According to intelligence, the political structure of the Third Sanctuary is similar to that of the Eighth Sanctuary, with the Supreme Council holding the highest power.
But compared to the current relatively barbaric political structure of the Eighth Sanctuary, the Third Sanctuary is more mature.
Qiu Tu took a closer look and felt that the political structure of the Third Sanctuary was somewhat similar to the "parliamentary republic" in the previous life.
Although there are multiple factions among their top leaders, the competition between the factions is more bloody, cruel and regular.
They don't sit in a row like the Eighth Sanctuary and divide the results. Instead, they will tear everything down every five years, and then each faction will re-select and compete for the 36 seats in the parliament.
The faction that can occupy the most seats in the new parliament will form a new government and become the new ruler.
Just a year ago, the Third Sanctuary experienced a new bloody election. In the end, the "Lawful Faction" successfully won the most parliamentary seats, became the ruling faction, and formed a new government.
After understanding the political system of the Third Sanctuary, Qiu Tu frowned slightly, and then his eyes quickly dropped to the list of speakers of the new parliament.
King Kong Bin, Barron Gross, Wanyan Zuyu, Cornelia.
When he saw the last one, Qiu Tu's eyes paused slightly because the name "Shen Yuzhou" was clearly written on it.
'It seems that this person really exists.'
Thinking like this, Shen Lingshuang's suspicion in Qiu Tu's heart plummeted.
He rummaged through the information in his hand.
As the deputy speaker of a state, Qiu Tu is actually only two steps away from the core level of the shelter. Therefore, he has very high permission to read confidential information.
The surface information of the Third Sanctuary's senior officials is considered confidential, but it has little confidentiality value, so it is very comprehensive.
So, it didn't take long for Qiu Tu to find several pages of information about Shen Yuzhou.
According to the intelligence, Shen Yuzhou is forty-two years old and is a young man in the "Lawful Department" of the Third Sanctuary, and he is also the leader of the young man.
His origin is unknown. He was a child picked up by the leader of the lawful department during an outing. He has been studying and growing up with the leader, and then gradually became the backbone of the "lawful department".
Later, he married the daughter of another high-ranking faction leader and gave birth to a daughter named Shen Lingshuang.
When Qiu Tu saw this, he paused for a moment. Then he turned to the next page.
What appeared on the next page was the familiar smiling face of a girl, who turned out to be Shen Lingshuang.
'call'
At that moment, Qiu Tu was inexplicably relieved.
It seems that Shen Lingshuang did not lie to herself. Her name and identity are all true.
So from this point of view, she should not be that "special catastrophic material".
In this case, there should be no direct confrontation between myself and the fifth-level peak evil god.
This gave Qiu Tu a lot of room for mediation.
As for that special catastrophic material, what should I do if I am a novice?
Hmm. The relationship between Xiaobai and Qiu Tu is not that deep after all.
Although Qiu Tu can protect it, he will still protect it, and he will use it by himself if he can, but if he really finds that something cannot be done, he will choose to give up without hesitation.
After having such "enlightenment", Qiu Tu's mood became extremely relaxed.
As if he was getting to know Shen Lingshuang's family, he slowly looked through the information on Shen Yuzhou and Shen Lingshuang.
According to the information, Shen Yuzhou has a very good relationship with his wife and daughter. He is a very capable man who also cares about his family.
Shen Lingshuang also showed a lot of talents very early on.
For example, she has an excellent "potion" talent and once discovered how to use 12 kinds of cataclysmic materials.
For example, she has a strong talent for "tool making" and has improved 5 commonly used "catastrophic treasures".
For example, she also has a very good "cultivation" talent. She has become a fourth-level peak cataclysm before the age of 18.
When he first saw the previous pieces of information, Qiu Tu was a little careless.
——After all, although Shen Lingshuang's refined "Catastrophic Potion" and the "Catastrophic Noble Phantasm" she made always have various strange effects, at her age, it is not a problem to have a talent.
But when he saw the last description of Shen Lingshuang's strength, Qiu Tu was stunned at first, and then his eyes suddenly opened wide!
Wait a minute!
At the age of 18, a fourth-level peak catastrophe?!
Qiu Tu couldn't help but exert force, and the pile of information in his hand suddenly had a few more wrinkles.
The sound of scraping paper reminded Qiu Tu that Tao Yaoyao was standing opposite him.
After all, this matter is related to Shen Lingshuang's secret, and Tao Yaoyao's loyalty cannot be fully trusted.
So he quickly and calmly adjusted the strength of his hands to avoid losing his composure.
