Shortly after the refinery's convoy left, another team departed from Roswell.

Compared with the long and bulky transport team in front, this team is much lighter.

A procession of twenty or so horses marched in a formation that looked relatively loose.

They didn't go full throttle, but kept a two- to three-hour distance from the refinery's convoy.

At the front of the line was Chen Jianqiu, who was riding a black radish, and he was wearing a dark red light coat; Beside him was Camilla, who was wearing a dress of the same color as him, and on her back was Sharpe, wrapped in layers of thick cloth.

Behind them was Li Sifu, a young man who was dressed almost exactly like Chen Jianqiu.

Next up are Asuka and Sean in overalls.

Unlike usual, Sean didn't open his broken mouth, he just looked at the corn circling in the distant sky;

Abiot and Hanif didn't have a bicker, they were each checking their weapons; Mr. and Mrs. Danny and their son, Hawley, followed by the family of three.

Further behind were a dozen or so Chinese, all armed with the latest repeating rifles brought by Browning, with revolvers at their waists.

Chen Jianqiu also equipped them with large knives, but because they needed to keep a low profile, they were sheathed, wrapped in cloth and hung next to the saddle.

"Sifu, who are we in the transport team in front?" Chen Jianqiu turned his head and asked.

"Third Uncle Niu, they're here." Li Sifu replied.

The earliest group of Zhang Danian's subordinates were all his old subordinates over there, who had shaved their heads and Li Zhongtang's soldiers to the death.

And those people, part of them were in the convoy of the oil refinery in front, and the other part was among the dozen or so Chinese.

And the rest have also rotated in the gun shop, and they have done it with real knives and guns with the endless gangs around Montrose.

Chen Jianqiu never gave up training them to shoot with guns.

Zhang Danian once sighed that if there were these guns back then, his brothers would not have died so much.

Chen Jianqiu raised his hand again and snapped his fingers at the flying bird.

The bird patted the horse and came to Chen Jianqiu.

"Gatling who sent Thiago a few days ago?"

"The day I received your order, I set off." Asuka looked worried, "I'm still a little worried. ”

"Don't worry, that guy will turn back sooner or later, but not now." Chen Jianqiu knew what Asuka was worried about, "Go ahead, you keep an eye on the front, come back and tell me if there is any situation." ”

Asuka nodded, pulled the reins, and patted the horse away.

Four days later in the evening.

Chen Jianqiu's team appeared on the edge of a grove of trees outside Lincolnshire.

He looked up at the corn circling over Lincolnshire and said to himself, "Looks like these guys are already in Lincolnshire." ”

Chen Jianqiu raised his hand to the team behind him and motioned for the team to stop.

"Boss, aren't we going into town?" Sean asked from behind him.

"No." Chen Jianqiu turned over and dismounted.

"Then don't we go to Uncle Sun's?" This time it was Li Sifu asking.

After all, Chen Jianqiu now has a lot of land around Lincolnshire, including some pastures and farms.

The closest farm to here is what Li Sifu said about Uncle Sun and some people taking care of Chen Jianqiu.

"I'm not going either." Chen Jianqiu took out a note from his saddle bag and handed it to Li Sifu, "You're fine, let him send some supplies, be fast, the smaller the movement, the better." ”

"We're camping with you, and if nothing else, they'll continue their journey tomorrow, and we'll have to follow immediately." "Of course, they may also set off in the middle of the night. ”

They found a leeward place to set up camp.

From Chen Jianqiu to those Chinese, they all slept in clothes.

In the western wilderness, you can't sleep too hard, not even twenty or so men with guns.

Uncle Sun's supplies arrived in the early hours of the morning, and along with Uncle Sun's supplies, it was a bird riding a horse.

"Boss! Here they go! The bird said to Chen Jianqiu, who came out of the tent when he heard the sound.

"Did they find you?" Chen Jianqiu took some jerky from the supply truck sent by Uncle Sun and put them in his saddle bag.

