America 1881: Legend of the West

Chapter 53 Farewell



The trooper who chased the first one was very excited.

Although the shot he just fired didn't seem to hit the target, judging from the blood stains along the way and the dropped sword, the man must have been injured.

If you continue to chase like this, you can kill this person just by running.

What's more, someone of his teammates has already gone around to outflank him.

No, we can't let them take the lead. This person belongs to me.

Thinking of this, his steps became faster.

He turned the corner directly in front, and then saw three black holes pointing at him.

"Bang, bang, bang"

Three guns fired at the same time, and the unlucky mounted policeman had several holes in his body before he knew what was going on.

The legs and feet slowed down a little, and the mounted policemen who were following behind only saw a person flying backwards from the corner, his back hit the wall, and he sat slumped on the ground like a rag doll, lifeless.

"The enemy has reinforcements!"

The mounted policemen took out their weapons one after another, as if they were facing a formidable enemy. They pressed against the houses along the alley, trying to fight back.

"Fight back while they're shooting!"

A mounted policeman leaned against the corner, stretched out his gun, and pulled the trigger, preparing to shoot blindly.

As a result, the corner of the wall beside him exploded, splinters flew, and the mounted policeman's gun fell to the ground. His arm drooped and he was badly injured.

The sprayers on the opposite side have been pouring out firepower continuously, and during the short reloading time, there are two rifles making up for the firepower.

The mounted police were temporarily pinned down at the corner and unable to move forward.

"Boss, retreat, your wound is still bleeding." Sean shot the mounted policeman who tried to fight back and retracted him. He looked at the wound on Chen Jianqiu's arm and said a little worriedly.

Chen Jianqiu glanced at the bodies of the two mounted policemen lying at the exit.

These two people were ordered to outflank them, and were caught at the intersection by Sean and Feiniao.

One of them was beaten from behind by Asuka as soon as he dismounted, and the other died under Asuka's axe.

If you don't leave now, you might be surrounded again later.

Chen Jianqiu fired two more shots at the corner, waved to Sean and Feiniao, and retreated towards the intersection.

Fultz walked a little slower because of his injuries, but when he arrived with the follow-up troops, he saw his subordinates blocked at the corner in twos and threes, and he suddenly became angry.

"What are you hiding here for? Where are the people?" He was a little anxious.

"Fire from the other side has blocked the intersection," the trooper with a wounded arm replied.

Fultz glanced at his subordinate's bleeding arm and motioned for him to go to the back to deal with the wound. He took off his hat and threw it toward the alley. At the same time, he turned around and dodged half of his body.

At the same time as him, there were two or three other mounted policemen holding rifles.

Even if his arm is injured, he is confident that he can kill his opponent before he can kill him.

However, nothing happened.

The alley in front of him was empty, except for the corpses of two of his subordinates lying near the exit.

Fultz instantly felt that his wound was extremely painful. What was more painful than the wound was his proud self-esteem.

"Chase!" He said through gritted teeth, "Even if I chase him to the end of the world, I will bring this man to justice!"

At this time, Chen Jianqiu was already on Heiluobo's back, chatting happily with Sean and Feiniao.

They came to a secluded place in the suburbs, and Chen Jianqiu planned to deal with his wounds first.

"You two arrived just in time."

Chen Jianqiu tore open the cloth wrapped around his arm. He found that fortunately the bullet did not hit him directly, but only took away a small piece of flesh on his arm. Otherwise, the arm might not be saved.

He took the medicine and gauze he got from Sean and re-bandaged the wound.

"There were police all along the way. We made a circle, but fortunately it was not too late." Feiniao said, "There is another reason..."

Chen Jianqiu looked back at Feiniao and Sean, who looked a little embarrassed, and made a rough guess.

He didn't say anything, just gave Sean a little finger.

"Just a few hundred dollars. The congressman's family doesn't have as much cash as I thought." Sean muttered, taking out a wad of U.S. dollars from his bag and handing it to Chen Jianqiu.

