Starting from the prison, an infinite simulation

"I don't have a map, but since you know this information, you must be on the side of the Imperial State, right?"

Zhang Taidao shook his head at Jiang Yueming, trying to appear calm, but his hands behind his back were gripping the soil so tightly that his fingers were almost sinking deep into it.

At this moment, he was very worried that Jiang Yueming was an enemy rather than a friend. After all, he had already delivered the letter to him, and given his current state, it was impossible for him to take action against him.

If things really turn out to be the worst he could imagine, then he would be a sinner to the entire Imperial State, and would be a disgrace to the important task entrusted to him by Commander Li!

Ye Mo's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as she strode up to Zhang Taidao and smiled, "Don't worry, he's not an enemy."

"Here, this is the map you wanted." After comforting Zhang Taidao, Ye Mo gently patted the small pouch at her waist. A beam of cyan light flew to her jade palm, and when the cyan light dissipated, a brown map appeared before her eyes.

Jiang Yueming took the map from Ye Mo's palm, her brows still furrowed, and casually said, "Thank you."

After the sound subsided, he quickly opened the map and began to explore it carefully with his fingertips.

Zhang Taidao, who was half-lying under the tree, finally felt relieved when he saw Jiang Yueming studying the map so intently.

Judging from his anxious appearance, he doesn't seem to be faking it, so he's not an enemy.

"Thank you, young lady." Zhang Taidao suddenly remembered Ye Mo's comforting words and awkwardly cupped his hands in thanks.

This was the second time he had thanked Ye Mo. From the moment he opened his eyes and first saw Ye Mo, he felt that this beautiful girl was definitely kind-hearted.

Now, we should probably add the word "understanding" to our impression of her. This girl is so beautiful and has such a wonderful heart, it's hard not to be moved.

However, Zhang Taidao was self-aware enough to know that such celestial flowers were not something a commoner like him could pick; at most, he could only admire them from afar.

Besides, this flower might already be taken.

"You're welcome. Rescuing people from danger and helping them out of trouble is simply what we should do."

Ye Mo smiled faintly as she responded to Zhang Taidao's gratitude.

She knew in her heart that if it weren't for border guards like Zhang Taidao who were willing to sacrifice their lives for the country, how could they have a peaceful and tranquil life?

If anyone should express gratitude, it should be these selfless and great border guards who thank them for bearing the burden for the country and its people!

"Hehe, what a kind heart you have. It's true that beauties are always paired with heroes." Seeing Ye Mo's humility, Zhang Taidao felt even more favorably toward her, but his eyes were fixed on Jiang Yueming's busy figure.

He smiled and looked at Ye Mo again. Something unspoken seemed to be welling up from his smile, but he didn't say another word.

Ye Mo naturally understood the meaning in his gaze, and a blush gradually spread across her usually fair face. She quickly changed the subject, saying, "Brother Zhang, you must take care of your health. There's a clinic to the east of here, and Doctor Yang there is exceptionally skilled."

"And her consultations are almost entirely free; everyone calls her 'Sage Yang.' You should go and see her."

As Ye Mo spoke, she pointed out directions to Zhang Taidao, and occasionally glanced at Jiang Yueming out of the corner of her eye, hoping he would say something to ease her awkward situation.

Having lived for decades, Zhang Taidao was quite knowledgeable. Knowing that Ye Mo didn't want to continue the conversation, he immediately went along with it, saying, "I understand. Don't worry, Miss Ye, I will go."

He suddenly remembered that Jiang Yueming had called Ye Mo before, so this girl should be surnamed Ye.

But what should he call that kid? He realized he had been careless. Entrusting such an important task to him before even finding out who he was was an extremely foolish thing to do!

Fortunately, the young man didn't seem to be a wicked person, and given that Miss Ye was kind, it seemed that the young man was definitely not a sycophant.

Moreover, his expression changed drastically the moment he heard that the English Dog Clan had started a war, with deep sorrow and solemnity written all over his face.

"Ye Mo, here's the map back." Jiang Yueming, who had been lying on the ground examining the map for a long time, suddenly stood up and handed the brown map back to Ye Mo.

Ye Mo took the map with her small hands and noticed that the solemn expression between his brows hadn't faded. She knew things might not be good and asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Is Dinghai very far from here?"

"Yes, it's very far, we must find an inn," Jiang Yueming nodded, her eyes darkening as she spoke.

His concerns were not only about the distance, but also about the equipment of both sides in the conflict.

A clash between cold weapons and firearms is about to begin.

The only solution he can think of right now is negotiation, but that doesn't mean allowing the British to open more trade markets and sell drugs in large quantities.

It's just a delaying tactic!

Even if the Imperial State were to send troops, it would take time, but for the English Dog Clan, who sailed warships at sea, this had no impact on them.

According to the textbook model, the Yingquan tribe in this battle against Dinghai City only has more than 4,000 people. If we can quickly gather troops and unite our strength, the outcome is still uncertain.

After all, our Empire is better suited for land warfare than naval warfare, which is precisely the weakness of the British soldiers.

However, everything is subject to change, and Jiang Yueming is only thinking this way for now. The true situation and strategy will only be known when he arrives on the battlefield.

"Why do we need to find an inn?" Ye Mo blinked her beautiful eyes, asking with some confusion.

To be honest, sometimes she really couldn't keep up with Jiang Yueming's thinking; he always gave people the feeling that there was something mysterious in his words.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yueming was taken aback at first, then smiled wryly and said, "Ye Mo, the fastest means of transportation we have right now is horses, and inns are the easiest places to find horses."

"Because the merchants who come and go will have horses. Of course, we can go back to the city to buy horses, but that would take too much time."

Jiang Yueming stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence, seemingly hesitant, and slowly said, "You... should know the concept of a warship, right?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Mo's eyes narrowed, and she instantly understood. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, but considering that Zhang Taidao was there, she didn't say anything directly and just nodded symbolically.

She knew that warships were much faster than horses, and Jiang Yueming's implication was that Dinghai City might fall before they even reached it.

However, because Zhang Taidao was there, she couldn't bring herself to say it.

"Jiang Yueming, are you really going to Dinghai City?" Ye Mo bit her red lips, and although she was extremely unwilling, she finally spoke.

It wasn't that she wanted to abandon the people of Dinghai, but rather that she was worried about another issue.

Three days, men in black, Xianyou Restaurant.

Yes, Jiang Yueming had already told her everything beforehand, including the reason for going to the Holy Dragon Empire and the fact that she was carrying a deadly poison.

If Jiang Yueming changes his original route to Dinghai City now, he will definitely miss this opportunity, and then what will happen to the poison in his body?

In his description, the group of men in black were very powerful and mysterious, and it was hard to say whether there would be another chance if he missed this one.

Jiang Yueming now faces two choices.

First, to track down the men in black who have been located; second, to save Dinghai City from its hopelessness.
