(Thank you all for your support!) Black car thank you! Ask for recommendations! Collect! )

In the face of John Brown's greed, Li Mengyang wanted to make a tough refusal, can we still let you blackmail? But at this time.

"And me!"

I saw that with this crisp voice, it was a handsome young man on a horse, well, you can see at a glance that she is just a woman in a men's rough suit, and there is something on her chest!

"Eleanor?" Li Mengyang was even more surprised when he saw it, he really didn't expect it to be her.

That's right, it's Eleanor, who is alone at this time, with a pistol on her body, and has a heroic temperament.

"You? Are you ......" John Brown is so old, of course he can't fail to see that the man in front of him is a man, but this year a woman wants to ride a horse, then it is better to wear men's clothes, and the skirt is not convenient, "Do you know Alan Pinkerman?" ”

John Brown just wanted to find out who the girl was, which made him curious.

"I don't know." Eleanor's answer was very crisp.

"Well, that's nothing. But I wonder what good it would be to us, even if you were a friend of Mr. Eastwood, if you were a girl to join us? Do you know what we're going to do? You're a ...... girl."

"Don't look down on women!"

Very good, John Brown annoyed Eleanor, Li Mengyang knew it deeply, and then, he heard Eleanor rush to say.

"Mr. John Brown! You are a man of high morals! You are a staunch abolitionist warrior! I have a lot of respect for you! So, I don't think you need to do something despicable, such as ......" Eleanor glanced at Li Mengyang, the meaning of which was already very clear, this is a pain for John Brown not to preach morality, but she hasn't finished yet, "Mr. John Brown!" I know where you're going this time! ”

"Huh?"

Not only John Brown, but almost everyone was surprised, and so was Li Mengyang, because he didn't know John Brown's plan, the old guy just said that Li Mengyang would wait for him here, and then everyone would make the next plan, and the reason why Eleanor appeared here must have eavesdropped on his conversation with John Brown.

"Hah! So where are we going? John Brown laughed again.

"Quite simply, you're going to the Hubs Ferry!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Eleanor's words came out, John Brown's smile immediately froze!

"......" Li Mengyang was only shocked now, because looking at John Brown's face, he knew that Eleanor was right, but this is too exaggerated, right? Li Mengyang admits that Eleanor is smart, but can she be smart enough to be that smart?

Eleanor continued, "You must be very strange, why do I know your destination?" ”

Everyone nodded, and so did Li Mengyang.

"Hehe......" Eleanor smiled lightly, and continued, "It's very simple, because you meet in this place, so if you want to do something big, such as emancipating some black slaves, then at least you have to go to the south, the south is Virginia, and there, you guys who are not familiar with the land obviously can't go to the big towns to do any tricks, then you can only go to the place that is most beneficial to you." The Hubs Ferry, where the Shenandoya River meets the Potomac River, has an arsenal, and it's a small town, and it's a small population, and there's all the black slaves you want. It's a convenient place to supply your weapons, and it's not a big town in peacetime, the garrison is very weak, and that location is the border between Maryland and Virginia, not far from Washington, you can have everything you want, if it were me, I would definitely choose there. ”

I have to say that this reasoning is absolutely very reasonable, and in Li Mengyang's view, this is completely comparable to Sherlock Holmes and Edogawa Conan.

"Papapa......" John Brown applauded, "Little girl, I have to admit, you are really smart......" The applause was applause, but the old fellow turned his gun at this point and aimed it at Eleanor!

"Hey! What are you doing? Li Mengyang first reacted to this move.

"I can't let my plans leak!" John Brown said he was ruthless enough to pull the hammer off his revolver.

"Mr. John Brown! Are you going to kill a devout believer now, and someone who fully supports you? Eleanor's face remained unchanged, she was bold enough.

"Why did you know about my plan?" That's what John Brown wants to know most.

"It's simple, because I'm a Virginian!" Eleanor smiled.

Well, the answer was revealed, which did not seem surprising at all, for only in this way could Eleanor's reasoning, which she knew well with her homeland, be explained.

