To get from Denver to Houston, you first have to head south to Pueblo on the north bank of the Arkansas River, and then split into two routes, one south to Fort Worth via Albuquerque, and the other east through Oklahoma City and then south to Fort Worth, and finally to Houston via Fort Worth.

Chu Tianjiang's first consideration was not which way to go, but whether he could reach Pueblo safely.

Although before leaving, Stewart paid a high protection fee to the Jewish group according to Chu Tianjiang's instructions, Chu Tianjiang was still worried that the caravan would not be able to reach Pueblo. Monica has a guard of 500 people, and there is reason to believe that the members of the guard are all X warriors, plus Monica's energy body, this guard has enough combat strength to be able to resist the caravan's escort.

To this end, Chu Tianjiang made full preparations.

According to his arrangement, he set off with Clara, Nicole and others first, and waited for the caravan that left half a day late after arriving in Pueblo. Because Stewart paid enough protection money, even if Monica wanted to deal with Chu Tianjiang, he would not openly deal with the caravan of the Houston Chamber of Commerce. Once the caravan has successfully reached Pueblo, decide whether to go to Albuquerque or Oklahoma City.

Even within the influence of the Jewish group, few people left the city at night.

Chu Tianjiang went the opposite way and chose to set off at two o'clock in the morning. Because it was still winter, it didn't light up until after half past seven. The off-road vehicle travels at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour and reaches Pueblo, the boundary of the Jewish group's power range, at dawn. If he was ambushed by Monica's guards here, Chu Tianjiang could only take Clara and Nichole directly to Houston.

Luckily, there was no danger all night.

Before dawn, Chu Tianjiang asked Nichol to drive the car off the road and park next to a wood. Because Clara was with him, Chu Tianjiang arranged two off-road vehicles, driven by Nicol and Rachel respectively, while he held Clara to slow down the violent bumps caused by high-speed driving.

The food prepared for Clara is cooked and ready to eat.

Compared with some time ago, Clara's condition is much better, not only has a better appetite, but also no longer regurgitates and vomits, and she has gained a little weight. If it weren't for the fact that her body was no longer sick, Chu Tianjiang would not have let Clara stay, let alone take her to Houston.

While Clara was having breakfast, Maya hurried over.

"What's going on?"

"There's a car coming."

"Car?"

"An off-road vehicle, it seems to be an off-road vehicle for a caravan."

"Off-road vehicles in the Stuart caravan?"

Maya nodded, Chu Tianjiang didn't ask any more questions, let Nicol stay with Clara, and then followed Maya towards the road.

There was only one car, indeed an off-road vehicle in the caravan.

Is something wrong?

Because of the high protection fee, Chu Tianjiang did not ask Stewart to hire guards, but planned to go to Albuquerque or Oklahoma City to consider hiring guards. Even if you don't hire a guard, it's not a big problem. Stuart left half of the vehicles in Lakewood, which was given to Connie's legion, and only half of them returned to Houston, of which only three trucks carried the guns they repaired through Chu Tianjiang, and three trucks carried the daily necessities needed by the caravan personnel, five trucks carried fuel, and the rest of the vehicles were all empty and did not carry goods. Although Stewart planned to buy some goods along the way to ship back to Houston, Chu Tianjiang had no idea and just wanted to rush to Houston as soon as possible. The purpose of bringing these vehicles with them is to be able to load enough food to help the Asian American group solve their urgent needs when they return to Lakewood.

Such a caravan that did not carry much cargo did not need too many escorts.

Besides, Chu Tianjiang and Nichol are the best guards. If you encounter robbers, a few of them are enough to solve the problem.

Chu Tianjiang nodded at Maya and asked her to stop the off-road vehicle.

Seeing the person who got out of the car, Chu Tianjiang immediately had a headache.

It wasn't the caravan sent by Stewart, it was Connie and the others.

When she brought Connie and the other five over, Maya also looked helpless.

"Connie, what are you doing here?"

"Brother Chu, we've discussed, let's go to Houston with you."

Chu Tianjiang was stunned for a moment and said, "I don't need you to go to Houston with me, and your training hasn't been completed yet, hurry back." ”

"Nope! You don't need us to take care of you, but Clara has to be taken care of. ”

"Stuart has enough people to take care of her."

"But where's Stewart?"

Chu Tianjiang shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I have my own arrangements for these. Go back quickly, don't mess around, or I'll ......."

"How else? Anyway, we've decided to go to Houston with you. ”

"Not only will you not be able to help, but you will hold us back."

"Are we that bad in your eyes? We've been training hard, and we've been able to beat Samuel and them, no worse than Nicole. ”

Chu Tianjiang was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled bitterly.

