Before the sun had risen, the caravan departed.

Thanks to the full payment of the protection fee and the certificate issued by the Jewish group, the caravan successfully passed the Arkansas River Bridge, which was guarded by the legions.

"How long will it take to get to Oklahoma City if we travel day and night?"

Stewart was stunned, looking a little surprised.

"What, don't want to go back to Houston sooner?" Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "Don't forget, I've already prepared a wedding gift for you." ”

"This ......," Stewart scratched his scalp, "if it's fast, it will be there in two days." If it's slow, it's only three days. ”

"Assign three drivers to each car, take turns driving and resting, do not stop at night, and strive to arrive within two days, at most two and a half days."

Stewart nodded and agreed. The caravan was well stocked with fuel and food, so there was no need to stop in town along the way.

In a short time, more than a hundred vehicles from the caravan passed the bridge.

The bridge was badly damaged by the catastrophic earthquake, and one section of the bridge deck collapsed, and the Jewish group only paved the deck of a mechanized bridge used by the army, so it could only be passed in one direction, and only one vehicle could be allowed on the bridge deck at a time.

Once Stuart had made arrangements, the caravan departed.

According to Chu Tianjiang's orders, Rachel and the other six people, each in a group of two, took turns to open the way in front, Nichol took Connie and them to escort the caravan, and Chu Tianjiang was with Clara. Without bringing the three Andre brothers, Chu Tianjiang could only do more things with Nicol.

It's not a bad thing, it's much better than letting them idle and causing trouble everywhere.

At noon, the caravan stopped, but only for an hour, mainly to feed the caravan personnel and solve their physiological needs.

Taking advantage of this time, Chu Tianjiang took Nichol, Connie and others to check the headlights of each vehicle.

"We're going to go at night?" It wasn't until the caravan left again that Clara asked.

"Yes, you have to go at night." Chu Tianjiang drove in person, so he was more careful. Although Clara's condition is much better than the previous day, she still can't afford the fatigue.

"Need to rush to Houston in such a hurry?"

Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "If Monica finds out that her guard has shrunk by one-fifth, what do you think she will do with us?" ”

Clara was stunned for a moment and said, "Monica sent the guards to deal with us?" ”

"What happened last night, but those guys will never go back to Denver and won't continue to follow us."

Clara was shocked again. "You killed them all?"

"I'm not the only one, Nichol and the others have a share. Those guys had been following the caravan, and last night it was about thirty kilometers north of us. If I don't kill them, they'll be on our hands after we cross the Arkansas, and most likely tonight. ”

"If I were Monica, I'd be furious."

"Don't forget, Monica is a woman."

Clara glanced at Chu Tianjiang, a little unsure of the meaning of Chu Tianjiang's words.

"Didn't you tell me that women are cautious?" Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "So, we have to get to Oklahoma City as soon as possible." ”

Clara understood, and then said, "You think Monica is a cautious woman?" ”

"How's that Queen Victoria necklace, pretty, isn't it?"

"It's okay, but it's nowhere near as good as the one Nicol and the others made for me."

"In the future, I'll make one for you myself, and I'm sure it looks better."

"Really?"

Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "How did you get that necklace in Zhilu Dao?" ”

"Nicole, they probably talked about it, and it seemed that they had exchanged it for their jewelry."

"It's not exchanged, it's auctioned. At the end of the day, it was Monica who was bidding with us, and the necklace was hers. ”

Clara was stunned for a moment, and then said, "You mean, she deliberately raised the price at the auction?" ”

"All she wanted was Nicole's jewelry, and I really didn't think it was Rachel who was bidding. What's more, after the auction was over, she put on some of Nichol's jewels and deliberately let me see them. ”

"In this way, Monica is not only a cautious eye, but also very convincing, and wants to make you surrender."

"Then we'll have to get to Oklahoma City as soon as possible."

Clara nodded and said, "If that's the case, we should think more about how to get back to Lakewood than to get to Oklahoma City, or even to Denver." ”

"You think she'll do it on our way back to Lakewood?"

