Then let them show their loyalty!

Chapter 583: The evil Qiu Tu is extending his claws to the northwest region ( words for monthly tickets)
Now the entire 6th Shelter is the core of the Northwest Region. It won’t take long for the 6th Shelter’s every move to spread throughout the entire Northwest Region.

What’s more important is that Qiu Tu had no intention of hiding all this; everything was being carried out and advanced in an upright manner.

Therefore, spies from all parties transmitted all the information on the scene, no matter how big or small, back to the senior officials in the Northwest region almost in a live broadcast.

Therefore, it didn’t take long for almost all the forces to know about the great changes that had taken place in Shelter No. 6.

I guessed Qiu Tu's purpose.
"Crazy, really a madman."

Huang Shangzong looked at the intelligence and internal analysis in his hands, and the shock on his broad and resolute face was almost unconcealable.

Having worked with Qiu Tu for a period of time, he has a certain understanding of Qiu Tu.

He had long known that Qiu Tu liked to do things in extremes, walking on a tightrope, and often his actions were extremely crazy.

But! He really didn't expect it to be so crazy
Qiu Tu's visit to Shelter No. 6 was clearly to win over one side and attack the other, in order to destroy the unity of Shelter No. 6.

So Qiu Tu joined in? He united the two forces of Shelter 6 and prepared to go to war against Shelter 7?!

This crazy idea almost made a politician like Huang Shangzong, who has average political skills, lose his brain.

How can politics be played like this?!
And then I think about the fact that the Dongyezhou army passed through the 7th shelter Fengqizhou, and turned around and left 575 troops there, claiming to be protecting logistics (Chapter )
This was definitely premeditated!

However, although he doesn't understand politics, Huang Shangzong is still quite capable in military affairs.

As a person ranked in the top 8 in military capability in the 3th Shelter, he calmed down and analyzed the comparison of the forces of several parties. To be honest, he was not optimistic about Qiu Tu.

After all, although Qiu Tu has the top combat power ranked first in the Northwest region, the 6th Shelter has the best comprehensive strength in the Northwest region.

But one plus one does not necessarily equal two.

With a forced integration like Qiu Tu and the royalists, the army's real combat effectiveness is questionable.

Moreover, you have to know that in the 6th Shelter, Kou Xuan is mainly responsible for economy, logistics, and politics, and does not know much about military affairs.

The god of war of the 6th Sanctuary is King Kang. The next is the high-ranking royalist who has been imprisoned, the governor of Yanzhou and Kangzhou, Xiao Heng!

After that, it was Kou Yu, one of the two stars of the Kou family.

But Qiu Tu's plan this time was obviously to have two shelters and take over both.

The 6th Sanctuary is jointly governed by Qiu Tu and the Kou family; the 7th Sanctuary is jointly governed by Qiu Tu and Princess Xi.

Therefore, Qiu Tu would never allow the Kou family to participate in this war.

"Are you planning to let Tang Feifei command this war?"

It's not that Huang Shangzong looked down on Tang Feifei. Tang Feifei's military ability is indeed outstanding, but it is still too immature.

Many problems were exposed when we pacified the two states of Tian and Di.

Although I am much more mature now, I still feel some pressure to command such a large-scale war.

"We can't let Princess Xi command this battle, can we?"

"Princess Xi is an excellent politician, but I haven't heard that she has much military ability."

"Could it be that she actually studied under King Kang? Did she learn some of King Kang's skills?"

Because there was too little information, Huang Shangzong had no idea for the time being.

However, he was not very optimistic about Qiu Tu's plan this time. Politically, he was impeccable; militarily, he was just a rookie.

Anyway, whoever takes over that mess will have a headache.
At the same time, in Shelter 8, in the courtyard of Rao Shou.

Several moss-covered stones of various shapes are arranged in an orderly manner to form a small and exquisite pond.

In the pond, several koi fish were swimming happily in the water.

By the pond, Tang Wanfeng and Rao Shouzheng were looking at each other.

The relaxed look they had during the day was no longer on their faces, but was instead filled with depth and shock.

