Then let them show their loyalty!

Chapter 582 Incredible forces from all sides!
"It seems like a fight has broken out in Wangbei City."

"There are suspected battles between several high-level Cataclysms in Wangbei City."

"There should be a conflict between the royalists and Qiu Tu's faction."

"I sensed the auras of multiple fifth-level Cataclysms."

"Report it, report it quickly!"

The army of Dongye Province set out not in one or two days, but more than a week. So during these days, all parties, whether sensitive or slow, had almost guessed the plan of Qiu Tu and Princess Xi.

——Using the killing of the messenger group as an excuse, he intervened in the 6th shelter and joined forces to deal with the Kou family.

This conclusion, along with the Dongyezhou army's movements along the way and the proactive welcoming attitude of Princess Xi's party, had already become the consensus of all the top leaders in the Northwest region.

Almost all the high-level officials in the Northwest region have tacitly accepted the cooperation between Qiu Tu and Princess Xi, and are waiting for the biggest changes in the Sixth Shelter that have not been seen in decades.

Who would have thought that the two would end up falling out? And even fight?
This sudden reversal really caught everyone by surprise. After all, it was completely different from what was expected.

This also led to the first reaction of many senior executives: Could it be that I am overthinking it? Did Qiu Tu's people really go to deal with the murder of the envoys?
Then the two sides failed to reach an agreement, and Princess Xi was too arrogant, so they started fighting?

So, this world is really a huge makeshift team?

However, apart from these senior executives who were somewhat skeptical about their lives, there were also some senior executives who, after hearing the news and being shocked, still sensed something was amiss.
Sanctuary No. 8, formerly the "Officer Academy", now the "Sanctuary No. 8 Central Academy". Dean's office.

The new leader of the academy faction, a senior member of the shelter, and the dean of the Central Academy, Huang Shangzong, was sitting on the sofa entertaining guests accompanied by Xue'er.

On the sofa opposite him, there were two people sitting: a man and a girl.

The man was not tall, had an old face, a wrinkled body, and cloudy eyes, giving people a feeling that he was about to decay.

It turned out to be the current second-in-command of the academic faction, the new Speaker of the Nanqu State Assembly, Yan Chen.

The girl is of course Qiu Tu’s little bitch Yanyan.

As the winners of this academic purge operation, second only to Qiu Tu, Huang Shangzong and Yan Chen have both risen rapidly and made great progress.

In contrast, the strength of their faction, the "academic faction", declined sharply. Not only were many middle-level managers transferred to idle positions, but even the top management was purged.

Originally the third largest faction in Sanctuary 8, the Academics had 1 Vice President and 6-7 members in the Supreme Council.

As a result, there are only two people now: Huang Shangzong and another academic leader who doesn't care about worldly affairs. And they are only at the level of parliamentarians.

As for the other core members of the faction, they are all far from being at the top. Only Yan Chen has a chance to become a high-ranking member of the Sanctuary and a member of the Supreme Council.

Of course, this is not an easy task, and he needs to make some political achievements in Nanquzhou.

It can be said that the entire "academic school" has declined extremely badly, and it can almost be said that it has never recovered. This has also led to a bit of decadence among the academics.

Even Huang Shangzong and Yan Chen were not happy.
Looking at Yan Chen, Huang Shangzong, the head of the academic faction, had a deep gaze. He said in a deep voice, "Nanqu Prefecture is one of the earliest states opened up by our shelter. The situation there is relatively stable, but it is also difficult to achieve political achievements."

"But no matter what, being able to go to the southern states is progress, and you have to hold on no matter how difficult it is."

"Now the academic school can only rely on a few of us."

"So, if you need any support, you can call me and I will help you as much as possible."

Hearing Huang Shangzong's words, Yan Chen's old right hand stroked the back of his left hand, and then said in a hoarse voice, "It's just a Nanquzhou, it can't be a problem for me. I can rely on myself."

"But... I want long-term intelligence support."

"Intelligence support?" Huang Shangzong was a little puzzled. He frowned and looked at Yan Chen with a broad and resolute face. "What kind of intelligence support?"

