The two cowboys are not stupid, otherwise they wouldn't have said a word just now, and Sam would have been in charge.

The boss of the dark road does have money and is willing to spend it.

In the hearts of the two of them, the lives of the three Marcus brothers, $30,000, is enough for people to kill the three brothers.

But the new boss spent more than 200,000 yuan before and after.

But the effect is also excellent, at least the cowboys of Tucker Ranch will never dare to betray Chu Xiangqian in the future.

As for the people in the town, basically no one dares to provoke Chu Qian.

——

What Sam and the three of them didn't know was that all this had already been seen clearly by Chu Qian through the.

I couldn't help but pay attention to Sam in my heart.

Then I vaguely felt that Maria, the chick, could maintain Tucker's ranch and not be swallowed by outsiders.

And Tucker Ranch has received a stable income every year in the past few years, which should have a lot to do with Sam and the 7 cowboys of Tucker Ranch.

Secretly said that he could rest assured that he would hand over the Tucker Ranch to Sam and 7 cowboys to take care of.

At around 11 o'clock in the evening, Chu Xiangqian heard a knock on the door and pretended to be woken up.

kissed Xiao Lan'er on the face, said it was okay, and then got up and went to open the door.

"Forward, Simon takes Sam and says there is something important."

Chu Xiangqian nodded at Lao Jiang, who took the initiative to enter the role of the night watchman after coming to the ranch.

"It's hard work, Uncle Jiang, when the people from Hong Kong Island come over, you don't have to work so hard."

Old Jiang shook his head, "That's all my old bones do." And people are old, and they don't sleep much. ”

Chu Xiangqian didn't argue with Lao Jiang.

If he really wants to do nothing, just enjoy the blessings, Lao Jiang and the master palace chief celebrate, and there is a glimmer of heaven may be even more uncomfortable.

Chu Qianqian pretended to be embarrassed and thought about it, "Then I'll let Da Zhuang and Hongniu follow you at night, there are two hunting dogs, and you don't have to work so hard when you're old." ”

After hearing this, Lao Jiang immediately smiled.

In the final analysis, in Lao Jiang's heart, Chu Xiangqian has no need and obligation to provide for his old age.

So while you can still move, help Chu forward more, and in the future, when the old man can't walk, he can eat and drink him with peace of mind.

Moreover, when Lao Jiang has guarded the two generations of the palace family's father and daughter for half his life, he has already regarded Chu Xiangqian as the third generation who needs to be guarded.

If you don't let him do things, it will only take three or five years to keep it up, and he will be too old to walk.

On the contrary, let him continue to shine, and it is not impossible to live for another twenty or thirty years.

At the end of the day, people still have to have hope and a sense of existence.

If Lao Jiang really had been by Chu Xiangqian's side for twenty or thirty years, or even only 10 years, then he would definitely treat Lao Jiang as a relative.

——

When I went downstairs, I saw Simon and Sam, and two cowboys all standing in the living room.

Let the four of them sit down, and Lao Jiang also took the initiative to pour tea for Simon and Chu Qianqian.

Then he went out and kept watch at the door, so that no one would disturb him.

A few minutes later, Chu Xiangqian listened to Sam's report and said to Simon with a smile, "In the future, Tucker Ranch will be handed over to Sam and 7 cowboys to take care of."

As the head of the cowboys, you manage the three groups of Sam, Hans, and Horner, and you have to treat everyone equally. ”

Simon was stunned for a moment, and then nodded hurriedly, this time it is really certain that he has become the third person in the big ranch.

Sam and the three were naturally overjoyed, knowing that they and the others were accepted by the new boss.

Chu Xiangqian continued, "In the future, Sam's salary will be the same as Hans and Horner. The wages and benefits of the third group of cowboys in Tucker Ranch will be the same as those of the first and second groups. ”

After speaking, in the continuous thanks of the three Sams, Chu Xiangqian said 'wait a minute', and then went upstairs and took out $30,000 from the warehouse in the novice village.

Went downstairs and threw it to Sam Three, "It's too late, I have to get up early tomorrow to work, and go back to bed early."

As for Big Marcus, he won't have to look for it tomorrow.

My men have found out where the guy is hiding.

But I didn't let my people do it, but I planned to use Big Marcus's life to tell everyone in the town and the people of Santa Barbara that there was money to do things for me.

Against me, I don't mind spending more money than their lives to buy their lives. ”

Simon, Sam, and the two cowboys tightened.

One is to realize that the boss is not just his own cowboy men.

