Chapter Seventy-Three

Xining Dynasty, outside the city of Qiongzhou.

"Lord Zuo, why don't we go into the city?" Deng Si'er looked at the quaint city tower in front of him and asked Zuo Idiot strangely.

"Do you know, although the 'Nanhu Courtyard' is at the foot of Wushan Mountain in the west of Qiongzhou City, but if you pass through Qiongzhou City, you will reach the back of Wushan, and you need to climb another mountain to reach it." Zuo Idiot raised his hand and pointed to the tall mountain peaks that were faintly visible in the distance and explained.

"Oh, I see, so which way do we go from? There should be a shortcut, right? Deng Si'er asked again, looking around while asking.

Zuo Idiot nodded, pointed to a sparsely populated path next to them, and said:

"I remember that I should have taken this trail, through a mountain forest, and I could get there."

"In that case, you lead the way, let's go quickly. After walking for the past few days, everyone should be tired, so we rushed to Nanhu Courtyard as soon as possible, so that we could have a good night's sleep. ”

After Chu Jing listened to Zuo's words, he said with a smile, but Deng Si'er and Dou Ba didn't see it, and Chu Jing's expression after he finished speaking was a little unusual.

Hearing this, Zuo Idiot nodded clearly, looked at Chu Jing's gaze that was still on him, and slightly tightened the horsewhip in his hand.

The crowd turned their horses' heads and walked towards the path to the left.

"Really going down this path? There are few pedestrians, and ...... Mountains and forests are all over me, I'm worried about them ......" Chu Jing couldn't help but ask in a low voice when Zuo Idiot beat his horse and passed by him.

Hearing this, Zuo Idiot paused slightly, still nodded and said softly:

"Uncle Jing, they have followed us all the way, and they will always show up sooner or later."

If the conversation between the two was heard by Deng Si'er and Dou Ba at this time, I am afraid that they might jump in shock.

What a person! Actually followed them all the way?

It turned out that on the first night when they decided to go to Wushan in Qiongzhou to find the contemporary Nanhu Baicao, Zuo Idiot and Chu Jing found that someone was following them.

However, after two days of observation, Zuo Idiot and Chu Jing knew that there were not many people who were following, about three people, but why they came, Zuo Idiot and Chu Jing couldn't think of an answer.

But the stalkers followed in their footsteps, and they walked and walked, and when they stopped, they stopped, and they stopped, and they never made a move, and they never showed their traces.

Since these people who were following them had not yet shown their intentions, Zuo Idiot and Chu Jing agreed that it was better not to tell Deng Si'er and Dou Ba first, lest the two of them panic.

However, although Zuo Idiot and Chu Jing did not tell Deng Si'er and Dou Ba about being followed, they secretly strengthened their vigilance and never relaxed for a moment.

However, although it is necessary to cross the mountain to go through Qiongzhou City to the foot of Wushan Mountain, this route is the wide road with the most people.

And Zuo Idiot actually chose the sparsely populated path they walked in front of them, or there were mountains and forests, although Chu Jing was stunned for a moment, but then he understood Zuo Idiot's thoughts, but he couldn't help but worry in his heart.

Chu Jing probably guessed that the reason why Zuo Idiot chose this way was because at this time, it was the last place they could use to do it before they arrived at the Nanhu Courtyard.

In other words, moving between sparsely populated and forested trails is the only chance they have to possibly achieve their goals.

And the left idiot wants to use this to lure out those who are behind them.

However, Chu Jing squinted his eyes and looked at Deng Si'er and Dou Ba, who were talking and laughing, and the relationship between the two of them quickly warmed up several levels after the journey of the past few days.

One is a hairy boy who is still an underage who can only do three-legged cat kung fu, and the other is a reckless man who has not fully recovered his body after being tortured, compared to the three stalkers who may have other people, the situation is really not optimistic.

Chu Jing also secretly commented in his heart that those who were stalking, whether it was in terms of technology, means, or kung fu, they were not ordinary people, even if he and Zuo Idiot were in charge, they might not be able to gain the upper hand.

But left-minded

Chu Jing didn't know how Zuo Idiot judged the current situation, but since Zuo Idiot chose to take them on this remote path, he must have been prepared in his heart.

Zuo Idiot took the lead and walked in front steadily, and he and Chu Jing had a tacit understanding that when they stepped into this trail, they put Deng Si'er and Dou Ba in the middle one after another, just in case.

What Chu Jing expected was not much different from what Zuo Idiot thought in his heart, and Zuo Idiot really wanted to take this opportunity to lure out those who had been following them all the way, but the worries in his heart were not as much as Chu Jing's.

Because this trail is actually connected to many trails in the mountains and forests, people who have not really walked through these trails will not know the twists and turns.

Those who follow must not be familiar with these trails, but Zuo Idiot himself and Yu Baicao walked all over these seemingly ordinary paths because of a bet, so Zuo Idiot can lead them on this path so firmly.

"Hey! Uncle Jing, what are you doing behind you? How nice it would be for everyone to come together and chat? While Deng Si'er and Dou Ba were laughing, they caught a glimpse of Chu Jing walking a little backward alone, so they shouted.

Then, Deng Si'er glanced at Zuo Idiot who was walking in front of him, and wondered in his heart, how could these two people talk to each other, one is far ahead of the front, and the other is far behind.

"I said, Master Zuo too, Uncle Jing walks behind alone, you don't say to walk slower and wait for our big guys, always walking in front alone, boring or not?" Deng Si'er looked at the back of Zuo Idiot and shouted.

Hearing this, Zuo Idiot slowed down, he pulled the reins and glanced back at Deng Si'er, and then said:

"It's nothing, you are not familiar with the road, I really think and I don't remember it so clearly, so I walked in front, so I watched carefully, don't take you to a fork in the road."

Deng Si'er immediately said strangely:

"How could you not remember clearly? It's not like you at all. ”

"Maybe it's been too long, right? After all, it was six or seven years ago, and I have only walked the path here, so I will inevitably remember it clearly. Zuo Idiot smiled faintly and said very naturally.

Deng Si'er didn't doubt him, so he didn't care, and continued to talk and laugh with Dou Ba.

Suddenly, Zuo's mount suddenly raised its front hooves, followed by a sharp hissing sound, and Deng Si'er and Dou Ba were immediately stunned.

Zuo's face sank, and he paced steadily on the horse, his eyes looking around vigilantly.

The same is true for Chu Jing.

"Uncle Zuo, Uncle Jing, who are you?" Deng Si'er couldn't help but feel nervous when he saw the two of them like this, and asked with a stammer.

Zuo Idiot didn't even glance at Deng Si'er, but said coldly:

"There's someone in the woods."
