Chapter 20: The Death of Little Edward

Lieutenant Edward had been circling the circle with his troops for a long time before receiving the telegram from Morris, and he had been to this place, and he knew that by bypassing the cliff ahead, he would find his large force.

It is important to save his life first, that Chinese is too powerful, and that horse is also like a ghost, one person and one horse solved his three subordinates in an instant.

Damn Indians, damn Chinese, damn blacks, damn Morris, if he doesn't kill Old Robert, the treasure map won't be robbed, if the treasure map isn't robbed, he won't run to spoil my good deeds, he can meet with the troops just now, and if he and the troops converge, will he be afraid of these worms?

So everything is Morris's fault.

Edward continued to curse with his own unique logic, and he really didn't know how Morris, lying on his back in the woods with a dagger in his head, would feel when he knew it.

But the sound of bullets whistling interrupted his thoughts, and Edward didn't need to look back to know that Chen Jianqiu was catching up behind him.

He didn't dare to fight back, so he kicked his crotch with his legs and dismounted, and the horse was in pain and ran forward desperately.

Another gunshot rang out, and the lieutenant suddenly felt that he had been bitten by something in the arm, and when he looked down, he was shot.

Chen Jianqiu tried to shoot the remaining bullets in the magazine again, but they didn't hit, his marksmanship was already sparse, not to mention that he was still on horseback.

Although the accuracy was almost meaningless, it had already made the wounded lieutenant very anxious. In a hurry, he fired a few shots indiscriminately in the back, all of which were crooked.

But this slowed down Chen Jianqiu's pursuit, and the distance between the two did not close for a while.

The two men and two horses chased to the bottom of the cliff, and around the cliff, they were almost about to reach the mountain stream.

The lieutenant raised his gun and fired three shots, which was a communication signal from the cavalry unit that he was in trouble.

Sure enough, after a while, the sound of horses' hooves came from the side of the mountain stream.

At this time, the lieutenant was not panicked at all, and he even wanted to maneuver with the Chinese under the cliff and drag his large army to come.

Until, when he looked up, he saw two figures on the top of the cliff.

An Indian with a longbow in his hand stood in the wind, while a white man, whole in binding, fell to his knees in front of him, weeping in pain.

The Indian was the bird, and the white man was his son, Edward Jr.

"Spare me, spare me." Little Edward lowered his head and tried to get close to the bird's leg like a dog, begging for mercy.

But when he saw his father at the bottom of the cliff, he was suddenly overjoyed, and cried out frantically: "Help me! Father! I'm here! Hurry up and save me! ”

When the lieutenant saw this scene, he couldn't help but be angry, and his forehead was bruised, and he even forgot that there was another person chasing after him.

He raised his hand just as he wanted to speak.

But his posture quickly froze.

A feathered arrow burst through the air, piercing him directly through the shoulder.

Unlike the last time in Shiquan Town, this time Asuka didn't say anything, his movements were decisive and fast, and his eyes were as firm as iron.

Blood oozed from the wound on his shoulder again, but Asuka ignored it completely, and he pulled out the Indian tomahawk.

The lieutenant who had been hit by the arrow felt pain in his bones, and he held on to prevent himself from falling off his horse, and looked up at Ya Shang.

But the next scene he saw made his heart feel like ashes.

The blade of the tomahawk slashed through little Edward's throat, creating a large gap, blood gushing out of the wound, and little Edward rolled his eyes with a clattering sound in his throat.

Asuka didn't let him suffer for long, but kicked him off the cliff. Little Edward's body fell to the bottom of the cliff after falling for some time, and blood was all around.

"I'll kill you! I'll kill you! "Old Edward had gone mad, and he shot the remaining bullets from his gun at the top of the cliff, and tried to break the feathered arrow, and ran to the cliff, killing the bird.

But the people behind him wouldn't give him this chance, Chen Jianqiu had already caught up, he took out the lasso in the saddle bag, directly put it on the lieutenant, and dragged him off the horse with one force.

