Then let them show their loyalty!

Chapter 578: The truth of the past decade! (Please give me a monthly ticket in the last hour)
Having said this, Qiu Tu paused and did not continue.

This abrupt end made Zhao Ji, who had never been happy or sad because of things and even had little curiosity, open her eyes on her own initiative.

She looked up at Qiu Tu beside her, and asked calmly, "What happens next?"

"After that?" Qiu Tu muttered, his eyes a little complicated.

After a moment, he came back to his senses, looked at Zhao Ji, and asked, "Your Highness, do you know what the "Queqiaotai Incident" is?"

Zhao Ji obviously didn't understand such trivial matters. She shook her head slightly.

Qiu Tu explained, “The ‘Queqiaotai Incident’ was the most serious failure that had occurred in the Northwest since the Age of Disasters.”

"It's even more serious than when King Kang was defeated by Yaksha."

"Because King Kang was defeated at that time, the battle line collapsed. But under Kou Xuan's calculations, Yasha was finally severely damaged, resulting in the 6th Sanctuary not only not losing its homeland, but also retaining a lot of newly developed territory."

“But the ‘Partridge Terrace Incident’ was different.”

"Back then, the Lin family led a large army that had swept across half of the northwest region, almost reaching the "Boundless Heart Sea - Core Area"."

"At that time, the Lin family was also in its heyday. Relying on the miraculous effect of the "Butterfly Transformation Gu", they ignored the effect of the "Yellow Phantom" sucking away their vitality and forcibly survived the "Yellow Phantom Disaster."

"Seven fifth-level members in one family!"

"Although five of them are fourth-level peak catastrophists from other families who were recruited by using the "Butterfly Transformation Gu", they also have extremely strong control."

"In addition to a dozen fourth-level masters, there are also first- and second-level Cataclysms who are not afraid of life and death and are trained by the ability of "Butterfly Transformation". "

"The evil gods, anti-government armed forces, and extreme religions surrounding the undeveloped 7th Sanctuary must all unite to face them."

"As a result, just when the two sides were about to have a decisive battle, almost all of the catastrophes of the Lin family suddenly vomited blood and were suddenly injured."

"Such an opportunity was keenly seized by the evil god of the northwest region at that time!"

“So, the fifth-level great evil gods charged in, followed by the fourth-level evil gods, anti-government armed forces, and extreme religions.”

"In just one battle, the elite troops of the Lin family were all killed, and the army of the 7th Shelter was defeated and began to flee."

"The evil god led the anti-government armed forces and extreme religions to hunt down and retake the lost territory along the way."

"Because the Lin family had completely suppressed the Han, Zhao, and Wei families at that time, and they were the only one in power, controlling the military power of the 7th Shelter."

"So, after the failure of the decisive battle, Shelter 7 had no power to resist at all."

"In just a few days, not only were all the developed "unplanned areas" lost, but even the buffer states around the sanctuary began to be invaded."

"According to the path of the evil army, it is estimated that in two days, they will attack the core of the 7th Sanctuary. If they fail to do so, they may even destroy the country." (Chapter 557)
"What's even more troublesome is that the 7th Shelter's central command was destroyed at the front line, and the 7th Shelter was unable to react in time."

"When the elders of Han, Zhao, and Wei came forward to stabilize the situation and wanted to use nuclear weapons to scare off the evil god, they found that it was too late - the evil god had already attacked at their doorstep. Using nuclear weapons would be equivalent to mutual destruction."

"In this situation, the nearest Shelter 8 can only dispatch troops to help and use their flesh and blood to stop the evil god's army."

"After that, King Kang of the 6th Shelter also suspended his sweeping plan and led his troops to provide support."

"After that, the masters from the 4th and 5th shelters joined the battle one after another. Only then did they stabilize the situation, repel the attack of the evil god's army, and save the 7th shelter."

"Because this incident had such a huge impact, and the place where the Lin family and the evil god fought the final battle was "Partridge Terrace", it is also called the "Partridge Terrace Incident." "

"Over the years, all the major shelters have actually been investigating the truth of the "Partridge Terrace Incident." However, because the top leaders of the Lin family were wiped out at the time, almost all the people involved died, so not much can be found out."

"So, in the end, the case can only be closed as "the Lin family's battle plan was too radical and they did not make good multi-layer defense deployment, which led to the military defeat." (Chapter 557)
At this point, Qiu Tu paused and said something objective, "Of course, in fact, the "Queqiaotai Incident" was indeed the result of the Lin family's consecutive victories, which led to underestimating the enemy and advancing rashly without proper defense, leading to their defeat."

"If they had not pushed all their forces forward when they had such a great advantage, and had kept one or two corps in the rear to hold the line or deploy defenses, they might not have been defeated so badly and almost destroyed."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji nodded slightly with a thoughtful look in her eyes.

"But." At this point, Qiu Tu changed the subject and said with a deep look, "This matter is ultimately caused by the mysterious serious injuries of all the disasters of the Lin family."

