Let them offer their loyalty!

"I only learned about his background after reading his profile. It turns out he has a deep and impressive background."

Guan Xiao clearly did some homework before coming, so after a brief pause, she continued, "Yes, Shao Gang's father is the second-in-command of the 'Local Armed Alliance'."

"He is arrogant and domineering, ruthless, and has significant power. He not only holds the control of an organized military unit but also maintains private armies."

"After the 'Local Armed Alliance' was established, he seized various opportunities to annex some small and medium-sized armed forces, strengthening the Shao Family's power."

"Because he went too far, he was singled out by Old Rao, forced to give up his position as a member of parliament, and retreated to a secondary role."

"However, this doesn't mean that he has exited the political stage of the Eighth Sanctuary."

"On the contrary, with his retreat to the background, he has more time to nurture his two sons."

"His eldest son, Shao Jie, successfully took over his position after his retreat and joined the Sanctuary Military Committee, becoming a member of the military committee."

"Due to his outstanding political achievements and his father's maneuvering, he successfully regained a Supreme Council Member seat a few years ago."

"This 'Disaster Zone Development Plan' by Huang Shangzong was initiated and designed by him and Huang Shangzong together."

At this point, Guan Xiao paused, then traced circles on Qiu Tu's chest with her slender fingers and said, "Honestly, he was originally the most prominent candidate for the Speaker of the New State within the Sanctuary."

"If it weren't for you, Speaker, perhaps next year, he could have become a Senior Frontier Official holding both a member of parliament role, just like Huang Shangzong."

"This is a crucial opportunity for the ever-ambitious Shao Family."

Truth be told, Guan Xiao knows far more than Qiu Tu does.

Qiu Tu had only noticed Shao Gang, this differently privileged princeling.

Furthermore, he learned that a third of Qiming City's military consists of Shao Family's private troops, exerting strong control.

Moreover, due to Shao Gang's arrogant nature and his tendency to act recklessly, even Guo Huai, who also has a background, could barely suppress him.

Thus, using Shao Gang as a reason, he asked Guan Xiao to conduct inquiries into Qiming City's intelligence.

Unexpectedly... before the inquiry even started, he received a pleasant surprise?

'Shao Family...' Saying the name in his mind, Qiu Tu followed Guan Xiao, saying, "I am indeed a bit worried about the Shao Family."

"I fear they might resort to any means for their ambition to rise."

"So....."

Qiu Tu stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray, then buried his head in Guan Xiao's soft cleanser, speaking muffledly,

"I hope you can establish an intelligence network in Qiming City to help me fully grasp all the situations of all sizes there."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Guan Xiao embraced Qiu Tu's head, allowing him to stick closer.

She then slightly tilted her head back, letting out a comfortable sound from her throat, "As you command, my lord."

Hearing this, Qiu Tu raised his head from her chest and said with a smile, "Come, give your 'big' man a good taste."

Thus, they continued discussing the plans for setting up the intelligence network while also talking about... the population growth plan for Dongye State.

Some time ago, Qiu Tu was already considering establishing his intelligence network and system in Dongye State.

With Rain Butterfly there, the Security Bureau could indeed be useful, but... the Security Bureau was ultimately not established by Rain Butterfly but by Dai Yukang.

Therefore, any intelligence known to Qiu Tu might also be known by Dai Yukang.

When the time comes, variables might easily arise.

Hence, crafting his own intelligence system is imperative.

Qiu Tu had been pondering how to create this intelligence system during this time.

Ultimately, he did come up with a method: Dark Soldiers.

What in this world could be more suitable for gathering intelligence than Dark Soldiers who can hide in the shadows and are absolutely loyal to him?

In addition, with Guan Xiao's 'Mother bug' Cataclysmic ability, it might not be realistic for Qiu Tu to rapidly spread intelligence throughout Dongye State, but fully infiltrating a single city is still possible.

Conveniently, the current plan requires setting up an intelligence network in Qiming City for the "earth vein flower."

Therefore, Qiu Tu planned to have Guan Xiao disguise as ordinary intelligence personnel and use 'Mother bug' and 'Dark Soldiers' as the real trump cards to establish the intelligence system.

As for whether Guan Xiao would betray Qiu Tu after knowing about the 'Dark Soldiers'...

Thinking this, Qiu Tu, who was working hard, raised his head to glance at the top of Guan Xiao's head.

A loyalty score of 87 points proved the loyalty of this woman beneath him.

Moreover, this intelligent and highly ambitious woman had long recognized Qiu Tu's potential and had bet on him early.

Now, as she continuously reaps huge returns, betrayal is not an option for her.

According to information revealed by Muye.

The "earth vein flower" is still growing, expected to fully bloom within 15-30 days, and that will be the opportunity to harvest it.

So, Qiu Tu still has ample time to arrange all this.

Thinking this, after discussing the task of establishing an intelligence network, Qiu Tu continued to engage in deeper conversations with Guan Xiao about Dongye State's population growth plan...

...

Thus, the night passed in silence, with only rousing songs.

The next morning, Qiu Tu got up, then, under Shen Lingshuang's service, got dressed and went to have breakfast.

At this time, Guan Xiao was still sound asleep.

Qiu Tu felt that Guan Xiao was perfect in every way; perhaps her only flaw was being too weak and unable to withstand much hassle.
