Chapter 14669 Banquet (II)

"Spiritual roots? Big brother, why is he starting to research spiritual roots again? Hasn't that thing been concluded long ago? Only those who have reached the Star Lord level in the Star Empire can possess spiritual roots through the transition of the body? Big brother, why is he starting to research again?" Zuoqiu Zhi looked at Zuoqiu Wen with a puzzled look on his face. He was really puzzled as to why Zuoqiu Wen wanted to research spiritual roots again.

Zuo Qiuwen shook his head, then he lowered his voice and said: "The reason why we want to study spiritual roots is because Mr. Zhao Hai discovered that it's not that we don't have spiritual roots, but that our spiritual roots are dormant. Take a look at this." After saying that, Zuo Qiuwen moved his hand and took out a document directly and gave the document to Zuo Qiuzhi. Zuo Qiuwen deliberately wanted to show it to Zuo Qiuzhi. He just wanted to see what kind of reaction Zuo Qiuzhi would have after seeing this document and what kind of action he would take next. It can be said that this document is actually a bait, a bait to make Zuo Qiuzhi move, because Zuo Qiuwen knew very well that Ma Luo and the others had taken action, which meant that people outside had already known about his research on spiritual roots, so there was no need to hide it. It would be better to reveal a message to the outside world and then see how people outside reacted. If Zuo Qiuzhi really revealed the contents of Zhao Hai's report, then Zuo Qiuwen would be really disappointed in him. If he did not reveal the contents of this document, then Zuo Qiuwen might still show mercy to his men. After all, he was indeed a soft-hearted person, and he really didn't want Zuo Qiuzhi.

Zuoqiu Zhi took the report and read it carefully. The more he read, the more surprised he was. Finally, he suddenly stood up, stared at Zuoqiu Wen and said, "Brother, is this true?" Zuoqiu Wen nodded, picked up the glass and drank it.

Zuoqiu Zhi shouted, "Brother, if this is true, then we must immediately strengthen the defense of the Beast Garden. How can you still sit still?" He was really anxious this time, staring at Zuoqiu Wen.

Zuo Qiuwen glanced at him and said, "Sit down. You are a prince, but you are still not calm at all. I have secretly sent people to the Beast Garden. Otherwise, how do you think Ma Luo and the others were exposed? How can I not be careful about this kind of thing?"

Zuoqiu Zhi then sat down again, but his face was still excited. He looked at Zuoqiu Wen and said, "Brother, if this is true, does it mean that in the future, our Star Empire can fight on equal terms with people from the other six realms when fighting alone?" Zuoqiu Zhi's eyes lit up when he said this, he knew very well what the contents of this document represented.

Zuo Qiuwen shook his head and said, "It won't be that easy. The other six realms have already developed to such a level, and we don't have any spiritual roots yet. Even if we really have spiritual roots, it is impossible for us to catch up with the other six realms so quickly, not to mention that Zhao Hai and the others haven't found a way to activate the spiritual roots yet. Do you think it's that easy to find a way to activate the spiritual roots? I don't know how many years it will take to find this method. It won't be that simple." Zuo Qiuwen sighed lightly when he said this.

Zuo Qiuzhi couldn't help but feel a little discouraged when he heard what Zuo Qiuwen said, but then he became happy again and said, "This is also good. At least there is hope, unlike before, when there was no hope at all. By the way, big brother, is Zhao Hai lying to us?"

When Zuoqiu Zhi said this, he stared at Zuoqiu Wen. When Zuoqiu Wen heard what Zuoqiu Zhi said, he couldn't help but shook his head and said, "No, you should know something about Zhao Hai. He is not actually from any of the other six realms. He is a escapist, and our Star Empire is every one of his footholds. So to be honest, he is actually from our Star Empire and has nothing to do with the other six realms. So he wouldn't lie to us for such a thing." Zuoqiu Wen didn't think that Zhao Hai was lying to them.

Zuo Qiu Zhi nodded and said: "I have also checked this Zhao Hai, but he said that he is a person who can escape from the body. Is this true? Because we have no way to confirm this matter?" Zuo Qiu Zhi had indeed checked Zhao Hai, but he did not find out anything. He only found out that Zhao Hai appeared on Bona Star, and he did not find out about the previous events, so he said so.

Zuo Qiuwen said in a deep voice: "I sent people to check. Before he entered Bona Star, he actually startled one of our space fortresses, which also attacked him. At that time, Zhao Hai seemed to be using a large magic weapon. The space fortress attacked his magic weapon, and his magic weapon was destroyed. Then he fled to Bona Star by himself. Moreover, I also sent people to inquire from the Witch Academy from the side. I heard that a guardian of the Witch Academy did fight with others, and there was indeed a person who escaped from them." Zuo Qiuzhi nodded, then said: "I still think we should be more careful. If this Zhao Hai is really someone from the other six realms and sent out to deal with us, then there is no problem in helping him tell a few lies. After all, we have no way to confirm this kind of thing. What do you think?" Zuo Qiuzhi still expressed that they should pay close attention to Zhao Hai, otherwise, there might really be problems. If the other six realms want to deal with them and place someone like Zhao Hai, it would be too easy. He was still not at ease.

