America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 251 Gambling Players

The saying that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain is reasonable to a certain extent.

People walking often know where this road leads.

The reason why Lin Qi had the courage to "walk forward to Tiger Mountain" was because he always believed that only when they entered the mountain could the mountain have a reason to be called Tiger Mountain.

"Further ahead is the Blanca Mountains."

Captain Doby said to Lynch in front.

Two people were riding horses and walking side by side at the front of the team.

They had just passed a tree whose birth and death were unknown.

This tree stands on the roadside like a road sign, watching the passers-by.

The two horses at the front of the team kept a certain distance from the team. This distance was just right so that the people behind could not hear the conversation between the two.

"According to what the transport personnel said last time, they were robbed right in front."

Lynch raised his head, looked at the mountains in front of him and the surrounding wilderness, and nodded: "Well, it's a good place to ambush."

"What if they take a gamble and bet everything on our side?" Dolby was a little worried.

"Chen Jianqiu will definitely choose to fight to the death, but those Mexican gangsters will not." Lin Qi sat upright on the horse, his body rising and falling with the ups and downs of the horse's back.

"How could those guys who are willing to accept the soft persimmon and be afraid of the tough, listen to Chen Jianqiu's words, ignore the soft persimmons, and come to gamble with us for a 1/2 chance?"

Lynch smiled contemptuously.

"If, I mean if." Captain Dolby adjusted his language. He looked around with some fear, "Should we speed up a little bit?"

"No ifs! Dolby!" Lynch felt angry for no reason.

"We can't escape! Chen Jianqiu owes me and Pinkerton a blood debt!" He looked directly into Dolby's eyes. "You won't forget the purpose of your coming. You really think that you are here to transport the oil for Standard Oil Company."

Is it from a tanker truck?”

Dolby said nothing.

After Tim left Pinkerton, he and Lynch Jr. have been in charge of Pinkerton's business in the west.

Although he didn't have much of a relationship with Little Lynch, it was really unbelievable that a team of Pinkerton detectives had mysteriously disappeared here without even seeing their bodies.

This loss is unbearable for Pinkerton Detective Agency.

According to their investigation with Tim, the last place Tim's brother, Lynch Jr., was last seen before his disappearance was in Lincoln County.

The target he was tracking was the man named Chen Jianqiu.

Tim Lynch locked himself in the room for more than ten days and studied all the information about this man.

When Dolby led the detectives to Roswell, Tim Lynch finally walked out of his house.

He believed that he knew this man well enough, and his brother would definitely die at his hands.

"Then should we send out some hidden sentries?" Dolby said cautiously.

Along the way, Lynch didn't let anyone stay behind to observe, which puzzled him.

Not doing investigation is completely inconsistent with Lynch's previous action style.

"Let's leave some people behind so that we can learn if we find them as soon as possible." Dolby gave his own suggestion.

"No, Chen Jianqiu will definitely come, and he will definitely follow!" Lin Qi said with great certainty, "For a person of his ability, the secret whistle will definitely be discovered, and it will only alert the enemy!"

Dolby was doubtful.

However, he still chose to trust his old boss.

…

Three hours later, Chen Jianqiu's team also appeared at the entrance of the mountain.

"This tree looks so weird." Sean stared at the signpost-like dead tree on the side of the road and scratched his head.

He has been studying what the shape of this tree looks like, whether it is a scarecrow or something else.

There is only one way into the mountain right now, and according to Asuka, there is only one way out of the mountain.

This is also the reason why Chen Jianqiu chose this road as the road for Thiago to rob after he reported it to him.

A mountain road is blocked at both ends. You can hide up the mountain, but if you want to get out, you can't escape.

"Boss, should we abandon our horses and walk through the mountains and woods?" Feiniao is familiar with the terrain here. "There is only one road here. If Lin Qi and others leave people, we will be easily discovered."

Everyone looked up.

Asuka was right, there were trees on both sides of the road, and the hillside without trees was full of jagged rocks. There might be a hidden sentry hidden behind any tree or stone.

"I'm afraid, this is not necessary." Chen Jianqiu said suddenly.

Everyone looked at each other, suddenly not quite understanding what he meant.

Chen Jianqiu followed the team with him. Along the way, he kept feeling that something was wrong.

Judging from the reaction of the corn in the sky, Lynch did not leave any observation posts or secret posts along the way.

This is not common sense.

And when he passed the old tree and saw the steep ridges on both sides of the mountain road, an idea flashed out of his mind.

Lynch, he was actually waiting for himself.

He didn't care at all about the oil fleet or the Standard Oil Company.

Ever since those Chinese workers were replaced, this vicious guy had only one purpose, which was to lure him out, to lure out the Roswell he didn't dare to do anything to.

Thinking of this, Chen Jianqiu smiled.

Because of yourself, so why not?

However, at this time, an eagle whistle suddenly came from the sky.

Chen Jianqiu looked in the direction where the corns were circling. Behind a stone, half of the brim of a yellow wide-brimmed straw hat was exposed.

Camilla took off the rifle on her back and was about to remove the cloth covering it.

However, Chen Jianqiu stopped her.

"Don't do anything, we are not Lin Qi's people."

Whether it is Lynch or the detectives from Pinkerton Detective Agency, they all wear suits and leather shoes, and they will never wear such wide-brimmed straw hats.

Only Mexicans would wear that stuff.

"It seems that I still know Thiago better than Lynch." Chen Jianqiu turned to Feiniao with a smile on his lips.

Feiniao did not feel relaxed. He still could not believe the former leader of the Crocodile Gang.

There are three players in this bet in the Blanca Mountains so far.

Two of them were playing games with each other, guessing the cards in each other's hands, while the remaining one was kept in the dark.

"Boss, do we really want to listen to that Chinese and have a fight with Pinkerton?" A robber with a scar on his face asked Thiago next to him.

They had already laid an ambush on both sides of the road, in the same position where they had robbed the oil truck before.

"What else?" Tiago stroked the barrel of the Gatling gun beside him, stared at the mountain road below, and said, "We have a Gatling now."

"Yes, we have Gatling! Boss!" The scarred man rolled his eyes and said, "We have a strong army now, how can we still fight for that Chinese?"

"Besides, what if the Chinese treats us as fools?" Scarface continued, "I heard that the oil truck was divided into two roads, and there were only a few people guarding the other road. That Chinese

People, I’m afraid I didn’t take people there with me.”

Thiago scratched his head, his mind running rapidly.

Although this scarred face looks ugly, it seems to make some sense.

After all, I was once a prince.

How can a real man stay under others for a long time?

Every time he sees Chen Jianqiu, he is like a mouse seeing a cat. If he keeps going like this, he may not always be laughed at by his younger brothers.

"Boss! Boss! They are coming!"

Just when Thiago was full of random thoughts, a man ran over out of breath.

"Who is coming? Speak slowly." Thiago looked at his subordinates and asked with a frown.

"They're all here, Pinkerton's detectives, and Boss Chen." The detective finally managed to catch his breath and put his hands on his knees, "Chen Jianqiu, Boss Chen, and about twenty people."

Hearing the words "Chen Jianqiu", Thiago suddenly shivered, and his head seemed to suddenly wake up.

Some of his bad memories were reawakened.

"I got the oil, you fucking sell it for me?" He kicked Scarface, who was still squatting in front of him, on the butt: "Isn't Boss Chen here? Check the weapons and prepare to receive customers!

"

At the other end of the valley, Chen Jianqiu was riding a horse and smiled.

The number of players in the gambling game, in Lynch's eyes, was three, but in his eyes, there were only two.

Because, the one who was kept in the dark was just a card in his hand.
