Chapter 500: King Kang is seriously ill? (Thanks to the leader "Shindo Chihiro")

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Princess Xi immediately showed a surprised expression on her face.

She said in disbelief, "Me?!"

Perhaps because she was too angry, her fair chest heaved violently.

Princess Xi in the dream was wearing a low-necked luxurious uniform. As she had just given birth to a child, her clothes were so soft and big that when they swayed, Qiu Tu almost fainted.

Qiu Tu knew about motion sickness and seasickness, and it was the first time he knew that people could also get sick from milk.

At this time, Princess Xi didn't pay any attention to Qiu Tu's expression. She looked at Qiu Tu angrily and said, "Who am I?"

"A princess of a country!"

"The entire Sixth Shelter originally belonged to me, and my son will become the king of the entire Sixth Shelter in the future."

"Why should I join the Kirigakure?"

"What benefits can I get from joining the Kirigakure?"

Qiu Tu did not let the small head decide the big head. He carefully looked for loopholes in Princess Xi's words, and then refuted, "Princess, I don't think your reasons are sufficient."

He said, "You just said that the Kou family is now very powerful in the entire Sixth Sanctuary and has occupied half of the Sixth Sanctuary."

"Now you're saying that your family's position is secure. Don't you think that's contradictory?"

Princess Xi’s expression froze.

Qiu Tu stood up and stepped on the luxurious palace floor tiles. As he walked, he analyzed, "In addition to receiving the envoys, I also specifically checked the information of the 6th Shelter and the Kou family."

"The Kou family is the most powerful family in the northwest, with a history of thousands of years and a group of brilliant stars."

"There are great talents, great painters; there are poets."

"And our ancestor Kou Yi, who ranked first in the palace examination, became the top scholar, and eventually became a first-rank official and was granted the title of Earl of Northwest."

"And King Kang got his start with the support of the Kou family."

"The Kou family provided money and people to help King Kang lay the foundation for the entire Sixth Sanctuary."

"In addition, Kou Xuan and Kou Yu are both outstanding in both civil and military affairs. This eventually led to the Kou family and King Kang jointly governing the 6th Sanctuary."

"And when King Kang wanted to ascend the throne, he intervened forcefully, and eventually changed the political system of Sanctuary 6 into a "dual monarchy."

"So, let me say that it could be the other way around."

"You found that the Kou family was powerful, had many talented people, and was ambitious. So you felt a sense of urgency and took the initiative to join the evil god organization, hoping to gain his support."

At this point, Qiu Tu also restored some dignity for Princess Xi, "Of course, you may not want to betray the human camp. You just simply want to take back what you think belongs to your family."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's question, Princess Xi's face turned pale.

Her slender eyebrows were raised coldly, and the majesty and momentum of someone who had held power in a country was surging!
"enough!"

She slammed the long table in front of her, stared at Qiu Tu coldly, and said sternly,

"Chairman Qiu, you are questioning the political stance of a shelter leader!"

Qiu Tu couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

As the princess of the 6th Sanctuary, Princess Xi is indeed a top figure, and can even be considered the No. 2 figure. Corresponding to Elder Tang.

But compared to the great power held by Mr. Tang, Princess Xi's power is too small, she just has a high status.

The interesting thing about politics is that when you are in a high position and have a sense of responsibility, even if you don't have actual power, your words and actions can have a huge impact.

Just like she clearly had no real power, but when she came to Shelter No. 8, both Elder Tang and Elder Pang had to receive her seriously.

Shelter No. 8 will try its best to meet the requirements.

but!
That's the real world!

Now in this dream, there are only myself and Princess Xi. It is really useless for Princess Xi to put on airs in front of me.

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu did not give Princess Xi any face at all.

He walked straight to Princess Xi, pinched her delicate chin with his hand, and then lifted it up hard, forcing Princess Xi to look at him.

Perhaps because she had never been treated so impudently by anyone, Princess Xi's delicate face was filled with shock.

In the dream, Princess Xi was not wearing a veil, so Qiu Tu saw her face clearly for the first time.

Princess Xi has an exquisite oval face, skin as white as porcelain, and a high nose bridge; her azure blue pupils are like two bottomless clear springs, and her long eyelashes are like dancing butterfly wings.

Just one look at it gives you a feeling of amazement.

What’s more important is that she is obviously of a different race from the people of Dongye Prefecture, so she has an exotic charm.

Seeing Qiu Tu being so disrespectful to her, the surprise on her face slowly turned into anger.

She stared at Qiu Tu with her azure eyes and shouted in a dignified voice, "Chairman Qiu, please respect yourself!"

"Do you want to destroy the good relationship between the two shelters?"

After hearing what Princess Xi said, Qiu Tu didn't care at all.

