Hu Die Lan

Chapter 424 Player's Route

Chapter 64 The Miscalculation

Gu Fei roughly recounted the experience of accumulating 30 PK points by killing people on the sea, and the system guards chasing after him in ships. Han Jia Gongzi listened and nodded, asking, "Have you PK'd to 30 points now?"

"No!" Gu Fei replied with a dark face. He knew that Han Jia Gongzi was definitely not asking out of concern for a comrade-in-arms, but most likely wanted him to get another 30 PK points to lure out a fleet, and then take the opportunity to get a telescope.

"Keep it up!" Han Jia Gongzi exhorted him, then stood at the bow of the boat again, using his telescope to monitor the movements of Jian Nan You and his two ships.

This was the truth behind why the elite squad always knew so much about the situation without showing their faces; it was all thanks to this telescope. The players from Forever Under Flowers were exhausted from running along the coast and rummaging through haystacks. After hearing about the turmoil at the West Gate, they also left through the West Gate and used the telescope to scan the vast beach, easily finding the movements of so many people.

Han Jia Gongzi didn't know how the Qingxia Guild had been keeping tabs on Jian Nan You, but he knew that they would definitely succeed in intercepting him. So, he had You Ge negotiate with Jian Nan You, telling him that if he needed help to escape, he could make a deal with them.

At that time, Jian Nan You didn't know that he had fallen into the Qingxia Guild's trap. He thought that the guys from the Gongzi Elite Squad were playing some trick, trying to delay them, confuse their judgment, or directly find out where they were. In short, Jian Nan You simply ignored them.

It wasn't until he was attacked from both sides by the Qingxia Guild and Gu Fei, with the Qingxia Guild attacking fiercely and Gu Fei remaining indifferent, that Jian Nan You was forced to compromise. He didn't trust the Gongzi Elite Squad, but at that time, he had no way out. He could only try anything, and unexpectedly, it actually worked.

Now that they were sailing on the water, Jian Nan You was still suspicious about this matter. He told Jiaoshui to pay close attention to the surrounding movements and see if there was anything unusual.

Jiaoshui squinted his hawk eyes and looked left and right, but found nothing. Jian Nan You was no longer worried about the Qingxia Guild at this time. How easy would it be to assemble a fleet in a hurry? On the contrary, he suspected that the Gongzi Elite Squad might have made preparations and laid an ambush in secret.

When Jiaoshui found nothing, Jian Nan You felt a little relieved. He personally steered the boat in large diagonal lines on the water, trying not to let anyone detect their route.

Little did he know that Han Jia Gongzi was holding a telescope and watching their movements from afar. And it was impossible for him to see the people from the Gongzi Elite Squad with an archer's hawk eyes.

The two groups of people, each on two small boats, were chasing each other on the water from a distance.

"Ask him when he's going to pay the other half of the money," Han Jia Gongzi asked You Ge while monitoring Jian Nan You and the others with his telescope. The others, upon hearing this, wished they could be Jian Nan You, as this guy was simply too ruthless. During the voyage, Han Jia Gongzi had explained the purpose of his arrangement.

From the beginning, he had planned to force Jian Nan You away from Linshui City, and then continue the pursuit after they had fully settled in the next main city. Only in this way could they control the other party's resurrection point cycle, instead of letting it fall into the hands of the Qingxia Guild or other guilds, as it had in Linshui City.

Hearing this idea, everyone finally understood that Han Jia Gongzi was also eyeing the other party's resurrection equipment. However, Han Jia Gongzi quickly promised that he would never keep the equipment for himself after it dropped. He would sell it and share the money with everyone, which kept everyone motivated.

Gu Fei was also very busy at this time. On one hand, he told Bai Shi Jing Lun that Jian Nan You and his seven companions had successfully escaped and asked him to hurry to the dock to find a way to reunite with them. On the other hand, he was also notifying Ying Zhong Yue Zai and Mang Mang de Mang Mang to stop being busy, as the situation was under control. In the end, the person he felt most sorry for was Fireball. At this time, Fireball was still pitifully sitting in the beach tavern, eagerly waiting for Gu Fei to come back and help him wash off his PK points, but Gu Fei had already left Linshui City by boat. There was no way around it, so he had to send a message telling him to hurry up and leave Linshui City by boat as well.

In the blink of an eye, everyone had been drifting on the water for half an hour. Except for Han Jia Gongzi, who was still standing at the bow of the boat, holding a telescope and pointing the way, the other five were all bored.

Yu Tian Shen Ming was shooting fish with his bow and arrow for fun, Zhan Wu Shang and the boatman were discussing the technique of rowing, You Ge was holding his notebook, wondering what he was studying, and Jian Gui was meditating in the middle of the boat. Unconsciously, the dagger that was originally in his right hand was now held between his two fingers like a cigarette, without him even realizing it.

Gu Fei had been staring at Jian Gui, wanting to see when he would put the dagger in his mouth again, but after watching for a long time, he didn't get his wish. Jian Gui just kept this pose while pondering. In the end, with nothing to do, he could only chat with the boatman, the third person on their boat besides Han Jia Gongzi and Jian Gui.

"Where are we going?" Gu Fei asked, thinking that the boatman should be more familiar with the waterways of Linshui City.

