"Young man, I think we have to talk about it, and we will never compromise. The farmer expressed his toughness to Downing.

"Sorry, don't get me wrong, that's just rhetoric, I just wanted to tell you about their new plans. "Downing was honest with him. "They have rejected the war plan, hoping to find your boss and hire bounty hunters to settle the matter. ”

The farmer and the rest of the people who came to watch were stunned. "What are you doing this for? You can stay out of this fight. ”

"Well, I know a girl in your town, if that's any reason. Downing explained to those present.

Everyone burst into laughter, and the farmer was not at all surprised. "It's no surprise that girls in County Newell have always been targeted by young people. "Apparently they believed each other. "Tell me which good girl it is. ”

"Sorry, she didn't tell me her name. Tang Ning smiled awkwardly.

The farmer patted the young man on the shoulder. "Young man, you have to be brave, and you can't back down in the face of love. ”

"Thanks for the advice, but let's get down to business. Downing put aside the topic as a justification for the time being. "I hope you can tell me about your chief, so that I can tell the bankers to give up the war completely, I don't think you want your homes to be scorched earth, I know you are not afraid of war, but your families are innocent and they don't deserve the ravages of war. ”

"But we will not sell our heads in exchange for temporary peace. The farmer refused.

"I don't think you understand, I mean when I see your leader, I can get back to there, and they'll ask for a bounty hunter, and it's much easier to deal with a bounty hunter than with an army. Tang Ning explained to the other party. "You could even make that bounty hunter your helper and take care of the damn bankers for you. ”

"But we don't have that much money for that bounty hunter to change sides, and you know the bankers have a lot of money. The farmer spread his hands. "Now our business has been disrupted, and we are even living a little bit struggling. ”

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it, if you believe me. "Downing took out a hundred thousand Caesars. "This is my margin. ”

One hundred thousand caesars is not much for the bankers, but it is a huge sum for these farmers, and the farmer pondered for a moment. "You can tell you're serious, but before that you have to show some sincerity. ”

"Well, how about I stay here and let my coachman deliver the letter for them?"

"Deal. ”

Gerard drove his carriage alone to the town of Liszt, where he met the bankers. "I'm sorry, guys, my employer has been held by them, and he has to do it in order to gain their trust, this is their leader's message. Gerald handed over a letter as Downing had explained.

The bankers opened the envelopes and looked at the names and addresses of several people.

"Is that kid trustworthy?" someone asked.

"Try it, it's just an extra killer's money for us, and it would be nice if it could solve the problem. Someone responded.

"What kind of bounty hunter can be trusted?"

"I've got a guy who does a lot in Newell County. ”

Downing was taken to a farm house, where he met the leader, a bearded farmer. "Young man, I heard that you are willing to solve problems for us. ”

"But you'll have to find me a girl, about twenty-six according to what I said," Downing made a request to the other man, and Uncle Soluk had told him what Javier Bent's daughter looked like, and that the bounty hunter's daughter should be that old by now.

The farmer looked in the direction of the bedroom, and a girl came out. "You ought to see my daughter. ”

The girl greeted the young man. "Mr. Downing, we meet again. ”

The girl was the farmer's daughter, and Downing stood up and took off his hat and saluted. "Great, I think the rest will be easy to solve, but you'll have to tell a lie, a white lie. ”

"I'll do as you say, and before I do that, Linda Carroll. The girl introduced herself to Downing.

The farmer looked at the two young men and shrugged his shoulders. "Looks like you know, I think I'm a superfluous person, maybe I should go out and see my crops. ”

When the farmer left, Linda sat down in front of Downing with a lovely smile. "Now let's say, why help us, those uncles say you're for a girl, but I think that's unlikely, love is precious, but it's not as good as life. ”

Clever girl, Downing can feel it from the first contact with the girl. "Well, I'll have to find that bounty hunter, but my abilities are limited, and those bankers' connections are useful. ”

Downing had no interest in interfering in the war between the bankers and the farmer, but needed someone to find Javier Bent's traces on his behalf, and the local bankers were obviously more well-connected than his own aimless search, and they would find Javier Bent to do this, and Downing could send an invitation to Javier Bent, and everything would be logical.

