Chapter 603: Night Party with "Candle Dance" (please ask for monthly tickets at the end of the month)

Hearing Kou Xuan's words, the confidants responded quickly, then bowed and left the study.

After the confidant left, the luxurious study became extremely quiet for a while.

Kou Xuan read the document in his hand expressionlessly and signed his name. Then he slowly picked up the pen cap, gently twisted it with his long fingers, and slowly closed the gold pen in his hand.

With a "bang" sound, the gold pen clicked shut, and Kou Xuan pressed it on the document.

Then he leaned back, leaning on the soft brocade chair, frowning slightly, and began to think deeply with a deep look on his face.

‘All the top executives of the four major shelters congratulated you?’

'This shows that Qiu Tu has been recognized by the human camp and has officially become the second leader of the 6th and 7th shelters.'

'However, judging from the intelligence, the two sides only reached a consensus after two rounds of consultations.'

'And judging from the military deployment of the 7th Sanctuary. This time, Qiu Tu didn't pay anything, but just used his strength to force the four major sanctuaries to bow?'

Thinking of this, Kou Xuan's eyes couldn't help but look deeper.

'Those are two seventh-level soldiers. And there are also iron troops like the "Iron Maiden Legion". They are no match for Qiu Tu.'

'Qiu Tu. Is he already this strong?'

After pondering for a moment, Kou Xuan put his hands on the desk, then slowly stood up and walked to the window.

Looking out the window at the dark night, he thought quietly,

'But the stronger Qiu Tu is, the less he can lean on him.'

'After all, the strength that the "edge area" can accommodate is limited. The stronger he is, the closer it is for him to leave the "Northwest Region" and go to the "Boundless Heart Sea-Core Area."

'His path to catastrophe is "politics", and theoretically "world official position" can also fit his path.'

'So, if I were him, there is a high probability that before leaving, I would go one step further and become Sanctuary No. 1, then advance to the seventh level, turn my "political" path into a "world official position", and completely get rid of the human camp.

Influence.'

'In this case, he will inevitably pull out new ideas regardless of the consequences to boost his own strength.'

'But precisely because of this, once he leaves the "Northwest Region", with his weak foundation, he will not be able to withstand the backlash that will encourage him to succeed, nor will he be able to maintain such a large family business.'

‘When the time comes, those who follow him will still be in bad luck’

'So, the more talented and powerful he is, the less likely you are to get close to him now.'

'It's a paradox.'

Thinking of this, Kou Xuan couldn't help but sigh slightly.

In fact, in his heart, Qiu Tu is indeed a very suitable partner. He had indeed tried his best to help Qiu Tu plan before.

All the changes were in Qiu Tu, when he defeated the jackals and joined forces with Zhao Ji to kill the nine-headed lion.

Kou Xuan knew that Qiu Tu was a genius before, but he didn't expect that he was such a genius.

If he was just an ordinary genius, then Qiu Tu could consolidate the foundation of his rule in the "Northwestern Region" during the transition years and lay a solid foundation for himself.

At that time, Qiu Tu will become the true king of the entire "Northwest Region", and the Kou family will rely on it to grow into a real towering tree.

But if he is too talented, he will not have much time left for Qiu Tu.

Therefore, Kou Xuan will start looking for a way out for himself and his family again.

This also led to the fact that after the human camp came to find them, he thought about it and finally chose to help conceal the whereabouts of the envoys.

Although this behavior offended Qiu Tu, it did allow the Kou family to regain a foothold in the human camp.

Moreover, Kou Xuan did not directly betray Qiu Tu and join the human camp.

He made a very clever way of "unloading":

After the 3rd and 4th envoys appeared in Fengqi Prefecture under cover of circumstances, he took the initiative to call Qiu Tu and confessed his vacillations and mistakes.

He also made it clear that this time he was sure that the purpose of the envoys was not to forcefully attack Qiu Tu, but just to demonstrate, so he dared to agree.

If the envoys show any chance of taking action against Qiu Tu, he will definitely refuse and report to Qiu Tu.

In addition, he also helped Qiu Tu analyze the situation carefully, and donated a batch of gold bars and disaster materials to Qiu Tu, which was regarded as an apology.

I have to say that the timing of his confession and confession is very clever. It is at the beginning of the matter and there is no big mistake, which can make people more accepting.

Coupled with the sincere attitude of admitting his mistake and the priceless apology, Qiu Tu's 10-point anger was relieved by 8-point.

So, Qiu Tu gave the Kou family a "return gift":

Since the Kou family wants to take sides, they can simply reveal Shen Lingshuang's information to Shen Yuzhou to further gain the favor of the Third Sanctuary.