"Don't look down on us, we are all real warriors."

"Connie, you don't understand, you ......"

"What don't I understand?" Connie turned her gaze to Maya, who was standing beside Chu Tianjiang. "Why don't you let me try it out with Maya?"

"Compete with me?" Maya immediately laughed. "Connie, you're still far from it."

"Really? I don't think so. ”

Maya stepped forward, ready to teach Connie a lesson.

Don't mess around! Chu Tianjiang warned Maya through his consciousness.

If she didn't give her a look at the color, she didn't know how thick the sky was. Maya also communicated with Chu Tianjiang through consciousness.

Connie didn't show weakness at all, and also stepped forward, ready for a fight. It seems that she is very confident in herself, and she doesn't seem to take Maya seriously.

See? Maya glanced at Chu Tianjiang.

Chu Tianjiang sighed secretly. Okay, just teach her a lesson, but don't be too ruthless, she's not like you, not even the three Andrei brothers.

Don't worry, I don't need superpowers, I'm just playing with her. Maya smiled, took a few steps to the side, and beckoned to Connie. "Connie, defeat me, and we'll take a few of you. If you lose, you will listen to Brother Chu and go back immediately. ”

"Let's talk about it!"

Connie struck first, and it seemed that she had deeply understood the essence of Chu Tianjiang's fighting skills.

Maya did not break her promise, that is, she did not use superpowers, and only played to the limit of normal people. Although Maya also learned martial arts from Chu Tianjiang, her fighting skills are very similar to Isabella's, that is, she focuses on flexibility and does not pay much attention to strength and explosion.

Because Maya didn't use her superpowers, she couldn't defeat Connie immediately.

The two went back and forth, which dazzled Chu Tianjiang.

Chu Tianjiang had to admit that Connie had learned very well, except for a slightly weaker strength and some difficult movements that he was not proficient in, there were almost no mistakes in other aspects. What's more, Connie's figure is actually not suitable for Chu Tianjiang's fighting style. Strictly speaking, Connie should learn from Maya, focusing on flexibility, coupled with enough explosiveness, she will definitely become a first-class master among ordinary people.

After a while, Rachel and the others were all attracted to her, and even Clara rushed over accompanied by Nichol.

After several minutes of fighting, Maya had many opportunities to take Connie down, but instead of throwing a heavy hand, she just kicked or gently pushed her hands on irrelevant areas such as her thighs, buttocks, and chest, which looked like she was not fighting at all, but teasing Connie.

Being teased repeatedly by Maya, Connie fights more and more desperately, and her moves become more and more ferocious.

Maya, that's enough, let her climb down! Although Connie will definitely not be able to hurt Maya, Chu Tianjiang knows that it will not be able to end if it continues like this.

Connie rushed up again, wrestling and about to hold Maya, but Maya flashed sideways, stepped forward, and struck Connie's back with her right elbow. Although Maya had managed to control her strength, Connie still fell to the ground solidly. Instead of stopping, Maya turned around and rode on top of Connie, holding her down and then hugging Connie's head and neck.

"How's it going, did you throw in the towel? If I were your enemy, you would be a corpse by now! ”

Connie gritted her teeth and didn't speak, but struggled.

"Maya, that's enough!"

Hearing Chu Tianjiang's greeting, Maya stood up and let Connie go.

Chu Tianjiang walked over and stretched out his hand in front of Connie. Connie hesitated, grabbed Chu Tianjiang's hand, and got up from the ground.

"Now, how big is the gap between Zhilu Dao and Nichol, right?"

"Brother Chu, I will definitely defeat them."

"Then go back and hurry up and practice."

"No!"

Chu Tianjiang was stunned for a moment, and he was also a little angry.

"I didn't promise at first, I went back if I lost. Besides, as you said, no matter how good the training is, it can't compare to actual combat. If you don't give us a chance to fight, and Nicol and they can follow you all the time, how can we surpass them? "Connie is stubborn and talkative." Take us to Houston, we can not only take care of Clara, but also help out, and we definitely won't hold the team back. ”

"Connie!"

"Husband, you just promise Connie." Clara walked over, "It's still a long way to Houston, and Nichol and they have to follow you to deal with the enemy from time to time, so you can't let them stay with me all the time, right?" Besides, with Connie and the others, they can also chat with me to relieve my boredom. ”

Chu Tianjiang glared at Clara, but couldn't find a reason to refute it.

"It's okay to bring them, but they'll have to do our laundry and fold the quilt for us." Rachel walked over, "Also, I have to do all the chores." ”

Chu Tianjiang rolled his eyes, Rachel was too lazy.
