in that claustrophobic cage again.

A small daily supply of light meals and fresh water.

At first, he roared and rushed like a wild beast, but the beast was drained of its strength little by little, and the creature called the father who walked outside the cage killed the last ideal with a cold look.

'You're only going to lead the country into the abyss, Edwan. ’

The second prince suddenly had some difficulty breathing.

He roared, turned his head away from Yang Wei and roared, and a few foul words burst out of his mouth.

Only hideous remained, and a few green tendons popped out of his forehead.

The young man who had slammed into the cage lost his strength, huddled in the corner, whimpering weakly, his eyes full of despair, despair slowly swallowing him like a black mist.

Until a striking blush appeared in front of him, he looked at the wrist that had been cut by the delicate fragments of dishes and chopsticks, and slowly closed his eyes.

'No one can save this country, Edwan, not you, nor me. ’

'The Sherman Empire will not allow us to be independent in any form, you just need to be a good puppet, and that is enough, and you can go through this life in luck and happiness. ’

'Put away your damn hypocrisy, Edwan, no one really cares if anyone else lives or dies, you're just greedy for the good name that has been written into the Chronicles of the Fallen Wind. ’

'Edwan, I'm disappointed in you. ’

"I can't do it."

The second prince raised his head with a pale face, looked at Yang Wei, who was quietly observing him, and smiled bitterly: "You chose the wrong person, Xu." ”

"Stand up."

Yang Wei whispered.

The second prince just frowned and looked at Yang Wei.

"I said, stand up."

Yang Wei's gaze became sharper and sharper.

The second prince's brows furrowed even deeper: "You can't order me, Huh." ”

Yang Wei suddenly stepped forward, grabbed the collar of the second prince, and rudely dragged the middle-aged man in front of him, staring into the eyes of the second prince.

The second prince's breathing almost stopped because of this.

"Answer me now!"

Yang Wei's voice fluctuated significantly: "You want to be a coward for the rest of your life!" Let's fight with me now! ”

Edwan struggled in his eyes, but the glimmer of the struggle quickly dimmed.

"No, I can't do ......"

Yang Wei threw the second prince off the sofa.

"I'm sorry, my friend," Yang Wei laughed and turned away, "I may have scared you, but I'm really worried about the current situation." I'm going to do a new plan, and I'll see you tomorrow. ”

He was about to leave, and turned his head to look at the second prince, with a strong disappointment in his eyes.

"Yang Wei ......"

The second prince subconsciously shouted.

He suddenly had a strong premonition.

If he let Yang Wei go now, he may never see this guy again in the future.

Yang Hao paused: "Huh? ”

"Give me some motivation," the second prince whispered, "Is that okay?" Try to motivate me, I don't have any confidence to face those two superpowers right now......"

Yang Wei thought for more than ten seconds, and he said slowly:

"When I opened my eyes to the world, I had nothing, but now, I have the strength to fight in the face of fate, and I can plan to save my family step by step. You've started much better than I did, Edwan.

"This filthy galaxy is an endless abyss.

"Power, desire, human nature, betrayal, wealth, fame, we are all trapped in this and constantly struggling, the development of science and technology can not hide the ugliness of human nature, technology instead builds a strong barrier, making it more and more difficult for the weak to challenge the strong.

"The difference is whether you choose to sink or you choose to grab the rope and climb up.

"Don't you want to see what it's like when you get out of the abyss?"

Yang Wei stretched out his right hand to him.

"Don't think about your country, the emperor is not qualified to represent the will of the country. I'm asking you, coward, are you going to challenge the mighty new Federation together? ”

At this moment, in Edwang Yue's eyes, Yang Wei's whole person seemed to glow with a faint light.

It's really faint though.