Yan Chen looked at Huang Shangzong with his cloudy eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Qiu Tu's. I hope you can tell me if he has any changes."

At this point, Yan Chen paused and said, "For example, before I came in just now, I seemed to hear that Qiu Tu and Princess Xi had a falling out?"

Although this information involved Qiu Tu, Yan Chen's confidentiality level was sufficient, so Huang Shangzong did not avoid Yan Chen at that time.

Now hearing Yan Chen's question, he thought for a moment and then told him all the information he had obtained.

After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh, "In fact, I have been paying attention to Qiu Tu's actions this time. At that time, I also thought that Qiu Tu and Princess Xi were working together from the inside and outside."

"I didn't expect it to turn out that I guessed wrong."

After hearing Huang Shangzong's words, Yan Chen and Yanyan beside him had a somewhat subtle expression for a moment.

Perhaps noticing the change in his daughter's expression, Yan Chen turned his head and looked at her with neither joy nor sadness.

Yanyan put away the expression on her face and returned to her innocent and naive look.

Yan Chen sighed slightly in his heart, then turned around and said softly, "Old Huang, you underestimated Qiu Tu."

"You've dealt with him before. His mind is like an onion, with layers upon layers."

"You think he's on the second floor, but he might be on the third or fourth floor."

Yan Chen paused, then analyzed, "It is very likely true that he and Princess Xi had colluded with each other."

"The disappearance of the envoys is too coincidental. Princess Xi must have made preparations long ago to seize the border states."

"As for the current falling out between the two, it could be a play to trick the Kou family; or it could be that Qiu Tu betrayed Princess Xi and chose to cooperate with the Kou family."

Compared with Yan Chen's political literacy, Huang Shangzong is obviously far behind.

However, after experiencing a series of recent events, he has gained an additional advantage, which is that he is willing to accept suggestions humbly.

He leaned on the sofa, tapping the armrest with his thick knuckles, thinking quietly.

After a moment, he nodded slightly and said affirmatively, "I think it makes sense."

"From this perspective, Qiu Tu may indeed have chosen to cooperate with the Kou family."

"That makes sense. After all, the Kou family is stronger and can provide him with greater help."

Hearing his words, Yan Chen nodded slightly, his eyes flickering a little.

To be honest, he was just giving this example randomly.

If he were to analyze it carefully, he actually felt that Qiu Tu was likely to be far beyond the 3rd level, and very likely to be at the 4th or 5th level.

But he had too little information about the 6th Shelter, and he knew too little about the 6th Shelter, so he couldn't guess what Qiu Tu wanted to do for a while.
But based on his understanding of Qiu Tu, he felt that Qiu Tu's involvement in the affairs of Shelter 6 should not be that simple.
At the same time, in Shelter 8, in the courtyard where Rao Shou was staying.

Rao Shou did not go fishing today, but was playing chess with Tang Wanfeng.

Rao Shou played with white pieces and Tang Wanfeng played with black pieces. While they were playing, they were chatting about the situation in Shelter No. 6.

"Pah." Rao Shou dropped a white chess piece onto the chessboard and said slowly while staring at the chessboard, "Qiu Tu really likes to play cards out of the ordinary."

"I originally thought he was working with Princess Xi, but now it seems that the person he is working with should be the Kou family."

Tang Wanfeng also stared at the chessboard, then nodded slightly, "Yes."

"I heard that not long ago, Su Wanqing, one of the ten outstanding members of the Kou family, went to Dongyezhou and talked with him several times."

"It is very likely that he was convinced at that time."

Rao Shou heard this and his eyes showed a trace of deep thought, "Su Wanqing"

He commented, "That girl is indeed not a simple person."

He stood up, looked far away, and said, "There are some things that we have to admit. Luck may really exist in this world."

"Two stars in one family, ten heroes. Each of them is a genius."

"The Kou family has been dormant in the northwest for so many years, and it is indeed time for it to flourish in this generation."

"Cooperating with the Kou family is indeed a better choice for Qiu Tu."

"If we can really conquer the Kou family, Qiu Tu might be able to make further progress."

