Chapter 73 Xining Dynasty, outside Qiongzhou City.
"Master Zuo, why don't we enter the city?"
Deng Si'er asked Zuo Chi strangely, looking at the ancient tower in front of him.
"You don't know something.
Although Nanhu Villa is at the foot of Wushan Mountain to the west of Qiongzhou City, if you pass through Qiongzhou City, you will reach the back of Wushan Mountain.
You need to climb another mountain to reach it."
Zuo Chi raised his finger and pointed.
He explained the tall mountain peaks that were vaguely visible in the distance.
"Oh, so that's it.
Then there should be a shortcut which way we go," Deng Si'er asked again, looking around while asking.
Zuo Chi nodded, pointed to a sparsely populated path next to them, and said: "I remember that we should take the trail here and pass through a mountain forest, and then we can get there."
"In that case, Zuo Chi, please lead the way.
Let's leave quickly.
Everyone must be tired after walking for the past few days.
Let's get to Nanhu Villa as soon as possible so that we can have a good night's sleep."
After Chu Jing heard Zuo Chi's words, he smiled and said, but neither Deng Si'er nor Dou Ba saw it.
Chu Jing's expression after finishing speaking was a bit unusual.
Zuo Chi nodded understandingly upon hearing this, looking at Chu Jing's eyes still on him, he tightened the riding crop in his hand slightly.
Everyone turned their horses and headed towards the path pointed by Zuo Chi.
"There are really few people walking on this road, and it's full of mountains and forests.
I'm worried about them."
Chu Jing couldn't help but ask in a low voice when Zuo Chi rode past him.
Zuo Chi paused slightly when he heard the sound, still nodded and said softly: "Uncle Jing, they have followed us all the way and they will show up sooner or later."
If Deng Si'er and Dou Ba heard their conversation at this time, they might jump up in shock.
Who actually followed them all the way?
It turned out that on the first night when they decided to go to Wushan, Qiongzhou to search for contemporary Nanhu Baicao, Zuo Chi and Chu Jing discovered that someone was following them.
However, after two days of observation, Zuo Chi and Chu Jing knew that there were not many people following them, about three people, but they couldn't figure out why they came.
However, these people who were following them followed their footsteps.
They walked as they walked and stopped as soon as they stopped.
They never took action or revealed their traces.
Since the people who were following them had not yet revealed their intentions, Zuo Chi and Chu Jing agreed that it would be better not to tell Deng Si'er and Dou Ba yet, lest they panic.
However, although Zuo Chi and Chu Jing did not tell Deng Si'er and Dou Ba that someone was following them, they secretly increased their vigilance and never relaxed for a moment.
However, although you need to climb over the mountains to go to the foothills of Wushan through Qiongzhou City, this route is the wide road with the most people.
But Zuo Chi actually chose the sparsely populated path they were walking on, which was still full of mountains and forests.
Although Chu Jing was stunned for a moment, but then he understood Zuo Chi's thoughts, but he couldn't help feeling worried.
Chu Jing probably guessed that the reason Zuo Chi chose this way was because this time was the last place they could take action before arriving at Nanhu Courtyard.
In other words, taking action on the sparsely populated and forested trails is their only chance to achieve their goal.
Zuo Chi wanted to use this to lure out those who were following them.
However, Chu Jing squinted at Deng Si'er and Dou Ba, who were chatting and laughing, and saw that the relationship between the two people had quickly heated up several levels over the past few days.
One is an underage boy who only knows the Three-Legged Cat Kung Fu, and the other is Jiang Hu Cao Mang, who has been tortured and his body has not yet fully recovered.
Compared with the three stalkers who may have others, the situation is really Not optimistic.
Chu Jing also secretly commented in his heart that those who were following them were not ordinary people in terms of skills, methods, or kung fu.
Even if he and Zuo Chi were in charge, they might not be able to gain the upper hand.
But Zuo Chi Chu Jing didn't know how Zuo Chi judged the current situation, but since Zuo Chi chose to take them on this remote path, he must have been prepared.
Zuo Chi took the lead and rode steadily ahead.

He and Chu Jing had a tacit understanding and placed Deng Si'er and Dou Ba in the middle one after another when they stepped into the trail to prevent trouble.
Just in case.
What Chu Jing expected was not much different from what Zuo Chi was thinking.
Zuo Chi really wanted to take this opportunity to lure out those who had been following them all the way, but he was not as worried as Chu Jing. .
Because this trail is actually connected to many trails in the mountains and forests.
People who have not actually walked these trails will not know the twists and turns.
Those who were following would probably not be familiar with these trails, but Zuo Chi himself and Yu Baicao had traveled through these seemingly ordinary trails because of a bet, so Zuo Chi could lead them on this path with such determination.
"Hey, Uncle Jing, what are you doing behind you?
It would be great if we could all come together and chat."
While Deng Si'er and Dou Ba were joking, they caught a glimpse of Chu Jing walking a little behind and shouted.
Then, Deng Si'er glanced at Zuo Chi, who was walking in front, and thought to himself, how could these two people seem to be discussing, one was far ahead, and the other was far behind.
"I said, Mr.
Zuo is the same.
Uncle Jing is walking behind alone.
You don't want to walk slower.
Wait, we guys are always walking in front alone.
Isn't it boring?"
Deng Si'er looked at He shouted while looking at Zuo Chi's back.
When Zuo Chi heard the sound, he slowed down.
He pulled the reins and looked back at Deng Si'er, and then said: "It's nothing.
You are not familiar with the road.
I really don't remember it that clearly, so I walked in front so that I could watch carefully and not lead you astray."
Deng Si'er immediately said strangely: "How can you not remember clearly?
This is nothing like you."
"Maybe it's been too long.
After all, it was six or seven years ago.
I've only walked the path here once, so it's inevitable that I won't remember it clearly."
Zuo Chi smiled lightly and said very naturally.
Deng Si'er didn't doubt that he was there, so he didn't care and continued talking and laughing with Dou Ba.
Suddenly, Zuo Chi's horse suddenly raised its front hooves, and what followed was a sharp neighing sound.
Deng Si'er and Dou Ba were immediately stunned into silence.
Zuo Chi's face darkened, he drove his horse steadily and paced on the spot, looking around with vigilant eyes.
The same is true for Chu Jing.
"Master Zuo, Uncle Jing, what are you doing?"
Deng Si'er couldn't help but feel nervous when he saw the two of them looking like this, and asked with some stuttering.
Zuo Chi didn't even look at Deng Si'er, but said coldly: "There are people in the woods
