Then let them show their loyalty!

Chapter 431 Your Highness, What a Coincidence ( words asking for monthly tickets!)
And at the same time.

When Lajiro escaped, he began to plan to "take advantage of the situation" and seize the Wuhai area.

Office of the Director, Exploration Department, New Territories City.

Qiu Tu, however, acted very relaxed.

He smiled and took out a cigarette case, took out a cigarette and lit it. His handsome face became vague in the smoke, and then he quietly thought about Lajiro's little trick.
There is a reason why Lajiro dared to do this.

Although Wuhai City and Xinjie City both belong to Dongye Prefecture, they are far apart.

Xinjie City is to the west of Dongye Prefecture, while Wuhai City is to the east of Dongye Prefecture.

It takes about 10 hours to get from Xinjie City to Wuhai City.

The round trip takes 20 hours.

Adding the time required for rest and delays on the road, as well as the time required to search for and capture Lajilo, it would probably take two or three days.

As the director of the Exploration Bureau of New Territories City, Qiu Tu had just started a new round of purge plan. He had no way of leaving New Territories City for a long time. He had to stay in New Territories City, otherwise it would easily cause chaos.

Therefore, Lajiro will get a short but worthwhile gamble.

There is a reason why it is short but worth a gamble.

The "catastrophic path" of the whale shark is "life", so the attribute of the "Wuhai area" should also be "life". Then, the time for the evil god Lariluo, who is also in the "life" path, to refine the ground vein nodes and regional centers of the "Wuhai area" will be greatly shortened.

Moreover, although Whale Shark looks mighty and powerful, and his strength is quite good, because he is a catastrophic creature that became a god, and not an evil god born and raised like Lajiro, he has always had a sense of inferiority and caution in his bones.

This is also the fundamental reason why he always likes to brag but is actually timid and cowardly.

Such a character made him not dare to seek too large an area of ​​the Infinite Heart Sea, so the "Wuhai Area" is very small, and can even be said to be one of the smallest areas in the Infinite Heart Sea. There are only 16 ground vein nodes.

Therefore, the speed of refining Lajiro will be very fast.

Two or three days may be a bit tight, but there is definitely hope.

And once Lajiro really refines all the earth vein nodes and re-condenses the regional center.

Well, unless Qiu Tu kills her, it will be impossible for him to regain the "Wu Hai Area".

But will Qiu Tu really kill Lazhiluo?

Although Lajiluo had been scheming for so long, she had never defeated Qiu Tu even once. However, after spending so much time together, she had truly understood one thing: Qiu Tu was unwilling to kill her no matter what the reason was.

It was precisely because she had figured out Qiu Tu's bottom line that Lajiluo dared to do this.

To put it bluntly, she is just like a naughty kid at home. When she sees something delicious, she just puts it in her mouth and takes it first!

No matter whether it’s yours or not, just eat it first. Your “father” won’t beat you to death, right?

After understanding Lazhiluo's mental journey and calculations, Qiu Tu flicked the ash off his cigarette, shook his head and smiled. Then he leaned back in his chair and waved his cigarette-holding hand to Ah Shui in front of him, "Alright. I know about this matter, and I will arrange it. You go ahead and do your work."

"Yes, Brother Tu." Hearing Qiu Tu's words, A Shui responded, then his black figure lowered and merged with the shadow of the table.

As one of the three commanders of the Dark Soldiers, he and Datou now take turns to lead the team to guard Qiu Tu every day. Zhu Huoyan is in charge of the "New Territory Area" development plan.

As for the special forces, although they are powerful, they are not directly under Qiu Tu after all, so even if they have an independent organization, they are still under their command.
After sending Ah Shui away, Qiu Tu smoked a cigarette, squinted his eyes and thought quietly.

To be honest, Lajiro's escape did disrupt part of his plan. He had actually "prepared" a "Boundless Heart Sea Area" for Lajiro to help her become the master of the area, but it was not the "Wuhai Area".
Wuhai area, he also has other arrangements related to his promotion to deputy speaker.

"So, we still have to capture Lajiro."

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu put out the scarlet cigarette butt in the ashtray on the table, then picked up the landline and secretly made a call.
"Send the eagle over."