After a few seconds of silence, Rao Shou shook his head and sighed twice, then commented, "Young people are really energetic. They dare to do this."

At this point, he added calmly, "Fortunately, we cut ties openly early on. Otherwise, it would have been too easy to be dragged into this."

After saying that, he thought for a moment and added, "In this way, even if he fails, we can still serve as his retreat and protect him."

“In an era of great contention, we humans cannot just think about stability, we also need to be radical and to explode.”

"But...when you explode, don't forget to prepare a retreat."

"Otherwise it will be like the 'Partridge Terrace Incident.'" Tang Wanfeng added.

Rao Shou heard this and nodded slightly.

The Quail Terrace Incident was the most tragic defeat of the Northwest humans in their fight against the evil gods. It still has a profound impact on the thinking of the top leaders of the three major shelters in the Northwest.

Consider failure before considering victory. This has become the life principle for the top leaders of the three shelters.

However, compared to Rao Shou’s relatively neutral perspective, Tang Wanfeng is obviously more inclined towards Qiu Tu because of Tang Feifei.

After two seconds of silence, he asked, "Lao Rao, do you think Qiu Tu and the others have a good chance?"

Upon hearing this question, Rao Shou did not answer immediately. He closed his eyes and deduced the current military strength of Qiu Tu's side and the 7th Shelter in his mind, comparing their comprehensive strength.

After a moment, he opened his eyes and said pertinently, "Compared to the 6th Shelter, intervening in the 7th Shelter will actually be more complicated and troublesome."

"Because when Qiu Tu intervened in the 6th Shelter, he obtained the consent of the two major forces in the 6th Shelter, which can be regarded as support."

"The scope of the war will be very small, and the impact and opposition will be much smaller."

"Although Qiu Tu relied on the Lin family and Princess Xi to gain legal support for intervening in the 7th Shelter."

"But, after all, the Lin family has withdrawn from the core power of the 7th Sanctuary for many years, and the Han, Zhao, and Wei families have already completely controlled the 7th Sanctuary."

"This is a new order challenging the old order. It will involve bloodshed and fierce fighting."

"In this case, we can't just decapitate the threat like we did in Sanctuary 6. We must fight with an upright army and defeat Sanctuary 7."

At this point, Rao Shou shook his head slightly and came to a similar conclusion as Huang Shangzong, "Qiu Tu is still developing too fast, and the talent pool at his disposal cannot keep up. At least, I don't remember him having such military talents under his command."

After hearing what Rao Shou said, Tang Wanfeng's expression became even more serious.

He nodded slightly and was about to say a few more words.

As a result, at this moment, suddenly, Tang Wanfeng's secretary came over hurriedly with the phone in his hand.

Normally, Shelter No. 1 and No. 2 hold secret meetings, and the secretary is not allowed to come in unless there is something important.

When the secretary came in, it must have been because something big had to interrupt this secret meeting.

So the two of them couldn't help but stop talking and looked up at the secretary.

Under the gaze of the two men, the secretary quickly came to their side.

He bowed slightly to Rao Shou first, and after seeing Rao Shou nod, he held the phone, walked to Tang Wanfeng, bent down, and whispered, "Mr. Tang, Qiu Tu is looking for you."

Hearing that it was Qiu Tu, Tang Wanfeng was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but look at Rao Shou.

The yard is so small, and Rao Shou is a fifth-level Cataclysm, so he can't hide anything the secretary says.

So he couldn't help but look at Tang Wanfeng.

The two old men looked at each other from a distance, and there was a hint of deep thought in their eyes.

"Give it to me." Tang Wanfeng retracted his gaze from Rao Shou and stretched out his hand to the secretary.

The secretary quickly and respectfully handed the communicator to Tang Wanfeng.

Tang Wanfeng took the phone, stood up, walked aside, and started talking to Qiu Tu.

Following this phone call, the courtyard suddenly became extremely quiet, with only Tang Wanfeng's voice echoing there.

"So that's what you want?"

"I can't make up my mind about that."

“I need to ask Speaker Rao.”

Two minutes later, Mr. Tang hung up the phone, then walked to Rao Shou with a strange look on his face and said to him, "Qiu Tu wants to borrow someone."

