Chapter 63: Chapter 50 The Choice of the Royal Family

"Abundant Martial Virtue."

The Emperor finished writing the four large characters and placed the pen aside.

Two attendants silently bowed and entered, taking away the Four Treasures of the Study and this line of characters to prepare for related matters.

From this moment, Wu Xiaode was officially debuting.

He was the first artist of the "Abundant Martial Virtue" film and entertainment company.

"Little Wu," the Emperor said kindly, "why did you declare your feelings for Jun Yu at the Capital University sports field?"

"I felt a sense of danger at that time," Wu Xiaode said.

"Danger?" the Emperor repeated.

"Yes, someone like me is very sensitive to danger," Wu Xiaode said.

—Your ancestors must be weeping in heaven.

Of course, this must not be said, and indeed, there is no need to say it. As long as one investigates Li Zheng’s case diligently, a conclusion will certainly be reached.

"You did well, very well," the Emperor praised, "I see you practice Iron Wire Fist. How would you like a pair of Fist gloves as a reward?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Wu Xiaode bowed with his fist.

"Do you have any other skills?" the Emperor asked.

"I have also dabbled in Saber Skill," Wu Xiaode said.

"Good," the Emperor said cheerfully, "many skills do not burden one, I shall bestow upon you a saber as well."

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Wu Xiaode gratefully accepted.

It’s best when there are items to be had.

Over the years, the Royal collections, except for cakes, have been first-rate in terms of weapons and armor.

And he happened to need a saber!

Seeing his joy, the Emperor also smiled and said, "This is what you deserve. Jun Yu has not had friends for a long time. You helped him and became his friend, which pleases me greatly."

"Zhibing, the items have been chosen; take him to retrieve them."

"Yes," the young girl standing to the side said, eyes lowered.

She stepped forward, gestured gracefully, and Wu Xiaode followed her out of the great hall.

They walked one after the other through the long corridor leading to the Royal treasury.

The girl suddenly spoke, "I am Jun Yu’s sister, Zhao Zhibing."

"Pleased to meet Your Highness," Wu Xiaode said.

"No need for such formalities," the young girl said without turning her head, "you saved Jun Yu and rode atop the bone dragon, causing a commotion, and helped my father through a difficult time. I should thank you."

"The Emperor made it through a difficult time? What does that have to do with the bone dragon? If I shouldn’t ask, then just ignore my question," Wu Xiaode asked.

"In recent years, the country’s various powers have all been delegated; my father hardly intervenes, keeping only the last vestige of power," Zhao Zhibing said.

"The books say it is information power," Wu Xiaode said thoughtlessly.

"The central intelligence gathers all information power, all of it in the hands of our Imperial Family, and this has long been a source of dissatisfaction for many," Zhao Zhibing said.

"Why are they dissatisfied?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Whatever anyone does, the central intelligence knows, and so does the Emperor. Wouldn’t that make them uneasy?" Zhao Zhibing said.

"That’s true; the algorithms of the central intelligence are so powerful; a single thread can lead to the revelation of many things, let alone now that everyone depends on the network," Wu Xiaode remarked.

Zhao Zhibing spoke with a downcast mood, "Seven years ago, my father experienced an assassination attempt. Since then, he’s been unwell. With the recent appearance of skeletons at sea, unrest in various places, and humans awakening their Soul Power, capable of traveling to another world, disaster strikes frequently. He has to connect to the central intelligence often, bearing the brunt of endless streams of information."

"Why not focus on healing?" Wu Xiaode asked, puzzled.

Zhao Zhibing said, "To give up information power is to give up the Imperial power. If there is a national crisis, and the Imperial Family cannot react timely, it would be catastrophic."

Wu Xiaode sighed.

He remembered a Prime Minister from ancient times, who, exhausted from dealing with state affairs, sweated profusely.

—Who would have thought being the Emperor was even harder?

"When the bone dragon appeared, faced with something completely undocumented, the central intelligence started insanely calculating and learning. The panic spread far and wide, and as my father was connected to the intelligence, he was hit every second with its computational impact, forced to make various decisions..."

"What does that feel like?" Wu Xiaode said.

"Only the Emperor knows. Do you want to know?" Zhao Zhibing said.

"Never mind," Wu Xiaode quickly said.

But he thought to himself for a moment.

Receiving the inheritance of Iron Wire Fist had also caused his brain to suffer a sharp pain.

It was because too much information was received at once, and his neural pathways could hardly cope.

It was probably the same for the Emperor.

As a common person, and one whose body was still injured and not fully recovered, enduring such shocks constantly was decidedly unbearable.

Zhao Zhibing stopped, turned, and looked back at him.

"Thanks to your live feed on the back of the bone dragon, the central intelligence classified it as a product of technology and stopped its calculations, allowing my father to pull through."

"Therefore, we owe you our thanks."

Wu Xiaode suddenly remembered Xiao Baihong’s words:

"Ha ha ha, you find it funny too, right? So do I. Who knows what these big shots are up to? They’re probably spreading fear. You know, humans reveal their truest, vilest nature when they’re afraid, don’t they?"

Wu Xiaode murmured softly, "So that’s how it is..."

An emergency message had popped up on his phone at the time.

"The whole country is entering a state of war!"

"The military command has submitted a proposal, requesting the Royal directive for the central intelligence to decentralize authority, to enhance all citizens’ right to know and to be armed."

They were talking about the right to know, but in fact, it was about information power!

That’s it!

After the Emperor’s power weakened, they targeted Zhao Junyu for assassination and, following their failure, released the bone dragon, hoping to seize powers while the Emperor struggled to withstand the central intelligence’s onslaught!
