Chapter 388: Stealth Art of the Night Cat (2)
We stayed at Lee Tae’s base for ten full days before finally setting off again.
“Let’s go, Geumdo!”
Brrrrrr...
Geumdo let out a low, reluctant groan.
He didn’t want to leave—obviously—but what could we do? This wasn’t our home. We couldn’t stay forever.
We needed to return to the Tang Clan and secure a place where Geumdo and the others could rest safely.
“I’ll figure out a proper spot for you near the Tang Clan, okay? Just be patient a little longer, Geumdo.”
Brr.
I coaxed him along, and we made our way first to Chongqing.
We usually traveled west from there—but this time, we turned north and followed the Fu River.
We were headed toward the Tongkou River, a tributary of the Yangtze that flows eastward from Sichuan.
The Jinsha River from Yunnan and the Min River from western Sichuan meet at Yibin to form the mighty Yangtze. Following the Min River upstream leads to Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan—where we usually docked for resupply and transit.
