Asking about boats to Suzhou didn't go very smoothly. The next cargo ship bound for Suzhou wouldn't leave for another four days.
To prepare for any unforeseen circumstances, Chen Feng decided to make plans for both possibilities. The other option was to follow the original story: travel from Yangzhou to Ghost Yin Mountain, descend the mountain to Baihe Town at its foot, then enter Hidden Dragon Cave.
