America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chen Jianqiu's team continued walking along the national border.

I don't know if it's because this group of twenty or so people is a bit powerful, or if the gangsters along the way heard something.

The road was calm and calm, not even a single person was seen.

Ariana's carriage followed all the way behind, and Romero rode an old horse perseveringly behind the carriage.

No water, no dry food.

Chen Jianqiu didn't say anything along the way, but asked Holiday to deliver water and dry food to Romero once when they set up camp.

When he was sent there, the young man was licking his chapped lips and looking infatuatedly at Ariana beside the carriage not far away.

The girl was still angry with him and wouldn't let him get close to her camp.

"Brother, don't mess with yourself, women are not worthy." Holiday couldn't stand it anymore and patted Romero on the shoulder.

In his opinion, it is really embarrassing for a man to do this.

Romero took the dry food and water and nodded gratefully to Holiday.

Then, when Holiday returned to the camp, he turned around and saw Romero walking towards Ariana's camp with dry food and water.

Holiday cursed.

"Forget it, leave him alone, the licking dog won't be able to save him for a while until there's nothing left." Chen Jianqiu said softly while chewing the dried meat.

The team quickly moved into Texas and arrived in El Paso not long after.

After arriving in El Paso, Chen Jianqiu was not in a hurry to cross the border to Juarez.

Because he discovered that the two cities were connected by a bridge over the Rio Grande.

Moreover, the personnel patrolling the checkpoint and nearby areas were far less strict than he imagined.

They will simply check the documents and let you go; sometimes, they may not even be at the job.

So Chen Jianqiu asked others to stay in El Paso, while he and Abiot went to Juarez to investigate the situation and see what was happening to his old friend Thiago.

As for Ariana and Romero, Chen Jianqiu ignored them.

The love-hate relationship between these two people is completely uninteresting to him now.

All towns established by the Spanish had a typical structure, which was the center of the town, usually a circular square with a Catholic church on the square.

Although Juarez and El Paso separated due to the Mexican-American War, they each inherited this tradition.

At this moment, Chen Jianqiu and Abiot were standing under the eaves of the square smoking cigarettes.

They are sorting out the results of the investigation just now.

"I didn't expect this guy to be so capable." Abiot threw the half-smoked cigarette on the ground and stamped it out with his foot.

According to their investigation, Thiago is really a cockroach that cannot be killed.

After returning to Juarez, he received some help and within a short period of time, he gathered a group of Mexicans around him.

Thiago led these people and quickly swept through the western city of Juarez, beating the unorganized and undisciplined gangs into scurrying.

The experience of being chased all the way by the U.S. federal army became his capital to brag and win over his subordinates.

After all, the entire Mexico was defeated by the U.S. federal army, let alone a gang leader.

Being able to get the US military to take action is already very impressive.

In just a few months, Thiago has established a firm foothold in Juarez.

This guy didn't even bother to change the gang's name, they just called it the Crocodile Gang.

"Aside from being a little drifting from time to time and having a bone in the back of his head, our old friend is quite knowledgeable," Chen Jianqiu said while looking at the crowd in the square.

His skin color was not conspicuous at all in Juárez, where there were many Indians and mestizos on the streets.

"Let me investigate his whereabouts. If there is a chance to kill him when he is alone, there is no need to mobilize so many troops." Abiot put forward his own suggestion.

"Okay, you continue to stay here to investigate, and I will go back to discuss other matters with Camilla and the others."

Don't go to war if you can. Although Juarez is a place where it is quick and convenient to escape after killing people, Chen Jianqiu does not intend to make himself notorious here.

Just when they were about to separate and make their next plan.

Abbiot suddenly elbowed Chen Jianqiu: "Isn't that Ariana?"

Chen Jianqiu looked in the direction pointed by Abiot and found a carriage parked at the door of the church. The consul's daughter was getting out of the carriage and walking towards the church door.

If it were just this Mexican girl, Chen Jianqiu probably wouldn't stop.

However, a familiar face flashed past the carriage and followed Ariana into the church.

It's not who Thiago is.

After they entered the church, the church door was closed.

Five or six Mexicans wearing straw hats stood at the door of the church.

Apparently, they are all Thiago's people.

"How did this guy get together with Ariana?" Abiot looked at the two people disappearing at the door of the church, feeling a little puzzled, "Besides, what are they going to the church for?"

"I have a rough guess as to why Thiago rose to prominence in Ciudad Juárez so quickly." Chen Jianqiu touched his chin, "As for what he is doing, we will find out if we go in and take a look."

He took Abiot through the crowd in the square and walked swaggering towards the door of the church.

"Boy, the church is closed to the public today. If anything happens, please come tomorrow."

The Mexicans guarding the door stopped Chen Jianqiu who was about to open the church door.

Several other Mexicans outside the church also turned their attention.

"Oh? Is it because Thiago is inside?" Abiot turned around from behind Chen Jianqiu and looked at the Mexicans provocatively.

"Since you know our boss, you shouldn't ask this question." The leading Mexican felt that the man in front of him needed education.

Several other Mexicans also gathered around.

"I have known your boss much earlier than you." Abiot began to talk endlessly about Thiago's bad things in the United States.

Some of the things he said were true and some were false.

But because they are mixed together, they all sound like they are true.

As for those Mexicans, at first they wanted to teach this ignorant guy a lesson.

But I don't know why, but I was attracted by what he said for a while.

"Okay, that's all I can say. If he is really inside, then I won't go in."

After talking about Thiago stealing oil, Abiot's story came to an abrupt end.

A group of Mexicans were still satisfied after hearing this, but they saw Abiot turn around and disappear into the crowd in the square.

They didn't remember at all that there seemed to be another yellow-skinned person just now.

The man had quietly ran into the church at this time.
