Chapter 303 The highest reward in history [continued]
The moon was cloudless, the dark blue dome bordered the distant horizon, a bonfire was burning slowly, and Tuco's expression flickered on and off like a bonfire.
After hearing the news of the reward that night, Tu Ke no longer wanted to continue his leisurely life. His experience as an intelligence dealer who had been in the West for many years told him that the person on the wanted order was most likely his mysterious Eastern partner!
The elusive speed, the incredible marksmanship, the mind-reading witchcraft, the long knife that has never been seen in its entirety, and most importantly, the town where the massacre of soldiers occurred is less than two hundred miles away from here...
With so many coincidences connected together, he couldn't imagine anyone in the West other than this kind of person who would have the ability or the courage to commit such a shocking crime. The key point was that the military camp was not a bank, a treasury, or a train. How many of those soldiers could
money?!
Although he had never seen the other party kill anyone in the limited cooperation, Tu Ke could never naively think that the other party was a kind-hearted person with a soft heart. There must be some special reason that he could not guess.
Every time he thought of the opponent's astonishingly long sword, Tuko couldn't help but bite the cigar in his mouth several times...
"Cold weapons...beheadings...Mr. Wizard, is it really you? Tu Ke is going to get rich..." Tu Ke shook his head. He could annihilate a regular army company by himself. I'm afraid he won't be able to wait for the reward.
Got it... He shrank his neck, raised his head and took a sip of strong wine, his dizzy brain constantly swinging between fantasy and fear.
He held the silver-plated cross on his chest and scratched it randomly a few times. Tuko leaned back and fell asleep.
After an unknown amount of time, Tu Ke became a little irritated by the burning heat on his cheeks. He turned over and tried to avoid the flames that seemed to be about to lick his face.
Huh? The flame? It should have been extinguished long ago, how could it be possible! Tu Ke woke up instantly, but still lay there calmly on his side, his fingers slowly moving closer to the handle of the gun...
"It's me." A familiar hoarse voice made Tu Ke jump up. The wizard friend who had been thinking about it day and night was concentrating on gently stirring the bonfire with a dead branch.
"My best friend, my closest partner, Tu Ke is finally waiting for you! I didn't expect you to still remember our agreement... I thought I would never see you again! Thank God!" Excited!
Tu Ke wanted to step forward and give him a big hug, but as soon as he moved, he was frightened by the smell of blood that was so strong that it choked his nose, and he took two steps back.
"Are you scared?" Ichiyo Sora asked calmly.
"Uh...Afraid? No, no, no, my friend, you know that Tu Ke is reluctant to leave. Every time this happens, he has to get himself drunk. Yes, I can't stand still. Don't mind. I drank too much.
Too much..." Tuco's big mouth squeezed out a twisted "W" shape, and his two shining golden teeth were trying to express the meaning of "I am sincere".
"Of course I don't mind, just like you don't mind that I killed a lot of American troops, right Tuko?" Ichiyo Sorayama was still focusing on stirring the bonfire, but he said words that made Tuko frightened.
Tu Ke fell to his knees with a plop and cried sadly: "My partner, Mr. Wizard, poor Tu Ke doesn't know what you are going to say..."
Seeing that Kazuyo Sorayama didn't react at all, Tuko climbed up to Kazuyo Sorayama on his hands and knees. The pitiful look on his face might even make a tiger feel pity. He held the cross and said tremblingly: "Your reward orders have been spread all over the United States.
Everyone is crazy... After all, that's a hundred thousand dollars! You can't escape, Mr. Wizard. For the sake of poor Tuco who has helped you, let me go. I swear I will never let you go.
The news is revealed!"
"In that case, why did you come back and wait for me?" Ichiyo Sorayama said.
Yes, why did you come? I should have thought of it in the first place... Although I don’t know how the partner in front of me guessed it or calculated it? I know about the reward order, but with the other party’s magic, I definitely can’t hide it.
Passable.
Tu Ke felt a little regretful in his heart. He lowered his head and explained: "Although Tu Ke knew that it was impossible to get the one hundred thousand US dollars, he was still very curious and wanted to confirm whether it was you, and...friend, you shouldn't
You know, your face and name are not on the wanted poster, and you can get a reward of 10,000 US dollars for providing accurate clues..."
"Then you can find an opportunity to sneak away and get the money easily. After all, it's not a big risk, is it?"
After hearing Kazuyo Sorayama's words, Toko rarely refuted. This attitude of acquiescing to waiting for death surprised Kazuyo Sorayama, who was well aware of his rogue character.
Before Tu Ke spoke, he was actually not sure of the other party's intentions, and had no idea that he was so valuable.
But it's not surprising when you think about it. After all, even if you were placed in the Tokugawa Shogunate, what you did was enough to break the sky. It is normal for you to be wanted and arrested by the government immediately, let alone the United States of this era.
Anyway, it was not the first time that he was wanted for a sky-high price. He was not that nervous. Even compared with the reward offered by the shogunate in the previous world, one hundred thousand US dollars made him feel a bit stingy. The only thing he did not expect was the efficiency of this era, but
In just a few days, in such a barbaric land, bandits like Tu Ke who had been hanging around at the bottom knew everything.
Fortunately, I have always been cautious, otherwise I would have been doomed to be in trouble if I wanted to leave this country.
Thinking of carrying Bagley's head to pay homage to the graves where all the Cheyenne people are buried, the lightness and clarity that burst out from the sword heart to the soul made him feel that what he had done
, is correct.
He did not commit murder in the name of justice.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you." Sorayama Kazuyo turned his head and said in a hoarse and indifferent voice with a tone that was inherently trustworthy.
Hearing this, Tu Ke suddenly jumped up in surprise. His two little eyes were gleaming with light, and he instantly regained his true nature. He opened his mouth and laughed loudly: "I knew it! Mr. Wizard, my best partner!"
If those friends in the tavern had promised him this, he would have sworn that he would not believe a word of it. Instead, he would be doubly wary of whether the other party was trying to play any more dangerous tricks; but based on his limited understanding of the unsmiling middle-aged man next to him,
, as long as the other party says it, he will definitely abide by it!
"What about our plan?" Tu Ke patted his chest: "I've made inquiries in the past few days. The most valuable group has not hid in Mexico. It should be nearby... Well, a few hundred miles away... It doesn't matter, anyway.
It’s not too far away, the total reward for this group of people should be enough for 20,000 US dollars, hehe, we will be rich soon!”
"If you act together with me, if your government finds out, your reward will probably not be small."
"You damn Yankees!" Tuco spat viciously, "The Lone Star Republic has been occupied by them, but Mexico is not their territory. With you here, we can make a fortune wherever we go!"
Then he carefully glanced at Kazuyo Sorayama: "My friend, Tuko sincerely makes a little suggestion to you. Next time you act, you'd better cover your face, and use your big knife.
Put it away... If you are really found out by those Yankee governments, not to mention Mexico, even if you escape to the other side of the Pacific, many people will be interested in you."
On the other side of the Pacific Ocean... Kazuyo Sorayama stood up holding the captain's light and slowly said: "Maybe, I'll try my best."
