"There seems to be a fight in Wangbeicheng."

"Wangbeicheng is suspected of fighting with many high-level catastrophes."

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

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

"Report it, report it quickly!"

Dongye Prefecture's army set out not in one day or two, but more than a week had passed. Therefore, in these days, all parties, whether they were sensitive or slow, had almost guessed Qiu Tu and Princess Xi's plan.

——Using the murder of the envoy group as an excuse to intervene in the 6th shelter and join forces to deal with the Kou family.

This conclusion has already become the consensus of all high-level officials in the northwest region along with the actions of the Dongye Prefecture army along the route and the proactive attitude of Princess Xi to welcome them.

All high-level officials in the northwest region have acquiesced in the cooperation between Qiu Tu and Princess Xi, and are also waiting for the 6th Sanctuary to undergo major changes that have not been seen in decades.

Who knows, but the two of them had a falling out? And started fighting?

This sudden reversal really surprised everyone.

The first reaction of many high-level officials was: Could it be that they really thought too much? Were Qiu Tu's people really there to deal with the murder case of the envoys?

Then the two sides failed to reach an agreement, and Princess Xi became so arrogant that they started fighting?

So, is this world really a huge grassroots team?

However, after more senior executives learned the news and were shocked, they still noticed something was wrong.

The 8th Sanctuary, formerly the "Officer Academy", is now the "8th Sanctuary Central Academy". Dean's Office.

Huang Shangzong, the new leader of the academic faction, a high-level executive of the shelter, and the dean of Central Academy, is sitting on the sofa accompanied by Xueer.

On the sofa opposite him, a man and a girl were sitting.

The man is not tall, his face is old, and his body is wrinkled, giving people a feeling of decay.

Astonishingly, it is Yan Ai, the current second-in-command of the academic faction and the new Speaker of Nanqu Prefecture.

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

As the victors of this academic purge, second only to Qiu Tu, both Huang Shangzong and Yan Ai can be regarded as rising to prominence.

In contrast, the strength of the academic faction has plummeted. Not only have many middle-level officials been transferred to idle positions, but even the top management has been purged.

Originally the third largest faction in the 8th Sanctuary, the Academic Faction had a deputy speaker and 6-7 members in the Supreme Council.

As a result, now, there are only two of them. Huang Shangzong and another academic big boss who is not concerned with worldly affairs. And they are only at the parliamentary level.

The third person who has the potential to become a high-level member of the shelter and a member of the Supreme Council is Yan Ai.

This still requires him to make some political achievements in Nanqu Prefecture.

It can be said that the entire academic sect has declined extremely drastically.

At this time, Huang Shangzong looked at Yan Ai in front of him, his eyes a little deep, and he said, "Nanqu Prefecture is one of the first states where our shelter was opened. The situation is relatively stable, and it is a bit difficult to achieve political achievements."

"But now the academy can only rely on a few of its own people."

"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 Ai's old right hand rubbed the back of his left hand, and then said in a hoarse voice, "It's just Nanquzhou, it's not a problem for me. I can do it on my own."

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

"Intelligence support?" Huang Shangzong was a little confused. His thick eyebrows furrowed and he looked at Yan Ai with a broad and resolute face, "What kind of intelligence support?"

Yan Ai looked at Huang Shangzong with his turbid eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "Qiu Tu. I hope he can tell me if there are any changes."

Speaking of this, Yan Ai 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 Ai's confidentiality level was high enough, so Huang Shangzong did not avoid Yan Ai at that time.

Now that Yan Ai was asking, he thought about it for a moment and then spoke out all the information he had obtained.

After saying that, he couldn't help but sigh, "Actually, I have been paying attention to Qiu Tu's actions. At that time, I also felt that Qiu Tu and Princess Xi were in harmony with each other."

"The result was unexpected. I guessed wrong."

After hearing Huang Shangzong's words, Yan Ai and Yanyan beside him had slightly subtle expressions for a moment.

Perhaps aware of the change in his daughter's expression, Yan Nai turned to look at her with a look of neither joy nor sorrow.

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

Yan Nai sighed slightly in his heart, then turned around and said softly, "Old Huang, you are making Qiu Tu simple."

"You have dealt with him before. His mind is like an onion, with layers within layers."

"You think he is on the second floor, but actually he may be on the third or fourth floor."

Yan Ai paused, and then analyzed, "It is most likely true that he and Princess Xi were in harmony with each other internally and externally."

"The disappearance of the envoy group is too much of a coincidence. And Princess Xi must have been prepared to take advantage of the situation to occupy the border state."

"As for the two of them falling out now, it could be a show to trick the Kou family into being fooled; or it could be that Qiu Tu betrayed Princess Xi and chose to cooperate with the Kou family."

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

However, after experiencing a series of recent events, he has one more advantage, that is, he accepts suggestions with an open mind.

He was leaning on the sofa, tapping the armrest of the sofa with his thick knuckles, thinking quietly.

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

"Looking at it this way, Qiu Tu may indeed have chosen to cooperate with the Kou family."

"This is reasonable. After all, the Kou family is stronger and can help him even more."

After hearing his words, Yan Ai nodded slightly, his eyes twinkling a little.

To be honest, he just gave an example casually.

If he had to analyze it carefully, he actually felt that Qiu Tu might not have reached the third floor, but probably the fourth or fifth floor.

But after all, he had too little information about Shelter 6, and he knew too little about Shelter 6, so he couldn't figure out what Qiu Tu wanted to do.

But based on his understanding of Qiu Tu, he felt that Qiu Tu's involvement in the 6th shelter should not be that simple.

At the same time, the 8th shelter, Rao Shou's yard.

Rao Shou did not go fishing today, but played chess with Tang Wanfeng there.

Rao Shou was in charge of white and Tang Wanfeng was in charge of black. The two of them were chatting about the situation in the 6th shelter.

"Pah." Rao Shou dropped a white chess piece on the chessboard. He stared at the chessboard and said slowly, "Qiu Tu really likes to play cards that don't follow the rules."

"Originally I thought he was cooperating with Princess Xi, but looking at it now, he should be cooperating with the Kou family."

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

"I heard that Su Wanqing, one of the ten outstanding figures of the Kou family, went to Dongye Prefecture not long ago and chatted with him several times."

"Probably, it was at that time that I convinced him."

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

He commented, "That girl is really not simple."

He straightened up, looked far into the distance, and then said, "Some things have to be admitted. There may really be such a thing as luck in this world."

"Two stars in one discipline, ten heroes. All of them are geniuses."

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

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

"If the Kou family can really be conquered, Qiu Tu may really be able to go one step further."

After hearing Rao Shou's words, 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 of conduct."

"Because of Fei, I know him better. I feel that he is not someone who likes to break contracts or betray others."

"Although we old guys don't have a high opinion of his character."

"But looking at his experience, he is very good to his own people or those who take refuge in him."

"Although he laughed, cursed, and conspired, there was always a bottom line."

"So, I don't think he is someone who can betray Princess Xi and cooperate with the Kou family."

After hearing Tang Wanfeng's words, the expression on Rao Shou's face slowly faded away. He played with the chess pieces in his hand and pondered quietly.

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

"There is only one Shelter 6. He can't give two copies of the shelter to Princess Xi and the Kou family, and then become the leader himself, right?"

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

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

"Crack!" With a sound, the chess piece in his hand was crushed by him.