It's just that although he can adjust the strength of his hands, he can't adjust his inner mood.
Because if he remembered correctly, Shen Lingshuang seemed to have always been an ordinary person.
Even when Qiu Tu was strange at first, she explained to Qiu Tu that the senior management of the shelter actually did not dare to let their children awaken casually.
After all, after embarking on the road of catastrophe, there are many unpredictable dangers. The stronger the strength, the more susceptible it is to the influence of the path and the law. It may be distorted, go crazy, or be assimilated by the path.
Therefore, for the safety of their children, many people in senior management did not allow their children to undergo disaster awakening.
However, now, the intelligence shows that the "real Shen Lingshuang" is actually a catastrophic! And he is a peak fourth-order powerhouse like himself!
This is completely inconsistent with Shen Lingshuang's strength and what she said.
What the hell is going on!
Could it be that Shen Lingshuang deliberately hid her strength and deceived herself, but she was actually a master?
As soon as this idea came up, Qiu Tu rejected it immediately.
Because after the information introduced the various situations of Shen Yuzhou and Shen Lingshuang, the last paragraph was just updated a month ago.
It read: Shen Yuzhou and his only daughter Shen Lingshuang, on behalf of the Third Sanctuary, attended the "King's Dinner" of the Sixth Sanctuary and had a friendly meeting with the leaders of the Sixth Sanctuary, "Kang Wang" and "Princess Xi".
At the bottom of the information, there is also a photo.
The photo was taken in a magnificent palace. Four people were sitting at the dining table and toasting.
Sure enough, there was a girl sitting there wearing a black puffy princess dress, a veil, and light makeup, looking like a night elf.
She has a face that is exactly the same as Shen Lingshuang's, but she doesn't have Shen Lingshuang's silly sweet smile, and instead has a confident and ambitious face.
If Shen Lingshuang is a college student with clear eyes and stupidity, then that girl is like the president of the female student union in the university who has a high self-esteem but is all-rounded.
'What the hell is going on?!'
Thinking like this, Qiu Tu's IQ was a little unclear about the truth of the matter.
If all this is just a coincidence, and the two girls just look a bit alike, then why do their family backgrounds and names have exactly the same?
If these two girls are the same person, then why are one in Tiannan and the other in Haibei, and their personalities are so different?
If they are twin sisters, then it is impossible for them to share the same name, and they even have the same talents and the same things they are good at, right?
Although Shen Lingshuang's "refining medicine" and "making instruments" always have some strange side effects, it is undeniable that this is indeed what she is good at, and the quality is indeed good.
'There's a problem. A big problem.'
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but think of Shen Lingshuang, an ordinary person who came from the third shelter to the eighth shelter. With such a distinguished status, there were no guards around him; and Shen Yuzhou didn't even come to look for him after being lost for so long.
Suddenly it felt like the problem was bigger.
'Could it be that Shen Lingshuang is really the special material for disaster?'
'I just don't know why. I have the memory of the "real Shen Lingshuang"?'
I don’t know if it was a secret induction, but as soon as this conjecture was born, it has been lingering in Qiu Tu’s mind, and it has been unable to go away for a long time.
The light in the small hall was dim and weak, like a lingering candlelight, quietly shining on Qiu Tu's body.
Qiu Tu was sitting on the sofa and recliner, with no expression on his face.
Outside the window next to him, light snow suddenly started blowing. Each one was like ashes falling from the sky, shrouding the dark world in a gloomy paleness.
After being quietly lost in thought for a moment, Qiu Tu closed the information in his hand, then looked up at Tao Yaoyao, "Okay, Secretary Tao, if you don't have anything else to do, just go back and rest first."
From the moment she entered the house, Tao Yaoyao's nerves had actually been a little nervous.
After staying with Qiu Tu for half a month, Tao Yaoyao knew how much her boss liked beauties and how many fat and thin women were around him.
Therefore, although she still does not want to lose her virginity to Qiu Tu, in fact, when she chose to join Qiu Tu, she had already prepared for the worst.
After all, in troubled times, chastity is important, but it is not that important.
So, today, when she saw Qiu Tu's clothes were so loose that even the big plane was exposed, her heartbeat began to accelerate.
And when Qiu Tu invited her to sit in the room, she was even more worried that Qiu Tu was going to take action tonight.
This made her a little distracted and uneasy from the moment she entered the room, and she didn't even pay much attention to Qiu Tu's expression when he read the information.
As a result, she worried about herself for a long time, and that's it?
Are you letting yourself go?