The job of the Director of Exploration is busy and boring.

But fortunately, Tang Feifei taught Qiu Tu the management strategy of "focusing on the big and letting go of the small".

Therefore, even though Qiu Tu lacked basic knowledge and improved too quickly, resulting in his lack of proficiency in the business, he was still able to run the entire exploration agency smoothly.

In addition, Qiu Tu asked Ellie to catch all the spies and spikes of the anti-government armed forces and extreme religious groups once and for all, and he and Tang Feifei trained a group of elite troops in the two months when they were in power some time ago.

Therefore, the security pressure in the entire New Territories city is not great.

This also ensured that Qiu Tu, the newly appointed Director of the Exploration Agency, did not embarrass himself in his daily work.

After working hard for a whole morning, Tao Yaoyao finally succeeded in transferring from the City Hall to the Exploration Agency in the afternoon.

As expected by Qiu Tu, the matter was handled without his involvement and only relying on Chen Feng.

However, what surprised Qiu Tu was that although Chen Feng took care of the matter, the incident caused quite a stir.

It is said that after communicating with Chen Feng and transferring Tao Yaoyao's file to the Investigation Bureau through the Organization Department, the City Hall directly packed up Tao Yaoyao's office items and personal belongings, and then had someone drive them to the door of the Investigation Bureau.

It was the agents of the Political Department who found these items and felt something was wrong, so they notified Guan Xiao. Guan Xiao came to check it out personally and found that they were Tao Yaoyao's personal belongings.

Although Guan Xiao blocked the news immediately, there is no such thing as an airtight wall in the world, especially when it involves a beautiful female secretary and two giants in the New Territories City, the news could not be blocked.

Therefore, it didn't take long for the story of Tao Yaoyao, Qiu Tu and Jiang Zhenpeng to spread in the Exploration Agency, City Hall and the military.

Because many people at the city hall knew that Tao Yaoyao and Jiang Zhenpeng were uncle and nephew, the rumor did not spread to the outside world.

But this also makes the story of this woman and two men even more legendary. Well, it is a legend in that aspect.

Some people said that Qiu Tu had known Tao Yaoyao when he was just a section chief.

Qiu Tu didn't know what kind of magic potion he fed Tao Yaoyao that made Tao Yaoyao fall in love with Qiu Tu at first sight and be willing to do anything for Qiu Tu.

So, when Qiu Tu was being hunted by Jia Shu, Tao Yaoyao persuaded Jiang Zhenpeng to mobilize a secret force that Jiang Zhenpeng had worked so hard to train to rescue Qiu Tu.

Afterwards, Qiu Tu's mistress Bai Ru was ostracized in the Civil Affairs Department because her family fell into decline. Tao Yaoyao showed her "elderly wife" style and stepped forward decisively to rescue her "sister" Bai Ru.

Later, Qiu Tu's confidant Lao Ying was taken away by the state's supervisory department for investigation. Tao Yaoyao even took political risks to lead Qiu Tu, found the interrogation room of the supervisory department, and rescued Qiu Tu's confidant.

If things had ended here, Jiang Zhenpeng would probably have just been a little amused and would not have blamed his niece.

Even if they are open-minded, they will try to match Tao Yaoyao and Qiu Tu up and make this marriage come true.

Who would have thought that Qiu Tu would soar to the top and become a big shot in charge of the New Territories City Investigation Bureau, and gradually some conflicts arose between him and Jiang Zhenpeng.

Because of the competitive relationship, Jiang Zhenpeng hopes that Tao Yaoyao can keep a certain distance from Qiu Tu.

Tao Yaoyao did agree on the surface.

However, when he was secretly visiting the attendant's room, he still secretly informed Qiu Tu.

During these two days, the Investigation Bureau cleared out the traitors and spies in the entire New Territories City. Jiang Zhenpeng was furious and wanted to take action against Qiu Tu. At this time, Tao Yaoyao secretly passed the message to Qiu Tu again.

Because this was equivalent to betraying Jiang Zhenpeng to please Qiu Tu. So Jiang Zhenpeng was furious when he found out.

So, the uncle and nephew had a big fight about this matter this morning.

