Chapter 1603 Empire Twilight

Qu Jianlei was a little surprised by Lawrence's decision: Could it be that I have a hidden talent for developing downlines?

But generally speaking, this is not a big deal after all, so he nodded, "Until the tour 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 problem. "A day and a half is enough."

Then the two chatted for a while, finished the bottle of wine worth more than 100,000 yuan, and Lawrence got up and said goodbye.

Not long after, Jing Yuexin came back, "You two had a good talk."

"Well, the conversation went well," Qu Jianlei nodded, "I, your husband, am indeed a tough-mouthed person with a soft heart."

Jing Yuexin could pay full attention to the conversation between him and Lawrence, so naturally he could do it too.

But he regretted it as soon as he said it. Why did he flirt with her? He was such a jerk!

However, Jing Yuexin was not really angry.

After being stunned for a moment, she sighed softly, "I never thought that such a great alliance would come to this point."

Fortunately, the Empire still regards the Alliance as a formidable enemy. Who could have imagined that the other side has become so rotten internally!

The previous experiences of buying intelligence and obtaining identities were fine, but I never thought that someone would blurt out such top-secret information as Tianwen.

There were also resistance organizations in the empire, but she was certain that the morale of the people in the empire had not yet become so decadent.

If war was fought based solely on public opinion, the alliance would have already been defeated miserably at this moment.

Anyone who has some ideas is looking for a way out, even B-level awakeners are doing this. What hope is there for Guojia?

Qu Jianlei sighed softly, "Perhaps, this is the twilight of the empire."

Jing Yuexin was very confused, "Empire?"

"I'm not talking about our empire," Qu Jianlei shook his head. "As an interstellar empire, the Alliance has reached its end."

Speaking of this, he felt a little emotional. The twilight of the empire...it had happened too many times on Blue Star.

Persian Empire, Roman Empire, Byzantine Empire, Austro-Hungarian Empire, Bretten Empire, Myricane Empire...

Its rise was rapid and its fall was sudden, but they had one thing in common: before the empire fell, people's hearts had already been dispersed.

"The curtain has fallen..." Jing Yuexin was stunned for a moment, then smiled again, "Boss, are you a little optimistic?"

I thought you would call me sir... Qu Jianlei really wanted to make another joke.

But in the end, he held back: Why should a person be so frivolous?

He shook his head. "People's hearts have been scattered. You should read more about the history of the empire."

There is no doubt that most people in the empire nowadays are not interested in the history of the empire, and Jing Yuexin is no exception.

This is not surprising. How long have we been in interstellar navigation? The pre-history of the empire... everyone just treats it as history.

As for lessons learned? Sorry, not really.

Sociologists say that modern society is different from ancient society, and all the environments and backgrounds are different.

The environment and background are different now. Can we apply the experience and lessons of the ancients rigidly? Absolutely not!

But there are also some people who say, "The lesson that mankind has learned from history is that it will never learn a lesson."

In fact, it can be explained in simple terms: there is nothing new under the sun.

Just like the once globalized Blue Planet, who could have imagined that it would encounter unprecedented friendship?

When the habit of using savings to hedge against risks is half-induced and half-forced into overspending, who has ever thought of this crisis?

God bless China. After all, some old ideas are still maintained and have not developed beyond control. This is also the confidence of the isolation...

I won’t go into details, but just say that as time goes by during peaceful times, people’s sense of crisis will naturally decrease, and they will think that it’s all a thing of the past.

Therefore, even though Jing Yuexin had studied the prehistory of the empire, she only regarded it as history.

Although she is over two hundred and almost three hundred years old, she never imagined that one day she would face a national war.

The empire has experienced rebellions, quite a few of them, such as the Blade's Edge.

But national wars... really haven't been fought for thousands of years.

She knew about the Twilight of the Empire, but she couldn't understand it at all...at least not very well.

But Jing Yuexin is not an ordinary person after all. She thought for a moment and nodded, "You mean... there will be a rout?"

"It's a high probability event," Qu Jianlei answered casually, and then smiled again, "Forget it, let's wait and see."

On the afternoon of the third day, the tour group officially disbanded, and Lawrence made an appointment to meet with Qu Jianlei in the evening.

Another couple, the Kahns, who were older and on annual leave, also exchanged contact information with them.

In this couple, Kahn is already A-level and has higher standards, but he can also feel the extraordinaryness of Qu Jianlei and the other.

The meeting that evening was held in an exquisite waterfront hotel. The private room was not only very quiet but also had an excellent view.

Qu Jianlei and the other arrived first. He looked at the rippling river surface, then at the dark clouds above his head, "The storm is about to come."

