Chapter 570 Princess Xi: I can give it a try (ask for guaranteed monthly tickets at the beginning of the month)
Although Princess Xi is not a monster, she is not a stupid person either.

In other words, if she was a stupid person, she would not have been able to form the Royalist faction in just a few years, nor could she be regarded as a small opponent by Kou Xuan.

So, even though it was just a simple authorization, she immediately realized something was wrong.

Qiu Tu didn't know who Su Wanqing was, but Princess Xi knew her very well.

This generation of the Kou family was known as the Twin Stars: Kou Xuan for literature and Kou Yu for martial arts.

But few people know that in addition to these two, some of the Kou family's branches are also very outstanding.

As a thousand-year-old family, the Kou family already had a complete talent training mechanism. Selecting suitable talents from the side branches and assigning them to various departments to enhance the family's influence and heritage was one of their most common methods.

Among them, Su Wanqing is one of the ten most outstanding people in the Kou family's branch, known as the Ten Heroes.

It is these 12 people who enable the Kou family to firmly control the power of the 6th Shelter.

Among them, Su Wanqing is most famous for her gentle and elegant appearance, superb negotiation skills and diplomatic means.

A woman like this ran to the 8th Shelter and to Dongye Prefecture. It only takes a little thought to understand what the Kou family is planning.

Thinking of this, Princess Xi frowned, pursed her lips tightly, and clenched the information in her hand.

But fortunately, she had been tempered by this period of time. So she did not explode, but thought quietly with a deep look in her eyes.

Because the clues were very obvious, after thinking for half an hour, Princess Xi roughly guessed Kou Xuan's plan to cut off the source of the problem.

"Bribe Qiu Tu and cut off my escape route?"

"What a cruel method."

The more Princess Xi analyzed, the more gloomy her face became.

However, compared to the Kou family, she has too few cards in her hand.

Apart from the noble cause of King Kang's bloodline, the only thing that could attract Qiu Tu was her "shan bridge".

But who knew that Kou Xuan was so ruthless that he took advantage of her being in Shelter 8 to launch a coup.

This resulted in the King Kang's treasure house being directly controlled by the Kou family. She had the key but was unable to take out the "root of the mountain".

"You can't really give it to Qiu Tu, right?"

Thinking of this, Princess Xi couldn't help but bite her red lips lightly.

Regardless of whether she is willing or not, even if she is willing, she thinks Qiu Tu will most likely not accept it, right?
After all, although she had only met Qiu Tu a few times, she felt that she had a very clear understanding of Qiu Tu: like herself, he was a true political creature.

Although Qiu Tu always appears to be "lustful" to the outside world, in fact, he is extremely cold-hearted.

Except for the two or three women who had followed him from the very beginning, other women did not have much status in Qiu Tu's heart.

Therefore, it is totally unrealistic to want to use beauty to exchange for resources or benefits.

Moreover, there is a high probability that they will continue to demand benefits after they have taken advantage of everything.

Therefore, beauty is just a "bonus" to Qiu Tu, rather than a bargaining chip.

Thinking of this, Princess Xi took a deep breath and continued to analyze the matter.

Now the entire 6th Shelter is in the midst of a three-party conflict. As the weakest party, Princess Xi has actually been surviving in the cracks.

So, she had to be careful with every step she took, cautious, cautious, and cautious again.

This requires her to think as much as possible and not just look at the first level.
"Is this information a coincidence? Or was it leaked to me intentionally by the Kou family or Qiu Tu?"

"If the Kou family leaked it to me, they probably wanted to sow discord."

"And if it's Qiu Tu, then he's probably waiting for a higher price, wanting me to continue adding chips."

Thinking of this, Princess Xi's emerald blue eyes became much deeper.

After a moment, she seemed to have made some kind of decision, picked up the special communicator, and dialed a number.
When Qiu Tu received the call from Princess Xi, he had just settled Tang Feifei and Zhao Ji.

That’s right, the protector Qiu Tu found for Tang Feifei was Zhao Ji.

After all, as a deity descended from heaven, Zhao Ji has proven her power many times. And in the northwest region, she is extremely powerful!
So with her protecting Tang Feifei, Qiu Tu can rest assured.

As for how to impress Zhao Ji and get her to come and help?

It’s very simple, just give the other person what he likes.

For a great evil god like Zhao Ji, ordinary treasures can no longer impress her. Only things that can arouse her interest can attract her.

Fortunately, Tang Feifei really has something that Zhao Ji is interested in - absolute perception.

At that time, Qiu Tu told Zhao Ji that Tang Feifei had awakened "absolute perception", and Zhao Ji's first reaction was to start counting down to "three".

Maybe she thought Qiu Tu was teasing her again.

In the end, it was only after Qiu Tu used Lajiro's sex life as a guarantee that Zhao Ji finally believed Qiu Tu's words.