Qiu Tu glanced at Zhao Ji and began to bring the topic back to Princess Xi.

"Over the years, the Kou family has been investigating Princess Xi. Through a lot of intelligence and clues, the Kou family speculated that the mysterious injuries of all the disasters of the Lin family that year were probably related to Princess Xi."

After hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji's cold face showed a hint of hesitation.

After a moment, she slowly said, "Poison or curse type catastrophic ability?"

Qiu Tu nodded. The smile on his face slowly faded, and then he said, "That's what the Kou family guessed."

"They speculated that Princess Xi was treated as a "cow" and kept producing milk."

"All the anger and desire for revenge she had accumulated made her 'revenge' path progress rapidly. It is very likely that she was promoted to the third level on or before the incident at the Partridge Terrace and gained a second ability."

"And this ability is most likely a poison or curse ability."

"In addition, after reaching the third stage of the Cataclysm, the first ability will also be strengthened."

"So it's possible that a magical chemical reaction occurred, allowing her to curse all those who "stole" her abilities, or those who "stole" her abilities and were hated by her for "revenge". "

"This directly caused all of the Lin family's Cataclysms to be injured. Although they were not seriously injured, in such a decisive battle, it still became the fuse of the defeat."

After listening to Qiu Tu's explanation, Zhao Ji thought quietly for a moment, and then slowly said, "It is not necessarily promoted to the third level by "Revenge". "

"If her path to catastrophe is really "revenge", then she cannot gain power without "revenge" while imprisoned."

"It's probably a case of confusing cause and effect."

"Confusing cause and effect?" Qiu Tu had indeed never heard of this, so he looked at Zhao Ji strangely.

Zhao Ji said "hmm" calmly, and then said, "It's a very rare phenomenon."

"Generally, this phenomenon can only be triggered by a catastrophist whose spirit is "extremely pure" when the pressure is extreme."

She explained, "You know, the 'Boundless Heart Sea' is a spiritual world, and the essence of the power of catastrophe is actually spiritual power."

“So, when a person’s spirit is extremely pure, then some miracles may happen to him.”

"For example, to gain the favor of the world's will, "first gain power at a huge price, and then fulfill the promise after gaining power." "

Qiu Tu's eyes moved slightly when he heard this, and then he analyzed, "So what you mean is that Princess Xi was probably oppressed to the extreme at that time, so she made a wish to seek revenge and kill all the high-ranking officials of the Lin family after she was promoted to the third level?"

Zhao Ji nodded slightly, "Almost."

She said, "This phenomenon is rare. But it has happened a few times. The easiest way to tell is to see if her strength increases afterwards."

"Because of her revenge, the Lin family was wiped out, millions of people were killed, and thousands of miles of land were devastated. This level of "revenge" must have not only paid the price she promised in the beginning, but also made her strength soar by leaps and bounds."

Hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu nodded slightly, and then said, "Princess Xi was indeed very powerful at the time. According to Kou Xuan, when she joined Prince Kang's camp, she was already at the fourth level."

Perhaps confirming her guess, Zhao Ji nodded slightly, then closed her eyes expressionlessly, preparing to continue practicing.

As a result, Qiu Tu spoke again at this time.

He said, "Also, there are problems with the relationship between Princess Xi and Prince Kang."

Zhao Ji:.
Zhao Ji slowly opened her eyes and looked at Qiu Tu sharply. Qiu Tu coughed twice awkwardly, then said, "If you don't want to listen, I can keep silent."

Zhao Ji:.
Zhao Ji did not answer the question directly, but looked at Qiu Tu coldly, and then said in a calm tone, "Do you feel that I have been more tolerant of you recently, so you have begun to ignore me?"

Hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu said in bewilderment, "I didn't take you seriously in the first place."

Zhao Ji's breath stagnated, and she was about to explode.

As a result, she heard Qiu Tu say sincerely, "After all, I have always respected and admired you, Your Highness, in my heart."

"Besides, I really don't respect or admire you just because you are better than me, Your Highness."

"In the beginning, I didn't have much of a fondness for you. I thought you were just a deity who was prettier, stronger, and knew more."

"But after getting to know you in depth, I realized that you are the best in the world in terms of appearance, inner qualities, talent, strength, character, and will."

"So, I respect and admire you from the bottom of my heart."

After hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji looked at Qiu Tu quietly, just looking at him.

To be honest, Qiu Tu felt that he had figured out Zhao Ji's character, but at that moment, he still felt a little guilty.

What? Did the flattery fail? Did the method of first suppressing and then praising fail?
"Not the best in the world, but number one." After saying that, Zhao Ji closed her eyes in satisfaction and said calmly, "Okay, go on."

Qiu Tu:
Damn it. You can even find an opportunity to show off here?

Qiu Tu feels that his learning journey is still long and arduous.

While thinking this, Qiu Tu also pulled back his thoughts and continued, "Back then, when the "Queqiaotai Incident" ended, the Lin family was almost destroyed, leaving only some old, weak and sick people."

"The destruction of the core layer has resulted in almost no one knowing Princess Xi's secret. Except for Prince Kang and his wife."