The second is to realize that the boss's subordinates are definitely masters, and they should be in Santa Barbara County or Los Angeles.

Otherwise, how could he have rushed to the ranch in one day and gone into the mountains to find Big Marcus, who had fled into the mountains at 6 p.m.

However, Simon thought about Margaret's identity, and soon determined that it was normal for the boss to have some powerful subordinates, and there was no need to coax himself and others.

Simon hurriedly got up, said goodnight to Chu Qianqian, and left with Sam and the three.

Out of the big house, I said hello to Lao Jiang again.

After leaving, Simon thought for a moment, pulled Sam and the three of them and said, "Last month, the Los Angeles flour merchant had a conflict with the ranch because of the canyon north of the ranch.

There were only three people around the boss, and he killed more than a dozen gangsters who entered the manor in the dark. Do you understand? ”

Simon didn't tell the truth, and took the initiative to hide the fact that Chu Xiangqian was also a master.

But what this sounds like to Sam and the two cowboys is that the new boss not only has other weapons under him, but all of them are masters.

The two cowboys who had just received a reward of $20,000 immediately put away the excitement in their hearts.

Then he took the initiative to make up for it, Chu Xiangqian's subordinates should all be there, or the kind in the movie, one can kill 10 super masters.

Sam nodded, "Don't worry, it's not like you don't know, I just want to live a peaceful life now." ”

Simon knows what Sam means, this guy is also a person with a wife and children, a stable income, and a familiar working environment are what he values most.

Otherwise, maybe a few years ago, the three Marcus brothers would not have been kicked out of town, but buried somewhere.

But this time the three Marcus brothers came back to take revenge, which also made Sam realize that he was wrong.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have told the forest rancher to go into the mountains at 5 a.m. to hunt down Big Marcus.

In order to make up for his original mistakes.

Simon rode his horse and sent the Sams to the ranch gate, watching them ride back to Tucker's ranch.

But I secretly thought in my heart that when Sam was young, he was a member of the 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment.

It was fought in Normandy for 33 days.

After that, he fought for 72 days in the town of Best, and left the front line only because of his wounds.

When he recovered from his wounds, he was lucky enough to miss some of the bloodiest and most tragic battles of the Battle of Bastogne.

Otherwise, they may not be able to make it back to the town alive.

He then took part in the last capture of Berchtesgaden and was stationed in Berchtesgaden until the end of the war.

Probably because the battle he participated in was too bloody, after this guy came back, he became soft-hearted.

And he never told anyone about his experience on the battlefields of Europe.

But the medal can't deceive people, and as soon as someone inquires, just the 101st Airborne Division let people know what he experienced back then.

If Chu Xiangqian knew that among his cowboys, there were actually people from the 101st Airborne Division, he would definitely give Sam a thumbs up.

However, the 501st Airborne Regiment was not the direct unit of the Airborne Division at the beginning, but the third Airborne Regiment that the Airborne Division joined after it entered England.

——

Chu Xiangqian returned to his bedroom and saw that Xiao Lan'er had fallen asleep again, and his heart moved.

Turned around and went to Minato's room.

Easily opened the door with two wires, and the dazed Hong Kong students who were sleeping felt that someone was lying next to them.

Fortunately, hearing Chu Xiangqian's voice in her ears, the little girl screamed without fright.

Not long after, a whispering voice came from the room.

While he slept until dawn with his arms in his arms, the chickadees kept staring, hiding in a cave next to a cliff in the middle of a high mountain in the mountains.

If it weren't for this guy hiding in a cave, it would have taken a lot of effort for the to find him in the woods in the mountains.

However, Marcus chose to spend the night here, not only to avoid wild beasts, but also because it is easy to see the surroundings from the cliffs.

If someone is carrying a torch or carrying a flashlight up the hill, it is difficult to avoid his eyes.

And lying on the cliff, you can also condescendingly shoot the pursuers.

After Chu Xiangqian woke up, he focused on the and saw Marcus lying on the cliff, constantly scanning the distance.

It seems that this is to find a way out and at the same time determine if someone has gone into the mountains to search for him.

It's just that what Marcus didn't expect was that the Forest Ranch side because Sam said last night that he would gather at 5 o'clock.

But wait, wait, wait, wait until 6 o'clock, I didn't see Sam and his people, so I could only call and ask.

This delay dragged on until more than 7 o'clock before starting to enter the mountain.

It was a perfect avoidance, and after dawn, Marcus who lay on the cliff and stared down the mountain for nearly an hour.

And the rest of the town, the early departure, was already around 6 o'clock, entering the mountain from the other direction of the town.

