Let them offer their loyalty!-Chapter 1417 - 614: Is Qiu Tu Leaving Early?
He motioned for the beautiful maid to continue changing, then answered the phone.
As soon as the call connected, Guan Xiao's voice came through the receiver.
"Speaker. Are you back?"
Qiu Tu's action this time was known to no one. But as the head of the "Ministry of Internal Affairs," any intelligence work would ultimately come into her hands. Hence, Qiu Tu was not surprised that Guan Xiao knew his whereabouts these days.
Thinking this, Qiu Tu smiled and said, "I'm back."
On the other end of the phone, Guan Xiao said with a charming laugh, "First, congratulations Speaker on your victorious start. Securing a decade of peace for the 'Northwestern Region' through one battle."
Guan Xiao's biggest strength, besides her capability, is her ability to provide ample emotional value.
Thus, the smile on Qiu Tu's face grew even broader.
He waved away the beautiful maid who helped him dress, then walked toward the window while asking, "Tell me. What's the matter?"
"With your character, it's impossible that you're only here to congratulate me, right?"
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Guan Xiao chuckled twice and then seductively said, "Speaker, you're still as impressive as ever. Just like your skills in bed."
"I called this time not only to congratulate you. In fact.... I'm here to report a piece of special intelligence."
"Special intelligence?" Hearing Guan Xiao's words, the smile on Qiu Tu's face gradually faded away, "What special intelligence?"
Guan Xiao said, "It's like this.... These days, Princess Xi has been a bit... unusual."
"Princess Xi?" Qiu Tu hesitated for a moment.
Guan Xiao acknowledged with a "hmm," then began to recount the intelligence she received.
Qiu Tu listened patiently, his expression growing more and more serious.
He couldn't help but recall the loyalty of Princess Xi and Kou Xuan.
It must be said, perhaps they were temporarily heroes holding high positions, with extraordinarily firm minds.
Even though Qiu Tu had been trying to win them over in recent times, neither "Princess Xi" nor "Kou Xuan" showed much change in loyalty.
As of the last meeting between Qiu Tu and Princess Xi, her loyalty was merely 43 points.
And Kou Xuan's was even lower, only 37 points.
This indicates that while under Qiu Tu's leadership, they would follow his orders normally and not outwardly defy them. But..... that's about it.
In fact, Qiu Tu suspected this modest loyalty was possibly due to his high level of military force; they knew any blatant defiance would lead to their elimination...
Precisely because of their almost unchanged loyalty and Qiu Tu's eagerness to leave the "Northwestern Region," he finally devised the "contraction" plan and "sold" the Sixth and Seventh Sanctuaries to the Third Sanctuary.
As a result.... today Guan Xiao unexpectedly brought another piece of bad news.
Despite Princess Xi's impeccable obedience under Qiu Tu's watch, in private..... she covertly integrated the power of the "Royalists."
She not only extended her reach back into the military but also quietly sent people to rescue "Xiao Heng" and "Li Hanxiang," the top civilians and military among the Royalists. Clearly, there were signs of disloyalty....
Thinking this, Qiu Tu's gaze flickered.
For a moment, as if struck by realization, he paused.
A bold thought was born in his mind. However, he wasn't certain.
After all..... if this thought were true, then everything would be too chaotic.
But, verifying whether this thought was right or wrong is very simple. It only requires a slight maneuver....
Thinking this, Qiu Tu pondered briefly, then opened his mouth to ask, "By the way, how is Rain Butterfly doing now?"
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Guan Xiao replied, "Reporting to the Speaker. Lord Rain Butterfly, along with the elites and the 'Dark Legion,' has now entered the 'Boundless Heart Sea - Core Region' and started setting up an intelligence network, gathering information."
"But due to the 'Isolation Mountains' blocking between the 'Edge Region' and the 'core area,' signals cannot be transmitted. So we could only establish two intelligence outposts on either side of the 'Isolation Mountains."
"This way, any new intelligence she has can be transmitted to the intelligence outpost on that side of the mountains, then reviewed by the intelligence personnel at the outpost, carried over the 'Isolation Mountains,' and delivered to the intelligence outpost on this side, finally reaching me."
"Our last intelligence transmission was yesterday. Her progress over there can only be said to be average. Still in the stage of collecting public intelligence."
Qiu Tu nodded slightly, then said, "Understood."
He paused for a moment and continued to ask, "Currently, how is the contraction of our 'Four States' forces going?"
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Guan Xiao replied, "In recent days, the troops have all returned to the 'Four States,' as per your orders."
"Most of the intelligence agency's forces have also pulled back, leaving only some grassroots organizations for easy activation at any time."
Qiu Tu replied, "Hmm," and then asked,
"How is the 'overseas enclave' legislation progressing now?"
Guan Xiao said, "Since this legislation was proposed by you personally, neither high-level from the Sixth nor Seventh Sanctuary dare oppose it."
"But because this indeed affects all high-level interests, both sanctuaries are using your absence as an excuse to delay."
"However, I believe as long as you appear in person, it should be resolved immediately."
Qiu Tu responded again with a "Hmm," then said, "Alright. I understand."
With deep eyes, he said, "Since everything is ready, only lacking the Easterly Wind. Then I'll borrow this wind ahead of time!"
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Guan Xiao on the other end of the phone was shocked, harboring a suspicion in his heart.
Sure enough, Qiu Tu continued, "I'm planning to complete the transaction with the Third Sanctuary ahead of time and leave this troublesome place."
Upon hearing this, Guan Xiao quickly advised, "Speaker. Isn't this going too fast?"
"Moreover... If you leave, there won't be a way to return to the 'Northwest Region' in the short term, right?"
Hearing Guan Xiao's words, a smile appeared at the corner of Qiu Tu's mouth, and he said, "Who told you, I meant leaving the 'Northwest Region'?"
Guan Xiao froze for a moment, then heard Qiu Tu continue, "I meant leaving the 'Seventh Sanctuary'."
"Of course. Externally, it should be said that I've already left the 'Northwestern Region.'
"Only by me leaving will the pack of wolves in the 'Northwest Region' reveal their true selves, exposing their real intentions."
"And I can also while preparing for my final departure, observe how this grand show begins and ends...."
