Archyna was a nobleman with a title, and her daughters were also well-bred ladies, so she had to take all aspects into account when traveling or moving.

To put it simply, it's grinding.

Leon clearly remembered that before the next copy, the mother and daughter spent a whole day sorting out all kinds of clothes and matching jewelry, and this time it was a similar situation when they moved from the Jade Ranch to St. Denis.

I said that I would leave in the morning, but it was noon.

A very interesting thing happened during this period, an African lion actually appeared near the ranch.

This is not a modern era with convenient transportation and advanced technology, but 1899.

The vast majority of people living on the American continent may never have seen an African lion look like in their entire lives.

But people are not stupid, just look at its fierce appearance and know that it is not easy to mess with.

So they ran to the ranch to ask for help, hoping that the ranch could help them deal with the beast.

However, Nether Dogs have also never seen a living lion, after all, it is rare to see a cat in 2077.

Fortunately, catching a big cat is no different from catching a kitten for a ghost dog.

In this way, Leon's family received a prime-aged male lion as a gift before leaving.

"Honey, the cat is so cute, let's raise it." The eldest lady was overflowing with love, squatting in front of the cage and curiously observing the big cat.

She hadn't ever been up close to it.

The male lion may have been a newcomer, and seemed very uneasy, and his mouth kept letting out a menacing growl, rumbling like a high-powered engine.

Occasionally, he makes a pounce and bites in an attempt to scare off the terrifying Homo erectus that surrounds the cage.

"It's up to you." Leon had little interest in raising ordinary creatures: "But remember to ask Madame for advice first, she doesn't want stinky beasts to enter her territory." ”

Bella agreed: "No problem, I will bathe it often." ”

The male lion did not know that he had a new master, but only roared vigorously, so the eldest lady also showed the fangs in her mouth.

"You're not good, big cat."

Under the terrible pressure of the vampire bride, the king of Africa instantly succumbed, and even his eyes became much clearer.

Seeing that it obediently showed its belly, the eldest lady withdrew her fangs and smiled with satisfaction.

"Open the cage and take it to a bath."

"Be obedient in the future, or I'll have to get a new carpet."

Looking at the male lion who had no beast king temperament rubbing Bella's hand diligently, Leon suddenly remembered how it came about.

The circus, a circus from England.

The leader of the regiment is a transvestite, claiming to be the world's number one female animal trainer, and the group includes a mule dressed as a zebra, a dog disguised as a lion, and a cougar who is streaked out as a tiger.

And the lion that ran to the ranch was the only real thing in the entire circus.

It's the Wild West, it's really wild.

After sighing, Li Ang went directly to his wife's side.

It just so happened that Achina and her two daughters had almost packed up and were finally able to go.

St. Denis is a long way southeast of the Emerald Ranch, and for the sake of time, the family would spend the night in the town of Rhodes, then inspect the territory before moving on to St. Denis.

It was still the big black carriage and the coachman Bayek, and Leon was sitting in the carriage with the mother and daughter of the Ti family.

When the ground beneath their feet gradually turns reddish-brown, it proves that they have left the heart of the earth and entered the southern state of Lemon.

The temperature here is higher than in New Hanover, but it is not dry due to the abundant water in the surrounding area.

Leon and the others stopped at the Iron Lake for a while to enjoy the lake view before heading to the town of Lodz.

Rhodes is a old-fashioned and formal town, and although the unique red soil and constant wind and sand make it look more like the western part of the movie, it is indeed a small southern town, as evidenced by the plantation-based economic model.

It is worth mentioning that during the Civil War, Rhodes was a front-line battlefield, and there are still many remnants of the war.

There are countless veterans of the Yugoslav Army who have been discharged or disabled, many of whom have always had a deep resentment against the defeat of the South and are unwilling to integrate into normal life, so they have gathered together to form a gang called the 'Lemoen Marauders', engaged in arms trafficking, robbery, theft and other illegal businesses.

But this is all in the past, since Han Sen took power, he began to expel this group of marauders, and if he dared to continue to stay near the town of Rhodes, there were basically only two ends: hanging or shooting.

Not to mention the defeated Southern Army, even the regular American army is enough to choke and beat the ghost dogs.

