Chapter 223: Embark on the south
Soon, news of Xiucai came back that Roosevelt was already on his way home from the south, and would probably be back to New York tomorrow.
"Very good, it seems that we need to make some preparations here, and when he comes back tomorrow to settle down, I need to go to visit this old friend with Ma Daochang."
After getting the news that Roosevelt would be returning tomorrow, news came from the cripple's side.
"Mr. Zhou, I found out, Secretary Moore's former deputy secretly went to Staten Island yesterday and found the group of thugs of the Gunfire Gang, we happened to have a spy over there, saying that the Gunfire Gang used almost two-thirds of their manpower and began to leave New York in batches, all converging in the direction of Mississippi."
"Very well, now that we are sure that we will have to gather our men to go south to Mississippi, and whoever grabs this cake will be his."
After Zhou Yu finished speaking, he stood up from his seat with a smile on his face, paced left and right for a few steps, looked at the cripple and said: "Go and call Lao Hu, he will take the lead in this matter, so as not to soak in the bar all day and have nothing to do, and call Zhou Zhen, Tongsuo and Li Bai to let them go together." ”
"Okay, Mr. Zhou, I'll go now."
As soon as the cripple turned around and opened the door of the study, he saw Hong Agui standing outside the door, and the two said hello, and the former flashed sideways in front of the latter, going to find Hu Rentian first.
"Ghost, did you just come?"
Hong Ah Ghost looked at the cripple who left in a hurry, walked into the study, and said in a calm voice: "Mr. Zhou, if there is a task, Ah Ghost can also go." ”
Hong Agui now feels that Zhou Yu is always followed by the two masters of Qinglong and Baihu, and his role is infinitely compressed, and he has a feeling of being powerful and nowhere to go.
Especially when he saw that the other brothers of C13 were gradually showing their prominence in certain fields, his heart was even more anxious.
Zhou Yu patted the seat in the study and said: "Come, sit, I will call you without asking, this time there is a very important task entrusted to you and Lao Hu, you need to go to Mississippi, find a local gang, and recapture the weapons and gold that were stolen by them, weapons are our main purpose, gold...... It's as if they compensated us for the loss of our drinks. ”
Hearing that he was going to Mississippi to grab gold and weapons, Hong Ghost's eyes instantly lit up with a burst of flames, and he had been holding back his strength all this time, feeling that he was about to be left behind by all his brothers, and this mission would be successfully completed no matter what.
After a while, Hu Rentian, Zhou Zhen and several others were called to the study by the cripple, and when Zhou Yu roughly told them about their trip, Hu Rentian couldn't wait to turn around and pack his things.
"Lao Hu, you give me a little steady, this operation is in charge of you and Ah Ghost together. Zhou Zhen, aren't you always clamoring to be on your own, this is a good opportunity to practice. Copper lock, Li Bai, you two go with you, you are very steady, remember to drag Lao Hu a little when he is hot-headed. ”
"Okay, Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Yu thought about it for a while and said: "By the way, it's better not to bring our C13 brothers with you this time, bring more local brothers, it's easier to act there." ”
Zhou Yuke knew that at this time, the discrimination against colored people in many states and counties in the southern New World had almost reached a perverted level.
A large part of the bottom workers of the Chamber of Commerce are now colored people, if they are allowed to go, the task will not be completed, but it will definitely be targeted by the local resident group, let alone complete the task, even self-protection will be a problem.
"Okay Mr. Zhou, don't worry, I'll personally select people!"
Zhou Yu raised his hand and said, "Don't worry, what did I say just now?" You haven't gone out yet...... I'll take Leswood with you, and I'll tell you a little bit about Mississippi, where there are more people riding horses than driving, and there aren't as many smooth highways as New York, and the people are so fierce that they draw their guns and shoot at every turn. ”
"The people are strong? No matter how tough he is, can he have our tough~? ”
Hu Rentian slapped his chest unconvinced, while the cripple laughed beside him: "Are you tough?" You're Biao~! Mr. Zhou, otherwise I'll follow this action. ”
Zhou Yu shook his head and said: "No, you have other more important tasks, even if you want to go, it is not now, if my next plan can be successfully promoted, you and your people will go to Mississippi with me in the second batch." ”
"Oh, Mr. Zhou, are you going too?"
Everyone was surprised to hear Zhou Yu's words, as the leader of C13 and the Dragon Chamber of Commerce, he should stay in New York.
Zhou Yu nodded and said: "This is just an idea of mine, as for whether it will be put into action, it depends on how bad the situation of our old friend Roosevelt will be tomorrow." ”
At that moment, he explained some action matters to everyone, and then the meeting was dismissed, and Hu Rentian smoked from the soles of his excited feet, and carefully selected a few subordinates who were not only Westerners but also descendants of the Chamber of Commerce among his brave and ruthless subordinates overnight, and took them to the south together.
But Hu Rentian only focused on his thugs when selecting people, and it wasn't until the team set off that he looked at the driver in the driver's seat of the car with some confusion and asked, "Adam, why are you?" Don't have any other drivers? ”
Yes, Adam is a black young man, who once followed Zhou Yu and them north to buy drinks, has good driving skills, and is also smart, but he is a colored person in Zhou Yu's mouth, and if he goes to the south of the New World, it can almost be said that it is difficult to move an inch.
Adam replied with a smile: "Mr. Hu, you said that you were looking for the person with the best driving skills in our Chamber of Commerce, so I came." ”
Hu Rentian touched his head, glanced at Hong Agui and Zhou Zhen who were sitting next to him, and said, "Actually...... He just stayed in the car all the time, so it shouldn't be a big deal, right? Mr. Zhou may be afraid that I will not take it to heart, and deliberately said it more seriously, even if it is discriminatory, where can it be discriminated against? Is it more serious than our Chinese workers' camp in the UK? ”
No one in the room had been to any other southern state or county, and could not answer his question, but now that Adam had come, it was impossible to turn around and let him drive back.
Mr. Zhou said when he taught them that "soldiers are expensive and fast", no matter what, as long as you do it faster than others, you are the dominant side.
In this southward mission, in order to ensure that everything went smoothly, Hu Rentian, Hong Agui, Zhou Zhen and other C13 Chinese brothers drove there, while the local members of the Chamber of Commerce he carefully selected did not have such concerns and took the train directly to Mississippi, which can be said to be divided into two routes.
The car set off overnight and soon left New York State and headed south.
But as he walked, especially after a few bumpy sections, Adam, the black driver, muttered in a slightly confused whisper:
"Huh? It's a little strange, don't we have a lot of things in the trunk? It's all transported by train, why does it feel so heavy? ”
When Hu Rentian heard his muttering, his eyes widened, "What are you talking about there?" You mean Lao Tzu is fat! ”
Adam hurriedly waved his hand and parked the car on the side of the road, "No, no, no, I'm afraid that there is something wrong with the car, and it will be difficult to break down halfway, let me check it." ”
"It's really troublesome, didn't you check it before you left?"
Hu Rentian also got out of the car with a grumbling stomach, and Zhou Zhen and Hong Agui all got out of the car to help watch together.
However, the moment Adam opened the trunk, everyone standing next to him was dumbfounded.
Because at this moment, in the trunk, the dry food and water they had carried before were all gone, and in their place was a Margaret curled up and even wearing a skirt.
