Demon's Self-cultivation

In the end, Mandel successfully boarded the ship with Jojo and set off to return home.After all, even if he was unwilling, King Leman did not dare to use force blatantly, and seized it in private without any trace, but he couldn't do it anyway.

——Even, not only could it not be done, but the military strength displayed by the Kingdom of Kaynton made him feel extremely terrified as if he was facing a big enemy.

If it was the former Kingdom of Kyndon, King Manley would not have worried that the other party would start a war because of a little "personal" friction and dispute. After all, it would be harmful rather than beneficial to both countries.But seeing the Kingdom of Kyington, whose military strength had improved qualitatively, King Manley suddenly had a bad premonition—a premonition that war was approaching and rain was about to come.

After Mandel left angrily, other guests also realized that something was wrong and left one after another.An unprecedentedly grand birthday party was quickly emptied, leaving only a mess.

At the same time, the enmity between the Kingdom of Manlai and the Kingdom of Kaington quickly radiated from the two countries, not only occupying the headlines in the United Federation, but also paying attention to China, Europe and the United States.

In desperation, King Manlai had no choice but to prepare for the war secretly while trying to find out the truth of the incident and ease Mandel's anger towards the Kingdom of Manlai.But the bad thing was that no matter how he searched, he couldn't find any evidence in favor of Elvira, and even some clues were vaguely pointing at this aloof princess.

King Manlai was so anxious that he couldn't sleep all night. He even called Elvira in front of him and tried to persuade her to explain the truth. When he couldn't get a satisfactory answer, he scolded her and even beat her up hard. daughter slap in the face.

——King Manlai didn't really believe that his daughter did all this, he just wanted to find a way to vent his anger and impatience, and Elvira who was involved in the incident happened to be his anger The goal.

However, even beating and scolding Elvira couldn't solve the current predicament.Seeing Avella, who was holding her swollen cheeks and crying so hard, but still biting her wronged, King Manlai sat on the throne and sighed dejectedly.

If Elvira is indeed innocent, things get even worse.Because, this means that this incident is not a personal grievance, but a complete frame-up and conspiracy.

The blamer may be his own political enemy—after all, although he has been on the throne for decades, there are still anti-government forces in the country that are eyeing him; If the kingdom goes to war, there must be many people who will be happy to see it; and likewise, there may be Mandel himself.

Although King Manlai felt that it would be impossible for Mandel to take risks with Jojo given how much he loved him, but who knows if this love is just an illusion for them?And all of this was directed and acted by Mandel himself?

The more he thought about it, the more King Manlai felt his whole body dripping with cold sweat.It's a pity that no matter how thoroughly he thought about it, he was still at a loss for what to do about the current situation.

And there is an old saying that "misfortunes never come singly". Just as King Manley was busy rebuilding the old relationship with the Kingdom of Kyington like a headless chicken, several scandals about the royal family and important officials in the Kingdom of Manley broke out in the Kingdom of Manley— —After the secret agents of the Kingdom of Kyinton worked overtime day and night, the black information transmitted by Jojo finally came into play.

There was already an uproar in the Kingdom of Manlai because of Princess Avella's scandal, and now the government's "glorious image" has been splashed with several pots of sewage, which has made the entire public opinion turbulent.

The Manlai government reacted quickly. The government spokesperson issued an announcement, hoping that the public will remain rational, not be swayed by rumors on the Internet, be alert to framing by enemies of other countries, and maintain confidence and support for their government.

However, even so, the Manley government could not contain the panic in the country.

——After all, all the black material that broke out on the Internet is clear and clear, and there are many "real hammers" such as photos and videos that have been identified as not fake.Rather than chasing rumors, more people are more willing to believe that it is true.

For the senior officials and members of the royal family whose scandals were exposed, the people demanded that the government verify and punish them as soon as possible, but the Manlai government did not have the courage to shake the foundation of the entire government at once.After all, the large-scale removal and replacement of high-ranking officials will inevitably lead to functional vacancies and political turmoil, and new officials will need a period of familiarization before they can successfully adapt to their positions and develop their talents.

——But now, unknown enemies are eyeing up, always looking for an opportunity to swallow the Manlai Kingdom, and the Manlai Kingdom really has no time for the old and new officials to go through this running-in period.

It's a pity that the people of Manlai don't buy into the government's scruples.Unlike the Kingdom of Kaington, which has undergone two coups, the Kingdom of Manlai has been at peace for more than 100 years, and the people’s memory of the war has long been forgotten. Little things" start a war.

In their view, the Manley government's concern about war is nothing more than an attempt to cover up those powerful and well-established moths of the country, trying to divert the people's attention from the domestic government through external unwarranted conflicts, and temporarily delaying the war.

