The housekeeper was overjoyed when he heard that the other party was willing to understand the situation.
He knew very well how closed-minded his distinguished guests were. He almost never left the fiefdom and rarely saw guests.
Moreover, this group of distinguished guests is notoriously tyrannical. Even the government knew this, so they did not urge them after issuing the notice.
"I'll go see you right away and discuss the specific situation in detail."
It didn't take long for Hua Scorpion to figure out the whole story.
It turns out that the empire issued an early warning that "unpredictable risks" may occur in the near future, and the governments of various planets should pay close attention to it.
The empire has not announced what the specific risks are, and Xiaohu has not been able to find relevant information on the Internet.
But what is basically certain is: the matter is definitely not a small matter, otherwise the relevant warnings would not be so vague.
Flower Scorpion can refuse outright. We are just tenants and there is no reason to be recruited.
The key is that no one from the Gustin family is on Qingyuan Planet. Even if someone wants to recruit them, they must have the power to do so.
This is also in line with the ancient rule: retainers of vassals, not retainers of the empire.
However, there may also be some controversy over how the rules should be interpreted.
Hua Scorpion felt a little unsure, so he decisively summoned the boss.
Qu Jianlei already knew what happened, and after arriving he asked directly, "How did you handle the last recruitment?"
The butler's expression was a little embarrassed, "The Gustin family was still here during the last recruitment."
Qu Jianlei frowned slightly, "Is the government unwilling to tell you what the risks are?"
"We asked again and again," the steward replied with certainty, "but they said the government didn't know very well."
"That's a pity," Qu Jianlei replied without hesitation, "We are just tenants, and the government has the obligation to inform us."
"We will only consider taking action after determining the cause...but it is only a consideration, not a necessity."
"Okay, I understand," the housekeeper nodded. It's okay for the tenants to express their opinion. They don't have to make their own decisions.
But he still needed to be sure, "Then what should we do? The master is not here, so it would be best if you could give us an instruction."
Qu Jianlei thought for a moment and replied, "You can patrol above the airspace... just within the atmosphere."
Outside the atmosphere, it does not belong to the scope of the fiefdom. His purpose is to protect the fiefdom - at least he has a posture.
This is not much different from not accepting the call... The butler nodded, "Okay, we will accept your order."
The housekeeper left, and Claire asked curiously, "Boss, why bother with them?"
Now that there are no outsiders, Qu Jianlei answered very straightforwardly, "I'm thinking about whether it has something to do with the wonders of the world."
"If you make a proper gesture, it will be easier for them to inquire about information... Isn't this good?"
Mu Guang really didn't want to get involved, but after hearing this, he couldn't help but speak.
"I'm also looking for information. There is no more information at the moment... Boss, why do you think it will definitely come here?"
Of course, Qu Jianlei couldn't talk about his own physique. "Actually, I hope it will come. It would be best to have a chance to touch it."
"I wanted to buy it at the auction house, but unfortunately I didn't have enough money."
Mu Guang was speechless when he heard this. Everyone else is looking at dangerous things, but you are actually thinking about catching them?
In fact, he also knew that the other party was avoiding his question in disguise: this was not the reason why the wonders of heaven and earth might arrive.
Considering the size of the empire and the number of planets, the probability of that thing appearing on Qingyuan Star is really low.
However, since the other party was unwilling to answer directly, he naturally would not deliberately ask questions, so he just smiled and spoke.
"Boss, if you say that you are poor, then don't I mean that I am extremely poor?"
At this moment, Nutritional Agent came over and said, "As of early this morning, I have not received any relevant new information."
Qu Jianlei hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "Just continue."
After another five or six days, the housekeeper asked Hua Xiezi again, "The government asked us to patrol outside the atmosphere."
Hua Xiezi had already received Qu Jianlei's instructions and said simply, "At most, it will be above the airspace and not anywhere else."
"This is just a suggestion. If you don't agree with it, just pretend I didn't say it."
The housekeeper hesitated and said, "The government requires us to accept management and patrol the area... we may not be able to make the decision."
Hearing this, Hua Xiezi suddenly became furious, "We have no position, you can just make your own choice."
——You’ve made it clear, now you want us to help you carry the thunder?
"Sir, you don't understand," the butler replied with a wry smile, "We are just employees and are not qualified to make representative remarks."
Hua Scorpion was stunned for a moment, and then he realized, "I was negligent."
"But I still want a clear answer, who are you willing to accept the assignment...the government or us?"
"Of course it is the appointment of the distinguished guest," the butler replied without hesitation, "If you listen to the government, there will be a first time and a second time."
Hua Xiezi reacted instantly, "It turns out that I was still worried about being gradually invading my management rights."
But she didn't take it seriously, "Anyway, my attitude is already very obvious."
