Chapter 2090 Opportunity
When Jiang Hui asked this question, she was not actually encouraging Hongyeling to adopt unconventional means.
She just wanted to confirm what the other party's true perception was and what kind of work style he had.
If such a powerful force acts too arbitrarily, it will not be a good thing for the Star Hall.
She was quite satisfied with Lord Qu Ling's answer, so she continued, "I have brought the Earth Yuan Chen Fetus you asked for."
"Oh my god, is that it?" Qu Jianlei was quite surprised when he heard this. "So fast?"
In fact, what surprised him was not just the speed, but the fact that the Star Palace acted... so decisively?
He always believed that this was an old and stupid behemoth that had lasted for so long, and the relationships within it must be complicated.
Who would have thought that as soon as he expressed his attitude, the other party actually sent the treasure to him?
If he remembered correctly, the Diyuan Chentai had already begun to be processed, and there was a clear purpose for its cultivation.
Seeing the surprise on his face, Jiang Hui smiled slightly, "It's worth my efforts to make Lord Qu Ling so moved."
Qu Jianlei hesitated for a moment before speaking, "It's just a treasure...what do you want Hongyeling to do with it?"
Let's put things one thing at a time. If you want him to lead his team to be stationed in Zhongzhou, this is not enough.
"You don't need to do anything," Jiang Hui replied calmly, "Just think of it as... a token of appreciation from the Star Palace."
She acted calm and composed, but deep down she was bleeding: I'm making a huge bet!
When she knew that Lord Qu Ling was interested in Yuan Chen's fetus, she actively sought it from the palace.
Many years ago, the Star Palace had many considerations about the purpose of this treasure, and each proposer had his own opinion.
Qu Jianlei's guess was actually correct. The various interpersonal relationships in the Star Palace were extremely complicated.
There was a lot of debate over this treasure for so many years, and its purpose was not determined until ten years ago.
Jiang Hui also knew the sensitivity of Di Yuan Chen Tai, but since Hong Ye Ling showed interest, she had to actively strive for it.
Anyway, the treasure has only been nurtured for ten years, which is less than one percent of the incubation time of thousands of years in the future.
She also thought that the palace might not agree, but that was not because she was not doing her job well, but because she did not get the support she deserved.
However, after careful inquiry in the palace, she was informed a few days later that Di Yuan Chen Tai had been taken on board the fleet!
Jiang Hui was surprised at the speed of the reaction, but when she thought about the previous dispute over the purpose of the Di Yuan Chen Tai, she understood a little.
However, the palace also emphasized that this treasure cannot be given to the other party easily, and must be given with a considerable commitment.
Master Jiang thought that this would not work because she could feel that Master Qu Ling was not an easy person to talk to.
This person is not only pretentious, but also has high standards. The key is that he has a broad vision. How can he be interested in a Diyuan Chentai?
It was not until ten days ago that she received new news that in Xiqiu City, someone from Hongyeling took action and broke into the Demonic Realm.
This matter involves Daye City Lord Huo Jiujian. Currently, the Star Palace is actively communicating with City Lord Huo, wanting to know what happened.
However, it is said that Huo Jiujian's performance was a bit tactful. He avoided the question and refused to answer honestly. The people in the palace were helpless for the time being.
It sounds a bit unbelievable, but it’s actually not surprising. The Star Palace has existed for too long.
The system is rigid and inflexible, interpersonal relationships are a mess, interests are entangled and complicated, and many things are closely related to each other.
Moreover, although Huo Jiujian was sent out, he was one of the thirty-six first-tier city lords and was a powerful local figure.
The Lord of Xiqiu City has turned the city into a mess, and the people are complaining, but no one is doing anything about it. How big of a deal is this for Lord Huo?
Moreover, the demons are about to invade in full force, and Huo Jiujian is doing a good job. We can't just change his generals at the last minute, right?
Putting aside these bullshit things for now, the Star Palace can be sure that Hongye Ridge is in Zhongzhou and there should be personnel stationed there.
As for how the people from Hongyeling got to Zhongzhou, it's really not worth worrying about.
The so-called rules are always set for the people below. Those who are bound by the rules are because their own positions are too low.
The most important thing is that the personnel stationed in Hongyeling performed well and were willing to take the initiative to attack the Demon Realm, so their overall stance was fine.
Otherwise, with Xiqiu City in such a mess, who would be willing to take the initiative to attack the Demon Realm?
According to intelligence, Hongyeling or City Lord Huo went to Qiu Shui City for some purpose, but is that important?
To sit idly by and watch the Demon Realm of Qiu Shui City grow stronger would bring extremely bad consequences.
Qu Jianlei was a little reluctant to take action at that time, but in fact, his decision won him a lot of impression points in the Star Hall.
After Jiang Hui learned the news, she consulted the palace many times, emphasizing Hongyeling's arrogance and wealth.
If they didn't have such high aspirations, would they have been able to take nothing from the besieged people after conquering the Demon Realm?
The matter was discussed again in the palace, and finally Hall Master Jiang was notified, allowing her to "act at her own discretion."