"If you had left Lakewood with Andre and Connie's legion with you, Monica wouldn't have made it to Houston alive. Even if last night's sneak attack fails, she'll send more of her men to intercept us before Houston. Don't forget, her guards are all X-warriors, and these guys are definitely faster than caravans, and they don't have to go along the road. The problem now is that you didn't take everyone with you, even leaving the three Andre brothers in Lakewood to show that we're going back to Houston as well. Unless the action against us is supported by other rabbis, Monica will not send any more men against us before we arrive in Houston. In any case, she only had a guard of five hundred men, and it was obvious that she could not send them all. Based on what happened last night, there is a good chance that dealing with us is just a matter of Monica alone, and has nothing to do with the other rabbis. ”

"The problem is, we're dealing with a Jewish group, not a rabbi in Monica."

Clara smiled and said, "So, during the two days you were in Denver, you saw everybody say, 'I'm here to deal with the Jewish bloc,' or did you shout something like that on the street?" ”

"This ......"

"Perhaps, Monica sees you as a serious threat, and even the other rabbis see you that way. The question is, do the six rabbis of the Jewish bloc wear a pair of pants? ”

"What do you mean?"

"You're a person, not only don't you know women very well, but you're not good at intrigue." Clara smiled and shook her head, "Do you think that all groups in this world take care of each other with the same iron heart as you and Lao Zhang?" It can be said that a relationship like you and Lao Zhang cannot be replicated in anyone else. The six rabbis will never wear a pair of pants, they have supreme common interests, and there are inevitably internal contradictions, perhaps irreconcilable contradictions. Yes, to the other five rabbis, you are a threat to the Jewish clique, but they don't necessarily think that they can't buy you, or that Monica's price for buying you is too low. ”

"Could it be that they're going to add an extra seat for me?"

Clara smiled and said, "If you don't increase your seats, there is also a way to buy you." ”

"How?"

"Vacate a seat."

Chu Tianjiang was stunned for a moment and said, "You mean, let me replace Monica?" ”

"Only now?"

"This ......"

"That's why I said, you're not good at intrigue at all." Clara smiled and stretched out her hand and rubbed it on Chu Tianjiang's face. "In the eyes of the other five rabbis, you are now only hostile to Monica, not to the Jewish bloc, and if you can get rid of Monica, in addition to proving that you are strong enough, you have done a good thing for some of them, so they will definitely use Monica's position to buy you. In this case, the other five rabbis, at least some of them, will not help Monica against us. ”

"In that case, they should come to me."

"Of course, but only on the premise that you have to prove yourself. To put it bluntly, if all you have is money and nothing else, you won't be able to defeat Monica, and the rabbis who want to use your strength against Monica may not be able to afford you. By the same token, as long as you can prove yourself by taking out Monica, I'm willing to bet someone will come to your door right away. ”

Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "According to what you say, we don't need to go to Houston at all, we should go back and kill Monica now." ”

"Hey, what shall I say about you?" Clara sighed.

"What, is there a problem?"

"If that's the case, you're not dealing with Monica, you're dealing with the entire Jewish community."

"This ......"

"First of all, it only proves that you have the ability to kill Monica, but it doesn't prove that you have the ability to replace her. Secondly, killing Monica just because of some minor contradiction will only put the other rabbis in danger and treat you as mortal enemies, and even attract even more powerful opponents because of it. In the end, there has to be a good reason to replace Monica in the end, and the best reason is for Monica to come to us, to convince the other rabbis that we are victims of Monica's power ambitions, and that we have no choice but to deal with Monica. ”

After Clara finished speaking, Chu Tianjiang laughed.

Obviously, Zhang Xiaogang asked Chu Tianjiang to bring Clara, which was definitely not a whim. Clara's strategic talent is not much worse than Zhang Xiaogang.

"Got it?"

"What are you going to do?"

"Once in Oklahoma City, let the caravan stay and buy food, and we'll go to Houston. It would be great if the Houston Chamber of Commerce could win over, and even if it couldn't, it would be better to return to Oklahoma City in time and return to Lakewood with the caravan to help the Asian American group tide over the difficulties. ”

"Nothing else?"

"Need to make other arrangements?"

"Husband, you're just too straight." Clara sighed again, "When you get to Oklahoma City, let Connie and the others quietly return to Lakewood." Before we can return to Lakewood from Oklahoma City, Andre and his men must lead their legions south to meet them. ”

"This ......"

"If possible, let the Wild Rose send out the Rose Legion, at least with Tamarra's troops. If we can't reconcile with Monica, we'll have to kill her before we get back to Lakewood, or at least make her the Commander of the Light Pole, or we'll be passive even if we go back to Lakewood. ”

Chu Tianjiang thought about it carefully and understood what Clara meant, so he nodded and agreed.