This made Zhao Ji a little confused. She said "Hmm?" and then asked, "Why?"

Qiu Tu said, "Because, although the queen's surname is Kou, she and Princess Xi are cousins."

"Her mother was from the Lin family, and her grandfather was one of the core members of the Lin family. When she followed her mother back to the Lin family to visit relatives, she accidentally learned this secret and told King Kang." (Chapter 572)
Zhao Ji's expression remained unchanged, but there was a hint of realization in her eyes.

Qiu Tu said seriously, "Prince Kang is ambitious and extremely talented. After knowing Princess Xi's secret, he certainly doesn't want to miss out on this "strategic weapon."

"That's why, after saving the 7th Sanctuary, he instructed the Queen to have more contact with Princess Xi and win her favor."

"Princess Xi did not want to stay in the Lin family because of the sufferings the Lin family had suffered. So after receiving warmth from the Queen, she mustered up her courage and went to King Kang's camp." (Chapter 490, Chapter 557)
"That's why the story spread in all the major shelters that Princess Xi was ambitious and abandoned her family to follow Prince Kang."

At this point, Qiu Tu paused, and then said in a deep tone, "Later, it was the same as King Kang and the Lin family. They almost reached the "Boundless Heart Sea-Core Area", but the "Wuyin Society" sent Yaksha to advance to the 6th level."

"Back then, Yaksha directly defeated the quasi-level 6 King Kang, leaving him seriously injured." (Chapter 510, Chapter 557)
At this point, Qiu Tu's eyes showed a hint of pity. He said, "Actually, when I learned about this, I had some doubts."

"King Kang is so easily sick now. How did he escape and recover after being attacked by Yaksha when he was promoted?"

Zhao Ji was obviously listening carefully. She asked, "Butterfly transformation?"

Qiu Tu said, "Hmm," and it's the 'original Gu' of the 'Butterfly Transformation Gu'. That's Princess Xi."

"In order to save their own lives, he and the queen pushed Princess Xi off the cliff after she regained her sight and gained a new life. They knocked her unconscious and took away her virginity."

"It was the power of the 'Original Gu' that saved King Kang, who was half buried in the ground."

As Qiu Tu finished speaking, the room suddenly became quiet.

Even with Zhao Ji's calm state of mind, it seemed to be broken.

She sat quietly for a while, put away her posture, and stopped practicing.

She looked at Qiu Tu and asked, "So, Lin Xi hated them so much and started a new round of revenge?"

"Not only did he poison the queen, but he also secretly poisoned King Kang for the next decade or so, and eventually poisoned him to death?"

Qiu Tu said calmly, "I don't know about that."

"These are all palace secrets. No one knows whether they are true or false except the parties involved."

"But the Kou family meant that some of these secrets were told to them by King Kang."

"And the reason why Prince Kang handed over power to the Kou family instead of Princess Xi after he became seriously ill was because he suspected that Princess Xi had poisoned him."

"Even the half hour he was awake every day, he was constantly handing over power to the Kou family. This is the reason." (Chapter 523)
After hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji nodded slightly with an expressionless face, showing her understanding.

After chatting with Zhao Ji about these secret things, Qiu Tu stretched and said, "But... these are all things of the past."

"Although I sympathize with Princess Xi and want to help her, politics cannot be based on sympathy, but on interests."

"Well, actually the Kou family gave too much."

At this point, Qiu Tu paused, then added with a smile, "Of course, I'm not the kind of person who will turn his back on you once you've pulled up your pants. I've already found a way out for Princess Xi."

"That path might even make her like it better than this one."

After saying that, Qiu Tu waved his hand towards Zhao Ji and said, "Alright. The fight over there is almost over, it's my turn to take action."

"Your Highness, I will chat with you when I come back."

After saying that, Qiu Tu's figure lowered, and his "body" slowly withered and shrank, and soon turned into a small puppet.

It turned out to be the substitute prop that Qiu Tu often used: the Bugou dummy.

Zhao Ji looked at the wrinkled mannequin on the ground, and couldn't help but recall the scene when Qiu Tu came to find her today.

At that time, she saw at a glance that Qiu Tu was a fake person. She thought Qiu Tu was crazy enough to use a fake person to tease her in order to escape being hunted down.

As a result, who knew that Qiu Tu didn't do that.

He just sighed, and then said that he knew some secrets and felt a little depressed.

He was about to start another big fight, so he wanted to talk to me and show off in front of me to increase his favorability.

That interesting speech made Zhao Ji keep him.

As a result, the two of them have been chatting until now.

'What a weird guy.'

After silently evaluating Qiu Tu in her heart, Zhao Ji slowly closed her eyes and wanted to practice some more.

But for some reason, her mood seemed to be affected and she couldn't calm down.

So after hesitating for a moment, she opened her eyes and stopped practicing.
She raised her head and looked to the northwest, where Shelter 6 was located. Her sight seemed to penetrate the distance of time and space, looking at the two forces that were fighting fiercely.
