Then let them show their loyalty!

Chapter 780 Zhao Ji: Qiu Tu is a pineapple (asking for monthly tickets)
Hearing the words of the Heavy Stone God King, the Vast Sea God King showed a hint of hesitation on his face.

He pondered for a moment, then bent over and said carefully, "Sir, Qiu Tu doesn't seem like someone who can give in easily."

"What if we use our power to suppress him and provoke him to fight back?"

The God King of the Vast Sea has obviously observed and understood Qiu Tu, so he expressed such concerns.

However, the Heavy Stone God King obviously had his own reasons.

He did not get angry because of the Vast Sea Divine King's opposition, but spoke deeply,
"Hanhai, I understand what you mean: since you already want to ease the relationship with Qiu Tu, then you should be thorough and not put pressure on him or continue to clash with him, right?"

Seeing that the Vast Sea God King nodded, the Heavy Stone God King slowly spoke, "But Vast Sea, things are not that simple."

The gray face of the Heavy Stone God King was filled with deepness and majesty. He said, "Behind Qiu Tu is Elena. It was Elena who arranged for him to come to the "Execution Department."

Seeing that the Vast Sea God King wanted to analyze it, the Heavy Stone God King waved his hand and said, "I understand what you mean."

"You want to say that Qiu Tu is Elena's man. It's just a guess. It can't be confirmed. It hasn't been verified yet."

"But Hanhai, what I want to tell you is that it doesn't matter whether Qiu Tu is really Elena's man or not."

"Because everyone in the Executive Department thinks he is, then he is."

"In the eyes of others, Qiu Tu was sent by Elena to compete with us. So in the eyes of others, he represents Elena."

"The reason why I can maintain my rule in the "Executive Department" and run the "Executive Department" like an iron plate is because everyone thinks I am strong!"

"They think that I am a fourth-level God King second only to Elena. I am very powerful and only one level behind Elena. Once I break through, my future will be limitless."

"Moreover, they think I was sent by a high-level God King to check and balance Elena. I represent the will of the high-level officials of the Temple. There is someone behind this."

"Plus, I am the top person in charge of the 'Execution Department'. They contact me directly, not Elena."

“That’s why they chose to vote for me.”

The Heavy Stone God King obviously looks like a rough man, but when he speaks, he speaks very eloquently and it is obvious that he is also meticulous.

He said, "In order to flatter Qiu Tu, we deliberately spread the news so that everyone in the "Execution Department" knew that Qiu Tu was helpless, had no background, and had no faction."

"As a result, this gave Qiu Tu an opportunity to reveal his background in front of everyone."

“No matter whether he is just pretending to be a tiger or really obeying Elena’s orders, everyone now thinks he is Elena’s man.”

"This also made everyone think that this was the first time in a hundred years that Elena had tested the "Executive Department" with the intention of taking back the power of the Executive Department."

"So, now the whole "Executive Department" has changed its direction, and everyone is waiting and watching."

"In this case, we must suppress him so that the rest of the 'Execution Department' will know that we are still strong enough. Only then can they continue to stick with us."

At this point, the Heavy Stone God King's eyes were indifferent, with a hint of fatigue, "And once we show signs of fatigue, then the whole "Execution Department" will really change."

"So." The Heavy Stone God King glanced at the Vast Sea God King calmly and said, "I actually hope that our previous guess was wrong."

"Qiu Tu was not arranged by Elena at all, but is just trying to take advantage of others."

"That way, everything will be much simpler."

After hearing what the Heavy Stone God King said, the Vast Sea God King thought for a moment and nodded slightly to show his understanding.

This is indeed the case. If Qiu Tu was not arranged by Elena, he would not have the confidence.

As long as the Heavy Stone God King exerts extreme pressure, it is very likely that Qiu Tu will be subdued.

By then, the Heavy Stone God King will regain his prestige, Elena will not suffer any loss, and there will be no conflicts between the two.

Only Qiu Tu might feel a little wronged, but who cares?

After all, he is just an ordinary God King.

As for what the Heavy Stone God King said about "not being able to retreat", the Vast Sea God King also deeply agreed with it.

No matter which world or dynasty, political struggles are always like this. Haven't you seen so many corrupt officials continue to accept bribes or handle government affairs a few days before the incident?

Didn't they sense something was wrong, or sense that something was about to happen?
Of course he felt it. But he had no other choice.

If he continued to hold on, there might be a chance of a turnaround. If he dared to show weakness, rumors would immediately spread, or the whole family would scatter.

The same is true for the Heavy Stone God King now.

The reason why the "Execution Department" is the exclusive territory of the Heavy Stone God King is because of his dominance and Elena's indulgence.

The people below follow him because they think he is strong enough. Once he shows weakness and is discovered to be not so strong, the people below will immediately and secretly leave themselves a way to retreat. At that time, the entire "Executive Department" will be even more out of control.