"No, I entered the town in the dark." Asuka affirmed, "I was watching them from the roof across from the hotel where they were staying, and I heard a noise from the other side before dawn. ”

"Which way to go?" Chen Jianqiu asked unhurriedly.

The road from Roswell to Albuquerque diverged as it left Lincolnshire.

One, the path Meyer first chose, was stolen.

The other, the one that the birds had taken them on, took the Blanca hill and was robbed.

Chen Jianqiu was curious about which path they would choose.

However, Asuka's expression suddenly became very strange:

"They're split into two teams."

"Two teams?" Chen Jianqiu touched his chin. The members who were preparing drinking water and dry food next to them were also puzzled.

Divide into two teams, eggs are not put in one basket, reduce losses? How can it be?

Not to mention whether Meyer could tolerate this kind of thing, it was completely unnecessary to escort so many armed men.

"How are their teams divided, have you seen them?" Chen Jianqiu raised his head and asked Flying Bird.

"Meyer with one team, and Lynch and Pinkerton detectives with another." Although it was just getting light, the birds could see it clearly.

"How's the armament?" Chen Jianqiu continued to ask.

"Meyer's team was weaker, with a few detectives following, while Lynch and all the other Pinkerton detectives were almost on the other team."

"Could it be that you are making an empty plan?" Li Sifu put forward his opinion, "Is there a possibility that the tanker truck on Lynch's side is empty." ”

When he was a child, he followed his grandfather to watch this Peking Opera, and Zhuge Kongming played the piano upstairs and pretended to be defenseless, but scared away Sima Yi downstairs.

Chen Jianqiu was silent.

The weakest defenses are often the best barriers.

This possibility is not ruled out.

"I have a solution." Abiot on the side suddenly spoke, "We might as well split up with Thiago's soldiers and rob one way each." ”

Chen Jianqiu still didn't speak.

"I don't think so, whoever touches Lynch's side is all hard bones, and there is no certainty of victory." Hanif objected, adhering to the spirit that as long as Abiot proposed it, he would lift the bar.

"Then let Thiago fill in the hole." Abiot rolled his eyes.

"No, Thiago went to touch that side, whether he could beat it or not, even if he did, what would happen to the Chinese workers in those teams?" Hanif stalked his neck and didn't give up.

"What do you think?" Chen Jianqiu suddenly looked at Danny.

"You can also gamble." Danny thought for a moment and said, "Stud Lynch's side, or the big one here, or Meyer's side, Isuka and I can just bring a few people over." ”

"That seems like a good idea." Hanif and Abiot both nodded.

Chen Jianqiu thought for a moment and did not give an order.

He went to the side of the black turnip, straightened his saddle, and turned back to the group and asked, "Are the food and water ready?" ”

Everyone nodded.

"That's all on board! Ready to go. Chen Jianqiu waved his hand at everyone, "The specific situation must be analyzed at the scene." ”

"Take a detour through Lincolnshire and take a look on both roads."

The morning light was slightly dewed, and a group of horses galloped on the plain outside the town under the morning light, leaving the sound of horses' hooves, stepping through the silence of dawn.

"It's here!" The bird leading the way suddenly grabbed the reins and pointed to a row of rutted marks in front of him, "This is the new road, that is, the one I took them on, and now it is the direction in which Lynch and them are going." ”

Chen Jianqiu and the others stopped the horse.

Chen Jianqiu jumped off his horse, walked to the side of the road, squatted down, and carefully observed the rut marks on the ground.

Then he rolled over and got on his horse.

"Another way."

The other road was almost the same, covered with dense rut marks.

Chen Jianqiu reached over and used his knuckles to compare the depth of the rut marks.

It's much shallower than the previous road.

He stood up, patted the ash from his hands, and a subtle smile appeared on his face.

"What empty city plan?" Chen Jianqiu shook his head, "It's completely taking off your pants and farting." ”

Chen Jianqiu got back on the horse, pointed to the previous road, and said to Asuka and the others:

"The first way, go, birds, hurry up and inform Thiago, the first way, wait for them!"