For a moment, Tao Yaoyao was a little confused whether Qiu Tu was playing hard to get or whether he really wanted to let her go.
Therefore, a puzzled expression appeared on her pretty face, and then she tentatively pointed to the door and asked, "Then Speaker, am I really leaving?"
Qiu Tu's brain was working at full capacity now, and he didn't notice anything unusual about Tao Yaoyao at all.
So he waved his hand indifferently, "Go back and have a good rest."
After hearing Qiu Tu's words, Tao Yaoyao couldn't tell whether she should be happy or disappointed for a moment.
She walked towards the door step by step with her slender legs, feeling a bit unreal: her boss has become a vegetarian?
With this thought in mind, Tao Yaoyao walked to the door, put her hand on the door handle, and prepared to open the door and walk out.
As a result, the moment she exerted her strength, Qiu Tu suddenly stopped her again.
"Right."
Hearing Qiu Tu's voice, Tao Yaoyao suddenly raised her head, then quickly turned around and asked softly, "What's the matter, Speaker?"
Qiu Tu leaned on the sofa, frowned, lit a cigarette, and said, "I remember when we first met, you told me that you liked and were good at musical instruments."
"So I asked someone to buy some musical instruments for you today, including Xiao, flute, and guzheng. They are all placed in the guest room next to you. You can take a look."
After saying that, Qiu Tu took a puff of cigarette and waved his hand nonchalantly again, "Let's go."
Tao Yaoyao:??
In this way, Tao Yaoyao left Qiu Tu's room with a question mark, and then returned to her own room.
After returning to her room, Tao Yaoyao sat quietly for a while, then suddenly stood up, clenched her fists, and shouted silently several times!
Aren’t you pretty enough? Aren’t your breasts big enough? Aren’t your legs long enough?
Why don't you even leave yourself to do it?
He is so enthusiastic about other women and has all kinds of hookups, so why don't he just eat the grass on the side of his nest?
This is so insulting!
The more I think about it, the angrier Tao Yaoyao gets!
Just like this, she sulked quietly for a few minutes. Tao Yaoyao couldn't help but think of the "gift" Qiu Tu told her.
'Isn't it that the Speaker is not interested in me? He just respects me more? Want to impress me with his sincerity?'
'After all, if he wasn't interested in me, why would he buy me an instrument?'
Thinking like this, Tao Yaoyao suddenly felt much better. So she hesitated for a moment, opened the door and walked to the next door. Ten minutes later, the sound of the piano sounded.
What she didn't know was that along with the sound of the piano, the door of another guest room quietly opened, and then a dark figure quietly walked into the master bedroom of the villa.
"Dong dong dong."
With a crisp knock on the door, Qiu Tu, who had just frowned and finished smoking, looked up at the door and asked in a deep voice, "Who is it?"
A familiar female voice, holding her throat, sounded outside the door, "Practice seeker."
Qiu Tu:??
This sentence made Qiu Tu almost laugh out loud.
Guan Xiao, this woman, is extremely capable, and more importantly, her ability to coax herself is not weak either.
You should usually do things, and occasionally have some fun, so that you can impress her and feel novel and interesting at the same time.
Thinking like this, Qiu Tu suppressed his irritability and cooperated, "Practice seeker, what can I do for you?"
Guan Xiao, who was outside the door, pinched his nose and continued to speak softly, "The slave family wants to ask for the true scripture. I wonder if the speaker can give it to me."
Qiu Tu smiled and said to the door, "It all depends on your 'means' and 'eloquence'."
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Guan Xiao was obviously dissatisfied. She continued to pinch her nose and asked in a soft voice, "Is it enough to just use means and eloquence?"
"The slave family has always heard that it is better to travel a hundred miles than to read thousands of books. Don't I need to show my sincerity by 'practicing my own practice' to learn the scriptures?"
Qiu Tu was really amused by Guan Xiao. He smiled and put out his cigarette in the ashtray, and then said with a serious face, "Of course. So, come in, learner."
Hearing Qiu Tu's agreement, Guan Xiaogou opened the door slyly, and then looked at Qiu Tu with a bright smile.
She has a face that has attracted countless people's attention. Her facial features are as delicate as carefully carved works of art, and her pair of foxy eyes are slightly raised at the corners, outlining a natural charm.
She might have wanted to come here early tonight, so she took a bath, dressed up, and put on light makeup, which made her look even brighter.
This is a woman who attracts countless bees and butterflies wherever she goes.
Seeing her, Qiu Tu put the information aside and waved to her.