His fingers slid gently across Princess Xi's oval face. It was soft and smooth to the touch, as if it would leave marks if he applied force.

Then, Qiu Tu said bluntly, "Princess, do you dare to tell others?"

"A princess took the initiative to ask a stranger to meet her in her dream late at night. In the end, she was flirted with by the stranger."

"Once this matter gets out, it will immediately become a hot topic among the top leaders of the major shelters."

"And how will you, or your son, raise your head in the human camp in the future?"

"Even if you defeat the Kou family, can your son really become the new king?"

Princess Xi's expression froze.

Obviously, Qiu Tu successfully grasped her lifeline.

However, although Qiu Tu was quite interested in Princess Xi, he also knew that this kind of woman was extremely dangerous.

Whether it is her sensitive identity or the man behind her, both are extremely dangerous.

We must proceed step by step and not rush into anything.

Of course, if you want to do it, you have to determine the status of the two people at the beginning.

They can be allies, they can be partners, Qiu Tu can be on top and she can be at the bottom. But she must never be on top.

After all, her status was too high, two levels lower than Qiu Tu. Once she took the dominant position, it would be difficult for Qiu Tu to take it back.

Therefore, after intimidating Princess Xi, Qiu Tu sat back in his chair and said, "Princess, now you are seeking my help and cooperation."

"Instead of me begging you."

"So, please adjust your attitude."

After hearing Qiu Tu's reminder, Princess Xi's expression changed rapidly.

She wanted to leave immediately, but when she thought about the current corrupt situation in Shelter 6, she knew that now was not the time to be willful.

So she finally sighed deeply, closed her eyes, and used logic to prove herself again.

She said, "The reason why I am not a member of that evil organization is very simple."

"If I really was a member of that evil organization, I wouldn't have to ask for your help."

"It's impossible for Kou Yu to keep me under house arrest."

"If that evil god organization is so incompetent, what's the point of me joining them?" Qiu Tu's expression did not change at all, and he did not even make any statement. Instead, he directly grasped the information revealed in Princess Xi's words and asked, "You are under semi-house arrest by Kou Yu?"

Princess Xi nodded.

Her deep blue eyes were full of deep thought, "Yes."

She said, "My visit to the Eighth Sanctuary this time was ostensibly to investigate the "Boundless Heart Sea Development Plan", but my actual purpose was to get help."

"But he may have sensed my purpose. Not long after we set out, Kou Yu colluded with the anti-government forces in the disaster zone and attacked the envoys."

"During this period, he killed all my maids and servants. He then rejected my request to transfer someone else from the shelter. He directly arranged for the Kou family's maid to closely monitor me."

"Although they did not restrict my movements, they complied with all my requests, whether it was intelligence or activities."

"But I know that this is actually a warning and also a tacit understanding."

"I can only be a mascot peacefully. Once I do something out of line, they will probably break this tacit understanding and really kill me."

Qiu Tu was a little surprised when he heard this.

To silence a princess, has the Kou family become so powerful in Shelter 6?
Aren’t they worried about King Kang’s subsequent revenge?

Perhaps sensing Qiu Tu's doubts, Princess Xi slowly closed her eyes and then revealed a shocking piece of news.

"King Kang is ill."

At that moment, Qiu Tu's pupils shrank slightly, and he suddenly felt that everything was connected.

No wonder Princess Xi's visit was so strange and anxious this time. And the Kou family was so unscrupulous.

It turns out that King Kang is ill
Although it is unclear how powerful King Kang is, he was able to build the 6th Sanctuary and even support the 8th Sanctuary. King Kang's personal ability and strength must be extraordinary.

Qiu Tu guessed that even if there was no peak of the fifth level, there should be a fifth level.

A catastrophist of this level should actually be immune to all poisons and have a long life.

As a result, King Kang is now ill, and it is obviously not a minor illness.

This is probably the reason why the 6th Shelter quickly changed from "the Kou family and King Kang sharing the world" to the Kou family being the only dominant force.

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but look at Princess Xi, and then continued to test, "So, Princess, why did you contact me?"

"It's not like you don't care who becomes the King of Kang, you just want to be the Queen, right?"

Of course, Qiu Tu only complained about the second half of the sentence in his mind and didn’t say it out loud.

Princess Xi said in a deep voice, "Prince Kang's illness is not incurable."

"There is a precious disaster material in the treasury of Shelter 8, called "Third Transformation Snow Lotus."

"It was obtained accidentally by Elder Rao and Elder Tang when they were building the 8th Shelter."

"After this disaster material is refined into a potion, it can repair the soul and restore consciousness."

"I hope I can get this treasure and go back to save King Kang."