But that night, Nutritional Agent learned the latest news, "It was the rebels who assassinated the boss of the Ninth Army."
The Ninth Group Army ranks among the military's seven field aces, and is the successor painstakingly cultivated by the military boss.
In particular, this man was assassinated in the Imperial Capital when he was returning to report on his duties.
This man, who usually sits in the army, rarely returns to the imperial capital, but is assassinated. How can people not think too much about this kind of thing?
It is said that when the news spread back to the military headquarters, the military headquarters turned into a gladiatorial arena on the spot.
To be honest, although the Seven Aces Army held a high position and had great authority, they were not able to create such a big disturbance.
Let's just say that although the man who was assassinated was the boss of the Ninth Army, his ranking in the military had just entered the top ten.
However, he is a real man of power, and the Ninth Army sits in the Seventh Army.
When the news reached the Ninth Army, many mutinies immediately broke out, and the soldiers went to the Imperial Capital for an armed march to demand an explanation.
Of course, this news was strictly sealed, which means that only the nutritional supplements with high abilities could know it.
However, Qu Jianlei still didn't understand, "What does this kind of thing have to do with Qingyuan Star?"
Nutritional Agent's face was straight, "Qingyuan Star is not to be underestimated. The support of the entire aristocratic group...isn't it important?"
The aristocracy has completely declined in the empire, but it is still a group that cannot be ignored.
Especially in local disputes, any small variable may change the situation of the war, not to mention that this force is definitely not small.
Qu Jianlei agreed with his judgment, but was still a little surprised, "Really want to fight?"
"How can such a thing be so certain?" The nutritional agent replied nonchalantly, "The main thing is to be prepared."
It can be seen that, like Qu Jianlei, he has little interest in the battles in the government.
Immediately afterwards, he added, "But there is evidence that someone in the military may be eyeing the space fluctuation point."
Qu Jianlei thinks this reason is more reliable. After all, there are tangible benefits involved.
At that time, it was the military that was eyeing space fluctuation points, but the military was not monolithic.
The disputes within the military may be more intense than imagined.
Who among Xiao Moshan, Si Dangjia and Youyou in Qu Jianlei's team was not tricked by his own family?
However, no matter which of these two reasons is more dominant, it has nothing to do with him. Everyone has nothing to do with the military now.
What he really cares about is, "Since it has nothing to do with the wonders of the world, why should it be involved?"
The nutritional supplement replied calmly, "You have to find a reason. Wonderful things in the world don't make excuses. Isn't that just right?"
"Besides, who can guarantee that it won't matter? Maybe it does. Maybe... the things in front are just smoke bombs."
Qu Jianlei found his attitude very interesting, "I didn't expect that at such a young age, you could see these things more thoroughly than me."
Nutritional Agent waved his hand nonchalantly, "There are only a few possibilities anyway, think more about it and be prepared."
While they were chatting, a dozen capable guards were patrolling a manor in the Free Zone on Qingyuan Planet.
In a living room of the manor, a man and a woman were sitting and talking.
The man was middle-aged, tall and tall, with a military temperament. "Those people still didn't respond."
"I don't care about that," the woman shook her head, her gray hair swaying, "This is a rare opportunity."
The man sighed softly, "There are already three breaches in the barrier. Once the fourth one appears and the news gets out, the empire will be in turmoil."
A trace of cruelty flashed across the woman's wrinkled face, "If you can seal it three times, you can seal the fourth..."
"What I want is repayment with blood, and I won't consider anything else."
The man hesitated for a moment and slowly shook his head, "This cannot happen on Qingyuan Star. It will cause the anger of the nobles. You can't afford it!"
The woman replied expressionlessly, "This is your business. We have waited too long."
Three days later, nutritional supplements came to Qu Jianlei again.
He said seriously, "The rebel alliance has been very active recently, and the military has already made a motion to call in civilian force."
Qu Jianlei really didn't understand this. Xiaohu's ability to collect intelligence was very strong, but it was only limited to the planet he was on.
"Are people like us passing by also included in the recruitment scope?"
Recruiting passers-by is a bit unreasonable, but what he wants to know is whether the opponent's ability can save the team from being called up.
The nutritional agent thought about it and replied, "It is unlikely that Qingyuan will be recruited, but the housekeeper has already responded to the government's call."
Qu Jianlei's face turned dark when he heard this, "Before this, the government was setting a trap for us?"
Even if you are patrolling your own airspace, it is equivalent to obeying the government's instructions, so the next order will come naturally.
Of course, this small difference is not worth mentioning in the face of absolute strength, and the team can ignore subsequent orders.
But being designed like this, Qu Jianlei was still a little unhappy.
Nutrient hurriedly said, "Boss, don't be angry. I will coordinate with others to fight for it."