After hearing what Rao Shou said, Tang Wanfeng pondered for a moment, then gently played with the black chess piece in his hand.

"To be honest, I don't think this is Qiu Tu's style."

"Because of Fei Yatou, I know him better. I don't think he is someone who likes to break contracts or betray others."

"Although we old guys don't think highly of his character."

"But if you look back at his experiences, he was extremely kind to his own people or those who followed him."

"Although he laughs and scolds, and schemes and plots, he always has a bottom line." "So, I don't think he is someone who would betray Princess Xi and cooperate with the Kou family."

Hearing Tang Wanfeng's words, the expression on Rao Shou's face slowly disappeared. He played with the chess piece in his hand, thinking quietly.

After a moment, he said hesitantly, "But, if he doesn't betray Princess Xi, what else can he do?"

"There is only one Shelter 6. He can't just split the shelter into two, give it to Princess Xi and the Kou family, and then become the boss himself, right?"

Speaking of this, Rao Shoudu couldn't help but laugh.

But after laughing twice, the expression on his face suddenly froze.

With a "crack", the chess piece in his hand was crushed by him.

Tang Wanfeng looked at him in confusion, then asked, "What's wrong?"

Rao Shouqiang smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, it's okay. I must have thought too much."

He threw away the broken chess piece in his hand, and then said, "No matter how crazy Qiu Tu is, he wouldn't want to interfere with two shelters at the same time, right?"

"If there is no legitimate reason and excuse, he will be attacked by everyone."

He shook his head and said, "So, it's impossible, impossible."

However, even though he said this, the smile on his face was still a little forced.
At this moment, Tang Wanfeng obviously understood what Rao Shou meant. His expression suddenly changed.

But like Rao Shou, after thinking about it carefully for two rounds, he also found it a little hard to believe.
"That shouldn't be the case, right?"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look up in the direction of Shelter 7.
Meanwhile, Shelter 7.

The head of the Zhao family, the elder Zhao Pan, was also listening to the report from the intelligence personnel.

When he heard that Qiu Tu and Princess Xi had a falling out, his expression was a little hesitant for a moment.

'Falling out?'

Today, Cheng Honggang, the head of the Cheng family, Yudie's original family in Fengqizhou, contacted him and said that he suspected that the beautiful speaker Yudie beside Qiu Tu was the "Lu Ding" of the Cheng family who escaped that year.

Later, Cheng Hong was worried that Yudie and Qiu Tu would join forces to harm the Cheng family, and even used this as an excuse to interfere in the affairs of the 7th Shelter.

But he was really a little worried about it.

After all, Qiu Tu's personal strength is too strong. If combined with Princess Xi's control of the 6th Shelter, he will be the undisputed uncrowned king of the Northwest region.

At that time, if he really puts pressure on Shelter 7, he will stand up for Yudie.

To be honest, even Elder Zhao would not dare to confront him. He would most likely choose to sacrifice the Cheng family and kill them to silence them.

As a result, Qiu Tu and Princess Xi had a falling out.

This immediately relieved the pressure in his heart, and also gave him the leisure time to watch the fun.

After all, one of his great pleasures was to watch these once powerful forces fall from grace.

The Lin family was like this back then, King Kang was like this, and Qiu Tu is like this now.
And at this moment, just as he was thinking this.

Suddenly, the phone on his desk rang again.

Elder Zhao picked up the receiver, but before he could say anything, the anxious voice of an intelligence officer came from the receiver on the other end of the line, "Elder, something happened, something happened."

"The two stars of the Kou family have also arrived in the border state, Wangbei City. But, they brought the entire Lin family with them."

"The Lin family?" Elder Zhao didn't react for a moment. "Which Lin family?"

The intelligence officer said, "It's the Lin family, the Lin family that founded our shelter."

Hearing the intelligence officer's words, Elder Zhao's expression changed slightly.

He is just bad, not stupid, as he is able to become one of the controllers of a shelter and discover the value of the "Dual Path Experiment" and the "Butterfly Transformation Gu".