As Tao Yaoyao's superior and a capable person, Qiu Tu certainly couldn't just ignore the situation. So, he took the initiative to mediate and transferred Tao Yaoyao to the Exploration Bureau, which temporarily ended the whole thing.

This story was told in great detail and was very complete, it sounded as if it were true.

Therefore, when the upper class of New Territories City was eating the melons about the two giants Qiu Tu and Jiang Zhenpeng, they were also curious.

What magic does Qiu Tu have that can make so many women crazy about him? First it was Tang Feifei, and now there is Tao Yaoyao, all of whom are princesses or ladies of wealthy families with certain status. And they all openly confront their superiors or families for him.

As for other confidantes, there are even more of them, too many to count.

This also led to the spread of this melon month, and its flavor became more and more different: some upper-class married socialites, when talking about this matter, were discussing Qiu Tu's aspect with great interest.

They wondered if Qiu Tu was particularly strong in that aspect. Otherwise, why did he fascinate so many women? This also made them cover their mouths and laugh secretly, feeling both excited and curious.
Guan Xiao’s intelligence ability is still very strong.

So the news quickly reached Qiu Tu. However, Qiu Tu didn't pay much attention to these rumors.

Through today's verification, he has roughly figured out the whole thing.

To put it bluntly, this was a trap set by Jiang Zhenpeng. Jiang Zhenpeng most likely did not really want to withhold the relief food from the people of New Territories City, but wanted to use such an excessive approach to force Tao Yaoyao to completely come to Qiu Tu's side.

This afternoon, Qiu Tu also had a conversation with Tao Yaoyao. Tao Yaoyao was a principled woman, and even if she wanted to invest in Qiu Tu, she would not harm the interests of her family.

Therefore, during this period, most of the things Tao Yaoyao did for Qiu Tu were actually instructed or acquiesced by Jiang Zhenpeng.

As for why Jiang Zhenpeng wanted to force Tao Yaoyao to be with Qiu Tu, Qiu Tu felt that there were only two reasons.

First, Tao Yaoyao is only Jiang Zhenpeng's niece, the daughter of Jiang Zhenpeng's sister. In a traditional family, this already makes her half an outsider - after all, even their surnames are different.

Therefore, the resources Jiang Zhenpeng can provide her are relatively limited.

Well, for Tao Yaoyao's development, Jiang Zhenpeng might as well help Tao Yaoyao build bridges, so that Tao Yaoyao can catch up with upstarts like Qiu Tu and fight for a better future.

Second, Jiang Zhenpeng may have realized that his future is not as bright as Qiu Tu's. And his faction is not as strong as Qiu Tu's "Fengtian faction".

Then sending Tao Yaoyao over here can be considered as diversifying investments and placing more bets.

In this way, even if his family fell into decline or his faction lost power, he could still rely on this network to find a way out for his family.

As for the fact that he has schemed against Tao Yaoyao so cruelly now, will Tao Yaoyao deny him when the time comes?

Not to mention that Tao Yaoyao's mother is his full sister and Tao Yaoyao has no way of cutting off this bloodline; Jiang Zhenpeng's target is actually not Tao Yaoyao at all.

Jiang Zhenpeng had been targeting Qiu Tu from the beginning. He sent Tao Yaoyao to Qiu Tu just to have a deeper and more secretive cooperation with him.

Qiu Tu could see through this matter, and Jiang Zhenpeng also believed that Qiu Tu could see through it. This was the tacit understanding between two smart people. So Jiang Zhenpeng was not worried that Tao Yaoyao would not admit it, as long as Qiu Tu admitted it.

Therefore, this afternoon's rumor is better explained: it is most likely that Jiang Zhenpeng spread the rumor.

The purpose is, firstly, to make Tao Yaoyao unable to turn back and go down the wrong path completely, and secondly, to make the outside world think that there is a deep conflict between him and Qiu Tu, so as to paralyze his and Qiu Tu's opponents.

If someone really believed this and came to him to deal with Qiu Tu, or asked Qiu Tu to deal with him, they would immediately fall into the trap.
"This old fox is really not simple."

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu shook his head slightly.

However, no matter what, Qiu Tu is now sitting on the Diaoyutai: he just hunted a whale shark, and recorded the whole process on tape, so that there is no flaw in his achievement.