"Borrow someone?" Rao Shou was stunned for a moment.

Tang Wanfeng waved to the secretary, signaling him to go out first.

The secretary knew that the following conversation should be the biggest secret in the Northwest region, so he quickly took the communicator with both hands and left the backyard.

After he left, Tang Wanfeng said to Rao Shou with a smile, "Qiu Tu was crying poor on the phone, saying that he had too few talents and no military talents at all. He could only let Fei Yatou take over as the main general of this war."

"Then he 'threatened' me again, saying that he trusted Tang Feifei anyway and thought that Tang Feifei would definitely win." "As for whether we believed it or not, he didn't care."

For a moment, Rao Shou was a little amused and helpless by Qiu Tu's shamelessness.

He asked unhappily, "Who does he want to borrow from?"

Tang Wanfeng pointed at Rao Shou.

Rao Shou was stunned for a moment, then he laughed in anger, "Nonsense! I am Shelter No. 1, helping him fight? If this gets out, what will happen?"

Tang Wanfeng seemed to have guessed Rao Shou's reaction. He said, "Qiu Tu said that he felt that only you, the number one warlord in the northwest, could guarantee victory in this battle."

"And if you don't want to, then you can send Huang Shangzong and Yan Chen to assist Tang Feifei."

Rao Shou:.
As a top politician, how could Rao Shou not see through that Qiu Tu and Tang Wanfeng were using the "window principle".

He was even more confused. He reached out and pointed at Tang Wanfeng, "Old Tang, you, you. Your son-in-law is just a grandson-in-law, it may not work out. You are just turning your elbow outward."

Tang Wanfeng said with a serious face, "Qiu Tu said that this has nothing to do with our personal relationship. He just wanted to say: No matter what time, Shelter 8 will always be his mother's home."

Coming from someone like Qiu Tu who values ​​his promises, this sentence is quite heavy.

So Rao Shou also became serious for a moment.

He pondered for a moment, then said, "It seems that Qiu Tu has been eyeing Huang Shangzong and Yan Chen for a long time."

"Okay, since he wants it, give it to him."

"But... never mind the question of whether he is from my mother's family or not. I just hope that if anything happens to him in the future, it won't involve Shelter 8."

"Everything is just their private behavior, private behavior."

At this point, the two old foxes looked at each other, with a lot more smiles in their eyes.
So, 10 minutes later, Huang Shangzong, who was called in front of the two leaders, listened to Rao Shou's decision in a daze.

Although his calm expression did not change, he had only one thought in his mind:
'What? Me?'

'I am the one who cleaned up that mess.?'

At the same time. Shelter No. 6, Border State, Wangbei City.

Qiu Tu, Kou Xuan, and Princess Xi were also talking there.

Qiu Tu took the main seat as expected, and said in a deep voice, "The military commander has been determined now."

“The whole operation is divided into two parts.”

"Tomorrow, both of you will send a letter to invite me to participate in the coordination of Shelter No. 6."

"Tomorrow, the reinforcements I found will come to help Speaker Tang integrate the army."

"Once the integration is complete, the Dongye Province & Royalist Alliance will leave the border states and head to Fengqi Province."

"At that time, we will make a three-party announcement. Sanctuary 6 will completely abolish the monarchy and switch to a parliamentary system."

"And the princess, as the head of the Lin family, requested to return to the 7th Sanctuary and take back the power of the Lin family."

"If everything goes well, and the Han, Zhao, and Wei families keep their promises, then the princess will enter the core of the 7th Shelter as the head of the Lin family, and then use political means and the list of members of the "Mist Hidden Society" to seize the highest power."

"If things don't go smoothly, and Han, Zhao, and Wei don't keep their promises and want to break the agreement, we will march out with our army, using the Sixth Sanctuary and the four states as our logistics bases to pacify the Seventh Sanctuary."

After listening to Qiu Tu's plan, Kou Xuan smiled and nodded. He said, "I have no objection. I will follow Chairman Qiu's instructions."

Hearing Kou Xuan's words, Princess Xi looked at him expressionlessly.