Jing Yuexin smiled slightly, "Don't you like this kind of weather?"

The Lawrence couple did not come alone, they also brought a colonel named Bacon.

When he entered the room, he was quite confident and looked quite imposing.

However, after taking a closer look at Qu Jianlei and the other man, he became a little more serious.

But generally speaking, his attitude was still a bit arrogant. After all, this was a military planet, and he was an officer of a high rank.

Lawrence introduced Bacon as his cousin...but a distant one.

The reason why these two people can be so close is probably because they are both the best among the awakened ones.

There is no comparison between Lawrence and Qu Jianlei, but it is rare in the league to be an awakener at the peak of B level who may be able to reach A level.

Bacon is not from the alliance's direct forces, but from the local forces of the Zhongliang star field.

The colonel stayed for about an hour and then left, saying that he had some military business.

Lawrence stood up and walked the bacon out to the outside of the hotel.

Then he whispered, "How does it feel?"

Bacon thought for a moment, then replied in a low voice with a sullen face, "I'm afraid... he's better than me."

"Better than you?" Lawrence was slightly surprised. He knew how arrogant his cousin was.

Doesn't that mean... it's possible to be the Supreme? At the very least, there's a possibility of impacting the Supreme, right?

"Is it the gentleman or the lady?"

Bacon's expression became more serious. "Both of them..."

Then he raised his hand and patted Lawrence on the shoulder, "He must have a good background. This opportunity... is worth a gamble."

Inside the house, Qu Jianlei and Jing Yuexin looked at each other: It turned out that they had invited people to come and see their strength.

But how could a mere A-level figure reveal their true abilities?

When Lawrence came back, Qu Jianlei asked first, "Does this Bacon... also want to get on board?"

Lawrence smiled and said, "How should I put it? It's human nature to look for a way out."

Jing Yuexin shook her head and muttered softly, "It really is the twilight of the empire."

"Empire...Twilight?" Lawrence looked at her in surprise.

Thinking that this woman was better than his cousin Bacon, he did not ask any more questions - besides, she was Yinshan's wife after all.

Then he lowered his voice and said, "I have learned about this question..."

After Lawrence finished his statement, Qu Jianlei nodded slightly, "Okay, we will verify the relevant situation."

Seeing this, Lawrence glanced at his wife, and Mrs. Lawrence stood up and said, “I’ll go get two more bottles of wine.”

She can eavesdrop on Tianwen's information. Although this information is highly confidential, it can be discussed in private conversations.

Since it was really a plan between her husband and the other party, she had to avoid suspicion - even if she had to pretend, she had to do it.

After seeing his wife leave, Lawrence asked, "So what should I do next?"

Qu Jianlei replied casually, "No need."

When Lawrence heard this, his expression suddenly changed slightly, "Brother, what are you saying..."

"I've already told you. Let me verify it first," Qu Jianlei replied in a deep voice. "If you verify it, I'll naturally look for you next time if I have any problems."

Lawrence was stunned for a moment, then he spoke reluctantly, "I gave you such great news, and you got nothing?"

Although it had been agreed upon beforehand, at this moment, he still felt like he was being cheated out of his girlfriend without even being given any information?

Jing Yuexin looked at him deeply and said, "We all recognize you... Do you know how much this recognition is worth?"

Lawrence shook his head honestly, "I don't know. I just want to figure out who I'm relying on."

Qu Jianlei paused for a moment before speaking, "We are currently trying to contact that... Phantom. Hmm, is this enough information?"

"I'm so stupid..." Lawrence's eyes suddenly widened.

After a long while, he asked in disbelief, "You, you guys, really have such a way?"

The Digital Phantom is notorious in the alliance, but it is undeniable that it is a force that is so huge that it is desperate.

However, for many awakened people, what this team did was not really that cruel.

Especially those awakened people who have killed people do not think that killing is unacceptable - this is war!

If you can get in touch with such a team, it would be worth it no matter what the cost.

Qu Jianlei looked at him calmly, "This news is only for you to know. You can't even tell your wife, otherwise..."

"I understand, I understand," Lawrence nodded repeatedly, and then couldn't help asking again, "Are they... easy to contact?"

Qu Jianlei did not answer directly, but said, "The information you brought is a good stepping stone."

So he was trying to get a job by offering information to the enemy! Lawrence understood—this explanation made perfect sense.

But he couldn't learn this kind of thing, even if he was the provider of information.

At least they have connections and can access Digital Phantom, but he is completely in the dark about it.

Anyway, at this moment, he couldn't feel the slightest bit of jealousy.

Instead, he asked curiously, "Is there really anyone from the alliance on that team?"