Next, once you have collected all the disaster materials, you can officially become the vice speaker.

Therefore, as long as he doesn't take any extra action and holds on steadily for one or two months, he can get what he wants.

As for Jiang Zhenpeng's calculating feelings, he accepted them; he also kept the relationship for the time being, but he would not take the initiative to interfere, and would only watch the situation develop quietly.
When the news reached Qiu Tu, he was very calm. But when it reached Jiang Zhenpeng, it was different.

After hearing his confidant tell him in detail all the rumors about New Territories City, Jiang Zhenpeng's brows furrowed visibly.

He paced around the room with his hands behind his back for a few steps, then turned around and said, "I remember when I asked you to spread the news, I only mentioned the previous collaborations between Yaoyao and Qiu Tu."

"The turning point of the design was when Yaoyao told Qiu Tu about the secret visit to the attendant's room."

"How come the news that I was going to deal with Qiu Tu got out?"

After hearing what Jiang Zhenpeng said, the confidant was obviously a little confused. He said, "Commissioner, I don't know either."

"We did exactly what you said."

At this point, he paused, then speculated hesitantly, "Could it be that some section chiefs and department heads in the department noticed our acting a few days ago and believed it to be true?"

"And when you spread the gossip, you exaggerated it and spread it along with the gossip?"

"It is possible." Jiang Zhenpeng continued to pace for a few steps, then stopped again, "But... I still feel that something is wrong."

His narrow eyes were sharp and deep. "No. I'm worried that someone is trying to take advantage of the situation."

"Go check the source of the news now."

"In addition." At this point, Jiang Zhenpeng frowned and said, "Go check when the batch of grain I bought through other channels will arrive?"

"Please don't delay the distribution of relief food."

"Yes!" Hearing Jiang Zhenpeng's words, the confidant responded quickly.

Time flies, and it's evening in a blink of an eye.

midnight.

Qiu Tu sat in the office with the specially made "Soul Shackles" altar placed in front of his desk.

In the altar, the Huang Mei mother and daughter leaned against each other, holding a small thumb-sized piece of fifth-order "Infinite Divine Crystal" in their hands, and were eating it carefully.

Perhaps because they were frightened, they looked up at Qiu Tu timidly while eating.

Qiu Tu looked at them with neither joy nor sadness, smoking quietly. The atmosphere was a bit weird amid the smoke.
I don't know how much time passed. Maybe an hour, maybe two.

Suddenly, Qiu Tu's communicator started buzzing. There was a new message.

Hearing his cell phone vibrate, Qiu Tu smiled and put out his cigarette.

Then he put the "Huang Mei" mother and daughter into the "Gold-loving Wallet" and replied with a message
The next second, there was a space fluctuation, and he disappeared in the director's office!
The Boundless Heart Sea-Wuhai area.

Still lower down, in a coral reef, Lazhiluo sat cross-legged, quietly refining the earth vein nodes.

After a moment, she opened her eyes with excitement!
"It's done! It's the fourth one!"

Maybe it was because they had the same attributes, maybe she had been the lord of a region before, or maybe it was because Lajiro was much stronger than Qiu Tu was at the time, she refined the earth vein nodes at a very fast speed!

In just over ten hours, four of them were refined.

After all, the "Wu Hai Area" is much smaller than the "New Territories Area" and is easier to find. If she changed to a larger area, she would be lucky enough to find 2 now.

'Yes! It's faster than expected!'

"It will take Qiu Tu at least two or three days to find me. There's still time, there's still time!"

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Lajiro's beautiful face. Then she rubbed her face, and not daring to waste time, she suddenly jumped and rushed out of the sea!
In the sunshine, the sea water sparkled, and the water droplets falling from Lazhiluo's body flashed with colorful light.

The soaked black gauze skirt was tightly wrapped around her body, showing off her exquisite curves.

'What a pity, no one has seen my beautiful picture of hibiscus emerging from the water~'

After muttering narcissistically in her heart, Lajiro smiled and prepared to continue searching for the next geomancy node.

As a result, at this moment, a familiar voice rang in her ears, "Hi, Your Highness, what a coincidence, we meet again."

"Where are you going in such a hurry?"