Needless to say, Hongyeling is at least quite reliable as a super fighter against the demons.
For this reason alone, it's always a good idea to build good relationships first. As for how to get this team to Zhongzhou, you can take your time.
It was precisely because of this authorization that Jiang Hui dared to express generously that it was just a small token of her appreciation.
However, she was overdoing the favor. If the other party really had the nerve to accept it, she would not be able to explain to her superiors.
But how could Qu Jianlei be that kind of person?
He said straightforwardly, "No merit, no reward. Please, Master Jiang, please set some conditions. Hongye Ridge never owes anyone anything!"
"This puts me in a difficult position," Jiang Hui pondered for a moment, then tried to ask, "Open an office in Zhongzhou?"
Qu Jianlei just rolled his eyes at her and said nothing.
Jiang Hui didn't care, but tried again, "Then... support the opening of air traffic between Zhongzhou and Dongsheng?"
This suggestion basically means that Hongyeling will be isolated from Dongsheng.
Qu Jianlei touched his forehead and said helplessly, "It seems that this Di Yuan Chen Tai... is too difficult to obtain."
"How can it be so easy to get treasures from heaven and earth?" Jiang Hui smiled and then asked again.
"I'm just wondering, what can Huo Jiujian give to Hongyeling, and why are you cooperating so happily?"
Qu Jianlei spread his hands upon hearing this, "Look, Master Jiang, you've already said it... We're just cooperating!"
"Cooperate..." Jiang Hui looked at him thoughtfully, with a hint of deep-seated... disdain in her eyes?
"You mean, you want to cooperate with the Star Palace on an equal footing?"
"Why not?" Qu Jianlei blinked and asked seriously, "Do you have any out-of-body immortals?"
If you have the power of an Immortal Lord, I admit that you are a superior force, but do you have it?
Jiang Hui was a little helpless. Not only was this man very picky, he was also a bit stubborn.
"Your goal is actually the upper realm, the out-of-body experience, right? So, do you have any connections?"
"The path was explored bit by bit," Qu Jianlei answered seriously, "Everything depends on human effort, what do you think?"
"I have the connection in the Star Palace," Jiang Hui answered seriously. Seeing that the other party wanted to speak, she waved her hand again.
"I know this resource is uncontrollable, let's not beat around the bush, but having it and not having it are different after all!"
"And you are now facing the best opportunity... that is the invasion of the demons!"
Having said that, she stopped talking, closed her mouth and looked straight at the other person.
"Opportunity..." When Qu Jianlei heard this word, he wanted to sneer. Taking the invasion of alien races as an opportunity was a bit of black humor.
But we have to admit that from the perspective of the Star Palace, there is nothing wrong with what he said, even if it is a bit cold and cruel.
The other party pointed out that if there had been no invasion by the demons, Hongyeling, as a civilian force, would have no chance of accessing information from the upper realm.
Jiang Hui is worthy of being the head of the Liyue Hall. She attaches great importance to etiquette, but her diplomatic methods are also quite clear.
Be soft when necessary, be tough when necessary, and be able to clearly state the pros and cons.
The key point is that she hasn't finished speaking - it's enough for the other party to understand the meaning of her words. If she makes it too clear, it will hurt the relationship.
But Qu Jianlei felt that her idea was a bit self-righteous. "Besides the Star Palace, we still have other options."
"The Four Sacred Mountains?" Jiang Hui smiled indifferently. She guessed that Hongye Ridge should have had contact with those four families.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why the other party knew that they had a treasure like the Di Yuan Chen Tai.
However, when she said the word "opportunity", she had already thought about how to deal with this possibility.
"After all, the Star Palace is the administrator of this world appointed by the upper world, and...what if reinforcements from the upper world arrive soon?"
Once people from the upper realm come, the role that Hongye Ridge can play will not be worth mentioning, and it may even be requisitioned by people from the upper realm.
By that time, even if Lord Qu Ling had a good relationship with the Four Sacred Mountains, what good would it be?
You really understand the diplomatic tactics! Qu Jianlei smiled instead of getting angry, "You also said, just in case."
"That's true," Jiang Hui nodded, then retorted, "But if it really happens, there's no turning back."
"In that case, why take the risk and why not cooperate with us?"
"As long as you achieve certain military merits in the Heavenly Demon War, everything else can be discussed."
Your ability to draw cakes is still a little lacking after all. Qu Jianlei smiled slightly when he heard this, "Thank you, Master Jiang, for reminding me."
Jiang Hui waited for a while, but didn't hear any follow-up words. She sighed inwardly: I really am... being ignored!
But it doesn’t matter. Although no consensus has been reached, at least we have enhanced our understanding.
"Anyway, I went through so much trouble to get this treasure, you can't ask me to give it back, right?"
Qu Jianlei looked at her indifferently for a long time before he smiled and said, "We have some light-related magic, which is quite unique..."
Magic... Jiang Hui was a little speechless: Are you kidding me, you are talking about magic with the Star Palace?