Chen Jianqiu took out some and gave them to Sean and Feiniao, and put the rest into his horse's bag.

Sean tried to change the subject, "You should bring Adam with you for this kind of thing. Although he is often drunk, his gun is really accurate and fast."

Adam?

Chen Jianqiu said nothing more. He was silent for a while and continued to treat the wound. Seeing that their boss was silent, Sean and Feiniao didn't say anything, so they came to help Chen Jianqiu.

After treating their wounds, they remounted their horses and headed towards the village.

Not long after walking, a group of people suddenly appeared in the distance, and it was dark.

Some of them were riding horses, some were riding donkeys, but most of them were running behind them on two legs. They also had various weapons in their hands, including rakes and pitchforks.

Both Sean and Asuka pulled out their guns,

Chen Jianqiu observed carefully and motioned to the two of them to put down their weapons.

The group of three people was also seen on the other side. An old man in the lead rushed to them quickly, dismounted and bowed:

"Young Master, my subordinate arrived too late to save me and deserves death."

The old man kneeling down was Zhang Danian.

Chen Jianqiu was a little dumbfounded. This group of people was loyal, and he had no doubt that they were willing to fight the mounted policemen chasing him. However, the current fighting strength...

He turned over and dismounted, glanced at the group of people behind the old man, and found that several martial artists from before were also inside.

"I told you, just call me Jianqiu." Chen Jianqiu helped Zhang Danian up from the ground, "Where are the women and children?"

"Young Master, oh, no, Jianqiu, they have all returned to the village and settled down. Everyone here is willing to follow me and fight the foreigners." The old man was a little frightened, and he said bitterly, "It's all my fault that my subordinates are not doing things well. , there is a traitor among the people below."

The traitor mentioned by Zhang Danian naturally refers to He Hongsheng.

"It's okay, it has nothing to do with him." Chen Jianqiu was not sure whether He Hongsheng had exposed his and Zhang Danian's identities, but at least for now, it seemed that the Qing government had no intention of getting involved.

In the United States, even if these weaklings have the heart, they don't have the guts.

"I suggest that we change places to reminisce about old times." Although Adam on the side couldn't understand what Chen Jianqiu and Zhang Danian were talking about, he knew that the mounted policemen would not give up.

A group of people returned to the village.

"Jianqiu, are you leaving today?" Zhang Danian sat at the table. After hearing Chen Jianqiu's plan, he immediately felt a little unable to sit still.

"Well, we need to hide in the mountains for a while to avoid the wind." Chen Jianqiu said in English, "Help us prepare some food."

"And Erguotou." Adam added on the side.

Chen Jianqiu took out a wad of U.S. dollars from his bag and handed part of it to Zhang Danian: "This is not a place to live for a long time. You take them south, find a suitable place to buy a piece of land, and run it well."

Zhang Danian stood up in a hurry: "Jianqiu, won't you take us away? I still have some strength that can be used."

Chen Jianqiu shook his head: "These people need you more. I have my own arrangements. When the time is right, I will have people come to find you."

He turned around, waved to Niu San, and handed him the remaining U.S. dollars and a piece of paper: "Go to Montrose in the south and take this certificate to a weapons shop owner named Browning. , use the money to buy some guns and ammunition from him."

He warned: "The gun does not have to be the most advanced, but it should be enough to arm the people in the village. Buy enough ammunition and let him teach you how to use it. Come back and practice more. If the money is not enough, tell the boss that I will come back later." Give it back to him."

Niu San nodded.

Chen Jianqiu and his party packed their luggage and it was already nightfall.

He sat on the black radish, facing Zhang Danian and the villagers who came to see him off, cupping his hands and clasping his fists:

"Mountains and rivers meet each other, and we can all look forward to it in the future. Everyone, please cherish it."

After saying that, he turned the horse's head, and the five people and five horses disappeared into the night.

I have to go out today, the second update will be later, probably around 9 o'clock
