America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 20 The Death of Little Edward
Lieutenant Edward had led his troops around this circle for a long time before receiving the telegram from Morris. He had been to this place before, and he knew that he could find his large troops by bypassing the cliff in front of him.

It is important to save your own life first, that Chinese is too powerful, and that horse is like a ghost, one man and one horse killed three of his subordinates in an instant.

Damn Indians, damn Chinese, damn blacks, damn Morris, if he doesn't kill old Robert, the treasure map won't be robbed, and if the treasure map isn't robbed, he won't come to kill me It's a good thing, I was able to rejoin the army just now, and I will be afraid of these insects after reuniting with the army?
So everything is Morris' fault.

Edward continued to curse with his own unique logic. He really didn't know how Morris, who was lying on his back in the woods with a dagger stuck in his head, would feel when he found out.

But the whistling sound of bullets interrupted his thoughts. Edward didn't have to look back to know that Chen Jianqiu was catching up behind him.

He didn't dare to fight back anymore, he kicked his legs violently off the horse, the horse suffered from pain and ran forward desperately.

There was another shot, and the lieutenant suddenly felt that something had bitten his arm. He looked down, and he was shot.

Chen Jianqiu tried to fire the remaining bullets in the magazine, but none of them hit. His marksmanship was poor, let alone on horseback.

Although the accuracy is almost meaningless, it has already made the injured lieutenant extremely anxious.In desperation, he fired a few shots indiscriminately at the back, all of which were crooked for thousands of miles.

But this slowed down the speed of Chen Jianqiu's pursuit, and the distance between the two did not get closer for a while.

Two people and two horses chased to the bottom of the cliff, bypassed this cliff, and almost reached the mountain stream.

The lieutenant raised his gun and fired three shots, the cavalry's communication signal that he was in trouble.

Sure enough, after a while, there was a sound of horseshoes coming from the mountain stream.

At this time, the lieutenant did not panic at all, he even wanted to deal with the Chinese under the cliff, and dragged his large troops to arrive.

Until, he looked up and saw two figures on the top of the cliff.

An Indian stood in the wind with a longbow in his hand, while a white man, all bound, knelt before him, weeping in pain.

The Indian was the bird, and the white man was his son, little Edward.

"Forgive me, forgive me." Little Edward lowered his head, trying to get close to Asuka's leg like a dog, constantly begging for mercy.

But when he saw his father under the cliff, he suddenly became ecstatic and shouted frantically: "Help me! Dad! I'm here! Hurry up and save me!"

Seeing this scene, the lieutenant couldn't help feeling angry, the veins on his forehead twitched violently, and he even forgot that there was another person chasing after him.

He raised his hand just as he was about to speak.

But his posture quickly froze.

A feather arrow pierced through the air, directly piercing his shoulder.

Different from the last time in Shiquan Town, Asuka didn't say anything this time, his movements were decisive and quick, and his eyes were as firm as iron.

Blood oozed from the wound on his shoulder again, but Asuka ignored it completely and drew the tomahawk.

The lieutenant who was hit by the arrow felt the pain in his bone marrow. He tried his best not to fall off the horse, and looked up at Yashang.

But what he saw next made his heart ashamed.

The blade of the tomahawk slashed across little Edward's throat, forming a big gash, and blood gushed out from the wound. Little Edward rolled his eyes, and there was a gurgling sound in his throat.

Asuka didn't make him suffer for long, but kicked him off the cliff directly.After falling for a while, little Edward's body fell heavily to the bottom of the cliff, with blood all over it.

"I'll kill you! I'll kill you!" Old Edward was already insane. He shot the remaining bullets in his gun at the top of the cliff, tried to break the feathered arrow, ran to the cliff, and took Asuka's life.

But the people behind him would not give him this chance. Chen Jianqiu had already slapped the horse to catch up. He took out the lasso in the saddle bag, hit the lieutenant directly, and pulled him off the horse with all his strength.