"So you tell us about the bankers' plans just to gain our trust, to meet my father, the central figure in this confrontation, and then tell the bankers about this information, so that they can get the bounty hunter to come and solve the problem. The girl took care of her hair.

"Well, that's pretty much right. Tang Ning confessed frankly.

"Confess this to me, and it means that you already have a way to save my father, right? "Girls are like prophets.

"As I said, the trick is in the girl, and you should be the girl. Tangning stared at the girl in front of him, her pupils as flawless as sapphires. "The bounty hunter has lost his daughter, and he's been trying to find it. "He told a lot about the bounty hunter's daughter.

"But he doesn't necessarily think I'm his daughter, and even if he cheats on him and reveals the secret, he'll take revenge on us. ”

"I never intended to lie to that bounty hunter, sorry, the key to changing things is up to you, and the smart girl will understand. Downing quickly ended the conversation, if it had been before, he would not have given advice to the girl and the farmer, but now he had changed and given a reminder to see if the girl could understand.

In the evening, someone arrived, and there was a knock on the door, and Downing looked at the others in the room, all of them fully armed.

"Listen to me, you have no chance of winning against him, lay down your arms, otherwise the situation may be very bad. "Downing has to get these guys to disarm their threat to the coming.

These farmers heard the young man's confession from the girl, so they didn't trust the young man very much, and even tried to kill the young man, but they were stopped by the girl.

Linda motioned to everyone. "No problem, listen to him. ”

Everyone was temporarily disarmed, and they all went into hiding, leaving only Linda's family, including the lead farmer, and his daughter, and his wife, plus Downing.

The door was opened, and there was an old man with a snow-white beard, dressed as a cowboy, holding a horsewhip in his hand, and a dozen horses outside the door, whose ropes were attached to the supporting pillars in front of the house.

As soon as someone moved, the old man would wave his whip and make a noise, and the frightened horses would gallop, and the house would collapse, and everyone in the house would die.

Seeing the young man, the old man took off his hat and saluted. "Is this Terry Carroll's home?"

"Of course, we've been waiting for a long time, Mr. Javier Bent, come in. Tang Ning stepped out of the way and motioned for the old man to come in.

The old man had a rope tied around his waist and the other end attached to the horses, and he motioned not to close the door. "It was a bit hot and breathable. ”

Downing let go of his hand. "As you wish. ”

When he got to the house and sat down, the old man was cautious, for fear of alarming the horses, and took a glass of martini and drank it down. "You are waiting for me, and know my name, so you already know that I will come, Mr. Terry Carroll, and I am employed by those bankers to take your life. He looked at the only old man in the room and told him what he was coming for.

"Well, don't mind having a meal with our family until then. Linda got up, came over to refill a glass of wine, and made a request.

Javier Bent looked at the girl, her eyes smiling, and the jewelry made of red ribbons on her wrists, with a bell on them. "Lovely girl, my daughter should be the same age as you if she is still here. ”

"Then you will treat me as your daughter, and at least I will call you father until the end of this meal. Linda took the young man's reminder, and she made up a strip of jewelry on the wrist of the little girl that the young man described as she said, and combed the same hairstyle as Javier Bant's daughter had before she went missing.

The dinner went on as normal, Linda's family and Javier Bent talked a lot about his daughter, and Linda kept her promise to call him father, and Downing became a bystander.

When the meal was over and the atmosphere became tense, Linda got up and looked at the bounty hunter in front of her, her eyes revealing pleading.

Javier Bent untied the rope from his waist and walked over to Linda, stroking the girl's cheek. "It's too similar, maybe you should live a peaceful life with your family. ”

Now that Javier Bent has changed his mind, Linda breathes a sigh of relief.

Downing got up. "Mr. Javier Bent, if Hendwell Carter can be trusted, you should have seen your daughter by now. ”

Javier Bent's face was a little shocked, staring at the young man. "Who are you?"

"I'm sorry, you don't have to know who I am, if I had a way to let you see your daughter in advance, would you accept my invitation to complete the task I gave you. Tang Ning took out a bill of exchange and handed it to the other party.

"Kill the bankers?" Javier Bent frowned.
