The distant cousin went to bed, while Lu Ping and the four of them continued to sit around the dining table. Mo Lin took out a folded map and spread it out on the table, looking a little excited.
"I didn't expect that my words made you so excited?" Fang Yizhu was surprised.
"You misunderstood." Mo Lin said, "What makes me excited is our current situation."
"The current situation?" The three of them wondered. They are currently facing a mysterious opponent, and they can't even tell whether they are friends or foes. This unknown situation can be said to be the most difficult. What's there to be excited about?
Mo Lin was not in a hurry to explain. He traced his finger on the open map and said, "This is our original route."
The three nodded.
The map is spread out in the Chuanping District, with many of the region's customs and terrain clearly marked on it. A black line zigzagged through it, marking their route.
"In order to avoid places with many eyes and ears, we chose such a route. This route is actually not clever, it can even be said to be very ordinary, but it is not easy to make such a route in Chuanping District. Hahahaha." After Mo Lin finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing, which shocked the three of them.
"Are you okay?" Lu Ping was concerned.
"It's okay, it's okay, the next step is the key point." Mo Lin forced to hold back her laughter. The three of them were still uneasy. After looking at each other, they looked at Mo Lin very worriedly.
"The people of the Xuanjun Empire are not useless." Mo Lin continued, "We disappeared from their eyes after we left Zhiling City, and until now we were exposed in Chuanping District, they must have guessed our way of movement. . Then the ordinary and common route we are taking now in Chuanping District has most likely been deduced by the other party."
"So?" The three of them continued to look at him.
"Here comes the point!" The smile on Mo Lin's face rose again, and everyone could see that he couldn't bear it anymore this time.
"Ordinaryness is the brilliance of this route." Molin said.
"Oh, it led them to this road, should I change the route now?" Lu Ping said.
"Brother..." Mo Lin was dumbfounded. "In the storyteller's place, you know what you are doing is digging the bottom of things? You are trying to undermine him!"
"Haha." A laugh came from the other side of the bed, and Mo Lin became dejected. He was going to say that he had been prepared for a long time, and he was going to reveal at this moment that he had secretly prepared Plan 2 for Sichuan North District. But after being exposed by Lu Ping's words, it doesn't make much sense to say it again.
"Then what's next?" Lu Ping still asked seriously.
"Here." Molin poked at the map listlessly. The most exciting moment of the story was revealed by Lu Ping, and the rest of the story was boring to him.
"Go along the river?" Lu Ping saw that the place where Mo Lin poked was a river.
“It’s not a walk along the river, it’s a boat ride,” said Maureen.
"Oh..." Fang Yizhu's face suddenly became clear, and this expression made Mo Lin very happy.
"The Xiongjiang River is the second largest river in the Xuanjun Empire. It starts from Yulun Glacier in the east, passes Xuanjun City in the west, then turns south, passes diagonally through Chuanping District, then turns westward, and enters Changfeng territory after passing through Chongshan Gorge. This river, It is a very important water conservancy hub for the Xuanjun Empire. It is said that the Xuanjun Empire has been secretly training naval forces, waiting for an opportunity to go down the river, break through the mountain gorges, and go straight into the hinterland of Changfeng!" Mo Lin scolded Fang Qiu on the map.
"Talk about something related to us." Fang Yizhu interrupted coldly.
"We are here now." Molin returned to the topic in a second and poked a small dot on the map. Zhou Town is so small that it is not marked on this map. This small dot was drawn by Mo Lin himself, which shows that for him, this place is indeed an existence that cannot be ignored.
"About two hundred miles to the west is Jialing City. The ferry here in the early years is now the largest river port within hundreds of miles. The Xuanjun Empire even set up a navy camp here." Mo Lin moved his finger and poked. Arrived at another place on the map. This place is obviously not a small town worth mentioning like Zhou Town. It is plotted in detail on the map, and everyone can see the role and value of Jialing Town without Mo Lin's introduction.
"Shall we take a boat here?" Lu Ping said.
"Yes." Maureen nodded.
"I'm afraid it's not as simple as talking about it, right?" Fang Yizhu said while looking at the map.
"Of course it's not simple." Mo Lin said, "Although Jialing City is not the main city of Chuanping, it is a waterway fortress of the Xuanjun Empire. Especially with the navy stationed at the port, daily precautions are already very tight. We, the wanted criminals, It’s certainly difficult to sneak in without being noticed.”
"But now if the other party focuses on us on the original route, then at least Jialing City will not specifically guard against us, right?" Fang Yi noted.
"Yes. Once we successfully infiltrate and get on the right boat, we can go up the river and reach Xuanjun City effortlessly. How comfortable is this?" Mo Lin said.
"It's indeed very exciting. What do you think?" Fang Yizhu looked at Lu Ping.
"It sounds like it can be faster." Lu Ping focused on this.