So, Qiu Tu took the opportunity to invite Zhao Ji to meet Tang Feifei and give her some guidance.

Zhao Ji was obviously a little interested in Tang Feifei, so she came too.

The result came, and she couldn't leave. Qiu Tu told Tang Feifei about her promotion, and then asked Zhao Ji to protect Tang Feifei.

After listening to Qiu Tu's unreasonable request, the expression on Zhao Ji's face became noticeably colder.

However, although she ignored Qiu Tu, she did not leave. Instead, she sat cross-legged not far away and practiced silently, which was obviously her tacit consent.
Therefore, Qiu Tu also hurriedly arranged for Tang Feifei to break through.

And it was at this time that Qiu Tu received a call from Princess Xi.

Signaling to Tang Feifei that she could start the promotion, Qiu Tu flew to the side and answered the phone.

As soon as the call was connected, Princess Xi's dignified and reserved voice rang in Qiu Tu's ears, "Lord Qiu."

Qiu Tu responded, and then asked, "What does the princess want to see me about?"

Princess Xi hummed, then said meaningfully, "There is one thing, and it's an important one. I'm worried that if it's not handled properly, it might affect our cooperative relationship."

"So, I want to communicate with you in advance."

In fact, before receiving the call, Qiu Tu had not thought about the Kou family contacting him.

However, when Princess Xi said this, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart and then frowned.

"Princess Xi knows that the Kou family contacted me?"

As a political creature, Qiu Tu's first reaction was the same as Princess Xi's. He began to wonder whether the information was leaked intentionally by the Kou family or Princess Xi got it accidentally.
As a result, just as he was thinking this, Princess Xi slowly spoke, "The Kou family secretly contacted me today. They want to negotiate with me to put an end to the war in Shelter No. 6."

Qiu Tu:? ? ?

hiss.
Over the years, what kind of operations has Qiu Tu not seen?

He had never seen this operation before.

Princess Xi's words almost blew up Qiu Tu's CPU. His brain was working rapidly, and he began to analyze the information revealed by this news and whether it was true or false.
So he didn't speak easily, but said "Oh?" with a thoughtful look on his face, expressing his interest.

Seeing this, Princess Xi said seriously, "There are only interests in politics."

"Even if we have been at loggerheads before, if we find that the benefits of making peace are greater than continuing the war, we will still cooperate."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu asked, "So, is it more beneficial for you to shake hands and make peace now than to go to war?"

Princess Xi said "hmm" lightly.

She said, "Kou Xuan should have guessed that you are supporting me."

"He doesn't have the confidence to defeat you, nor does he want you to interfere in the affairs of Shelter 6."

"So, he hopes to nip the potential danger in the bud: directly reconcile with the royalists and re-govern the Sixth Sanctuary together."

"The condition he offered was that the Crown Prince Kang would continue to be a nominal ruler, but as his mother, I could rule the country from behind the scenes and serve as the No. 1 person in the shelter." "He served as the chief chancellor of the cabinet, or prime minister, and was responsible for all matters, big and small, of the Sixth Shelter."

"I have a veto over all matters. But I do not have personnel or financial power. The 6th Shelter will allocate funds specifically to the royal family to ensure their livelihood."

At this point, Princess Xi paused, then concluded, "Actually, this relationship is similar to the relationship between Prince Kang and the Kou family after Prince Kang became seriously ill."

Qiu Tu frowned slightly when he heard this.

To be honest, what Princess Xi said was true; the reasons and conditions for the negotiation between the Kou family and the royalists were also logical; it was even something that Kou Xuan could do. But Qiu Tu didn't believe it at all.

Politics is indeed all about interests, but reputation and justice are equally important.

Unless they are really forced into a desperate situation, it will be difficult for the Kou family and the royalists to reconcile.

Because it is difficult for them to explain to others why they would forgive the other party for the crime of murdering the monarch/husband.

If this problem is not solved, it would be like leaving a big mine under Shelter 6.

But! The possibility mentioned by Princess Xi also reminded Qiu Tu.

He cannot oppress Princess Xi and the Kou family indefinitely.

If things get really desperate, the two forces will decide that shaking hands and making peace is much better than being oppressed by Qiu Tu. Then Qiu Tu will directly lose the opportunity to intervene in the 6th Shelter.

Among them, the attitude of Princess Xi, the royalist, is particularly crucial.

Because the reason why the Kou family wanted to win over Qiu Tu was because "Princess Xi had the support of Qiu Tu."

Therefore, once Qiu Tu agreed to cooperate with the Kou family, Princess Xi realized that she had no chance of winning and directly turned to the Kou family. The Kou family would definitely not be willing to give up so many benefits to Qiu Tu in exchange for support.

This is simply a circular, mutually restraining triangle, and the three parties must have a game mentality together.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Qiu Tu's face for a moment.

He felt that Princess Xi had something special.
After knowing that the Kou family had contacted her, she did not expose the matter, but cleverly used this method to remind and warn Qiu Tu: she also has the ability to overturn the table.

