Chapter 109 Choosing a Route
Wu Le looked at His Highness, whose eyes were slightly moist, and lowered his eyes without any comfort. He was actually quite envious of Kolanti and the others.

At least His Highness takes them to heart.

After Zuo Ling explained everything, he returned to the room and saw Jun Yiluo staring out the window in a daze.

In fact, I was chatting with Xiaoqi in my heart.

"What is your highness thinking?"

"Zuo Ling, what do you think the chances of us being able to successfully exchange Mermaid Tears if we just ask them directly?"

Mermaid Tears are the water that mermaids soak in their eggshells. It is also a sacred object of their clan. Zuo Ling didn't think they would exchange it so casually.

"Maybe if the conditions are good."

Zuo Ling took her into his arms and let her sit on his lap.

"The mermaids have always been xenophobic. I heard that they have been fighting among themselves recently. I'm afraid our trip this time won't be smooth."

When Jun Yiluo heard him say this, her eyes darkened. She knew that there had been fierce infighting among the mermaids recently.

She had just discussed this with Xiao Qi. Lan Yin was not on the Jellyfish Star at the moment, and the people who were chasing him had been tracking his whereabouts.

She originally wanted to negotiate terms with Lan Yin, where she would help him secure the throne and he would give her his mermaid tears.

This is not possible at the moment, so we can only think of another way.

"What do you think the chances of success are if we just rob them?"

Zuo Ling: “…”

"I think there's a greater chance that we'll be hunted down."

Mermaids are the most vengeful creatures, cruel and murderous.

Jun Yiluo pinched his tense face with amusement, "Why are you so nervous? I'm just kidding!"

Zuo Ling was silent. He felt that His Highness had really thought so.

Jun Yiluo looked at Zuo Ling's still tense expression and laughed even more happily in his arms.

"Okay, okay, don't be so serious.

I know it's not feasible to snatch the mermaid's tears, I just said it casually."

They are not suitable for living in water for a long time, and they are afraid that they will drown in the water before they can grab the fish.

Zuo Ling breathed a sigh of relief, but there was still a hint of worry in his eyes.

"Your Highness, the internal strife among the mermaids is complicated. We must act with caution and it is best to protect ourselves."

Jun Yiluo nodded and looked out the window again.

"Your Highness, don't worry too much. Just do your best."

Jun Yiluo hummed muffledly, hoping that everything would go well.

"Your Highness, please take a rest. You didn't get much sleep last night."

It would have been better if he hadn't mentioned it. As soon as he mentioned this, Jun Yiluo started to feel sleepy and a little embarrassed.

She Ying pestered her all night last night and she hardly slept. Now she still feels a dull pain somewhere.

Jun Yiluo coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment.

"Yeah, I'm a little sleepy."

She walked to the bed and sat down, and Zuo Ling considerately pulled the quilt over her.

After Jun Yiluo lay down, he closed his eyes and instructed Xiao Qi in his mind, asking her to monitor the movements of Lan Yin and the mermaid tribe in real time.

...

After she fell asleep, Zuo Ling left the room and discussed the next steps with Wu Le and Bruce, the leader of the palace guards who came from another queen's platoon to protect Jun Yiluo.

"To reach Jellyfish Star, we will have to pass through the Blood Wolf Star Pirate Territory, then go to the border of the Federal Empire, and finally pass through the Ice Rain Area before we can arrive." Wu Le pointed to the virtual map and analyzed.

Zuo Ling nodded slightly, staring at the virtual map with a serious expression. "We must be fully prepared to pass through the Blood Wolf Star Pirates' territory."

Bruce crossed his arms and looked serious.

"Do we have enough troops to deal with the pirates' attacks? There may also be various uncertainties on the border of the Federation Empire."

Wu Le frowned and thought for a moment, "The Blood Wolf Star Pirates are currently seriously injured, so they will not attack us."

"The biggest hidden danger now is the Federal Empire."

The three continued to have an in-depth discussion on route planning and possible problems that might be encountered.

"If we take this star track, can we avoid contact with the Federation? In recent years, we have been fighting wars of varying sizes with the Federation, and they might deliberately intercept us." Bruce pointed to another smaller star track.

Zuo Ling looked at the star track Bruce pointed at and fell into deep thought. After a moment, he slowly spoke:

“This star track can indeed avoid contact with the Federation to a certain extent, but there are also some risks.

It is relatively remote, and may encounter some unknown dangers, and the stability of the star track is difficult to guarantee. "

Wu Le also nodded in agreement: "Yes, although this star track can avoid the Federation, it may also lead to other difficulties. We can't just consider the conflict with the Federation, we must also consider various factors comprehensively."

Bruce frowned, "So do you think we should take the risk of taking this star track, or choose a relatively safe route that may cause conflict with the Federation?"

The three of them fell silent for a moment, and the atmosphere in the room became solemn.

They dare not jump to conclusions rashly, as any wrong decision may bring serious consequences.

If it were just them, they would be fine, but now that the princess is following them, they have to be cautious.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Jun Yiluo pushed the door open from outside, noticed the tense atmosphere in the room, and asked.

When Zuo Ling and the others saw her coming, they quickly saluted and told her what they had discussed.

Jun Yiluo walked to the virtual map and carefully observed the two routes.

She pondered for a long time, and finally said:

"We can't just consider the immediate risks, we also have to consider the long-term benefits. If we take a remote star track, although we can temporarily avoid the Federation, we may encounter more unknown dangers.

A conflict with the Federation is not completely inevitable, and we can find a way to communicate with the border troops.”

"If it is indeed possible under normal circumstances, the spies reported that the federal marshal recently appeared at the border."

Jun Yiluo was puzzled. Wouldn't it be easier to solve the problem if the federal marshal was here? Why did Zuo Ling look so solemn?

Perhaps seeing her doubts, Zuo Ling began to explain: "The spies mentioned that recently, Federal Marshal Ling Yu seems to have become a different person. He has a strange temper, unstable personality, and is very... belligerent."

"How can a person suddenly change his personality? Could he have been replaced?"

Zuo Ling shook his head. "Not to mention that his face is too recognizable and no one can replace him. The fact that he can pass facial recognition and multiple scans proves that he is the real person."

Jun Yiluo's eyes narrowed, and she thought of a possibility, would it be like her?
Their conversation did not distract Silver Wolf, who was taking a nap on the table beside him.

Hearing this, the sweeping action of the tail paused.

He half-opened his eyes and glanced at Jun Yiluo. Seeing that she looked serious, he jumped off the table and ran to her side to rub against her.

It also licked Zuo Ling's hand when she wasn't paying attention. It seemed like Jun Yiluo was used to being rubbed and licked by it from time to time.

I just moved my hand away and tapped it on the forehead to stop it from making trouble.

"Perhaps we can go the peddler route. Interstellar law stipulates that all galaxies cannot intercept peddler cargo ships."

Jun Yiluo had not prepared anything. She was going to take the traveling merchant route at the beginning. When she passed by Feiyu Star, she also wanted to see the planet where Kolanti lived.

Zuo Ling thought for a moment, and then said, "Your Highness, the traveling merchant route is indeed a feasible option.

The provisions of interstellar law can guarantee our safety to a certain extent.

However, the itinerant merchants’ routes may be more tortuous and take longer. We cannot be sure whether we will encounter other unforeseen situations along the way. "