After figuring it all out, the God King of the Vast Sea sighed slightly in his heart.

To be honest, he was not very optimistic about the Heavy Stone God King's method of extreme pressure, but now it seemed that there was no better choice.
Therefore, he could only bow slightly to the Heavy Stone God King to show that he obeyed his orders.
After he finished his ceremony, he couldn't help but think of the new God King who was stirring up trouble in the "Temple".

Although he didn't dare say it out loud, but from what the new God King had done recently, he always felt that the new God King was not a simple character.

He commented that the other party was stirring up trouble.
But you have to know that the one who stirs up the storm is either a dragon or a tiger.
And at the same time.

In "Chaotic Western Capital", there are also two other people. No, it should be said that "one person" is evaluating Qiu Tu.

"Sister, what do you think of Qiu Tu?"

In a wild forest, a girl in a black dress stood there quietly, like a dark flame, evil and eye-catching.

Her face was pale, like a jade mask carved by the spirit, with a strange beauty. But more importantly, her eyes were scarlet, deep and indifferent, like a bottomless abyss.

At her feet lay the corpses of several gods, and her hands were pressed on the corpses, as if she was devouring their "Path of Catastrophic Change".

There was no one else around, so it was obvious that she had said that just now.

But the strange thing is that after saying that, she actually started asking herself questions and answering them.

However, compared to the lively and playful voice just now, her voice this time was much cooler and steady.

Obviously, these are the two sisters Lajiro and Zhaoji who have temporarily merged together.

At this moment, when hearing Lazhiluo's question, Zhao Ji's mind couldn't help but flash back to the years she had known and spent with Qiu Tu.

After a moment, she commented coldly,

"Qiu Tu? A pineapple, maybe."

"Pineapple?" Lajiro obviously didn't understand.

"Yeah." Zhao Ji responded calmly, and then said, "Yellow, and cunning."

Hearing Zhao Ji's comments, Lajiro couldn't help but laugh.

Obviously, she also felt that Zhao Ji's evaluation of Qiu Tu was very appropriate.

But after laughing, Lajiro has not forgotten her "main storyline" of the past two years.

Deep in her soul, her scarlet eyes turned, flashing a few cunning glances, and then she asked, "But I feel like he likes you very much, and you are gradually falling in love with him."

After hearing what Lajiro said, Zhaoji paused for a moment as if something had hit the nail on the head. After a moment, she said calmly, "I like him because he is lucky. He likes me because I am charming."

“It’s a completely different concept.”

Lazhilo:
To be honest, although Qiu Tu had already described her sister as the "king of bullying", Zhao Ji rarely acted bullying in front of Lajiluo, so Lajiluo didn't feel much.

Now, having witnessed Zhaoji's pretentious quotes with her own eyes, Lajiro was impressed.

At that moment, she really wanted to knock open her sister's head to see what the structure inside was and how she could say so many pretentious and coquettish words.

At this moment, just as Lajiro was thinking this, Zhao Ji suddenly spoke again.

"It's done."

Lazhiluo was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized what was going on. She said in surprise, "It's only been one day, and you've already collected 10 Destruction Gods?"

Zhao Ji said "hmm" lightly.

Lajiro suddenly became extremely happy, "We are both really amazing."

Zhao Ji:.
After all, the two of them were one now, so it was okay for Lajiro to say that. So Zhaoji didn't correct Lajiro's words.

She just clapped her hands, stood up, looked into the distance, and said, "But this is not enough."

"This kind of chaos is rare. I must improve my strength as quickly as possible within the tolerance of my body and soul."

"Only in this way can I cope with the next crisis. And"

After saying the word "和", Zhao Ji stopped talking.

Deep in her soul, a question mark appeared on Lajiluo's little head. She obviously didn't understand what Zhaoji had said.

But Zhao Ji obviously didn't want to explain.

She said calmly, "Go kill 10 more."

After she finished speaking, she didn't make any movement. The grass and trees under her feet seemed to have life, swirling upwards and lifting her up. Then she disappeared into the entire forest.
In the quiet forest, only her thoughts were left.
and. Protect Qiu Tu.
Just like that, two days passed quickly.

During the past two days, Qiu Tu has been secluded in his room and has never stepped out of the door.

At the beginning, Qiu Tu’s confidants were a little worried. They didn’t know what had happened that caused Qiu Tu to go into seclusion immediately after he was promoted to the second-level God King.

Such abnormalities inevitably make people think too much, for example, is there something wrong with the cultivation?
Especially those subordinate gods who had just joined Qiu Tu.

They had just been tied together with Qiu Tu and were not yet completely familiar with each other, and then something like this happened, so it was inevitable that they felt uneasy.

At the critical moment, it was Guan Xiao who stood up.

In her capacity as Qiu Tu's adjutant, she called everyone together and made up a reason:
Qiu Tu had just been promoted to the second-level God King, and he was feeling something in his heart and was creating a divine skill. That was why he went into seclusion urgently.

