Politics is inherently the art of compromise.
If we can achieve a result that satisfies everyone, then of course it would be even better.
Therefore, after discovering that they could indeed gain greater benefits from trading with Qiu Tu, several deputy speakers also changed their minds.
Deputy Speaker Barron's green eyes narrowed slightly and he slowly said, "If our "lawful faction" can really be re-elected, then I think the deal with Qiu Tu is acceptable."
"After all, this will be a win-win-win deal."
"It's just" when he said this, he paused, looked around at the few people present, and reminded, "Our core interests must not be compromised."
"Although this transaction was reached between Sanctuary 3 and Qiu Tu, we were the only ones who paid the price on the side of Sanctuary 3. That is the god "Candle Dance"."
"This will damage our strength in a short period of time, and we may not even be able to suppress other factions."
"During this period, once other factions rely on the resources of the 6th and 7th shelters to grow, we will be very passive."
"When it comes to the next election, the other party will be the most powerful. Let's not say whether the other party will tear up the agreement and compete for the "ruling faction." Even if the other party abides by the agreement and recognizes our re-election, by then, our right to speak in Sanctuary will also be lost.
been greatly weakened.”
Speaking of this, he looked serious and said categorically, "So the first level 7 cataclysm in Sanctuary 3 must be from our "lawful faction"."
"After getting the first batch of resources from the 6th and 7th shelters, we must increase our combat power as soon as possible."
Barron is a blond man with blue eyes, a bit burly, and a bit weird in his speaking tone. But his status in the "lawful faction" is not low.
Therefore, when he spoke, several other deputy speakers couldn't help but nodded.
At this time, the other deputy speaker Wanyan Zuyu also said, "Speaker Barron's reminder is very appropriate."
Wanyan Zuyu's appearance is a bit rough, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. At first glance, he looks like a rough man, as if he grew up on horseback.
He said, "In addition, in addition to increasing the combat power and ensuring that our faction has level 7 cataclysms, I think that when we negotiate with each faction, we must also draft a document giving up the next election and have them sign it.
"
"After all, there are too many wranglings in oral agreements. Only written documents can be legally effective."
"Even if other factions do develop and are ready to tear up the agreement, written documents will be more effective against them than verbal agreements."
"If things get to this point and they still take the risk of breaking the agreement, then with this written agreement, we will stand up for justice and have legitimate reasons to demand compensation or fight back afterwards."
Speaking of this, Wanyan Zuyu paused and continued,
"As for how to get them to sign, it's very simple. Just negotiate with them on the basis of profit distribution."
"Everyone is satisfied, and then we can put pen to paper and sign."
"Moreover, we are not afraid of their extortionate prices. After all, as long as more than half of the top executives agree, we can be re-elected."
"So, taking down a few big factions and then taking down a third of the small factions should be enough for us to be re-elected."
After hearing Wanyan Zuyu's words, Xing Su, the leader of the "Lawful Sect" also showed a satisfied smile on his face.
He answered, "What I mean is similar to Speaker Wanyan."
"This transaction must be put on paper in advance, not just in words."
"And this transaction with Qiu Tu is probably the opportunity that our "lawful faction" has been waiting for for decades!"
"I plan to take this opportunity to integrate the various factions in Sanctuary 3. Those who rely on us and cooperate with us in advance will give priority to ensuring their interests."
"As for those who are in competition with us, want to take advantage of us, or ask for excessive prices, we can also take advantage of this opportunity to suppress them."
Speaking of this, Xing Su knocked on the table and said categorically, "This is the biggest opportunity for our "lawful faction" in the past ten years. We must work together to win this bet!"
After hearing Xing Su's words, the other vice-speakers nodded slightly, with blazing fire burning in their eyes.
In this way, you and I, the deputy speakers, finalized all the details of this multi-party transaction.
All that's left is to negotiate with the dozens of factions.
But now the "Lawful Faction" is the "ruling faction". It has the power and the right to distribute benefits. What it wants to do is another major event that can help the 3rd Sanctuary to a higher level. I believe that no faction will be short-sighted.
spoke out against it.
As for whether you think this "swap trump card" plan is too radical?
Don’t forget who are the people in Sanctuary 3?
They are all supporters of "technological explosiveism". They are a group of out-and-out lunatics.
In Qiu Tu, what is considered a "radical" plan in the eyes of others may be slightly conservative in the eyes of the conservatives in Sanctuary 3.