The lieutenant fell heavily to the ground, and Chen Jianqiu swept over his horse, leaning over and lifting it with one hand. He didn't want to drag Edward to death for the time being, it was too cheap for him.

When he threw the lieutenant on his horse, he found that the man had fallen into a coma, but he had tied it up and thrown it behind the horse.

By this time, the adjutant had already led the remaining soldiers to the cliff, and when he saw that his commander was tied to his horse, he hastened to give the order for pursuit.

Some of the soldiers wanted to shoot directly, but he stopped: "Don't hurt the lieutenant, the lieutenant is still on his horse." ”

Chen Jianqiu glanced at the galloping cavalry, and then at the top of the cliff.

The bird is gone, so it should have retreated.

The appearance of Asuka was something he did not expect, and he did not have it in his plan, but Asuka not only appeared, but the effect was good.

He didn't think much about it, and directly pinched the belly of the black radish.

The black radish ran for a long time, but without a trace of fatigue, raised its hooves, and ran towards the mountain at a gallop.

After chasing for a while, the adjutant found it almost impossible to catch up with the dark horse in front of him, who was carrying two men and was faster than all of them.

Chen Jianqiu and his black radish quickly disappeared from everyone's field of vision.

The adjutant has a headache now, he was originally just an adjutant in charge of chores next to Lieutenant Edward, and he usually listened to the old Edward and the little Edward, but now, both of them are gone, and the soldiers behind him are all looking at him with blank eyes.

Just as he was considering whether to go into the mountains to search now, a herald suddenly ran up in a panic and reported: "Long... Sir, one of the two brothers we left in the camp died, and the rest of us ran to say that our camp had been burned. ”

The adjutant was shocked, he had no experience in dealing with this situation at all, and now he was in a position to retreat and did not know what to do.

"Sir, if you don't go back, the camp will be gone!" The soldier's voice woke him up.

"Withdraw!" The adjutant gritted his teeth and gave the order.

A group of people turned their horses' heads, and the rear team was in front of the front, and they retreated.

Chen Jianqiu drove the black radish for a stretch of mountain road, and found that he didn't follow behind, knowing that Sean had succeeded nine times out of ten.

He slowed down, turned his head to look at the lieutenant tied to his back, and saw that there was still air, so he headed in the direction of the cave.

By the time he reached the cave, Asuka was already waiting for him there.

"Are your injuries alright?" Chen Jianqiu took the lieutenant off his horse and threw him in a corner of the cave, "You come and deal with him, I'll go pick up Sean." ”

"Hehe, no, I've arrived safely."

Sean and his horse appeared at the entrance to the cave, and behind him, sat the old Indian.

"Mom!" Asuka was overjoyed when he saw the old man, and he rushed forward to help his mother off his horse.

"I had to untie the rope first, and I was afraid that she would fall off along the way, so I found a rope to tie us up." Sean said as he untied the rope.

Chen Jianqiu directly cut the rope with an axe, took Sean off the horse, and gave him a big hug.

"Hey, boss, you know what, my leg almost broke this night and the day." Sean stretched.

After the explosion in the mountain stream, Edward's troops exchanged fire with Morris's hired gunners, and Sean found an opportunity to sneak out and head straight for the cavalrymen's camp.

When he arrived at the camp, he found that there were only two soldiers in the camp, sitting on the edge of the camp and talking. One of them was injured in the same hand.

This made Sean much easier, not only did he rescue Asuka's mother, but he also "visited" Edward's big tent and set a fire to the camp by the way.

With the help of the valley wind, the fire was fierce, and the two soldiers left behind were busy fighting the fire with shouts.

So the bullets flew from behind, and the soldier with the wound in his hand fell directly into the fire, and the other soldier ran like a frightened bird to report the news.

"Worthy of my dear friend." Chen Jianqiu hugged Sean's shoulders and said numbly.

"Boss, guess what I found in Edward's tent." Sean reached into his pocket.

He pulled out two gold bars.

"Looks like we can update some gear." Chen Jianqiu touched his chin.