Princess Xi paused for a moment and added, "Originally, I wanted to take this opportunity to contact Elder Rao and Elder Tang directly."

"But Kou Yu has put me under house arrest, which has intensified the conflict. I dare not act rashly, so I can only turn to you for help."

"I know that Chairman Qiu is a fifth-level Cataclysm, and you will soon become a high-ranking member of the Fengtian Clan."

"If you can come forward, you can definitely help me convince Elder Tang and Elder Rao to obtain the "Third Transformation Snow Lotus" and save King Kang."

At this point, Princess Xi stood up, bowed to Qiu Tu, and said, "When the time comes, you will be the greatest benefactor of our Shelter No. 6."

"We will definitely treat you with state gifts, and even reserve a "super-grade" position for you in Shelter 6 to express our gratitude."

"Of course, we are not using the "Third Turn Snow Lotus" for nothing. The treasury of our 6th Shelter will also be opened for the 8th Shelter. The 8th Shelter can freely choose the disaster materials, disaster treasures, and supplies it needs until it is satisfied."

As Princess Xi finished speaking, the palace hall fell into silence for a moment.

I have to say that Princess Xi's conditions are indeed very generous.

Super rank is the highest official rank in Shelter 6. It is second only to Prince Kang and Princess Kang, and higher than the first rank.

Ordinary officials simply cannot obtain it. Qiu Tu remembers the records that in the entire Shelter No. 6, only Kou Xuan, the head of the Kou family, is a super-grade person.

In other words, if Qiu Tu really helped Princess Xi save Prince Kang, he would directly become Person No. 6 when he went to Shelter No. 4.

If Kou Xuan is abolished, then he will be number 3.

Although such a position is likely to be in name only, it is enough for Qiu Tu.

With a super-quality official position, he is equivalent to a big shot at the head of Shelter 8, and there is a high probability that he will be promoted through the "Order Path".

As for the reward for Shelter 8, it is not small either. The treasury is open, and you can choose whatever you want.

This is equivalent to using all the power of the country to save King Kang.

If we look at it from the perspective of the collective interests of Shelter No. 6, it will definitely be a losing deal.

But for Princess Xi, a woman who completely relies on Prince Kang's power, it is totally worth it.

After all, without King Kang, Shelter No. 6 would have nothing to do with her.

Saving King Kang, returning to Sanctuary No. 6, and giving his son a chance to succeed to the throne, what are these material possessions worth?
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu was actually a little tempted.

The only question is, can Mr. Rao and Mr. Tang agree?
Although Qiu Tu had little contact with the two leaders, he was able to detect the huge risks lurking in this matter with his strong political acumen.

Even though it is just to treat King Kang, the struggle between King Kang and the Kou family is an internal struggle within the 6th Shelter.

Helping King Kang is equivalent to standing against the Kou family.

This is equivalent to taking sides.

Not to mention that if King Kang is not saved, all efforts will be in vain and the possibility of offending the Kou family will be lost;

Even if King Kang is rescued, the previous King Kang was only 50-50 with the Kou family. Now that he is seriously ill, can he still suppress the Kou family?

The 8th Sanctuary that chose King Kang would inevitably be dragged into the quagmire of the civil war in the 6th Sanctuary.
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu felt that things were a bit difficult for a moment.

No wonder Princess Xi didn't let Ellie hand over the "Dream Invitation" directly to Mr. Rao or Mr. Tang.

If such a request is made directly, it is likely to be evaded by the two old foxes, and a middleman must mediate.

So, that's why you chose me?
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but think of the turning point in Princess Xi's attitude towards him—when she knew that he was at the fifth level of strength.

Qiu Tu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that this woman was indeed not simple.

The reason why the fifth level is a turning point is that in addition to representing Qiu Tu's status in the 8th Shelter, it also means that once Qiu Tu stands on her side, her safety will be immediately guaranteed.

Moreover, once Elder Rao and Elder Tang agreed to the deal, she could also take the opportunity to ask Qiu Tu to escort her back to Shelter No. 6 to treat King Kang.

In order to make the transaction successful and to recoup their profits, neither Mr. Rao, Mr. Tang nor Qiu Tu would refuse such a proposal.

After all, given the Kou family’s current state, they will definitely not allow the “Third Transformation Snow Lotus” to return to the 6th Shelter. They will definitely block it along the way, or even in the 6th Shelter.

And at this time, a fifth-level master is very important.

With Qiu Tu's military deterrence, it is enough to form a balance with the Kou family in a short period of time and keep the situation from getting out of control until King Kang recovers.
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but look at Princess Xi, who was wearing delicate makeup and looked dignified and elegant.

"Tsk, this woman is not simple."

"But, is it possible that I have other options?"