So the marauders, who were scared of being killed, had no choice but to hide in the swampy areas to the east, and watch the big crocodiles baring their teeth all day long.

Coupled with the fact that the two major plantation families that have been entrenched here for more than 100 years have been swept into the garbage heap of history by Han Sen, the law and order situation in the town of Lodz and the surrounding area has jumped to the best in history.

Leon's family lived in a large estate that had been the domain of one of the families, now surnamed Dimitrescu.

Although the interior decoration is not as luxurious as the Tijia Castle, it is also much better than the Emerald Ranch, and Achina is very satisfied, and immediately takes her three daughters to visit the new home.

Li Ang was not interested in this, and was going to go out with Han Sen for a walk and chat about something by the way.

The two mounted their horses and walked slowly towards the town at a pace of walking.

"Sir, aren't you going to stay in Rhodes for a few more days?" Han Sen asked.

Li Ang looked at the farmland on both sides of the road: "Look at Bella's opinions, after all, the purpose of going out this time is to take them to play, it doesn't matter where I go." ”

Han Sen couldn't help but sigh: "You are really doting on several ladies. ”

As for the family affairs of their own leader, smart people know that they should not put too much beak, so after saying this, he changed the topic.

"You have just passed through a tobacco field, the former property of the Gray family, and the rival Braithwaite family, which made moonshine. They have monopolized both industries in Lemoine, and over the years have made a lot of profits, and the family assets are no less than those of the mining tycoons. ”

"By the way, the Braithwaite family has a habit of raising stallions, and they are all top thoroughbreds."

"There are dark Turkmen, and two Arabians, both of which are kept for you."

"I've inquired and any male thoroughbred is worth more than $5,000, more than Arthur's head!"

Leon smiled: "Mr. Morgan will probably be very unhappy when he hears it. ”

"Keep the three horses for the lady, I'll have Torret."

As he spoke, he patted the spirit horse's neck.

Torrett snorted with great joy and responded.

The spirit horse can understand people, and Han Sen knows it, so he wisely did not continue to talk about other horses in front of it.

Anyway, the things have already been sent out, and how to distribute them is Leon's business.

"Sir, I have something here that I need to ask for your opinion"

"Braithwaite's family has a moonshine outlet in St. Denis, linked to an Italian. This man is a mafia boss, a landlord of St. Denis, and because of the Braithwaite's connections, he is dissatisfied with us and thinks that we have ruined his business. ”

"If I wanted to dispose of him, would it disrupt your original plans?"

Leon asked, "Angelo Brontë?" ”

Han Sen immediately exclaimed: "Mr. is clever, it's him!" ”

Leon couldn't tell the prophet, but he knew the plot: "He has something to do with the mayor of St. Denis, just pay attention to this when dealing with it, and it doesn't matter otherwise." ”

"I see." Han Sen nodded: "Just take this opportunity to expand our sphere of influence to St. Denis. ”

The two were chatting, and a person suddenly sprang out of the grass next to them.

His hair was clumped, he was covered in a foul smell, he looked panicked, and he looked behind him from time to time.

When he saw Li Ang and the others, he immediately took out a dagger and threatened with a fierce expression: "Hurry up and get off the horse, otherwise I dare not guarantee what will happen later." ”

As he spoke, the man came to Han Senma, as if he wanted to drag him down.

Thanks to the fact that Torrett had a pair of horns, he was mistaken for a cow and was not suitable for escaping, so he was subconsciously ignored.

Han Sen looked at the man who was very introverted and frowned.

Half an hour ago, I just boasted to Leon that the town of Rhodes was safe, but when I went out, I encountered a roadblock and robbery, which was simply a slap in the face.

"Brotherhood of Anders?"

The man was stunned: "How do you know?" ”

"Then you don't know Lao Tzu?" Enraged, Han Sen pulled out his gun and exploded his head.

The Anders Brotherhood is a small local gang in Rhodes, with few members, but they are abducted and cheated, and they are doing all kinds of evil, and the Nether Dogs are encircling and suppressing them these days.

"I'm so sorry for letting you see the joke." Han Sen said ashamedly.

Leon said indifferently: "There is no need to blame yourself, in this year, outlaws are like weeds, and they can never be cleaned up." ”

As he spoke, another 'outlaw' emerged from the grass.