Not to mention the radicals of Sanctuary 3
So, soon after this important meeting was completed, the senior leaders of the "Lawful Faction" also directly followed the assigned tasks and set out collectively to negotiate with the leaders of each faction, preparing to start this battle with Qiu Tu.
Gamble of the century
And at the same time.
When the major factions in the 3rd Sanctuary began emergency negotiations, Qiu Tuye and La Riluo came to the "Red Mountain Area" and prepared to officially start refining the other eight Infinite Heart Sea areas under their control.
The reason why the "Red Mountain Area" is named "Red Mountain" is obviously because the hills here are made of red soil. From a distance, it looks like you are in a sea of ​​blood.
Because red soil is composed of clay minerals, its texture is relatively sticky. You may even feel your feet sinking slightly when you step on it.
And because the fertility of red soil is low, the entire "red soil area" is almost barren of grass and looks barren.
And in such an area, Qiu Tu followed La Riluo's instructions and planted four "Dragon Vein Seeds" along the four directions.
After doing all this, Qiu Tu looked at La Riluo beside him, and then asked curiously, "Is this all right?"
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, La Riluo nodded slightly, and then said, "Yes. Next, as long as the "Dragon Vein Seed" is stimulated, the "Dragon Vein Seed" can be planted."
"Then, through the extension of the "dragon veins", you can connect all the unrefined areas and finally connect them into one, which will help you to refine very quickly and save a lot of energy."
Speaking of this, she thought for a moment and continued, "In addition, with your current mid-level 6 strength, you should be able to refine at least 6 areas."
"With the addition of these areas, your strength can reach the late sixth level. It is estimated that you are only half a step away from the peak of sixth level."
"I heard from my sister that you collected the "personality" fragments of the nine-headed lion and opened the way to the seventh level."
"In this case, after your catastrophic path reaches the peak of level 6, and then refine 9 areas, you should be able to officially advance to level 7."
I have to say that although La Riluo was a bit funny and evil occasionally, she was still very reliable in handling things. She helped Qiu Tu consider everything very clearly.
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but smile and patted La Riluo on the shoulder, praising, "Your Highness, you really saved me a lot of time and energy this time. It helped me a lot."
"So, if you have anything you want or need me to do, you can put it forward. I will try my best to satisfy you."
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, La Riluo's scarlet eyes rolled slightly. She smiled "hehe" and then said, "Actually, I don't want anything, and there is nothing I need you to do."
"But if you really want to thank me, then just take my sister down."
Qiu Tu:??
Good guy, you’ve had enough of calling me daddy and you want to call me brother-in-law?
And is this definitely a condition, not a reward?
But this was Qiu Tu's next goal.
Therefore, after hearing what La Riluo said, Qiu Tu did not refuse. He nodded and agreed, "Okay. I promise you."
Seeing Qiu Tu agreeing, La Riluo's face clearly showed excitement.
She stretched out her arms, patted Qiu Tu's shoulder, and said, "Qiu Tu, I will never be able to ride on my sister's head in this life."
"So, I can only give all my hopes to you. You can definitely ride it a few more times."
Speaking of this, before Qiu Tu could paint, La Riluo said again, "In addition, even if you reach the seventh level, you should not take it lightly."
"Level 7 is indeed very strong. But it's not as strong as you think."
La Riluo recalled for a while and said, "According to what my sister said, the seventh level is still a figure in the "marginal area", but when it comes to the "core area", it is no different from the bastard in the river."
"If you throw a brick, you can knock over several bricks."
Qiu Tu:
To be honest, if Qiu Tu hadn't known how powerful the seventh level was and had personally experienced how major shelters treat the seventh level differently, he would probably have truly believed it.
In his opinion, even if the seventh level cannot walk sideways in the "core area", it can definitely be regarded as a mid-to-high level.
After all, even in the "core area", apart from the peak masters and the four god kings at level 8, level 7 must be the strongest.
But when he thought that it was Zhao Ji who said this, Qiu Tu felt extremely understanding.
After all, a forced king is a forced king. There are only a few people who can catch her eye.
Therefore, according to Zhao Ji's standards, the seventh level is also a piece of trash, so it makes sense.
However, what La Riluo said rightly is that if Qiu Tu wants to conquer Zhao Ji, the strength of the seventh level is not enough.
Zhao Ji was a god in her previous life, and her talents in this life are terrifying and astonishing.
If you want to capture her, the seventh level is definitely not enough. You need at least the eighth level, or even the ninth level god!
Thinking like this, Qiu Tu felt filled with chicken blood for a while.
After all, what do men want in life? Isn’t it just for money?