He had looked down on Qiu Tu before because he didn't know him that well. Now that the intelligence and clues were in front of him, how could he still not understand what Qiu Tu, the Kou family, Princess Xi, and the Lin family were doing!
For a moment, he was stunned there. After a moment, he laughed out of anger, "How dare you!"

"Crazy! A bunch of lunatics! Do they really think that we three families can be manipulated by others just by keeping a low profile?!"

"It's not enough to interfere with the 6th shelter, but you also want to support Princess Xi to investigate the 7th shelter!?"

"Does he really think the Northwest region is his home?"

After scolding, Elder Zhao shouted softly, "Talk again and report again!"

Then he hung up the phone with a "click"!

After hanging up the phone, he walked back and forth in the study with a serious expression, then picked up the phone and said, "Prepare a car for me, I want to go to the Han family!"

At the same time, in the 6th Shelter, Wangbei City, the City Lord's Mansion.

At this time, the City Lord's Mansion had been surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside by soldiers who had rushed over after hearing the news.

But as Qiu Tu analyzed before, in a world with extraordinary powers, the power of ordinary soldiers is too small.

What's more, Qiu Tu also came with an army.

In fact, the troops stationed in Wangbei City were far less than the 90,000 troops in Dongye Province.

Therefore, all the forces at the scene maintained relative restraint.

At this time, in the City Lord’s Mansion.

Qiu Tu and Princess Xi also met with Kou Xuan.

According to the information, Kou Xuan is in his thirties, but maybe because of his strong ability and good maintenance, he looks like a pretty boy in his early twenties.

He was wearing a green Hanfu suit, made of high-quality fabric, delicate and elegant. He had a jade pendant tied around his waist, which was as smooth as mutton fat and had a soft luster under the sunlight.

When he saw Qiu Tu, he bowed with a smile, then gestured to the back and said, "Chairman Qiu, these are all the family members of the Lin family now."

"After you arranged for me, I sent people to find and persuade them. They all volunteered to come to Shelter No. 6 and agreed that Lin Xi would become their new head of the family."

Hearing Kou Xuan's words, Qiu Tu also smiled, "Lord Kou is very thorough, this is the best. It saves a lot of trouble."

Princess Xi's gaze fell indifferently on the group of Lin family members behind Kou Xuan.

Because it is already spring, the Lin family's clothes have begun to become thinner.

So, judging from their exposed arms, the scars on their chests, and their timid expressions, they did it voluntarily.

However, she didn't have much of a good impression of the Lin family, so she looked away with an indifferent expression and listened to the conversation between Qiu Tu and Kou Xuan again.

Kou Xuan, "How does Speaker Qiu plan to deal with those core members of the royalist faction?"

Qiu Tu glanced at Princess Xi, and then said, "I was chatting with the princess just now. The princess meant that Ji Yuan, Xu Yun, and Du Wenzhong can all be trusted."

"Xiao Huan and Li Hanxiang were the leaders of the royalist civil and military officials, and she couldn't suppress them."

Hearing this, Kou Xuan glanced at Princess Xi, then looked at Qiu Tu, and asked tentatively, "Then?"

This time, before Qiu Tu could say anything, Princess Xi said indifferently, "Xiao Huan and Li Hanxiang were the masterminds behind the murder of the envoys. Their crime is unforgivable."

In a word, cold and emotionless.

Qiu Tu and Kou Xuan looked at each other and smiled.

It has to be said that perhaps the three of them were cold-blooded political creatures, so their cooperation was particularly smooth and coordinated, and the entire plan was implemented extremely smoothly.

That afternoon, Princess Xi arrested Xiao Huan and Li Hanxiang on suspicion of murdering the 8th Shelter Mission.

Immediately afterwards, the Dongyezhou army began to merge with the royalist army.

There were cronies of Xiao Huan and Li Hanxiang within the royalist faction, but under the strong suppression of Qiu Tu and Kou Xuan, some were arrested and some disappeared without a trace.

That night, the Lin family held an extremely depressing ceremony. Princess Xi, or Lin Xi, officially became the new head of the Lin family and had the qualifications to become one of the four giants of the 7th Shelter.
