Zhou Gu looked ahead at the dense forest, took a deep breath, and immediately said to Zhang Yun, "Turn around, change the path."
Zhang Yun nodded silently, also feeling that it was not wise to continue in this direction. To meet two thousand soldiers from the residence, all armed with bows and arrows, and then be ambushed from behind, that would be a road to certain death.
So, the pair led the Nanchu King in turning back.
After turning back for about three miles, they changed directions again, heading for a certain ravine.
Ajiu gently reminded Zhou Gu, "Fourth Young Master, once we bypass this mountain ravine, we will come upon the Lingshui River."
"Yes, we'll take the water path." Zhou Gu nodded.
"But we don't have a boat."
"Then we'll build a boat."
Ajiu was surprised, "Do you know how to build a boat?"
"Not exactly," Zhou Gu replied, "but I've seen the blueprints. I can give it a try. It shouldn't be too difficult to make a simple raft, right?"
