He's in the west, he's a cowboy

Chapter 167 Safe Retreat

"Damn it, we didn't kill him this time. This kind of person won't give up so easily." Arthur said angrily, sitting behind Zhou Zheng.

"It doesn't matter, he doesn't know where we are anyway." Zhou Zheng gritted his teeth and said: "Anyway, Cornwall is dead and our trouble is gone. This guy will be busy being his boss, at least for a short time. Here, he won’t come to trouble us.”

"I hope so." Arthur shook his head.

After a while, the two caught up with Dutch in front, and they had already mounted their horses. Seeing that the two of them had returned safely, Dutch also breathed a sigh of relief: "We must find a doctor for Charles quickly. His The situation is very bad.”

"The closest place to here is Valentine. We can't go anywhere else." Zhou Zheng said worriedly.

Even if Cornwall is killed, their wanted order has been issued after all. Even if there is a way to cancel it, there is no way now. The best thing is to get back to the Drooping Dog Ranch as soon as possible.

"Can we go to Hamish's place?" Seeing that Charles was so seriously injured, Arthur asked anxiously. This is the closest place to their current location.

"No, Zhou Xing knows that place, we can only continue to the west." Zhou Zheng shook his head and said helplessly.

Zhou Xing knows that place, and if he wants revenge, he will not let it go. They must be careful now.

"Then let's go. I hope he can hold on for a while. I just stopped his bleeding, but he is bleeding too much. We must get him some medicine as soon as possible." Javier was also anxious, but fortunately they all had them with them. The habit of injecting wound medicine and styptic medicine helped Charles stop the bleeding to some extent.

"Let's go, we don't have time to waste time." Zhou Zheng also hastily applied some medicine and a bandage on his leg to stop the bleeding first.

The group of people galloped towards the west. In order to avoid crowded places, they also went a little further north and walked west along the Ambarino State Railway, hoping to find a place where they could A place to stay temporarily.

No one had the intention to appreciate the beautiful scenery along the way. Dutch rode at the front to explore the road, while Arthur stayed behind to prevent anyone from catching up. Now they were the only two who were not seriously injured.

Zhou Zheng was walking slowly on his horse, thinking about everything he had experienced in the past few days. Looking back now, Zhou Xing, this guy, had been plotting against them all the time from the beginning.

He had always wanted to kill Zheng Hao and Cornwall and take over the power by himself. He had planted spies around Zheng Hao and Cornwall early, and had been waiting for an opportunity. After meeting Da Qi, he realized that the opportunity had come. .

An opportunity to kill Zheng Hao and throw the blame away perfectly.

He first tricked Zheng Hao into personally leading the team to escort Da Qi and others, and then asked Zheng Hao to set off with only a small number of troops in the name of claiming credit.

Regardless of whether he comes or not, the outcome is already determined. If he comes by himself, the mole will kill Zheng Hao to prevent him from turning around and cooperating with Zheng Hao. If he doesn't come, the ghost will kill Zheng Hao and give Da Qi a chance.

Because Zhou Xing knew clearly that it was impossible for Da Qi to actually carry out the plan to assassinate Cornwall and commit suicide. After seeing Zheng Hao being killed, how could Da Qi not run away with a gun in his hand.

As for that plan, Zhou Xing was talking nonsense. It was nothing more than an excuse to give Daqi weapons.

But it actually didn't matter whether he came or not, and it didn't matter whether Dutch ran away or not. The blame was passed on anyway.

The next step is even simpler. Zhou Xing leads his savage army to directly attack Cornwall's convoy. The effect is actually the same whether he is present or not.

And he calculated that if he blew up Cornwall immediately, he and others would definitely turn around and run away immediately. So he detonated the explosives in advance just to delay himself and others.

To put it bluntly, Zhou Xing definitely wanted to kill Cornwall, but Zhou Zheng didn’t dare to gamble. What if Zhou Xing didn’t kill Cornwall and let Cornwall run away? What conditions did Cornwall set for Zhou Xing to give up if things came to a head? Even if Zhou Zheng knew that this was probably impossible, would you risk the lives of your whole family?

So Zhou Zheng had no choice but to stand out and kill Cornwall first. What happened next was just as Zhou Xing expected. Zhou Zheng and others killed Cornwall, but were surrounded by Zhou Xing's people. If Arthur hadn't used a surprise weapon to suppress Zhou Xing with a shot, they would have failed this time. .

As for him, let alone killing Zhou Zheng and others, only the dead would shut up and his plan would not be leaked.

Moreover, Zhou Xing is very busy when he goes back this time. The gangs, the upper class, and the gangsters are not easy for him to deal with. Even if he does, his hands are not that long and he cannot reach West Elizabeth.

However, Zhou Zheng could use William's relationship to repeatedly cause trouble for him, whether it was Mr. Jones or Bronte's gangsters.

At least in the future, his life will not be easy, so he must kill Zhou Zheng and others so that he can feel at ease.

Zhou Zheng did not fare well this time. Although no one was killed, Trelawny and Charles were seriously injured. Javier and Bill were injured. Zhou Zheng was also injured. Although Dutch and Arthur were okay, they were inevitably bumpy.

So this time everyone had to rest for a long time before they could recover. Although the process was tortuous, the ending was good. Cornwall was dead and Trelawny was successfully rescued.

I have to go find William after I go back. These things have to be settled well, and don't lay any surprises for yourself that will make it funny if it blows up later.

And this time when I go back, there are more important things. I must find a way to have my own connections and influence.

If he wants to protect his ranch, he must have his own connections and weapons. He can only rely on William's power now, which is far from enough.

He had to get to know more people in Strawberry Town, Blackwater Town, and even Valentine, which was not far away. He couldn't hang himself on William's tree.

The armed forces are not bad, but except for Wei Xin, everyone only has a cooperative relationship. Although everyone is trapped on a rope because of the ranch, in the end we are partners and they are not Zhou Zheng's subordinates.

If you want to grow bigger, you must have a few subordinates of your own, right?

There is also money. If you want to get into the upper class, money is absolutely necessary. Although Zhou Zheng is not short of money now, but use it less. For the future life, you must have a stable business, that's it. You can't make a fortune from a pasture.

Is there any good business in this world? Zhou Zheng was thinking over and over in his mind about the businesses he knew about, but either the technology level was not high enough or the risks were too high to do it at all.

But there's no rush for this matter. Let's think about it slowly after we get back.

Zhou Zheng is not in a hurry. This kind of thing doesn't happen overnight. Just making money is not easy. It's enough for a few of them to rob banks. The important thing is the follow-up. Let's not talk about whether it is legal or not. At least it must be safe and stable.
