The old Kolev, who was wearing velvet pajamas, stared at Yang Ming who had a cheerful face, with disgust written all over his old face.
"Let me think about it, my lovely nephew, who once told me that noble women are not honest?"
"Yes, I said that."
Yang Ming unbuttoned his clothes and replied with a smile: "Miss Windsor is different. Although she is not gentle, her straightforward personality is indeed very charming."
"Come on!"
Kolev scolded: "Do you think I have never been younger? In our eyes, does a woman's attractiveness have anything to do with her character?"
"Uncle, you are too arbitrary. Personality is a big plus, and it can also affect your own temperament."
After Yang Ming finished speaking, he blinked, and Kolev was wise enough not to dwell on this topic any more.
People say that if you get along for a long time, you will unconsciously imitate the other person's habits.
This is what happened to Kolev and Yang Ming.
Yang Ming took a bottle of soda from the refrigerator, and Kolev was holding the freshly brewed soothing tea. The two of them sat at both ends of the couch at the same time, crossed their legs, sunk into the backrest, took a sip of the drink in their hands, and squinted.
Eyes let out two sighs.
"This is life," Kolev's eyes were full of aftertaste.
"Miss Windsor has a really nice figure," Yang Ming's voice was full of yearning.
Kolev frowned and said: "You have fallen in love with this noble lady? She is the only daughter of the Minister of Finance. The Minister of Finance is a die-hard supporter of the third prince, and you are now the second prince's person."
"That's right," Yang Ming added, "that's why I'm so interested in this girl. Of course, her personal charm is always the first motivation for me to pursue her."
Kolev pondered for a few times: "I must remind you that emotions mixed with political games usually end in tragedy."
"So I will try to give this young lady a romantic relationship."
Yang Ming's eyes flashed with a few gleams of light, and he said softly:
"We have won our first battle against the new federal CIA.
"Although it will become increasingly difficult to fight in the future, now, at least while the deterrent power of the Sherman Empire is in effect, is the golden period for me to move forward.
"Every game has its own rules, and the same is true for the aristocratic circle of the Luofeng Empire.
"The third prince did not save the life of the finance minister. There is a delicate balance between the minister's position and the princes' position. What cannot be ignored behind the scenes is the old emperor, the real leader of the empire.
"We might as well make a bet, Uncle Hatton."
"How to bet?" Kolev suddenly became interested.
"In the next two to three months, the second prince will gain the respect of the old emperor, the third prince will be suppressed, the eldest prince will choose to avoid his influence, and one or two of the twelve ministers will turn to support the second prince."
Yang Ming paused for a moment before continuing:
"Also, don't underestimate the second prince, he is the most suitable candidate in the old emperor's mind."
"Oh why?"
"What Lu said," Yang Ming shrugged, "I am a serious human being with a limited brain capacity, so I cannot analyze so many problems at the same time."
Kolev clicked his tongue: "I am responsible for business and you are responsible for politics. This division of labor is not bad."
"You are wrong uncle," Yang Ming said slowly, "I have no interest in politics."
"Then how did you..."
"My interest is to gain stewardship of a planet and run it as my personal territory, currently achieving my own goals through politics. It's like using tools."
Yang Ming said slowly:
"I prefer to influence the Luofeng Empire by controlling the army.
"Just like now, the royal family is restricted in every aspect and the military is lawless. Only with a fleet and cannon can it have the strength to challenge."
Kolev slowly sipped the soothing tea and thought carefully for a long time.
"It's great to be able to stick to your goals, but... Yang Ming, you have to remember one thing. This is some advice given to you by someone who has experienced it."
"Okay uncle, I'm listening carefully."
"Don't be swallowed up by your own desires," Kolev said slowly, "You need to be alert at all times. Power is the greatest desire and the most powerful poison that corrodes people's hearts."
Yang Ming nodded silently.
Another day of being educated by the first mate.
Before going to bed that night, Yang Ming's mind was filled with images of dancing with Miss Windsor.
The two of them had a good chat, and before the banquet dispersed, they even enjoyed the breeze on the balcony on the second floor.
Yang Ming was inexplicably looking forward to this relationship between a man and a woman that was not pure at all and full of entangled interests.
"Lv, help me investigate the unit I'm going to report to tomorrow, compile a copy of my boss's information, and give it to me tomorrow morning."
"Boss, the vice-captain has many superiors."
"Clean it up for me," Yang Ming smiled, "If you can find some clue, that would be great."
"I understand, good night boss."
"install."
The bedroom lights slowly went out.
Yang Ming gradually fell into a shallow dreamland.
In the living room, Kolev was wearing glasses and carefully flipping through the projected prospectus, deciding which companies to invest in and hold next.
The old pirate leader had a bad premonition.
Next, he will become busier and busier.
…
Half a month later.
…
Early in the morning, the third prince's mood became very bad.
His second brother, who was deprived of the right to inherit the throne because he offended his father in his early years, has actually been 'resurrected' in the past half month and has become one of the candidates for the crown prince.
Those new federal agents who like to cause trouble have given Edwan an excellent chance to make a comeback!
The third prince threw away the documents in his hands. The nobles, officials, and generals standing in front lowered their heads and did not dare to breathe.
Just last night, his second brother Edwang stayed at the palace for the third time in the past ten days.
According to the report from the maid in the palace, Adwang slept in the same dormitory as the old man!
It’s self-evident what this represents!
The third prince held his forehead and growled:
"I need a reason. What's the reason for this? Don't you always brag about your IQ? Now you're all mute! What did Edwan do?"
The Minister of Finance said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the economic reform proposed by the second prince is already a complete system of plans, and it analyzes our country's economic problems to the core. It is normal for him to be appreciated by your majesty. He must have been preparing for several years.