Kou Xuan seemed to have guessed that there would be this opportunity, so he accepted it without any hesitation or even asking Qiu Tu's purpose.

This also allowed the Kou family to come back immediately after briefly leaving the Qiu Tu camp. It can be said that they have used the "swing" method to its peak.

However, both of them also know: Loyalty is either absolute or absolutely disloyal.

The moment the Kou family chose to hide the 3rd and 4th shelter envoys, Qiu Tu would no longer trust the Kou family, and the two parties would never be able to return to their past.

But this was originally what Kou Xuan wanted.

'Give compensation, help Qiu Tu do things, and continue to cooperate with Qiu Tu, but keep a certain distance and not be close.'

'Concealing the whereabouts of the 3rd and 4th envoy groups and leaking Shen Lingshuang's information to show goodwill to the human camp.'

'It not only pleases Qiu Tu, but also the human camp. Don't offend both sides. Delay time and wait for the follow-up development.'

Thinking like this, Kou Xuan's eyes couldn't help but become deeper.

In fact, if he was just a loner, he would most likely join Qiu Tu's camp without hesitation.

But there is no way he is not alone, but responsible for the entire family.

For a thousand-year-old family, the most important thing is not to reach the top or break out, but to maintain it without risk.

at the same time.

As the four major shelters successively recognized the legitimacy of Qiu Tu's position in the 6th and 7th shelters, they congratulated him.

The atmosphere in the entire living room is becoming more and more harmonious. However, if you look closely, you can still see the vigilance in the eyes of Li Feng and Shen Yuzhou.

In this way, a few people chatted for a few words. After talking about the itinerary of the visit tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, Qiu Tu finally let the two of them go and took the initiative to get up and see them off.

It has to be said that when Qiu Tu's strength is unknown, Qiu Tu's sense of extreme pressure is still very strong.

Both Shen Yuzhou and Li Feng were actually a little nervous during these few hours.

I was afraid that Qiu Tu, a guy who didn't play by the rules, would raise the table and prepare to start a fight if they disagreed.

Therefore, now that Qiu Tu finally agreed to let him go, the two of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After getting up and walking to the door of the living room, Li Feng and Shen Yuzhou declined Qiu Tu's idea of ​​continuing to see each other off.

Qiu Tu also knew that his extreme pressure in the past few hours had made them exhausted, so he did not insist. He just told them to take a good rest.

Finally able to get rid of Qiu Tu, the two of them walked a little more briskly.

However, it was this kind of slackness that prevented them from seeing that "Zhu Wu", who was lagging behind, looked at each other deeply with Qiu Tu, and then nodded suggestively to the living room.

On the way back to the other courtyard, Li Feng and Shen Yuzhou finally had time to talk.

Li Feng glanced at Shen Yuzhou, and then joked, "Didn't Chairman Shen say he wanted to put pressure on Qiu Tu?"

"Do you still want your daughter to take action?"

"Why did you compromise so quickly in the end?"

As a politician, Shen Yuzhou has long lost his sense of shame. He smiled and said, "The price of winning and losing is very different. And it is not proportional to the gain."

"So, after much thought, I finally gave up my original plan."

Hearing Shen Yuzhou's words, Li Feng narrowed his eyes and said bluntly, "Really? I thought it was Qiu Tu who got the handle on you."

"Exactly the same people. One is in the sky and the other is in the mud."

Speaking of this, Li Fengzhuangruo glanced at "Zhu Wu" unintentionally.

The reason why Shen Yuzhou was frightened by Qiu Tu was because he knew that Shen Lingshuang was in Qiu Tu's hands and might have leaked a lot of information.

But Li Feng and Shen Lingshuang have nothing to do with each other, they must be deceiving themselves.

So he said nonchalantly, "President Qiu just told a story casually."

"That story is actually not the key. The key is that he gave me time to think again."

"It was during those few minutes when he told the story that I weighed the pros and cons, the gains and losses, and finally made up my mind."

What Shen Yuzhou said was actually a novel angle and logical, but Li Feng didn't believe it at all.

If Shen Yuzhou changed his mind so easily, he would have changed his mind long ago in the afternoon.

However, she also knew that Shen Yuzhou was an old fox, and if he didn't want to talk, even testing would have no results, so she didn't bother to continue testing, but changed the topic,

"Is Chairman Shen really planning to recognize Qiu Tu's status just like that?"

"You really don't want to test his strength and see if he is bluffing?"
To be continued...