Of course, the doubts of the people of Manlai towards the government did not happen overnight. As early as when Mandel included the King of Manlai in his own strategic territory, he had already begun to subtly guide the hearts of the people of the Kingdom of Manlai.

In his early years, King Manlai could be regarded as a conservative king, but the longer he sat on the throne, the more he was corrupted by power and wealth, he became stupid and arrogant, and he inevitably made some unwise decisions.These decisions change the country slowly, and some ills will gradually appear after more than ten years or even decades, and because the changes are so subtle, most people will not clearly realize that their country is going downhill .

——However, if there is a country next to this country that is more and more brilliant like a rising sun, the situation is completely different.

Unlike King Manlai, who is conservative, lacks courage, and always compromises with the old nobles in the country, Mandel, who has just ascended the throne, is deeply stimulated by Jojo and ambitious to climb higher. The ministers are even more merciless.

In the first two years of his accession to the throne, Mandel devoted himself to a major shake-up of his government, replacing the old ministers who served the conspirators with trusted and more talented newcomers, and at the same time worked hard to learn how to be a qualified king.Two years later, after securing the throne and discussing with his think tanks a way out suitable for his own country, Mandel withstood the pressure from all sides and started drastic reforms to improve Kaynton in every way. comprehensive national strength and improve people's living standards.

Mandel has such a high popular support rate in the country because the people feel the benefits of the reform.They believe that their new king can lead their country further and make them live better, so no matter what the king wants to do, the people will trust and support his decision.

The Kingdom of Kyndon and the Kingdom of Manlai are neighboring countries, and there is not much information gap between them due to the distance.Under the deliberate propaganda of the Mandel government, the people of the Kingdom of Manlai also learned that the income and social benefits of the people of the Kingdom of Kyrington are better than that of a year.

It would be fine if the Kingdom of Kyndon had always been far superior to itself, but it was obvious that the living standards of the people between the two countries were not much different. Now that the neighboring countries are getting stronger and stronger, and the people are becoming more and more prosperous and happy, the Kingdom of Manlai The public obviously cannot achieve psychological balance.

One is slowly going downhill, while the other is advancing with high singing. The contrast between the decline and the rise is too tragic.

Long before the government's various scandals broke out, the people of Manly had a lot of complaints about their government, and once the veil of corruption covered by the Manly government was lifted, the people of Manly, who had been secretly showing off in the Kingdom of Keington The mentality suddenly collapsed, and the Manlai government quickly fell into the quagmire of a crisis of confidence.

——Once your people no longer trust you, no matter how good a politician you are, you can only sigh.

Compared with the Manlai Kingdom, which was completely defeated in the war of public opinion and the hearts of the people were scattered, the voices in the Kaynton Kingdom were much more harmonious and unified.

Although no ceremony was held, Jojo is already a well-deserved and well-loved "Queen" in the hearts of the people of the Kaynton Kingdom. After all, the changes he brought to the Kaynton Kingdom are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"Queen" not only represents a person or a title, but also represents the honor and dignity of the entire Kaynton Kingdom.His own "queen" encountered calculations in a foreign country and was almost in danger. This undoubtedly threw the face of the Kyington Kingdom on the ground and stepped on it.

Naturally, the people of Kyington would not be happy if their beloved "Queen" was bullied, and the dignity of their own country was trampled on, which made the people even more indignant, and they must seek justice.

Government officials delivered several righteous speeches, and the news media published several righteous reports, which stirred up the emotions of the domestic people.And the Kingdom of Manlai has been ambiguously smoothing out the protests against the Kaington government, refusing to admit its fault, and even less willing to hand over the culprit, which made the people of Kaington extremely indignant.

——Of course, even if the Kingdom of Manley bowed its head and was willing to take the blame on itself, the people of Kyington would probably only be more angry.

After reading the news of the imminent war from government speeches and news reports, the people of Kyrington did not show much resistance. There was even a kind of enthusiasm for war faintly among the people—especially the young people. spread.

If you fall behind, you will be beaten. This principle is also applicable in the interstellar era. Even, because the interstellar environment is more complicated, this reality is even more cruel.

As a once-vulnerable group, the Kingdom of Kyington has been compromising for too long under the pressure of other governments. No one would not want their country to become powerful and mighty, with all nations coming to court, and the small star field The area has become one of the important factors restricting the international status of the Kingdom of Keinton.

——So, if you want to be strong, it is imperative to start a war and expand your territory sooner or later.

After Qiao Qiao successfully developed the new weapon, the Kingdom of Kaynton not only held a grand military parade, but even released many clips of military exercises to the public.Even people who don't know much about the military can feel the rapid improvement of their country's military strength.