Throughout the ages, how many people have gone out of their way to win over a beauty, and how many people have waged war with their lords and brought chaos to the country.
I worked my butt off to squeeze into the upper class, just so I could do obscene things unscrupulously.
So, what’s wrong with practicing hard just to sleep with a woman?
With this in mind, Qiu Tu stopped chatting, and instead cut open his finger with a dagger, dripped the blood onto the "Dragon Vein Seed", officially activated the "Dragon Vein Seed", and began to refine the ones he controlled.
area!
As the "Dragon Vein Seed" is activated, the few seeds visible to the naked eye begin to take root and sprout.
This catastrophic material is indeed valuable. As the seed takes root and sprouts, golden veins are like smart little snakes, spreading rapidly towards the distance along the "red hills".
As the "little golden snake" began to spread, wherever it went, the red hills seemed to be given life and began to twist and deform.
Pieces of metallic scales began to emerge on top of the red dragon veins, connecting and overlapping each other, gradually forming a huge dragon vein lying on the ground!
At the same time, the power of disaster in the area was controlled by the dragon veins and spewed directly towards the nine heavens!
At that moment, the entire "red soil area" changed color and the wind howled.
The power of the catastrophe turned into a golden tornado, soaring up into the sky!
And in the center of the tornado, sitting at the intersection of dragon veins, Qiu Tu also began to frantically integrate the area he controlled.
Just like that, three or five days passed in a flash.
There are still 29 days left before Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji make an appointment.
Shelter 7, hub. The villa where Huang Shangzong lived.
In the early morning, Huang Shangzong was cooking in a white floral apron.
He is 1.95 meters tall, with broad shoulders and a round waist. The white floral apron on him looks weird and ridiculous at the same time.
However, he didn't pay attention, and was cooking carefully.
If he were photographed at this time and shown to his subordinates, no one would believe that he was the "God of Killing" Huang Shangzong who made the enemy fearful.
And all this is for his daughter Xueer.
As the apple of his eye, Xue'er can be said to be Huang Shangzong's favorite. For example, when he had a grudge with Qiu Tu, it was also because Xue'er admired Jia Shu, but Jia Shu died because of Qiu Tu.
"Dad! Dad! I have good news! I am going to be the deputy speaker!"
Accompanied by the lark-like voice, Xueer flew down from the upstairs of the villa,
When she ran in front of Huang Shangzong, Xueer's face was flushed and her big watery eyes looked at Huang Shangzong, full of excitement.
Huang Shangzong, who was cooking there, glanced sideways at her, then stretched out his palm-sized hand to touch Xue'er's forehead and said,
"I don't have a fever. If you don't wake up, go back to sleep and don't talk nonsense in broad daylight."
Hearing Huang Shangzong's words, Xueer stamped her feet angrily, and then said angrily, "Dad~! I didn't lie to you! I really want to be the deputy speaker!"
Huang Shangzong added some soy sauce to the pot and said nonchalantly, "If you don't want to sleep, go do yoga. Don't make trouble for me in the kitchen."
"You want to eat the omelette I made myself. If it gets burnt, I won't be responsible."
Huang Shangzong's tone sounded like he was complaining, but in fact, if you listen carefully, you can hear the doting in his words.
"Dad!" Xueer was so angry that she said, "I'm not kidding! This is the order Qiu Tu just gave!"
"Not only me, but Yanyan and Ai Li also made extraordinary promotions. Ai Li became the deputy speaker, and Yanyan directly became the speaker!"
Seeing that his daughter kept talking non-stop, Huang Shangzong finally felt that something was wrong.
He waved in the distance, and several maids immediately ran over.
Huang Shangzong took off his apron and threw it to the maids, asking them to fry the eggs. Huang Shangzong pulled Xueer to the living room, and then asked in a deep voice, "What's going on? What kind of special promotion?"
Seeing that her father was finally serious, Xueer quickly and excitedly recounted the notice she had just received.
"Dad, I just received a call from the Ministry of Interior. The caller said that Princess Xi had a very good impression of me, Yanyan, and Aili because of her last visit to Dongye Prefecture."
"So, we are going to transfer the files of the three of us from the 8th shelter to the 7th shelter. Then we will directly go to work in her newly established department, the Privy Council."
"And we are willing to raise our ranks in an exceptional way. Yanyan is at the level of state speaker, while Aili and I are at the level of deputy speaker."
Even though he was no longer keen on politics, Huang Shangzong still felt something was wrong when he heard his daughter's words.