"What about you?" Fang Yizhu looked at Ling Ziyan again.
Ling Ziyan has been Qin Sang's maid since she was a child, and she has long developed the habit of following orders. Although she has been away from this identity for a long time, she is still very uncomfortable being asked for opinions. After being stunned for a while, she said: "I listen to everyone." After all, she still couldn't put forward any personal opinions.
"That's it?" Fang Yizhu said that he had no objection.
"Of course it should be like this." Mo Lin expressed his dissatisfaction that Fang Yizhu actually asked for opinions. This was the second best plan that he had not disclosed for many days, but he still had to accept an opinion survey?
"Since you have such a plan, do you already have information on the arrangements for ships entering and exiting Jialing Port?" Fang Yi noted.
"Yes, these days I have been secretly going out to collect information on this while you were sleeping." Mo Lin said seriously.
"No?" Lu Ping was surprised. Mo Lin actually left during everyone's break every day? He was completely unaware.
"Of course not!" Lu Ping took the rhetoric as the truth and Mo Lin went a little crazy. The plan was hatched from the night when the temple was destroyed, and there were continuous outings after that. He had this intention, could it be possible to inquire about those flowers, trees, birds, and beasts? I don’t have bionic powers, so even if I can... huh? Bionic superpowers? etc……
Mo Lin's expression was stagnant, and then he looked at Fang Yizhu. For some issues involving knowledge, he thought it would be more reliable to discuss them with Fang Yizhu.
"Could the person who discovered our whereabouts be a master of the bionic system?" Molin said. Bionic superpowers are limited by innate conditions. They are relatively unpopular among the seven major systems. There are fewer and fewer people practicing them. Mo Lin himself has never had much contact with them. He really didn't expect this at first.
"Oh, bionic system." Lu Ping suddenly said.
"You know?" Mo Lin was surprised. To be honest, if Lu Ping didn't know the classification of superpowers, he would think it was more normal.
"I have read "A Brief History of Po." Lu Ping said.
"Do you know how to read?" Mo Lin was surprised again.
"Not too much." Lu Ping said honestly.
"Back to the topic," Maureen said.
"Okay." Lu Ping nodded.
"What do you think?" Mo Lin still looked at Fang Yizhu.
"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Fang Yizhu said.
"Don't look like you thought of it all," said Maureen.
"I did think of it a little bit." Fang Yi noted.
"Then why didn't you check the bottom of the river?" Mo Lin said.
"How do you know I don't have one?" Fang Yizhu asked.
Mo Lin was stunned for a moment, and then realized that powers such as "clairvoyance" were very simple. To check the bottom of the river, you didn't necessarily have to go into the river and dig through it.
"What did you find?" So he continued to ask.
"Too many." Fang Yizhu said.
Maureen knew what he meant. There are too many kinds of creatures under the river, which provides the necessary conditions for bionic powers, but there is no way to prove that someone must have used bionic powers. This can be a major advantage of the bionic system: grass and trees are all soldiers, and geese pass by without leaving a trace.
"So we can't be sure whether our current whereabouts have been exposed," Molin said.
"But one thing is certain." Fang Yizhu said.
"What?"
"We have not fallen under their direct surveillance. There may have been one by the river, but it was interrupted after Lu Ping noticed it. After that, they can still only use animal perspective information to find our whereabouts. The intelligence obtained in this way has Randomness and delay." Fang Yizhu said.
"This way, even if we got on the ship, they might notice it later." Molin thought. His second best plan was challenged, which made him a little anxious.
"Haha." As a result, laughter came from the bed again.
"You have something to say!" Mo Lin was a little angry.
"Animals are much easier to deceive than people." The distant cousin, who was lying sideways on the bed, didn't move and just said this to them with his back to them.
The four of them all began to think about the meaning of this sentence. After a while, Yi Zhu spoke first: "Brothers, good advice."
Mo Lin obviously understood the meaning of this sentence, stood up and said: "Let's go!"
"Any previous actions may be discovered by the other party, so it is not advisable to stay here for a long time." Fang Yizhu nodded.
"Isn't it going to be exposed here?" Lu Ping said, and the four of them looked at the bed together, with their backs to their distant cousin.
"I won't bother you," said my distant cousin.
Mo Lin looked at Lu Ping with a serious expression: "Lu Ping, let me ask you a question."
"what is the problem?"
"Does he have courage?" Mo Lin pointed at his distant cousin.
"Yes." Lu Ping nodded.
The body that had been lying motionless on the bed seemed to be shaking slightly, but Mo Lin had already put on a look of relief.
"Let's go!" he said.
"Close the door," said the distant cousin.
Several people walked out one after another, and Molin was the last one. At the last moment when he closed the door, he suddenly asked: "What do you call your cousin?"
"Mogai." The distant cousin replied.
"Take care, cousin," said Maureen.
"You walk slowly." Mogai said.