To be honest, ever since Prince Kang became seriously ill, her relationship with the Kou family has gradually become hostile.

With the support of King Kang, Kou Xuan had schemed against her and the royalists. When the conflict was intense, she really wanted to kill the other party.

Therefore, she really didn't expect that one day she would work with Kou Xuan again, and just like before, serving one person.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at the man in the main seat.
Thinking about today's twists and turns and that man's grand plan.

I have to say her feelings are a bit complicated.

She was clearly the one who was betrayed.

However, Qiu Tu used his eloquent words to make her feel that she had gotten the upper hand in this deal?!

Who can I ask to explain this?

But just as Qiu Tu pointed out at the time: She has no choice now. If she doesn't accept it, she will die. If she accepts it, she might even win the bet.

"That's it. Let's see if he really wants to sell me."

In this way, this internal meeting of the three lasted until late at night.

It was not until 23 p.m., after the three of them had discussed all the details, that Kou Xuan took the initiative to stand up and say goodbye.

After Kou Xuan left, Princess Xi hesitated for a moment and still stayed in the house.

As a result, Qiu Tu looked at Princess Xi with a little surprise, and then asked, "Xixi, why are you still staying here instead of going back to rest?"

Qiu Tu's words would have made it impossible for Princess Xi to succeed.

As a captive, where else could she stay if not with Qiu Tu?

And considering Qiu Tu's personality, now that this piece of fat meat is right at his fingertips, could he let me go?

As a result, she didn't expect
Qiu Tu pondered for a moment, a hint of realization appeared on his face, and then he smiled and said, "Xixi, I took advantage of you before, but it was actually just a means to bring us closer."

"Now that we are allies and on the same page, we don't need this anymore."

"So, if you need to rest, just go and rest. Don't worry about me."

Princess Xi: ???

Maybe she had seen too many intrigues and too many impatiences from Qiu Tu. When Qiu Tu suddenly became serious, she was a little uncomfortable.
Her eyes flickered a few times, then she stood up decisively and walked outside.

As she walked, she kept her eyes on Qiu Tu behind her.

As a result, until she walked out of the room, Qiu Tu did not make any movements or words, but just looked down at the topographic map of Shelter 7, as if he was studying how to capture Shelter 7.

Princess Xi paused for a moment, then walked quickly back to her villa in the City Lord's Mansion without looking back.

Arriving at the villa, Princess Xi released her fifth-order spiritual power.

There was no one following him, no surveillance in the yard, and no ambush in the house.

There were two or three guards and maids, but they were all a little flustered - because they were her own confidants.

Everything...really looks like she was when she was a princess, or the leader of the royalists.

Princess Xi:
Ignoring the greetings from the maids and guards, Princess Xi walked into the house and collapsed on the bed. She closed her eyes, spread her mental power as much as possible, and observed any movement around her.

I don’t know if it was intentional.

There was not even a patrol within a hundred or two hundred meters around her villa, which really gave her full trust and freedom.

Princess Xi bit her lip gently, "What on earth is that guy doing!"

Just like that, she sensed quietly for the whole night and Princess Xi even forgot when she fell asleep.

This went on until 6 o'clock the next day, when Princess Xi suddenly woke up and sat up from the bed in a sweat!

Then her mental power spread out quickly, sweeping the area within a radius of one or two hundred meters!
Still no tracking, no surveillance, and no ambush.

Around the villa, only her trusted maids stood at the door. They had dark circles under their eyes and looked worried, as if they had not slept all night.

Princess Xi looked around again, a little unconvinced, but still found nothing wrong.

she:
The maid was called over, and Princess Xi washed herself with her help.

While washing, she asked calmly, "Did anything happen last night?"

Upon hearing this, the two maids showed a confused expression on their faces.

After a moment, the two of them looked at each other, and then one of the maids said a little puzzledly, "Nothing happened, Princess."

"It's just that this morning, Master Qiuqiu sent someone to deliver a piece of intelligence. It said that the 7th Shelter sent a strongly worded official letter to all shelters today."

"The evil Qiu Tu is trying to extend his evil claws to the northwest region"