'It's interesting. It's interesting.'

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu turned his head slightly, and then smiled and said, "Princess, there is actually something I need to communicate with you about."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Princess Xi on the other end of the phone almost used up her lifelong acting skills, "Oh?" and asked, "What's the matter?"

Qiu Tu didn't expose it, and said calmly, "The Kou family also came to see me."

As he spoke, Qiu Tu briefly explained to Princess Xi the communication between him and Su Wanqing.

After hearing this, Princess Xi on the other end of the phone "furious", and then shouted angrily, "This is outrageous! Aren't they deliberately trying to alienate us?!"

Hearing Princess Xi's words, Qiu Tu also said, "Yes. I also think this is alienation."

"So, as soon as Su Wanqing finished explaining her conditions, I told her in no uncertain terms: In this civil war in Shelter 6, I will only support you, Princess Xi!"

"As for other forces, I have no interest in them at all."

"Whether they used Shelter No. 1 to seduce me, used Shan Gen to bribe me, used dozens of foreign beauties to seduce me, or used dozens of boxes of materials to please me."

"I'm not tempted at all."

Princess Xi's eyelids twitched slightly on the other end of the phone.
This is no longer a hint, it's a clear statement.

Qiu Tu, "I still firmly told them that I only support you."

"And if you lose this civil war, then Shelter 6 will no longer exist!"

After hearing Qiu Tu's domineering declaration, the expression on Princess Xi's face became even more subtle.

But what could she say? She could only say calmly, "Master Qiu, don't worry, I can satisfy you with all the conditions promised by the Kou family."

"As long as we win?" This was the question asked by Qiu Tu.

Qiu Tu's simple words directly pointed out the biggest problem in their cooperation: because the Kou family acted too quickly, all the resources promised by Princess Xi were actually in the hands of the Kou family.

All the promises made by Princess Xi now are just empty promises.

Therefore, Princess Xi on the other end of the phone was also frozen for a moment.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu said meaningfully, "Princess, you should be able to meet all the conditions of the Kou family just now."

"But there is one thing that you can't seem to satisfy?"

Princess Xi asked, "What?"

Qiu Tu, "Su Wanqing said that she herself can also be a bargaining chip."

Princess Xi:
Princess Xi on the other end of the phone leaned quietly on a large chair and slowly closed her eyes.
Qiu Tu may have sensed Princess Xi's emotions, and said calmly, "Princess, in fact, you don't have the long-term vision of the Kou family."

"They wanted to bet on me because they saw that my heart wasn't in Shelter 6 at all."

"Shelter 6 is just a stepping stone for me."

"When my strength is accumulated enough, I will jump out of Shelter 6 and head for the wider sky."

"So, if you cooperate with the Kou family, you will need to endure all your life and engage in intrigue all your life."

"And if you work with me, you will only be patient for a while, even a short while."

After hearing Qiu Tu's words, the expression on Princess Xi's face slowly relaxed.

She quietly thought about what Qiu Tu said, as if she was really thinking about the difference.
After a moment, she seemed to have made up her mind, bit her lip, and then said, "I... I may not be able to do that."

"But I can try."

Qiu Tu, who was on the other end of the phone, smiled brightly upon hearing this.
He knew that if he wanted to do something, he couldn't rush it. So he said slowly, "It's okay. We can do it step by step."

"And you can try it in your dreams first."

At this point, Qiu Tu paused and added, "Of course, I'm not forcing you."

He said meaningfully, "I just think that if our relationship is closer, we won't have to worry about our enemies sowing discord."

After hearing Qiu Tu's words, Princess Xi on the other end of the phone bit her lip lightly, as if she was having a struggle between her conscience and her conscience.

But thinking of what Qiu Tu said and the pressing Kou family, Princess Xi was silent for more than ten seconds before responding, "See you in my dreams tonight."

After saying that, she quickly hung up the phone.

Listening to the "beep" sound coming from the receiver, the smile on Qiu Tu's face became even bigger.

"The Emotional Handbook" [108 Ways to Enhance Relationships] No. 83: Breaking the bottom line.

Women's bottom line is broken step by step.

Forcing a closer relationship with a woman in a way that goes beyond the emotional progress or the woman's acceptance level can quickly change the way the two of you get along.

To put it simply: no matter how strong a horse is, once you ride it once, you can ride it again and again.

If you want to conquer a woman of such high status as Princess Xi, you must proceed cautiously and press forward step by step, not letting go of any opportunity.

As long as you can break through a certain limit, you can continue to operate within that limit.

So before, after knowing that Prince Kang was dead, Qiu Tu wanted to find an opportunity to take the relationship with Princess Xi one step further.

As a result, he didn't expect that before he could make a move, the Kou family and Princess Xi had already given him the opportunity.

This was an unexpected surprise.
