Regarding Lawrence's decision, Qu Jianlei was a little surprised: Do I still have the hidden talent to develop my downline?
But generally speaking, this is not a big deal after all, so he nodded, "Until the tour group is over."
The group will disband in a day and a half, and he doesn't have much time left for the other party - maybe it will be seen as making things difficult?
But Lawrence didn't think it was a challenge, "One and a half days is enough."
Then the two chatted for a while, drank the bottle of wine worth more than 100,000 yuan, and Lawrence stood up and left.
Not long after, Jing Yuexin came back, "You two had a good conversation."
"Well, that was a good conversation," Qu Jianlei nodded, "Your husband, I am indeed hard-spoken and soft-hearted."
Jing Yuexin could pay attention to the whole conversation between him and Lawrence, so naturally he could do the same.
But as soon as the words came out of his mouth, he regretted it. What did he do to tease her? What a shame!
However, Jing Yuexin was really not angry.
After only being stunned for a moment, she sighed softly, "I never expected that this dignified alliance would reach this stage."
Fortunately, the empire still regards the alliance as its enemy. Who would have thought that the enemy's internal affairs have become so rotten!
Forget about the previous encounters with buying information and applying for identities, I never thought that top secrets like Tianwen would be revealed by others without any hesitation.
The empire also has rebel organizations, but she is very sure that the people of the empire have not yet become so decadent.
If the war was fought based only on the support of the people, the alliance at this moment would have already suffered a complete defeat.
Anyone who has some means is looking for a way out, even B-level awakened people. What hope does this Guojia have?
Qu Jianlei sighed softly, "Maybe this is the dusk of the empire."
Jing Yuexin expressed her confusion, "Empire?"
"I'm not talking about our empire," Qu Jianlei shook his head, "The Alliance, as an interstellar empire, has come to an end."
Speaking of this, he felt a little emotional, the dusk of the empire... had happened too many times on Blue Star.
Persian Empire, Roman Empire, Byzantine Empire, Austro-Hungarian Empire, Britten Empire, Myrican Empire...
Its rise and fall may come and go, but they have one thing in common: before the empire fell, people's hearts had already dispersed.
"It's over..." Jing Yuexin was startled for a moment, then smiled again, "Boss, are you a little optimistic?"
I thought you would call me husband... Qu Jianlei really wanted to joke again.
But in the end, he held back: Why should we be so frivolous?
He shook his head and said, "People's hearts are already broken. You should read more about the history of the empire."
There is no doubt that most people in the empire are not interested in the history of the empire, and Jing Yuexin is no exception.
This is not surprising. How long has it been since we entered the interstellar voyage? The history of the empire... everyone just regards it as history.
As for learning lessons from the experience? Sorry, no.
Sociologists say that modern society is different from ancient society, and all environments and backgrounds are different.
The environment and background are different. Can the experiences and lessons of the ancients be taken over and applied rigidly? Absolutely not!
But someone else said, "The lesson that mankind has learned from history is that it can never learn a lesson."
In fact, it can be explained in plain language: There is nothing new under the sun.
Just like the once globalized Blue Star, who could have imagined that we would encounter unprecedented loyalty?
When the habit of using savings to fight risks was half-induced and half-forced into overdraft consumption, who would have thought of such a crisis?
God bless China, after all, some old ideas are still maintained and have not developed out of control. This is also the reason for the isolation...
Without going into details, I will just say that as time goes by, the awareness of crisis will naturally decrease and it will be considered as a thing of the past.
Therefore, even though Jing Yuexin had studied the history of the empire, she only regarded it as history.
Although she was over 200 years old and almost 300 years old, how could she have imagined that one day she would face a national war?
The empire has experienced rebellions, and there are quite a few of them, such as the Blade Star Territory and the like.
But the National War... has really not been fought for thousands of years.
She knew about Twilight of Empires, but she couldn't understand Twilight of Empires at all...at least not well.
But Jing Yuexin was not an ordinary person after all. She thought for a moment and nodded, "You mean... there will be a rout?"