"Okay." John Brown directed the hammer, "But I still want more people." ”

Eleanor's chin was raised, "Sir, please don't be too greedy, there are already two people here on our side, and they are the two most elite people, I am still a local, when I get there, I can help you find more helpers, isn't this better than some useless guys?" ”

"......" John Brown's face changed several times, as if he was thinking, and after a while, "Okay, I accept your proposal!" ”

As a result, our army of emancipated slaves has one more female member.

"Why follow me?" Li Mengyang couldn't stop Eleanor from joining just now, because it was of her own free will, and John Brown's gang was the current one in charge. So, Li Mengyang had no choice but to ride a horse, parallel to Eleanor, and then ask.

"I'm supporting the emancipation of black slaves!" Eleanor didn't squint and didn't look at Li Mengyang.

Very good, to be honest, Li Mengyang knew that it would be this answer, but in fact, his heart was really moved, this girl's heart for himself, he really felt it!

In fact, very early, Li Mengyang could see Eleanor's intentions, he was not an iron-hearted man, maybe he was still an idiot in terms of feelings before, but after experiencing all kinds of Huang Rong's sisters, he has already opened up a little, although he is not a veteran in the love field, but Eleanor is so innocent and silly in love, how can he not understand?

But it is precisely because of Huang Rong's sister that Li Mengyang has never wanted to face this relationship, not to mention, he is Chinese, and Eleanor is white...... Li Mengyang doesn't have a deep racial concept, but the current society is like this, there is this kind of racial barrier, and the Chinese workers all return to China to marry wives or buy brides.

But now, people have put themselves in danger like this, so what should Li Mengyang do?

Eleanor also knew that she was stupid, but when she overheard Li Mengyang's conversation with John Brown, and later, Li Mengyang actually said that he wanted to go alone, she couldn't sit still, she really couldn't sit still!

John Brown is doing Eleanor knows very well, and his style of action Eleanor also knows very well, when he was in Kansas, this old man was prone to murder, and now, he wants to make a bigger plan, and the dead man is probably indispensable.

And what does the staging ground mean about this place in Maryland near Virginia?

Eleanor was really a Virginian, and she knew at once what John Brown was going to do, because she was also familiar with the Hubs Ferry, and there was no garrison in this small place, although there was an arsenal here, but Eleanor knew the details of this place.

However, this place is also very close to Washington, so even if the US military is unbearable at this time, they can pounce as fast as they can, and then ......

Li Mengyang must be very dangerous, and this idiot himself doesn't know what will happen!

Eleanor felt scared, she was afraid of losing Li Mengyang, and this thought made her even more afraid, because she already knew that she was really in love with this stupid person!

Maybe this idiot doesn't know yet, he must not know, otherwise how would he hook up with that French beauty?

But Eleanor intended to take risks for the sake of her loved ones...... But what's interesting is that she doesn't want to pretend to Li Mengyang, because she doesn't want this idiot to know that she loves him, like this, like this...... Eleanor felt humiliated.

A woman's mind is sometimes very strange, especially a woman in love, especially a woman in love with little experience......

John Brown's team now has two more people, and as Eleanor said, he is going to launch an uprising this time, occupy the Hubbars Ferry, free the black slaves there, and let the whole of America know the power of our abolitionists!

With this as a start, John Brown wanted to carry out a great abolitionist revolution that swept the whole of America!

John Brown had to do this, because the Southern slave owners were too powerful and arrogant at this time.

Li Mengyang knows that those guys are arrogant, that is, in the east, you can call abolitionism, but if you dare to really help the black slaves and help them escape, then you will be punished by American law!

It was at this time that the law of the United States was in favor of slave owners, and the most notable example was the Scott v. Sunford case in 1857, the result of which was that Dred Scott, a slave who had been living a small life in a free state and whose masters had died, was not allowed to be free in the end.

In short, the reality of the current abolitionist movement in the United States is that don't look at the abolitionists' shouts, but there is really not much they can do, on the contrary, the slave owners often have practical actions, and many abolitionists have been sent to prison through the law, these are all news, and Li Mengyang naturally knows it.

Against this backdrop, John Brown really had no choice but to riot, a devout man who swore before the cross and dedicated his life to the cause of freeing slaves!

Since the law does not help us, we are the only ones who help us......

It's just that this group didn't go directly to the Harbour Ferry, they came to a farm in Maryland, and the owner of this farm was surnamed Kennedy......