Guan Xiao turned around and locked the door, then walked to Qiu Tu's side obediently, squatted down, and laid his head on Qiu Tu's lap.
This woman seems to be born knowing how to please a man.
So she lay on Qiu Tu's lap and said softly in her unique charming voice, "Speaker, I miss you so much~~"
Hearing this, Qiu Tu smiled and touched her silky hair, and said with a smile, "Open your mouth."
If it were any other woman at this time, she would probably be shy at this time, but Guan Xiao was obviously different. She chuckled, then opened her mouth and said, "Ah~~"
"Come on~ Speaker~~"
Seeing this, Qiu Tu picked her up with a smile, put her on his lap, and began to teach the scriptures.
The two had just explored each other's body not long ago, so this time they became more familiar with each other.
Not long after, Qiu Tu arrived at the "pass" and there must be a road, and began to break through the pass.
It's just that level, after all, it was just developed not long ago, so it is extremely difficult to break through, and you can only break through it again and again.
And just when he was fiercely breaking through the barrier, Qiu Tu also inexplicably remembered what Yanyan said to him when he called on the way home.
It seems that I and the Director of the New Territories City Investigation Department are destined to be together.
When you are not the director, you can work as the director; when you become the director, you can work hard as the director; now that you have been promoted to speaker, you can still work as the director.
Of course, this also shows that I am a nostalgic person. Even if I leave the New Territories City Investigation Department, I will not forget to make a contribution to the New Territories City Investigation Department.
In this way, accompanied by the music of the piano on the first floor of the villa, the wind and rain continued in the house for several hours.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, Qiu Tu slowly woke up.
I don't know when Guan Xiao left, leaving only the faint fragrance on her body.
Qiu Tu felt much better as he recalled the smell of this bright beauty.
After tidying up, I went downstairs. Three beauties were eating breakfast there.
Seeing Qiu Tu, the three women stood up quickly and greeted, "Hello, Speaker~~" "Speaker." "Qiu Tu."
Qiu Tu looked over one after another. Guan Xiao, who had been nourished for a night, was as bright as a peach blossom. Her face was rosy and so tender that she could squeeze out water.
Tao Yaoyao, who was ranked second, didn't know why, but not only her hands were a little red, but there were also faint dark circles on her face, as if she hadn't slept well.
As for Shen Lingshuang, she was yawning and looking careless and cute.
His eyes stayed on Shen Lingshuang for a moment. Qiu Tu used "Spirit Vision", "Psychic Power Scan", "Order Line" and "Faction Cloud" in order to observe Shen Lingshuang.
As a result, there was nothing unusual except that this girl was "building a greenhouse with peanuts".
Qiu Tu calmly looked away, sat down at the dining table, and then invited the three girls to eat together.
Guan Xiao and Shen Lingshuang sat down and continued to eat, while Tao Yaoyao walked up to Qiu Tu competently and whispered in Qiu Tu's ear, "Speaker, I got news that Speaker Huang called Liu last night.
The Deputy Speaker, Deputy Speaker Ye and Director Dai held a meeting all night long."
"They didn't disperse until 5 o'clock in the morning."
"After that, the three deputy speakers were missing, and the speaker did not leave the office."
Hearing Tao Yaoyao's words, Qiu Tu nodded slightly, patted her arm, and said softly, "Eat first."
Tao Yaoyao said "hmm", sat down next to Qiu Tu, and started eating.
After a while, after the meal was finished, Qiu Tu rinsed his mouth, then went to the cloakroom of the villa, and changed into the speaker's uniform under the service of Shen Lingshuang.
While changing clothes in the cloakroom, Qiu Tu looked in the mirror and asked unconsciously, "Lingshuang, do you miss your parents?"
After hearing Qiu Tu's words, Shen Lingshuang, who was lowering her head to tie Qiu Tu's buttons, couldn't help but pause slightly.
Then she raised her head, wrinkled her nose, thought for a moment, shook her head and said, "I don't want to."
Hearing this, Qiu Tu asked curiously, "Why?"
Shen Lingshuang lowered her head and continued to fasten Qiu Tu's buttons, then pouted and said carelessly, "What's the reason for this?"
"If you don't want to, you just don't want to. It's good for me to be by your side. Although your character is not very good and you are still carefree, you are still okay with me."
Qiu Tu:
This doesn’t seem to be a compliment!
While complaining in his heart, Qiu Tu also recalled it. He vaguely remembered that Shen Lingshuang told him that she fled to the eighth shelter because of a sudden disaster at home. (Chapter 20)
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask, "By the way, I remember you said something happened to your family?"