"Interior Department?" Huang Shangzong frowned and repeated the name of the department, and then asked, "Is it Qiu Tu's government affairs department?"
Xue'er nodded, and then said, "Yes. It's similar to the Attendant's Room and the Privy Council."
Huang Shangzong, "So this is what Qiu Tu approved?"
Xueer nodded slightly again, "I heard from the person who informed me that it was Qiu Tu who nodded."
Huang Shangzong keenly noticed the key information, "Qiu Tu is back?"
He said, "I remember didn't Qiu Tu stay in seclusion for a few days a few days ago?"
Xueer obviously hesitated this time, and then said, "I guess so?"
"Otherwise, the Ministry of Internal Affairs wouldn't dare to issue orders privately. That's Qiu Tu's direct department."
When Huang Shangzong heard this, he nodded slightly, saying "it's reasonable."
But even so, his frown never relaxed.
Obviously, this unusual move still made him smell something wrong.
'What on earth is Qiu Tu doing?'
"This world should be settled by young people and left to the old ones."
"Young people like us like to sleep, so we should be lazy. Old people sleep less and have more time. It's the right age to make breakthroughs."
"So if you don't push them, how will they know how much energy they can still exert!"
At the same time, Qiu Tu, who had successfully refined 6 areas and returned to the 7th shelter, was chatting with Yanyan there.
"Your dad is my old boss. I know very well how capable he is."
"Let him handle the mess in Shelter 6. I trust him."
"As for the 7th Sanctuary, because it is close to the base camp of the Four States, I also need a heavyweight master with sufficient military capabilities to take charge."
"Obviously Huang Shangzong is a good fit."
"Promote Xue'er as an exception and send her to the Privy Council. This way, Huang Shangzong will not be able to stay out of the matter."
"No matter what happens, he, as a father, must protect his daughter."
"And he has no military power and cannot surrender to the enemy. So he can only assist the four states to suppress the rebellion and rescue his daughter."
Speaking of this, Qiu Tu looked down at Yanyan, who was kneeling in front of him, and then reached out to grab her chin and said, "Of course my other insurance is you."
"You are the smartest among all my confidants."
"I hope you can keep an eye on Princess Xi and stop her from going crazy."
"Even if she goes crazy, we must prevent her from targeting the four states."
After hearing Qiu Tu's instructions, Yanyan closed her eyes in flattery and hummed twice in enjoyment, and then said obediently, "Yes, master. I promise to complete the task."
After saying that, Yanyan opened her eyes and asked curiously, "But, Master, what are you planning, and what are you guarding against?"
"Are you ready to leave the Northwest Territories?"
After hearing Yanyan's words, Qiu Tu glanced at Yanyan's loyalty "86"
Then, he shook his head first, then nodded again, and said bluntly, "It's soon. But not now."
Thinking like this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but recall what happened in the past few days.
"Dragon Vein Seed" is indeed a very valuable but extremely powerful cataclysmic treasure.
After the "dragon veins" were planted that day, the entire "Hongshan area" seemed to be "alive", and the dragon veins began to take root in the "Hongshan area" like main blood vessels.
Immediately afterwards, the "main blood vessels" of the dragon veins began to branch, forming dense "capillaries" that penetrated into all areas.
It was this powerful penetration and control effect that allowed Qiu Tu to refine the "Red Mountain Area" in just over half a day.
With the results of the first area, Qiu Tu was finally relieved about the "Dragon Vein Seed".
So, he began to follow the same pattern and began to refine other areas.
One area takes half a day, two areas take about a day and a half. Six areas take almost 5 days.
In this way, for the past five days, except for an occasional break, he was almost all in the refining area and on the road to the refining area.
It wasn't until this morning that Qiu Tu finally succeeded in refining all 6 areas. The superposition of so many areas also successfully made Qiu Tu's strength reach the late sixth level. He is only a thin line away from the peak of level 6.
As long as Qiu Tu's catastrophic path breaks through again, he can directly advance to the sixth level peak.
At that time, he only needs to complete the refining of the 11 areas that have been prepared step by step, and he will successfully advance to the seventh level!
Therefore, the main purpose of Qiu Tu's return this time is to break through his catastrophic path! That is, the location of Sanctuary No. 1!
And it was a coincidence that not long after Qiu Tu came back, Shen Yuzhou sent an invitation, inviting Qiu Tu to have dinner with him.
According to him, Sanctuary 3 has decided to support Qiu Tu as No. 1 of Sanctuary 7, and has also agreed to his deal——