As the saying goes, "wealth and honor do not return to their hometown, they walk at night like embroidered clothes", no matter how powerful the army is, what's the point of not really going abroad to show it to the world?

Not only the military and soldiers are ready to try these new weapons on the battlefield, but even the more radical faction among the people is also secretly looking forward to it.

——The people of the Kingdom of Kayndon are not afraid of war. After all, the two coups have already experienced the baptism of war, and the army of the Kingdom of Kayndon is full of hope to win honor and gain meritorious service on the battlefield.As long as they believe that this war is beneficial to their motherland, then they can fully mobilize their enthusiasm and face the challenge fearlessly.

Seeing the completely different orientation of public opinion among the domestic people and the people of the Manlai Kingdom passed on by the intelligence agents, Mandel raised the corners of his lips and smiled quite contentedly.

The army has been fully armed and mobilized before the war, and is always ready to go to the battlefield; all war supplies have been dispatched on the eve of King Manlai's birthday banquet; and there is no high anti-war sentiment in the country.This means that the Kingdom of Kyington is fully prepared for war and can wage war anytime and anywhere.

——Since everything is ready, it is natural that the sooner the better, the opponent cannot be given too much preparation time.

He issued a few messages to his ministers, asking them to draft a declaration of war as soon as possible. Mandel turned his head to look at Jojo in a good mood. Just as he was about to talk to him about the next arrangement, he saw his little devil Holding the computer, with a malicious smile, watching the not very harmonious picture on the screen.

The smile on Mandel's face froze, then deepened a little: "What are you doing?"

"This is what I shot through the camera of the Manlai Palace." Jojo turned the screen to Mandel enthusiastically, and happily proposed, "Say, how about I post this video on the Internet? Blur the time, Let the people of Manlai think that their king is still in the mood to have fun and sing songs every night at a critical moment of civil strife in this country?"

Mandel squinted his eyes, and mercilessly closed the screen: "Don't show me such hot-eyed things!" After a pause, he shrugged his shoulders lightly, "You can post it if you want, Anyway, the Kingdom of Manlai is already in chaos, so it’s not too far behind this 01:30.”

With Mandel's approval, Qiaoqiao happily turned the computer back to his side, ready to implement his plan immediately.It's just that Mandel stretched out his hand and pressed the locked screen.

"...What's wrong?" Qiao Qiao looked puzzled.

"How did you promise me before, do you remember?" Mandel narrowed his eyes in dissatisfaction, and said in a dark tone, "I told you, don't read the hacked content in the future, and hand it over to the Intelligence Department."

"But I've seen this passage a long time ago." Qiaoqiao blinked, pretending to be innocent, "I recorded it myself!"

Mandel: "………………………… (angry)"

"I think your butt is itchy." With a sneer, Mandel snatched the computer held by Jojo with one hand and threw it aside, and pressed him on the sofa with the other hand, narrowing his eyes slightly, "I want to find something ?”

Qiao Qiao snorted, and hinted at the end of the sentence: "Since returning to China, you have been busy..."

"Want it?" Mandel laughed, only thinking that this little thing really did what he wanted.Obviously, I was terribly scared some time ago, but just tasted the sweetness, and immediately started to move around.

"A little bit." Qiaoqiao watched calmly as Mandel unbuttoned his clothes slowly, with undisguised expectation in his black eyes, "It was so comfortable last time, I want to try again!"

"Okay, I'll satisfy you." Mandel leaned down, and tenderly bit Jojo's earlobe.It's just that he just stripped the two of them naked, and before he could really do anything, he felt the rejection from the people under him.

"What's wrong? You don't want it anymore?" Mandel braced himself and asked patiently.

"You... Did you forget a step?" Qiao Qiao's eyes were moist, and although she had been aroused, she still had a clear mind.

"Forgot what?" Mandel froze for a moment, with an inexplicable expression.

"Medicine! You forgot to give me medicine!" Qiao Qiao quickly reminded, lest her host forget this "crucial" step to make her happy, "Take medicine to be comfortable, not taking medicine will not work!"

Mandel with an indifferent face: "………………………"

"You...you didn't bring your medicine, did you?" Qiao Qiao turned pale in shock, and wanted to get up as soon as he grumbled, "Then I won't do it this time, and I'll wait until I get some medicine next time!"

"...Good idea!" Mandel gritted his teeth, and pushed down Qiaoqiao who was trying to escape with one hand, "I can make you happy without medicine!"

The little devil who suddenly regretted that he teased me without prescribing the medicine: "……………………… QAQ"

——No, what if you don’t really believe it?

Mandel, who stopped talking and worked hard: "…………………==###"

——Facts speak louder than words!