Guan Xiao didn't know the contents of the photo stone, nor did she know what happened to Qiu Tu. But she knew that letting the rumors spread would only affect Qiu Tu's prestige.

Then make up a positive reason and turn a bad thing into a good thing, which can at least stabilize the morale of the troops.

As for what to do if Qiu Tu doesn’t learn the “divine skills” after he comes out of seclusion?
Qiu Tu has come out of retreat. Does it still matter whether he has "divine skills" or not?
What's more, not all gods know "divine skills", and even if gods study divine skills, they may not be able to figure them out in one retreat.

Therefore, as long as Qiu Tu comes out of seclusion, it doesn’t matter whether he has the “divine skills” or not, and it doesn’t matter what Qiu Tu is doing in seclusion.
To be honest, Guan Xiao now regrets giving the things that Zhao Ji gave him to Qiu Tu the first time.

Although she believed that Zhao Ji would not harm Qiu Tu, there must be some good thing going on in Qiu Tu's seclusion now.

But she felt that it should be delayed until the evening, so that Qiu Tu could first go to the "Executive Department" according to the normal procedures, report the good news to his superiors and colleagues, and then give the photo stone to Qiu Tu. This way, there would be no rumors.

The current situation is actually her dereliction of duty.

Moreover, she also knew that this excuse she had come up with temporarily could only appease her close associates. People outside would definitely not believe it.
"I just hope the commander can get out of the quarantine as soon as possible."

"If I left the image stone to the commander at the wrong time and it affected his important event, then I will be blamed for it."

Just as Guan Xiao thought
The news that Qiu Tu had just been out of seclusion for a few hours and then went into emergency seclusion again was known to the middle and senior management of the "West Branch" the next day.

But they didn't care at that time.

It was not until the third day when Qiu Tu still did not come out that they realized something was wrong and began to pay attention to the matter.

Next, Guan Xiao summoned his confidants and explained the reason why Qiu Tu was in seclusion: to create divine skills.

This news soon reached the ears of the middle and senior management, but no one believed it.

Because for the God King, although it is not too difficult to create "God Skills", it is not something that can be created immediately.

More importantly, "divine skills" are not "innate divine skills". Although they are very useful to the God King, they are not so useful that he would just go into seclusion without caring about the impact.

Therefore, to the top management, Guan Xiao’s reason seemed rather poor and totally unreliable.

And it was precisely because of Guan Xiao's reason that made them even more suspicious whether Qiu Tu really had a problem with his cultivation.
Soon, another two days passed. It was almost time to hold the "Executive Department" God King meeting.

The Vast Sea God King arrived at the Heavy Stone God King early.

In the empty hall, the Vast Sea God King stood there and asked softly, "Sir, do you want to notify Qiu Tu?"

Hearing what the Vast Sea God King said, the Heavy Stone God King who was sitting there was silent for a moment, and suddenly laughed, "If he just retreats like this and misses the meeting, it's actually the best outcome."

"In this way, all problems are solved."

After saying this, the Heavy Stone God King shook his head slightly, and then said, "Notification is still necessary."

"But please inform his adjutant."

"The rest is up to them to decide."

Hearing the words of the Heavy Stone God King, the Vast Sea God King quickly responded, then stepped out and arranged for someone to pass the message to Guan Xiao.

Guan Xiao, who received the message, did not show any expression on his face, but he was a little anxious inside.

With sufficient political sense, she knew how important this "Executive Department" God King Conference was to Qiu Tu.

This was Qiu Tu's first time attending the Divine King Conference, and at such a sensitive time, many people were paying attention to this meeting, wanting to see the direction of the "Executive Department".

If Qiu Tu is absent, the upward momentum may come to an abrupt halt and the team will have to accumulate strength again.
So, in the past two days, Guan Xiao has been sending people to watch the door of Qiu Tu's room, hoping that Qiu Tu can arrive in time.

Soon, it was the day of the "Executive Department" God King meeting.

The meeting started at 2pm, but Qiu Tu still hadn't come out at 1pm
Guan Xiao was almost despairing and began to think about how to help Qiu Tu make amends.

As a result, at this moment, a confidant rushed in from outside, and said to Guan Xiao in a suppressed excited voice, "Minister Guan, Minister Guan, Speaker Qiu has come out of confinement!"

Hearing the words of the confidant, even Guan Xiao, who had always been good at cultivating his Qi, could not help but stand up with a look of surprise on his face, "He's out of retreat!"

"Hurry, I'll go check it out now!"

Guan Xiao's courtyard was only separated from Qiu Tu by a wall, so Guan Xiao saw Qiu Tu in a moment.

Qiu Tu's face was full of confidence, and he seemed to know everything that had happened in the past few days.

Therefore, when he first saw Guan Xiao, he didn't even say hello, but patted Guan Xiao's shoulder gently and said, "Don't worry, I'm out."