The man wore a black gambler's hat, a beard, a bullet belt, and a bag around his waist, making him tall and burly.

Seeing this, Li Ang suddenly showed a strange smile.

"Wow, Mr. Morgan, is there anything more coincidental in the world than the reunion of an old friend?"

Arthur saw these two familiar faces and wanted to go back into the grass.

You can meet him wherever you go! Oh, it's someone's territory, that's fine.

"Mr. Li Ang, Colonel Han Sen, good afternoon, both."

Li Ang nodded in acknowledgment, but Han Sen had a serious expression.

"Didn't you promise me that you wouldn't be near Rhodes in the future?"

Arthur was embarrassed to straighten the gun, and he was too embarrassed to say why.

After making a big fuss about Valentine, the Fan Gang could not continue to stay in New Hanover, and there was only one way to escape.

To the north is the snow-capped mountains, to the east is also bitterly cold, and to the west is the town of Blackwater, but going south is a good choice.

Arthur's initial suggestion was to choose a new camp in the marshy area between Lodz and St. Denis.

Although the environment is average, it is inaccessible, and it is a good place to hide.

Ducky did the opposite, insisting that the camp be stationed at Cape Clemmons by the Iron Lake.

The reasons given are also quite sufficient: with Leon and Han Sen here, Rhodes is the safest place in the world.

Arthur thought about it, and it really made sense.

Hosea had no objection, he was one of the few people in the gang who advocated working with Leon.

If the Big Three agree, it means that the others agree, so all members of the Fan Gang have quietly established a new base in Clemmons this morning.

When they arrived in a new place, they naturally had to familiarize themselves with the surrounding environment, and the three giants of the Fan Gang simply came on a short trip to Rhodes, ready to take a stroll around the town of Rhodes.

Halfway through, I came across the Nether Dogs chasing the Anders Brotherhood.

Daqi came up with an idea, since the gang was going to mix in Rhodes Town in the future, it was inevitable to deal with Han Sen, and befriending him would benefit the gang and do no harm.

So he decided to send his general, Arthur, to help the Nether Dogs capture the criminals.

Although Arthur felt ridiculous, there was no reason for a thief to catch a thief, but in the end he still chose to carry out the boss's orders.

He fled, he chased, chased, chased, and chased in front of Leon.

"I'm helping the Sheriff of Rhodes catch a prisoner." Arthur explained awkwardly.

Han Sen raised his eyebrows and teased, "What, I finally understand that the gang has no future, and I am ready to change careers to become a bounty hunter?" ”

Leon opened his mouth to relieve Arthur: "Go and see if that corpse is the one you want to capture." If so, the Colonel should give Mr. Morgan a credit. ”

Han Sen couldn't help but mutter, "I killed the person." ”

"It's me who chased him here, so you have a chance to kill him." Arthur didn't suffer at all.

After examining the corpse and confirming that it was correct, the number one thug carried it on horseback, apparently taking it as his trophy.

It's a pity that he couldn't loot the property on the corpse in front of Li Ang and Han Sen, and he lost it.

Han Sen didn't care about Arthur, because whoever caught the criminal would ultimately be credited to him, the mayor, who was well governed.

"Sir, do you want to meet that Mr. van der Linde?"

Li Ang nodded in agreement: "Let's go, idle is idle." ”

Arthur was a little nervous when he heard this.

I hope that Daqi will not have any conflict with Leon because of the last beating.

Soon, the two waves converged.

As it turned out, Arthur's worries were unnecessary.

Daqi has been in the rivers and lakes for so many years, and he has been playing a lot of tricks when he sees people talking about people, and he is a compliment to Li Ang and Han Sen.

All kinds of good words came out of his mouth in a different way.

Even Hosea, who has known each other for decades, was surprised by his low posture, is this still the proud Ducky van der Linde?

Li Ang listened with great interest to the compliment of the king of ideas.

And Han Sen had already hit Arthur with his idea: "Mr. Morgan, Mr. said that you are quite good at marksmanship and have good skills, are you interested in coming to the town to be a sheriff?" ”

“？？？” Arthur looked confused, suspecting that he had misheard.

He was wanted by West Elizabeth and New Hanover, and to Lemonne was actually qualified as a sheriff, this mayor is probably not a brain problem.