Long."
"So?" The third prince said coldly, "You are optimistic about him now, right?"
"Your Highness, you can completely trust my loyalty to you," the Minister of Finance said with his head lowered, not daring to say anything more.
The third prince took a deep breath: "Sorry, I'm a little anxious now. I understand the abilities of my second brother, but after all, he has left the palace for more than ten years... Is your daughter dating that Yang Ming recently?"
The Minister of Finance said with a wry smile: "They probably haven't officially dated yet. It's hard for parents to interfere in their children's decisions, but this will definitely not affect my political stance."
"I believe you," the third prince rubbed his eyebrows, "This Yang Ming has been a bit too eye-catching recently. General Wuli, is he your subordinate now?"
"Your Highness," the gray-haired general whispered, "Although he is in the Guards Regiment under my command, Philemon has been secretly supporting him. And... Your Highness, I'm afraid I have to tell you a few words of truth."
"speak."
"He was a perfect soldier!"
Uli Korda's voice was a little excited and he whispered:
“He has given us so many surprises just half a month after he joined our team.
"His physical fitness test ranked first among the entire Guards. During the fighting drill, he continuously knocked down seven or eight of the top 30 in our fighting rankings. In the end, the fight ended in a draw due to lack of physical strength.
"His skill in handling weapons is astonishing. Any weapon in his hands can quickly become a murderous weapon.
"What's even more surprising is his understanding of tactics. He defeated a few of us old guys in tactical deductions... We secretly set up a secret staff for this purpose, making him mistake it for a normal battalion-level
Virtual practice, and guess what...well, Your Highness, you look a little unhappy."
The third prince gave an ugly smile: "Continue, General Wuli, I need to understand his strength."
"We all lost, as incredible as it sounds."
Uli Korda whispered:
"We lost to him six times in a row in tactical exercises, virtual exercises, and even small-scale live-fire exercises.
"He is extremely good at special raid operations. No, to be precise, he has never thought about confronting us with firepower, constantly attacking our headquarters, cutting off our communications, and killing our senior commanders.
"Oh, yes, he belongs to the second prince... Your Highness, I suggest you either bribe him or kill him. Once his talents are given a chance to be used, he will definitely be put to great use by His Majesty the Emperor."
The third prince rubbed his eyebrows.
If General Wuli's last words hadn't been so pertinent, he would have wanted to kick people now.
There was a gentle middle-aged man next to him, pushing up his glasses and saying slowly:
"Your Highness should really pay attention to this Yang Ming. According to the information we received, the New Federation also investigated him before. Later, because of the large-scale retreat of the New Federation's special agents in Yilanduo, they gave up paying attention to Yang Ming.
"From a time point of view, the second prince's attitude changed so drastically only after Yang Ming came into contact with the second prince.
"The second prince is highly suspected of being influenced by him."
The woman in the corner said: "According to the news we got at the second prince's palace, the second prince talks to Yang Ming once or twice a day, and the most is seven or eight times... From politics and economy to topics about the opposite sex, what do they talk about?
Let’s talk.”
The third prince murmured: "This Yang Ming... what is he doing?"
General Uli's ears were very useful. He immediately took out his military network access terminal, turned on the stereoscopic projection, and projected a corner inside the base of the Fourth Regiment of the Guard Corps.
This general's execution is quite good.
The third prince was a little dumbfounded.
What he actually wants to ask is, what is Yang Ming's purpose, what is he seeking in the Luofeng Empire, and what is his true identity and background.
He didn't want to see with his own eyes what a little captain was doing at the moment!
However, the third prince was quickly attracted by the figure in the surveillance video.
There was a projection screen in front of Yang Ming, and on it was Windsor who had just woken up but was wearing exquisite makeup. The two seemed to have had a brief and pleasant morning chat, and were now saying goodbye to each other.
The third prince glared at the finance minister with a dark face.
The Finance Minister also looked embarrassed.
Everyone in the room was looking at Yang Ming carefully.
The light black military uniform worn by Yang Ming is the exclusive color of the royal guard.
He adjusted the hidden buckle of his belt, carefully checked the charging magazine of the laser pistol on his waist, carefully took care of the straight collar, and finally picked up the flat-top military cap.
Afterwards, Yang Ming put his hands behind his back and walked out of the locker room.
The oncoming officers and soldiers almost subconsciously raised their chests, raised their heads, and saluted in unison.
"Sir!"
The soldiers' majestic voices made the third prince's eyelids twitch.
"Well," Yang Ming's voice came, "Today we have to compete with the third team. They are a little dirty. Do you know what to do if you get beaten?"
"I know! Call back!"
"Are you weak? If you don't fight back, how can you just take a beating without fighting back?" Yang Ming scolded, "You are dirtier than them! Pass this sentence to every team member participating in the battle today! Of course, don't attack them.
The reproductive organs, we are just practicing daily battles."
"Yes, sir!"
call out!
The projected image disappears.
General Uli muttered: "He is very respected by the soldiers, Your Highness, because he is very strong. This is the atmosphere of the army."
The third prince leaned back on his chair and lost in thought, and quickly said: "There is no need to spend too much energy on dealing with such a small person. Right, Minister of Finance?"
"Of course, of course," the Finance Minister said guiltily.
The third prince smiled and said: "The Sherman Empire's envoy will arrive in Ellando in three days...Leave the honor guard and defense work to Yang Ming's brigade, you know what I mean, Wuli."
General Wuli raised his eyebrows: "Let him make a small mistake? Lose the opportunity for promotion?"
"You can handle it as you see fit."
The third prince said: "Continue to study the economic plan proposed by my second brother. We must find out its weaknesses."
General Wuli felt uncomfortable all over after hearing this.
