To be honest, Zhang Heng was not very lucky along the way. He just entered the dungeon and had to fuck a whole bar of people in order to drink, but later found out that they were related to his main mission. On the way to take Wendy to find his father I met the old cowboy, but the other party fought with him in order to send Wendy home, and when he arrived at the destination, he was involved in the conflict between the local miners and farmers. But fortunately tonight, his bad luck seemed to be finally coming to an end.
As soon as the sun set, a large cloud of dark clouds appeared in the sky, which directly blocked the moonlight, made the visibility at night very low, and indirectly increased the success rate of their operation tonight.
However, for the sake of caution, everyone decided to wait two more hours before taking action.
The battle is approaching, and everyone in the camp has different expressions on their faces.
Zhang Heng walked up to the old cowboy, who was in a daze holding a flagon that he carried with him.
"Are you okay?" Zhang Heng asked.
"Of course," said the old cowboy, "why am I bad?"
"You only talked about the relationship between Cook and Matthew, and your relationship with Matthew, but you didn't mention much about the relationship between you and Cook."
"There is nothing to mention between me and Cook." The old cowboy said, "I joined the Lucky Horseshoe because of Matthew, and Cook and I are just ordinary friends."
"Is that so, but from your tone, it can be heard that you admire Cook." Zhang Heng sat down in front of the old cowboy and put the Winchester rifle on his lap.
The latter was silent for a moment, and said, "He has always been the person I admire the most, no, it should be said that he is the person admired by all the young people in the town, even though... after what happened that night, I know She didn't tell me the whole plan, but I don't blame him, really, he knows me, he knows each of us, he knows that if the price is to kill the whole town, we may not join his revenge, so I can Forgive him for this matter, but everything that happened after that made me... a little hard to accept.
"Actually, I lied before. I went to him, alone, when the Cook gang was first formed. At that time, they had just ransacked a train, killed all the passengers on it, and took all valuables. They searched, and the rest of the goods were burned by them. At that time, the Cook Gang was not as cunning as later, and I found them along the trail they left."
"And then?" Zhang Heng took the wine jug handed over by the old cowboy, and took a sip as well.
"Then I was discovered by their people. A guy sneaked up and knocked me out from behind. When I opened my eyes again, I found myself tied to a tree."
"Didn't Cook recognize you?"
"No, he just looked at me quietly in front of me, and one of his men pointed a gun at my head. But at that time, I was very angry and didn't think about my own safety. I just asked him loudly why he changed. Be like this."
"How did he answer you?"
"He didn't answer me, he just asked me how many people I had and how I found them. I didn't answer his question, and then his men started beating me, which lasted about three minutes. They hit me hard, and my ribs were at least Two were broken, and just when I thought I was going to die, Cook finally told them to stop, and then told me that this was the first and last time, and if he met me again, he would beat me to death, saying After that they left, leaving me alone under that tree.
"I stayed there for a whole week before I was rescued by a caravan passing by." The old cowboy said, "So don't worry that I will keep my hands because of my past friendship. In fact, I also have a debt with him. Do the math."
...
Two hours passed quickly.
Zhang Heng and his party started to set off at nine o'clock in the evening. In order to avoid being discovered by the other party, they rode very slowly and wrapped their horseshoes in cloth. They didn't reach the outskirts of the forest until a quarter to ten.
The old cowboy's expression also became dignified. Now this visibility will certainly help them disguise as Major Wade and his soldiers, but it will also increase the difficulty of sneaking in. After the Cook gang entered the forest, they were the only ones in charge of scouting. People have already run back to report, so now they don't know anything about the situation in the forest, and they don't know what warning arrangements the other party has.
"Let me lead the way." Zhang Heng said, he took out the [filter lens] and put it on his eyes while talking.
Within the effective range of 300 meters, everything became clear again, and even the water droplets on the tree trunk could not escape Zhang Heng's eyes.
Everyone walked out about 200 yards away without making a sound, and then Zhang Heng stopped suddenly.
"What's the matter?" the old cowboy asked in a low voice.
"There are people on the tree ahead." Zhang Heng said.
With the help of [Filter Lens], Zhang Heng was able to clearly see a guy from the Cook Gang in charge of vigilance on a tree not far away.
This distance... is actually quite troublesome to deal with. After all, there are 19 people on Zhang Heng's side, so many people will still make noise no matter how carefully they move. Gunshots would reveal their whereabouts, and bows and arrows would not work, and the sound of corpses falling would also alarm others.
"Change the direction," Zhang Heng said.
Although the Cook Gang has thirty members, it is impossible to cover the entire forest, and the people in charge of security have different habits. For example, the guy Zhang Heng met after moving to the east was squatting under a tree.
Zhang Heng took his bow and arrow from a farmer, and then he moved forward cautiously for a certain distance. When he reached a distance of about 80 meters, the other party began to notice that the forest was full of dead branches and leaves. , Walking on it is inevitable that there will be movement, but fortunately, the other party can't see people clearly at this distance, so there is a high probability that they will think it is some wild animal.
Zhang Heng moved forward another ten meters, probably reaching the limit, then put [Paris' Arrow] on the bowstring, roughly aimed at the target's position, then let go of his fingers, and [Paris' Arrow] left the string It flew out, drew an arc in the night, and hit the target's heart accurately.
He only heard the guy let out a muffled groan, and he wanted to reach out to pull out the arrow stuck in his chest, but with his hand on the arrow, he couldn't use any more strength.
"It's safe." Zhang Heng rushed to the crowd behind him, and then came to the guy he shot to death, and retracted the [Paris Arrow].
After quietly pulling out the secret whistle in this direction, there was no trouble for the rest of the journey. Everyone quickly approached the hunter's lodge. This is also normal. After all, the Cook Gang is not in a state of war, and it is impossible to spend a lot of manpower On the outer layer of security.