Then the experienced hunter naturally knew that since Marcus had fled into the mountains from the forest pasture and wanted to find his whereabouts, he naturally had to go to the mountains and forests on the other side of the forest pasture.

There were a few teams of people who deliberately let the dogs bark non-stop.

The purpose is to startle the snake, and as long as Marcus starts to escape, he will definitely leave a clue.

On the contrary, he hid in an extremely hidden place, and it was not so easy to spot him without the dog smelling him beforehand.

The barking of dogs made Marcus realize that the cliff he was hiding couldn't last long.

I could only pick up the gun and flee into the mountains in hatred.

But what Marcus never imagined was that someone knew that he was not good at tracking, and he might not be able to find him when he entered the mountain, but he was easy to be ambushed.

Just wait for the lower passes in the surrounding mountains.

At around 9 o'clock in the morning, a gunshot sounded, and the bullet grazed Marcus's arm and flew away, while also erasing a small blood mark on his arm.

When Marcus subconsciously lay down, a few more bullets flew above his head.

When the three young men in their twenties saw that they didn't hit, they immediately started scolding.

However, although he was not killed, he was forced back into the mountains again.

And if you miss this mountain pass and want to reach another place, you have to walk at least more than 20 miles of mountain roads.

For Chu Xiangqian, this road may only take two or three hours.

But for ordinary people, it can take a whole day, or even two days.

And the longer it drags on, the more dangerous it is for Marcus, who lacks water and food.

At the same time, to Marcus's grief and anger, at least several teams with dogs in the mountains were looking for him, but he didn't expect that there were also three people in ambush on the side of the mountain pass.

This means that the people who hunt after themselves are not just the people of the forest pastures.

Otherwise, there are not so many dogs in a ranch.

The number of people was also not enough to divide into four or five teams.

After all, a team of two or three people goes into the mountains to chase a lone wolf who can be ambushed and shot with a black gun, which is basically joking with his own life.

But what Marcus didn't expect was that in the morning in the town tavern, it was rumored that the forest ranch had received a bounty, and many people couldn't sit still anymore.

Someone with a gun, pulled up a friend and hurried into the mountain.

Naturally, there are also people, after some thought, teaming up with friends and driving around the surrounding mountains, from the side and back into the mountains to surround him.

Thus, at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, Marcus, who was walking towards the second exit, encountered a team of four people.

And the leader of the team, who is very experienced, hid around a mountain stream.

Waiting for the thirsty Marcus, he himself entered the encirclement.

Chu Xiangqian, who was staring through the, thought that this game would be over, but unexpectedly, this group of people did not intend to kill Marcus like this.

Seeing that Marcus was forced to be shot from behind, he had to put down the gun in his hand, and then he was searched, his hands were tied, and he began to walk out of the mountain.

Chu Xiangqian quickly understood that to kill Marcus at this time, the four of them had to carry Marcus's body and walk out.

Even if you wait next to the corpse in the mountain and send one person out to find someone to come and inspect it, there is a high probability that you will encounter other pursuers during the waiting period, and there may be a competition for the bounty.

Second, in case someone hides and watches himself and others kill Marcus, and then go to the police.

Not only will you be in trouble, but there is a high probability that the bounty will be gone.

It's better to escort Marcus out of the mountains, find his car, hide the people again, and kill Marcus in private in front of the bounty owner to get the bounty directly.

Chu Xiangqian, who understood this, thought about it and called someone to inform Simon and Sam.

Let the two of them take the two cowboys from last night, ride to catch the four of Marcus, and wait where they parked.

As for how to find the place where the four people parked, the chickadee has too much advantage in the environment of the mountains and forests.

Humans walk for hours, and chickadees fly in the air in just a few minutes.

Chu Xiangqian only roughly estimated the speed of the four people's walking, and let the fly around this range, and it only took more than twenty minutes to find two pickup trucks parked on the side of a mountain road, outside the woods.

When Simon and Sam arrived at the half-level manor with the two of them, the even escorted the four of Marcus and explored the route down the mountain.

Then Chu Xiangqian used a pencil to draw a topographic map on paper.

Simon and Sam only watched for a few tens of seconds, quickly determining where the place was.

Then I couldn't help but feel admiration and fear for Chu Xiangqian's so-called subordinates in my heart.

In their minds, the person who went into the mountain to catch Marcus didn't realize that he was surrounded by a team that was very good at stealing and tracking.

If this is opened, maybe Marcus and the team that caught him will die without knowing how.