The lieutenant fell heavily to the ground, and Chen Jianqiu rode his horse past, bent over and lifted it with one hand.He didn't want to drag Edward to death for the time being, it was too cheap for him.

When he threw the lieutenant on the horse, he found that the man had fallen into a coma, but he was tied up and thrown behind the horse.

At this time, the adjutant had already led the rest of the soldiers to the cliff, and when he saw that his officer was tied to the horse, he quickly ordered to pursue.

Some soldiers wanted to shoot directly, but he stopped him: "Don't hurt the lieutenant, the lieutenant is still on his horse."

Chen Jianqiu glanced at the galloping cavalry, and then at the top of the cliff.

Asuka disappeared, so they should have retreated.

The appearance of Asuka was unexpected. It was not included in his plan, but not only did Asuka appear, the effect was not bad.

He didn't think about it anymore, and directly grabbed the black radish's belly.

The black radish ran for a long time without any fatigue, raised its hooves, and ran towards the mountain at a fast speed.

After chasing for a while, the adjutant found that it was almost impossible to catch up with the black horse in front. The horse was carrying two people, and the speed was faster than all of them.

Chen Jianqiu and his black radish quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

The adjutant now has a headache. He was originally just an adjutant in charge of miscellaneous affairs next to Lieutenant Edward. He usually just listened to old Edward and little Edward. Now, both of them are gone, and the soldiers behind him are all looking at him eagerly.

Just as he was considering whether to go into the mountain to search now, a messenger suddenly ran up in a panic and reported: "Sir...sir, one of the two brothers we stayed in the camp died, and the remaining one ran away. Let’s say, our camp was burned.”

The adjutant turned pale with fright, he had absolutely no experience in dealing with this kind of situation, now he was at a loss, and didn't know what to do.

"Sir, if you don't go back, the camp will be gone!" The soldier's voice woke him up.

"Withdraw!" The adjutant gritted his teeth and gave the order.

A group of people turned their horses around, the rear team and the front team withdrew.

Chen Jianqiu drove the black radish for a section of the mountain road, but found that he was not following up. He knew that Xiao En had most likely succeeded.

He slowed down, turned his head to look at the lieutenant tied behind him, found that he was still alive, and headed towards the cave.

When he got to the cave, Asuka was already there waiting for him.

"Is your injury okay?" Chen Jianqiu carried the lieutenant off the horse and threw him in a corner of the cave, "You can deal with him, I'll go and meet Xiao En."

"Hey, no need, I have arrived safely."

Sean and his horse appeared at the cave entrance, and behind him sat the old Indian.

"Mom!" Asuka was ecstatic when he saw the old man, he rushed up to help his mother off the horse.

"I have to untie the rope first. I was afraid that she would fall down along the way, so I found a rope to tie us up." Sean said as he untied the rope.

Chen Jianqiu directly cut the rope with an axe, took Xiao En off the horse, and gave him a big hug.

"Hey, Boss, you know, this night and the day, I almost broke my leg." Sean stretched his body.

After the explosion in the mountain stream, Edward's troops exchanged fire with Morris' hired gunmen. Sean found an opportunity to slip out directly and went straight to the cavalry camp.

After arriving at the camp, he found that there were only two soldiers in the camp, sitting and chatting by the camp.One of them was still injured in that hand.

This made Sean a lot easier. Not only did he rescue Asuka's mother, he also "visited" Edward's big tent and set a fire in the camp by the way.

With the help of the valley wind, the fire was raging, and the two soldiers who stayed behind were busy fighting the fire.

So the bullets flew from behind, and the soldier with the wound on his hand fell directly into the fire, and the other soldier ran to report the news like a frightened bird.

"As expected of my dear friend." Chen Jianqiu put his arms around Xiao En's shoulders and said tenderly.

"Boss, guess what I found in Edward's tent." Sean reached into his pocket.

He pulled out two gold bars.

"It seems that we can update some equipment." Chen Jianqiu touched his chin.