"A high probability event," Qu Jianlei replied casually, and then smiled again, "Forget it, let's go and see."
On the afternoon of the third day, the tour group was officially disbanded, and Lawrence made an appointment with Qu Jianlei to meet in the evening.
Another couple, the Kahns, who were on annual leave, also exchanged contact information with them.
Among the couple, Kahn is already A-level and has a higher vision, but he can also feel the extraordinary qualities of Qu Jianlei.
The meeting that night was at an exquisite floating hotel. The private room was not only very quiet, but also had a great view.
Qu Jianlei arrived first. He looked at the rippling river and then at the clouds above his head, "A storm is coming."
Jing Yuexin smiled slightly, "Don't you just like this weather?"
Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence came not only in two, but also brought with them a colonel named Bacon.
When he entered the room, he was quite at ease and seemed quite imposing.
But after taking a closer look at Qu Jianlei and the two of them, he became a little more serious.
But generally speaking, his attitude is still a bit arrogant. After all, this is a military star, and he is a high-level officer.
Lawrence introduced him, and Bacon was his cousin... the kind who had a relatively distant relationship.
The reason why these two people are so close is probably because they are the best among the awakened ones.
There is no comparison between Lawrence and Qu Jianlei, but Awakeners who can reach the peak of B-level and reach A-level are also very rare in the league.
Bacon is not a force directly under the alliance, but only a local force in the Zhongliang Star Region.
The colonel stayed for almost an hour and then left saying that the army had business.
Lawrence got up and walked the bacon out to the outside of the hotel.
Then he asked in a low voice, "How do you feel?"
Bacon thought for a moment, then replied in a low voice with a stern face, "I'm afraid... better than me."
"Stronger than you?" Lawrence was slightly surprised when he heard this. He knew how ambitious his cousin was.
Wouldn't that... possibly be the highest? At the very least, there is the possibility of impacting the highest, right?
"Is it the gentleman or the lady?"
Bacon's face became more and more solemn, "Both of them are..."
Then he raised his hand and patted Lawrence on the shoulder, "The background must be good. This opportunity... is worth a gamble."
Inside the room, Qu Jianlei and Jing Yuexin looked at each other: It turned out they were inviting someone to see their strength.
But how could it be possible for a mere A-level person to find out their true cultivation level?
When Lawrence returned, Qu Jianlei was the first to ask, "Does this Bacon... also want to get on the ship?"
Lawrence smiled, "How should I put it? It's human nature to find a way out..."
Jing Yuexin shook her head and murmured softly, "It's really the twilight of the empire."
"Empire...Twilight?" Lawrence glanced at her in surprise.
Thinking that this woman was better than Cousin Bacon, he didn't ask any more questions - besides, she was Yinshan's wife after all.
Then he lowered his voice and said, "I understand this Tianwen question..."
After Lawrence finished his statement, Qu Jianlei nodded slightly and said, "Okay, we will verify the relevant situation."
Lawrence saw this and glanced at Madam. Mrs. Lawrence stood up and said, "I'll get two more bottles of wine."
She can listen to Tianwen's information. Although this thing is highly classified, it is not impossible to talk about it in private chats.
Seriously, it was her husband's plan with the other party, and she must avoid suspicion - even if it was just a show, she had to do it.
Seeing his wife leaving, Lawrence asked aloud, "Then... what should I do next?"
Qu Jianlei replied lightly, "No need."
When Lawrence heard this, his expression suddenly changed slightly, "Brother, what you said is..."
"I've said it all, let's verify it first," Qu Jianlei replied in a deep voice, "If the verification is correct, I will naturally come to you next time if something happens."
Lawrence was stunned for a moment before speaking reluctantly, "I gave you such big news and you got nothing?"
Although it had been agreed beforehand, at this moment, he still felt like he was being voted out by the white woman without giving any information?
Jing Yuexin looked at him deeply, "We all recognize you... Do you know how much this recognition is worth?"
Lawrence shook his head straightforwardly, "I don't know, I just want to find out who I am relying on."
Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment and spoke, "We are currently trying to contact that...Phantom. Well, is this information enough?"