Ducky was unusually positive when he heard this, and kept glaring at Arthur.

"The mayor has a vision! My brother has good skills and a great sense of justice, and he is the best choice for sheriff! ”

"Hosea, are you right?"

Hosea also reacted at this time: "Yes, yes, Ducky is right, as a member of Rhodes, I am in favor of Arthur as the sheriff with both hands!" ”

If Arthur becomes a sheriff, it will be good not only for him, but also for the entire gang. This pair of Fan Gang, who are almost exhausted, is definitely a pie-in-the-sky thing.

Li Ang saw that it was quite interesting for the two to sing and harmonize, so he agreed: "Indeed." ”

Four votes for one, Arthur can't do it even if he doesn't want to.

"Shall I try then?"

Dudge happily patted him on the shoulder: "Congratulations, Sheriff Morgan!" ”

Then, the king of ideas changed his words: "Although Arthur is capable, his personality is always a little reckless. Let me follow him as a deputy sheriff, police officer or something, and help him come up with ideas? ”

This move was to test whether Han Sen could speak well, and he became a deputy sergeant for Bai Lao, and if he didn't succeed, he didn't lose anything.

Han Sen naturally couldn't be fooled, and refused mercilessly: "You think it's beautiful, do you need me to arrange all the members of your gang into the police station?" ”

Ducky smiled: "Don't be angry, Mr. Mayor, I'll just say it casually." ”

The originally lively atmosphere of several people was so cold.

Arthur had the heart to stand with Ducky, but he was afraid of disappointing him and Hosea's expectations, so he could only stand silently.

At the same time, it has been expected that this sheriff may not be so easy to be.

Leon broke the silence at the right time, this time targeting Hosea.

"Mr. Matthews, I heard that you are a talkative gentleman with a lot of contacts in several nearby states, would you be interested in doing me a favor?"

Hosea immediately said, "You are too polite, you say yes, I will do my best." ”

"That's right." Leon said slowly: "I recently added a new moonshine business, which is sold to St. Denis, but I lack a calm and experienced person to help me deal with those city people, are you interested in cooperating?" ”

Hosea hesitated, subconsciously looking at Ducky.

Ducky nodded quietly, meaning that he could agree first, which was also an opportunity for the gang to make money.

But Hosea was still a little hesitant, he always felt that something was wrong.

"Can I go back and think about it first?"

Li Ang agreed: "Of course there is no problem, since it is cooperation, both parties must be satisfied." ”

Hosea said gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Leon, for your size, I will give you an accurate answer as soon as possible." ”

"Well said." Li Ang waved his hand: "Then let's do it today, it's not early, Mr. Morgan remembers to come to the town sheriff's office tomorrow, and you must not be late for the first day of work." ”

"I will." Arthur replied in a muffled voice.

Subsequently, Li Ang and Han Sen fought and left, leaving the three giants of the Fan Gang in place.

Daqi couldn't hold back his excitement anymore and laughed: "Hahaha, what did I say before I came, Rhodes Town is our blessed land!" ”

"The position of the sheriff is in hand, and you are afraid that you will not be able to make money?"

"I guess it won't be long before we can go to Tahiti to grow mangoes!"

Arthur echoed perfunctorily: "Yes, you're right. ”

He was thinking about how to be a sheriff, if a gang member committed a crime, would it be a favoritism, or a righteous murder?

For now, he would definitely choose the latter.

Hosea voiced his concerns: "I'm afraid that I'll be too bound to Rhodes and end up being their vassal." ”

Ducky is still optimistic: "Don't worry, I'll be watching from the sidelines, and if there is a problem, I will get out immediately." ”

"I hope so." Hosea rubbed his eyebrows.

As the sky loses its last rays of light, the Big Three return to their new camp and inform all gang members of Arthur's appointment as sheriff.

Everyone was overjoyed.

Is there such a good thing in the world? You can't walk sideways in the town of Rhodes in the future? It should be okay to start some illegal small business, who let them have Sheriff Morgan.

Fortunately, Ducky still has a conscience and knows that Arthur is not a good sheriff, so he vaccinated the members in advance.

From now on, all illegal gang activities must be avoided in the town of Lodz.

Of course, he can't control gray activities such as lending money and taking credit, which cannot be regarded as crimes.