Zuo Qiuwen nodded and said: "Don't worry, I have arranged people to monitor Zhao Hai, but it's a pity for Ma Luo and the others. I didn't get anything out of them. That guy would rather commit suicide than say anything. I really don't understand who can make someone like Ma Luo so loyal." At this point, Zuo Qiuwen kept shaking his head, and Zuo Qiuzhi's eyes shrank slightly, but he didn't show it, but said in a deep voice: "It seems that there may be an organization behind this Ma Luo. We must investigate it carefully, otherwise, the harm to us is too great. What do you think, brother?"

Zuo Qiuwen nodded, and then he said in a deep voice: "I am sending people to investigate, but there is no progress. I suspect it is related to those big families. Over the years, those big families have been against us and have been constantly eating away at the imperial power. Only they have the ability to instigate people like Ma Luo. You also know Ma Luo's identity, the deputy commander of the secret guards. The person who can instigate him must have a high status. Although Ma Luo's status is not low, his family is not a big family. Moreover, because of his status, those big families often suppress his family, so If those big families use his family to threaten him, they may really turn him against us. Otherwise, why would he betray us? Forget it, let's not talk about this. This matter needs to be investigated slowly, and it may end up in nothing. However, it is already very good to find a Marlowe. Marlowe's identity is very important. If we can find such a person, we will be safer in the future. Otherwise, keeping such a person around is like raising a poisonous snake around, which is too dangerous. "Zuo Qiuwen couldn't help sighing at the end.

When Zuoqiu Zhi heard what Zuoqiu Wen said, he felt relieved. He nodded and said, "That's true. Those big families are really going too far. They have become powerful over the years. We must find an opportunity to deal with them in the future." He was gritting his teeth when he spoke the last sentence, and his look made Zuoqiu Wen stunned.

Zuo Qiuwen said that Marlowe might have been instigated by those big families for two purposes. First, he wanted Zuo Qiuzhi to think that he thought so, so as to stabilize Zuo Qiuzhi. When Zuo Qiuzhi heard that he suspected those big families, he would naturally relax, so that it would be easier for him to investigate Zuo Qiuzhi in the future. Second, he wanted to see Zuo Qiuzhi's reaction and see if Zuo Qiuzhi had any collusion with those big families. If Zuo Qiuzhi had any collusion with those big families, he might say a few words for those big families. But now looking at Zuo Qiuzhi's reaction, he didn't seem to have any collusion with those big families. Zuo Qiuzhi was even very dissatisfied with those big families, which made Zuo Qiuwen even more curious. He really didn't know what the relationship between Zuo Qiuzhi and those big families was. Was it an enemy or a friend? If Zuo Qiuzhi was an enemy of those big families, then did it mean that he was in the same group with the Twelve Companies, but not with the big families? In this way, Zuo Qiuzhi would be easier to deal with.

Zuo Qiuwen's mind was racing as these thoughts flashed through his mind, but he sighed softly and said, "It's not that easy. You should know the strength of those big families. They have formed an alliance a long time ago. Although they usually fight among themselves, once they face us, they are united. And if we want to move against them, it will cause turmoil in the empire. So now we can only maintain it like this and slowly look for opportunities." After saying that, he took another sip of wine, his face full of depression.

Zuo Qiuzhi looked at him and snorted coldly, "If you ask me, we should just find an opportunity to clean up all the guys from the big families. I really don't believe it. If we clean up all the people from the big families in the capital star, their people in the army will not be able to stir up any trouble. Moreover, those guys in the army will really follow them to the end. As the saying goes, a snake cannot survive without a head. We should chop off the heads of the big families first, and then clean up the remaining ones."

Zuo Qiuwen smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It won't be that easy, otherwise, wouldn't the previous generations of emperors have already taken action? How can we wait until now? The strength of those big families is intertwined, and it is almost impossible to deal with them all at once. If we really do that, I'm afraid the empire will immediately fall into civil strife. At that time, if the other six realms attack, what can we use to resist? At that time, even if we block the attack of the other six realms, do you think that the Star Empire will still be controlled by our Zuoqiu family? At that time, it is hard to say whether our Zuoqiu family will still exist, so we must be careful."

When Zuoqiu Zhi heard what Zuoqiu Wen said, he snorted again, but didn't say anything else. However, looking at his expression, Zuoqiu Wen believed that he was not in the same group with those big families. Instead, he was very hostile to those big families.