"What's going on?"
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Shen Lingshuang frowned and then asked, "Did I say something happened to my family?"
Qiu Tu nodded.
Shen Lingshuang seemed to have really forgotten. She thought hard for a while, and then said, "I forgot."
She seemed to finally realize something was wrong, then frowned and thought, "I forgot why I left home."
"I only remember that my father is Shen Yuzhou, the deputy speaker of the Supreme Council of the Third Sanctuary. My mother's name is Shi Rong, and her family comes from a medical family."
"They are very kind to me, but they are also very strict. They asked me to learn how to make medicine and make utensils since I was a child."
"I have some talent, so I learn quickly and am called a genius by many people."
Hearing this, Qiu Tu pretended to be joking, "The potions and catastrophic treasures you make have all kinds of weird side effects. Are you considered a genius?"
When Shen Lingshuang heard this, she puffed up her little chest and said, "What's the matter? If you can do it, it's already great, okay!"
"Okay, okay~" Qiu Tu smiled and touched her head, and then asked, "By the way, I remember that your parents still haven't allowed you to awaken from the disaster?"
Shen Lingshuang nodded cutely, "Yes. Catastrophe awakening is so dangerous. No one knows if there will be any problems."
"In addition to me being a girl, they don't ask me to do much in my career. I just need to have skills to help me in troubled times."
Hearing this, Qiu Tu nodded slightly.
Because it was just a casual chat, Shen Lingshuang did not become suspicious and continued to help Qiu Tu get dressed after the conversation.
But Qiu Tu's eyes became extremely dark.
Weird, really weird.
Although Shen Lingshuang had forgotten what disaster her family had encountered, her other memories were complete, systematic and logical.
This shouldn't be a fake memory created by someone.
But in reality, the speaker's only daughter had a similar but slightly different development experience to her.
The two of them are like the same person in different timelines
What the hell is going on?
How do you solve this mystery?
With countless doubts, Qiu Tu got into the car and was escorted by a motorcade to the parliament building.
Today he has a very heavy task. In addition to paying attention to the situation of the "Blood Sacrifice Plan", he also has to go to the Tribunal to refresh his sense of existence.
With this thought in mind, the motorcade quickly stopped in front of the parliament building.
Tao Yaoyao got out of the car and helped Qiu Tu open the door. Qiu Tu got out of the car and then casually ordered, "Call the court and tell me that I will come over to inspect in an hour and a half."
"No one is allowed to be absent for any reason."
"If you're absent, don't blame me for trying to scare the monkeys."
"Yes." After hearing Qiu Tu's words, Tao Yaoyao nodded seriously, then walked aside and made a phone call.
As a true professional secretary, as early as the first day when Qiu Tu became the Speaker, he had stored the telephone numbers of various departments in the state and the three major institutions in each city in the communicator, so that he could be contacted at any time.
Without waiting for Tao Yaoyao to call, Qiu Tu took Shen Lingshuang and Guan Xiao and walked towards the parliament building.
Take the elevator and arrive at the Speaker's Floor on the 18th floor.
With a crisp "ding" sound, the elevator door slowly opened, and the soft conversation outside the door also entered the elevator.
"Yanyan, are you going to see Judge Yan later? Then who will accompany Xue'er?"
"When I come to the state, I must go see my father. If Xue'er is bored, why don't you come with me to the trial court? There might be something interesting there."
"What's so good about the Inquisition?"
Xue'er's words came to an abrupt end before she finished speaking, because in the opened elevator door, Qiu Tu was standing inside.
Three guards and Shen Lingshuang, Guan Xiao surrounded him, his eyes were indifferent and majestic, like a big shot reaching the sky
Ai Li, Yanyan and Xue'er have actually met Qiu Tu many times before; Ai Li and Yanyan have even had skin-to-skin contact with Qiu Tu, but this is the first time they have met the speaker who took over the role in the parliament building. The journey of power.
At that moment, inexplicably, they felt that Qiu Tu was like a god.
In addition, she might have a guilty conscience, so Ellie immediately lowered her head and greeted softly, "President Qiu."
Seeing Qiu Tu and the contrasting girl Yanyan who had just designed an "evil plan" last night, a hint of excitement clearly flashed in her eyes.
But she didn't dare to show it directly, so she pretended to be naive and greeted her purely and reservedly, "Hello, Speaker."
Among the three girls, only Xueer had the noblest status and the most perverse temperament. So when she saw Qiu Tu, she snorted and turned away.
