Upon hearing those extravagant remarks, Princess Xi couldn't help but pause in her hand-washing actions.
Then she snorted coldly, with an expressionless face, remarked, "The Han, Wei, and Zhao families are really regressing more and more."
"The Sanctuary's official letter reads like a joke."
"And the evil Qiu Tu...claws...do they think they are the dia?"
Those who can beco the maids of Princess Xi are obviously her confidants and understand so politics.
Therefore, upon hearing Princess Xi's remarks, the maid softly said, "Perhaps the Seventh Sanctuary thinks this is more infectious?"
Upon hearing the maid's words, Princess Xi calmly said, "Infectiousness, propaganda is for the lower levels."
"Among the upper echelons, there are no personal feelings, only interests."
"If he cannot provide enough benefits, and relies solely on infectiousness, would other Sanctuaries risk offending Qiu Tu to help him?"
"Does he think politics is child's play?"
After speaking, Princess Xi, while having her hair combed by her maid, continued to inquire, "Did Qiu Tu respond?"
The maid thought for a mont, then said, "Lord Qiu seed to directly ignore the official letter from the Seventh Sanctuary."
Upon hearing this, Princess Xi slightly nodded.
For so reason, when it cos to talking about Qiu Tu, she always feels a strange sensation in her heart.
It's not that she has developed feelings for Qiu Tu, or has fallen for him. On the contrary, it's a kind of... very strange feeling.
Like being anxious? Like not understanding? Like being unable to fathom?
If in the past, she still had a basic understanding of Qiu Tu.
Then yesterday, Qiu Tu first betrayed her, then painted her a big picture, and finally directly granted her freedom, indeed left her completely baffled.
What on earth is that guy doing? To catch and release deliberately? Or is he really a gentleman of integrity?
If Qiu Tu knew Princess Xi's thoughts now, he would probably be overjoyed.
Because this is exactly "Emotional Handbook" [108 ways to enhance feelings] No. 68: unfathomable.
Won are a very magical species. They like stability but also enjoy challenges.
However, their nature makes them attracted to those powerful n they cannot control.
This strength may not necessarily be physical power. ntal strength also counts.
Therefore, when they encounter a man who has a certain impact on them but is also mysterious, they involuntarily want to comprehend and understand him.
This gradually places their entire attention on that man, slowly being drawn...
This is also the reason why Qiu Tu, after thoughtful consideration yesterday, decided to completely withdraw from Princess Xi's side, giving her total freedom.
Only this way, Princess Xi would be completely puzzled by what he is doing, thus beginning to endlessly guess about him....
Of course, this is all under ideal conditions.
After all, Princess Xi is no longer a young girl.
Having been trained in the political arena for many years, she may not understand what exactly is poisoning her now, but she still forcefully suppresses the wild thoughts in her heart, trying to focus her mind on serious matters as much as possible.
However... the confusion about the future, the anxiety over power, the incomprehension of Qiu Tu, were like seeds falling into her new field, slowly taking root and sprouting.....
...
anwhile, in the City Lord Mansion, Wangbei City.
Qiu Tu was also receiving Huang Shangzong and Yan Chen, both dressed in black.
Not long ago, Yan Chen finally re-advanced to the Fourth Order after half a year of accumulation.
So the two of them, one in the Fourth Order, the other in the Fifth Order, traveled tirelessly through the night, arriving in Wangbei City early this morning to et Qiu Tu.
When seeing Qiu Tu, the two felt sowhat complicated.
Because... to so extent, both were Qiu Tu's opponents.... No, both were Qiu Tu's enemies.
However, now they were assigned by the Sanctuary to assist Qiu Tu.
What's even more frustrating is that the two, originally fighting with Qiu Tu in Dongye State, finally managed to escape Dongye's quagmire and went to a new world.
Huang Shangzong beca the head of the "Academic Faction," while Yan Chen was sent to serve as Speaker in Nanqu State.
But alas, en route to Nanqu State, they were imdiately summoned by a phone call.
That feeling was akin to being unable to escape Qiu Tu's Five Fingers Mountain....
Upon seeing the two, Qiu Tu's smile was exceptionally sincere, "Welco both of you to join us. Let's sit down and chat...."
That very day, with the help of Huang Shangzong and Yan Chen, Tang Feifei and Princess Xi officially began consolidating the Royalist forces.
On Huang Shangzong's suggestion, the Dongye State army and Royalist army did not forcefully rge using a rigid 1:5 or 1:6 ratio.
Instead, they exchanged smaller groups to enhance communication and cohesion; slightly adjusted middle layer officers; established ideological propaganda officers in each company, among other thods, to alleviate the pain of integration of the two forces.
With the assistance of these two old foxes with extraordinary talent in military and politics, the whole consolidation plan was unprecedentedly smooth and efficient.
Furthermore, besides the top-ranked Xiao Heng and Li Hanxiang, other high-level officials in the Royalist faction were those cultivated by Princess Xi over the years, and they also had their confidants.
Therefore, the integration of the two forces, at least, wasn't as panic-stricken and uneasy as it was yesterday.
This also kept the entire army's combat power at a relatively high level.
According to Huang Shangzong, this was as good as it could be. With a few more small-scale battles, to see blood and gain experience, this army would beco truly usable.
While the Four States were absorbing the Royalist power, Qiu Tu, the Kou family, and Princess Xi were not idle either.
