Ya it’s simple
Putting the following question in past tense would really pay you a answer
“If I had asked you before! Would you have said that this was a correct path to respective town

Ask one of them which path the other one would say was the right path. The truth teller knows the other one lies and would tell you the wrong path and so says the wrong path. The liar knows the truth teller will tell the correct path, and so will lie and tell the wrong path. Either way, go down the path not mentioned. To tune this to your question, ask either if the other would say the left path is the right path. They both say 'no' if it is, and 'yes' if it isn't.

Ask one of them which path the other one would say was the right path. The truth teller knows the other one lies and would tell you the wrong path and so says the wrong path. The liar knows the truth teller will tell the correct path, and so will lie and tell the wrong path. Either way, go down the path not mentioned. To tune this to your question, ask either if the other would say the left path is the right path. They both say 'no' if it is, and 'yes' if it isn't.