"Looking at this direction, I'm not too sure," the boatman shook his head.

Just as he finished speaking, Han Jia Gongzi gave instructions from the bow of the boat again: "A little more to the left."

The boatman seemed to suddenly realize something and said to Gu Fei, "If we keep turning to the left like this, it looks like we're going to Xiawu City."

"What city?" Gu Fei thought the answer would be either Luori City or Linyin City. He didn't expect that there was a third main city near Linshui City.

"Xiawu City," the boatman said again.

"What city?" This time, it was Han Jia Gongzi who asked the question from the bow of the boat, obviously also surprised by this answer. The boatman was about to say it a third time when Han Jia Gongzi shouted to You Ge on the other boat, "You Ge, there's another main city here. Did you know that?"

"Is there?" You Ge was also surprised. "The waterways only go to Linyin and Luori. I checked."

The boatman on that boat also smiled. "It's true that the waterways only go to those two cities, but that's the system's waterways. The ferries only go to those two cities. But now we're sailing our own boat, so it's possible to go towards Xiawu City."

After hearing these words, Han Jia Gongzi sighed and said, "So, they're going to this city, not Linyin City?"

"What's the problem?" Gu Fei asked.

"It's nothing, but for someone, this isn't good news," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"Did you contact Shui Shen?" Jian Gui asked.

"Uh, I think so? I don't remember," Han Jia Gongzi said, returning to the bow of the boat.

On the edge of the forest in Linyin City, Shui Shen brought many brothers from the guild and set up a long ambush along the shoreline.

"Guild leader, what are we doing?" someone asked him.

"Someone will be coming ashore from here, but they're using their own boat, so we're not sure exactly where they'll land. We can only set up an ambush like this," Shui Shen replied.

"Oh!" The guild members didn't ask any more questions. They all firmly believed in their guild leader, thinking that it was probably another important mission. Anyway, the task wasn't tiring. They just had to lie in the grass and watch the shoreline outside.

As the guild leader, Shui Shen naturally took the lead, lying motionless in the grass like a sniper. "It should be almost time!" he thought, looking at the time.

Another half an hour passed. From Han Jia Gongzi's telescope, he could see that Jian Nan You and his seven companions were approaching the shore. There were no docks around here. It was indeed Xiawu City, which was not connected by the system's waterways. After the seven people got off the boat, they didn't rush to leave. They were looking for something to hide the boat. While doing this, Jian Nan You reminded Jiaoshui to pay attention to the water.

Of course, Han Jia Gongzi saw all of this and quickly reminded both boats to slow down so that they wouldn't enter Jiaoshui's hawk eye's field of vision.

A moment later, the seven people finished packing up and left. Han Jia Gongzi quickly signaled both boats to go ashore.

"Can we still catch up like this?" Yu Tian Shen Ming asked.

"With this thing, how can we not find them? This isn't Linyin City," Han Jia Gongzi said, tapping the telescope. Because of the dense forest in Linyin City, the telescope's function was very limited, so Han Jia Gongzi had to ask Shui Shen to help guard. Since this wasn't Linyin City, the telescope could naturally play its role. Relying on himself was always better than relying on others.

Unexpectedly, the boatman smiled when he heard this. "If it's Xiawu City, this thing might not be able to play much of a role."

"Why?" Han Jia Gongzi was stunned and casually recited the name of the main city, "Could it be..."

"Hehe, this city has a lot of fog." The answer was indeed what Han Jia Gongzi had expected.

The few people looked at each other. They had finally chased Jian Nan You here. Were they going to let him escape in the natural cover of such heavy fog?

Just then, Han Jia Gongzi received a new message. He opened it and saw it was from Shui Shen: "It's been more than an hour. Why haven't they arrived yet?"

"Uh, I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?" Han Jia Gongzi replied.

"Don't be so old-fashioned. Just tell me what's going on!" Shui Shen already had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

"Uh, the truth is, they probably won't come. You can all go home and rest. Go to sleep early!"

"Damn you, are you messing with me again?"

"You probably won't even believe me if I tell you, but this time I made a wrong judgment..."

"Who are you trying to fool!"

"See, I knew you wouldn't believe me. I also can't understand how I could make a mistake with my intelligence! Alas, I won't say any more. I still have things to do. I'll contact you later!" After sending this message, Han Jia Gongzi quickly set Shui Shen to message屏蔽 (message blocking), completely ignoring Shui Shen's message bombardment. He looked at the five people on the two boats and said, "Comrades, the biggest challenge in history has arrived. In such an unfamiliar main city and unfamiliar environment, do you have the confidence to kill Jian Nan You?"

"As long as you tell me where he is, it's a piece of cake," Gu Fei said lazily.

This really hit Han Jia Gongzi's sore spot. This was a rare occurrence where an unexpected situation disrupted his entire plan. You Ge said very guiltily, "This time it's my fault. I was careless."

"It's not your fault!" Han Jia Gongzi waved his hand. Everyone thought he was going to admit his mistake, which was a rare occurrence, and were preparing to listen carefully, only to see him turn around gracefully, support his forehead, and say, "Xiawu City? Who the hell designed this?"

"Ahchoo!" Ye Xiao Wu, a conscientious game worker, suddenly sneezed heavily.
