Starting from the prison, an infinite simulation

A warm sun slowly peeks over the horizon, its gentle rays casting a warm glow over the post-rain landscape. Outside the temple, dew drips from the flowers and grass, and insects and butterflies chase each other.

The charcoal inside had long since burned out, but there was no burnt smell in the air. Instead, there was a fragrant aroma of scallions and wild vegetables.

Beneath the enormous, benevolent-faced Buddha statue, a beautiful young woman dozed gently, her head slightly turned to the side. She softly bit a strand of hair with her smooth lips, and a few rays of sunlight streamed in through the window, casting a warm glow on her silhouette.

Even the most hardened immortals, upon seeing such a beautiful spring scene, couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Such unparalleled beauty exists in this world, a testament to the Creator's favoritism and selfishness!

Ye Mo seemed to sense the dazzling light in her eyes. Her delicate eyelashes trembled, and her fairy-like eyes gradually brightened, like a magnificent scene of ten thousand flowers blooming.

"Eh?"

Her beautiful eyes suddenly caught sight of the gray mink coat draped over her body, and her languid, early-morning face instantly became somewhat stunned.

However, before she could think about the coat in detail, she caught a glimpse of a bowl of steaming fish soup on the ground and four bottles of seasoning placed to the side.

In an instant, her eyes lowered slightly, and a small smile slowly curved her lips. Her gentle gaze blended with the soft light from the window, and my heart couldn't help but tremble slightly.

After a night of cold rain, even though the sun was shining brightly, the outside should have been covered in frost and cold air. But at this moment, Ye Mo felt that the rain was not rain, and the cold was not cold.

What exactly has replaced the frost and cold? Is it the warm sun shining outside, or the steaming fish soup of unknown origin in front of me?

Perhaps they are all of them, or perhaps neither.

"Hehe," Ye Mo gently put away her gray mink coat, picked up the fish soup with her fair hands, and couldn't help but smile as soon as her lips touched the rim of the bowl.

That smile was as beautiful as a sea of ​​flowers in full bloom. For some reason, her gaze remained fixed on the fish soup, her lips smiling endlessly until the fish soup was completely cold.

She finally came to her senses and drank the fish soup in one gulp. Then she took out a yellow map from her pouch and slid her jade fingers across it, just like Jiang Yueming had done.

She knew Jiang Yueming had already left.

Where have you been?

She knew that too.

"Huh? Why is this map different from the one I saw before?"

Ye Mo's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as she bent down to carefully search for the route to Dinghai City, her face gradually turning cold and stern.

She bought this map at the market before leaving the Holy Dragon Empire, and she had looked at it carefully when she first bought it.

But now, looking at it again, I found that some of the markings on the map have changed positions!

Keep in mind that if the markers on the map are moved, the journey can become much longer, even if the direction is correct.

If the map's orientation is incorrect, then it can be considered a useless map!

"How infuriating!" Ye Mo's eyes turned cold instantly, and she slammed her jade palm down on the blueprint, speaking with a hint of anger.

She knew what had happened; the person who made the drawing had cheated!

There is a peculiar powder that can be used to copy maps, but it has a time limit.

In order to produce more of a certain type of map, some merchants would use other different maps as a base, sprinkle medicinal powder on the base, and then use a specific map mold to print it onto the base.

The base will naturally transform into the shape of a specific map!

It's obvious that Ye Mo was deceived by that boss, or rather, Jiang Yueming was deceived!

Because his route to Dinghai was based on a specific map, but the actual route to Dinghai City should be the map that Ye Mo currently has.

Thinking of this, Ye Mo lowered her eyes again and carefully examined the map. After confirming that the map was not a fake, she breathed a sigh of relief.

However, she faced two difficult choices: first, should she tell Jiang Yueming that the direction was wrong, or should she save the people of Dinghai first?

In her opinion, the former was easier, because with her cultivation level, catching up with Jiang Yueming would be quite quick.

Of course, she didn't know at the moment that the boy had already mastered the art of flight.

She had lied to Jiang Yueming about going to a restaurant, because she didn't want him to be distracted by her.

As for the latter, it was not only difficult but also very urgent. According to the existing maps, it would take her a day and a half to set off for Dinghai immediately, but warships are much faster on the sea than on land.

Besides, even if she could make it in time, how could she stop the British from landing and starting the war?

"Damn it! What do I do?"

Ye Mo's brows furrowed tightly as she stared intently at the actual map in her hand, her mind racing as she considered a good strategy.

If I go, there's a high chance I won't make it.

But not going is impossible.

But how to resolve this crisis once we get to Dinghai? Should we confront them head-on?

Huh? Wait a minute!

A head-on clash?

"Could it be that he..." Ye Mo's pupils contracted, and suddenly she realized something, quickly putting away the map with her small hands.

She made her decision.

She was going to Dinghai City to save its people!

As for how to save her, she suddenly had an idea when she thought of Jiang Yueming's figure for a moment.

negotiation!

Although she had only known Jiang Yueming for a short time, she was certain that he wasn't the kind of person who would stubbornly stick to his own ideas.

But the fact that he has already gone to Dinghai City means that he most likely has a solution in mind, otherwise he would not act rashly.

Otherwise, not only would they fail to save the people of Dinghai, but they would also lose their own lives in vain!

It's not that one can't sacrifice for the people, but the sacrifice must be worthwhile. Otherwise, for the British army, whether one more or one less person dies won't affect the overall situation.

Only through negotiation can the course of the war be changed.

Of course, she doesn't really know much about negotiation, but that doesn't matter; all she has to do is stall for time.

Given Jiang Yueming's intelligence, he will eventually discover that the map route is fake, and then he will surely find the correct route and turn around.

All she can do now is stall the British ships until Jiang Yueming begins negotiations!

boom!

After tidying up all the items in the temple, Ye Mo hurriedly tied her hair into a high ponytail and stepped out of the door.

The wooden door opened, and a beautiful scene after the rain came into view. The colors of flowers and plants complemented each other, insects and butterflies fluttered and played, a breath of fresh air rushed into the nose, and the slowly rising red sun covered the whole earth with a thin layer of starlight.

Ye Mo was immediately shocked. Just as she was about to step forward to appreciate the beauty of nature, the scene before her eyes suddenly transformed into a sea of ​​war and blood. It was as if she could hear the cries of the people echoing across the land, with corpses piled up like mountains, and the stench so strong that crows circled and cawed high in the sky.

She immediately shook her head, looked at the post-rain scenery again, bit her lip, and forcefully suppressed the emotions that stirred in her heart.

She glanced at the natural beauty in her last moments, then gracefully stepped away from the temple.

……

In the sky, a golden light streaked through the clouds; it was a boy who looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old.

However, the young man, who should have had a youthful and vibrant expression, instead showed a helpless and annoyed mood.

"Sigh, I knew she was easily fooled back at the inn!"
